There ya have it. My day in a nut shell. We really didn't need that much rain. Seriously.

P.S. Ryan walked behind me, and scared me as I was filming...

Boom.

Ever been scared shitless? Is that even a word? I mean, really scared. So scared, you just don't have time to react? But then you realize every thing is not what it seems? Where to begin.

So I'm having lunch with Dejuan and Camille today. Talking about this and that. Just being goofy and carefree. I've finished my sandwich from Subway, and I'm sipping on my water. Laughing at whatever Dejuan just said, when out of nowhere. There's this huge explosion, and a huge flash of light. I mean, I thought someone had a gun-explosion, and karma and just kicked my ass. Things got silent, and the lone lady sitting in the corner decided to scream after it had gotten quiet. Some guy pushed open the smoking room's door making in bounce off the wall, and flew into the hallway. I'm thinking, "You're such a dumbass, if someone's got a gun, you've totally just ran to them." He then makes some gesture, and we all know it's safe to move. We make our way into the hallway, and realize that the explosion has come from the electricity room. As we make our way out there, another one. I nearly pissed my pants.

So apparently, we weren't being shot at. We're doing some remodeling in our district office and restrooms, and well two men were working on making sure the power was turned off in that section of the store. Well in the process, one of the guys shocked himself. (He was fine, just pissed. Remember when you were little and you'd rub your feet across the carpet, and then shock your brother or sister? And it pissed them off? Cause it's not fun to be shocked. Well imagine being shocked, with enough power to turn off a whole store. Yeah he was not happy.) His only injuries seemed to be that his whole arm turned black. I'm not sure if this was bad or not? But he was livid. And of course, the most annoying people are questioning him.

After are hearts stopped beating like crazy, we started laughing. Dejuan turns to me and goes, we now have another memory. "The day we nearly pissed our pants." And from then on, every time Dejuan and I made eye contact, we'd just start laughing. And you know, telling this is making me laugh now. Margie's need to scream after the explosion has been the brunt of all our jokes, and I'm not sure why this is so funny. I mean, the man could have easily died. The power went out in the store, that's some high voltage there.

Today was the day, that I learned that my bladder does indeed work. Go bladder.

VT :(

I was driving home today, when I heard the news about the sad events that took place at the Virginia Tech campus. I didn't know details, but when "tragedy" and "Virginia" are used in the same sentence, I became worried. I immediately called my brother, who filled me in with what little information that he knew. I then called my dad, hoping he could fill me in with a few more details. All of this not really helping me.

Several students that I've gone to school with, do in fact go to Virginia Tech. My first thoughts were "do I know any of the victims?" And if so, can I handle this? Not knowing is always the toughest part. Several hours later, I have learned, that every student that went to JSB, has been accounted for. That phase is over. But what about the friends and family that won't get the same news that I have? I can only pray, and hope God lets them heal. I can't even imagine what everyone involved is going through. It's just unimaginable to me, that this could even happen.

VT of all schools. When tragedies hit, we always hear such a cliche statement. I've visited the school on several occasions, and have always been amazed by it's beauty and the people are always so nice. It's such a large campus, and trees everywhere. I love just walking around campus, with nothing on your mind. One of my last memories of being on campus was my senior year in high school. We were checking out some fair thing that Tech holds every year, and we then toured the campus. Well on the tour, my friend Elizabeth and I decided we'd rebel, and we got lost from our group. Lost meaning, we spent the rest of the tour having fun. We were in so much trouble, but it was worth it. My memories are now plagued with this tragedy.

RIP.

VT

Please pray that all my friends that go to Virginia Tech are safe and doing well.

Just for Tammy!

Bitch Slap.

I don't understand why people think they can bully me when I'm at work. If you raise your voice, I'm gonna raise my voice right back. I'm not going to stand there, and let someone "get the best of me". I am human, and I'm going to defend myself. It's who I am, and I won't change that about myself, just to please whoever. So there. Bitch can kiss my ass.

So I think the whole Don Imus thing is being taken way out of proportion. Ann Coulter made her gay slurs about John Edwards, Isaiah Washington made his about T. R. Knight, and Don Imus gets the ax. Maybe it's because I enjoy listening to Don Imus. But are we supposed to everything that Imus says seriously. He's a shock jock, a comedian, I just can't see how anyone can be taken so seriously. Sometimes we just need to have better judgment, and realize that we can't take things in normal perspective, he slipped, called some girls some "nappy haired hoes". Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson scream he should pay some sort of fine. To who? Them? There are other things that we need to worry about. Um, how about getting out of Iraq? I hear The Rutgers basketball team is going to be on Oprah sometime next week, or maybe they've already been on. But I'm sorry, I didn't see her running to John Edwards aide when he was indirectly called a faggot. I'm not condoning what he said, I just think it's double-sided when racial slurs are thrown. We all say things we shouldn't say. It happens. I've always been forgiven. Let's make it a public affair, next time I slip and offend someone. Maybe Oprah will have my victim on her show. I can't help but think that if Imus had been of color, this wouldn't be such a big deal. That's just my opinion, take it, or leave it.

