California Girls: We're Unforgettable.

So, Sara mentioned the blog to me just now, and it made me so happy, I've decided to post an update. Things have been great this summer, albeit long. I was able to have two of the greatest SPEDS sleep over my house this month, but more of that later. I got home from Hawai'i and I don't know about anyone else, but it felt too soon. I was on the ride home from the airport before I came to terms that I was actually in California. I wouldn't go so far as to say it felt like a dream, but moreso as if someone were playing a cruel joke on me. But then I realized. I wasn't going to Hawai'i for another 3+ months. Fuu-.

Heechul is so 귀여워 ~!

Well, immediately my sister started showing me what she'd been doing with her life. Which was simple: Totally obsess over Korean/Japanese/But-mostly-Korean pop stars and therefore watch endless amounts of music videos and dramas. That wasn't going to fly with me. Asians? Really? I mean, I always have had a soft spot for anime and that sort of thing, but there was no way I was getting into Koreans. I liked Japanese. [Reference to Lane -HERE- for no reason... ¬_¬] But I was force fed the music. And I have to say, I am now in LOVE with Korean guys. I'll have to convert all of you non-believers when we get back to Hawai'i. Although for some reason, I feel Kelsey will never convert. I don't know why. Haha. So I've been learning the dance routines, going to K-Pop concerts, and drooling over sitcoms. Call me crazy, but I can't wait to join Korean club when I get back on campus. In case you're all wondering, my favorite boy in SuJu (Super Junior, a Korean boy group) is the blondie toward the right. His name is Heechul, and is MINE. o___o;

Top of a Mountain and there's Graffiti.
Mhm, we in Cali. <3

Hanging out with friends from Cali has been really great. (That's my friend Nic and I hiking to the top of rock pile aka. mountain. He's always seen my as his little sister. He's a friend of my brother's.)  I mean, at least I have friends in the same state. Thank goodness my Mom didn't do something crazy like move while I was still at school so I didn't have any friends except a couple that I met in Hawai'i... that would be horrible. But anyway, I've gone hiking, played Risk, ate crepes, ventured City Walk, and other miscellaneous things. The horrible thing about my memory is that I can't remember details, but I know my summer wasn't as boring as it could have been. I usually had two or three things to do every week, and I'd love to report them all but sadly I'm too stubborn to keep a journal. Ah well. It's a hopeless cause. I won't remember my life, but at least I'll have a distant smile on my psychotic face when the nurses try and move me from a bench to my room in a Home for the Elderly. But of course, no one can compare to the latest and greatest Hawai'i edition to my buddy list.

"She was as creepy and as hilarious as ever..."
POINT PROVEN

So, if you're still reading this novel, you'll be happy to know that I was lucky enough to hang out with a chunk of our gang this summer. The first to flit my way was Arielle. She was kind enough to drive 2+ hours to see me and sleep over. She's done it more than once. What better way to repay her than to mention her in this awesome post? (Besides you know, actually repaying her, but you all know I wouldn't do that...) She was as creepy and as hilarious as ever. She was happy to meet and attempt to steal my friend Sasha as we enjoyed a dinner conversation with her over In&Out. For those outside California boundaries, it's a delicious fast food place that you'll most likely never have the pleasure of eating. >:)

GamBam likes nay LOVES that I
have this picture.

Meanwhile, GamBam —some of you know her as Lane— and I have been skyping profusely. I don't even think Sara and John skype as much as we do. Actually I know that for a fact because I have them both on my Skype contact list and they're not on as much as we are. I've come to know her sister Alpha  Alta very well, and we've actually bonded over mutual interest [See Spongebob Squarepants for more details.]

She finally was able to fly over to spend a couple of days with her wife, and then a couple of days with the Main Event (M.E. for short) She seemed to like my cat more than I did, as well as my mom. Needless to say, her and Kathy (my mom) have become Facebook friends. Hopefully she'll be able to fly over again before the summer is finished. Not sure if I should post that last because I actually haven't talked to her about it. Eheh. But anyway, she was able to go to City Walk with me, even if the bus ride was longer than our explorations. That's okay, at least we listened to music on our way there and back. xD

Oh and by the way, Arielle and I have been working on our shuffling (For those of you who know what I'm actually talking about, you'll be happy to see how much we've improved from our former days. TT^TT I'm glad that those days are over.)

I feel bad because I had no idea how much space I was taking up. SORRY ARIELLE! If I'd known, I think I would have moved over. Which I did sometimes... but then I went right back over to you. Sorry...sorry...sorry...

By the way, no harassing me about the multi-colored socks. You use what you got, and what I got is a sock monster in my room that likes to leave my socks partnerless. Plus, I think it gives the shuffling more of an added effect. My feet are moving so fast, I made it easier for you to keep up by distinguishing between them... Okay, lame excuse but whatever. Why are you still reading this?

The most recent news is as follows:

+ My sister is going on her mission to Kobe, Japan.
+ Sara Bezdjian visited Cali so BrandO and I spent the day with her / her aunt.

But first. It's pretty big news that my sister is leaving. We had her farewell, which was great. Of course, I was forced to dance and therefore forced to sweat like a pig in front of all our closest friends and church goers. Pretty sight. I made her a farewell video which I might post on YouTube for fun; I can tell you're all very interested so stay tuned. I'm excited for her, so much so that I've been writing missionary letters to all of our departed friends. Not uh... dead, just the ones that are closer to God now... I mean... uh, sacrilegious card? I'm rambling, don't be offended or concerned. Just move on.

So anyway. Sara Bezdjian visited California. And yet it wasn't until the day of her departing flight that we finally managed to meet up. We met up at the Americana which is RIGHT NEXT TO the Glendale Galleria. That doesn't make sense to anyone but Sara, so hopefully she'll have a laugh. (Or should I say inside chuckle because really, who laughs at the computer anymore?) I had my friend Nic, pictured above, drive me even though he was on crutches and therefore had to drive with his left foot. Yes, I'm a risk taker. But we managed to get there safely. I met up with Brandon first as he was my ride home, and then we walked around a bit waiting for Sara. We scared the crap outta her for fun, and then preceded to "catch up". We had the largest cookie and burgers we've ever had, and surprisingly, Brandon took home the first place prize of eating the most. Go figure. Life is so unpredictable.

Well, that pretty much sums me up so far. I might have left a few things out, but I doubt it'll matter. I mean, the chances of 208 babies actually checking this site anymore compared to the chances of them reading this entire entry compared to the chances of them actually being interested in my summer and therefore begging for more details... well, you get the idea. I suppose this is for my own amusement so that my brain doesn't suddenly stop functioning for lack of use. I feel like I had much more to say, but what I'd love more than to hear myself talk (har har.) is to hear how all of your summers have been! I haven't talked to many of you in too long of a while, so please, UPDATE. UPDATE. UPDATE!

I miss you all, and I can't wait to see you all in September. I realized how much I missed Hawai'i when I started consistently Google Map-ing campus just to imagine being there. But I think Gams says it best when she wrote on Facebook via IM: 

Yes. I'm a creep. But you all love me. ;)
