anywayz...went swimming yesterday at eric's new pool...its soooooooooooo nice there...too bad right when we stepped out of the car...the clouds came and it got cold...haha...so tony and i went to hit up the free bbq in oak creek...they had these AWESOME hot dogs...all free all free =)...mm....its like costco hot dogs...but like...bbqed...so it was DELICIOUS...i was a happy happy girl =)...went back to the pool and JANET came...i swear i havent seen her since graduation...she looks good...=) so i finally get in the water...and they decide to leave...such is life

so we head out to bennihana's for $1 sushi and sake bombs...at 4pm...get there...and its CLOSED...damn it...so went to circle k and got myself an icee =)...went back to eric's and chilled...watched like...animal planet or something about this guy that dived 150ft in the ocean to go fight with 6ft long squid...it was tight cuz the squid could change its color from red to white to red to white...so it looks like its flashing =)...and dude...this one octopus was CRAZY...i didnt know they could blend so well...................................yes...

was falling asleep on the hard wood floor...so went home and feel asleep on my carpet...tahaha...woke up showerd...and went to eat korean food...so miss LA when it comes to korean food...anywayz...then headed over to steves and brought the laguna kids to see his new place...but he LEFT WITHOUT ME!...haha...but they were only at spectrum so it was cool

met people up at spectrum and right after we paid the damn cover to get into rock bottom...people show up and say they dont want to go in...so we just chilled there for a lil...jen's OLD ASS cousin bought me a drink for making fun of steve...so that was pretty damn cool =)

then headed back to steves to taint his house with the first tastes of alcohol...took a shot with my new roommates =)...for some reason...it was the most fun ive had in a long time...i dont remember laughing so much...about nothing...for so many hours..."steve...do you have a banana...an edible banana...a yellow banana"..."steve, do you have any juice".............plus jw has to be one of the funniest people when hes messed up..."mexican pussy"...tahahhaha....

anywayz...went pho after...so came back around 4...good times...good times...sorta dont want summer to end now...< sigh > gotta live it up...this could very well be my last "fun" summer...

at work they play KBIG...havent listened to some of these songs in forever...

heres one that got me through some tough times...heehee...

I Will Love Again

Did I ever tell you how you live in me
Every waking moment, even in my dreams
And if all this talk is crazy
And you don't know what I mean
Does it really matter
Just as long as I believe

Chorus:
I will love again
Though my heart is breaking I will love again
Stronger than before
I will love again
Even if it takes a lifetime to get over you
Heaven only knows, I will love again

People never tell you
The way they truly feel
I would die for you gladly
If I knew it was for real
So if all this talk sounds crazy
And the words don't come out right
Does it really matter
If it gets me through this night

Repeat chorus

I I will love again
One day I know, I will love again
You can't stop me from loving again,
breathing again
Feeling again
I know, one day, I'll love again

:: Gina 2:35 PM ::
...

once again...4th of july does not fail =)

woke up a lil early...partly cuz it was soooo damn hot...partly cuz its habit now...helped make 50 kabobs and prepare for the 50+ people that showed up at my house...ate...ate...and then ate more...

went to charles at like 9ish...fireworks were all going off on the drive there...it was awesome...some of them were soooo close...=)...got to charles and they were pretty much done with all the fireworks..charles lied and said it would start at 945...oh well...i got to see 3 big ones though =)

the 2nd to last one...tipped over and instead of going into the air...spread all over the ground...we all screamed and ran...it was hilarious...but not as hilarious as charles headbutting steph...and then a HUGE "boil" formed on his head that expanded and changed shapes...haha

played some taboo, guestures, and mafia...then came home...fun night...without drinking! =) does this mean we're really getting old? haha...

SunkistZ z a n g: shiet did they tell u about me running around like a chicken yesterday

hahahahahahhaa.........

:: Gina 8:18 PM ::
...

hmm...lately ive been hit with these waves of...something...i cant really explain it...its not like im sad...maybe im frustrated or something...cuz i mean...ive been having a good time in general...oh well...im sure this will pass...along with everything else...

the other night i was driving home and there was a spider on my windshield...not just any spider...but a big fatty one...with the big middle...maybe it was a black widow or something...but anywayz...i couldnt tell if it was inside or outside...but i was too scared to move the windshield wiper to check...cuz what if it was inside...then i couldnt sike myself out and just think its on the outside...that was the worst drive home of my life...haha...im pretty sure it was outside...cuz it sorta crawled up and disappeared...but now i keep thinking what if it wasnt...and like...it breeds in my car or some shit...thats just gross...bleh...ugh...<shudder>

the chick im substituting in for at work says she worked here for like...8 or 9 years...i dont know dude...i cant imagine doing this for 9 years...ive been there a week and im sick of it...shes pretty old...grandmother...its sad seeing her...cuz i can tell she was once really pretty...but age...age...<sigh>...but then i guess its a really easy job...just have to find something to keep you occupied...since i finished harry potter...i dont really have anything to do now...

