I did it. I made a new journal.
Add me stasianary

I really, really, really want it to work out this time.
I just need to do it. Lol.

Anyway, this is a heads up for all of my loyal friends & fans. :)

Remember back in the day when I used to post at least 5 random things? Hmm.. I think I should go back to that. Or maybe I should just make a new journal. How long has it been?? Too long. I think plsexy5 almost needs to be put to sleep. Reinvention is in order. I do rock the stasianary. But then again, it's kinda sad, like, this name has been with me for SO LONG. I'm loyal, what can I say? Anyways, I know that LJ has been there for me, so I'll try to be there for it. Well, watch this space. I just might make a new one. Maybe.

got back from CT yesterday. [sad face]
It was a long flight. Boston to Atlanta to LA to Honolulu.
Left at 10:30 a.m. [Eastern] [which is 4:30 a.m. Hawaiian Time] & got to Hawaii at 10:30 p.m. [Hawaiian Time] [which is 4:30 a.m. Eastern]. Brilliant. 18 hours of traveling.

I almost gave up my seat in Atlanta for $1200 Delta Dollars which would have totally paid for my flight back to VA for graduation, but alas, I'm chicken!!

I'm planning on making a big update about my trip with pictures & all that jazz, maybe tomorrow, maybe Wednesday, maybe sometime soon. I'm kinda in that blah mood, you know, just got back, miss the hubby like crazy.

It didn't really hit me until this afternoon when I was talking to him & he was getting ready for bed. It made me think about how I wasn't getting ready for bed with him. Awh, that's when it hit me. Hard. But I'm trying to stay positive. He'll be home in about 3 weeks. I'll just hold onto that.

I think I'm gonna go lay down. I didn't go to work today because I was tired [& sick], so I think I might go to bed or at least rest some.

p.s. That guy, on Prision Break, think his name is Wentworth Miller, is a hottie. I thought you should know that. Haha.

p.p.s. Good Charlotte's new album Good Morning Revival is AMAZING! I've seriously listened to it on repeat all day long. My http://www.last.fm/user/stasianary/ [last.fm] can totally prove it!!

p.p.p.s. Look at my hottie husband:

Update from Connecticut

Tue, 20 Mar 2007 18:21:53 GMT

Hey, just checking in while Corey is at school/work.. [boo for school/work, of course when I come to visit he has to stay at work until 4 in the afternoon!! :(]

Anyways, things are good so far, except for the unexpected SNOW! I got off the plane & was totally shocked that it was snowing. I didn't really pack for snow, darn you weather.com! Haha. Anyways, I think the worst is over. It's a little warmer today & most of the snow is melted.

We had a blast in Boston for St. Patrick's Day. It was crazy! We ended up staying in the bar at our hotel because it was so cold outside. I seriously had the best corned beef & cabbage that I've ever had. :)

Then we went to Salem to explore a little. We didn't go in the witch museum, but we checked out the wax museum because Corey wanted to. It wasn't too bad. We also took some pictures with the various statues around the town. Corey decided that no one would even visit Salem if it weren't for the whole Witch Trial thing.

We've been staying in New London, CT with Lara & Sara. It's been nice. Lara, Sara & I went for a drive to Old Saybrook yesterday, but we couldn't find it!! HAha.. How great is that? We had lunch at Panera Bread <3 my favorite!! Oh, it was so good & it warmed me up!

Tonight Corey & I might go mini golfing. :) We'll see.

Anyways, that's my update for now. Hopefully there will be more of an update in a few more days! :)

It's been a while. & I think about writing. But then, I feel like I don't have anything to write [partly] & I can't bring myself to write.

But today I was feeling passionate.

So here it is:

Some people aren't passionate about anything. Some people are passionate about the wrong things. I'm passionate about books [& women's colleges].

I haven't been doing much reading lately. I blame that mostly on the computer & my newest obsession LMS. But I like LMS & I like the people that I am meeting, so I haven't really thought that much about the lack of good books in my life.

I finished a book last week called "Nick & Nora: Infinite Playlist" & it was a book that I had seen on the shelves of one of the best bookstores in the world, in Lake Forest Park, Washington called Third Place Books. It's the way that bookstores should be. Lots of comfy chairs, recommendations everywhere, used & new books flooding the shelves. I'm pretty sure I could have lived in that store & have been happy.

What is it? Something about the way that books smell. Something about the way that the thick paper rubs along the bottoms of your fingertips. Something about flipping that jacket & skimming along the paragraphs, eager to find out what this book has in store for you. What adventure is lying somewhere between its 300 pages.