Imus you so stupid.

I seriously have nothing else to bitch about. I've been in this mood. I'm really been surprised by it too. I'm usually not as snappy. Oh well...

I think it's finally time for bed. Enjoy your Friday the 13th. MUAHAHAHA.

I don't fly to other countries, what makes you think space travel is for me?

Nothing special about an Easter post.

First of all: Happy Easter and save the peeps for me.

Random post. It's crazy early, and I have nothing else to do. I took the longest nap ever, and now I'm wide awake watching my new favorite channel. I'm hooked on the Criminal and Investigation channel. I've been watching it for hours now. I'm hours away from lunch reservations, and well I could care less if I even showed up. Okay, I take that back. I'm kind of wanting to see if any drama goes down. It's been forever since we've all been together. We'll see. I almost feel evil. Maybe I should bring up politics. Two words to really fuck with some: Hilary Clinton. If the right words are said, I just might...MUAHAHAHAHA.

It snowed today while I was at work. WTF? It's April, it's Texas. This shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't be in winter apparel. It's just wrong.

So me being the child lover I am. HAHA. Had to take Easter bunny pics yesterday. Not so bad. Well, until this one girl felt the need to plop down in my lap. She was cute, so it's okay. Her cute little pig tails, and cute little grin, she was adorable. I don't say that about many kids. She was so terrified of the bunny, it was funny. But then again, I would have been afraid of the bunny too. It's kind of scary looking. Then these set of twins showed up. The little boy was very interested in what I was doing. Very in my face. And once again, adorable. I actually had fun with children. It's amazing. Most of the time, children and work, don't mix.

So I have this trip coming up in June. Then we have Chicago in July. I do believe this year will be the year most traveled. I'm still debating on where I want to spend Christmas. I kind of want to do the, fly somewhere warm, and spend Christmas in the sun, drinking whatever they place in my hand. We'll see. I might just try and make it to Virginia. (A big maybe.) I guess I kind of miss a few faces. I'm not sure about enduring the nasty weather though. I hate Virginia winters.

Enough of that. I really should try and get some sleep. Later loves.

Phone Whore Extraordinaire.

So I caved and bought myself yet another cell-phone. Seriously fuck my razr. I had that phone for about a year and a half. And near the end, the poor thing just wasn't performing. For such a hype, that phone was kind of lame. So I just added yet another dead phone to my collection. I am such a cell phone whore. I even paid extra to get an upgrade much sooner.

So I now say, fuck Motorola. I now own the white Samsung D807 slider phone. It's small and pretty. And best of all, it's not a Motorola. We'll see how loyal this phone will be. Hopefully I won't have any problems. So far, so good.

Speaking of cellphones, I need to pay my T-Mobile bill. It's early, but oh well. I need to do it, while it's on my mind, or I'll forget.

I'm back.

Rowan and I were hanging out last night. Suddenly midnight comes along and we decide to walk to Kroger's. Which is about a mile away. Midnight strolls to the grocery store are rather fun, until you've realized you needed milk. No one's really on the roads that late anyway, so we really enjoyed our peaceful rants on random things. It's actually rather relaxing, and good exercise at that. And honestly, it's really not all that dangerous. Well you must watch a few of those crazy drivers...

So I decided that American Idol does truly suck this season. I don't care how good Melinda or Lakisha are. I just can't make myself watch it. I did watch for Gwen Stefani the night she performed, but soon turned the channel after she was through performing. I just can't take the horridness.

Thanks to CC I'm back to watching The Osbourne's. I splurged and bought Seasons 1 through 2 1/2. And I really haven't stopped laughing. It's so amusing. Along with that purchase, I snagged a season of Hart to Hart, Janice Dickinson's Modeling Agency, From Here to Eternity, and Amy Winehouse's new CD. So I'm pretty much set for awhile.

Okay, so I'm getting bored. Looks like I might be heading to LA in like two months again. Score.

Ahhh, Cali.

Post #300.

First of all. I am alive and well. No one was harmed in the magnificent trip to California. My flight was quite smooth, and my luggage was not lost. So that made me quite happy. Though I can't say the same thing for Meli. Her flight was delayed, and she almost didn't have luggage. But we all made it to LA in one piece, and our little apartment was quite nice.

