Wow, (relatively) long time no update! eeek.

Wow it's already been 3 days since I've updated. That's kind of awkward, considering that I updated so much last month. I guess these few days have been a little more hectic. Ever since New Year's day I haven't really had time to have a meaningful update. And I really hate updating with a sorry, short, good-for-nothing type of update that just kind of wastes your time.

New Year's Day was spent preparing for our voyage back to Austin, which included running errands here and there to get last minute Houston stuff because who knows when we could find time to even go back. Then after we got back into Austin I didn't have much time before I had to sleep because I had work on Tuesday at 12 noon. Then work lasted until 9pm, and I was really tired because I had really forgotten what it felt like to work such long shifts.

Then Wednesday I had another long shift, 12-9, and was too tired when I came home again. Basically, it was just a repeat of Tuesday. And tonight is pretty much the same, except I have to wake up even earlier tomorrow so I haven't really slept yet since I got off work tonight.

Nothing big has happened and I don't have much to write about I suppose. This Saturday I'm going to start volunteering at the SPCA hopefully as a dog walker. I'm pretty excited about that, except that the orientation starts butt freaking early at 9AM. Tomorrow I have to wake up fairly early to go wait in line at the DPS to get a new license since I lost my unexpired one. I went through a lot of trouble to make sure that my license wasn't suspended, including paying off a hefty ass $457 old citation ticket. *sigh, that's a lot of money there.

Wow, my life sounds so mundane. But I really like the start of 2007 so far. Things aren't as chaotic and life is extremely comfortable. :]

Helllooooo 2007.

Yesterday's New Year's Eve celebration was pretty off the chain. I only drank a few Malibu Pineapples (very yummy! It's my new drink of choice) and then a few Grey Goose + Pineapple juices and I got pretty damn drunk. It's been awhile since I got to that level.

I met a lot of new, nice friends of Bao's. I know that if I move to Houston this year it won't be that bad because there's people like them out there to help buffer my move.

And then there's my family here too..and all of my oldschool friends. Speaking of, at the party I saw one of my ex's big brother there! Such a small world.. I remember in high school he drove me home once because I was too fucked up to drive and I had no car. He was so nice because he didn't even know me and he drove me all the way home from Bellaire and then all the way back!

Oh how I miss them carefree high school days.
But I kinda like these grown up days too.

Hhaha I've started to play WOW because Bao and his friends always talk about it that I wanted to see what's so damn great about it and I have to admit, it's kind of fun. Damn it, and it's kind of addicting too now that I think about it. *sigh let's see if I'm still playing it in 3 months though. That's the true test.

Anyway, welcome 2007..let it be a great year.

Success!!!

I finished baking the cookies around 6pm and they were a big success! Except I should have used fine salt instead of coarse kosher salt, and I should have let them bake for a little longer than 10 minutes even though the recipe calls for 8-10 minutes.

I found the snickerdood recipe on allrecipes.com and it was REALLY super easy to do and the results came out great. I honestly can't cook a damn thing and I managed to make these cookies come out, so if you ever need a snickerdoodle recipe use that one!

Anyway, after baking the cookies I went to Bao's house and his older sister Netha had her puppy and baby Aiko over! The puppy, a rat terrier, was sooo tiny and only 2 months old. He kept playing with Tequila and Tequila kept putting her mouth over his entire neck (that's how small the puppy was!). Then the dog kept trying to suck Tequila's nipples for milk, lol! Tequila was unamused when he tried to do that.

Later we went to watch Rocky Balboa. It wasn't all that bad!! (and this is coming from a GIRL that likes to watch GIRLY movies) I just had to pee really bad but I didn't want to leave the theater because it was a small theater and to get out I would have to walk in front of people, and plus I didn't want to miss the final fight scene.

All in all, today was a good day. And tomorrow is my last day in Houston. Dimsum and party it up with our 3 handles of fine liquor.

1 bottle Patron..$45.00
1 bottle Grey Goose..$30.00
1 bottle of Malibu Rum..$15.00
6 cans of pineapple juice..$5.00
ice..1.00
Puking all night on my first new year's eve as 21 = PRICELESS.

I don't know if i'll go overboard because I have to drive back to Austin the next day.

Happy early new year's if I don't have time to update!

I think my ear is infected. Great.

I got my cartilage pierced more than 2 years ago and it had healed initially. Then I took out the stud and replaced it with a loop earring and ever since then it has been going downhill.

Recently there's been a massive lump forming around the piercing on the back side and I can't get the ring out of my ear because it wasn't the type made for the cartilage. Also it hurts a lot if I try to move it too much. I'm really scared that if I go to the doctor they're going to cut off my ear or something. Seriously.

I don't know what to do. I can't get the earring out but I really need to. Sigh, I hate going to doctors too; I don't feel like getting a lecture and fat bill from them.

This is great, just great. I think it's 2006's last shit gift to me before 2007 comes. Kinda like it's trying to rain down on my excitement for the arrival of 2007.

Holiday Break Coming to and End Already..

My holiday break is coming to an end because I count going back to work not part of my holidays. Anything that requires me to put effort into focusing on something like counting pills or studying new material I consider WORK.

But that's okay in a way; I think I've become a workaholic. I definitely used to be more of an alcoholic than a workaholic but now it's completely the opposite. I rarely go out anymore. It's not that I don't want to go out, it's just that I'd prefer not to anymore. Going out is fun and all, but there's so much other stuff I could be doing instead of paying to put EtOH in my body and harming my liver even more.

Just listen to me go. I think I've really settled down this year. I think that's what 2006 was all about. I mean if I had to choose one word to describe 2006, it would be just that: SETTLED DOWN. okok, that's two words, but you know what i mean.

I know that 2007 might be crazy because I have no idea what 2007 holds for me. For example, in 2006 I knew that I was going to stay in Austin for my undergraduate studies and that I'd be living in my apartment, etc. etc. But in 2007, I might be changing cities, choosing a new place to live, and having to start over at a school where I know nobody.

I guess change is good, but it can also be bad. It is just what it is, and we can either make it better or worse. But change should get it's own post because I have a lot to say on it and we'll save it for another day.

Looking back, this holiday wasn't one of the greatest I've had. Las Vegas wasn't as fun as it should have been, Christmas wasn't as cold as it should have been, and it just didn't feel like the holidays. Oh well..I guess even yeared holidays seasons are bad for me (remembering: Holiday Season '02..what a nightmare).

3 more days until 2007. Goodbye 2006, you have been .....settling for me.

It's Christmas Eve..!

Wow Blogger lets you upload pics?? Cool.. This is just a random picture of me on my brother's computer, taken with his logitech webcam, hee hee.

Anyway, I still can't believe it's Christmas Eve already. Another year has come and gone by so fast. I'm hoping 2007 will be a good year. Things to look forward to:
-Graduating
-Pharmacy School possibly
-Moving to another city
-Vegas sometime in the spring hopefully
-A visit to SF to eat French Laundry
-and more..

Ah, no time to update. Must go eat C. Eve Dinner. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it, and Happy Gift Receiving to those who do not (like me).