I get those emails from Borders Rewards, that tell you about the HOT new book of the week or the HOT new dvd that's out. Sometimes I skim over them. I'm not really one to go out & get "Millions of Tiny Pieces" just because Oprah or someone "read it" & it's the HOTTEST thing out there.

It's a complicated relationship that I have with books. When I was little, my room was overflowing with books. I had three shelves on two walls dripping with books. I would stand on my chair & pick out the ones that I wanted, the ones that were so good that I wanted to read them until I fell asleep & then read them all over when I woke up. There were so many picture stories that I sometimes search the internet for now, wanted to have that nostalgic feeling that I got from them back. Fabulous ones like "The Paper Bag Princess" & "Twenty-four Robbers" that I would be lucky to even find at a garage sale in this day & age.

Then I discovered the Baby-sitter's Club & I absorbed those stories like a sponge. Buying every one that I could get my hands on. I did chores during the week so I could go out & get the new BSC. I would beg my mom to take me to the library so I could check out the ones that I couldn't find at the bookstore. I have over 150 BSC books, maybe even close to 200. Still. All the mysteries. All the super editions. All the super mysteries. I would talk about the characters at the dinner table like they were friends of mine from school. "Mom, you'll never guess what Kristy did today." "Claudia's sister is being so mean to her." My mom would ask who these people were & I would always reply, "Some people in my book." I always wanted to live in the books, not because I was escaping reality, but because, they always sucked me in so much. I never wanted the story to end. I would sometimes cry when the story ended because I didn't know what to do with myself after they were gone. Even in my own stories, the endings are the hardest part.

It's just amazing to me, that you can read a book & the afterwards feel different than how you felt when you started it. Like the book was really speaking to you, really taking you along with it, really wanted to SHOW you something, really helping you SEE something.

I really feel this way. I just finished a book. I had heard about it before. My favorite genre is young adult fiction because that's the genre that I dream of writing someday. I don't dream of writing it, because I do write it, but I dream of creating it, creating a world that someone else cries about leaving. Creating a world that will one day be read by someone else.

I saw this book in the YA section of my library, while I was digging in the trough of new books. I even picked it up & read the back. But it wasn't time for me to read it yet, so without even knowing why, I put it back, & forgot about it. Back to the Borders Rewards Monthly. I got it yesterday or Wednesday, I can't remember, & I am just glancing through it. It mentions something about a Borders Book Club & I think to myself, "Everyone has a book club now." I'm actually thinking about joining the LMS book club, maybe that's why I was willing to look.

So I look at the recommendations for the Borders Book Club. There are four titles, with pictures. & it's the picture that catches my eye. The cover is black with a thin whisp of smoke trailing up the front of it. "Looking for Alaska" is the title. & I say, "Oh yeah, I remember this book." So I read the little blurb, something about finding something, boarding school, Alabama, girl named Alaska. Hmm. that's unusual Alabama & Alaska. So I jot down the title, with some others & make plans to pick it up at the library.

Yesterday I went to the library, sucessfully found "Looking for Alaska" & picked it up. & haven't really put it down until about 30 minutes ago when I finished reading it. It was the kind of book that makes you feel so thoughtful afterwards. Like, yes, you did just take something away from those pages. Yes, there is a little piece of the characters inside of you. It's been like this with a few books for me. I keep the characters tucked away inside of me, think of them when certain things happen in my life. [pretty much all of the characters from the "Everworld" series. Yes, Christopher, you're here too.]

& one of the first thoughts, as I put down "Looking for Alaska," thinking about the last paragraph, the last sentence, the last word, was, I hope that I write with meaning someday. I hope that someone puts down my book & shares a quiet moment with themself & think about what they are taking away from my words. Yeah, I've written stories. I've written pretty good stories. But I'm not sure if any of them have MEANING. Like they MEAN something at the end. Like someone could analyze it & think about what I was trying to package up & give to my reader. Their own little sliver of truth.

I think that's what I want my readers to leave with.

This is so rambled. What am I even trying to say.

Here it is. The sliver of truth.

"Looking for Alaska" is one of the best books I have ever read. I now know why it earned itself the 2006 Michael L. Printz Award for Young Adult Literature, the 2006 Best Books for Young Adults, & the 2005 Teens' Top Ten. It's amazing.

It's inspriring me to write again. Something that I haven't done in a long time, & I don't even know why I stopped. But it's sparking me. & Maybe then I will be able to continue something that I started so long ago. Something that I started when I picked up "Harriet the Spy" & began my love affair with writing. Yeah, everyone wants to get their message out there. Everyone wants to leave a lasting imprint on other people. Sometime people do it in not good ways. & sometimes people do it with books.

I'm a slacker.
I've been thinking a lot.
But then I can't bring myself to write it.
SLACKER.

