hello live journal
It has been a while.
I'm going to summer school. I just finished my documentary film class and i just started 'writing for media.' interesting... I'm actually really excited about this class. I have it for three hours, four days a week and the time flys by. I am now officially switched from Bio to Journalism. I'm ready to actually enjoy school :)
I am homeless. It sucks. I'm living in my friend Charlie's apartment because he is back home for the summer and I dont have a place to live yet. Laura and I house-hunt for hours every day and still nothing works out. It is so frustrating. Oh well. Something will have to turn up some time.
I have a boyfriend. weird? maybe haha. Funny the way things turn out. His name is Kurt, and i'm a very happy girl.
I dont have too much else to say. I think I'll be writing more. I need a place to vent.

for those of you who don't know, my sister has been in france for about 2-3 months now. i miss her tons, and i cant explain my excitment.
Dear Pellets (a.k.a. my favorite person in the whole wide world),
I've finally gotten around to sending my postcards, and since you are the sister/best friend and only person i actually feel like sending stuff to, i've sent you a few. consider yourslf loved :) I will be there in less then a month! Yay! We are gonna have coffee + cocktails galore! Hmmm I think this has been a bit too nice. you're a dork. yes, thats better. As you can see I'm still one too. I've discovered the stationary shop and had a little to much fun. I unfortunately like pretty paper + stamps more than I like actually writing people. (except you of course) Oh well... Otherwise teaching um... le sucks... as the french would say. Can't wait for a break. Maybe you can hide me in the closet + I wont have to come back. see you soon!
love, Erika <3
here is a pic of her little village.

I must say, thanksgiving this year was nothing short of perfect. The only way it could have been better was if my sister had been there. My parents rented an amazing hotel in morro bay and i went up there with them for a night. Thanksgiving day consisted of driving around the town, eating candy, watching the ocean and spending quality time with my parents. The actual dinner was delicious. We had reservations at a restaurant on the water at sunset. I couldnt help but look up at my mom and dad and think... these are the times I'm supposed to cherish. One day I wont be able to sit with them and laugh about my childhood, the weather, their lives. Makes me sad, but at least i know i should appreciate them. I need to remember to pick up the phone and hear their voices while I can.
AND i finally saw RENT. It was so much more then i could have ever imagined. I've been waiting for this moment for 7 or 8 years. I feel like i know those characters inside and out, and there they were... on the screen. I have never been so emotionally jolted by anything in my entire life haha. The actors were brilliant and their performances left me in tears. The musical numbers were shot really well. Even my parents enjoyed it. I cant wait to go again... and again... and again. if you havent seen it, you need to go!
Now i'm alone in SLO while everyone else is home. At least i have the cat i'm watching to keep me company. The little shit took a pee on my bed yesterday. whatever... i have to work at 6 in the morning tomorrow. I cant wait till people get back into town. I cant wait till my sister comes home next month. I cant wait till my trip to santa cruz on Monday.
PS i cant believe i'm watching Titanic right now...

3) I'll tell you where/how I picture you/your life in 10 years.
4) I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5) I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6) I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.

me still laughing at the stupid graph on that quiz. not ok. |

the Idiot Savant
(26% dark, 65% spontaneous, 50% vulgar) | your humor style:
VULGAR | SPONTANEOUS | LIGHT
You like things silly, immediate, and, above all, outrageous. Ixne on
the subtle word play, more testicles on fire, please. People like you
are the most likely to RECEIVE internet forwards--and also the most
likely to save them in a special folder entitled 'HOLY SHIT'.
Because it's so easily appreciated, and often a little physical, your
sense of humor never ceases to amuse your friends. But most realize
that there's a sly intelligence and a knowing wink to your tastes. Your
sense of humor could be called 'anti-pretentious'--but ironically, that
definitely indicates you're smarter than most.
PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Johnny Knoxville - Jimmy Kimmel |  |
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 0% on dark | | You scored higher than 84% on spontaneous | | You scored higher than 73% on vulgar |

