An update - wow!!

OMG I'm blogging. I didn't go to work today; I'm sick. Not so sick that I'm dying and just want to sleep, but sick enough. Plus, it's contagious, so even if I felt better it wouldn't be nice of me to go spread it at work.

Anyway, not a whole lot has been going on. Mostly I just work, and then come home and veg. I'm very exciting like that.

Let's see... The last movie I saw was Eastern Promises. I actually really liked it. I recommend it. I should warn you that it's pretty intense and violent (which you will know if you've seen other David Cronenberg movies), but it's really interesting and well done.


I haven't really blogged about what's been happening with my life. So let's recap! Let's see- In May I started my current job, working for the County of San Diego. I work in a really neat office, everyone's nice, and the phone is not ringing off the hook! It's awesome. In May (before my job started) it was also my first anniversary with Erik <3 He's awesome :)

June was pretty uneventful for the most part, though we did get to go to the Del Mar Fair (I'm sorry, it's just not the "San Diego County Fair" to me) twice, once for free! I ate lots and lots of fair food and I loved it.

July would have been pretty uneventful as well, except I was summoned for Jury Duty and since I work for the County now I have no real reasons to be excused :( So I had to go. I didn't actually get selected but I did have to go 4 days in a row, because the selection process was taking that long. It was insane! They were just dismissing potential jurors left and right, and so the rest of us had to keep going. At the end, there were only like 10 of us (out of like 100) that never were called up front. I didn't actually hate the whole experience, and the cool part is that I started reading the Harry Potter novels. The first day I didn't bring anything to read (I'm dumb) so I had to run over to Horton Plaza, and bought the first one. Well, I got hooked, darn you J.K. Rowling!! I have read 6 of the 7 books now, and I'm kind of saving the last one. I'm a nerd.

August flew by like no one's business, though I again did not do anything eventful. At the end of August we went to Disneyland again, and it was the best. I had just been thinking how nice it was that we did not have a horribly hot summer, when Labor Day weekend rolled around and screamed heat at me. Of course, the one year I decide not to have a pool party for my birthday is the 2nd hottest day of the year. Oh yeah, I'm old now (29). Where does time go. Didn't I start this when I was 23?? Geez. Anyway, the 1st hottest day was actually the next day, September 3rd, and I did go swimming. Stupidly, Erik and I did not wear sunscreen (our brains had melted with the heat, so we weren't thinking) and proceeded to get the worst sunburn in the world. It's so weird to think that was just under a month ago, because it really feels so far away. September wasn't exactly slow or fast, but here we are. In September Erik and I started walking. Nothing fancy, just around my neighborhood. It's actually pretty nice. We go in the evening, after dinner, and just stroll. I hope we continue doing this, eventually building up an exercise routine.

And now it's October. This month is looking to be good, I hope. On the 18th we're going to see Jersey Boys!!! I'm quite excited about that. I'm a bit sad it won't be with the original cast, but it should still be fantastic.

So there you have it, the last 5 months of my life in a few paragraphs. Wake up, now.

8 more

I'm so bored right now. Anyway, my brother has now tagged his buddy list on this game, however his requested 16 random things. Since I already did 8, I'm going to do just 8 more. Some I "stole" from his list; we are related after all, we share some things :p

Here goes:

9) Like most women (and, apparently, my brother) I have way too many pairs of shoes, but somehow wear the same 3-5 pairs all the time.

10) My favorite story ever in life is Stephen King's It. I've seen the movie over 100 times (not kidding), and I've only read the book once but it's huge!! It took me like 6 months. I'm going to read it again as soon as I'm done with the Harry Potters.

11) I don't like most condiments. The only one I use is mayonnaise. That's right, I don't eat ketchup, mustard, relish, salsa...

12) Along those lines, I'm probably the only Mexican (well, and my brother) who doesn't like guacamole.

13) I hate, HATE HAAAAAAAAAATE pickles. I can't even be in their vicinity. Those huge plastic barrels with the huge pickles at amusement parks? They give me nightmares.

14) I plan meals around dessert. Before ordering at a restaurant, I see what desserts they have. I need something sweet!

15) I can eat pizza any day, any time. Pepperoni and bacon, mmm.

16) Unlike people who get bored when they have nothing to do, I am completely happy that way. I could read all day, and nap, and read, and eat, and nap... Sigh. I need to win the lottery.

Alright, there are 8 more. I'm not tagging anyone because, well, there's no one else to tag!

8 randoms

Alright, alright, I'm here. I do have tons to post about, just haven't had the time/initiative to do it. I'd like to update you about what's going on in my life but then I get complaints about how long my posts are. I post rarely these days, but when I do post I like it to be QUALITY. This is obviously not good enough for you lot. Well, poop to you, here's a shorter post, and not big on quality. Do not complain, that's what you get :p

This is a game, and at the end the people I have chosen have to play. Be nice!

I was tagged by Reggy aka fragileheart. :)

RULES:
1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.
3. At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment and tell them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.


MY 8 RANDOM FACTS/HABITS
1. I can fall asleep almost anywhere. I've fallen asleep at parties, concerts, etc. On purpose, too, not just because I was bored. I was tired and sleepy, and wanted to rest.
2. Despite #1 above, I am really annoyed by loud noises. I can hear a deep bass sound even when others don't (or aren't bothered by it), and it annoys me to no end. I'm not made for apartment living which is very unfortunate as I can't afford anything else at this time.
3. I make myself laugh a lot. I'm hilarious.
4. When I was younger (much, much younger and thin), I was told a lot that I looked like Julia Roberts.
5. I tend to keep to myself a lot, and I've been told this makes me look "independent". In reality, though, I get lonely and could use more support. I'm just too lazy to do anything about it. (I'm too lazy to do anything about almost everything! Ha.)
6. I rarely drink soda, and when I do it's usually root beer or orange.
7. I love to cook, and especially bake, and I'm really awesome at it (and modest).
8. I love Nintendo games, and my favorite character ever is Wario:


Alright, there you go. Now Ady, Angel, Nay, Chowi, Encanto, Andy, and Goldennib: You're It! Aww, I'm one short. I need more friends.
