Yeay, I made it to my honey and his daughter on Sat. Its been soo good to be back with him, his daugter and the rest of his close family. I decided to be brave(bad me) one day and go off in his big truck and get a feel for the town, butI did get lost several times in his big truck(big truck=scary) once, plus i am a new driver, so that was all interesting. Anyway,it all worked out and I will get used to all these new things eventually. It is still good to be here:)

Mon, 30 Aug 2004 05:44:08 GMT

wow, its been like ages since i updated. Well, i just finished having a mostly marvelous summer with my fiance. We had some rather frustrating and trying moments, but we got through them. Today, my fiance left, sadly. But hes gotta get back, I may see him next week, lets hope so.

As far as the job front, I am looking for a new job, a higher paying one, so I can actually get my butt out to southern california, where i wanna be, so I can start my career.

Can i just say, i got soo hooked on the Olympics, I wish it could go on forever. And can i just say prolly along with many other women, Ian Thorpe is such a hottie, and such a seemingly humble guy. Man i love hot aussie guys. Love Hugh Jackman too. Sorry mark, about this guy bantering. I love you and only you, no worries, you're my man forever.

Well, thats all for now.

Sun, 27 Jun 2004 04:59:18 GMT

ahh, quality time with my boy for more long term. Its been lovely. Much needed indeed. Work is going well, its retail, but I like where I work so its fine. I can't wait to find out more about the actual career I am interested in going into. I have some contacts, yeay. Well, das ist alles.

aww

Fri, 11 Jun 2004 05:07:03 GMT

My boy was here for a wee bit, we had marvelous much needed moments together, and he will be back in a week yeay. Aww, i just love him soo much. Sorry i have to be all gushy.

walked in grad

Tue, 08 Jun 2004 00:23:09 GMT

So, i went to my former college this weekend to walk in graduation. I actually already got my diploma in Sept 2003 but couldn't walk till June due to some Prin rules. Anyway, I am so glad I went to walk. It was really neat to get to see people again and to wish those graduating well in their various endeavors. It also felt good to be a part of the graduation ceremonies as a grad. Though, i do still feel that my school has some inconsistencies in how they go about their so called mission, I did feel the admin, pres, etc, was really proud of each and every one of us. And they weren't just expressing it just for appearance. So, yeah, it felt really neat to go to all the events and to especially walk across that stage. Hehe, i actually already got my diploma in Sept, so i got a blank one. But still to walk across that stage, with people clapping and cheering and then shaking the presidents hand and feeling like for once he really was proud of me and us all, was really good.

Ofcourse, as is always implied, I was soo happy to get to see my boy. Aww, i love him soo much. Well, thats all.

Tue, 01 Jun 2004 07:01:45 GMT

Grr, didn't look like my last post went through, either that or my computer is really lagging. So in case it didn't quote i will post again, sorry if its a repeat.

So, here are some quotes I really like:

By a Vietnam War vet whose name i can't remember sadly. He did win a medal of honor, I am pretty sure however. This quote is advice to those soldiers fighting now and possibly to young people in general.:
"If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there."

"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die." ~G.K. Chesterton

memorial day

Tue, 01 Jun 2004 03:35:15 GMT

I often don't come across any vets in general and certainly not on memorial day. I was at a garden theme park type place today and one of the garden volunteers I found out was a WWII vet. Before even knowing he was a vet, I noticed how much passion he had for sharing what he knew about these cool exotic plants that were growing. He just loved sharing and had such a happy demeanor about him. When I found out he fought in Trinidad at one point and then went over to France, well, i was just soo grateful he was there at these gardens to tell about it and there loving life and nature around him. He pointed out that wherever he was there was no fighting, to paraphrase him, he said it as if an angel was watching over him. I just gotta know these same angels were watching over all the other soldiers then and watching over all the soldiers in wars after WWII. I noticed that this man seemed to go on with life, and that he prolly embraced it right after, well, he certainly is now. I just had soo much love for what he did and love for his passion of life now.

I also talked to an awesome guy(Stew) across the street who flew , i think various bomber planes in the pacific during WWII. I noticed, before talking to him, on his garage, a memorium for someone. As I got closer to it, I noticed it was a memorium of a lieutenant, who i thought was prolly one of Stew's buddies. Indeed as Stew said, this was one of his buddies who lost his life instantly while on the bomber plane. He was only 20:( I'll paraphrase Stew, he noted, why would they stick a 20 year old on one of these planes. He appeared teary eyed. My heart reached out to him. And how wonderful that Stew holds a place for this man always. A good buddy he must have been:) I just wish history wouldn't keep repeating itself and seem to just get worse. Anyway, I must do my prayerful work. I am truly grateful for all those who served and are serving now.

career paths

Sun, 30 May 2004 05:16:23 GMT

Its now been almost a year since I finished school, and still no set careers as of now, but thats ok. I am so grateful to have ideas of what i wanna pursue or look into, and to actually be very excited about it.

