tomorrow is the official start of month SEVEN of 2006. holy crappers where did the time go?!?!?!
i have this huge bug bite on the inside-side of my left foot. and it ITCHES really bad. so i've been scratching away, making it larger and larger by the minute. which makes it increasingly painful to wear any type of footwear. ANY TYPE. feck. flip flops rub. socks make my feet sweat in this ungodly heat and humidity. and heels are just completely out of the question. UGH. someone shoot me now please.
in other news: our first HUGE fight was last night. wow. i never thought i could be so angry at someone i love so much. good grief. i'm not sure if i should take it as a sign of passion, or as a red flag. Either way, we've decided to elope sometime soon.
i'll post the wedding pictures as soon as everything is hunky-dory.

Go back to the time when:
Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!'
'Race issue' ment arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly.'
It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.
Being old referred to anyone over 20.
A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery.
Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better.
It was a big deal to finally be tall enought to ride the 'big people' rides at the fair.
When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.
When Ninja Turtles ruled the world.
Another Baby Sitter Club and Little Sister (Karen) book came out and you put your name on hold for it at the library.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear

i've never been good at accepting gifts, compliments, or praise. not that i don't feel like i deserve it, but i just feel that it's unneccesary. cuz sometimes (actually, most times), a simple "Thank You" is all i need.
you know how they say that money will break up a great relationship? or at the very least, if both parties aren't honest about it with each other, then that's where the drama will seed?
in our case, i think this might just be the very root of all our problems. not that either of us is being dishonest ((trust me... that's def not the issue! i've got access to his accounts, and he's got access to my accounts, and we practically have a joint account already))). The part that gets to me is that he's a little too generous when it comes to me. example: he picked up the dinner tab for my little brother's graduation dinner ($450)... ooh... my parents were PISSED. then the tires. and the car care. and a slew of other things that are completely unneccesary.
and his reasoning behind all of this?!?!?! i'd explain it, but it would take forever. his bottom line is: he thinks it's his job RIGHT NOW to take care of me.
and my argument against it all?!?! he's moving in less than a month, and he needs to SAVE HIS MONEY. especially since i know he's already tapped into his savings.
BAH. but how do you tell someone that's trying really hard to take care of you to stop? and with someone as bullheaded as he is, it makes it even more difficult.

