on a lighter note



So today was a pretty good day.

It turns out, I can sew. I know, amazing. I whipped out my mom's sewing maching and made some great things. I'll show only one or two things, bc others are a surprise for Ryan and the guests.











so I made a pillow cover for the ring bearer's pillow (the picture doesn't do it justice).

and I made a little baggie...














Haha, I'm sooo proud of myself. :P I'm a dork, I know...

Yey, 6 more days till he wedding. (I LOVE RYAN!)

War

Check out some of these blogs... Israel is at war, and the people are really courageous... Unbelievable. Very similar to what I lived in London during the bombings. Europeans (Israelis included) are amazing.

I just read this blog, which came from this person, and it freaked me out. My best friend since I was 3 lives in Israel, and it's scary. Yet this one gives me a little hope. Maybe I'm silly to believe in rationality and peace. I sure hope I'm not.

In any case. Think rationally, not with paparazzi pictures and emotions. please.

Friday

Hi!

So, I have no idea why my blog is all screwed up, so I thought maybe changing the format would help... well, it didn't help. And now I don't really like any of them. Oh well.

Went to the dentist- just a cleaning! Yey!! I was bracing myself for a lot of pain... but no. Yey!

Um... nothing new to report. I guess.

Yey for 9 more days!!!!!!!!!

Um, I need something borrowed and a veil. Off to shopping tomorrow.

My great-aunt is in town from Paraguay!

And.... can't wait to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!

Yey!!

Stem Cells

Hi!

SO my parents told me yesterday about how Bush vetoed another stem cell bill...and at first I was like, yeah, nothing new. But then I read this morning's OC Register (actually read a lot of it today, quite unusual, very proud of myself) and the article about the veto.

People are ignorant.

And, as Pedro points out, very closed minded.
Hello people! Scientists aren't going to stop you from making babies!!! The fact is that there are A LOT of embryos waiting for mommies, and you know what, there aren't enough mommies. So they're just sitting there in freezers, waiting, when they could be used for research that may well save your mommy when she gets Alzeimers (or insert any one of multiple diseases). So they bring in parents with their "snowflake" children. I think that's great, that parents that can't have kids adopt embryos. If there were a shortage of embryos, then maybe, ok, let's not kill a life. BUT THIS IS NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING.

Don't give me any religious crap either. I'm religious, I'm Jewish. Whatever. I am also a scientist. Let me correct that, I am a scientist, and I am a Jew. AAAAND!!!!!!! There is a separation of church and state, so don't tell me you did this because you're a good Catholic. Because then, then I will be furious.

I respect all religions. I respect your right to think and chose to do whatever you please. But please don't mix your religious beliefs with those of the rest of the country. Because you are not supporting my beliefs... I am not catholic, ok, so don't offend me with your "morals".

Ok, I'm sorry.

Another things that pissed me off--> representatives from Diamond Bar, Irvine and Fullerton voted against this... and I'm thinking, how many scientists live in these cities, how many universities are located in or around these cities? And they voted against this. THIS is a moment when schools need to do something about this. You know? Yes, everyone gets rowled up over tomatoes and immigration... how about scientific issues?

---- Griselda walks off her soap box--------

Ok, Griselda needs a breather.....

------------------------------------------

Ok, so, back to more mundane stuff....

What are the ethics of blogging? Like, I feel weird commenting on stranger's blogs that I don't know, yet have bookmarked. Should I announce my presence, like "hello, you do not know me, but I find your blog quite entertaining. I apologize if I check your blog 3 times a day, but I am currently on vacation where my responsibilities are to pack and plan a wedding. To keep myself sane I read other people's lives and am very intrigued. Thank you for keeping me occupied and sane. Come September I will probably visit your site once a week. Come November maybe once a month. But I look forward to reading you daily again in December. In 2007, when my PhD will really start rolling, hopefully, I will read your blog once a week. Thank you."

Anyways. What are the rules?

Ok, I gueeeess I should go start on the packing thing.

Laters.

G

PS: You do not need to comment on my blog, but it would be interesting to see if anyone, besides Marie and Ryan read this. I actually do not think so. But, I could be wrong.

PS2: You think I offended someone with the top half of my post?

PS3: I really really like PS's

Wednesday

My life is rated R!



Your life is rated R!

What is your life rated? (MPAA Scale)

Take Other Caffeine Nebula Quizzes


It's hot.. as always...

