Hang on, Hang on
Yes it's the little things
Yes it's the little things
That do us harm
I'm not a stranger
Ain't a mystery
When we both get it wrong
Stay here for a little while more
Cause it's the funny things
Yes it's the funny things
I need a friend
Not an angel
What do you do when the drowning stops
And what you though was a hurricane
Was just the rustling of the wind
Why you think we need amazing grace
Just to tell it like it is
Well, I don't need no doctor to tear me all apart
I just need you, to mend my heart
Hang on, I'll try to look you in the eye
You know you should've apologized
Or should I've apologized
Is there an answer
What do you do when the drowning stops
And what you thought was a hurricane
Was just the rustling of the wind
Why you think we need amazing grace
Just to tell like it is
Oh, I don't need no doctor
To tear me all apart
I just need you, to mend my Hea-a-art
I need you
To mend my heart

Chain Reaction
So Caicos and I are living with at my parents' house, and she's having to deal with April (the dog) and Boots (the cat). Caicos is afraid of both of them. April is also afraid of Caicos, and Boots hates Caicos. He always mounts her and bites her neck to show he's the dominant cat, poor Caicos :(
There's this one crazy thing that has happened about five times now: All three are relaxing, just lying around. Maybe just standing around in the kitchen. April for some reason will either get startled or jump up quickly if she hears something. She's all weird about the tile and wood flooring in the house and isn't comfortable moving around on it, so she's all shaky. A couple times, she'll be standing behind my mom in the kitchen, waiting for some snackies, and my mom won't know she's right behind her. So my mom will step back and kinda kick April, which scares the shit out of her, and the slips and makes all kinds of noise. Weirdo. Caicos, in turn, gets startled, runs a little, then comes back and tries to attack April! Her back and tail fluff up, and she hisses and bats at her! She can't hurt April because she doesn't have front claws, but April is still scared and tries to walk away (she can't run...tile floor!). Boots, in turn (and maybe in trying to protect April?), will go after Caicos! And Boots CAN hurt Caicos. He has claws and one canine tooth. So on one occasion my mom was trying to keep Caicos from April and I'm trying to keep Boots from Caicos and poor April is just cowering like a wimp, looking at us like "heeelllllpppp meeeee!" Hahaha it's such a weird chain reaction. Crazy animals.

Moving on
Well I graduated a little over a month ago, had a good couple weeks of partying with friends who were in town for the break, and now am left with nearly complete boredom in Santa Fe.
I got a promotion through Hallmark which probably won't start until just after Valentine's Day, and even after that will be very sporadic, but it pays well. Today I got a call from Farmer's Insurance, they found my through monster.com! I was very surprised to actually get a response through that! They are looking for a Claims Rep, which sounds cool. I've got a phone interview with them tomorrow! It's so exciting to finally be really starting the job search! Up until now I've just been generally unmotivated, and for all the positions I did find I found myself to feel really under qualified or really overqualified.
The past 3 weeks or so I've seen very little of my friends, and my days have revolved around working out and watching tv. I'm glad I have the time to get back into working out, but I get impatient waiting for it to pay off! Should start seeing results soon. I'm on my 4th week.
Soon I'll start the process of moving out of my apartment in Albuquerque, my lease ends at the end of February, and then the plan is for Meghan and I to move into Matt's house! I'm excited to NOT live in my parents' house. It's been long enough already. I feel like it's a step in the opposite direction to be living with them again.

