my first time
I remember that it was on a bus, on our way to a band competition. I was curious and nervous about putting something foreign in my body, yet I was compelled to it. People talked about how good it was and I wanted to be a part of that hype. Your first time is never what you expected and that’s exactly how it went.
Over the years, I had gotten used to the feeling but in college it turned into an addiction. I had to have it 2-3 times a day. Whether it was with friends, a special someone or on my own, I just couldn’t fight the urges. After moving back to the Bay, I became more adventurous. I tried different things, all to my liking. I even got my husband to try those things with me. I crossed the line to what most people call “raw.”
I love sushi.
Y’all can get your heads out of the gutter now, sheesh.

current events
I’ve been following this coal mining explosion story. First, they were trapped trying to be rescued. Then, all but one survived. A few hours later, all but one died. Families were heartbroken and outraged, rightly so, until closure in the form of notes left by the miners from the great beyond let them know that they “just went to sleep.” It got me thinking about our own morality. Some days, I think about how great life is and what it has in store. Then I think about getting older and dying. I know that it’s just a part of the journey we call life, but sometimes you can’t help thinking about it. **EDIT: I meant "mortality." Thank you Anonymous.**

confessions of a twenty-something drama queen
I have no work this week and I'm chillin' at my parents' house waiting for the children to get up so I can smother them with kisses and have them open their presents. I got my period this week and I'm feeling super crappy. I balanced my check book and after all my checks clear, I have exactly $4.77 in my account. That is some fucked up shit.
I yearn for a simpler time more often than not. I wish that people around me weren't so fake and transparent. Why do they gotta start shit in the first place? I also read to deeply into things. I have a knack for seeing things that aren't there. I like to play certain scenarios in my head in order to escape reality. I'm scared and excited about "growing up."

life lessons
6 things I learned yesterday:
1. USB Flash Drives are fucking expensive, yet I do think that it's a good idea to invest in one.
2. Byron and I can continue a fight/grudge for at least 2 days before the make up sex.
3. If you look hard enough, there are some phat deals at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
4. There's always someone, somewhere that knows my fucking husband.
5. I always thought that I couldn't flip my eyelids inside out, but I did yesterday...and let me tell you, it hurt like hell.
6. I get excited with the thought of baking something from scratch.

dirty laundry
So...shoot me because I haven't updated lately. You can always check my xanga or just email me! My life has been pretty busy lately! With the Holidays soon approaching, getting all this new furniture and starting a new job, I've been very reflective lately. I think about all the stuff that I've done in the past, some fairly scandalous and others the complete opposite, I'd write a book like Nicole Richie. But I wouldn't say that it was "loosely based" on my own life, it would straight up be my life.
I've been thinking about how short life is and how much I can share with the world. I'd hate for my kids or the people I love to make the same mistakes that I did, but I know that my good intentions aren't enough. I feel like if I can make some positive impact by being candid and unrestrained, people could really use that for their own personal growth and acheivement.
I'm just as crazy, smart, and funny as everyone else. Why should I have anything to hide?

whoa, whoa, whoa
I learned that today in training as a way to "overcome an objection."
I also learned that when Filipino people say that they are from the Fresno area, they're really from Lemoore and there is a good chance that they know Byron's cousins.
Byron said that he was going to buy me a Derek Fisher Warriors jersey...that's my bitch! And my fave # too!
Jason Mraz is my other husband. My new favorite song is "Wordplay."

Missing In Action
It's been awhile since I've blogged.
That's what happens when you get married and go on vacation for 3 weeks.
I thought that I wouldn't be on here very often anymore seeing as how I started a new job today and don't get as much QT with the internet as I did in my previous job...but now that my husband and I are proud owners of a Mac Mini, my blogging times have changed from the day shift to the evening shift.
People always be talking about a hiatus...but I get bored too easily and internet stalking is fun.

the waiting game
I hate this game. Ironically, I play it a lot.
2 weeks ago, I had a 2nd interview. 1 week ago, I followed up and was told that my background check was still in the works. Today, I'm just waiting. Boo.
4 stupid things that Dawn did today:
1. Passed the on ramp to go to work because she thought it was closed, but wasn't.
2. Spilled coffee on her light pink shirt while driving.
3. Kept jean jacket on to cover coffee spot even though it's like 80+ degrees out.
4. Left her car keys in the bathroom.
Back to waiting...

my mom thinks I'm cool
Actually, my mom thinks I'm crazy, but the feeling is mutual.
My mom and I have a very interesting relationship. I can sit and vent to my mom about anything and everything, but it wasn't always like that. She used to be all judgy and shit. She actually still is, but I think that I've learned to just ignore what I don't want to hear. I was at my parent's house on Tuesday and I swear the whole time she was yelling at my dad. I finally had enough of her yelling and said, "Why are you yelling at him? I think he can hear you perfectly fine." Then she said that Royce doesn't like it when she yells at my dad. I'm sure that he doesn't like it either.
The sad thing is, I do the same thing to Byron. At least now I know why.
