I'm back from my 4 day birthday weekend. Just came back from San Jose, where my dad lives. It was nice to spend more than just a day with them. Of course, tomorrow and the next day I work from 9am-8:30pm so not really looking forward to that.

But I had a good weekend. I took the train to San Jose on Saturday. I love the train. I can just sit back and listen to my iPod, read, or this time I watched an episode of QI on my laptop. Got to SJ where I met up with my dad, sister, and friend who had taken the bus from Santa Cruz. We end up going to Target for a bit where I start to sing 'Do De Rubber Duck' and somehow guilt my father into buying this for me. From there, we went to Red Robbin. They had the waiters/waitresses bring me ice cream and sing. *facepalm* I had flashbacks to my 16th birthday when I had dinner at Red Robin with my friends and my mom hired an Austin Powers impersonator to come and sing/make me dance/embarrass me to death. After dinner there was cake. And presents. They got me the first season of Community on DVD, a book about how to survive the garden gnome uprising, and an Amazon.com gift certificate. I actually just preordered Sherlock and Doctor Who. Now I just have to sit back and wait for November...

Sunday, my friend and I got up late (we had stayed up late watching Would I Lie To You? and Sherlock) so our first meal was lunch from one of my favorite burrito places, Burrito Azteca. Then, since we didn't have any real plans or things we wanted to do, we just hung out at the house with my sister watching those reality shows on TLC (my sister LOVES those) and more Would I Lie To You?. For dinner we made our own pizzas. We didn't make the dough, but we did have to roll it out and there were some interesting shapes. Turned out pretty good though. I put various toppings on different parts of the pizza so it was like having 5 pizzas in one! Anyway, it was tasty. We then watched The Amazing Race and some Seinfeld before everyone went to bed.

And Monday everyone but my friend and I had work and/or school, so we just bummed around for a while until my sister got out of school. And by the time my dad came home from school (he's a teacher), it was time to leave already. I watched the newest Merlin on the train.

Oh, I also found out that my dad and stepmother had put some money away for my brother and me and now that I'm 25, the account is officially in my name (and when my bro turns 25, his account will be under his name). I hate my job and want to start looking elsewhere, I need a car (and to practice my driving), I want to start saving for retirement, I want to pay off my student loans, I want to travel. I now have enough money to do at least a couple of these things. I'm trying to remind myself that even if I'll never be an adult, I do have to be somewhat responsible. So I'm trying to think what I want to do with that money and what I want to do with my life.

The day before my birthday, Tuesday, my coworkers gave me a cake as well as a couple presents from our store that they had chipped in to get for me. I might not love my job all the time, but I do love my coworkers <3

On my actual birthday, yesterday, I went to get lunch at the mall with my friend and her baby. I also went to Torrid where I got a ridiculously expensive belt. I still feel guilty for buying it, but I've been wanting one and it is/was my birthday. Then I came home and watched TV/played around online until we ordered pizza for dinner and my mom brought home a chocolate cake. I also may or may not have read some more Jonas fic.

Today didn't start out so well. I woke up to my mom coming in the house yelling at me to get up. It was 10:30ish and I had a 10:45 appointment to see a doctor about my cough. I guess I slept through my alarm. I never do that. Granted, I was up until about 3/4am, but still. So I call ahead and let them know that I am still coming in, I'll just be late. I get there, the doc gives me some antibiotics and tells me to come back in 2 weeks if I still have the cough and we'll do a chest x-ray or something. I get my medicine, my mom picks me up, we grab lunch, and I'm back home FINALLY watching the season premiere of Heroes. I was supposed to hang out with my other friend today but I guess there was a miscommunication, because when I talked to her earlier, she said she thought I was working today. Normally, I might be more annoyed, but I kind of just wanted to chill at home anyway.

And tonight I guess I'll watch SGU since I haven't got anything better to do ;P

Tomorrow my dad, stepmom, and sister are coming up to take me to Japantown for dinner. I think I'll have a bubble tea and a fish-shaped chocolate pancake. Mmmmm...

