    <content type="html">&lt;strong&gt;or should i say manic tuesday? it just doesn't sound as good. i've been having feelings of extreme bursts of happiness and at peace with the situation, and at other times i feel agnsty and very uneasy. i really always envisioned myself as single when i think about myself, but somehow am always caught up in long term realationships. it seems like for once, i am becoming very guarded (though some past lovers would say i have always kept my guard up),&amp;nbsp;to the dating world. i've gone out on several 'dates' and met some awesome new people since the last breakup.... which was really not all that long ago. about a month when i think of it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i'm having somewhat of a pre-midlife crisis. angsty about everything. feeling like i want more, and not having enough. feeling like at 25&amp;nbsp;i need to figure out&amp;nbsp; who, where, and what makes me happy. sometimes i feel like i know, but it is just a temporary fix. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;all i do really know is that i seem to refind myself after every major breakup exploring, relaxing, and living in europe. spain in one week. my mind is already there and my body will follow soon. &lt;/strong&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">is necessary in every situation. it might be about 8 months late, but we did resolve our issues, even if it was later than i had expected. she is now gone, and that may be for the better. our longer lived friendship was much better than our brief venture into dating. too much confusion, misunderstandings, panic attacks and motion sickness for me to handle in a partner. i am glad that we talked and voiced our problems with each other and the situation, and can finally say i can listen to sade on the radio without having to change it. now i can sit back, drive, and smile. she is an excellent memory.</content>

    <content type="html">such a long time, i had to come back and reserect my livejournal. it was such a good outlet, that i think i need it back. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;such a shitty way to start my day off. my unsignificant/significant other borrowed my car while i showered, and managed to get my car impounded. i was unaware that his license was suspended for not paying off a ticket. if i had know, i obviously would not have let him use my car. to make matters worse, when i called the sdpd, the told me there was a hold on it for 30 days. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and the kicker, he is broke as hell, of course. for some reason i keep getting suckered into the 'artistic' type as my mom says. with good heart, but little realistic goals in life. so i am sure, i will be forced to use the money that i have been saving to move to spain on something that i had nothing to do with. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i sure hope the week gets better than this.</content>

    <content type="html">"your family is the only one that you can really count on to be there for you, that is something that you have learned at a young age, and something that your aunt domi still hasn't learned... "     -my mother.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on the 29th, thomas took me out for my pre-birthday birthday. it was a surprise, and as we drove and walked closer and closer to the destination, i figured it out. it was a dinner cruise along the harbor. it was very nice, the food and everything was really good. they even had a vegetarian option. everyone was dressed up, while i was wearing my jacks. heh, oh well. there was a danse floor in the middle of the dinning area with a dj that serenaded us with classic hits from micheal bolton to sade. then, to get the party going 'milkshake' and 50 cent were popular ones among the young crowd, even though the elders still tried to shake it on the danse floor. it was really nice, and something that i will defiantly remember. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as for the day of my birthday, booze and casinos was the plan, but somehow it turned into only casinos. we decided to have dinner and gamble at barona's. only to find out later that they do not serve alcohol, due to the crazy fucking road you have to take to get there. my birthday was just like every other birthday, full of fucking let downs. i made the most of it, after learning that my 'best friends' weren't going to make it to dinner nor the casino. almost all of my family was there, and so was thomas and aaron. we ate some good ass food, and gambled the night away. it was my first time gambling, so i stuck to the slot machines. by the end of the night, i came up 20 bucks. my mother and grandmother were hell bent on buying me my first legal drink, so on the way home we stopped by dave and busters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;elise gave me free magic mountain tickets that had to be used by the 31st, and luckily, i was off the 31st. i knew bill was off, so i picked him up and we spent our new years eve there. we stopped at wheel of life, and he got to meet mr. vegan himself. (the owner) they have the best vegan food that i have ever had. it rained the entire drive up there, we were thinking that we were going to have to buy ponchos to make it work, but it cleared up right when we got there. because of the rain, there was only about 200 people total throughout the park. we never had to wait for any ride, we just ran from one ride to the other. we did everything in about 5 hours, but stayed until the park closed to keep riding. we got back to my house around 11:45pm, colin, ashley, aaron, elise, bill, and drank and waiting for the ball to drop. at midnight, there were so many shotguns going off in my neighborhood, it was unreal. i went to bed kind of early because i had to work the next day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;last night, elise and i ate at spaghetti factory because it was their last night open. yes, the good ol factory is closing down. we ate some good ass food, and on our way back to the car, we saw this girl with one of their purple victorian couches outside. she told us to take the couch, and she would wait for us while we went back to get our car. the whole time this event was happening, there was a news broadcaster filming a piece on the factory, and we were in the backround trying to steal a couch. i pulled my car up, we tried so hard to fit it in, but to no avail. i took elise's keys and was on my way to get her car. about five minutes later, i got a phone call from her saying that the manager took the couch back. at least we tried! no purple couch for us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today it's olive garden and a series of unfortunate events.</content>

