Monday, August 30, 2004 ( 1:07 PM ) shut up christine signed onto AIM for the first time in weeks and was bombarded with instant messages damn I love my friends it’s sooooo good to be home thanks buds, you make me happy I was one of the last kids to leave the dorms so I got to watch everyone leave thank goodness Nate was there to keep me company if I was by myself I would have spent my last night roaming the empty hallways, lying down in peoples’ beds crying myself to sleep...I’m so dang dramatic but instead me and Nate hopped from room to room, digging thru trash and eating food left behind. I find trashdigging very fulfilling…and I mean that in the most non-stalkerish sense…I’m just really cheap and I like getting good stuff for free. Fun times I’m so glad Nate came to visit...Nathan Ie is one of the coolest guys you will ever meet, so if you don’t know him already you should get to know him. Nate ith great…vamoth a la thalida I miss my classmates On one of our last bus rides into town together, I sat back and watched everyone My first thought was wow Americans are so freakin loud My second and more important observation was wow, these people are so amazing… we were only together for five weeks but I feel like I learned so much from them I have a bunch of other thoughts to write but I must drive back to Irvine..tomorrow I start training in Mesa again yayyyyy Hasta luego # ( 3:04 AM ) shut up christine  my two favorite souvenirs

Wednesday, August 25, 2004 ( 1:40 PM ) shut up christine HAFFY BIRFDAY SABRINA! This post is dedicated to my awesome friend, Miss Sabrina Thind on her 22nd birthday even though she doesn´t read my journal boo but I want the world to know how much I lurve this girl so Sabs is the type of once-in-a-lifetime friend who will offer her sweatshirt to you when you are hiding in a closet with no underwear and no pants on so that you can cover your ass… and then she will walk in the cold pouring rain, without a sweatshirt and without a complaint, all the while consoling you for peeing in your pants… she´s the type of friend who will force herself to stay awake on the long train ride to Munich when you have fallen asleep, just to make sure that you get off at the right train stop… when your backpack is stolen with all your toiletries inside, she will let you borrow her toothbrush, even though she knows it´s been a while since you last brushed... when you are bummed that your camera and all your digital pictures are gone, she will give you one of her disposable cameras, and she’ll make copies of all her pictures for you… and when you miss breakfast in the morning, she will come to your room with an orange in her hand… Every time I fall down she helps me get back on my feet She´s the main reason why I´m here in Spain, if it wasn´t for her I wouldn´t have studied abroad, I wouldn´t have backpacked, none of this would have happened It will be so different next year now that she´s graduated and going to DC for a bit and then moving back to the bay area... what am I going to dooooo it makes me sad thinking about it, I´m going to miss her so much I want to hold on and keep her here with me eeek guys! I´m crying in the computer lab!! yyyyuck i´m so emotional i´m gonna go before I start gasping for air…I tend to do that when I try to hold back my tears eww yuck I need to stop peace out guys p.s. Feliz Cumpleanos Sabs, even though you don´t read this! I´m really lucky to have you in my life p.p.s. Woot!! Nate Ie is coming to visit tomorrow! Nate rocks!! # Monday, August 23, 2004 ( 8:48 AM ) shut up christine When I was a kid I always played this cool computer game called The Island of Doctor Brain and there´s a part where you have to match all these famous paintings to the artist who painted them and it trips me out that 10 years later I´m looking at the same paintings, but instead of staring at a computer I´m standing in front of a real Picasso or Dali or O´Keeffe... it´s almost like deja vu Do you ever think back to the time in 5th or 6th grade when your teacher asked you ¨How do you see yourself ten years from now?¨ and then ten years later you remember that question and you realize that almost everything you wanted to happen is happening now, and almost all the things you thought you would be, you are almost but I think almost is definitely a good thing if you had everything then you would have nothing to look forward to anyway lately I´ve been thinking a lot about random people I once knew from elementary or high school Derek Van Hamersveld, Richard Higa, Amanda Derby, Amar Patel, Nathaniel Jilk... haven´t seen any of these people in years, don´t know if they would remember me but I wonder where they are and what they look like and how they´re doing this post is for them peace out buds I will see you soon # Tuesday, August 17, 2004 ( 1:55 PM ) shut up christine I went to Lisbon, Portugal this past weekend with some of my classmates and I was buying postcards from a sidewalk vendor when two cars on the street almost hit, but instead of getting mad, one driver smiled and made a hand motion signaling the other car to pass, then the other driver smiled back and nodded a thank you before he left The whole thing took place in less than ten seconds, no one else had even noticed it, but something about it shocked me, I think because I´m so used to seeing people get road rage over nothing, and I´m guilty of it too, especially when I´m late for work... my point is that I´ve had a lot of these ¨shocking¨moments since I´ve been here, these tiny ten-second sequences that stick in my head and make me think and change the way I used to see things anyhoot Portuguese boys are extremely good looking wow cut tanned soccer bodies helllo being in Europe has taught me a lot about my taste in men my friend Mara says that I give out tens too easily she says even when I am surrounded by hot Portuguese boys, I go for the hunchback from Estonia he was really cute though...gorgeous eyes, and nice personality too, he just had bad posture If you´re bored here are some good Spanish movies to watch: Lucia y El Sexo and Carne Tremula now I must work on my projects, we´re nearing the end of our program so there are papers and finals to prepare for hope you´re all doing well...thanks to the people who´ve written emails or messages on their webpages, it makes me happy when I hear from people back at home especially Angie Amador!! you made me cry when I read your email alritey peace out buds p.s. hunchbacks are hot yo # Tuesday, August 10, 2004 ( 2:05 PM ) shut up christine I kissed a boy a real boy, not an imaginary one he was from London and then I ran away because that stuff makes me nervous I have no game but he was shady anyway and right after it happened, in my head I was thinking ¨Dammit, I can´t believe I just wasted my first kiss on this shady guy¨ it was okay and all mehhh but I always thought my first would be special I wanted to feel butterflies and see fireworks I wanted to get goosebumps and watch the room spin but nope, none of that happened I believe the line he used was ¨Can I kiss your nose?¨ and I said ¨uhh my nose is sweaty¨(we were dancing at a club) yup that´s how it started, that´s some hot and steamy dialogue right there but at least he had some stubble I could feel it on my shoulders I loovvvve that anyhoot the nightlife here is out of control the bars give free shots and a lot of the clubs close at freakin 11 in the morning... I am not a rockstar yet, I like to be in bed by 7am at the latest Priya, when you get here in the fall you are going to have sooo much fun oh and there are these international parties where everyone wears a sticker with the name of their country on it you can meet people from every corner of the world Italy, New Zealand, Russia, France, Spain, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Japan everyone is there together dancing and having a good time how awesome is that I wish we had international parties like that back at home I also saw a bullfight it was a tad different from what I expected I thought the matadors just waved their red capes around, I didn´t know they would actually kill the bulls, and its not just one bull, there are six For me it was a little difficult to watch it´s like a very slow sad dance, beautiful but painful at the same time on a different note, our econ and marketing classes are still pretty interesting (some of the time eheh) yesterday we went on a fieldtrip to the monster.com branch in Spain which was pretty cool... we got to learn about the difficulties domestic companies face when they decide to go international... good to know when I own my own company :) but a lot of times I space out in class and think about working in Mesa Court again its gross how excited I am to go back to work and to start training finally this troll can return to the MAC three more weeks until I start but I love this job already it makes me so happy ewww are you barfing yet p.s. just want to tell my sister and my mom happy birfdays! i love you adios amigos # |
