Rise and shine sleepyhead! Actually, I didn't just wake up. I woke up at 2:25pm today.

I slept like a rock! I went out at the last minute [around 9:30] and got home around 6:30am after
a little dancing, a little laughing, a little [not!] corona-downing, a little flirty and some late late late night Korean food on Geary.
Unexpected turn of events and I may go on a date this weekend. We'll see.
Happy New Year!! Off to a fresh start :)

ERROR MSGA few things I carried around in my peacoat pocketsERROR MSG the whole day yesterday:
-some Japanese university's business card [Katsuhiko's school] with A's phone numbers scribbled on it
so I can contact her
-guitar pick and a capo
-car keys
-cute box of Altoids matches

Ohha! Ohha! I haven't worn contacts in like 2 years and so I put some on today. Gray ones.
I'm kinda starting to like that damn Dream Angels Halo lotion but the smell just stays put like cling film. I'm worried that it's gonna overpower my established Issey Miyake and confuse the noses of everyone that knows what I smell like. I could joke around by saying [if someone were to ask me "What perfume is that? It doesn't smell like your Issey Miyake"] "Oh, heh, that's my girlfriend's fragrance. You could really notice that I smell differently?" Just kidding, I don't have a girlfriend. I'm a bachelorette ;) Since I'm on the subject of fragrances, I'm so almost out of my perfume. Gotta get another bottle. Mr. Jesse said that my Esthero real audio link didn't work. I'm sooooo sorry!!! I didn't realize. I'm so moded. I wonder, does it work now? If not, well shit on me. I knew I shouldn't have put real audio files cuz I'm clueless.

Gosh, these contacts make me feel so make believe.

there's a line in the song Wonderful World [Ken Hirai] that goes "melted caramel...peach jam" and when he ERROR MSGsays "melted caramel", it sounds so smooth, slick and sexy just like melted caramel. Yum Yum Yum :)

Ok. I'm really a dumbass. Is that Esthero link still faulty????

The reason for those blank entries in my guestbook. Is it cause you WANT to view the entries?!!!
I hate getting those annoying blank entries, so here's the godforsaken link
all you had to do was change the "sign" command to "view" on the guestbook link  to see it!

Notes to self for to-morrow:

reply to all my email
really clean out my room
do laundry
return a skirt at nordstrom

that's it you guys.  I have absolutely nothing to say.

Just some late night cravings to type.

I've decided to put up old old "poems" to embarrass myself. click

Once again, let me apologize for my .ram file dyslexia. So it's only the Esthero file that's causing trouble or is it Ken Hirai also?
Grrr...I'm such a retard. Thank you for all your concern.

Anyway, tonight I stayed at home and I was 1/2 way  into a vhs tape of The Lost Boys when my phone rings. It's the New Year's Eve boy calling all the way from Santa Barbara on his cell phone. We ended up talking for a little over 2 hours-could've been longer if his battery wasn't about to fail him and he left his charger in his car. He called me from a hotel room. He drove all the way down there to meet up with a friend in LA that he hasn't seen in a bit says he. The day after New Year's Eve, he asked me if I ERROR MSGwanted to join him [with a couple other friends] to go wine tasting at a winery in Napa, and then during our 2.3 hour convo, he asks me out again, this time for dinner on Saturday night.
Towards the end of our convo, he asks if I wouldn't mind going out sooner, like Friday night instead, and so I said "sure, Friday's cool." I still let the movie run its course but since I was talking to him, I just ignored it. I didn't even realize that the movie was over and I was still talking and talking.

Not that I really mind or anything, but here we go again: the process of getting to know a person. There still lies that level of excitement when you find out about someone you just met, but then you still retain a bit of composure so you won't freak ERROR MSGout that other person until you've gotten real comfortable with him/her. I can do this.

Anecdote of a Friday night in January
Cast of characters: Girl and Boy

Boy's orignal plans were dinner reservations at 7pm. Boy called Girl saying that he'll be running a bit late so he switched the reservations to 8:30 instead. Boy picked up Girl at her house. He brought a vibrant bouquet of neat-looking flowers for her. Girl was surprised at the floral gesture. Didn't see that one coming. Dinner took place at the notable Tonga Room at the Fairmont Hotel. Girl mentions to Boy that she's dined there once during senior prom. Overpriced food for basic, mainly Chinese-y dishes. Boy  and Girl have 3 different tropical cocktails each. Boy and Girl carried on good conversation the whole time. Boy and Girl were flirty with each other. Laughing, smiling, hand to hand contact. Boy and Girl were guilty of PDAs...but they weren't that shameful. Boy and Girl drive around the city afterwards then went to Yancy's for some black velvets, pear cider, merlot and popcorn. Girlwas way stoked to discover that some great great patron of Yancy's plunked in money in the jukebox to play classic smashingpumpkins songs, Snail and Drown, and Radiohead's Airbag...

then yancy's closed and off they went. End of story.

epilogue: Boy smiles a lot.

In other news, either the world has ended or shall be salvaged if I just clean up my damn room because I'm missing my beloved beloved favorite CD ever. I'm missing Siamese Dream [smashing pumpkins, dorks].
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! It's not in the case. I don't know where it is :(