WAMU is definitely going to give me a taking-to. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my birthday is coming up, i am going to be 21. and it couldn't have come at a better time. booze and casino's here i come! i don't have any plans as of yet, so if you have an idea of something fun and exciting, speak up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my room mate and i are on this kick, that we are going to make it fucking big in MTV land and never have to work again. since we are two, reasonably attractive girls, i am sure we can break through... as long as our video involves sex, booze and rock &amp; roll we will be on the right track. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;work has been crazy, i switched departments yet again. what a fucking surprise, i know. this time, it seems to be in my favor. i got a dollar raise and now work designing kitchens. i still get my month of june off to go to europe. i am buying my tickets and renewing my passport in january. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it's cold in my house. i either need another comforter (that would make five total on my bed) or someone to share my bed with.</content>

    <content type="html">i found a dog in the middle of the street, a couple blocks away from my house. it was around these two mexican boys, and would not move out of the street. i put my hazards on, and convinced the two boys to help me get the dog into my car. they said it had been following them for about an hour, and by the looks and actions of the dog, it had been abandoned. he is white and looks like he might be a corgie. he looks like falcore, the flying dog in the never ending story, so that is his new name. except i call him valcore, with a v instead of with a f... don't ask me why. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after helping me get the dog in the car, the fourteen year old mexican boys asked me for a ride. i asked them what they were doing, their age, and what they do for fun. they said they were just coming from a party and needed a ride to spring valley. i don't know how/why i get myself into these situations, but what the hell. i decided to drive them to spring valley. ashley, elise, joel, and i spent the rest of the night watching saved and trying to figure out what the fuck we were going to do with this dog. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on tuesday night, it was thanksgiving dinner at joel's house. some girl made a bunch of home cooked food, and the only thing i could eat was mashed potatoes. we sat around drinking spiced pepsi and making dirty jokes while joel's father was lurking in the next room. i really don't know what to do with valcore, because i know we can't keep him. we already have a dog, and she is not fixed. neither is valcore. so they are going to fuck and make all kinds of crazy babies. so if anyone wants a dog, or knows someone who wants one, contact me and i will make arrangements for you to see him. he is really nice and sweet, and really needs a good home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thomas painted a picture of me today. it kinda looks like me but with like spiders all over. i think i am going to get a crazy frame and hang it up somewhere. we went out to dinner tonight with his father and elise. spegetti facory = yum. we don't hang out as much as we used to, i am just trying to get my head on straight and figure out what is going on. i know it will happen soon, i just have to give it time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in other news, i am having a pirate party at my house on december the 3rd. shipley and i are hosting, and everyone has to come dressed up like a pirate. we are going all out and decorating and everything. if you need my address and directions, email me at ignore_the_machine@sbcglobal.net or call me.</content>

    <content type="html">karina and i make our way to the danse floor while lesbians on ecstasy were playing, and started dansing with anyone we found that we found shaking their ass, and that was hot. we had the most amazing conversation with this random girl...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;girl- "are you two lesbians?"&lt;br /&gt;us- "yea... are you?"&lt;br /&gt;girl- "no, but i LOVE lesbians," and starts to danse with us. &lt;br /&gt;us- laughing our balls off. &lt;br /&gt;girl- "are you two into threesomes?"&lt;br /&gt;us- "uhhh. sure."&lt;br /&gt;girl- "good... i'm on ecstasy, and this is my friend, and we should all meet up. oh my god, it is soooo hot. WATER!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and as quick as she came, she was gone, to try and find some water. we dansed away, a little scared and confused by what just happened. after that we went to the side of soma, and that's where we remained the rest of the show. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the show was good, but they played everything from their new album, which is not very good. there are like 3 good songs and the others are just blah. but they played well, and we got to see a lot of people that we knew. karina vagina is an awesome danse partner. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;just rememeber kids:&lt;br /&gt;there is no sitting in your car waiting until the show starts! a security guard in a yellow jacket will assure you of that.</content>