I have decided that the Burger King parking lot by my house is my poor spot. I know i've reached the lowest of the low when i'm sitting 30 feet from the drive through eating my .99 cent chicken tenders thinking about how i'm going to make it tomorrow with no cash. I go to BK when i dont have any food at the house and no gas to get anywhere else. I can't go to VONS and get any groceries and I can't even get to school or work with the amount of gas I have in my car. I get a check in two weeks and as of right now I'm clueless. I was talking to my dad today and i mentioned my money problems.. his response is "didn't you get the check i sent you? I sent you $200 a couple weeks ago."
I never received that check, and I can't explain my frustration. I called the post office and they are all worthless bitches.
I'm a little bitter in case you haven't noticed. I also have too much pride to borrow money from friends.
I don't understand how its possible to have so much, yet so little at the same time.
I'm also being faced with the questions of what the hell am I going to do with the rest of my life.
I need to decide what i'm changing my major to by the end of August and I don't have a clue. I'm loving my recording arts class, but could i really make it my life? Am I even that good at it? Do I feel up for the struggle and work? probably not...
I'm smart and capable... this shouldnt be so hard.
i guess I can start by narrowing it down to what i know i'm not going to do.
I'm not going to clean people's toilets, teach little kids, or spread the word of God.
wow, glad I got that settled

well, Rent the movie comes out in the fall. I can't wait. i almost cried when the preview came on tonight. most of the cast in the movie is from the original musical production/soundtrack. its going to be amazing.
Taye Diggs is way too hot.
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are, my love,

the lady in the picture with me is Kelly. I believe that pic is from my Oregon trip. best trip i've ever had.
hello everybody.
i haven't updated in years and thought i'd stop in. Since I've been on here i've been all over the place, (vegas, the grand canyon, oregon, lancaster and such...), finished up my first year of college with all As and Bs, AND i'm currently living in oceanside/san diego for the summer.
The house i'm living in is pretty amazing. I'm living with my friends Kelly and Lauren. Its one of Kelly's family's many houses... kinda crazy, but i love the freedom :) I started summer school today, and the quest for a job will be coming to an end soon. I'm pretty sure i'll be workin at crate and barrel until september. I'm eating really healthy, and running every day. I'll be looking forward to many nights of drinking, many shows, and lots of fun times.
life is good.
some of you people really need to visit me down here. you know who you are!
and PS i finally got a car. woot woot.

the beautiful thing about melted chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is that its really easy to pick out all the dough pieces and avoid the fuss.
my freezer really sucks. You should see me in my sweats, eating melted ice cream, watching E!

ok so you know that little throat thing i was complaining about earlier?
yeah
i have mono
the worst thing is that i gave it to Kris, and probably Laura. I have never felt this shitty in my entire life... I dont even feel like eating, showering, or talking. everything hurts, and i have a fever every day. so i dont know, feel bad for me?
Bev Be Gone IV on friday night was awesome. I think, regardless of being super sick, i needed to see my friends. It was so nice seeing kel... its been a while :)
i slept all day saturday in my own bed at home which was the best. I guess i have missed my family, my cats, and my dad's home cooked meals. That night it was raining and Kris took me to Mojos to get me some chai. Then we went back to his place and watched Harry Potter in front of the fire.
I hope my school work doesnt suffer too much. i dont even know what to do. ugh :( Right now i cant even think of one thing i'm looking forward to. i hope i feel better soon, this is just ridiculous.

I'm really happy but overloaded with work. dont worry, i'll still have a good time. lord knows what Kris has up his sleeve for me on thursday... All i can say is that this weekend in san diego will be amazing.

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
i like my dorm more then i thought. i'll take pics soon :) I have been so sleepy lately, this whole "WOW" week isnt working out for me. I'm living with my friend Laura. Laura and i were best friends growing up, but we went separate ways when high school came around.
my birthday is in two weeks. Hmmmmmm, oh the possibilities.