& there is no way that I can catch up on all of the back posts.
So if there is something that you posted about,
that you are dying for me to read
or it's something that you know I'll LOVE
leave the link or give me the cliff notes version.

I'm alive.

Monday, is my 1 month anniversary.
I saw Corey 12 of those days.
:*(

Oh well, I'm okay though..

COREY GOT HIS ORDERS! HAWAII FOR TWO MORE YEARS!
That's good news.

Ummmmmmmmmm. I dunno. I'm going to try & get back into this writing thingie.

I guess that's my sad little update.
I'm going to bed anyways.

♥

I got the goods!

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 03:08:14 GMT

Uh.. let's just say that it's been a while.. a looooooong while..

Corey left yesterday to go back to Connecticut. I think I did pretty good with holding myself together. Cried a little bit at the airport, but I maintained control. Maybe I'm getting better at it.

I know everyone wants to hear about the wedding.. but.. I have to get out my stressful day first!

Corey called at 6 a.m. to tell me he was boarding the plane from Phoneix to Boston, & I made the mistake of getting up & then didn't make it back to sleep.

Then we had to take Charlotte to the doctor's by 9:00 a.m. so I went with them so I could go get my name changed at the Social Secruity Office, the DMV, & the bank. Turns out the SS office in Pearl City is closed so we had to go to the one in Kapolei after Charlotte was done. And guess how long it took there? TWO AND A HALF FREAKING HOURS. The people who work their [in Corey's words] are as slow as molasses in winter. Not to mention that their would be 4 windows open & then there would be only one. When I got there, they were on number 215 & I was number 245 .. so it took them 30 minutes to go 15 people!!! GAH. Nightmare. & my iPod wasn't charged & there was no music in there or tv or even magazines. Two hours of staring at the wall.

THEN as if that wasn't bad enough [by the way, when I made it to the counter, it took them like 7 minutes to give me the paperwork.. mind boggling!] when it was my turn, I kinda felt a little worried that I had leaked [yeah go figure!] & then when I left the office & went downstairs I found out that there was a huge spot. So I called Scyntha to come & get me.. & it seemed like they took forever! Gah, so then I went home to change & then went back out to the DMV [took maybe 30 minutes] & the bank [10 minutues, but I have to go back tomorrow].

Scyntha & Charlotte went back to Alabama today. They just left for the airport.

It's quiet at my house again.

Anyways, on to the good stuff...

The wedding was awesome. The pictures are beautiful. The weather was beautiful. The only semi bad thing was they momentarily lost my ring. But luckily I got it back before the ceremony was over. My dress was lovely & everyone looked really great! There was a pod of whales off the coast of where we got married. That's good luck.. one of the pictures even has the dorsal fins of one in it! :)

The party was fun too. I'd say about 60 people showed up.

A friend of Corey's family Ann Cecil took a whole bunch of pictures at the recpiton & the ceremony. She's going to make one of those hard bound albums for me. I'm excited about that. I think I'm going to go to her house & work on that some time next week. We also had a photographer from the wedding.. he took amazing shots.

Corey & I stayed at the Hawaii Prince Hotel for the night.. that was amazing.. the rooms were huge with an awesome view. I took some pictures. Of the room!! ;)

We were going to go to Maui for a couple of days for a mini honeymoon, but all of the rooms on Maui were booked. Go figure. It was like their busiest week of the year or something! lame.

So we went to Paradise Cove Luau instead. & we bought the expensive seating.. so that was nice.. Corey wasn't feeling super good so it could have been a little more fun, but I still think he enjoyed it. We met this crazy couple [of lesbians] from Flordia. They sat with us [& drank with us lol].

I am too tired to post pictures now. I think I'm just going to put a bunch of them in um.. webshots or something. There are a few on myspace & facebook. I will try not to be too long without them.. feel free to nag if it's been too long. LOL.

Okay, I'm gonna go.. Veronica Mars or someting..

CREATE YOUR CARD

birthdays & weddings .. I'm crazy

Wed, 06 Dec 2006 07:25:52 GMT

have the worst dry hands at the moment.. just because I washed the dishes for my daddy.. now I have dishpan hands! Ready for wifedom, right? LOL

Okay, wedding plans.. everything is coming along nicely.. my mom is the stressed one! LOL.. I think it's because Corey's not here.. I think if he was around, getting in my hair, arguing about seating arrangements, everything might be more real for me.. I mean it's real.. but it's .. kinda surreal, like a dream.. but today I did realize that I'm getting married in like 2 weeks!! IT'S SO WEIRD!!

Two of my best friends from R-MWC are coming for the wedding! I am so excited about that..

