So this is the new home of my blog. For a good laugh, read my old entries!

Some interesting finds:

Check out Cheers and Jeers: Thursday at Daily Kos for a Liberal Manifesto!

Also, a new cartoon at Mark Fiore's site called Doreen the Downer
I highly doubt the Chino slaughterhouse is an isolated incident.

From CNN Money:

"Power generation takes water. Pumping water takes power. As the nation struggles to meet electricity demand - expected to surge 50% in the next 30 years - big sections of the country are suffering from drought conditions.

"We're going to have both water and power shortages, maybe in areas where we aren't used to them," said Peter Gleick, President of the Pacific Institute, an environmental research organization. "Atlanta in the last few years is a good example of that."

Most people don't realize how closely power and water are linked.

In California, the water pumps that keep the Los Angeles area hydrated are the single largest users of power in the state, according to Gleick. Running a hot water faucet there for five minutes uses as much energy as keeping a 60-watt light bulb on for 14 hours, he said."

I often struggle with why information like this is not reported in such detail, it starts to remind me of the local news when it rains in Southern California. How is it that we know more about Britney Spears then of where our energy, food and products come from and the cost we are really paying for them? How do we change this? I get tired just thinking about it, for my idealist views are never really going to be mainstream.

Ok, today is the day I really start trying to work on this blog. Myspace, although rather addictive, is getting old, at least for my purposes. So, to commemorate the holiday ( one I thoroughly disagree with) here is a cute YouTube clip

Holy Shit. Its been three years since Ive posted and my life is completely different. If only it was still as complicated as it was back then. Id be in heaven! Anyways, going to try and get some use out of this thing. Be prepared for more interesting posts (at least to me). Reading the old post do make me smile though

Haha. I swore that I would be loyal to this thing and well its been about 5 months since my last entry, which was pretty simple. However simple it may be, I still LOVE Logan. I never thought that he was possble, he is just too good to be true. Hmm, Im lucky. Anyways, its winter quarter, the WORST quarter ever, at least it has been every year ive been at UCSC. Its rainy, its cold, dark and the class pool is rediculous. I like one of my classes. Pretty pathetic. And I thought I was gonna hate it. Sociology of Women just wasnt what I was interested, but as of yet, it has been more applicable then physics or eukaryotic molecular biology will ever be. Yes those are my other classes. I lothe physics, and euk. is just super boring. Speaking of boring, Ive been studying for 4 days straight. I hate midterms, they ruin my vegetable state rotiune. Im still living in the dorms ( freshmen are soooo dumb) but my bunny lives off campus, so i make it a point to be there often. Eatable food, a bed and a wonderful man waiting for me, who could resist. I have been contemplating graduation quite a lot lately( can you freakin believe its been four years already?) Althought I have one more quarter after graduation, i feel more confused then when I got here. One of my professors said that if i feel this way then I have learned something. Hmm. Anyways, i hate not being able to do all I want to do. Why cant there be a graduate program called PhD in forensic photography, business women, teacher and MD all in one. Geez. I dont think thats too much to ask for. I have to stop procrastinating, eukaryotic notes are calling to me. Well i hope everyone else has better luck then i do with the whole future thing. MMMMMUUUUHHHHH

Inspirational Song of the Hour: Rabbit in your headlights (haha)

I love Logan

hola : ) I thought that i would update this thing since i have some time, something that will be coveted in the coming weeks because finals are quickly approching. Dammit. Not much is new, work has eaten away at my sole and I am a slave to cholera. I dont know if i could work in a lab all summer, its just doesnt sound like fun, and i want to enter my senior year a sane person. School is dragging, but i enjoy my classes somewhat. Its just so nice outside that id much rather be laying out in the sun working on my tan ( im embarressed to go home looking so white) Oh well. Speaking of home, within a week, I will no longer be able to call San Diego home. On the 30th my parents are packing up and moving to Yucipa. Yes, far away from all that i know and love. I will never see the inside of my house again ( tear ) So when I do come in, i will be flying into the Ontairo airport, unable to see where we land because of the smog. Dont get me wrong, I love the new house, its huge and its near Big Bear and yeah, its my moms dream come true, but there really is no place like your hometown,which according to me, will always be San Diego. I will be heading into SoCal with my bf on the 14th of June and plan on going to Xfest, so any of you homefolk who are going, hit me up. Then im leaving ( in my car!!) on the 22. A short trip but hopefully one jam packed with fun. Plus i get to show off SD to Logan, which im very excited about. I just went up to his hometown of McKinleyville (Humboldt county) this last weekend, for his sisters graduation from Humboldt State. My baby is a small town boy, but me being a city girl didnt get in the way of realizing that he lived in paradise. The ocean, lush vegetation and that cute small town feel equalled a wonderful getaway, and he has lived there all his life, makes you kinda wonder why your in the suburbs. But anyways, I want everyone to clear the week of the 14th to the 22nd, cause im rolling into town and I know you have all been waiting for this moment for a very long time. I cant wait. Kisses for everyone. See ya soon

"...do you think of me, like I dream of you..."

Well Hello everyone. I decided to start off my blog in a sophisticated manner seeing as how I am now 21 yrs old. Yes, the moment I have been waiting for since the first time i was banned from seeing a concert because of my age, has finally come....and gone. My birthday was wonderful....and it wasnt just the weather that made it that way. My wonderful Logan started it off by taking me to Safeway to buy my first alcohol at midnight...and didnt make fun of the wine coolers that I chose. Of course, they didnt even card me at the register, but whatever. Then my late night birthday snack was Jack n the Box...yummm. So after I had that and my buzz ( and my achy arms) wore off, I went to sleep. I woke up to the phone ringing...getting birthday wishes from Jen and my parents...and of course a live performance from Logan. I went to work..unwillingly...and ran my gel...and even my experiment knew it was my birthday and gave me a present...the damn thing worked!! So I came back to find Logan cleaning my room ( again...I have been nicknamed Hurrican Selena) and we went to Zannoto's for my all time favorite sandwhich. Yumm, pepper jack. I had a nice visit with my buddy Jackie, who printed me our a really cool picture of Wonder Women and we got to catch up. I then recived a call from Trung and then from Skip and my buddy Francine. I then began to beautify myself and slipped into the dress that my baby bought me for my birthday. I was then wisked off to Chilli's to meet up with some of my bestest friends and I had a blast. I started off with a pina colada and then had a oatmeal cookie, a shot that smelled like one but definately didnt taste like one....thanks Mike. Off to Jackie and Salenas place for cake and presents and more pictures. I then went home and finished off a wonderful day cuddling with my bf. Now I know all of you are probably bored, but I had to let all of you who werent around know, so that it was almost like you were there...which i really wish you were. Now, a warning to all.....stay away from Long Island Ice teas made at the Cheesecake Factory. A post birthday lunch may have had my boyfriend laughing at my drunken impression of a liver, but it left me feeling like I got hit by a truck. Yuck. And for the person who commented on my choice of birthday alcohol....I have it on good authority that it is better to have to buy wine coolers because I dont have to be drunk to enjoy the person that Im with...and that I am a lady not a slut..Haha ( Im sure you know who you are...and who told me this) Well I love all of you, wish you were here to celebrate, but you are always here in spirit. Thank you everyone who made that day as great at is was. I love all of you.

"...skyrockets in flight...afternoon delight.."

...my baby, my baby, and I would do anything for her.." : )
