300 Ab Challenge - Day 2

I'm damn sore from yesterday so I went easy on myself today. After I did the first couple sets I was stretched out enough that the pain was doable to finish. But I still babied myself. My legs are really sore too, which surprised me at first. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. But I read another person's experience was after the 4th day, the soreness didn't effect them nearly as bad. I hope that's the same with me. I think I made the pain stronger by jogging/running yesterday. Might try again tomorrow, but will probably end up just walking.

Well I'm tired.
Night XoxoxoX

Lolita in Goleta #1

So first things first, Goleta is pronounced go-leet-uh. Now the total sounds way cooler.

Today was the first day I wore lolita here in SB/Goleta (Goleta is about 10 miles north of SB). I only went half lolie (see image below) today. The main reasons for that are 1.) It's warm out and 2.) I didn't want to freak out the house mates.

I did a lot today; went to SBCC (unsuccessful), Albersons, Von's, Costco, Home Depot, Ross (got new running tennies) and a smoke shop (for JD). The cashier at Albersons said he liked my outfit and would have given me a piece of candy if he had any but have us the store discount instead since neither of us have Albersons cards.

Side note: Stella is so fucking hyper and rambunctious right now it's driving me bonkers.

I also started the 30 Day/300 challenge to start shaping my abs. I feel a bit site and jogging for 10 minutes didn't help. But I need to get some athleticism back. I didn't appreciate how fit I was when I played basketball because I thought that was just normal for me since I played for 8 years solid. But now that I can't even run a fucking block, I feel so pathetic. Jake started rising his bike, too. It's nice we are both taking care of ourselves. I decided to make walking/jogging/running my drinking. If I feel like I really 'want' to drink, I will go on a walk/jog/run instead. Healthier for my body and relationship. :)

Played more (sober) beer pong. Won both games I played (I think). I'm starting to understand why people enjoy it do much. I have an advantage because I stay sober the whole time, but I suck so it balances out. After that we played Blur and then L4D2. I didn't really feel like it though since A was sufficiently drunk and easy mode was difficult (manages to finish the ending on my own, though). We watched Dazed and Confused. It was a good 70's movie. Lots of actors that later become famous.

My Jeffrey Campbell shoes should arrive in the next two days. I'm so excited! I've wanted them for a while and feel it was a good purchase. :)

That's all for today. I miss my YouTube channel. :( Need to vlog soon.

Also miss Jake like crazy. A played Less than Jake in the car and it stung (he didn't know).

Stella is all tuckered out now and so am I.

Night.

The Adventure: Night #3

I might eventually edit this post. I'm on my phone because we don't have Internet yet.

This is my third official night of The Adventure. Stella and I arrived here last Sunday night around 9pm. Stella barked at me a little bit and didn't eat/drink/use the litter box on the way down, but she slept and smiled so i knew she was ok. :) Her cage took up 2/3 of the cab in the truck!
That night, I stayed up for a little bit and hung out with the guys, but passed out pretty early. I was physically and emotionally exhausted.

I had to say my (temporary) good bye to Jake and it was so hard. My face was on over-drive so I was a slobbery mess. Not surprisingly, Jake kept his composure and still has. He is always the super strong one. I know he misses me, though. He calls me every day and we even talked for 35 minutes. :) I thought I would have to pry the phone calls out if him but he's been calling me and it's nice.

I met L for the first time. We (I, really) lucked out in picking him kinda blindly. He's very nice and even made us chow mien!
The guys threw a little party last night. Still learning the lingo since I am a huge stranger to all of this, but it might have been considered a 'kickback'. There were a decent amount of people, all the girls got really drunk. I was scared they were going to puke in our bathrooms. After I used our bathroom upstairs, I left the light and vent going so it appeared occupied. I DON'T want to clean up some random's vomit (yet).

I will admit I felt crazy outta place, but after a little bit of just watching them, I felt better. I was still the weird girl with tea instead of alcohol, but I'm sorta proud of that. Don't get me wrong, I've tried it and I'm not sitting there judging them all or anything. I just don't drink but enjoy crowds and loud music.
I also already know I will be a weird girl in IV. I haven't yet (too hot and lazy during the day) worn lolita or the necomimi (need batteries) but as soon as I do I know I'm starting a reputation for myself. I don't mind the idea of that, though.

They should be good for now. Kinda a lame night, but I did just play L4D2 with Al on the Xbox. It was something familiar so I felt less sad about missing Jake. I went on a walk and watched the ocean for a few earlier tonight. Thought it might help me since I was in a bit of a funk, but not really.