It's crazy, we have to go to the airport 5 days in a row..
We pick up my first college roommate, Becky & her mom on Saturday, December 16th
Then we pick up Ashley & Cindy from R-MWC on Sunday, December 17th
& my Aunt Maryann [my mom's best friend from Alaska] & Kelsey are coming in Monday, December 18th
Then there is Scyntha & Charlotte [my sisters] are coming in Tuesday, December 19th from Alabama
& last, but not least, Corey's Mom, Linda & COREY come in on Wednesday, December 20th [talk about cutting it close!!]

& THEN if THAT WASN'T CUTTING IT CLOSE ENOUGH:

COREY & I have to go downtown to get our Marriage Lisence on the 21st!! I can't get it alone, they said that we both have to go & apply IN PERSON. Go figure, but I hear that it's really easy, so that's good.

& Then FRIDAY, It's the DAY!

My Maid of Honor, April got her bridesmaid dress.. it's chocolate brown with a teal ribbon around the waist.. she says it's like some Ann Taylor dress, but I am yet to see that dress.. but her's is really cute.

OOOOOOOOh, I didn't even write about my birthday,
which was Saturday, December 2nd, for those of you who don't/didn't know

Corey bought me the Ipod Video 80Gig .. so that was REALLY EXCITING. I put the whole beginning of Season Three of Veronica Mars on it.. & some music videos [but they got messed up & I have to fix them]
& a bunch of songs.. I love that it's not even anywhere close to being full.
He also got me $25 for itunes & $25 @ Best Buy to buy a case.. spoiled!!

My Mom & Dad are going to get me a new pair of tennis shoes.. hopefully that will encourage me to .. um.. actually exercise!

My friend April got me a cute nightgown.. it's lepoard print with red lacy trim.. she says it's mostly for Corey.. LOL
My friend Christine got me a bouquet of flowers & a bottle of Bailey's.. we were going to make Buttery Nipples my favorite shot, but apparently the package store was out of Butterscotch Snnapps.. bummer.
My co-worker, Shirley & her kids came over to my house for cake & playing around, her kids are so cute.. I really like hanging out with them.. they got me some really good smelling bath stuff.. & it matches my new bathroom.

[speaking of my new bathroom, my dad got me this really cool over the toliet cupboard.. & I put all my stuff away.. it's so nice to have somewhere to put my stuff again!]

My grandma sent me $75.. haven't decided what that is for yet.. lingerie for the wedding?? ;)
Sara, my mom's student teacher, got me Season 2 of ONE TREE HILL.. she said it was a present that only I would appreciate.. hahahaha.. I was so surprised, it's a great present.. One Tree Hill is my guilty pleasure!
Rachel, planetaryhaze [hopefully that's your right new sn.. LOL] bought me 2 months of extra livejournal paid time & 2 months of extra user pictures time.. I love livejournal.. LOL
& Of course, no one probably cares, but on Neopets, some people in my guild [which is like a club] got me some Apple items for my gallery [collection].. I collect Apples.. LOL.. okay, enough of the nerdy stuff!

& I bought myself the new book by Meg Cabot: Size 14 is not Fat Either.. so far it's really good.. I love Meg Cabot.. she writes just like me!

& I got this really cool book called, The Nest.. & I forgot the rest of the title, & I'm too lazy to get up & go get it, but it's basically a kinda guide for life after the wedding.. it's by the same people who do theknot.com & thenest.com .. It has a lot of great advice, like about how to fight fair, & how to plan babies, & how to mesh all of the different stuff together.. haha.. just the kind of book for me.

Uh.. hmm.. I can't think of anything else at the moment..
But that's a lot.. you should be able to occupy yourself. Hopefully it won't be a super long time before another update.

OOH, one more thing, my mom made me Black Forest Cake .. which is my favorite kind of cake.. ooh it was so delicious. Okay.

Talk to you guys soon ;)

Some stupid ignorant person posted this in my xanga.
What the fuck? Who the fuck is this?

I thought all of this stupid high school bullshit was over with.
I'm like, where do you get off, coming into my personal journal, & slandering me!

It just pisses me off because it's like, I don't even know you.. & out of the freaking blue, she posts this bullshit to me.. WHAT DID I EVEN DO TO HER?!?!

God, I hate people like this.
They get off on making other people feel bad.

& I posted something civil to her:

Holy crap, who the hell are you?
& Why all the stupid bullshit that you posted in my journal?
What are you, like 12?

I really don't appreciate you coming into my journal & slandering me.
I would like it if you kept your close minded opinions to yourself.

You don't know me & don't know anything about me.

I could have been a lot meaner, but what would that prove?
Nothing because I'm obviously better than she is.

UGH!
Fucking idiot.

