busy week!
Hijole! (means woo--wee! in Spanish)
I went to Disneyland yesterday; I'm converted! It IS a happ place on earth, when you can afford it (or decide to pretend really hard), and you've made up your mind that goddamit, you're going to have a good time. Suzanne is moving back to SF & wanted to go, so I wasn't really going to be able to bring myself to say no to her. There were lines, but nothing intolerable, and the weather was hot, but the park was way ahead of us in providing places with AC. Sadly, Space Mountain is closed till 2005, but we went on pirates twice, as well as the haunted mansion twice. Oh, also the materhorn 2x. The 1st time, i went in front, and to be an ass I let my hair down so it would blow in her face. I kept feeling her hand onthe back of my head, like that was going to restrain it. "I feel like I"m at a metal concert!" Later, when she wen in front, it was after hours of baking in the sun and sweating, so when she took her hair out of the ponytail, it just kinda hung there & left me alone during the ride. ha!
Today I'm going to a baby shower for my friend who's gonna pop in October. I went to the same JC as her and we both just graduated in June. Her other friends are all people she's known since high school in the ghetto, and are approprately ghetto. As such, they fucking despise me! I have never encountered automatic hostility for no reason that I couldn't anticipate or claim some responsibility for (because I do like to antagonize people). But sheesh, this wave of hatred washed over me and left me a little stunned the 1st time i met them. the 2nd time, I was read for it, & it didn't shock and kinda hurt my feelings. I was even able to be a little standoffish to them while being thuroughly (sp?) uninterested in their various dirty, coarse, rude little offspring. Now I get to spend an afternoon with these hoochie mamas. The best part? I'm going to a night wedding afterwards, so I've got nice hair, and makeup on. Will they recognize the snooty college lesbian? (only lesbian because, psshhh, i'm TWENTY THREE and don't even have one illegitimate child yet! I must be one of those manhating slit lickers. Whatever. I only hate a few men.
2 papers to turn in before my undergrad career is over. In usual fashion, it looks like they'll get done in all-nighter fashion, just in time to go fall asleep at Suzanne's goodbye party. Suzanne going home makes me very sad. The party's supposed to consist of work people getting plastered, which will be worth it just for the morbid curiosity of seeing their behavior drunk (finding a work crush to help pass the time has been an absolute bust!) Natalie going home makes me sad, because I feel like we never had time to forge a genuine friendship. We have email and cellphones. with a concerted effort to not remain too permanently wrapped up in our lives, we'll stay in touch. There's always livejournal, right babe?!? And Kristy's going to be in grad school, so she'll forget all about the shoes she lent me (Muahahahaaaaa!) ninjaturtle42 moving does not make me as sad, cause I think I'll be in pretty frequent contact with her, and flying out there is less arduous than driving to, say, irvine. There is no sense of finality about it, just, sort of, inconvenience that I can't see her face whenever I want. All of my neat-o ladies are going to be far away! TC dosen't even have a car! I don't WANT to make new friends!! I like the ones I have NOW!!!
At the very least, I've found true love (i can't remember how to insert a link with a word) http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1077626018189&skuId=6399523&type=product
