| so today i went to six flags, i have a season pass with my roomates, we finally rode X2 after waiting 2.5 hours. we had the flash pass so we rode a few more and after being there for 5 hours we realized we were ridiculously tired. we headed to the new location of father's office in culver city and if you do not know about father's office, it has the best burger in LA. there is also a beer there that costs 16 dollars called Terrible. it is 10.5% alcohol which is essentially 21 proof and it comes in a bottle that is 750ml, which is the same as the regular size of any liquor such as vodka. it tastes like chocolate milk and gets you trashed. also, get the sweet potato fries, it comes in a mini shopping cart that has wheels you can push around the top of your table. if you ask for ketchup or modifications to your burger, they say no. so don't be a douchebag.
after we finished the first bottle we realized we shouldnt have gotten the second, i do not like to waste liquor, i try to save the planet by only getting myself trashed. my roomate's girlfriend didnt drink so me and my roomate were having drunken ramblings on the way home promptly followed by a long nap on the way home.
i took a drunk shower around 9 and now i'm awake.
sometimes, i like to do things earlier, i know most people were heading out to their favorite clubs/bars/restaurants but sometimes, being drunk while the sun is going down is best.
for fourth of july i watched fireworks from my backyard, its the same fireworks show i've seen since i was a kid, just from a different perspective. i realized that it might be the last one i will see in irvine, we'll see where events will take me.
life is odd, you never know where it'll take you. my good friend who i had lunch with almost everyday the past 3 years just moved to washington DC. it kinda makes me sad because i find it really hard to make good friends, i only have about 3. but good people never seem to be in the same spot for too long, you just gotta appreciate the short time you have with them.
ok, i'll stop being sentimental.

| so i bought a new car and it has dealer plates on it still. i was sitting in traffic last friday thinking of how i could get from point a to b with least amount of traffic. then it dawned on me...TOLL ROAD. there is one in the laguna canyon area and so i thought to myself "hmm do i have 1.25 in quarters" then as i was about to open my change box a lightbulb went off in my head. "wait a minute, if i go through the fast trak lane and they take a picture of my car, there's no license!". i was debating on whether i should or not but ultimately i decided to live dangerously and i went for it. i lowered my visor, put sunglasses on and then put my hand over my face so that if they took a picture of me so i could play dumb if i ever got a ticket. it was exhilirating.

| 3:33am and im WIDE awake.
so tonight was my good friend's gf's bday dinner. we ate at this place called Melisse in santa monica, first time i had french food and i was quite impressed. did the tasting menu and it was great.
then headed over to W in westwood and i dont remember there being a line there but i guess they have line now. anyhow, had a great time, i was designated driver and so i was chilling at the bar drinking diet coke, redbull, and water and talking to random drunk people and its so different when you are sober, but in a amusing way.
LA people are probably the best looking people, but with that comes pretentiousness, attitude, and general snobbyness. there's always a cost i suppose.
so bday girl starts to get sick because, well its her bday so its a given.
i think i drank too many redbulls. maybe i'll post pictures, i really hate pictures.
i know with gas prices up its a pain in the butt to drive but there is something about driving at night on an empty freeway that helps me just relax, i used to always go on drives around by myself just because i liked the change of scenary, if i ever live in a city with mass transit then i guess i'll have to find something else to reflect on.
if couldnt tell by my posts, i'm a total introvert. introvert doesnt necesarily mean shy or antisocial, it just means that going out and being amongst crowds and such is draining. i need a certain amount of alone time everyday or i feel like my world is in chaos. its always interesting too, to observe people in social settings, when it really all comes down to it, people go out to bars/clubs to make themselves feel good. this can be done in variety of ways, either it being attention from opposite sex or seeing someone attractive and getting their number, i think it all really comes down to that: chasing a ephemeral feeling.

| "how much was it?"
unless you are good friends with a person, you shouldnt ask that, also would be "how much do you make?". i thought that was obvious?
a few months ago i bought a watch which i like and i showed it to an acquaintance and she asked me how much it was. i said "are you seriously asking me that?" and she nodded like there was nothing wrong. and basically when it comes down to it, a lot of people assign something of worth with money. the point being with the watch was that she didn't know if she liked it or not until she knew how much it was. i know some girls that don't know whether they like a guy or not until they know his financial position.
it also shows insecurity, i know this guy who i thought was a pretty good friend until i started to catch on to him always exaggerating the truth and to a point of just flat out lying. last year when i was doing contract work my hourly would fluctuate depending on which job i was working on and he'd be always asking me how much i was making, stupid.
as saying goes, "if you have to ask, you cant afford it"

ok so this article basically says if you're a fat girl, you're financial future is effected. a fat girl who graduates college is about as successful as a skinny girl who only went to high school. and for every 1% body fat goes up, your income goes down by .6%. fascinating.
to a certain extent i do feel sorry for girls because yeah, its another factor to worry about. on top of going to college, working hard, trying to not be slutty and always have backstabbing friends, add on top of that you cant become fat or else you'll become poor is just more stress it seems.
however, when life gives you lemons, dont make lemonade, fatty. i think when you read something like this, there is always a plus side that you dont see. sure it sucks to be a fat girl, but how awesome is life if you're a hot girl. you get like, free everything.
so i took a 3 hour nap today and now i cant sleep.