"There are times when even the best of us have a fear of commitment. And, we may be surprised about the commitments that we let slip out of our grasps. Commitments are complicated, we may surprise ourselves by the committments we are willing to make. True commitment requires effort and sacrifice, which is why we have to choose our commitments very carefully." -Meredith, Grey's Anatomy

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 02:20:07 GMT

More about my class:

Last week I had them write a poem.. like a name poem, but more like (I'll post mine.. lol)
Anastasia
It means creative, friendly, and smart,
It is the number 9,
It is like the ocean during the day,
It is Christmas on the ranch,
It is the memory of my mom,
who taught me manners & respect,
When I was growing up,
My name is Anastasia,
It means working hard to achieve your dreams.

It's like you fill in each part that is you. They did really good. I was actually, (this is sad) surprised, that they did so good. Haha. In the book it was like, write a poem about the wind.. & I was like, uh yeah right.. so I had them do this poem instead. I think I'm going to find out if I can have them put up in the library. I think that they will get a big kick out of that. :)

I think that I might have them write another poem.. & the next thing we are going to work on is a nonfiction piece.. hopefully they will have an easier time with that than they do with fiction, well, I guess they aren't that bad.. haha

part two

we were supposed to go to Maui this weekend, but the tickets were like $100.. & that's a lot for like 20 minutes of airtime.. boo, maybe we can go again some other time..

My Aunt Jeanette & my cousin Niki are there, that's why were were going to visit.

I'm almost kinda done with my scrapbook from my trip.
We were working on it last night, as mentioned, & having Mojitos (I think I left that part out) & my dad was getting rowdy.. lol.. & he spilt a glass of it (not even his!) & it soaked some of my pictures, so I was bummed about that.. but it's okay, because they were just printed on the computer, & I can print some more, but because of that, I am not done!

I have two pages that I really really like. Maybe I should post them.
But it's so hard to post something.
If only I could figure out how to use that lj scrapbook thingie.
we'll see.

Genny had this little die cutter, that had really cute letters. I think we might work on scrapbooks again soon, I'd like to use those letters again.

OOh, the other week, I went shopping.. lol.. & I got a super cute black polka dotted shirt.. & a jean skirt with black lace on the bottom.. I like it.. I think the shirt would look cute with red shoes.. haha.. that whole black, white, red thing is really in.. it's like in every single one of the stores at the mall.. but I like it.

The cake (round 3) had 3 tiers. & 5 different flavors of Chocolate! We are having a poll to determine which flavor tastes better. I'm going to be all chocolated out. The filling was raspberry (what Corey wants) & it had almond buttercream frosting & fondant.

Corey said that the weather has been really bad on the east coast..
That sucks. :(

Work tomorrow. I'm lazy. I've been off work for 4 days. Hahaha.
But it will be good. We are going to start this new program tomorrow.
I get my two lowlow guys every morning for 45 minutes. We are working on phonics.. & last Wednesday I got really excited because I found all of these lesson plans & websites that I think are going to be really helpful in teaching them how to read. Well, only one can't read. The other one doesn't understand what he is reading. What a challenge!

& then for the second 45 minute block of Language Arts, I'm going to go to the class that I usually go to on each day & work with the other low students, or just whoever needs help.

Then at math, I will continue in that class, that I was in before.

& on Wednesday, I'll have all of the other students who are in my class.. & we will work on the sourcebook (which is kinda like a workbook for reading & learning to write) for the two 45 minute blocks. & then at Math that day, I guess, I will wait to be reassigned.

I think that this is going to work better. Because my low guys really need extra help & they weren't getting it.. & when they were in my other class, they were like really behind, & didn't get it.. & I couldn't focus on them. So this will be better.

& I got one new student last week. So I'm still getting him into it.

My dad & Bill (his friend that's staying here) are watching the football game.. (Chicago & NYgiants) & I think that its hilarious that there is SNOW on the field!! Weird.

OOh, yesterday we also made some favors. They are a mix of dark, milk, & white chocolate m&ms in a organza bag with a teal sparkly flower (3 of them) attached to it. We made 26 & now we need to think of something else to make. Any suggestions??

Okay, I'm going to go for real this time. Haha. Or until I think of something else. HAHA.

rambling update

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 01:55:48 GMT

It's been a long time.

Gah, where do I even start?!?

Well, like last week, Wendy got in a car accident, with our car. & I guess it was hit so hard that our insurance company said that it's not even worth it to fix it. So even if I wanted to drive, haha, I can't, because no more car.. kinda sucks for when the wedding comes around & everything, because I dunno what we are going to do with one less car.. hmm.. I guess we will see..

