"Last night
I couldn't even get an answer
I tried to call
But my pride wouldn't let me dial
And I'm sitting here
With this blank expression
And the way I feel
I wanna curl up like a child"

It's Friday, and I have no plans today.

Tempted as I was to drive my lazy ass to the mall to enjoy Black Friday, I couldn't possibly. Although I finally recieved my very generous check from Long Beach Memorial to pay for next semester's tuition and books, responsibility told me, "Stay home. Don't spend that money. You're going to need it ( Read more... )

It's 10:03 pm and there's a Lantern Festival going on at Hollywood Park. I can hear cultural Asian music coming from a mile away - flutes, drums, and all.

"So this is love, mmmm
So this.. is love
So this is what makes life divine
I'm all aglow, mmmm
And now I know

I'll touch every star in the sky

So this is the miracle
That I've been dreaming of

Mmmm...
So this is love"

"Where have you been
I was callin' your name
Take me with you, yeah
Nothing here is the same, no no
Where have you been
There's no turning back, no no
And there'll be no, no turning around
I'm hoping what was once lost was found
Can I ride on a one way train to heaven?
Can I ride on a one way train to heaven?
Don't worry, don't worry 'bout love"

Jack wakes up at home with a huge hangover he can't believe. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Jack looks around the room and sees that ( Read more... )

Last final is tomorrow morning... Then I have a whole week of summer vacation. You read that correctly, people. I have ONE WEEK for summer vacation, and I go back to nursing school for a grueling six weeks. Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhh. What I look forward to? The fact that (assuming I pass all my classes) I graduate next year. Now that's some CRAZY shit

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there and the mom's to be. I hope one day I get to be one. =D. I just have to share this funny conversation I just had with my parents.

I was in the house with my mom while my dad was taking out the car.

me: so mom, where are you going?