I feel a bit ridiculous. My wedding dress hanging from the back of my door, a sign that says in font 160 "Ryan & Griselda's Wedding"... and a print out of how I want the centerpieces to look. I would post the pics, but I do want them to be a surprise. And I found my iriver cable that I've been looking for. yey!

Am I the only one that finds comedy in this?

Non comedic note- my maid of honor may/or may not be attending the wedding. Let's all hope for "may"...

Ok, off to appear productive.

Tuesday...

Hiiii

Ok, watching people move a fridge (albeit with wheels) is really really funny. Funny thing is they were cal poly students. I kind of recognized one guy, don't know why, and he was wearing his orientation shirt... anyways, very very comical.

So now all of ryan's food is in my mini fridge... and some light fixture things are gone... as will the sound system in a few days.... we are so moving! yey!!!

Umm... also, Ryan is a very good kisser... sorry... just thought I should mention that. haha, I need to stop blogging!

Off to eat chicken, yey!!!!

Monday, July 17, 2006

My venting ... and yet, I feel cheerful towards the end...

Haha... so, I dunno. I think it's partially the hunger and stuff talking. But I was thinking about friends. ie Ryan and my friends. So, although most of our friends seem supportive and stuff about our moving, I can't help but think that most are getting used to us moving away by ignoring us. I've had friends try to pick fights before, bc it's easier to say goodbye when you're mad at someone. I've also had a group of friends make a truce until I left.

This time around, I've actually seen more of some friends than I've ever seen during my break. Yet, with others it seems that between the craziness of my interviews and ending classes, a distance has been formed. I dunno. I can't help to feel bad and stuff, because, yes, we're leaving, but we're not dying or disappearing off the face of the planet.

Oh well..

In other news, 13 days until the wedding, and I'm stoked! I'm so excited, I can't wait!!! Yey wedding! Yey Hawaii!!...

Also, I got the worst sunburn ever last Friday. We went to the beach, and I only put sunblock on my face, chest area and the back of my knees. Result, a Griselda tomatoe that has been in pain all weekend. I am feeling better, but oh my goodness... Now I have to get rid of bad tan lines, but am terribly afraid of the sun, haha! I might have to use that fake tan stuff, ugh!!!

I did get a pretty dress for my cousin's wedding at Nordstroms, with a gc I got from her, actually. I almost got this crazy outfit, which was really really expensive, but way fun. Instead a got a cocktail style, wrap-around dress that is fun as well, though not as sexy... but classy. I guess I must play the part of a yale grad student... haha. Whatever. It's a cool dress though :)

Um, also, Ryan has started packing... I helped him out yesterday... so, we're getting there, slowly.

Oh, and we saw pirates on sat, which was very good. can't wait till may until the third one comes out-- just in time for my bday... we should go to ny to see it--- I doubt that'll happen :P but it would be cool. I'm sure I'll have finals during opening weekend, or something.

Um.... what else? I dunno... I'm gonna continue with paperwork stuff... and getting over my tummy ache (I am doing better though).

Oky dokey...

Byes

Cheating :P

You Should Get a MD (Doctor of Medicine)

You're both compassionate and brilliant - a rare combination.
You were born to be a doctor.


Hahaha! Do they not know that I faint at the sight of blood?

After tweeking it..

You Should Get a PhD in Science (like chemistry, math, or engineering)

You're both smart and innovative when it comes to ideas.
Maybe you'll find a cure for cancer - or develop the latest underground drug.

What do you think?

You Are 59% American

Most times you are proud to be an American.
Though sometimes the good ole US of A makes you cringe
Still, you know there's no place better suited to be your home.
You love your freedom and no one's going to take it away from you!
How American Are You?

You Belong in Dublin

Friendly and down to earth, you want to enjoy Europe without snobbery or pretensions.
You're the perfect person to go wild on a pub crawl... or enjoy a quiet bike ride through the old part of town.

Bachelorette Anecdotes. Back in Cali :( :)

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I feel beaten up. After years of not clubbing, my body is in protest. Yet nooo regrets whatsoever, because my bachelorette party was AWESOME!!! I would post pics if I were at home (I will be home in a little bit, before traffic hits).

Yeah, Vegas was a blast, though I was sooo tired almost all the time I was there. Crazy crazy... It was soooooooooooooooooo hot.