Together But Lonely
Wow, I accidentally stumbled upon my blog! I haven't seen this thing in like a year and half -- weird. Especially since my most recent posts are bitching about classes I barely even remember...and now I'm graduating in a month! Its so crazy to think this is finally happening! I'm finally done with school! I don't even know what to do with myself. What I'm going to do with myself...
Life is pretty good, if kinda lame, these days. I'm living on my own, which I love, because I can walk around naked, fart, and not worry about other people messing with my shit. But some times it can get kinda lonely. I've found that a lot of days go by without much conversation, except some between me and my cat, Caicos. But most week days are class, homework, class, homework, class. I usually don't talk to people in my classes, and come home in between since I literally live half a block from campus. I'm definitely ready for a big change. I'm so over this.
Of course I still love the people in my life -- my family, Matt, my friends. I just wish I saw them more. I feel like I'll never meet new people, but I guess I'll have to after I graduate, since it is very likely I will see even less of my few friends.
As of right now my "plan" after graduation is to just work in Santa Fe for a while, living with my parents probably...just save some money, then I would LOVE to travel more. Definitely more in Mexico and South America.
Right now I'm just trying to find mysef.

Bluegrass, anyone?
Well since the Warehouse is an asshole and declined my request for Dave tickets, I'm one step closer to not seeing DMB this summer.
But since I saved money NOT getting Dave tickets, this further pushes me to go see Guster at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival on Friday, June 22. Its $60 for day passes for Friday and $50 for the only camping left. Check it out:
http://www.bluegrass.com/telluride/tickets.html
I think this would be really really fun!! Anyone interested??

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I'M FALLING
I don't understand why I am having such a freakin hard time finding a job this semester. I just checked my email and was rejected by another job. This time I was really counting on it too, it was an office job through UNM, it would have been really sweet. Nice and easy, slow paced, a limit on work hours, wouldn't have to work weekends/holidays. Its especially nice with holidays, since I usually have to quit a fall semester job so I can go home for the month of winter break, only to look for a new job for spring semester, then quit for the summer, over and over. It really sucks. And I really thought I would get this one. But they decided "not to hire additional help." The fuckers. I'm so discouraged, hurt, mad, sad, confused. This week has royaly sucked. I feel horrible lately, in so many aspects.

"Gimme Some Lovin'" by G Love
Gimmie some lovin' early in the mornin'
i just woke up with this appitite,
common gimme lovin' in the morning light
Gimme some lovin' early in the mornin'
i just woke with this appitite,
common gimmie lovin' in the morning light
Some people like it in the afternoon,
i dont' think i could wait that soon
Common gimmie love in the morning light
Some people like it late at night,
i could wait that long, but i don't think i might
common gimme love in the morning light
I'm gonna love you softly and love you sweet
i can feel you heartbeat
i need your attention to get me started right.
i'm gonna wake you up with a kiss on the cheek
come a little close, open up to me
good morning baby, good morning baby
open your eyes just a little bit
good morning sunshine, i can't resist
dreamin' about you baby all through the night

