Week of July 4th

So this is a week of up and downs...highs and lows.

So I won't lie. I like this guy. At this point it just high interest...no attachments. I think previous relationships have taught me that and I don't know if it's really a good or bad thing. I mean, obviously it's good, but it's gonna take the guy a while for me to really trust him. I dunno, everything seems to depend on the situation or the person...so nevermind. Scratch that I'm trying to describe something that can't be described in only one way. Someone said I don't give people a chance. This is true. Why some and not others...that's even a mystery to me. Sometimes I don't give perfectly legit guys a chance. Oh well. That probably goes for everyone really.

Weekly Recap

So it's been a while and I'll probably do some backdating on some previous posts, but here's a quick recap since school pretty much got out around my birthday...

Thursday, 6/14 :

• IBM Coop BBQ - Which was awesome. Nathan and I won the water balloon toss. And I got to meet a lot of the coops for the first time. Became pretty good friends on that day with Alana, Jimmy and Nathan.

Friday, 6/15 :

• Work at IBM in the morning
• Lunch with Davidson over at the Googleplex. Yay for connections. The food is good. And lunch time at google is like a gigantic party.
• Take off after lunch straight to SLO-town to keep working on moving out of the Los Cerros House
• Do a lot of moving and cleaning in SLO, go out and meet some friends downtown at night, then go hang out at Russell's apartment with his roommates and drink Pina Colatas <- I can't spell I know.

Saturday, 6/16 :

• Sleep in until about 1:30pm <- omg!
  
• Do some moving work to storage
• 3pm - Lunch with Tyler and Dustin at Nucci's
• More moving
• 8:30pm - Drive up to San Jose - Now the intention was to be up in SF for my birthday...which fell through because even though I could have pulled it off with my good friends, by that time I was beyond pooped after a day of moving and driving, so I decided to just call it a night at my place.

Sunday, 6/17 :

• 1:30am - Russell comes over and we celebrate over a few beers and stories :)
• 10:30am - Shopping at Oakridge. Who woulda thought that colors were so important? Bought my new longboard to cruise around on. I sucked at boarding at this point lol. And go figure it's called the NorCal...didn't live that one down so well lol.
• Cancel all my birthday plans to just kick back and relax with Kim. We made beef stroganoff for lunch and went for a longboard ride around the neighborhood.
• Got ready and met Gloria up in SF for a birthday dinner.
• Dinner at Osha's with Gloria, Kim, and Russell.
• Got lost in San Francisco and crossed a bridge...oops.
• Dropped off Gloria and Kim.
• Couldn't find Steve in Downtown San Jose.
• 12:30am - Ran out of gas looking for Steve. Did some car pushing. Got some random help from some gansta looking kids. Some guy almost hit my car in the lot with his truck to stop and ask us for a light. <- shady!
  
• 1:30am - Skateboarded around downtown SJ looking for an open gas station...no luck.
  
• 2:30am - AAA saved us.
• 3:00am - Got home safely. Poor Russ crashing at my place had to get ready before his first day of work in...five hours lol.
  
• 4:30am - Finally got to sleep.

Monday, 6/18 :

• Work at IBM...late
• Dinner with Russ
• 11pm - Took a joy ride around town to charge a car battery lol.

• Drove to Santa Cruz to hang out and hit up a bar

Tuesday, 6/26 :

• Go through hell day because of work stress and old housing issues going on in SLO. I was called unreasonable for not being able to just take the next day (tomorrow) off on a whim. I work full-time! + a deadline.
• Go through more headache and heartache after work over all this housing crap.
• Go to Safeway to pick up a ton of food for my Good Belly Food Party on Wednesday. Wow that cost a lot lol. But it'll be worth it. :)

Thursday, 6/28 :

• In good company. Watched America's Sweethearts (it's eh okay). Did a lot of laundry.

Friday, 6/29 :

• Sigh, I got stood up for a movie which I had turned down other plans for, but it's alright. Probably my fault for not finding out sooner.
• Went to downtown Mountain View. Cute little street. We watched a pretty violent bar fight. Nobody got hurt though.
• I'm dating? I never know how this relations stuff works anymore. I feel like I've made my mistakes and learned from them, been taken advantage of before, had flings (didn't think they were at the time though). I don't want drama...I just want to have fun with the people I care about. And it feels good to have someone you care about. :)
  

Saturday, 6/30 :

• Slept in.
• Lunch with Kimmers.
• Drive to San Francisco to check out the Golden Gate Park. No archery today cause the place was closed (despite the sign that says open Mon - Sat...that's silly). But we had fun and checked the place out...bison, fields, ducks, polo field, fitness trail, interesting paths that look like they lead somewhere...
• Sugar low...I'm asleep so fast in the car ride home.
• Eat a lot back at Kim's house.
• Meet Russell at Adobe, check out the place (uh, way awesome) office and game room.
• Get frustrated with night plans and who's doing what.
• Walk around being silly on the streets of Downtown SJ.
  
• Fahrenheit Lounge
• Haha sardines!

Sunday, 7/1 :

• Homemade pancakes for breakfast on the patio.
• Hang out with Gloria at Santana Row and grab some food in downtown San Jose.
• Take a five hour nap.
• Write this recap.