Anyway. So, we got there Saturday at 2am. I made lasagna and pasta on Friday night for all 11 of us, though not everyone ate. It was great. Then we headed towards Vegas. We got to the Excalibur and used the Valet, for free, yey (it's free for everyone, but was very cool) and checked in. By the time we got there I was dead tired. But everyone wanted to go exploring (- Marie) so we went downstairs and I had some nachos, and the boys lost, um I mean gambled, some money. I was so tired though, but it was fine. It was good to hang out with the girls and Ryan, and the boys too of course. I'm so happy the boys came to vegas for Ryan's bachelor party at the same time as us. I would have been happier with a joint bachelor/-ette party, but I dunno if everyone else would have enjoyed it.

In any case we woke up Saturday around 10 I think. I went to cuddle w Ryan in his room, not wanting to wake up. That was nice. :) Then we all took a shower and got changed (which is an endeavor with 5 girls and 6 guys). In any case, we got ready and some of the boys were staaaarving, and were already in line for the buffet at the Excalibur, but we told them that we were going to the Paris Buffet. So we finally head there (a bit far away) and had the awesome Champagne brunch buffet, a bit expensive, but the mimosas made it worth it! We had our bride/maid of honor/bridesmaid's shirts on, so we attracted attention. I got a lot of congratulations, some "don't do it"'s but it was fun!!!

Then, we split up :( Bc there was no time to go to the NY,NY (double :( ) THat would have been soooo much fun. But the girls wanted to go shopping. We found some cool stuff on the strip (that Claudia later bought) and then went to the room. We took a nap bc we were soooo tired (mimosas make me sleepy). Then I took off my contacts and went to stateline to the shops/ discount stores (whatever they're called... outlets maybe). It was fun, though I was still tired. I actually did enjoy that part. I bought some awesome earrings and some cool bangles. The girls all bought something too, except Jade I think. Then we tried to get Starbucks, but they were out. And it was 7pm (crazy, how time flies). In any case, we went to another Starbucks (I just got water, as did Jade, it was crazy expensive). Then we headed back, I went to Ryan's room (screwed up their keys in the process-- but told them about it) and took a nap. I very much needed nap (I had the biggest headache ever). And then did my hair (very nicely, might I add). Melissa brought me my clothes and I changed. I did my makeup (very much unlike me). And lets just say my boobs were very much out there... Pictures will explain more later... Haha, oh, and I put I shot glass in my cleavage, which remained there until about 1am.

Anyway, so around 10pm I am allowed in our room, which was very well decorated. We got a bag with beads, shot glasses, a condom, pins, stickers, and cards. We had to give a sticker to each guy (ie: worst dancer, best overall, etc) and cards with something to do (I had to get some guy to buy me a "sex on the beach" and the bartender to get me a free drink... I did neither, Melissa bought me a drink, I bought myself two other ones).

Then, we went to NY, NY and got pizza and water. We met some very funny and nice guys. Then it was off to Tabu and Studio 54.

Tabu was ok. My drink was a little too strong (a Mai Tai... and half of Mels), Claudia looked freaked out, Melissa was worried about time, and we kept losing Jade and Marie. Jade was so ready to go to Studio 54, and I was a little ticked off the whole time. I did do some dancing on top of their tables, so that was fun. Then we headed to Studio 54--Melissa's heal was doing weird things-- we almost headed back to the room, but didn't. Got into the club (VIP and free for both) and had another drink (rum and coke... well, theoretically there was coke there). It was kind of boring at first, but then we spotted a boy go-go dancer, and my entourage got wild and happy (a very good thing). Even Claudia was dancing and happy. The club was really cool- there were dancers doing cirque du soleil-ish things from chains on the ceiling. Confetti was thrown, balloons were bouncing about. It was fun. Then I go to the bathroom and think the following- I am a bit tipsy, if I have one more drink I will be drunk. So, I decide to have another drink-- Sex on the beach. Then, they're telling Claudia to touch this one guys ass, but I touch the other guy's butt, and then run out. I'm caught by Mel, and the guy's friend says he has a gf, I tell him I have a fiancee, and shrug as I am walking away -- I was just being silly, not hitting on the guy, for goodness sake (and yes, Ryan knows about this, and he forgives me. Plus, his butt is much cuter than anyone else's we saw that night).

