ok im short on time so ill make this quick.. my life is chaos! for a change i actually dont feel like getting into all the details right now but.. so me and darren split up, just for a while, i mean i love the guy to death.. but shit happens, right? im actually going to the airport tonight to pick him up after his week long trip out to vegas, so we're still cool and all..
anyway, other than that, guys suck.. i finally figured out what lori and grace were always complaining about.. ive only been "single" here for a few weeks but thats been enough time to remind myself that i was never missing out on much..
someone ill refer to as TH has been a good friend through all of this though, constantly reminding me of what i had and what i still could have back, although im sure those arent his intentions ;)
anyway, i picked up some pics and had them put on a disc so my computer illiterate self tried to post them here for all to see but i guess theyre too big.. oh well thats shit..

never before have i wanted so badly to start drinking at 10am
thank god the election is finally over!! on to more important things...
so me being the complete shoe slut that i am, i decide to wake up extra early tuesday morning to stand in line at the voting booth and swing by a local shoe store.. nobody there but me and the clerk...
ugh ive had to tell this story so many times by now..
so long story short, crazy lady with a gun, frightened shopkeeper not able to do anything but stand and scream, and me thinking, "of all days to go shopping, why today??" in the end everything turned out to be fine.. and by fine i mean nobody got hurt..
alright i really am sick of talking about that whole story but i figure my adoring audience deserves to know i almost died!! shouldnt you be calling me right now to tell me how much you love me!! shouldnt you be telling me how worthless your life would be if i had gotten blown to bits?? at least call to say hi...

I finally got my voters registration card in the mail the other day.. i initially registered when i got my california license, but the card they sent back to me had jengiffwr wyuikkghaby... needless to say, that is not my name...
when i was younger i guess you could say that i was a liberal.. you know the type, peace on earth, free healthcare for everyone, illegal imigrants? let them on in! then i slowly started to get sick of listening to the same repetitive shit on the radio so one fine day last year i tuned into the am dial.. eventually the words of people like rick roberts, sean hannity, and even bill o'reilly started to make some sense.. i then became a moderate, which really is my true nature anyway, i can see both sides to each and every situation you throw at me.. i may wholeheartedly feel a certain way about a subject, but when it comes down to it, im able to understand somewhat at least where the idiot on the other side of the fence is coming from.. so in no way mistake me for a softie or someone who cannot take a stance.. anyway, as the months to election day decreased i knew eventually i would have to start making some decisions.. the easiest of which was to either vote or not vote.. DUH..
the way i see it, my kind is a very underrated and unpandered to group.. not many (powerful) politicians are out there campaigning to me; a 21 year old female working retail, an ethnic minority(mutt), who has not even finished college.. the reason being is that im not considered to be a "likely voter" reason being, i havent voted in the past 2 elections.. well no shit! do the math asshole! another reason, i live in california, a highly liberal democratic state... Kerry figures he already has all the electoral votes from here, why does he give a damn about campaigning in a state that hes already won? Bush knows Kerry already has this state, so his focus is on those cherished swing states.. so knowing all of this, i still decided to vote, knowing eventually i will be considered one of those "likely voters" and quite possibly living in a swing state myself (not florida)..
there was a time not so long ago when i was one of those "ANYBODY but Bush" people.. the kind with no hard reason whatsoever for wanting to put a complete moron in the most powerful position in the world.. Coco the chimp could have been on the democratic ticket with the unabomber as VP and i would have still cast my vote in their favor.. thankfully now i have a little common sense.. but i made the choice to decide what MY values are and base my decision accordingly..
as many things there are that i do not agree at all with Bush, as much as i feel that he may have some ulterior motives, i have to choose what i think is best not just for me, but for my country.. yes this is MY country.. and im proud of that.. i may have once been a cynic who was quick to point out every little thing that was wrong and whose fault it was.. now i still believe there are things that are wrong here, but thats life.. the only real choice to make is not if there are bad things in the world, but who do you want to lead us to make them more tolerable for this nation as a whole.. if any candidate could claim to make all university tuition free and have corporate ceos pay for my new beamer out of their salary, i still could not vote for them because i value that each and every person here has the same responsibility for holding their own.. it would be nice to make the rich pay for 80% of the nations expenses, but if i were part of that rich class i would not think so.. making them pay for everything is not going to benefit the entire nation.. nor is ignoring the very real threat of terrorism as a "nuisance" and losing sight of the fact that we are all similar in that we are Americans.. this is a mostly democratic country and i would like to keep it that way.. no way in hell can you run for President without even having a realistic platform.. healthcare for everyone and being a vietnam veteran alone is not a good enough reason for any sensible people to elect anybody, especially when he has already had his chance in the senate to make some changes and blew that.. George Bush has made mistakes, fine that much i can agree to, but tell me exactly what you are realistically able to do that can make it better and i might reconsider the name i check off on that ballot

