So, while waiting for the party bus to arrive, I decided to go to the restroom at Starbucks. Bathroom at the bus did not sound appealing so, while waiting in line, a group of middle school kids come in and wait in line with me. The taller of the bunch (but still extremely midget) starts to talk to me.

Boy: I've met you before right?
Me: No.
Boy: ...
Boy: What high school did you go to?
Me: None around here hon.
Bathroom is free, I go in then go out.
Boy: So, I'll see you around.
Me: Heh, yes, of course.

I then of course get out of Starbucks and start bawling. OMG, he was like, a seventh grader! Did he really try that? So funny!

Ahhh... I must say though, right now all I can smell is gin. Damn gin, never liked that shit and now I hate it even more. UGH.

Man, I swear my nyr was to cut back on drinking but damn, I'm horrible! One day, I swear....

Finally, I applied to graduate school. Damn, applications were expensive and I even messed up on my UCD application and had to resubmit it all over - 60$ wasted! I'm so bitter at embark for that! But I guess I shouldn't have been so careless!

Anyways, these are the schools and programs I ended up applying to for the Ph.D program:

UC Davis ~ Mechanical Engineering
UC Santa Barbara ~ Mechanical Engineering
UC Santa Cruz ~ Applied Mathematics & Statistics
University of Maryland ~ Applied Mathematics
University of Michigan ~ Applied and Interdisciplinary Mathematics

My back up school will of course be San Jose State's master's program. I don't need to apply for that until the end of next semester so I'm going to wait that out.

Finally though! Something out of my way!!!

On a different topic in general, OW, my leg hella hurts. I swear my body is falling to pieces after 22 years of existing. >__> Meh.

I'm not sure if I posted what I got for Christmas, but it wasn't much. I got new sweaters and a good amount of cash for Christmas. I also got two bottles of Remy (my favorite alchy) from my boys who had no clue what to get me and decided that alcohol was the best choice. I also got some DVDs and books for Christmas as well.

However, the present that I was really waiting on I didn't get until today because my friend and I didn't get to see each other during the holidays. What I got was a new coach handbag!

I must tell you that I'm like, "meh, whatever" on handbags. So my friend Erin was completely "zomg, your bag is so damn ugly, you need a nice one to wear out!" Thus, she told me before Christmas that I would be getting a new handbag. I was like whatever but it was a bit exciting receiving something that was purely luxury.

Anyways, I'm a bit in love with it right now, so here are the pictures.

( for the sake of not spamming )

It's been nearly a year since I graphic designed... I finally got to redoing the blue like I had wanted to do for a long while... so check out my new layout for Wishing-Blue.

Also, does anyone need webhosting? I might be able to host a few more people on W-B if they would like...

I've been home since Friday night. So this has been the past few days in a nutshell for me.

Friday - unpack and go to great mall for half an hour to meet up with one of my best friends. gleed with her as she made ice cream for people (and me!)

Saturday - go out and eat yummy Indian food, go to Japanese market & bookstore, go get Jamba Juice, go to verizon to get phone fixed, and then go home, go to church stay at church, go eat with church people, come back, and go home.

Sunday - go out with friend to oakridge mall. see harry potter with friend. eat at cheesecake factory (WTF, OMG, YUM), walk around a bit, go home and stay home for a bit. sister then comes and sister and brother and i go to valley fair to go to shopping. giggled at brother's overexcitement at buying mall food. got slacks and christmas present for said brother and father.

Monday - go bowling with cousin and friends. go to dave and busters (to which i ordered a virgin strawberry daquiri and recieved one that was anything but innocent) which is attached to the mall so also went around the mall. went home. second sister comes and takes me out to eat (haha, chinese food too). then go to pick up other sister and we go to stoneridge mall.

Tuesday - indepedent shopping day. go to washington mutual to deposit checks (no wamu's in tucson, sad) and go shop at target to which i dance around the aisle going "GLEEEEE". target is my best friend.

Wednesday - go out with friend to stanford shopping mall/center. go eat lunch with said friend's boyfriend and her. go home. sing karoke for bit of time. then go to mall (valley fair again). then go pick up friends and drop mom off. we go bowling then. we bowl and we bowl (SO FUN!) and then drop off friends once again. made it home.

In other words, I HAVE A SOCIAL LIFE! YIPPIE!

Ideas about what will happen following days.

Thursday - hang out with another said friend. most likely lunch or starbucks. lots of talking.
Friday - again to oakridge mall with my bestest friends in the world (ZOMG, SALLY'S HOME... now we wait for Thommy!). Want to go to Cheesecake factory again..!
Saturday - Christmas dinner/lunch. Church. Home.
Sunday and onward - No say.

^____________________^

I like being home.

Stole it from people who stole it from other people.

1. Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/etc. that you've had an obsessive fannish love of at some time in your life.

