back at school. >_

ok, this is a sleepy-excited totally material obsessed rant, so forgive whatever weird non-sense this might make!!

current obsession: sephora!!
so, I’ve been hunting high and low for a perfume I like (yes, I’ve been interested in perfumes!) for quite some time now, and I’ve finally FINALLY found a fragrance I really really like and I can wear without making myself sick!! I’m pretty sensitive to fragrances. some of them will make me ill (e.g. polo sport for me. if you wear it around me, I will run so fast away from you, I’d even have flo jo going “daaamn!”). but this week, I’ve found one I adore smelling and love smelling on me. alicia intro’d me to DKNY for women when I went shopping with her during our last vegas run (yes, I went again! more on that later!), and i thought it smelled terrific. then, after a little bit of hinting, my sister got it for me for christmas! I’ve been wearing a bit of it for the past couple of days and I really love it!! wheeee!!!

so, this continues with my obsession with fragrance and accessories and glamming it up. maybe it’s the holiday urge in me this break, but it’s been oh-so-fun! I’ve gotten really into scarves and hats. I got a really nice long winter coat from benetton (one of my favorite stores) for a really awesome price when I went outlet shopping in Primm, as well as some useful purses and wallets from Kenneth Cole (also a joyful new discovery!)

ahck, at this rate, I might as well just list my happy discoveries:
– salt and pepper mill in purple plastic. hehe.
– a STEEL meat hammer!! do you know how hard it is to find these things?!
– this amazing plum brown sparkly mascara by Bourjois Paris. the small lip gloss sample that came with it is also a delicious shade of pink that looks so cute!
– first leather purse.. kenneth cole… immensely useful…found it on clearance.
– silk/cashmere scarf from banana.. it’s so soft!
– black and grey beanie from gap
.. and that’s about it. =)

whee! I normally hate shopping, but ahh!! soo many goodies!!!!!!!!! =D

I’m looking at this blog right now, and I’m completely tired of my current design. auuugh. it’s definitely due for a major face-lift. -sob!!-

whining bits aside, I’m finally home after a week bumming around LA and vegas (yep.. again). I’m working on yer xmas cards right now! my apologies if you don’t get them by new year’s… or chinese new year’s.. or valentine’s day…. or st. patrick’s day… er…

I tend to be a little bit laggy with this stuff. -sheepish-

but you will get them! I’m missing a lot of your addresses, so if you can spare a moment, email me and remind me of where your address is. capeche? -wink-

Merry Christmas, everyone!

so I went to a christmas party last night. the only problem was, the party was broken up as soon as I got there. see, I basically saw a bunch of people there whom I knew but didn’t know other people also knew. so it was a “HEY!! What are YOU doing here?!” “WOW! you know so and so?? NO WAY!”

anyway, soon after I got there, the party was broken up (I swear, those are two UNRELATED events!), so we ended up moving the party to jack and den’s place on beloit. unfortunately, only about a third of the people from the other party went to this new party, so it was kinda eh. what was cool was that agnes and josephine were there, and I got to talk with them at length about various weird stuff, a lot of it pertaining to high school. (agnes went to high school with me; josephine is a year behind. on a side note, I think josephine is a pretty nice girl’s name! I’ve met a couple of really nice ones.) so after a few hours talking away about people and relationships and whatever stuff, we finally realized that we’d been completely ignoring the other people at the party and also that there weren’t that many people left at the apartment since most of them went to karaoke at yuu yuu. whoops.

we karaoked till about 3am maybe.. headed back to beloit and just chilled. man, it’s good to be out of school. :)

finals week is OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

… Well, almost. My roommate Keiko still has one more left at 3 (one more hour!). Jenn and I were done Wednesday, so we’ve been free for a little while. But it’s not nice to gloat!!

So now it’s time to be FUNNING!! It’s a shame a bunch of people have left already — jason left today, amy left yesterday, etcetc — so the funning will be smaller, but not any less harder. -wink-

(wait, I just read what I wrote. does that sound dirty? -blinks- it’s not supposed to…)

Anyway, I’m about to head out right now, since Deeps is going to India today (So excitinggg!!) and I gotta help him finish his grad school applications before he leaves.

HAVE A GREAT BREAK, KIDS! :D

it’s finals week
good luck to everyone on finals~!! :D

warning: utterly boring blog again.
(I should just call this one brain droppings)

totally tired, but not from studying too much. In fact, I haven’t studied nearly enough (so what else is new?). I just got back from attempting to study at taylor’s place with mick.

[[ brain fried ]]
[[ tirrrrred ]]

been so busy running around… too tired to say anything! will fill in updates about thanksgiving at a later time.

Vegas, baby! Vegas!
And of course, to everyone, Happy Turkey Day~!!!! :D

just a spiffy story.. thought I’d share.

joy~!!
so yesterday was one of the highlight days of my life. First off, the paper I had due yesterday: I turned that baby IN~!! WHOO!! (hehehe I even worked in a page relating Diablo 2 to medieval lore/legend.. hahaha!!). Mick and I had to run our papers to the TAs, but it was all good. -whew!-

and AFTER I turned my paper in, I went to see U2 at the staples center!! and it turned out that deeps and his coworker friend silpesh (who had also gone to Area:One with us a few months ago) had waited in line since 7:30.. and they’d saved spots for me and silpesh’s friend krewpali (sp?): deeps was number 68… i was number 69 in line!!! HOW AWESOME WAS THAT??

and this time, instead of repeating our running the wrong direction in san diego and failing to get into the heart, we ran the RIGHT way. =) We staked out spots by the walkway a little bit to the right of the point in the heart, and we stayed there rapturously for most of the evening. it was a totally sublime experience. :) The heart was more crowded than it was in San Diego, but the vibe was still cool. I love U2 fans!! There’s so much love and community, man!! (yeah!!!) It was neat — we ran into a bunch of people we saw at other shows: “say, weren’t you in anaheim?” “yeah! we were next to each other in line!” “yeah, that SD show was great!” and so forth. =) another funny thing: people call deeps and me crazy for going to all these U2 shows (“what, you’re seeing them THREE times?? you’re crazy!!”), except at concerts — and especially among those inside the heart — it’s totally normal to see people who’ve gone ridiculous numbers of times. a woman named sonia did saw them 40 times, 20 of them for the elevation show. we met a woman who flew all the way to ireland for the slane show. we met a guy named patrick who’s also gone a ridiculous number of times. it’s amazing. see?? we’re not that bad!!!!
