that Girl

Strangely enough I somehow got a three day weekend... That means fri, sat, sun all off. So I had a weekend of mischief and relaxation. Yesturday after having a wonderful dinner with two sweathearts I was convinced to go over there house that night and drink with them. I had protested since I am a UPS grad and they are all seniors. I didnt want to become that girl who still goes to all the college parties even though she has already graduated. But since they are all really good friends and Megs is my little I really wantedto hang out. I got over to there house which needs a spiffy nickname like the smurf house of last year. I started in on my bottle of wine, no glass just strait from the bottle, I know classy huh, well I'm one classy chick... when the whole group of ladies showed up it was time for a friendly game of fuck the dealer, and guesswho got fucked.... So I had to chug a third of a bottle of wine... Then we played a round of red black high low. Which megs ended up getting fucked on. Beer bongs ensued and we quickly took off. We were supposed to go to one party (a ups one) then head over to Asian Zachs for ahalf graduated and non graduated party with 300 cans of beer and a stripper pole... So we get to 11 and alder where I quickly run into two graduates and was very pleased. I told them we all were that guy and girl. THey said nah that they didnt care and loved still going out to the parties... Betas for ya... SO I pestered my friends a lot to head to zachs, i didnt want to walk alone. Called zach to tell him I was coming... Megs was trying to find Katie so we could leave, the next thing I know I turn around to watch Megs fall down the stairs head first head bouncing off the sidewalk.. We quickly run to pick her up and start carrying her home. She couldnt walk in her boots so I grabbed them. Evan started giving her a piggy back ride until Cara came up with a car. We get to Meggies and Katies and we start dinking around on the computer, I'm starting to get tired so I headout to the back porch where megs is puking off of it.. Still and talk to her and evan for a bit... THe best part of all Megs calls me this afternoon wanting to be filled in what happened last night, her and Katie have no idea... things are a little fuzzy but for the most part I remember the night. All and all I had a great three day weekend... Makes me never want to work again...

*growl*

When I woke up thur morning to head to work, my car had been keyed from taillight to headlight. On the side that had just been painted. Luckily they buffed that out for me today at the cost of a mirre 60 bux. So Friday I have a long day at work, and head home. My friend Jason comes and picks me up and we meet Bekah at the Swiss. since I'm not driving I get throughly fucking drunk. I know Casey, Sean, and Kurt showed up later that night. Jason has been filling me in on what I said and did. I know you guys were there but I dont remember talking to any of you. So please fill me in. Sat I wake up with the worst hang over ever. I get towork at 1 and everyone is looking at me funny. Probably because im bent over and i feel like I"m going to vomit. Eric Steffins keeps making hacking noises, and this makes me more nausiated. BLah so Sat sucked. BTW the new store manager is crazy. He has been described as a cheerleader on crack. More like a combination of meth and crack... So I put my time in on Sunday I went to go grab my perscription from bartells in the harbor. I saw kids hanging out in the Round Table/ McDonalds parking lot like I did when I was a teenager. I cant believe there still isnt anything to do... Also, I will be house sitting a pretty cool house in N. Tacoma until Oct 3. It has a Jaccuzzi (sp) so please stop on byI'm sure to get bored and lonely...

Nor Cal!