So our first day was spent in Beverly Hills, where CC and Meli got to experience watching the Days seminar, that Lo and I went to back in 2005, for the first time. Poor Pax, she was quite the trooper. And I must say, the people that work there are way cracked out. The lady working the front desk acted like she hadn't had any form of human contact in years, and the man working the TV's was rather weird. I must say, seeing that again, was rather humorous. It's fun to catch things you've missed, and laughing at people. We then made our way to the Cheesecake Factory, not before CC and a homeless guy got into it. The man had no right to question our not giving him any money. After all, who's the one begging for money?

Friday we made a long ass venture to Malibu, where we met Victoria (aka Hello Kitty) for lunch at Neptune's Net. I have to say, Drake makes a long venture to work, is it really all that necessary? Seriously, I don't travel that much in a week. The curvy roads and the mountains, made me feel like I was in Virginia for all of 5 minutes. Neptune's was rather tasty, and once again thanks Vic for picking up the tab. Very unnecessary. We took several pics on the beach, and interviewed this drunk homeless man. Can you believe he had no clue who Deidre Hall was? Gees. But he did know Days. HAHA. The houses were pretty, but I can't imagine living that close to someone. Believe it or not, but I like my space. After lunch, we made our way to Santa Monica, where we stopped and walked up the pier. After some graffiti, we made our way to the little Mexican place for some drinks. Then we made our way back home.

Saturday was spent on Rodeo Drive. After having our car valet parked. Oops. We made our way up the elevator to try and find this shopping extravaganza. I followed Pax's lead and we made our way up some escalator, only to find out, we were going the wrong way. You should have seen our crazy asses trying to run down the thing. But alas, we made it, and found ourselves in window shopping heaven. We then headed home, but not before we got Tony's, (the valet parking guy) number, never to see him again.

Sunday, we said goodbye to Mel. Such a sad day. We made our way back to Sunset, and did a bit more shopping. We had previously been to Sunset, but I can't remember which night that was on. But we had brought the video recorder, and did a bit of random interviewing. And just for future reference, Freddy Kruger was the only person who knew who Deidre Hall was. No one else had the slightest clue. Sunset was probably one of my favorite parts of the trip. So much to do. So little time.

When I mention this trip, I have to mention Target. We went to Target at least once every day of our trip. For starters. We needed a VCR/DVD player. Then we needed a few groceries. Then we needed pictures. Then we needed to return the VCR/DVD player. It's where I experienced Jamba Juice for the very first time. And I must say, it's not really all that impressive. It's where the little girl was amazed that my name was Zee. She was like, "Your name is Zee?" With such bewilderment. Like it confused her that my name was a letter. It's where we met Enrique/Ulysses, whatever his name is, and he gave us probably the best interview of the trip. He seriously still makes me laugh.

Each night was spent watching an abundance of tapes and DVD's. Whether it be John and Marlena clips, The Osbourne's, Hart to Hart, random interviews, etc. Things were bound to get crazy. And a conversation that sticks out the most, is when Meli told us about how her eye was sperminated. (Must I explain how this happened?) She was convinced that the sperms thought her eye was an egg, and they were trying to fertilize her eye. Whatever it was, it left her eye all red. I still think her eye got pregnant.

Monday morning we all left. I really haven't been that tired in a long ass time. I was so tired, I fell asleep on the plane, and woke up when they announced that we would be landing in DFW in 15 minutes. I do remember when we boarded in LAX, they told us to hurry and board when they called our group numbers, because we needed to get going because of bad weather. If I hadn't been so tired, I might have been nervous. Lack of sleep will do that to you. I must say though, LAX at 5 in the morning is crazy ridiculous. I waited in line for security for almost an hour. And tell me why only two lanes are open? Seriously. It is Spring Break.

I then arrived home to rain. Which totally sucked. And have yet to have any free time to myself until now. It seems as though, work decided to punish me for taking a week off. I just worked 7, 9 hour days in a row. And well, it totally blows. I want to be back in our little apartment in Hollywood Hills. Did you really believe we would stay in Santa Monica? Ploy. HAHA.

I did spend last night with Rowan. We both had worked 7-4, and I gladly brought her home. We were going to watch Blades of Glory with some friends, but were too tired to really get ready and go. So we lazed around the apartment, and then got out her new Wii, and played it for the first time. We had so much fun. I almost want to go out and buy one. We then got annoyed by her roomie, and finished our night with Krystal burgers. All together. It was a great night.

Sorry I haven't updated in what seems like forever. I haven't really felt up to it. I haven't felt like doing a lot of things. But that just comes with being me.

Mission Accomplished.

P.S. Tommy's Famous Burgers, should not be famous.
