At work with lots to do but it can all wait. He has a depo at 1pm which is in an hour an a half so I'll be at peace all day I'm sure. Pam is coming! She's such a sweetheart.
Anyway, life's going pretty well! I've lost a nice amount of weight and I plan on keeping it off by bike riding. I lovvvve riding my bike, oh my goodness. Downside to it though? I have to ride my bike with Tyler twice a week. My heart never exerts itself because we end up riding really slowly and talking. I've already bitched about our conversations so I won't do it again. It's annoying. I'm going to make up an excuse to not ride today. I have dinner plans for Thursday too. Awesome.
I don't want to jinx myself. I'm usually realistic, not cynical, so I always tend to mentally prepare myself for the worst. I love my job so far. It's the perfect amount of fast-paced craziness that I crave but it's also laid back and familiar, a mix that doesn't exist in retail. Yeah there are annoyances, much like with any job, but these are bearable. I make $700 every two weeks at least; an amount I thought impossible for me at 24. It's nice; I might be getting a raise soon. I'm glad that finding this job has totally distracted me from everything else.
I made a Stony playlist and I could not be happier. I keep trying to add to it but the search engine on tumblr is shit. I want them to be creative, not just any other love song. That shit doesn't apply to them. I want the songs to be very specific and that's why my playlist is the shizzy.
Saw Men in Black on Friday. I cannot say this enough: I'm so glad we're not dating anymore. I don't have to deal with that every single week, twice a week, sometimes thrice. He just....it's hard to explain. He was sweet but I just, don't want him to be. I wish he could just get a girlfriend already and move on. Make new friends.
The movie was cute-- much better than the first one, that's for sure. I just don't care for aliens and secret agents and outer space unless it's done in an accurate way. Unless it's Star Wars, I just don't care. But for not caring, it wasn't bad. As always the jokes are forced and Will Smith bugged the shit out of me. Eh.
Lulu's bday went by smoothly. Dad didn't drive like a maniac, Lulu had no idea where we were going, and Gio wasn't her usual loud, rambunctious self. The museum was absolutely incredible. I was tearing up the entire time-- very well worth the $30 I paid to get Lulu and I in. Dinner was outrageous. Gio and dad got wine and mom and Gio ordered an extra dessert. All and all dinner almost cost $300. Yikes. But lulu had a good time and so did we.
She bought her Playstation 3! CAPTAIN AMERICA EXTRAS AWWWWW YEAH!
Speaking of Cap, mom sat with me and watched the part where he becomes Captain America and it was the hardest I've laughed in a while. She's pretty hilarious. She said she would totally sit down and watch it with me one day, if I put Spanish subtitles, because "my goodness, he's so pretty!" She called him the Spanish word for "adorable". Then BOOM he comes out of the pod and she's like "woaaaaaaah he fine". Indeed mom.
And then she goes "why can't you find someone like that? He's handsome and can clearly kick someone's ass for you." I told her "But I don't want that, I want Chris Evans. Just him, no one else."
"Well than what's the problem? Go get him!"
"He lives in Boston mama, that's too far."
"Oh dear, yeah that's a problem. Too far for school."
"I could always study there and we could live together."
"That sounds perfect, he makes good money. But then we need to meet him so he has to move here with you. I want a ring on that finger."
"Mom! We will get married when we're ready!"
"Well you have to start having blonde babies as soon as possible. You're not getting any younger."
"That's definitely true, I do want Chris Evans babies. Yeah, I'll give him a call mom, see what's up."
"Make sure he comes over wearing that. That's nice."
My mum is the best =D
Having dinner with Jeanie after work on Thursday. I feel like I've been spending a fortune but I should still have about $100 until Friday. Sounds good! We'll go to that Mexican restaurant or something. I want BJs but we've been there before like 100 times. We'll see. She finally quit her job and is moving on in the world. I need to convince her to leave that deadbeat boyfriend of hers. It's pathetic that she's dating him, seriously.
There's a placement test for Sac state next week....whoops. =<
Clothes shopping will happen at some point. This weekend the parents want to go to the beach and I'm seriously dreading it. I don't like the beach, I never have. It's not like I hate it or anything-- I just don't want to go with my parents. It's not fun. I don't like ice cream either so....*sigh* Would they get pissed if I asked to stay home? I get two days off guys >=/
Oh god then there's Tyler's week off. I'm SO GLAD I have a full-time job! Only once will we hang out and that'll be for tea. I'd have tea with satan, I wouldn't even care. I'm sure we'd have a lot to talk about! =P
I'm so random! I watched the second Fantastic Four movie last night and uh....well.....Well. It was painful in so many ways, I don't even know where to begin. The film was made in 2008, right when Chrissy Evans was dating Jessica Alba, his costar. Not only is she engaged to that science guy (who's wayyyy too old for her, by the way) she and Evans play brother and sister. YIKES. They don't even remotely look related. Not even close. And ohhh my goodness does she suck at acting. This isn't jealousy speaking, by the way. I honestly think they made a very cute couple. But come onnnn Jessica. It felt like....a parody of the Fantastic Four. There was no way that was the actual film.
The only good part of the whole thing, I'm not exaggerating, is when Chris is onscreen. He's flippin hilarious and can play a stuck-up womanizer a little too well. You're not supposed to like Johnny Storm because he's an ass, but you like Johnny Storm because he's played by Chris Evans. There's a part where he's in a bar and he's talking to that rock guy and he's like "I'm glad my sister found someone and you have someone. That must be nice." Deep down inside that douchebag sits a lonely soul, yearning for someone that's super awesome like me to stay with him forever. Nah, he's an ass. Those uniforms could NOT be tighter. No wonder he never really complains about his Cap suit.
I just want to take a moment to explain something. I truly find it amazing that he can play both Captain America AND Johnny Storm to such perfection, you can't imagine anyone else playing either role. It's so true what Robert Downey Jr said about him. He's literally in american flag spandex and you totally and completely take him seriously. He's sincere, honest, quiet and brooding, determined and focused, strong but humble. He does it brilliantly.
And on the other hand, Johnny is the complete opposite! He's loud and annoying, sarcastic and egotistical, a huge show-off and definitely the comic relief. How does he do ittttt. I know, I know he's an actor but it still blows me away. I'm so glad that given the choice, he'd rather play Cap than Johnny. He's got plenty of sexist asshole roles to his credit. He's growing up XD....
Okay, seriously, this is way too long already so I'll just shut up now. Lunchtime!