So yeah, though, i am at square one right now, I really want to look into the performing arts area of casting. I just have this passion for people watching/observing. I love seeing talent or noticing it in someone that maybe noone else sees. I just have this drive to read the unknown or known stories that are out there and to envision people playing these characters within these stories. I have this drive to use my intuition to just naturally see exciting moments being shared between audionee and audience(me)etc. Anyway, i definitly want to look into seeing if I could do an internship or an apprenticeship with a casting director somewhere, someplace. I will make coffee, copys, etc, so as to learn how this all works. Well, as you can see, I am very intrigued by this casting business.Although, it is a harsh world, cut throat at times maybe, i still wanna see what its all about. One can make it work harmonionsly if its right.

As far as work, it has its challenges, but I still like where I am. I love the clothes, the people, atmosphere. Its retail, bleh, but not a bad place to be storewise. Well, das ist alles.

Wed, 12 May 2004 04:28:39 GMT

So, I got a job, finally. I like where I am working thus far. Cash register is interesing but should get easier. Then the cash register system is changing in a month.

Anyway, life here in Palo Alto just keeps going, it goes. I may not see me boy much this summer, so that puts a bit of a damper on things anyway we shall see about seeing me boy in summer. But i do get to see him in less than 4 weeks yeay.

Haha, I did the job predictor thing and it was interesing. Apparently as far as Meg Barrett goes, I will be a prostitute. When i put in my full name I will be a trained assasin. Man, i will be dangerous either way. Interesting...

Well, thats all.

Fri, 30 Apr 2004 21:22:09 GMT

Well, alas, I am 24 today, hehe. Not a big deal number or anything and not really like age matters, but yeah, here I am, 24:) Its been a good day thus far:) And Spader tonight yeay, lyra(wink)

Down In Flames by Mindy Smith

I don't usually take chances
Most would easily agree
Something in your eyes
Is saying you can ease my heartache
I have a hurting inside

And I know you're just a stranger
If you can't I'll understand
There's too many times I've lost
My chance to talk with an angel
Too many to count

Chorus 1:
And life's so hard
It's the little things that seem to be getting me today
Yeah, life's so hard
But I'm doing what I can not to be getting down
While I'm going down in flames
Going down in flames

And I would tell you I am happy
If I wasn't so damn sad
And the lonliness both
Overwhelms and keeps me empty
That's how it's been for a while

Repeat chorus 1

I need some direction
I need someone to listen
Someone to tell me they know that

Chorus 2:

Life's so hard
It's the little things that seem to be saving me today
And life's so hard
And I'm doing what I can
And I'm doing what I can
And I'm doing what I can
I'm putting out the flames

I love this song for many different reasons. One of the reasons why I love this song is because I really relate to it because I have felt this way many times before. The last part of the song I've felt recently:) And even a bit now. I love Mindy Smith:)

intriguing

Wed, 28 Apr 2004 04:55:56 GMT

Well, i have been researching more career options and i have to say these options definitely interest me in many ways. Some things I am not sure about, but still lots of aspects sound really interesing to me. I shall have to start contacting companies get info and whatnot. Interning would be marvelous.

Its just nice to know that these things sound exciting me to, that I am finding new paths to explore. Yeay.

spring

Sun, 25 Apr 2004 23:46:58 GMT

I just have to say I love spring in Northern California, well atleast the part of spring where its warmer and breezy.

Anyway, still looking for a job, have some ideas, we shall see. As for other things going on, I decided to walk in my college's June graduation yeay. I grad. in Sep. but couldn't walk till this June. Grr, prin icky writing requirements, and they are even worse now then the program I was on. But anyway, there are good parts to the requirement, but icky stuff too.

I must say, it will be nice to walk and to see well, my lovely beautiful fiance, that's obvious that will be awesome. Plus its gonna be lovely to see buddies I havn't seen or talked to in while. And some people I think I will see for the last time, or atleast it will be a long time till i see various people again after grad. But it is time for all of us to move foward in our lives, so its a good thing people are going on, just would be nice to know i might see them again later, and see where they have gone in their journeys of after college adult life.

Anyway, on a more random note compared to above, I must say James Spader rules and movie nights have been fun:) Lyra(wink, wink)

Well, das ist alles.