LOUIE LOUIE, ALL WE WANT IS MUSIC
Well hi! I don't really know why I don't blog anymore. I think its because I feel like my writing skills are a lot worse than they used to be in high school, and I don't want people to know I'm stupid. Although I apparently don't really care, since I just said it.
I'm getting old -- I get heartburn. At least that's what I think the pain in my chest is. It makes me feel like I'm gonna have a little upchuck. Maybe I'll nipple on a Tums. Don't things like Chili dogs give you heartburn? I ate Vegetable Beef and gingerbread from Souper Salad, and the DELICIOUS honey mustard kettle chips that I am "naturally addicted" to (that's what it says on the bag). Do those things give you heartburn? I bet its just my old age. I'm not even a teenager anymore. It a really weird thought at first, when it all went down in May. But now...I feel appropriate. Teenagers are dumb. And I ... "I am a responsible, confident, beautiful business woman." That comes directly to you, courtesy of Ugly Betty. Its an alright show.
I really like it when I get stuck on listening to the same cd over and over. And then when I listen to that cd later on in life, it reminds me of things that were going on when I was obsessed with it. Like Jimmy Eat World. They remind me of driving around Santa Fe with Irena the summer after we graduated. They remind of really fun times with friends. And Dave's solo album "Some Devil" reminds me of winter and snow, because it came out around then, so when I was always listening to it it was snowy and cold and wonderful. Jack Johnson is definitely my summer music. More specifically my drive-around-Santa-Fe-with-my-windows-down-during-the-summer music. John Mayer is usually colder weather music. He's good fall and winter music. I'm pretty sure Teitur will always remind me of fall. "Poetry and Aeroplanes," his 1st (?) cd, makes me think of fun times back in the DeVargas dorm with Becca. During Fall, of course. I remember we listened to "Josephine" (a song on that cd) over and over for a couple days. And now I've been listening to his next cd, "Stay Under The Stars" for a good solid week. I've had it for a while, wasn't digging it all that much, but now I'm listening more closely, and I love it. I just don't like his cover of Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire." Its slow, kinda morbid and cold. Too weird for me, coming from Teitur.
But man, I love fall. Its getting cold! Its already snowing in Ft. Collin's, CO, which is where Kat's living these days. Yes yes, she's left us all. I demand she returns immediately. I can't not be around her, its killing me! I can't wait to see her next weekend. Except I'm kinda stressed about it, since I don't have money. I can't afford the trip. As of now it looks like its just Paula, Uri, and I going (Brian and Alex pussed out of course). I'll just have to borrow money, and definitely pay it back ASAP. I've been job hunting like crazy, but its just not happening as easily as it usually does. Its really frustrating.
I think the Tums helped my heartburn. They aren't kidding when they say fast acting! Way to go, Tums. We should hang out more often.

OUT OF THE DARKNESS COMES LIGHT
I'm free!! I finished my last exam on Monday, and I haven't done shit since!
Yesterday I slept till 12:30 and spent my whole day on the couch watching tv. It was great. I took a break to take a shower, and that was about it!
Josh called me this morning with bad news. Cooper was run over last night. Josh and I shared a house last year, and we got a cat, Cooper. He was awesome. Given, he wasn't neutered, so he pissed on everything, which was great, but he kicked ass. When he meowed it sounded like he was saying "hello." And he was a tough fucker. And last night someone ran him over in Josh's apartment complex. Very sad.
Saturday we had our last party here. It was kick ass. Alot of people showed up, and we were very very close to getting caught. The RA looked through everything, but we hid all the alcohol just in time! It was very scary, and we all got very drunk. And a record of 4 people got sick! I think it may have been the really spicy (with spices, not like hot-spicy) punch I made with The Captain. It was delicous, but I probably would have thrown up too if I drank more of it. It was awesome.
I packed up most of my room in less than an hour. Tomorrow I just have to take down my posters, pack up my clothes, get my bed out of my room, and clean the living room. And I have all day to do this. No problem.
Tonight Becca, Paula, Brian, and I are going to The Melting Pot! How exciting!! Fondue! I've never had it, and shit, dipping food in cheese?! Does it get any better? I don't think so!

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU'D COME ALONG
Well school is almost over! I'm so excited. I hate my classes this semester. I'm taking two classes that aren't worth my time or effort (so I don't put any into them!), which are Earth and Planetary Sciences (I like to call it FUCKEPS) and Geography (which has seriously the worst teacher I've ever had. She can't teach!). I haven't been to those classes in about.....2 months. And then there's Spanish, which wasn't hard, but I didn't learn anything. Its a writing class, and I haven't improved my writing at all this semester. I don't like the teacher. She wastes our time. Then I have my Env Sci Lab, which is awesome. The people at my table are chill, as is the TA. She's honest and funny and a little mean, which I like. Then I have tennis, which is always fun. I love tennis. I rock at it. And I don't go to aerobics because I hurt my shoulder.
So! This semester sucks, school-wise. So I never go, but I work alot. I always look forward to work, mainly because I love the people I work with. The managers are way cool (most of them) and my co-workers are hilarious. I'll miss them all over the summer, but I'm sure I'll be back in the fall.
For the summer I got a job at a restaurant that is opening in a few weeks called Blueberry. Its a mostly-organic restaurant just open for breakfast and lunch, which means early mornings, but evenings off, which is sweet! I'm excited. I'll work as a server, but the owner said he'll probably train me to be a PREP COOK!!! I want to be a chef, and I really want to learn about it, so that's way exciting.
Those are my only plans for summer, to work full-time, make some money (and save it). And of course plans to camp and take some road trips to concerts. Even though DMB isn't till school starts again. But Beck is coming to the Keva Auditorium, which is on campus, on June 23rd. Matt and I are going to that. Nine Inch Nails are playing at the JP on my birthday (5.31), which I think I'll go too, since I've got connections to get free tickets.
I've got finals and papers due this week, and my last final is on Monday, then I'm FREE!! My last day of work is Friday, which is sad. Only two more days :(

