I don’t think I can recall every single thing that’s happened, but I’ll try and list the most memorable/meaningful.

• Got a new doggy a week ago. She’s a long-haired chihuahua named Lucky Wawa. Nicknames: He (everyone, including the vet, keeps calling her that), and Demon Eyes.

• Got locked in a restroom stall at school. Thank goodness that college restrooms are generally cleaner than high schools’. No embarassment, it was actually pretty fun/funny.

• Had a meaningful talk with “3” late one night. Everyone seems to be getting along lately. It was a good heart-to-heart without the mushiness/tears. I’m gonna give myself a pat on the back. That was a great older sister moment for me. I will own that “Best Big Sis In The World” mug (if such a thing existed).

Today, was a good day. Like, satisfying, you know?

True, there was an unexpected downpour, but even that circumstance allowed me to have a nice conversation with a stranger who was caught in the rain too. We headed out to the parking lot together and I didn’t even mind that I was getting so cold I couldn’t feel my hands and my shoes were soaked through. Which, speaking of, I decided to drive without shoes on and it was kinda fun haha. That was a first for me. (Another first for me today was when I changed the battery on the fire alarm! I felt so accomplished. :] I was totally one of those kids that liked to play with screwdrivers and tool kits.)

Then, I went home and picked up “2” and we went to Chase. After we left, I went in the wrong direction and had to do a u-turn up this overpass, but it was amazing. The sky had broken and there was clear, pure blue. I felt like we were driving up into the sky or on the roadway to freaking heaven or something. For srz, yo.

Annnd, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST AMAZING WOMAN IN THE WORLD, MY MOM!!! I love you with all my heart. Thank you so much for all the sacrifices, love, and patience you have given me. (..Seriously, I was a pissy pre-teen in middle school.)

I love you. Wo ai ni. Saranghaeyo. Je t’aime. Ich liebe dich. Um..ti amo. :)

This past week has been…interesting, I suppose.

Earlier this week, my great-auntie died. Monday, I think. The funeral is this weekend and it’s gonna be in San Francisco. I don’t know her that well and I don’t think I even remember how she looks like, but she was very good to us. Every Chinese New Year, she sends sent lucky money. I wish I could have thanked her for helping to raise me when I was a baby and everything. I hope she’s in a much better place now.

Wednesday? I woke up nearly crying. I had a dream where I was about to die at the hand of this crazy chick. I wasn’t scared, just sad. She tried to kill me with an enormous battle axe, but we ended up playing cards. It all seems very normal, but I knew that after, she’d kill me. I think there’s a metaphor somewhere in there. But, there were funny/weird things too. Two people that didn’t really look like them, but were Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson?? had random cameos for like a second in the dream and I was Buffy (vampire slayer) somehow. :/

I found the quote below from this boy I used to talk to. I think a lot of people need love in their life from that one (or more? I don’t judge.) special person and I was feeling it pretty deeply this week. I think this boy liked me and that he took me out on a date. (I get the feeling that he wanted and tried to make it a date. Eating out? A walk in the park? Putting his hand on the small of my back and walking on the outside to protect the little lady? Asking me what I thought of him when I first saw him? Yeah.) I’ve been so lonely that I entertained the thought of letting myself date him, but it would have been unfair to both of us. I don’t think he’s the guy for me, even if he thought/thinks I might be for him.

I should listen to the quote and just be happy. Look at the bright side and all that. Maybe, watching White Collar, Glee, and Interview with the Vampire will help? We shall see. ;)