So, then I'm having my drink and dancing... I danced with one guy, then with two, and back to one. I was a little bad for a few minutes, and then went to normal Griselda dancing. We were having fun though. But then Mel and Marie encoutered the bad snobbish sides of the club. I'm sorry about that, though. At 3am we left. I was drunk. And, I've never been drunk, so this was something new. It was fun though. Then, I decided to give my stickers away to deserving passerby's -- I was on a mission. I might have freaked some guys out. But my mission was accomplished. I drank some of Mel's $5 water. Talked to some guys attending a karate convention, and a guy that had been engaged three weeks before, and then broke up with her. It was fun. Then Justin came for Marie, and tried escorting us back to the room. I could NOT walk straight, nor fast. So that took like 30 min. Back at the hotel, I peed, had some water, and went to Ryan's room. He was also drunk. But looked very sexy. And then we swapped stories. He was ready to pass out, but I was too drunk to try to fall asleep, or else I would have done so then. So I headed back to our room, where Claudia and Mel were not doing well. So, in our PJs we go to a sit down cafe downstairs, I had a bagel and water. THen we head back and try to sleep -- it was 6am. At 9:30am Daniel comes to wake us up, and I just totally go off on him, in a sleepy way. Haha, I was so pissed that he woke us up. Then Ryan came over, all dressed, to say hi. It was nice. Then we all packed, I took a quick shower.... Then Marie, Justin and Rhett went their way, bc they were staying a while longer. The rest of us went to In-n-out and had some burgers and fries. Ryan ordered fried onions-- not a good idea!! But he discovered that Sprite is good for upset stomachs. I ate my burger and his other half of the burger, and some fries.

Then we went to get gas, water and snacks. We ended up taking a side street, instead of the freeway, then going back to where the gas station was and getting on the freeway--- all which took like 30 min.... Then we were on the road. We got home in like 4 hs (30 min behind the boys), what was funny is that I had a key to Ryan's, but Rhett had Ryan's keys... so yeah, they had to wait for us.

So, that was my bachelorette party. It was soooo much fun. I really am going to miss everyone. And, can you believe my wedding is 20 days away? Crazy!

Anyway. I LOVE RYAN!!!! Yey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a long post, huh?

Yey!!!

Translator needed

Hi!

So, I know I posted stuff in Spanish, I apologize, I guess. I did post them more for my sake than anyone elses, I've been cleaning my room and have found some interesting things that I wrote in HS, but they were on floppy disks, so imagine that! I decided to post them. Then, Ryan used google translate on some of them (which is fine) and found out I wrote pretty angsty poems... Haha. Not everything I posted was stuff I wrote. Inconciente colectivo is a song, kind of a sad song, but one of the typical/classical "rock nacional" (argentinean rock) songs. The one is "eramos pocos" I can't remember if I wrote it or not. THen there's a short essay about democracy (I was kind of involved in the student body-- which is a totally different beast in argentina). The last one I did write, about this guy I had a crush on, who was kind of a jerk-- then again, back then it seemed I only had crushes on arrogant jerks who thought they were better than anyone else, and knew they were cute. Whatever. So, I would write poems when I would get really really frustruated, or a bit gloomy....

Which is why I don't write poems now. Bc I have the sweetest most wonderful man ever. SO, now he doesn't feel so bad that I haven't written a poem about him... though he has written me the best poems ever!!

Anyway... so I was sooooooo productive yesterday with my room. Turns out hearing comedy central stand-up acts works really well when trying to pack. My room is nowhere near done, but it is much emptier... which is kind of sad. yet, I'm glad it's about half way done. I've collected sooo much stuff in the past 23 years. My mom is the culprit of some of it (I have a doll that was given to my mom for me when I was born, I have a lot of my drawings and pictures from preschool - since I was 2 and a half!). No, I'm not taking everything... I have thrown out A LOT!!! But there is still soooo much more.

What else? I finally opened up my iPod nano the other day! And was listening to podcasts while grilling chicken downstairs... Good times! :)

um, ok, I guess that's it for today. I'm going to try to be productive and go out into the world and run my errands... can you believe I have been posting for the last 3 days... crazy!

ONE MORE DAY TIL VEGAS (my bachelorette/Ryan's bachelor parties!!) Yey!!!!!!!!!!!!!

High School Pictures!

This is my 16th bday!




This is at camp....

