I know I had like 50 things to write about. & so I can't think of a single thing, when I actually get down to writing.

OOOh.. on Thursday, we went to the Trump Tower Waikiki picking party.. because my Dad & one of his friends (& that guys investment partners) went in on a deal to buy, not one but two!! rooms at the Tower. So that was pretty fun. We got interviewed by Cedric Moon, mom & I did, but it wasn't on tape.. he was going to put my dad on the news, but they took so long fixing the papers, that he had to go. Oh well.. But they put my dad's name on the news! I'll just say that the cost of both of the rooms was a nice heavy 2.2 million dollars.. HAHAHA. Gah, if I can like just imagine touching that much. Hopefully when the tower gets finished in 2009, I can stay in it, for like one night.. that's all I want, one night.. haha.. OOH & like this is cool, but Ivanka Trump picked before us! Well, it wasn't her, it was a spokesperson for her.. but totally cool.. Her room is on the same floor as ours, 4 doors down.. Yeah, what? I am so cool! (Corey said I was a snob, but I'm a cool snob!!)

Hmm.. the only bad thing was that it lasted forever. because the guys messed up my dad's paperwork.. & no one came to find us.. but yeah.. they also gave us a Tiffanys key chain.. so I got to walk around with a Tiffany's bag, & pretend that it was something else.. hahaha..

The night before last night, Christine came home!!

Corey & I were fighting.. :( But it's all worked out now.. he just.. we just.. have communication issues.. I might write about that later..

But then Christine came over & then we met up wtih April & Genny.. & the four of us went down to the Hideaway Club.. to have some drinks & just dance & hang out.. that was fun.. There was this guy there, he was.. 40?? & He thought Christine was the prettiest girl ever.. haha.. so I totally egged him on, but only as a joke.. & there was a nice Navy Pilot, who liked Genny.. I talked to him a bit about Corey.. He asked me what my husband did.. hehehehe.. but yeah..

& then last night, they came over & we stamped a bit.. & mom did Round 3 of the cake.. the prettiest yet.. & best tasting.. & April discovered her hidden talent for cake decorating! :)

& then today.. nothing.. I'm just bleh.. I have to do some chores.. & see what else wedding stuff needs to be done.. I was working on the new neopets plot this morning.. lol.. :)

OOh, I guess last week, we went to Mom's craft fair.. she did good & made about $300. I got this really cool notebook.. it is so pretty.. maybe a picture will come later.. & then we went & hung out with Shirley, who works with us.. & I got to meet her kids, Effie & Junie.. & we had a lot of fun with them.. they were so cute! & Effie wrote me a letter, so now we are kinda pen pals.. I might babysit them some night.. Their house is so nice.. I want to have one that looks like it.. haha.. :) They even have a window seat!

Hmm.. I'm so interesting.. I got my nails done last week.. like a manicure, & it was great.. but it's sucky right now, because I'm having cravings to bite my nails & I totally messed up the paint on one of them.. go figure.. I think I might just buy the color, if I can find it.. because it's really pretty, but subtle.. it's like a dusty rose with sparkles, but they are more like shimmers.. it's by OPI. Mom & I might go & get a pedicure some time this week.. maybe.

Dad's friend is visiting.. He's really nice.. but he's sleeping in my room, so I have to sleep on the couch!! & that's no fun when you have a cold.. it's kinda.. getting better.. kinda..

Next Friday is Bachelorette Party #1.. in attendance: Arlene, April, Genny, Christine, & I (I think).. we'll see how it goes.. all I know about is.. that I get to wear a shirt(?) that they made & we are going to be at Mooses for a little while.. haha.. Mooses.

Anyways, I gotta go now.. maybe I should work on getting dressed. It's like 4:00 p.m. & I am still in my pjs.. that's fabulous.

Brand New Owns You

Sat, 21 Oct 2006 21:57:34 GMT

I just have to say that the new Brand New song that is up on myspace.. owns my soul .. I've listened to it on repeat.. ooh, say, 6 times so far.. the music is so beautifuly Brand New.. it's amazing.. it's like Deja Entendu, with the music, & Jesse Lacey's voice just dripping off of your skin. Is he beautiful or what?

I'm going to preorder the album on their merch page. It's only $12.50 [& shipping like $3.00] & It comes with a single that won't be released anywhere else..

& I feel like I owe it to them, they have changed my life, made it so so so much better, & I don't even like own a real copy of their album.. mine are all burned..

Anyways, the new album is out in a month, November 21, 2006 .. Gah, I love them [7 times] so much.. the music is just.. so beautiful.. it puts me into this trance..

& Corey & I were fighting this morning.. & it sucked sucked sucked ass

But this music.. it just helps me realize, everything is okay.

