(yes, I am this bored with nothing to do to write two entries in one day)
I've been listening to The Wanted's EP through Youtube videos all day. And I must say, I LOVE it. Every song sounds so good. They're catchy and dancey and some give me a happy feeling. And I love the music videos. They're also really good to watch. Ahhhh, I've found a new summer album!
EDIT 7/23: So I actually purchased the album off Amazon when I got home. I have never purchased a digital album online before. But it was only like, $4! Best quality and I support the band. I've been listening to it non-stop whenever I get in my car!
Okay, that's it...bye! ♥

tattoo
So I went ahead and got my tattoo last night. I think I decided by the end of Tuesday that I wanted to just get it already.
It says, "take to the sky" and I found a font I liked. It's from the Owl City song, "To The Sky" from the movie, Legend of the Guardians. Everytime I hear that song, it makes me feel happy and sometimes reminds me of the movie. The movie was absolutely beautiful visually. The time it must've taken to do whatever they needed to do to get all the details of individual feathers on the owls is probably ridiculous. But the end result is amazing. I've always had a thing for flying, since it's not something humans can do naturally, and I'm sure half the world has this fascination as well, but the song and movie just lets me believe certain things for a little bit. Like they could be possible. And right now, I smile everytime I look at it. I'm glad I got it.

life...
is so freaking interesting. Sometimes, it's surreal. No, really.
Also, I've started to realize that, I don't take some things as seriously as I probably should. Yeah, sometimes I seem like a hard-ass, stick in the mud, who gets all bent out of shape over the slightest deviation from a plan, but that's when it involves other people. It's hard to explain, but I noticed it's when I'm central in the situation or when I'm the decision maker. The only couple of examples I have (that I can think of right now) may not be the best since they're similar and might just be a coincidental pattern, but here they are:
When it came time to deciding where to go for high school or college, I honestly didn't have a direction. I just kind of went with the flow and went where my friends went. When I was asked in my high school interview, why I chose that school, I honestly didn't have an answer. I already used the standard, "I heard it's a good school, I got good recommendations, good learning environment, etc" so when I was asked for something else, I actually froze. I sat in that chair, for what seemed like 30 minutes (but really was probably 3 mins...which is longer than the comfortable, socially acceptable allotted time), between my parents who were probably panicking because I wasn't answering. I never did answer that particular question. I sat there long enough where the teacher gave me a break and said we could move on.
I think college might have been a little worse, but maybe not so much at the same time. Easier, because if you graduated high school, passed your SATs/ACTs, and were only trying to get into some CSU school, you got in. Worse, because by the end of high school, I was only doing enough work to get by. I really didn't care after a certain point. I was undecided on a college and I think I just settled on CSU Long Beach because a friend was going there (which, in the end, she didn't end up going to after all).
And a few other little things (or maybe not so little in actuality), I've noticed I don't take so seriously. That's why I say it sometimes seems surreal. People making such a big fuss over some things that seem kind of trivial in the end. Or maybe...I don't know. I think I'm thinking too much again. God, I sound like a freaking hippie.
I think I've come close to a decision on my next tattoo! I know what, where, and I think I've decided on the font. I just have to stop being lazy and actually go to a place and get it done.
Okay, that should be enough for now...bye! ♥

happy july
aaand now it's July.
So Anime Expo has come and gone again. It...wasn't the best AX I've been to. First off, the X Games were the same weekend, in the SAME AREA. So we were basically forced to take the long way around everything to get to the convention center. We stayed at the JW Marriott for convenience and we didn't exactly get to experience it. Which means we'll just have to stay there again next year! =P
We got there kind of late on Friday. Actually, just late enough where we missed the closing time for badge pick-up. Which meant we couldn't go to the AMVs, which was one of the few things I actually wanted to do. As for my outfits, I wore my gypsy skirt with a reddish-orange tank (folded up to show some tummy), and some of those super flat sandals with white straps I found at Payless for $9! I was kind of going for a summery look with the bright top and accessories. My other outfit was a black, bodycon dress with my stripe blazer and stripe Litas. I put my hair in a high ponytail and wore red lipstick. I think it was pretty cute. Too bad I don't have a full-body shot of the whole outfit. George says that means I'll just have to wear it again and we'll have a photoshoot.
The only other thing I wanted to do was go support Tweek when he DJ'ed the dance. The dance line was ridiculously long! We were honestly in line longer than we stayed at the dance. And the dance line was probably more fun. As the line got smaller and people were getting bored and antsy, we started making our own entertainment. People would run up and down the lines trying to get the wave going. We would just yell and make the whole place echo (I don't know if it was from something, but it was fun). Well, we got to the front of the line JUST as it turned 12am and Tweek's set ended. He was outside the door as we were being let in! We decided to stay and enjoy a little bit since we did wait all that time. We danced and got nice and sweaty, then left only because we had to pee.
And the rest was okay.
July 4th was interesting. For the past 5 years, I had always been at AX so I never thought about what to do. But since it decided to fall on a freaking Wednesday this year, I was kind of at a loss what to do. Luckily Kelly had one of her small, last minute "parties" at her place. We ate pizza on the roof while watching fireworks (my first time on a roof!), and later lit our own. George had his camera so we had fun trying to spell stuff out with sparklers.
Then we played soda/water pong. That got a little difficult later because it was just so much soda. At the very end we just started bouncing ping pong balls off the walls trying to make it into cups scattered across the table.
On Saturday I went to Disneyland again with my coworker. It was fun. I think we did a lot. I can't tell anymore unless I sit down and count what we did. We didn't watch any nighttime shows, but we watched the Aladdin show. We had about 2 rides breakdown while we were in line and 1 was broken when we got to it. We eventually went back and rode everything. I was so tired though. I didn't get very good sleep much of last week and I only got about 4 hours before Disneyland.
The rest of my Saturdays in July are now pretty booked. This Saturday is my company barbeque, next Saturday is Kelly's barbeque party, and the week after that is beach day!!! I REALLY hope the weather is nice that day. I hope the weather is nice all month. All summer!