PANTALA NAGA PAMPA
This past weekend was the trip to Tempe, AZ, and did I have FUN!!!! Matt, Kat, Becca and I finally got around to leaving at 10am Friday morning. The drive there was fun and quick. We checked into our hotel and went to pick up Kat's "friend" Chris from the Air Force Base. We went and ate at Chipotle, which, if you haven't ever been there, is a really really good burrito place. Huge burritos. Impossible to finish. Then we went back to the hotel, where Becca's cousin, who lives in that area, met us. Some drunk guys in the room next door hung out, and we eventually all hit the sack: Matt and I in the one bed in the room. Kat and Chris on Matt's inflatable mattress, and Becca on the shady rollaway bed the hotel charged us $10 for. We were all up and at 'em sometime in the morning, we went and ate breakfast at In & Out Burgers, which I had never been too, and is really yummy, but like Blake's Lottaburger. We then made our way to some record stores and a Buffalo Exchange. I bought 3 DMB cds that were included in the stolen batch for like 6 bucks each. They're used, but in great condition. I also bought a LIVE DAVID BOWIE record and a Tom Jones Greatest Hits record!! I haven't listened to them yet since the record player is in Santa Fe, they are definitely cool to own. We found some parking near the art/music festivals, Becca made us some really strong drinks, and we began the drunken adventures at about 3. We checked out the art fest for a while, downing our strong strong STRONG drinks. Becca, you're a horrible bartender. We walked over to where the music fest was, and noticed we were missing the Gin Blossoms, but we got to hear "Hey Jealousy" outside the place. They didn't allow bottles, so we finished our drinks, and hid a bottle full of vodka in our bag of popcorn, which went off without a hitch. We went in, walked around, got free keychains for the postcards Matt brought (thank you sweety!) and finally settled into a place. Vertical Horizon came on, they were ok, we had already seen them, I walked around with Becca. We checked out the School Of Rock Kids on another stage, they were kick ass. They were really talented and seemed like they were way jamming, but some asshole, their manager maybe, was up stage, like, conducting them the whole time, telling them where to stand, when to solo, while they were playing!! It was pissing everyone off, especially Becca. We went back to the main stage for G Love, where a drunken fight occured. Becca and I went back to the other stage to see Alien Ant Farm, which was fun. Then we shopped. We bought lots of lemonade as a chaser and bought tie-dyed clothing. I was too drunk to care about sizes, so now I have a tank top that is really cool, color-wise, but is too big. But the skirt I bought looks like I'm on fire and is long and wavy and so kick ass. We walked around during Train, who I don't like. They played some covers, like Aerosmith's "Dream On," and something else I don't remember. Then we went back to John Mayer Trio, who was AWESOME!! They were awesome in Denver, and they were even awesomer in Tempe, because I was quite drunk. We danced around and had fun and I loved it! We took the long walk back to the car, where we stopped along the way to dance to drums and later to a guy playing Beatles' songs. I managed to give him the little bit of cash I had left. We dropped off Matt and Chris at the hotel and went to a little mexican food place next door. I ordered, drunkenly, in spanish, and discovered they didn't take cards. So Kat put our order together and paid for me. But they only gave us her food, which was ok. The burrito she ordered was SO GOOD!! And we got HORCHATA!!!!! I love horchata, oh my god. Then we went back to the hotel and died. I think it was about 2am. I have never stayed drunk for so long, especially without going to sleep!! It was awesome. Sunday we got up and went to the coolest store, IKEA. Its a giant swedish housewares store. They had a really good swedish food court