Thindercats, HO!

I guess I am going to be taking that back to best buy... my dad is more concerned with me spending money and not with me having given him a birthday present. The idea was gotten across though; he did aappriciate it, he just doesn;t believe he's going to watch it more than once, and he's right, he gave himself more than I did on that one. I didn't even expect him to watch it once. It's freakinf rustrating though, that man is impossible to shop for. I don't know what to get him, I don't know what to make him. We get him the same crap every year adn he's never excited or impressed. It sucks. My one direct hit, and I'm shot down. I'm okay though.... just really frustrated. This is getting really frustrating.

Today has been good so far. I was a little frustrated yesterday because I just was not on it at crew (didn't help that they weighed us on tuesday... or monday. I really dont remember) adn just really wasn't doing good at all. Today, however, we did head races and let me tell you; our boat was all over it! It was really good, practically set; I did catch one crab, but i was able to fix it myself, Michelle caught one too which I helped resolve, but we beat the novice boat which is always good. Then Steve went out of his way to pull his truck up to me to tell me how good I did today and that I am being moved back to 5 seat... yay! Still the engine, but hell, at least it's the upper engine. Bunching all the mostly varsity members togather... makes me feel less like a freak. :P

I also went grocery shooping yesterday at Trader Joe's... and I only spent $20! Yeah! So awesome! Got me some strawberries.... which are quite good. Picked me up some seasonal cliff bars as well. Not to mention my pizza burger patties and sprouted wheat granola bagles. I know, I'm a freak. :D

Halloween....

was a bust. I royally messed up this year. I even had a decent costuem together too. But I am okay with it; after talking to my mom(who seemed more bummed than me) on my 3 hour drive from the boathouse to my appartment(longest yet!) and then to John, I am okay. I was having my emo-drive-of-halloween-shame from Irvine(don't even ask), with an emo blog all ready written and edited in my mind fresh and ready for the typing. But I am okay now. Somehow, when I should be super bummed, others sometimes take the bumming for me. I mean honestly, my mom was way more upset than I was about me driving in my car with my costume on for 3.5 hours for no reason thatn I was. I got some good pictures, which I will post later, and I looked awesome. It's too bad that I was only able to share it with my rather un-festive roommate; but that's okay. Consoling thoughs over my misadventures seems to make me more cheery, seeing as how I have to be the one to put a positive spin on things. I like it that way though, it's good practice for me. :)

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

Is looking to be real good. Got some cleaning, got homework, I plan on going to target for some pumpkin carving materials at some point and going that too. Then I'm just going to kick it.

Yesterday was great. Went out to see John, watched on of the coolest movies ever, finally won an argument too.(not that I ever lose those, I just don't articulate my amazing pursuesive skills all the time. :) Then we rocked miniature golfing. And by rocked; I mean were pretty much the best miniature golfers ever. For reals. I promise. No joke. For sure..... and then we went to dinner, spending money on me like I don't like, but spending time with me like do. Then we just kinda hung out. I had a lot of fun. :D And guess what? I get to go back tuesday adn show off my 50's housewife halloween costume too! This is just tuurning out to be an wesome week!

I like the way in the past year or so I have met two people who have changed me a lot, but not in a bad way. It more of pushing me to be a better me, and I am really glad that I have them. I havn't had people like this for a while and I am gratful I finally do again. :)
