memorial day weekend is almost over, tho here are my highlights, i'll start with the low and end with the highs.

- living at home is still yucky
- i got mistaken for a 15 year old - u see, i was helping this high schooler i mentor take photographs with her friends, and altho they thot i was family ... they thot i was her lil sis!!!
- i ate two days of bbq - and am now rollable - i have become a human boulder

+/- after catchin up with friends and goin to the graduation, i realized, hey, i really haven't changed that much since high school
+/- i did two "sermons" about my summer plans to two churches :) the first one i said tooo many ums, and the second one, well, i started rhymning

+ my sunday school kidz missed me! :)

it's been one crazy week - and i'm SOOOOOOO glad it's almost over :) well, what doesn't kill ya sure makes u stronger :o)

my neck is getting better - i've been sleeping with my arms outstretched over my head and somehow the stretching helps. and i've tried not to spazz out so much

spazz, what a jr high word.

i just watched mean girls - it wasn't like that in my hs - we were a school that prized academics and if u were smart, u were cool - no, mean girls was like how 5th grade was :op and let's just say i was as far away from the plastics as they come :o) man, i'm glad i'm not 10 again :)

some random thots

1. neck hurts :( - time for spa again?

2. just b/c someone like tigger and monkees, and happens to wear t-shirts with them doesn't mean they're 18!

3. speaking at the youth service of another church tomorrow - kinda scared...hope i don't mess up! pray that i sound ok :)

i got into a car accident today.

and am just lucky b/c my car is built like tank and is minimally scratched. but for the impact (the guy slammed into me during a red light, he didn't even brake) i thought the whole back side woulda caved it - u see i'm see quite phobic after a real big accident i had years ago where both sides of the car caved in. that was also while my car was at a standstill but the driver behind me didn't notice.

neck and back real sore - don't know if its just cumulative effects tho

funny thing is i'm trying to downplay this whole thing, went to work, like it was no big deal, but it's real tough i guess. this along with other drama has been hard to shake off.

and besides that, i'm tryin real hard to like boba again and it's not working :(

i never thot this day would come...

i am getting sick of boba :OP

anywayz, during this apolcolyptic discovery - i was watching animatrix finally!!! okay, now i get why they shot down the sun :op

i worked from home today :) and wrote a lot...

but i had two weird dreams
1. i had a pet cat that i named sandy, that when i petted it, it changed colors - ok that was the cute one
2. battle royale creeped into my dreams - parents from all over dropped their kids off in a shantytown - then were equipped with poisonous darts, and well the rest is battle royale history...

btw, i had a weird, weird as in bad weekend - something straight out of a movie - one funeral and two weddings - and i found out i was related to one of the grooms, i'm his aunt :op and he's older than me!

have a front page story tomorrow :0)

2 funny stories to tell:

1. while writing the front pager - told this high schooler i'm mentoring that my brain felt like it was going to explode -she told me - i hope it doesn't, that would be detrimental to your story!

2. so i have this squishy stress toy at work - it's a Cal bear, dressed in a suit, holding a book and wearing glasses :0) cute lil guy
- but you see i ate lunch real late today (3 pm!) b/c i was working so hard, so i was a bit shaky
- anywayz, due to my shakiness with my lunch box, mr. cal bear fell into my lunch :(
- he fell into fried tofu and got real oily
- first i panicked and rubbed it off on my chair
- he was stlll oily and smelled like tofu
= you see we have rats at work, it's real gross, actualy, it used to be so bad, they would fall out of the ceiling, anyways, i was afraid, if i left mr. bear all oily, some rat would smell his now tofu-dom and eat his head off
- so i rushed to the bathroom holding him
- very embarrassed that i was holding a bear! so i ran
- unfortunately i ran into another reporter! yikes, kinda flew through the conversation real fast, so she wouldn't see me holding a bear - hope she didnt' think i was blowing her off
- then, i went into the bathroom, but i saw another person i knew! sheepishly, i had to tell her, that mr. bear fell in my lunch and i was washing him off
- she chuckles, and leaves
- i think she's going out with one of my bosses, hope she doesn't tell him that she saw me washing a bear in the bathroom!
- then i wash him off, no one is there :)
- then, i feel a real urgency to pee, so i go in the stall
- but i leave the bear outside, cuz that's alil weird to bring him in with me
- but i set him where i can spy on him through a crack, cuz i dont' want anyone to take him, he's too cute
- i figure if anyone takes him, i can yell out - stop! that's my bear!
- so i go in, set him out, and peek through
- another person comes out, then my lookout is covered! hope she isn't tempted by his cuteness - then i would have to rush out and that's embarrassing!
- but i rush out anywayz, and he's safe
- then i run to my desk
- he's clean :)
- i set him on my newly gotten uc davis candy jar :)
- all is well in the world again!

i just went out and conquered a fear :/ something happened quite a while back and I went back and tried to make it right - to tell you the truth, it didn't make me fearless, no i just feel dumb now, b/c it cuda happened again - o well, actually two fears down, few more to go

it's been a tough couple of weeks - so i tried burying myself into work again - so now i'm fully buried personally and professionally.

but i just saw TROY - and it was good :) not as good as Gladiator, but worth the 9 bucks kinda good. (tho i saw it for free, i know, i'm a stinker) i took this high schooler who's shadowing me there, i really hope he got home safe, i forgot to ask. truthfully, i had to ask him for directions there :op - not good at the whole kid thing, just killed a plant, b/c i forgot to water it for a weekend. imagine if that was a kid!

other highlights - saw the movie Saved! i recommend it :) and interviewed Jena and Macaulay - they were really cool - learned that Macaulay soaks in his tub for 6-8 hours a day!

other news, went to judge a student film festival in davis with angry azn man - they didn't feed us, but at the end (after azn man's eyeballs froze from the cold and my tummy died from hunger) they offered dinner and put us on a guestlist for a party - man, the good ole college days! too bad we are now old fogeys and had to return back to workland! tho i wonder what a party in davis would be like!

also saw van helsing --- why in the world do vampires reproduce through goopy pods???? and why is frankenstein involved? questions i'm afraid that will never be answered :/

anyways, here's to mondays!

"It is the chiefest point of happiness that a man is willing to be what he is."

You are Desiderius Erasmus! You have great love for others and will do just about anything to show it to them. You are tolerant and avoid confrontations, so people generally are drawn to you. You are more quiet and reserved in front of strangers, but around some people you open up. When things get tough, you like to meditate alone. Unfortunately you often get things like "what a pansy," or "you're such a liberal."

What theologian are you?