    <content type="html">i was missing from the online world for about a week or so due to computer problems. it's always something. maybe i am just not meant to be online? hah. i called a computer repair place and they fixed the problem, cleaned my files up, and installed new programs to fight viruses and pop up problems. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as we all know, bush was re-elected. my mom is going to have an emotional breakdown, i called her this morning when it was announced, and she was crying uncontrollably. my whole family voted for kerry, my mom stated the other day that this country will go to hell in a hand basket if bush gets re-elected. we probably will, but there is pretty much nothing we can do to stop it now. i did my part, so did my friends and family. but there were so many others who didn't do a damn thing, and now it's over. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i had a halloween party. though there wasn't very many people there, everyone that i did invite was there. that was just how i wanted it... well, everyone except ashley. ashley is my cousin who recently moved from palm springs. we had a very close upbringing and now that she is here, i see her almost everyday. she ended up going to see her boyfriend that weekend... it's ok. we had fun without her anyways. the guest list went a little something like this: colin, shipley, karina, paul, karen, jaime, raquel, and of course my room mate and i. we stayed up until around 4 am, singing theme songs from fresh prince and screaming the entire tenacious d album and the top of our lungs. good times. (don't worry karen, i will burn you a copy and next time you can scream along.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thomas and i decided to take my 13 year old brother out on halloween. we all dressed up, or kind of did, went to peter piper pizza. we ate and played air hockey and sky ball until we ran out of money. we went back to the eastlake area to trick-or-treat. i think americans are getting lazier over the years. i remember every house having some sort of decorations, or at the least, giving out candy. this year, maybe about 15 out of 40 houses were passing out candy. fucking lame. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and to sum up the rest of my week-&lt;br /&gt;work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tonight should be fun though. jaime is coming over after i get off, and we all might make our way to drive in to see saw. everyone is invited.</content>

    <content type="html">oh what a fun filled weekend i had. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on friday, shipley and i went to see counterfit. we decided that we were retiring counterfit shows, since we were the oldest 'kids' in the crowd. i swear everyone was at tops 14. the set was shitty, his voice was even shittier, and he is now on heroin. elise and thomas warned me about this, but i did not believe it until i saw him with my own eyes. his hair was very long and matted, his shirts were so big on him because he lost so much weight, and his jeans must now be a size H for heroin. that was by far the most depressing show i have ever been to, and we vowed never to go to another counterfit show again. i don't think i will even miss it, seeing as though we haven't been to one in what seems like a year now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;saturday i worked all day, or so it seemed. i came home and elise and i fucked around the house like crackheads until 4am. but we did manage to clean the house and create a new toilet seat cover. it now has the most amazing picture of gale harold that we have ever seen. there will be pictures, don't you worry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i did not leave the house at all today. it was my day off and i was on a fucking mission to get our house together. my mom came over and together we put in new bathroom tiles, hung up a new towel rack set, and hung up starry night in the kitchen. slowly but surely our house is coming together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now if we can only get our landlord to fix our fence and hang the microwave we will be in great shape. i have friday, saturday, and sunday off. you better believe that we will be having a halloween party. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you are invited. call or email me if you need directions.</content>

    <content type="html">so the store manager came to find me today. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he took me back to his office and asked if i had made a decision on switching departments yet. i told him that i would do it only if i could have the entire month of june off. i also bitched about how i would be making less money in commission, and how i hated to close...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we made this deal:&lt;br /&gt;-i get june off.&lt;br /&gt;-i get a $1 raise. (seeing as though i have only been working here for 5 months, that is fucking amazing) &lt;br /&gt;-the closing shifts will be evenly distributed, leaving me with mostly mids. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i could sell someone the shirt off their own back if there was something in it for me. i am really good at selling my self as a responsible person who cares about the company and moving up... obviously it worked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i fucking rule. the end.</content>

    <content type="html">i woke myself up today at 9:00am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i thought for a while that today was actually tuesday and rushed to check the calender. i worked 5:30am-2:30, and i almost shit myself. that is, until i called my mother to ask what day it was, and she replied wednesday. i have today and tomorrow off so i get to do laundry, make a fire in my amazing fireplace, pay bills, hang out with thomas, and do a whole lot of nothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in other news, i got my haircut. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was getting oh so long, so it need the axe. i got my haircut at this place in pacific beach called paper doll. elise works right by that salon, so i checked it out one day. everyone that works there is punk, so i figured they could do a pretty decent job of cutting hair... and they do. they way she cut my hair last night, possibly the best cut ever. even though it is a little short. i also hung out with karina last night. we got takeout from valentine's and came back to my place to watch mountain loads of queer as folk. fun times. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i really need to do my nails today.</content>