2. Have your flist guess your favourite character from each item.

( And here we go... )

Officially ignoring ekaterinn. Everyone should do it actually. She needs to write her SGA and Yule fic for Christmas. We should do a massive boycott of her until she writes them.

My notes.

The trio? Goofy. I love whenever Hermonie would talk to Harry and Ron. Harry especially seems to humour her greatly. *giggles* It's great.
Harry crying over Cedric? Made me want to cry.
Graphics? To die for.
Overall? Great.

Sure, they cut out some things and whatnot, but truthfully, Harry Potter movies are more for the actual bringing the book to life than it is for the plotline and everything. Just gives you a visual. Definately a good movie.

It took a cab ride from the taxi hub that lives directly across the street from us, pulling off my sneakers and having them Xray everything and a Flight from Tucson to Vegas, stop, hour and a half wait to which I walked around until I came to realize that there was free wifi. Thus I chatted. Then got on the plane again, dead tired, and flew to San Jose. So I wait for my luggage to appear, wait for my sister to appear and then there we were, on our way back home. That is after my sister realized she took the wrong freeway turn.

Anyways, home. Had tons of packages. Lots of goodies, manga and doujinshis I bought, gifts from nutty, and christmas gifts I ordered, textbooks I ordered and then random Christmas cards.

Sankyuu all.

....*sniff* can't believe I'm only staying here for three weeks. I must tell you all how when the plane was arriving, it was gorgeous the entire place was lit up and there are TREES and Christmas lights and people and faces and a BED!

I'm so going out. ASAP.

Of course, whenever mklutz and I get together and talk about things we can do together, they become these grand ideas that with both of us working together... we can so do it.

So next plot is a plot we plan to do in the next ten years.

Yeah, totally, we're such geeks.

THREE MORE DAYS AND I'LL BE HOME!

.............I so need sleep.

AkinoShigure: This is me.
AkinoShigure: This was me earlier.
JainaX: blink?
AkinoShigure: *daydreaming while riding her bike*
AkinoShigure: suddenly, black thing is spotted from corner of my eye.
AkinoShigure: it's a DOG! OMG, it's gonna eat me.
JainaX: :O
AkinoShigure: "Ahhhhhh....!" I say, gasping.
AkinoShigure: Owner looks at me weird as he is locking up his bike.
AkinoShigure: I nearly collide to a horrible and painful death by ramming into the wall as I try and get my heart from stopping.
AkinoShigure: Dog stops, looks behind, and ignores me.
AkinoShigure: I am saved.
JainaX: !!!
AkinoShigure: *sniffles* you sould be happy that I'm still alive.
JainaX: I am!
AkinoShigure: I wouldn't be allive for long if the Dog didn't decide I was a poor college student that tastes bad.
AkinoShigure: and that the wall didn't like, jump out at me and smash me.
AkinoShigure: ;_______________________; Biking home from school is dangerous business man. DANGGERRROUUUSSS
JainaX: omg it is perilous
AkinoShigure: *sniff* I know. And to think I have to do this every day. And a block away from my house there was a dog at the corner watching me with no owner in sight.
AkinoShigure: I'm telling you, call canines are out to get me. I just know it.
JainaX: they must like pie
AkinoShigure: Luckily, I sent out a "There's a cat on the other side of the street so you must ignore me" vibe out so his attention was diverted.
JainaX: heheh
AkinoShigure: that's when i had to bike extra hard and extra fast. It's uphill you know. Like a sharp angle. So there I am, biking my way, sending these trippy vibes out to this dog and praying to go that the Tucson drivers won't run me over. They're also out to get me too.
AkinoShigure: Damn drivers.
JainaX: I think you're a leeeeetle paranoid
AkinoShigure: ....................that's just cause you haven't had the encounter with the satalite dishes that the American Baseball League has up.
AkinoShigure: It made the Simpsons you know, it's all true.
JainaX: of course it is

This is definately the time for me to post up on my journal to gloat to all the people on my flist that is doing yuletide the fact that as of 4:10 AM this morning, I have officially completetd my Yuletide assignment and have uploaded it onto the site. Granted, it took me ten hours of today of obsessively writing and plotting (filled with sounds of banging heads, fists, and bars of soap onto tables and crying to anyone who was willing to listen and those who weren't but were forced to listen anyways), I finished my fic and got it beta-ed, uploaded, and posted on the site.

Hohohoho. I'm definately proud and will rub it in ALL your faces!

.........

PS: Good luck to you all. May the force of the neon pink haired goose fairy of Wellington be with you

Today, I got a care package from my friend in the mail! ^___^ She made me a bag full of snickerdoddles (which is my ultimate favorites... her snickerdoodles), some dried fruit (mango and bananas), a candle, and all sorts of goodies! ^___^ I was pretty excited when I got it. Heh.
