so you would think that since now i have nothing to do pretty much everyday that i would be blogging like crazy...

but no...

life is pretty boring and uneventful...

let's see...wed went brazillian with what was suppose to be a grip of people but just turned out to be 7 of us...still not a small number =) thanx karen for the grad gift =) SO WORTH IT =) after went to guppy house...that shaved ice is killer...esp after brazillian...3 of us split a small and didnt finish...

thursday just went to work...chilled...found out julie cooper was in spawn...the movie from back in high school...she's so hot...

friday...went to try out some japanese place with frank...wafu...bleh...not worth it...that guy was sick so got some meds for him...finally got him out of bed and to the office...went to dinner at black angus...i ate SO much...it was disgusting...lol...then they decide spur of the moment they want to go clubbing cuz it was one of their buddy, mike's 21st b-day...called up the girls and went to garden...i have never seen a guy throw up like that...it was AWESOME! when we left the club he was chillin on the sidewalk cuz he couldnt walk...and BAM...it was like a fire hose...must have came out like...2ft?!!?! AMAZING! went to BCD...called it the night

saturday woke up hella late...went apt shopping with that guy cuz he needs to move again...theres some nice places in irvine! came home and chilled for the rest of the night...seemed like everyone wanted to do something...but no one could think of anything to do...but i had my handy dandy number game to keep me company =)

today...played more of that game...attempted more to burn some dvds...then finally had to get out of the house...eric had a bbq so few of us headed over to his house...him and frank decide to get a shitload of bacon...so we had...mushrooms wrapped in bacon and hot dogs wrapped in bacon...99 cent hot dogs none the less...needless to say...heart attack...haha...it was cool though...bbq tomorrow at stephs to get rid of the all the extra food =)

this entry was hella long...

good luck to all that are in finals or have finals coming up! congrats to all those that graduated with me already =)

sun went to dinner with frank at honda-ya...i swear that place is addicting...if only their sashimi was better...that teriyaki though...saw ray there! with one of his co-workers...he did the whole...<waiter brings over a bottle of sake> "this is from that gentleman over in the corner"...never had that done before...heehee...so we combined tables and had a pretty good time =) sucks that franks going to japan for the summer...now who am i going to eat with...haha...oh...brazillian on the 27th (thur) for those of you interested...

mon went to work and stuffed and counted out invitation for the charity event...the invitation are extremely cute =) 3000 invites went out...should be a fantastic event =) moved into my extended apt at troy hall...its nice...bigger than cardinal...my roommate is this cute indian chick...then watched troy...all i can say is...brad pitt is a beautiful beautiful man...talk about perfection...the movie itself was ok...but brad...oh brad...yummy...i really liked eric bana's character too...hector...and orlando bloom...what have you done to your career...his next roll better be great or hes doomed...chick that played helen was alright...she had the correct features to represent a helen...

tuesday woke up late and went to work with the kids...subsituted for the K kids...after they finish their packets they get to watch a movie of their choice...and they chose george of the jungle...what a fantastic movie...and i thought brad pitts body was nice...<cough>...theres some competition here! terrifically done movie though...forget how much sarcasm they included...no way the K kids could understand...i kept laughing and theyd just look at me...lol...fun fun...i like teaching them =)

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of which has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated

[Chorus]
I am vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated
I am certain now that

[Chorus]

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current and let me slip away

[Chorus]

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

You're hiding something cuz it's burning through your eyes
I try to get it out but all I hear from you are lies
And I can tell you're going through the motions
I figured you were acting out your part
Once again we're playin off emotion
Which one of us will burn until the end?

Catalyst, you insist to pull me down
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it's all downhill from here
And it's all downhill from here

Your good intentions slowly turned to bitterness
Reoccurring episodes with each and every kiss
And I can tell you're going through the motions
I figured you were acting out your part
Once again we're playin off emotion
Which one of us will burn until the end?

Catalyst, you insist to pull me down
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it's all downhill from here
And it's all downhill from here

And I cant believe you pulled it off again
Im running, still it all sets in
You'll deny it till you're at your bitter end
And I can tell you're going through the motions
I figured you were acting out your part
Once again we're playing off emotion
Which one of us will burn until the end?

Catalyst, you insist to pull me down
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it's all downhill from here
And it's all downhill from here

And you keep pulling me..
Down, pulling me down, pulling me down
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it's all downhill from here
And it's all downhill from here

<again...shut-up paul>