Listen to the song on myspace... it's called Sowing Season (Yeah) .. it's so beautiful..

Anyways, off to the beach. I'm sad because I don't have an mp3 of this song yet.. so I can't take it with me.. maybe if I listen to it 3 more times, it will get totally stuck in my head.. finally a song that I want to get stuck in my head ..

More later. listen. ♥

long week & short update

Sat, 21 Oct 2006 03:53:46 GMT

Sorry about the lack of updates this past week.. I've just kinda been out of it.. haven't even really got on the computer until today.

Hmm.. Wendy & I are going to this "gettogether" at a coworker's of her's house.. she said it was like.. kinda pampered chef, kinda mary kay & kinda the kind of party that you see in Family Cirlcle, ie, chocolate eyeballs, mummied burritos, spider cupcakes, you know the kind.. so I'm pretty curious about it all.. then later we might hook up with Genny, Arlene & April.. & have some night life.. haven't gone out for a while.

I hope to have all of my invites done by this weekend.. my parents want them to be sent out in the mail by Monday.. I've just been.. so lazy.. haha..

This week was pretty long & tiring..

I have this one student, & he's in 5th grade but he reads on a kindergarten/first grade level!! it's really frustrating.. On Wednesdays, I usually have my group of 9 students, but he's so far behind that the other kids get frustrated with him! But today, I was working on phonics with him.. & I was pretty excited because he remembered what vowels were!! VOWELS! Omg, don't you know that by the time you are in 5th grade.. He recited them all to me.. & then he recited "Georgie Porgie" to me & his teacher, so that was really good.. it means that he has at least a little retention! Gah, finally after, what 6 years he is retaining something.. amazing.. Maybe he'll be up to at least 2nd or 3rd grade by the end of the year.. we'll see..

It's just amazing what the kids don't know.. we were reading a story about Japanese-American Internment Camps & they only knew about the war & about the US bombing Japan.. it's like they didn't know anything about that.. & I'm trying to explain, but I'm just the reading teacher & not a history teacher so I dunno how well I did.. At least on Thursday, I got a lot of them writing quietly, & actually writing quality work!! We are writing about How the Zebra got it's Stripes .. I wrote the prompt, & then they wrote how it actually happened.. & the stuff I got back wasn't that bad.. oil was a very popular way.. haha..

I found out today that another one of my friends is going to come to the wedding! That makes me really excited.. I will be so happy if I have lots of people who love me around. I feel like, more people, less stressful because I just want to enjoy their company, & what's the point of getting all upset about little things.. I think it's going to be fabulous!

Well, I guess I don't really have anything else to write about.. hopefully I'll have a better update this weekend.. about tonight!! Haha.. & when I am not lazy I will post the wedding cake pictures.. I think by this weekend, we should have a round three!

Anyways, I hope all of you are doing good!! :) I'll catch up on back posts & comment when I get a chance ♥

Wed, 11 Oct 2006 07:01:37 GMT

WOW I must be a rocket scientist or something.. because I just figured out that when you are going to post a comment to someone, you can hit the "browse" button & all of your icons will pop up, & you can look at them all, I guess if you forget what one looks like.

Gah, please tell me that someone else didn't know this too so I don't feel like a totally dorkass. LOL..

HAHA

NOTE: you can even browse on your update page. Gah have I been sleepwalking through LJ? HAHA

Chaperone!!

Wed, 11 Oct 2006 06:36:46 GMT

Today we went on a field trip. I was in charge of 13 10 year olds! Haha, but they were pretty good for me. They just got a little rambuncious towards the end of the day, but who can really blame them? They listened to people talk all day. We went to the Academy of Arts for the Colonial America exibit. It's cool. The kids are able to dress up in period clothing & play on a real loom & check out Colonial art. & most of these kids, well, they don't know anything about Colonial America & some of them have no concept of it. So these kinds of exibits are really good for them. The tour guide asked my group, "Can anyone tell me what the Mayflower is?" & one of the kids answered, "The boat Christopher Columbus sailed on." I was like.. uh.. Hopefully when we get into the Colonial America part in history, they will have a better understanding of this time period. We are thinking about making butter with them in a can & maybe baking bread. I think that they would really get a kick out of that.

Then we went to Kapiolani Medical Center. It was cool. I had never been in that hospital before. We were able to go to the Nursery & look at the new babies. Gah, they were so precious!! Made me kinda want one! LOL. We also got to tour the Radiology rooms & the Emergency rooms. The kids got a big kick out of that.

