i really don't like the lady who lives downstairs...
she's complained about us being loud twice already. we just moved in lady!!! and the first time was our first nite here! ok, so we were moving around furniture...so yes, it was slightly loud...and it was also midnite, but on a friday nite! that's okay, right? and now...yes, it's 4am (also friday)...but i'm sitting at the computer chatting away...eddie's playing video games at a very normal volume...i guess it's the kitties running around. but they're just kittens. they're light. they dont make much noise. i dunno. basically, at our old apartment, we could bounce the basketball on the ground at 4am and nobody would say a thing. so it just kinda sucks now. o well. i put the kitties to bed...so hopefully she'll quit complaining for tonite.

is it okay to get too comfortable?
as much as i like being comfortable, everytime i feel myself getting that way, i notice that i'm just existing. not doing anything, not going anywhere. and while that's okay for some people, even me at times, i quickly get restless, then stuck in a rut.
i think i go through a cycle. motivated -> hard-working -> tired -> lazy -> comfortable -> restless -> discouraged -> frustrated/depressed. or something like that. i havent really analyzed it completely.
but the point is...at what point am i gonna break out of this cycle? i keep telling myself that it'll end when i have kids. kids, family...that's my true passion. or so i think it is. we'll see when it happens.
i dunno. i dont have a real point in this blog. it's just rambling. i'm in one of those stages (and have been for a while) of needing to figure things out (career-wise). everytime i think i've got it...i realize i don't. and right now, i don't again.

i dont like to go out anymore. am i getting old? possibly. i just realized (thanks to my honey for reminding me) that i'm gonna be 25 very soon! that sooo sucks!
i had this dream that i won something because i was 19, but i didn't know whether or not to tell them that even though when i started competing, i was 19, i was now 20. i woke up and told eddie the dream and he laughed and reminded me that i'm gonna be 25 soon. shiz. on top of that, i keep thinking i'm 23...never even got used to the idea of 24. how did 25 creep up so fast?!?! that's a quarter century...aye.
hmm...not in the mood to blog about my original thoughts about going out...maybe next time...

the kitties fart a lot =/
Tuesday, December 09, 2003
the kitties are taking over.
new observations. i think cats are the hardest pets to take care of as far as behavior goes. okay, kids are maybe harder, but at least you know that they understand you. whether or not they choose to listen to you is a different story. plus they're technically not pets - though my mom seems to think so since i didnt get the dog that i was promised due to the fact that i was gonna get a brother instead =/ ... (hi dave!)
anyway. so the reason i say cats are hard. i have two hyperactive kittens. i swear one of 'em has ADD. maybe i'll ask the vet if they have retilin for cats. he's such a spaz. but i try to tell them to stop batting at my hair (and in turn scratching me) or climbing up my shirt (also scratching me) or chewing on my necklace (which just tickles). i tell them firm no's. i yank 'em off me. i've even tried spraying them with water (which i have since learned to stop doing) i've checked all the websites and they all say "cats can't be disciplined". there's nothing else i can do. they look at me for about 3 seconds and turn right back to what they were doing before. and the thing is...i dunno if they'll ever listen or if they even understand what it is that they're doing that's wrong. dogs...they're smart. you can train 'em to do tricks. if they can learn what "sit" means, they can definitely learn what "no" means. other pets, hamsters, lizards, etc, they stay in a cage. even if they get out...they dont wreak havoc like kittens do. now, if you have a crocodile or something like that, that's a different story. but geezluiz, i'm a freakin' ladder for them to get to high places that they normally cant reach! i'm sticking collars with bells on 'em so that i dont get a heart attack from their pouncing habits.

i was just looking some of jon's pictures and made two observations...
1.) i miss everyone ... A LOT! =(
2.) geezluiz i was freakin' fat!
i knew that i was freakin' fat...i had gained 15 pounds in 3 weeks (thank you 2 bags of hershey kisses, countless carne asada burritos and fries, and 2 tubs of vanilla ice cream). (i was having a tough couple of weeks, didn't know i could pack it on so efficiently) anyway...not that i'm all skinny now or anything...but i'm gettin' there. when i lost all my weight the first time, i promised myself i'd never let myself get outta shape again. but apparently i did. i wonder if i can keep it off this time. it's better to just stay skinny than to balloon up and have to work hard to deflate again. aye. i've got quite a project ahead of me...
o, and i need to bitch about HK girls while we're on the subject. i swear...some say it's in their genes, eddie says they have tapeworms. so these girls are literally twigs, yet they eat a grip! they eat breakfast, then they eat lunch, then they have afternoon tea (which is basically another lunch), and dinner, while snacking on crap ALL DAY LONG! i don't really think they go to the gym either. bitches. i hate 'em. somehow i got too americanized and gain weight by looking at food! but i'm not bitter at all :P

new rule - i don't blog again until my most recent blog gets a comment :) yah, yah...i just need to feel loved...you know how it is...and since you guys didn't know about the rule before...i'll let it slide...just this once.
anyway. so kitties are doing great. they're still sick with the flu, but my friend who visited and crashed here last nite taught me how to give 'em their medicine more easily. i practiced a couple times and think i've got it down...so hopefully they'll get better soon.
can i just talk about how incredibly cute they are??? they play together, fighting, and biting, pouncing and romping around. putting each other in headlocks. tooooo cute! then they lay on each other and sleep. they even groom each other, helping to lick each other.
i never thought cats were very fun...but now i do. i strongly suggest, if anyone gets a cat...get two. it's not much more work/food, but they'll be able to play together AND they're just too cute when interacting together. especially siblings. so entertaining. i'll post a movie of them playing one of these days. haha, i'm like one of those parents who thinks everyone should think they're kid is the smartest, cutest, etc. and won't shut up, even when no one else is interested. just wait until i have real ones!!! geezluiz! dun worry, you'll be waiting a loooooong time.
