Presidential Debate #1

Luckily, right after my class that ended at 5:45, the teacher who taught the class after (a class that I am not in) decided to show his students the Presidential Debate during the whole class. Mehgan was in the class, so she sat next to me, while Jonathan was sitting on my left. It was an interesting experience being in the 500 person lecture hall and the giant overhead screen projecting the debate on msnbc. Anyway, if you know Santa Cruz, it's full of liberals. That is a problem for me because I grew up in a conservative home, with a conservative mother and a hardcore conservative grandfather. My grandpa was a politician himself. But anywayyy.. because of that, I am strongly beginning to become a conservative myself. I think the debate tonight was alright. Bush could have done better, but I think both candidates did a great job with defending themselves. I just wish some of the people.. or actually, most of the people, knew proper etiquette. Screaming profanities at the screen doesn't do anything people.. you just look like more of a dumb ass. I didn't appreciate when I was trying to listen to Bush talk, a student would yell out "Shut the F up Bush" or "You're a Jackass". That's another reason I like conservatives, they don't act like wild crazy animals! Ok ok.. this is getting a little boring now. I'm no hardcore republican or anything, I just believe in a lot that party believes in, and I think Bush is a good president. If you disagree, just shut your mouth, because knowing you liberals, you'll probably say something filled with a whole bunch of cuss words. Unless you have something positive to say about Kerry. I'm sick of those people who say that they're voting for Kerry because Bush is dumb. First of all, I don't care if you think Bush is dumb, and second of all, if you really had that much confidence in the person you were voting for, you would have AT LEAST one good thing to say about them! Ok I'm getting carried away now. Sorry.. I'm just really into this year's Presidential Campaign. So again, I don't need your opinion if you're just gonna be mean! Ok bye my readers, you obviously care about what I have to say if you're still reading this.. har har har!

Oh yeah! Something random.. I brought Jonathan with me to Santa Cruz today because I got an e-mail from our FSA and it said Jasmine Trias from American Idol was gonna be at the Fall reception.. So of course the bf and I wanted to see her. But we fell for their trick to try and get more people to go! Good job to whoever thought that up! I should have remembered the fact that American Idol 3 people are on TOUR right now, so there is no way she could have been there at UCSC anyway! Ok that's it.

unsober lisa = freakin annoying!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot to talk about my weekend. But it was a lot of hanging out at Michael's house.. well just 2 days in a row.. and being surrounded by drunk people! But the title of this entry says it all... my goodness, I wanted to hide her in a box until everything was out of her system, and I am SO serious! haha.. dont worry Lisa, you're still my best friend and all, but you're sooo freakin annoying! I also went on a shopping spree by myself and then with Lisa.. um, I worked. And today, I drove to DeAnza and UCSC while Jonathan was the passenger! I'm almost ready for school..

Summer is FINALLY ending...

I feel like this summer has been wayyyyyyy too long! Well I guess there is no such thing as a "too long" summer.. but I was seriously running out of things to do! I spent SO much quality time with my family, that I am ECSTATIC that I am living at home this year, instead of dorming in Santa Cruz. I also spent a lot of time with people on my priority list. Hansen came home for a whole month.. so I spent a lot of time with him and our asshead, Jeremy. Diana, Lisa, and I have been having wonderful times at the beach- we even recieved "war wounds" and dark backs.. too bad our asses didn't get tan. And who can forget about the 5 year MHT reunion that we planned ourselves last minute.. that was fun. Also, those parties I went to that I paid for the morning after! And that one night in Mariel's car with Dianne, Angela, Michelle, and Mariel of course. I also went to this cool ass Circus, John Mayer concert, Six Flags Marine World, Bonfante Gardens, blah blah blah. Also, there was SUMMER SCHOOL at DeAnza with my Jonathan. That was fun because it was the FIRST time we had class together.. I mean we went to school together for 7 years, but never once did we experience having class together. Also, the countless movies we watched, and my endless shopping sprees that I'd drag him to! A lot of birthdays were celebrated.. so there were a lot of birthday dinners. I got my IPODS and my UGGS! I did a lot of working too, but that was surprisingly fun because I got closer to my co-workers. Well actually, I had Michelle, Diana, James, Joyce, Lisa, and Chris as co-workers with like 1 or 2 people I didn't know previously. Oooh and my late night crepe cravings... and family pictures with both sides of my family. Ok now my grammar and syntax is getting ugly. Basically, this summer was pretty fun and I think the best so far because I was able to see everyone I wanted to see, and do all the things I wanted to do. Now, school at UCSC will begin on thursday, and I have my one class (that is also one day a week) on Friday at DeAnza. Wish me luck on my 2nd year of college folks! It's time to get that GPA up!