And then Sunday, it's back to work. And either that day or Monday, I have to go back to LensCrafters. I got my new glasses on the 25th, and I still feel like I'm looking through a fish bowl. I'm not sure if my new prescription is just so much stronger I haven't adjusted yet, or if it's just wrong. But either way I need to go back and find out. I'm not spending this much money for nothing.

And now I'll go finish the most recent ep of Heroes so I can at least be caught up with that.

(fyi, I'm gonna be 24)


It's not October yet and I'm freakin' excited for Halloween. I'm not even doing anything for it, I just LOVE this time of year. I'm going to make cupcakes, eat a shitload of candy, and watch movies/TV in my pink skull&bones PJs.

Also, it's almost 2am and I have to be up in like 6 hours. I should really get to sleep. Sometimes I think I hate myself. Why else would I do this night after night? Eh, whatever. I got to see new Merlin (which I didn't realize I've missed so much) and new Defying Gravity, so it's all good.

In other news, I celebrated my bday at my dad's today. A little after the fact, but I haven't been back here since then so this is the first opportunity. They got me a mocha cake decorated like a graveyard - cookie crumbs for grave dirt and little plastic toys on top (like a fake iron gate and tombstone rings). So much cake. So full. They also gave me a Visa gift card so Amazon.com, here I come!

We're going to Santa Cruz tomorrow so they can check on the cabin. I'm just going because I haven't been back since I moved out of my apartment. But also because I want to check the Borders there for something. They have a better selection of stuff there than they do in most bookstores in San Francisco. That ain't right. We're also going into town for lunch and I want to get a bubble tea. Mmmm... so good.

My birthday cake from this weekend )

On my actual birthday (on Wednesday), I'll probably order a pizza, get a chocolate cake or brownies, and spend the whole day watching Colin Firth movies, SG1, and all sorts of wonderful things. And then watch the season premiere of Pushing Daisies =D

In other news, I just finished my last driving lesson. I even drove on the freeway. And got stuck in traffic. But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I have to take the train back to SF today because while my mom was at work, and my brother at school, my grandma got out of the house AGAIN and a police officer drove around trying to find where she lived. Basically my grandma can't be left alone at all anymore. I don't know what we're going to do when I get a job. But at least I can be there for now.

Mile-long line for Academy of Sciences opening

By 1 p.m., 5,000 patient ones had gotten inside. By the 9 p.m. closing, the number grew to nearly 17,000. But thousands more were turned away for lack of room. The staff suggested that those who struck out Saturday could come back on the next free admission day, Oct. 15.


Last night's birthday party was a semi-bust. Everyone (even though there were only like 4) except my two best friends couldn't make it to the karaoke lounge. Which actually turned out fine, because we were exhausted from earlier that day and didn't really want to be there ourselves. It was also expensive and I didn't realize you had to pay per song. So we went stopped off at Safeway and got snacks and beer and went back to my friend's house where we changed into our PJs, ordered a pizza, and had cake. A cake with a naked man on it ^_^

And I feel FELL asleep watching Bridget Jones's Diary <3

But what I'm really here to talk about - the new Drake & Josh Christmas movie. Which is where my subject line comes from. Not from personal experience.



I am so excited for this movie, you have no idea. I showed it to my mom and she asked me how I could go from something like The Mighty Boosh to Drake & Josh. I guess the same way I can go from Iron Maiden on my iPod to 'C is for Cookie.' It's all about variety ;)

It seems that SurfTheChannel and I share a birthday (October 1st) and they have a countdown on their website.

As of right now, it's 3 days, 21 hours, 14 minutes, and like 50 seconds until my birthday. But I was actually born at 2 am, so add another 2 hours onto that countdown ^_^

PS Hiroki/Nowaki = <3

So it looks like I got my mom's cold. Dammit. I can't stop sneezing. I never sneeze! I feel like Daniel from the movie/early seasons.

I also only just watched my 50th movie this year (out of the 100 I'm trying for). It was Stardust and I really liked it - very pretty and fun to watch.

In better news, I signed my papers today and I'm officially working for my teacher as a writing tutor/reader. Well, I suppose it'll feel more 'official' when I've done some work and/or got paid.

