Things in my life....

1. we had that big ole talk about the new "la otra" and we all came to the ignoring conclusion because I hate being in relationships where all there is is take take take and no give.
2. I am hurting inside. I feel like someone put a blender in my and pressed liquefy. I am so nervous because he and I are fighting again because of our different personalities mostly tipped off from the fact that I bought some stuff by where my sister lives and asked him if he could help me pick it up. I am scared that I am becoming a burden on him and he feels like I am always relying on him and stuff... we are on a break right now. I really need you guys right now. can you I come over tomorrow. I just need hugs. I don't want to lose him and he doesnt want to lose me but he says he wants to get focused on school first because he starts on wednesday. I am only human...

Wanna Bet....

Sooooo...in the time since school has begun a lot of normal shit has gone down. Some of it good, some of it bad, but all of it was equally important in the lives of us who are part of the Normal Activity. A few highlights include, but are certainly not limited to:

1) The first party of the year: JukeBox and NCN both went out the first Friday of school, with very mixed results. Some fun was had, but the next morning brought them back to the apartment with many a tale to tell and not all with happy endings either.
2)The Intervention: The Intervention which we all knew had to happen happened. It was satisfying at the time, we all thought our Mutual Friend understood that her life was going in a bad direction, that her ego was way overinflated, that her obsessive nature would lead her down a dark and terrible path, and that she was being an altogether fairly awful person. In the weeks since, there has been a regression in personality adjustment, and I for one am annoyed at the wasted effort.
3)The Second Party: NCN attended this party alone because poor JB was dying of some strange cold( which she might have picked up from me then passed on to NCN). She stated the day after that it was incredibly fun, even though Mutual Friend displayed some extremely idiotic behavior such as acting drunk when she totally wasn't, hitting on boys who didn't know any better, and being loudly and obnoxiously rude to hosts of the two parties they attended that night. But what else is new, right?
4)The Kickback: This one was out of the blue. Like completely. I came back from a meeting at work around 12:30 am last Wednesday/Thursday to find an empty apartment, with only a note to eat any food I might find from JB and NCN. Needless to say I texted JB to see where my roommates were, only to receive a slightly tipsy text back stating they were at a kickback. I think they got back from that one at around 4 am, because I seem to remember them walking back into the apartment. But that might have been a dream. The next day we all had to up by 7:30 am, and let me tell you JukeBox was NOT happy. They might think a little harder the next time a spur of the moment party is offered to them. LOL
5) OH YEAH! The Social Network: We watched the free premiere of the Facebook movie the night it came out, and I think JB picked up some nifty programming tips( ie "drink a shot every 10 lines of code"), while NCN and I fawned over the twins who aren't really twins at all. The Boys went as well and we got some fairly awesome NA recorded that night.

Any real information and details will probably have to come from NCN and JB, since I wasn't at most of these events due to my highly anti-social nature. Better step it up ladies and start blogging those stories. This is really just a general overview of the exciting times we've had this Fall quarter at lovely UCR.

Now, to the point of this blog post( I know right? You thought I was done and I've just now begun). For the last week or so I have been STARVING. The loss of a meal plan has hit me fairly hard, as well as the increase in all the food offered at the dorms. I honestly don't know how NCN and JB did it last year. But anyway, I've been wasting away from lack of food, specifically bread and the almighty Cup of Noodles, without which most college students cannot survive. Today we finally decided to go grocery shopping again...to be honest, I sort of finagled the whole thing, by practically dragging the other two with me to Rite Aid so I could buy myself some soap. I mean, I honestly needed soap, how else was I to wash myself? And really, FOOD 4 LESS is right across the street so how could we pass up the chance for food? Anyway, I hope NCN and JB will forgive me for being so annoying about my starvation. I swear, I'll shut about it now that there's bread in the apartment. The real excitement begins on our trip back to campus.
We stopped by Jack in the Box because eff healthy living, we were craving some damn tacos. Which we promptly acquired. As soon as we leave this fine fast food establishment we see the number 1 bus go off down the street. Slightly discouraged at the thought of waiting, we decide to walk to down the street towards campus to the next bus stop. I voted against the one in front of Rite Aid due to the prolific amount of street walking women to be found there at all hours of the day, often times in the company of their good friend Mr Crack Pipe. Little did we know that it is nearly impossible to avoid the ladies of the night when it is already night. As we waited for the bus, for ALMOST AN HOUR, we saw no less than two of these particular kinds of women trying to drum up some business to no avail. JukeBox in particular was made very, very uncomfortable by the fact that one of the "ladies" kept walking past us "looking for a good time". If only you could have seen the look of terror on her poor innocent face; it was pretty funny. Just as I was despairing of never seeing the bus again JukeBox made a remark that was quite out of character "Wanna bet on who'll get picked up first? Us or the crack whore?" and then not even a minute later bus 16 came to deliver us of our misery at the bus stop. Only to leave us in agony to wait for the trolley to our building. Thankfully there were a variety of people passing the trolley stop for us to admire or laugh at, as the situation warranted. Overall our trip to buy what was originally just soap and bread ended after nearly 4 hours, nearly 3 of which were just us getting back to the apartment. That is what I call some fine Normal Activity.
I've spent enough time dawdling on here I guess. My carpal tunnel is acting up so I better do my reading. A warning to those of you who think of venturing down University Avenue after dark: don't.