i'll drag her out of that state by the hair if i have to
my mother has drove me nuts for the last time! i am using this valuable space and my valuable time to announce to the world that my mother is crazy.. i love the woman to death but she is definately not the most logical person i know.. now we all have our faults, and ill be the first to admit (most of) mine, but who the hell doesnt bother boarding up their windows or at least evacuate when a category 3 hurricane is headed directly toward you? let me tell everyone the entire story..
a few weeks ago hurricane frances was making her way through much of the state of florida(aka the penis of the US), millions were told to evacuate, many smart people did evacuate, my mother did not.. so i spent my entire shift at work glued to the tv flipping between msnbc, cnn, and foxnews.. eventually the storm passed through and i had a stern talk to my mother, the queen of understatements ("oh it was just a little rainy and windy")
fast forward to this past weekend where i had been too sick with a headcold (damn santa anas) and too busy (damn happy hour) to even pay attention to what was going on outside of my own little world.. saturday night comes along and i turn on the tv as i lay down in bed and what do i see? "HURRICANE JEANNE JUST MADE LANDFALL" i didnt even know there was a hurricane jeanne much less one that was heading to hit florida again.. so there i am intensely watching and listening to those damn idiots grasping onto their microphones and trying to keep from blowing away right there on national television and i notice that this hurricane is heading directly toward the small redneck town my mother and brother like to call home.. so i gave her a call, i didnt give a fuck that it was 3:30 in the morning over there, I was nervous.. so yes, i did have to wake her up from her sleep, and no, she didnt even know if the hurricane was there yet because she was asleep. "are your windows boarded up?" i asked, "no its fine" was all she could say.. "but i did move my truck to the side of the house in case a tree falls over" she added.. WHAT THE HELL?? who gives a damn about the truck, now the damn tree is gonna fall on the house!
so there you have it, the storm went away as quickly as it came with nothing more than some loose branches flying around and a few bent street signs.. but ill tell you what, the next time i hear of a damn hurricane going towards my mothers house again, you bet your ass she and my little brother are on the first plane out headed nonstop to san diego!

biggest freakin spider ever!!
so there i am last night, enjoying my panda express while watching the boob tube with darren, when my celly rings.. so i jump up to answer it and proceed to go to the kitchen.. a few minutes later i hear darren scream.. now darren is in no way a scaredy cat or easily frightened, so i figured he must be yelling at the padres game.. so when he tells me that theres the biggest spider hes ever seen crawling around my living room, my first reaction is to scream at the top of my lungs.. now i live on the edge of a desert like canyon, spiders do pop in from time to time.. but in no way was i prepared for the TARANTULA that was now creepy crawling down my hallway.. i really mean a real bonafinde tarantula, the kind of shit you see on the national geographic channel.. great big body, huge fangs, furry legs and all.. just writing my account of this is making my skin crawl.. so between the two of us screaming our heads off and pouring buckets of sweat, i have no idea how we managed to get the damn thing out of the house.. oh, and when i say WE i actually mean darren, my freakin hero! so of course i could not fall asleep to save my life and ended up with a good 4 hours of sweaty sleep before i had to make a 5am trip to los angeles.. hopefully ill catch up on some sleep tonight since i get to go to the airport tomorrow morning to pick my JEFFY!! normally after the end of a blog i like to post a related picture, but no way in hell do i need a reminder of possibly the scariest single moment in my life, so heres something sweet for all you fans..

i hate parking on the street
havent written in here in a while, i know you all must miss my ramblings ;) darren has been looking for a new apartment.. probably in pb (pacific beach for all you non californians).. now heres the thing, pb is a great place to live as far as the entertainment and beach goes.. just blocks away from all the bars and clubs galore.. the drawback is that youre just blocks away from all the bars and clubs galore..
last friday we decided to head out to typhoon saloon on garnet for a night of drunken fun and sweaty dancing with some friends.. it was a 5 minute drive on the freeway to get there, and another 20 minute drive around town trying to find a damn parking spot.. it doesnt help at all that im night blind and can not parallel park to save my life..
so anyway, after the 20 minutes darren was pulling whats left of his hair out and chain smoking..
Darren: damnit jen theres another spot!
Me: but its too small! can i turn left here?? i cant see!!
Darren: (squirming in his seat) thats it! forget about making a left turn and just turn right here and pull over!
Me: but why?
Darren: because im going to park!!
so wouldnt you know that 5 minutes after he takes over the wheel we get a spot just up the road from the club..
so this whole incident has me rethinking the idea that him moving to pb is so great.. because you know hes gonna want me to drive over every night after work, and i just can not see darren coming out of his house every night just to park my car for me..

