Garden State

"You know, this necklace makes me think of this totally random memory of my mother. I was a little kid, and I was crying for whatever reason, and she was cradling me, rocking me back and forth, and I can just remember the silver balls floating around. And there was, like, snot running down my nose, right?. And she offered me her sleeve - and told me to blow my nose into it. And I can remember, even as a little kid, thinking to myself: This is love...this is love."


great movie. soo many memorable quotes. if you've seen it, watch it again. tis all.

best kept secrets in san diego

Last night I went and saw a movie at 'Cinema Under the Stars' in Mission Hills. I can't believe I have been deprived from this place up until now!! Picture a movie theater but without the roof, in love. They show older movies, all the classics (Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Breakfast at Tiffany's..). Although, the one they were showing last night was Ed Wood (made about 15 years ago). Its a Tim Burton movie, black and white with Johnny Depp as the lead role. I wouldn't watch it again but I liked it, so different. The way the place is set up is they have these comfy reclining chairs all in the front. The back row is some tables and chairs, then the very back is the love seats. They even give you a soft blanket that smells like grandpa. The people there loved us for some reason. They were so persistent about trying to get us in the love seat (our final decision: the comfy reclining chairs). Once we sat down they came up and gave us free candy. I didn't hear what they said the reason for giving it to us was but my friend said it was cause we're a hot couple owww.

Afterward we walked around trying to find somewhere that served spaghetti. We ended up going to this small bar and grill and getting a sandwich. My friend just got a condo downtown, so we went there to check it out when we were finished eating. His friends puppy was there, a black lab. ahhh so cute!!! His place was super nice. I'm jealous of everyone that lives in the city. I love the city, everything about it..the atmosphere, the people, the old buildings, the diversity... I honestly could sit on the corner and people watch for hours. There are so many interesting people downtown. As well as so many things to explore. You could live in San Diego your whole life and still not know of half of the hidden secrets that downtown has to offer..one day I will live in the city. I will wake up every morning, open my door, breath in the air and smile thanking God that I am alive.

I really want to go to the new cupcake place that just opened downtown, anyone down?? Mmm, a little bite of heaven! For my wedding I just want one giant red velvet cupcake.. a huge one! Worlds biggest cupcake status. With extra (extraaa) cream cheese frosting, please. Jill told me the other day "you always have to be different Jen, always have to be different." Very true. The ordinary is too boring.

whats the word thats burning in your heart

Well I've decided to copy Peter and structure today's blog a little..

Me: For whatever reason, everything that was upsetting me over the past couple months has subsided. I've surpassed my stage of looking at life with a 'glass half empty' attitude. I started to realize that the "things" that were bothering me just weren't even worth it. I honestly can't even really pinpoint what it was that was making me so upset. I think what it mostly came down to was that things in my life were starting to change and I was trying so hard to hold on to certain parts. More and more I'm learning to embrace change. Its really hard sometimes though. I hate how change can draw you so far from someone that you were once close with. But at the same time, bring you so close to others. But that's just a part of growing up. Things don't go wrong, they simply happen. There are just some things that are beyond your control. But It's these types of situations that build your character and make you who you are. You just have to let life play out and see where it takes you.

School: I honestly love school, I'm not going to lie. At times it can be very (veryyy) stressful, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love to be challenged in life and that's exactly what this semester is doing for me. I have always been that person who just got by without any studying. I didn't excel this way, but I did average. I would pass all my classes but never really took too much out of them. It's amazing how good it feels to do good on a test that you put so many hours into studying for. Starting to realize how much I'm capable of by applying myself. Not only this, but I've been meeting some pretty awesome people in my classes. yayy for new friends!

Work: Not really much to say about work. I love my job. love love love. I actually look forward each day to going in. I'm gonna miss all those lil rascals when I leave.

Last night: September... ahh the month of birthdays! I'm not going to lie though, I enjoy any excuse for all of my friends to get together. Last night was mister Joshua Druckers birthday (actually today is, but we celebrated last night with all the close homies). It's awesome to see all the familiar faces from high school (who aren't so familiar anymore..). Jill and I got him a "5 Things you need for your 21st" gift. We included 1) flask of vodka (drinks at the bar can get expensive!) 2) A shot glass 3) 10 Dollars (to help out with the cab ride home..keep it safe!) 4) Advil 5) a bottle of water (hang over medicine). Then prior to leaving I cleaned up his whole house so he wouldn't have to wake up to a mess. Keep it safe tonight, Joshua!!!!

It's the little things in life that bring the greatest happiness

I love how little things can make your day. Last week I went in to this gas station to fill up. Being a broke college student with a rental car, I'm very hesitant about how much money I spend on gas cause I'm not sure when it's going back. So I put in $12. The guy behind the counter giggled so I explained to him how I have a rental car & why such a random number blah blah blah... Anyspray, so I go in today to get gas and hes like "still driving the rental car?" I always find it very flattering when someone random remembers me. Because it means that something I said or did impacted that person enough to store it in the back of their mind. :) Its funny how something so small can put a smile on your face.

I have so much studying to do today but I have no idea where to begin. I find each day too short for all the friends I want to see, the thoughts I want to think, the places I want to go, the books I want to read.. (I could go on). A couple extra hours in my day would be fabulous! Orrr maybe I just need to be useful with my time instead of sitting at my computer blogging ;p.

"Know the true value of time; snatch, seize and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness; no laziness; no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today."

Tis all for now, have a lovely day
