Jet Blue Darn You!

Those damn Jet Blue people keep giving me lame vouchers for their delayed flights and I feel compelled to take them again! My flight was delayed YET AGAIN coming back (I was using the voucher from the last horrible experience). This is 3 out of 3 times flying with them that I was delayed. The funny thing is, on all these flights, it would have been quicker and cheaper to just drive my lazy but home.

Make them stop! I will not fall for this again. ARGH! But I love free money. I will likely fall for this again.

Duh! I Forgot!

I don't have to go to infinity and beyond to see the most beautiful place on earth! Yosemite is only a 5 hour drive away! I forget how awesome the views are until I get there.

Not to brag, but I had a much better weekend than you. Unless maybe you're Ben W. who just got his stolen car back from the Mexican border all souped up. Ben W. possibly had as good a weekend as me. But everyone else, my weekend was better.

So I went with some people who happen to be my family. Meet my family (that's my dad in the background):

Sean, my brother-in-law, is from Michigan--moved to California. Much like Ted Kaczynski (aka--The Unibomber).

My mother was also there, but she must be in the background insisting on cooking Kim Chee Ji Gae--something we tell her every time we go camping not to bring. Our conversations before camping with my mom go like this:

"Mom, dont bring anything...ANYTHING! We packed A LOT of food!!"

"I won't! I promise. I'm not bringing anything--more trouble for me!"

Alas, she brought a whole ice-chest full of food, mostly perishable and smelly which bears are sure to love. After a 20 min fight upon getting to the campsite, we realize we lost and settle down to try to eat her food as quickly as possible. Nothing hits the stop in sub-freezing temperature like ramen, kim chee ji gae, and oranges combined.

This combination of dinner opens up the real possibility of high alititude gas + cramped cabin odors later that evening. This tent was in for a real surprise. As usual, we stayed in Camp Curry. Best place to stay in Yosemite hands down.

I shall have to post what we did there later. Too much for one blog. Side note, it might look like beautiful weather, but it was below freezing. There was a snowstorm on the last day. Yikes!

To Infinity And Beyond!

I know I haven't even written my last installment of my NZ trip, but I really am getting the travelling bug again.

Does anyone want to take me anywhere?

Here are the list of places I would not mind visiting, although I would go pretty much anywhere. If you would like to go to one of those places in the near future and would not mind a fairly decent companion, please let me know. I am clean, can pay for my own way, and adventurous. I am pretty low maintenance...you don't need to do much to make me happy. I just need ice-cream once in awhile. And food. Good food.

Greece
Italy
France
Turkey...Turkey for me and a Turkey for you...Istanbul is Constantinopole...I wouldn't mind going there just so I can sing for weeks before and annoy my coworkers...
Alaska
Argentina
Hawaii
Russia
China--to meet Peter Hessler

Lot's of Girls Love Justin Timberlake

But JT ain't got nothin' on Peter Hessler. I want to marry him.

I'll leave it at that because nothing I say can do justice to his thoughtful writing style, his wit, his observations of life. There I go trying to do justice. I just can't. You can check out his books River Town and Oracle Bones which are the two I can recommend as those are the two I've read, or rather, I'm reading Oracle Bones right now and it's superb.

In Our Town one of my favorite quotes goes "Do any human beings realize life while they live it?" "No, poets and saint's, maybe. They do some". Peter Hessler seems to fit into that category. He seems to really be observing life. I'm romanticizing it, but he notices things in the mundane and makes it poignant. Okay, that might be a little more justice.

I feel like I should give an update on my life. It's been busy, but I'm not sure if it's been meaningfully busy the last few days/weeks, and thus I'm not sure I have anything to report. I kinda feel like I want to be in that REM song where everyone walks out of their car on the freeway because we're all just feeling the same thing...not that bad I guess because the song is rather suicidal and I just want everyone to walk out together on the freeway. C'mon, whose with me?! Let's go walking!

Update:

I will not be marrying Peter Hessler. He is married. How do I know that? I GOT A LETTER FROM HIM! Amazing. Simply amazing. The letter was long and thoughtful. I can't believe how thoughtful he is! Wow. Okay, it's a keepsake. Yay!

A WINK!

I got a little winky winky action during lunch today at z-pizza. I walked out, noticed this cute guy smiling at me and I smiled back and he WINKED! Whoohoo!! My first wink!

The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, the sky was blue out side...then I though, wait! Why am I so happy from the flirty gestures of a perfect stranger?! He might be a murderer for all I know! Sad to say, I realized I get a lot of my esteem from the opposite sex. That still isn't taking the happy out of my heart because hey, for that moment I was noticed, valued, and admired.

So I want to guess comments about this post--I might be totally off but...

JDSA-- "WHOOHOO! Go Jessica"
Nanette-- "(rolling eyes) you need to stop that. You whore"
Sari--"I told you to start that little lunchtime side job..."