speaking of age...watched t3 yesterday and then went to get some boba...steve didnt want to go to tapioca cuz he said it would be all old people there...so i got something and then met them up at lollicup...like really...the whole group outside was like...17-19 yr olds...damn did we feel old...and they had a dj playing...how werid is that...so where am i suppose to go to meet older people...haha...cuz it seems like people our age are nowhere to be seen...

i was talking to sergio at tapioca and he said that he had a dream...this is kind of crazy...but when i first started working theres...TWO years ago...damn...seems like yesterday...but anywayz...i was trying to find the remix club version of the faith hill song breathe...well anywayz...he said the night before...he heard the song in his dreams...and then the next day i show up in the store...good shit... =)

this is a really long entry...cuz i have to kill time and i already went through a bunch of xangas and friendster is down for maintainance...

havent played majong in TWO days...haha...and i dont think we'll end up playing tonight either...cuz of the baseball game...and then after i think we're heading to dnb...of course...i havent been there in awhile...

beach beach...i havent been to the beach yet...so many chances...but there hasnt been once that i could go yet...<grumble>

damn...time flies...only one more year left of school...kind of freaking out...what am i going to do...there's not even anything that i WANT to do...i mean...things will always fall into place...but like...i just wish i had some direction...i mean...the good part about being a comm major was that it left things open for you to decide what you want to do...but then now...its still very open...theres so much that is possible...theres not even a direction...i have a year to figure out what i want to do...where i want to go...a year to decide the rest of my life...

ideally i know what i want to do...but its not going to make me any money...thats for sure...and that is a problem...not a huge problem...but like really...as much as i can say that im not spoiled...i am...i want to stay in irvine...or some city like irvine...where the murder rate is below 1 a year...and the streets are wide and theres parking...i want to go to movies and eat out...

i feel like i havent accomplished much...i started out ok...but now everyone's kind of caught up to me or passed me...that year that i wasted mattered a lot...it set up the rest of college for me...gave me a different mentality...i know what i have to do next year...let's just hope i have enough will power...self-discipline to finish it all...

as much as it may not seem like it...i like being single...at time...its difficult...im not really over him yet...but i mean...sometimes its like im trying to hold on to the memories more than im holding onto him...i miss how we were together...how easily conversation flowed...flirting...but i know it wasnt meant to be...almost 2 years now since i met him...and the connection just isnt as it should be after so long...really it was my fault for letting it drag on for so long...disillusioned...kept thinking that he would actually give a little...but what we had ended long ago...i cant remember when it was that i was last happy with him...when he last make me happy...or even cared about my happiness for that matter...but...life goes on...

i dont know how much longer im going to be stuck on this one...but this time i dont have anything to overlap with...thank god...no more of that drama...i was reading some past e-mail from "mike"...the one that no one met...i think i really did like him...haha...at least from what i was reading...funny how things like that can fade from memory...he really was the only one that ever made me...giggle...and like...talk excitedly to the girls about him...and i would look forward so much to seeing him...and talking on the phone with him about straight nothing...and the way he said my name...how it would just make me tingle inside...i wonder if anyone can ever make me feel that way again...so girlie and young again...

yay...theyre giving me work to do...so ill leave with that happy note =) i doubt anyone read this far anywayz...heehee =)

wow...finished early today...its only 8:06...lalalalalala...i blogged last night...so theres really nothing more to write...just extremely bored...

oh...im sure youve all heard about the albertson's thing by now...at least those of you in irvine...if anyone else reads this...this guy went into albertson's the other day and killed two people and injured 3...this is in irvine!...but the crazy part was...he was using a SWORD! like a samurai sword...and no...he wasnt asian...he was white...joseph parker...

can you imagine grocery shopping and some guy coming at you with a samurai sword...wtf...ends up he got it off of some tv show were the main character carries a sword and he was an albertson's employee...the two he killed were both workers...

at work some lady said that she lived in the same apt complex at him...and he was sort of a werido to begin with...scary though...its not the albertsons i go to...but like...damn...these things dont happen in irvine...

"Parker attacked in silence, almost beheading one of his victims, as some employees, arming with items from store shelves such as barbecue utensils and rubbish can lids, tried to defend themselves"

Police ended up shooting him to death...sad...sad...
