I love my brother's girlfriend. She is the best.
If I ever move away from California, I will miss her the most by far.

i got a voo doo squirrel in amsterdam.
i named him squeek.
his eye fell out today and now it looks like he has a giant black eye.
i should probably rename him something ferocious like bruiser or killer.
any suggestions?

i am totally in the christmas spirit and i love it. i am a little upset at my dad because its like he doesnt even try anymore. he sees christmas coming and gets into grouch position. im determined to have a good christmas with or without him in the mood.
i am not too exciting that its raining right now. i woke up on monday with a squad car going up and down my street telling everyone it was a mandatory evacuation. (they are worried about mudslides) the problem with that is the dogs are at home and i cant just leave them. however if i leave with them i will not be allowed to go back home. unfortunately i had to tell sifl that we couldnt go shopping (im sorry!!!) and stayed at home against the mandatory evacuation. most of my neighbors stayed so we would occasionally go over to each other's houses and check up on everyone.
finals are coming to an end. i should probably be studying right now but that would require actually getting my shit together to study. so i figure i will do that later.
i still miss chicago.

wednesday: needed to tutor (been slacking... too many things going on). got rear ended on the freeway. no damage done to the car... but annoying shit to have to deal with.
thursday: went to work... swamped for hours. then eating of turkey... mmm
tomorrow: working on black friday. hoping to god it isnt as crazy as it was today...
finding stuff to be thankful for.

as if things couldnt get any worse... now we are expecting rain.
the problem with rain = mud slides.
my first saturday off was spent grabbing things out of the house afraid that it would burn down... and this coming saturday we are putting up sand bags in an attempt to not have the hill behind our house become the hill on top of our house.
i hate california... chicago here i come.

as i sit here writing this i am trying not to think of the things i am about to write. its like when you are a kid and you teacher tells you " ok class, take out your pens, we are going to do a free write, whatever you think just write it down. dont let your pen stop." i was never good at those because i always wanted to fix my mistakes. so i would go back and edit what a wrote. so needless to say, when i started to grow up and did this on the computer, i would always backspance and then my words would build up because i would be thinking too many of them at one time and i couldnt get them out because i would constantly be going back and fixing my mistkes. FUCK im doing it right now. i have told myself that i wouldnt go back and fix them but im doing it anyway.
there are so many things that i have been thinking lately and i just cant get them off my mind. things that seem to be important but in the long run probably wont matter. although some of these things will matter and those things are the things that i have been thinking most about. like, i am so happy that people are becoming more interested in politics. scratch that, YOUNG people are becoming more interested in politics. i mean its about time that we take charge of our country because we are the future of america. i cant believe how unbelievably cheesy that sounds.
i want to do something with my life. iw ant to go places and make a difference to someone. i no longer want to live my life stuck in the suburs where the only thing that people seem to care about is whether or not you have the latest louis vutton purse and whatnot. i mean i want to live in the city. i want to see all different types of people. i would love to be able to get the fuck out of here.
i am still writing this thing as a free write. i dont know what esle to write att he moment except that i dont want to write what is really on my mind. so i do what i can to try to take my mind off of what its on. does that even make sense?> i guess you have to be in my head in order for it to make sense.
it were reading up on some artilces and watched something studies in my non verbal comm class. did you know that in today's society that even though people say they are an equal opportunity employer they still discriminate on things such as physical appearance. i mean we watched a study today about how a woman in a fat suit couldnt get a job but then she went back without the fat suit and got offered 2 jobs. i mean thats fucking ridiculous. as if i didnt have enough to worry about, now i have to take into consideration my weight when interviewing for a job. as well as two women competing for the same job, one didnt get an offer (even with HIGHER credentials) than another because she wasnt as pretty.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH OUR SOCIETY????
this is very disturbing. i dont even want to think anymore. i think i am going to go to bed. what was i thinking writing this shit. i could very easily delete this but since i havent had a post in about a month i am going to post it. i cant see the keyboard through the stinging tears. im done.

as i sit here, i realize that i have 9 days left in chicago. sometimes it frightens me at how fast time travels. it seriously seems like i just got here last week and yet i am already leaving. so i guess what im trying to say here is that time goes by so quickly, we must make the best of it. dont dwell on things too much, enjoy life to the fullest. that whole thing.
i wont lie, i am really going to miss chicago and i will probably be miserable for the first couple weeks i am home, but i look forward to seeing the people i miss (as well as my dog!)
so ill see you when i see you.

very few people can make being in 108 degree weather bearable ( i dont know if that is spelled right... but if its spelled wrong then, no i do not mean of or dealing with bears) however, sifl gets a gold star for being one of those people.
even with the ridiculously hot weather and fear of car breaking down and dealing with insanity and shitty clouds that wouldnt even TRY... it was a spectacular day.
oh sifl its like youve been my sockmate all along.

so i killed a fly today. (if you have never seen me kill a fly then you are missing out.) it was really disgusting. but the most disturbing thing about killed a fly was what happened afterward.
so i was sitting next to phoenix with a rolled up magazine ready to kill a fly and when i finally got it much screaming and "ewww"ing persuedso bo being the curious puppy he is decided to run over to me and see what all the comotion was about.. upon realizing that i had killed a fly he quickly sniffed it then ATE IT!!!!
this dog is not the brightest crayon in the box. however he is getting extra protein.