For my birthday, my brother got me season 5 of SG1, [livejournal.com profile] pinkpurpleponie got me the SG1 mug, and Lexis got me the Zombie Survival Guide.

Classes are going fine... I've eaten a lot of cake the past week and I'm going to eat more this weekend when I go to my dad's. And I really don't have anything else to say I guess. House was good (still love Wilson); NCIS was better this week; I didn't really watch Boston Legal.

I want a burrito and it's freakin' freezing outside. That is all.

w00t!

It's been a good birthday weekend so far. I saw Resident Evil: Extinction with my friends. Milla Jovovich is hot and kicks ass (as usual). It was an alright movie but )

Yesterday, I went to Target with my mom where I got Homer Simpson slippers, Jeff Dunham's DVD 'Spark of Insanity', and finally I caved and bought the 'Collector's Edition' of Heroes. And of course I can't forget about Doctor Who and the season premiere of SGA!

Today, I went to lunch with my mom at O'Reilly's, got my Life on Mars poster in the mail, went to see my grandma, and I'm about to watch Jeff Dunham's 'Spark of Insanity' with my mom and eat my chocolate/raspberry cake.

The kinda sad thing about my birthday being on Monday is that I'm more excited about a new episode of Heroes then about turning 22 =D
spacemonkeyluvn: (today Josh and I... better flock this.)

[music| "Down We Fall" by Drake Bell ]

oh Noel... you so gay!

how was my weekend? well...

Friday
- my mom picked me up from school in the morning
- was still feeling down. Lexis was going to sleep over but that fell through.
- watched Doctor Who. CE will always be my doctor, but as soon as i heard DT's 'Lion King' and 'fightin' hand' lines, i knew i couldn't not like him ;)


Saturday
- Lexis took me out to breakfast where i had eggs, french toast, hash browns, and bacon. good lord, that was a lot of food
- then Lexis and i went to see The Covenant. (Harry Potter can kiss my ass!) pretty boys fighting each other. nice =D
- we went back to her place where, while waiting for our friends to show up, i showed her Josh kiss Drake on YouTube ;)
- once Tanya got there, Lexis' mom took all three of us to pick up Nata and we headed to some place i thought was where we were picking up my cake
- it turns out that my mom had planned something of a surprise birthday party for me. i got there (it was a Moroccan restaurant called El Mansour) and she and my brother were there with a bunch of balloons. a few minutes later, my dad, step-mom, and sister showed up (from San Jose). i really had no idea that they were coming =D it's such a cool place. there was belly dancing and the food was great. and after you wash your hands, they sprinkle rose-water on your hands. mmm... some stuff i got was House season 2, my iPod (i later bought and downloaded Drake & Josh- 'Josh Runs Into Oprah'), and my sister had gotten me the book version of Drake & Josh Go Hollywood (with poster) from her school book order <3
- we left the restaurant with the four of us in the back, along with all my giant-ass balloons. that was an interesting ride. plus, i'm the only one of my friends who is 21 and i'm the only one who didn't drink- despite the fact that everyone wanted me to ;)


Sunday (my actual birthday)
- i got my period :|
- my mom took me back to school
- i was feeling depressed again that day. i haven't felt that depressed since high school.
- it rained a bit on my birthday! i love the rain <3
- my mom called to say that she had lost her backpack with her wallet, medicine, glasses, everything (that really bothered me) but today some guy showed up and said he had found it, so even though she cancelled everything already, at least she got it all back
- the only really good thing about my birthday (besides all my friends calling me to wish me a happy bday) was the new Drake & Josh )

i did no homework over the weekend and kind of screwed myself for later this week, but oh well. it was my birthday. fuck it ;P

today i went to class, went downtown to buy books for school, got a burrito (can't get enough of those), did my readings and notes, and i'm working on my Catastrophe homework. and tomorrow i'm sleeping over at Casey's apartment so we can do our homework together. it means i'm going to miss NCIS and Boston Legal this week though :/

oh, and my headline(s) )