After we got home from school, my mom & I tested out the fondant. It's pretty cool to work with, & it feels good in my hands.. but it tastes so BAD!! Like.. kinda rubbery! Too bad that it looks sooo pretty on the cake, but then doesn't taste good. So we probably won't use it on my wedding cake. Oh well, I'm sure that we will figure out something. Speaking of figuring out stuff, I wish I could figure out how to post a picture. Then I will be able to post a picture of the cake we made this afternoon. I think that it looked pretty good! :)

& Of course, it was Tuesday & that means it's VERONICA MARS day!! & I watched it, but I'm pretty sure that I am going to have to watch it again tomorrow, because I really feel like I missed a big chunk of it.. haha.. pretty much the whole Keith/Kendall/Liam & his brother thing.. but I guess we will see.

& Gilmore Girls is almost disapointing now.. kinda predictable.. & not as funny or sweet as it used to be. I dunno what market they are trying to hook; hopefully it's at least working for them.

I am so sad when they keep playing the commerical for CSI on Thursday! My [guiltypleasure] Greggy [Sanders] is going to get captured or hurt!! I feel so sad!! I am nervous about watching because I feel like something bad is going to happen to him. Haha. How silly. But I guess, I care about him!! :) Awh, he's so cute!

Ooh yeah & Corey got a roommate today. He was waiting for the cable guy to show & instead a new roommate appeared! Hah, apparently the roomie is from Texas & "married" but Corey acted like something about that was weird or like suspicious. LOL. But anyways, tomorrow, Corey is going to get internet & cable! Maybe now it will be easier to talk to him.. maybe.. But Corey said that his roommate might move out, so I dunno what's going to happen. I personally think that Corey needs to be around people.. & he just sits in his room all day & doesn't really talk to anyone out of class. I think that would make me more depressed.

I told him today that I was glad because maybe he was going to make a friend. & he said "You're my best friend, I don't need anyone else." & I told him that I was very flattered, but he needed someone to be around him when I couldn't, ie now. So maybe he'll start talking to some people. He basically made it seem like it wasn't worth it to make friends when he was only going to be there 7 months. I guess we are different that way.. I think that friends would make the time go faster because you are doing something rather than just sitting around all the time.

Oh well, we'll see what happens. Maybe he'll take what I said to heart.
Anyways, I'm probably going to be going to bed soon.
I've been really tired.
I'll try to post the pictures soon.

whoohoo

The Maid of Honor
Deliberate Gentle Love Master (DGLMf)

Appreciated for your kindness and envied for all your experience, you are The Maid of Honor.

Charismatic, affectionate, and terrific in relationships, you are what many guys would call a "perfect catch"--and you probably have many admirers, each wishing to capture your long-term love. You're careful, extra careful, because the last thing you want is to hurt anyone. Especially some poor boy whose only crime was liking you.

Your exact opposite:
Half-cocked

Random Brutal Sex Dreamer

We've deduced you're fully capable of a dirty fling, but you do feel that post-coital attachment after hooking up. So, conscientious person that you are, you do your best to reserve physical affection for those you respect...so you can respect yourself.

Your biggest negative is the byproduct of your careful nature: indecision. You're just as slow rejecting someone as you are accepting them.

ALWAYS AVOID: The False Messiah, The 5-Night Stand, The Vapor Trail, The Bachelor

CONSIDER: The Gentleman, someone just like you.

hoodie

Sat, 07 Oct 2006 03:03:06 GMT

I am crazy.

I love those hoodies that you can get, that says, "MRS. whatever" or "FUTURE MRS. whatever" .. & so I have been shopping around for one, just kinda looking at the websites..

& most of them are between $45 - $65 (& sometimes even higher!)

So I went to neighborhoodies (everyone knows I've been wanting a neighborhoodie for-ev-er.. think back.. black sweatshirt, hot pink writing, "makakilo girl", pink star/or skull & cross bones.. ahh.. that sounds soo great) anyways, back on topic..

I went to the order page & put in all of the stuff:

Black jacket with Teal writing (wedding colors)
MRS. THOMPSON in cursive writing
a big Teal star above that.
Stiched letters (because that just looks sooo nice)

& it came out to $56 ..
So that's not too bad right, that's the going price right?

Oooh it's beautiful, but should I really be spending money? I think I should be able to add it into my wedding fund right? Haha.. Oooh it's so nice.. & I get paid on October 20th.. am I really going to need to spend that much money before now & then? Besides StalkerMae, but I gave my mom $250 for that..

I guess it's really not.. that nessisary..

Maybe I should just wait.. at least until over the weekend, the I can better assess my money & what I'm going to need it for..

& I'll remember what the um.. stuff I want is.. yeah, that should be okay..

Grr, I totally just talked myself out of it.. well, I still want it, but I'm going to wait. Ah.. let's see how long this lasts!