i fell in love with a house. .... IN FRESNO. but it's so PERFECT. the layout, the feel, the EVERYTHING>.. except location. boo. but really, i wouldn't mind living there for a few YEARS. 'specially since both of our favorite grammas live there. and the rest of his mother's side of the fams.
spending the weekend in hot-as-hell fresno with people i don't know?!?!? i thought i'd for sure be in hell. but you know what? his family are good peoples. air conditioning makes life bearable in the desert. sleep is good. housing is cheap, large, and beautiful. and moms LOVES her house.
yes, i've started to call his mother "mom." and she responds to it. and i think gramma likes me. yay.
ooh. and when i upload the kitty pics, you'll be in love too! we found kittens in mom's aunt's tool shed, and they were the most adorable things ever! so much so, that we decided to bring them home to sd with us. Ewok fell asleep on my shoulder for a good 3 hours of the ride home. Kona knocked out in mom's lap. awww. cute!
know what tho? i think we're eloping to vegas. i don't think either of us can deal with all the family drama, all at once. yikes.
June 21, 2006
the more i think about it, the more i WANT to go to arizona. and it's not like it would be FOREVER. it would just be for 15 months. and one of those months would be here in SD for the holidays. dur. so technically... it would only be for 14 months. SEE?!?!? not so bad, eh? then after arizona, it's off to live in Fresno for a year.
yeap... you heard right... FRESNO. the desert. in the stagnant heat. UGH. i'm not looking forward to it, but considering that it will be the last time we live with his fams, before perma-parking in SD, then it's not so bad.... 'sides... that's where both our grammas live.
yes, i'm serious. I'm also crazy, delirious, and in love. (yeap, you heard that one right too)
frustrating, yes. exhilirating, yes. he's the only one that really gets under my skin and lights a fire. could be good, could be bad. For now, i'll take it as a good thing.
June 16, 2006
i havent been as irritated with people as i was yesterday. it wasn't me, i swear. cuz i woke up feeling great, woke up knowing i was going to have a great day.... then... POO.
my worlds are colliding, and not in a good way. i didn't think the people that i love would ever irritate or aggravate me the way that they did yesterday. which makes me just want to crawl into a hole and stay there... maybe rot there.
you guys suck. that's all i can say.
June 15, 2006
WHAT A FUCKING TEAAASE!!!!! UGH. so i log onto iTunes, hoping to buy the new single from dashboard confessional. and i click "buy" and it WONT LET ME!!! i have to fucking wait for the whole ALBUM to drop!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!!
and all the stupid bootlegged ones i can't freakin download. FUCK. this sucks ass.
June 13, 2006
GEEEEEZUS. i finally take the myspace alerts offa my phone (i know... what a LOOOOSER!), and when i sign in, there's a million new comments, messages, bulletins, and requests. awwww.. everyone misses me. how SHWET.
but you know what? countdown 'til august. the only time we intend to be apart until then is for the vegas trip in july. 'til then... we're gonna relish every moment together until he has to leave. so sorry folks... but i won't have him for 15 months... so i'm gonna take advantage of it while i still have him.
and while he's gone, we'll play catch-up. we'll also play taper-off. cuz when he's back, i'm movin to fresno. (ew) then up to pomona. then off to our own place. yikes... things are moving so fast, but i love it.
.... that's life, yo.
June 10, 2006
funny how things end up the way they do, eh?
today i worked during the Jehovahs Witnesses convention, and saw one of my best friends from middle school. Lynsey Lupo. We were so close.... and then for some reason, we both completely lost touch the summer after 8th grade. it was really sad....cuz we went through a lot of shit together. she told me she's married now. great job. she looks great... looks like a real adult. if i didn't have a humongous line behind her, i would have taken down her number. because i would love to catch up.
...speaking of catching up... last night at the game, someone had a certain craving for a Diego dog. so we went to Jerry's cart behind Right Field Lower Reserved and ordered two just like we usually do... and Jerry asks us, "so did you set a date yet?" he asked if Pane was taking good care of me... and continued our pointless banter with a long line behind us. It's nice that he remembered... because he was the first person we told about our "engagement." Jerry's a cool guy. He's definitely invited to the wedding. hahhahahahah!
and while we're on the subject... CONGRATULATIONS DING!!!! i know the well-wishes are a wee bit late, but i'm so happy for you and your new husband. He maeks you happy, and that's what matters. I can't wait to see you and your new hubby next weekend. =) if anything, let me know where you were registered and what you didn't receive so i can get you two a gift. you deserve it! i'm glad to have you back in my life. =)
June 7, 2006
so here's the scenario::: i'm at work, Pane just left cuz he got off early, and i'm feeling like poop because we had a big misunderstanding/talk the night before. I'm on clean-up patrol, so i have to haul the trash bins outside and dispose of our great-smelling waste. And i'm out there... and i happen to look over to where i parked my car.... and my car is GONE. WTF?!?!?!??!! so i do a double take... and it's still not there.
i'm confused. distraught. distracted. as i pull the trash bins back into the store. With a funky look on my face. "Hey guys. my car is gone. i think it's been stolen." and with that quote, a barrage of questions come along... all answered in a calm voice. FUCK! WTF?!?!? where the fuck could it be? maybe i just got towed. and i continue to clean. with the oddest look on my face.... and the regular customers start asking questions. Within minutes, the entire population of Starbucks Friars & Fenton (customers and staff) is focused on finding my car.
so i made 2 calls. and Bessie tells me that her brother's car is not home. FUCK!!!! Pane fucking stole my car!!! WTF?!?!? i figured he just stole it to clean it inside out and to fill up the tank (which he has a tendency to do). but since i JUST cleaned my car inside and out and he just filled the tank the day before, i'm confused. but i calm down. but now i'm stranded. with no car. =-(
towards the end of my shift i catch him in the act. Bringing my car back safe and sound in it's original parking space. UGH!!!! okay... he is SOOOO not slick... cuz i CAUGHT YOU!!!! and he has no clue how peeved i am.
a few frustrating hours later, i look inside and out my car. HMMM.... nothing. the only thing i can see is new fingerprints, a new air freshener, and a suspicious envelope in the passenger side door. Pane makes me promise not to open it. so i don't. and i start driving home. Confused as ever.
so i'm driving home... and periodically glancing over to the suspicious envelope... hrmmm.... yokohama.... hmmm... falken...... hmmm.... pirelli ....Oh.... MY... Fucking.... GAWD. he didn't. he couldn't. would he? that's fucking expensive! No. Fucking. Way. he couldn't have put new tires on my car. he's not that crazy. IS HE?!?!?!
i'm driving on the freeway, so i can't exactly pull over and double check to see if i have new tires. So i race home. pull into my driveway, JUMP out of the car... and look down. BAFFLED.
he fucking put new Falkens on my car. HOLY SHIT.
and apparently, he special ordered (and purchased) brake pads, a stability bar, and new rotors for my car. HOLY SHIT.
and his reasoning behind it? "i've gotta take care of you. you're my girl. and since you're always driving, this is my way of making sure that you're taken care of when I can't be around."
wow. i think i found a winner.

Dear Big Bhro.... If i don't get a chance to post tomorrow, i just want to wish you a very happy birthday. Please be safe. and please drink a lot. Not out of boredom, out of pain, out of anything except CELEBRATION. you deserve a lot more than that. I miss you, and I love you... and i promise that as soon as things settle... i'm bringing out out drinking with the super-liver. enjoy your 24th... cuz it's a year away from QUARTERCENTURY!!!!
in any case... i've been posting a lot on blogspot. why? i'm not really sure. maybe because out of sheer boredom. or maybe i just wanna throw you for a loop.
there's a lot to update on. i just wish that you would call me instead of reading. it would be a lot more convenient. but too bad i have no minutes... unless ofcourse you're with cingular.
but one thing's for sure.... I'M NOT THE ONE BEING GREEDY. but i am the one who will refuse this sort of treatment. i'm OVER IT. and regardless of what kind of shitty turmoil i'm feeling inside.... it's not gonna get the best of me.... cuz i'm STRONGER, damnit.