thingy, where I had meatballs. This store was aweome. It was the biggest thing I had ever been in. We lost Becca, and then Matt and I lost Kat and Chris. It took forever to find each other. They had so many displays of kitchens and living rooms and bedrooms!! It was so different from other stores. So fun. We didn't have too much time, but I bought a little orange rug for the bathroom and some batteries. Chris' friend picked him up and we made our way back, stopping in some dinky ass town for Italian food. It seemed like forever getting back, it was hell. I was too tired to drive, and Kat almost got us hit by a semi truck, after which Matt drove. We finally got back at midnight.
I loved the trip overall. There were a few bumps in the road, but I had a great time with my friends and Matt. I love roadtrips, I can't wait to do it again!!
This past weekend was the trip to Tempe, AZ, and did I have FUN!!!! Matt, Kat, Becca and I finally got around to leaving at 10am Friday morning. The drive there was fun and quick. We checked into our hotel and went to pick up Kat's "friend" Chris from the Air Force Base. We went and ate at Chipotle, which, if you haven't ever been there, is a really really good burrito place. Huge burritos. Impossible to finish. Then we went back to the hotel, where Becca's cousin, who lives in that area, met us. Some drunk guys in the room next door hung out, and we eventually all hit the sack: Matt and I in the one bed in the room. Kat and Chris on Matt's inflatable mattress, and Becca on the shady rollaway bed the hotel charged us $10 for. We were all up and at 'em sometime in the morning, we went and ate breakfast at In & Out Burgers, which I had never been too, and is really yummy, but like Blake's Lottaburger. We then made our way to some record stores and a Buffalo Exchange. I bought 3 DMB cds that were included in the stolen batch for like 6 bucks each. They're used, but in great condition. I also bought a LIVE DAVID BOWIE record and a Tom Jones Greatest Hits record!! I haven't listened to them yet since the record player is in Santa Fe, they are definitely cool to own. We found some parking near the art/music festivals, Becca made us some really strong drinks, and we began the drunken adventures at about 3. We checked out the art fest for a while, downing our strong strong STRONG drinks. Becca, you're a horrible bartender. We walked over to where the music fest was, and noticed we were missing the Gin Blossoms, but we got to hear "Hey Jealousy" outside the place. They didn't allow bottles, so we finished our drinks, and hid a bottle full of vodka in our bag of popcorn, which went off without a hitch. We went in, walked around, got free keychains for the postcards Matt brought (thank you sweety!) and finally settled into a place. Vertical Horizon came on, they were ok, we had already seen them, I walked around with Becca. We checked out the School Of Rock Kids on another stage, they were kick ass. They were really talented and seemed like they were way jamming, but some asshole, their manager maybe, was up stage, like, conducting them the whole time, telling them where to stand, when to solo, while they were playing!! It was pissing everyone off, especially Becca. We went back to the main stage for G Love, where a drunken fight occured. Becca and I went back to the other stage to see Alien Ant Farm, which was fun. Then we shopped. We bought lots of lemonade as a chaser and bought tie-dyed clothing. I was too drunk to care about sizes, so now I have a tank top that is really cool, color-wise, but is too big. But the skirt I bought looks like I'm on fire and is long and wavy and so kick ass. We walked around during Train, who I don't like. They played some covers, like Aerosmith's "Dream On," and something else I don't remember. Then we went back to John Mayer Trio, who was AWESOME!! They were awesome in Denver, and they were even awesomer in Tempe, because I was quite drunk. We danced around and had fun and I loved it!