Good Night~

Ps: I also miss my soulmate. I didn't get to see her before I left. :(

My Life is Finally Starting to Calm Down

I just finished doing some community service and was glad I got that done. I also have only one more roommate to find! Yay!
BUT, the biggest thing is I'm moving in nine days.

NINE.

DAYS.

GAHH!!
MY LIFE IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!

I'm going to miss my boy so much.
Seriously, I spend all my free time with him now. Stella is getting mad because mama is never home. :c But she's coming with me to SB so she'll have me to herself anyway. c:

My friends agreed to have a going away party with me that didn't involve computers so I'm excited for that event. :) Jake also said he's help me move some stuff down which is super sweet of him because I can tell he is super sad I'm moving and hates the 6 hour drive. But I think we'll sneak some time in there to visit his grandma in SLO. She'd really like that. We would too; I really like (most of) his family.:D
And SLO is only about an hour and forty-five minutes away so we can make that the "go to" destination if Jake ever visits because he hates drunk kids (can you blame him? lol) and would very much dislike staying in IV. That and Sarah and him don't get along very well so sharing the room with him would put her off, too. Even though she's such a sweetheart and would never tell me that. Such a good sister. :)

My Auntie Mel also had the brilliant idea to write a book (for at least myself) on moving out and my experiences with the house mates and such. So that is what I'm going to dedicate a large portion of my blog to! I think that would be super cool to have my own book with my experiences to share with my family in the future (if Jake would hurry up and pop the question...HAHA LOVE YOU HONEY <3).

N E WAYS.
That should be all. Hopefully with the free time I will update more frequently.
But if anyone cares, I have been good about my Youtube channel. :) youtube.com/twunks

Bye for now!~

GUIEZ

TODAY WAS PRETTY SHITTY.

BUT WE HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE!

On the 14th, we get the keys to our new place! We are so excited!!
Sarah and I get a bigger room then everyone else, but it's still a really good price because the landlord is letting us have 7 people instead of 6. I'm really worried because I don't have experience the rooms are going to be too small for those in the doubles. But I think we should be just fine. Thinking about room sizes from what we have seen, it should be fine. But my visual memory of the room sizes is making me nervy. @m@

The place is huge! And we have two yards. :D I'm going to hopefully move in by the first of August! I want to get a yob and be settled. :) I even got Stella a harness for adventures.

And Sarah and I got axolotls! AKA, IRL MUDKIPS! DEY ARE SOO CUTE.
Moar on them later, though. They don't even have names yet. c:

So that is all for now. I'm pretty emotionally and physically tired from all the searching and have to go home soon (at Hames').

The reason today was so shitty was because I locked my keys into my truck here at Hames', and Jake was an ass and said he wouldn't take me home because I've locked them in "a lot." I know it happens, but just because he hasn't done it yet, doesn't mean I've done it a lot. I'm only an imperfect human and he was really mean. I'm still mad at him but was able to calm down by watching MichaleJames videos on YouTube. :)

I am SO Stressed Out

My chin is breaking out, it's so bad.
It's not Sarah's fault per say, but she piled so much on her plate that I was left in charge of getting our place secured in SB and finding roommates. Granted, it is her first full time job, but she is doing too much for herself again, the poor girl. She literally has no free time.

The reason it is so stressful for me to do all this is because my dad can be such an A-hole so Sarah's dad doesn't want to talk to him anymore because my dad just flies off the handle at everything. Only a select few of my friends can see past his horse shit facade. And on top of that, Sarah's phone is garbage and doesn't get signal at her house so it's impossible to get a hold of her because I don't have her mom's home number either! I kept asking her to text it to me, but she is so busy I can understand how it would slip her mind.

On the plus side, we both managed to meet a local guy who wanted the single room. We gave it to him because he seemed like a good match. There is a girl I am going to interview in about thirty minutes now. We had been texting for almost a week. I was really excited about meeting her (over Skype) but a couple days ago she dropped a huge bomb on me and said:

"Oh, by the way. I have a severe macaw. If I can't bring him, it's a deal breaker."
DJKLFJSLSDKLFSDLJFJKSDJKFLDSLJK
EXCUSE ME?! YOU MENTION THIS 4 DAYS LATER?!

I almost don't want to interview her anymore, but will anyway. I'm kinda worried because the more I talked to her, the more I got to understand her a little and she seems less like a fit. Though this is all difficult to tell because it's only over text. But even if she works out, she said she doesn't want to live with boys, and Alex is now in the single! And the whole bird thing, I don't imagine there will be a way to find a roommate who will want to live with her and her bird in the double. :o

I don't know what I'll get outta this, but I hope it's something. :S