Sunday after a few hang ups from work I took off for Crescent City, Ca around 3 pm. It was a long drive full of me having to go pee so badly I got lost in portland and ended up running into a Chinese Resturant called Wongs. After this pit stop I quickly get back on the road. I was getting worried at this point because I hadn't spoken to Matt before I left WA. Sometime at 4 1/2 hours and somewhere in southern Or. Matt calls. He's excited to see me and is wondering where I am so he can determine how long it will take me to get there. I'm making pretty good time its about 7 pm and he'll call me in two hours to see where I am. So somewhere after Grants Pass around 850 I realize my cell has lost service. 9 rolls around still no service. I cross the border to CA around 945ish, still no service. Now I'm starting to get worried a little. I cant get a hold of matt. SO I keep driving. The old Redwood Highway 199 is full of curves and huge trees on the side, I'm tired and keep crossing the lines. Scary! When I was first planning the trip Matt had given me his address and I had looked up on map quest he lived off of 197. Then Bam all of a sudden I hit service I quickly turned down that road which happened to be 197. I try calling matts cell, nothing he's outta service at his house. THen I try getting on my AIM on my cell phone where he had left his parents phone number. Bam outta service, so I turned around and drove to Crescent City because I thought I would get service once I was there. I drove all the way in nothing no service. NOw I'm starting to panic, so I find a safeway and ask to use their phone, the lady gave me attitude but the dude let me. I call his cell again and leave a message that I'm here safe and at the safeway. The guy was like well whats his last name u can look him up in the phone book, and I was like Johnson, the guy says oh theres lots of those I doubt you'll find him. So I drive back towards where I found service. All of a sudden as soon as I jumped on the highway bam service, so I slammed on my breaks in the middle and hit the web button. I decide sitting in the middle of the highway was a bad idea and pull over. I get his parents number and call him. He picks up, "where are you?" Umm somewhere theres a sign that says grants pass 78 miles. I just got on a highway. "I know where you are I'll be there in 5 min" YOur that close? "YEP". So I sit there, call my parents, check voicemail and wait. Five minutes later I see a car pull up behind me. ANd I jump outta my car and give him the fattest hug ever! We then went back to his house. It turns out I had turned around practically at his driveway...

The next day we went out to the beach! It was so beautiful! I couldnt believe it! Later that day we went to SMith River across from his house. We played with his doggy Anna who is so cute. After that we went for a hike and the trees were fucking huge. Like worlds largest trees type large. It was so amazing, I was happy to have this kinda of a trip. It was just non stop fun, I really needed to get away. We then went out and went to his bar where I met some of his friends, really cool funny chill guys. It was a ball. I proceeded to get very wasted since matty was driving. We then drove towards the beach things are a bit fuzzy here, but I know we got into an arguement. It eventually worked out and we stopped being mad. Went back to his house and passed out, it was a fun but tiring day.

When we work up he made us breakfast from eggs from his chickens! they were so good. Watched a movie and relaxed. Packed up my shit and left around 330. Drove 7 hours back and got home around 1030. I would have been home earlier but I had to stop in Salem to eat, and then I got back on the freeway heading the wrong direction. SO I had to turn myself around. All and all it was a whirlwhin of a trip but well worth it. It was good to see him since I hadnt since may. Pics are up on my photo website. So check em out! They're awesome.

I am no longer a hippy... I'm a tree hugging activist...

OK so I have the fattest bruise on my arm and I have no idea how it got there, its been there a week. Now that's outta the way here's some of the highlights of my week. Last Fri I went to the lake with Megs, came back to her house helped E-C move some stuff in. Found out my favorite sweater the one with the magnets had been tossed out... Very sad about that. Moved a dresser with EC. We flagged down a random girl who happened to grad with me from UPS to take the dresser in her car since it didn't fit in EC's, said girl was very weirded out... Then I ended up going to the Ale house with some friends. Worked sat, sun, mon. Was supposed to be off Tue but according to my district manager my jobs like fight club and I had to come in on my day off to prepare for the regional manager. I got promoted from hippy to tree hugging activist by Dave. Wed he kept threatening to demote me to hippy again. When he called tue he said michelle this jobs like fight club, what are you doing right now. I said I was going to go grocery shopping. He told me that was lame. Then I said I'll come in damnit I don't need to eat in a joking voice. He joked back with ya eating's for hippies. Wed I had the worst caffeine headache. Had to run my update perfectly. The regional manager came, ok guy I guess. He told my boss the stock room was the worst he's ever seen. So ya sweet. Left pretty much after he left, two hours earlier then I was supposed to because I thought my eyes were going to explode. I picked up my car from the place it was getting the dent taken out, took a quick nap then went to the place I will be house sitting from sept 11 till oct 3. They're paying 200 and they have a jaccuzzi not so bad... Though I got roped into house sitting for their neighbors in Oct. Will I ever sleep at my apartment, ha yes! Came home today around normal time went into my hot tub that just opened up, then tried to get the energy to finally go grocery shopping. Didn't happen, so I will be eating garden burgers and rice... or chickened soup wooooo hooooo!

positive things...
*My apartment is on the volcano evacuation route...