I was pretty pissed, but I went out with my best friend Lisa, and things were good. We went to McDonald's, watched "Wicker Park" at the Great Mall movies--great movie by the way, went to Taco Bell to buy drinks, met up with some people at AMPM where they jammed, played with some baby turtles there, then back to Lisa's house where I slept over since she didn't want to drive home alone.

sunday, september 12, 2004
After going to bed around 5am that morning, I woke up around 11am and killed time until Lisa woke up 3 hours later at 2pm. We went to the bank to get money, ate an unhealthy lunch at In N Out, and dropped me off at home. I got ready for work, got a call from the bf, then worked. Afterwards, I visited Jonathan at home where we just talked and stuff.

saturday, august 28, 2004 (continued)
I went to the airport with my family to drop my grandpa off. He wanted to go early because he likes being early for everything, but it was 7pm, and his flight got delayed to 12am instead of 10pm!!! I was sooooooo bored and cranky! But we couldn't leave my papa alone by himself. When he was walking to go... I started to cry my eyes out. Gosh, I'm gonna miss my papa. He won't be back for another 1-3 months! Pray that he comes home to us safely!

Later that night, Lisa and Chris came over to my house, then Jonathan. We lounged around the house for a while and waited for Eileen. Then we all went to Denzil's party. It was pretty fun partying with co-workers. There were so many drunks all over the place! These target workers kept trying to hit on Lisa.. and they were smelly and ugly too! Oh Lisa. I had to watch her the whole night!


ei, me, and lisa in the car after denzil's party

sunday, august 29, 2004

monday, august 30, 2004
I totally forgot what I did. I think Jonathan came over, and all we did was nap and stuff. Later that night we worked out at his work.. haha. Actually, we tried for like 20 minutes then watched TV. Eh well!

tuesday, august 21, 2004
I think my Jonathan had a really long day. He worked from 7-1030, picked me up, eye appt at 11-12. Lisa's house to meet up, Jack in the Box, Boardwalk until 430, home around 530, work from 6-930! That's what he did, I thought that was hectic. But as for me, I woke up early, at like 8am!! I don't know why.. I guess because I went to bed early. Then Jonathan picked me up around 10ish, we got some Jack in the Box for me as brunch, then met up at Lisa's house. After what seemed like 348503945 hours, Jessica, Lisa, Chris, Jonathan, Diana, Villiard, and I were off to the Boardwalk! The waves were soooo big, and Lisa got some "war wounds" from scraping her knee in the sand. But like we said, it was well worth it! Our bathing suits kept slipping off everytime a big wave hit us.. Diana even saw my ass.. Lisa even saw a boob of mine.. haha. But those waves were sooo fun, especially on the boogie board. I'm definitely going to buy one for the beach next week! The only bad thing is that when a wave took me down, my sunglasses got knocked off of my face, then got lost in the water. It's ok though, they were like $10 from Claire's. Afterwards, Jonathan rushed to work, while Lisa, Chris, Jessica, and I laid around on the floor at Lisa's house. When I got home, I got ready for work, then worked! I had the biggest headache though.. so going to bed felt like heaven.. kinda.