INCONCIENTE COLECTIVO

NACE UNA FLOR
TODOS LOS DÍAS SALE EL SOL
DE VEZ EN CUANDO ESCUCHAS AQUELLA VOZ
COMO DE PAN
GUSTOSA DE CANTAR
EN LOS ALEROS DE LA MENTE
CON LAS CHICHARRAS
PERO A LA VEZ EXISTE UN TRANSFORMADOR
QUE TE CONSUME LO MEJOR QUE TENÉS
TE TIRA ATRÁS
TE PIDE MÁS Y MÁS
Y LLEGA UN PUNTO EN QUE NO QUERÉS

ESTRIBILLO:
MAMA LA LIBERTAD
SIEMPRE LA LLEVARÁS
DENTRO DEL CORAZÓN
TE PUEDES CORROMPER
TE PUEDES OLVIDAR
PERO ELLA SIEMPRE ESTÁ...

AYER SOÑÉ CON LOS HAMBRIENTOS LOS LOCOS
LOS QUE SE FUERON
LOS QUE ESTÁN EN PRISIÓN
HOY DESPERTÉ CANTANDO ESTA CANCIÓN
QUE YA FUE ESCRITA HACE TIEMPO ATRÁS
ES NECESARIO CANTAR DE NUEVO UNA VEZ MÁS


Eramos pocos, eramos tristes, eramos uno.
Hoy ya no somos y esperamos ser
Hoy ya no sabemos que hacer.
La tristeza invade y oscurece nuestro ser,
Cada dia es mas distinto al anterior, y nunca se podra volver a un instancia intermedia
Mediados de año se acerca
Y esto acecha a un grupo como un lobo ambriento a las pobres e ingenuas ovejas
Y talvez nadie se de cuenta del peligro, que puede adelantar el fin.
El terror me esta acechando, me quita la sonrisa, me carboniza el alma.
Donde estan los que eramos,
En alma, espiritu, cuerpo y esperanza?
Algunas vez seremos tan felices como lo fuimos entre ayer y hoy.
Ya ni me acuerdo de ese lapso, ya no recuerdo sonrisas y tiempos divertidos unidos.
Talvez la segregacion es buscada por uno mismo, y culpada a los demas.
O talvez son todos y no es nadie.
Y quizas se aislen los que pusieron el primer grano de arena,
Y sin ellos, los otros se quiebren, despedazen, se vayan, sin que nadie se de cuenta.
Quizas yo me quede, yo nadie mas, y todos esten juntos, y yo sola, y solo ahí me dare cuenta de lo mal que estuve
Solo ahí me reprochare una y mil veces. Solo ahí encontrare una solucion.
Pero donde esta esa solucion ahora?
Donde estan mis sonrisas y recuerdos. Mis momentos de alegria que cubrian y llevaban cercano al olvido tantos dias de pena, angustia y lagrimas.
Que hoy estan tan presentes como lo estuvieron siempre, pero hoy talvez me identifique mas con esos tiempos, que hace cinco sabados atrás.Ojala que no, que juntos encontremos una salida sin angustias, sin rencores, sin perder vidas para salvar otras, sin rechazar a nadie y sin salir insatisficho....