how do i know if im happy?
this question arose the other night as i was laying in bed unable to fall asleep.. staring at the inside of my eyelids.. so how do i know if i really am happy or if im just in denial about a completely miserable existence? when i was younger i remember thinking of myself as a pessimist, always seeing the glass half empty.. but lately, i think ive grown into an optimist.. i try to look for the good in everything, and if something is going bad, i can only hope that in the future things will be better.. i think all the nights of laying awake in bed for hours when i was younger stressing about various problems taught me a valuable lesson: you're never going to get any sleep staying up giving yourself ulcers like that.. i suppose every situation can be looked at from different viewpoints, and that very fact makes it reasonable to assume that you can choose to be either happy or miserable in any situation.. i choose to be happy.. sure i didnt start college until i was 20, i owe lots of money for my car that i can never seem to keep clean, and i fear that ill always be a procrastinator, unfairly defensive, and will probably never mature 100% into a full grown responsible adult, but i have lots of things to look forward to..
well enough of that, i dont know why i would be thinking about how happy i am after a visit to the dentist.. this is after a few years of not going to one.. so i found out that i do have to have my wisdom teeth pulled after all =( today i got my cavity filled.. it wasnt as terrible as i remembered it being years ago.. i made the mistake of not eating breakfast before i left.. i woke up an hour late and had to haul ass to make it up to Escondido on time.. it wasnt until after i received a shot of novacaine did they tell me that i wouldnt be able to eat for 2-4 hours for fear of chewing my own face apart.. so now im home with a sore mouth and an ultra sensitive tooth.. to top it off i have cramps.. just in time for darrens birthday this weekend! wooo
speaking of which, we have no idea what we're doing.. with a birthday in july its always nice to be able to go to the beach for the day, but in san diego thats just suicide.. this year theyre expecting thousands upon thousands of natives and those damn arizona tourists to take it all off and frolick drunkenly on our polluted shores, so im not sure thats the place for me, and besides that darrens not much of a crowd lover anyway.. hed be completely content sitting in a divebar drinking away his birthday blues of turning 24.. old man!!
until next time kiddies..

what an exciting day yesterday was!! for a late lunch darren and hopped on the coaster and headed downtown for some food and drinks.. we ate at the Yardhouse, so named because you can actually order beer buy the yard.. we got there in time for happy hour so i stuck with the half price special martinis.. a chocolate kiss and a vanilla cheesecake.. yummy, but the chocolate one was definately better.. darren looked like a little boy in a candy shop when he saw the extensive list of beers on tap.. but he had the unfortunate luck to order a beer that had a slight taste of icy-hot to it..
for the game we met up with juliana, pherris(i think thats how its spelled), eric and annie.. of course the padres lost again because i am a JINX!! i took this time to drink lots of water and eat some nachos because you can only afford $6 beers for so long, as i have mentioned in an earlier entry..
the first stop after the game was this cozy little pub called Dublin Square.. the clientele there did seem to be mostly irish, except for us who seemed to stick out like the ethnic outcasts that we are.. but regardless the waitress was great and they even had an irish band that was doing the jig!! how great is that.. they even played Happy Birthday for me, i feel so special! :-) after juliana and pherris left our little foursome made our way stumbling around the streets of downtown and somehow ended up in a downstairs bar that was playing 80's music extremely loud.. good times either way, as we were so drunk and in such good spirits we decided to sing along with everyone else to the bad music.. comedy..
the night starts to get a little blurry after that but i do remember walking around the Hustler store completely piss drunk.. nothin like porn and toys for your birthday, right? haha oh my god my mom is gonna go bananas if she reads this.. i love you mom!! hehe
well thank god i made it home ok and i dont have a hangover!!

not much time to chat.. but darren has missed his first opportunity ever to experience the quintessential california earthquake.. i happened to be laying about on the couch(since its my day off) when my entire house started shaking.. for a second i thought it was just the dynamiting the construction crews do sometimes in the canyon behind my house.. but when it lasted longer than a split second and the ceiling fan started to rattle, i knew at once what it was! what a rush of adrenaline! that lasted for about 5 minutes then i returned to watching mtv..
"its this kind of situation where you can tell the native californians from the imports"

2 more days to go until im 21! looks like its rock bottom for aftergame drinks.. meet us there in the gaslamp quarter!!