    <content type="html">i sure know how to show lowe's who's the boss....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so the story goes a little something like this:&lt;br /&gt;when i first got hired, i started in the home decor department. for all of you that don't know your way around your local hardware store, it's the blind and wallpaper department. after being there for a couple of months, my manager asked if i would change departments, because they really needed someone in flooring. i said yes, but only because i knew that i would eventually make more money in that department. there are two major differences between working for lowe's and working for home depot, at lowe's you make commission on special order sales and make department bonuses. at home depot you don't make anything over your hourly wage. being that flooring project are higher ticket items, you get more commission off of each order. i have been working in that department for 3 months now, and decor fucking fell apart. so my manager wants me to save the day and go back there to increase sales and decrease mistakes... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i told him i would, but only under one condition... that i get the entire month of june off. i know you are saying to yourself, 'why would anyone need a whole month off?' for only one reason... europe!! this year, i am finally going back. i have my ticket paid for and 1800 bucks spending cash. i need about 1000-2000 more and someone to go with. steve and i talked about it the other night... maybe we will go to spain and never return</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/imonlyindreems/4.jpg"&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;if i look familiar it's because i used to have a livejournal under a different name. it has been over a year since my last post, and with the new life that i have been living i should have a new journal to fit it. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;almost everything has changed since i last posted. i moved from the famous imperial beach apartment into an apartment with my boyfriend, thomas. we lived there for the whole term of our lease, which happens to be one year, and then moved out. he moved back home to save up for a new car. i moved out with a very good friend of mine, who also happens to be thomas's sister, elise. now we have our very own two bedroom, three if you count the computer room, one bath house! we love it more than anything, even if it happens to be on market street...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;i quit the good old orange box (home depot), and started working for the insurance company geico for about a year. i was a sales agent there, set schedule, and made pretty decent money. i grew very bored of being tied to my desk and the phone, and pretty much everyone that i worked with, except for one exception... jerry. he's twenty six and thinks he's an old man already... but we can still rock at sushi deli and secretly listen to whitesnake.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;there was some good that came out of me working there though, i managed to buy a new car. i laid the escort to rest (or in other words... sold it to a family member), and bought a 2004 toyota scion xa. i love my car so much! it's nice to travel and not have to worry about when and where your car is going to break down! thomas and i did take advantage of this, and for our one year anniversary in july, we drove up to washington state for about two weeks. we stayed with my grandmother and with thomas's brother while we were there. we had so much fun and we both know that seattle is where we want to end up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/imonlyindreems/6.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;thomas.&lt;br /&gt;i reread one of my last posts on my old journal and it was so odd to end with thomas. that is where my life now begins... we were just friends in the beginning, as old entries would tell, but then something happened. i figured why not? he was one of the most intriguing persons i had ever met, and would not stop doing nice things, buying me dinner and taking me out until i gave in! we made it official when we went to las vegas on the forth of july, 2003. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/imonlyindreems/8.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am working back in retail again, at lowe's. you guessed it, another home improvement store. the only reason i even considered it, was because they offered to pay me what i was making at geico and that i would make commission. it was also a lot closer. geico was way the fuck in poway and the lowe's was right by my mother's house. so i did it, and i actually take home about $300 more bucks a paycheck than what i made at geico! i know i should go back to school, but there are a lot of things i have been thinking about doing. one of them being to start my own restaurant. my mother is helping me get a business plan together so i can apply for a loan. san diego can use a good late night vegetarian/vegan restaurant. if i can't get the loan, i figure i will move up to washington in about a year. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; i have a baby.&lt;br /&gt;don't worry, it's not the kind of baby you are thinking of. i found her at puppyfind.com. for only $989.00 and two days later i picked her up at the airport. i have been in love with her ever since... she is a little over one year now, and her name is siouxsie. anyone that knows her calls her lulu for short. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/imonlyindreems/5.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;i have pretty much isolated myself from the san diego hardcore scene, i am fed up with just about everyone. everyone who once was is now gone, and all that is left are the newbies. i have a small group of friends which consist of: thomas, elise, shipley, colin, jerry, and my cousin ashley. she recently moved from palm springs and is now staying with my mom until she finds a place. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;i also finished my back tattoo, 5 sessions and $1200 later, i have an octopus wrapping around my back and waist. it looks fabulous, and i wouldn't have gone to anyone else but chris @ master tattoo. he moved and now i have no one else i want to tattoo me! well, maybe nate, he works at master as well and is really good... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/imonlyindreems/7.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;the only other interesting thing that i can think of is my new camera. about two months ago, i bought a canon digital rebel. i also bought an amazing printer to go with it. i needed it, since i don't have access to a dark room anymore, i needed something i can do right from home. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;i have to complete my traffic school, at least i can do it at home and online! el centro cops bite a big one.</content>