Stuff I wrote in High school

FICCIÓN

Me costó levantarme esa mañana, no por el sueño habitual de todos los días escolares, sino por el miedo a la humillación. A la humillación que causó defender mis derechos. Era incomprensible como después de dormir sólo tres horas, o menos, no estaba cansada, pero supongo que el pavor anula cualquier sentimiento, hasta el corporal. Esos quince minutos de colectivo y diez de caminata fueron los más largos de mi vida, tanto pasó por mi mente en esos instantes. No podía ser ésta la realidad en la cual vivía, no podía ser éste, mi mundo, tan ciego. Tal vez era todo sólo un sueño, quizás nadie realmente pensaba que lo que yo había hecho estaba mal... ¡Tal vez algunas personas hasta me felicitarían! Pero, me di cuenta que esto no era un sueño, era una pesadilla viviente, y choqué con la cruda realidad al ver el rostro de asco e indignación de una alumna, también de mí colegio, subirse a mi colectivo, al verme. Peor fueron los murmullos y risas que compartían entre miradas de burla. ¿Podrían ser estas alumnas de mí mismo colegio, en mi mismo país, de mi misma edad y (¿supuestamente?) bajo la misma doctrina y DEMOCRACIA? ¿Podría ser esto la realidad? Porque, no podría ser yo la que estaba equivocada, ¿o sí? ¿El mundo se ha vuelto a ser como en épocas militares, nuevamente? ¿Cómo puedo yo entender esto, y cómo puede la gente tornarse en lo que más odia sin darse cuenta? ¿Nadie aprende ya de la historia?
Llegar al colegio. Meta casi inalcanzable y eterna, pero llegué. Me hubiese quedado en casa, ¿por qué no lo hice? ¡NO! Esconder la cara sólo les daría la razón. Yo tal vez puedo "entender" este pensamiento de un dirigente, una autoridad del colegio, que sólo ha nacido, vivido y aprendido en un país dictador, pero de mis propios compañeros, conocidos y amigos, ¡no! Pero así fue y es. Entré al colegio y fui recibida con caras más claras que una ventana de vidrio, con todos sus contenidos. El odio, la confusión, tan clara como el agua, ¿pero tan pura? No entiendo esto proviniendo de adolescentes que sólo conocen la democracia (¿entre comillas?). La formación. Ya me sentía rebelde hasta en eso, ¿para qué honrar a un país democráticamente mientras vivimos realmente en opresión? No podría ser la gente tan hipócrita, pero lo es. Hoy, más que nunca, sentí lo que era esa bandera celeste y blanca, hoy las canciones y los poemas de la patria parecían escritos para alentarme...
Rompió mi pensamiento tan profundo y esperanzado la voz de una de las autoridades, solicitando mi presencia en dirección. ¿¡Cómo!? ¿Qué era eso? ¿A tal extremo había llegado mi grito de libertad, la libertad y los derechos constitucionalmente permitidos?
¿Qué me podrían hacer por exigir justicia? ¿Qué castigo sería debido para alguien que exigía democracia? Y sólo escuchaba las voces de gente, ciudadanos, habitantes de mí edad, pero de pensamientos totalmente opuestos, diciendo lo bien que estaban haciendo las autoridades, que justas sus acciones, y que cara dura lo mío de exigir cosas totalmente incoherentes. No pudo dejar de salir mi lágrima, que aunque única, simbolizaba los derechos, la libertad y la democracia, de un pueblo que no sabe exigir lo que es suyo, y ha sido, desde hace tiempo...

EL Y YO
El y yo, no somos uno
A penas somos dos en un mismo mundo.
El y yo nos conocimos
Pero ni el ni yo nos conocemos.
Hablamos ayer (aquel dia, tan lejano)
Hablamos hoy, aunque por un saludo unico
Y talvez hablaremos ma;an.
El y yo somos un Pico Dulce,
Unas moneditas, unas asquero-papas fritas,
Somos un saludo, un enojo, una escena de pelicula.
El y yo somos una mirada,
Somos una mirada discreta tras la ventana,
El arriba, yo abajo,
Los dos mirando.
Pero el no sabe si yo lo miro
Y yo no se si el me mira.
Yo bajo la lluvia, mojada,
El bien sequito, a dentro, mirando.
Somos. Pero nunca seremos. Talvez fuimos.
Talvez, talvez. Porque, o sino que son esas miradas llenas de palabras pero
sin sonidos .
El y yo nunca seremos uno,
Pero el y yo somos dos en un mismo mundo.

Vacation. (or, rather 26 days til W-Day)

Hi!

So, I am addicted to blogs. No, not writing in them (obviously), but reading them. Yes, a bit voyeuristic (no, I don't care about spelling at the moment), though I do post on some. or have posted at some point in the past.

Why? Well, lack of social interaction, maybe. Lack of emails, most definitely. I dunno, it's interesting to learn about peoples lives. Most of the blogs I read are from strangers that live in the UK, bc I really miss London. But, believe it or not, (I think) I am a good listener bc it's interesting to hear what people say and how. Of course I read the blogs of people I know too, and that's cool on a different level, I guess. I dunno.

Yeah, I'm a bit bored, but with plenty to do.
Like FINISH packing... I pack for like an hour each day and then get engulfed in the internet, or letters from who knows whom from way back when. And wedding stuff.

Most of which is completed. Kind of. Most is assembled, yes.

Um. Went to see cars today with Ryan. Very very good. Ryan is in love with Pixar, I think. More in love with me. But still in love with Pixar. :P Haha

And went to Island's with Melissa, Matt, Claudia and Frito. That was fun!! and they helped me assemble wedding stuff.

And we swam a few laps in the pool (I was a bit lazy though) at Ryan's.

Happy fourth of July.
