Happy Mother’s Day to any and all the moms out there. I’ve still got 45 minutes to say that, so there. :)

Right, so the big news in my life is that school sucks. har har. I made a list of all the things that I have left to do during finals, and they are as follows: History of Japan final paper (due 16), Sources of Japanese Tradition 1 (due 3 months ago, but I’m turning it in late, 17), biology final exam (17), marketing final exam (due 17), and History of Japan final exam (due 17). History of Japan and Marketing are online classes, so the due dates coincide with the last day I want to do work, lulz.

My Ate said something about going to Red Rock Canyon for the day and her next day off is the 18th. I’m excited. I want to go and explore this great state. I get all romantical ideas when I think of Nevada. Still feels like the Wild West to me sometimes, and I’m a sucker for history. My Ate and nieces took good pictures when they went there on a whim today, and I want some pictures and memories for myself. It’ll be nice to get back to nature and all that.

So the next big thing going on in my life is that one of my very best guy friends, T, gave me a white Coach purse that look a bit like this. My niece calls it “The T Bag.” It’s the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. I honestly put up a front with people (I’ve been described as “scary”), and very few people know the real girl underneath. T, I’m happy to say, is one of them.

He put a note in the purse pretty much telling me that he thought the world of me, would always be there for me, that he didn’t want to pressure me into having a boyfriend (I told him as much in our conversations), and all that stuff that makes me googly when I think of it. But I owe it to myself to find out what I want in life before I get a boyfriend. Most people would call me stupid and say that I should snap him up while I still can, but something tells me that he’ll wait until I find what I’m looking for. Or find another girl to shower his money on, rofl.

I’d always kind of resigned myself to being unlovable, but it’s because I was talking to the wrong guys. It’s nice to know guys aren’t all guilty of emotional fuckwittage, are sex addicts or commitment-phobics. As Bridget Jones says. The thing that got me about T was that he knows what he’s doing with his life. He’s going to school to better his situation. He’s a bit young for me (he’s turning 21 next month). My little brother is a year older than him. Like they say, age ain’t nothin’ but a number, but still. It’s a bit strange to think abt.

I would take a proper picture of the purse (the repeating Coach logo is smaller), but I have to buy a new memory card for my camera. I technically had 3 digital cameras, a Polaroid (that I sold to my little brother’s best friend from high school), an HP Photosmart (which I’m selling BTW, $65 shipping/USB cord/instructions included, if you want pictures of the camera, comment!), and a Sony CyberShot I commandeered from my ma that my Kuya gave to her. I’m going to start using the CyberShot, but I don’t want to erase the pics she took of her and my dad’s trip to Hawai’i on the memory card that came with it.

Random musical gift: “Goldfish” by Siobhan Donaghy from her forthcoming album, “Ghosts.”

I can’t wait for this summer. I’m looking forward to doing absolutely nothing constructive, other than moving TKO to my server, and promoting P!ATD.nu.

*thinks*

The water park/pool is opening up in my community (which means I can get a proper tan this year, after suffering through 2 years of a disgusting Depot one).

I have rediscovered the power of recreational reading, and have finally learned my way around my local library. I never had a reason to go before, so I didn’t even sign up for a library card for the longest time. So if you have any reading recs, please share!!

I’m going to be making more layouts. No more crazy busy ones. Just simple and tasteful.

Spending time with T and my friends. I’ve been avoiding them too long, and I always had an excuse. Now, I don’t, lulz.

Rearranging my fall schedule to continue getting Thursdays and Fridays off.

Going to concerts (tentative schedule is as follows):

  • May 21 2007: Young Love @ Art Bar
  • Jun 1 2007: THE KILLERS @ Theater Under the Stars
  • Jun 8 2007: John Mayer @ Mandalay Bay Events Center
  • Jun 24 2007: Fall Out Boy @ Pearl @ the Palms

After a tumultuous semester of certain people, new jobs, and extenuating financial circumstances sucking the fun out of everything, I owe it to myself to just chill.
