I GOT MY INTERNSHIP. =)

nobody else even had a chance. just kidding. i was nervous as hell.

its a bittersweet moment, i have to leave a job i really like. =/

confession: i, catherine reyes, openly admit that i enjoy arbor mist wine. ok… so i know its real cheap stuff, but man, after a couple of bites of food a few sips of arbor mist really hits the spot.

man i’m the glutton queen this weekend. i am ridicuously full of chips & dip right now.

i still wish the fams went camping this weekend (as we always do memorial day), but its turning out to be quite eventful. we just got home from a nite of ice cream & bowling.

happy memorial day. if you didn’t know, its my favorite holiday. my rationale is quite simple. i have always believed that memorial day kicks off my summer season. i have always believed that labor day ends my summer. so with those two as my indicators i always have a great summer because i plan my days wisely.

i found this on www.notproud.com. i think jeff wrote it….

HAHAHAHA.

one day i’m just going to get a dog and learn how to take care of it. it will be a totally spontaneous thing.

i already have my heart set on a breed and color. a shiba inu with a black & tan coat.

the man has finally opened up to getting a dog, which is a breakthrough because everytime i suggest us getting a dog he tells me how he can’t. he had a very sensitive rationale as to how he doesn’t want to go through the process of loving something only to know that one day it will die. …but tonight… he was very open to the idea and we goggled a bunch of different breeds.

how exciting! i’ll probably seriously look into it after we graduate and move back to the bay. =)

…so my interview went well, i think… yeah, it went well. i’ve never had anyone look at my work so meticulously, it made me nervous as hell. i was more nervous leaving as i was coming in.

we’ll see.

a big congratulations to jeff & rob for being asked to be the School of the Arts student designers. its huge stuff. i’m really proud of both of them. after two years of being at state those two have grown at an intimidating rate.

people can complain all they want how certain students get lots of attention. its PUT UP or SHUT UP, cause the class competition is getting fierce, and the bar is being set at a very high level. those two are becoming crazy talented, but i’m not gonna complain. they deserve any recognition they get, why? cause their passion is intense, they put hours into their work, they put themselves out there, which is way more than i can say for myself.

i’m not just saying that cause one is my boyfriend and the other is our close friend. anyone with some real taste can see that those two are some intensely talented individuals.

watch out though, cause vince and i are going to come up and KICK ASS. hahaha.

btw. i have an interview tomorrow for an UNPAID design internship. its for “unique,” they do all the ad work for upcoming shows and school events, its probably the other great internship opportunity @ state other than the SOTA gigs. they only take two people. SO WISH ME LUCK. …yeah the fact that its unpaid bothers me a lot, but the man just came up on a great paying job, so uhh, if i get it, i’m gonna be groupie status for a while. HAHAHA.

i’ve come up on some luck… i will celebrate the first weekend of my birthday here: www.rockthebells.net/aug_6/. =)

i’m trying very hard to get a job that does not pay. how ironic is that? maybe my room mate will support me with his newfound salary. hahahahah.

so after trying on five thousand pairs of jeans this weekend i actually found a pair. …too bad i didn’t buy them though. I’M BROKE. i’m living for my next paycheck. ohh well whatever. if i really lived within my means i would be wearing kmart clothes, using wet n’wild makeup, eating 2for$1 tacos from jack in the box, and sitting at home all day. BUT NO, i’m not having that. life is much more than living off of a few hundred bucks a month. I’M YOUNG, i’m gonna live it up… even if that means that i have to result to using my enemy, the plastic card.

i really know how to digress. damn. sorry.

fyi. i really don’t hate men. i actually kick it with the male species twice as much as the female. i’ve always gotten along easily with boys. i’m not some crazy feminist bitch who loves to kick balls. i swear. BUT… as a large part of society/the human race i have to hate you for your messed up practices and mistreatment of women everywhere. men get negative points for that.

there’s a roadtrip in the makes for the month of august. if all goes well, the homies will send of iris’ with love and the leo girls (myself included) will celebrate our birthdays in beautiful san diego. i’m looking forward to it, because the roadtrip of summer ‘04 was one of the best ever. i’m also missing hawaii, its pathetic how i visit beaches in california but never set foot in the water. the water is too freaking cold here, and dirty, can’t forget that sometimes the water looks like iced tea.

its time for bed. peace!

damnit. i skip out on my check vans for one night to wear some girl shoes and my toes hurt from the constant friction they had to endure. its that annoying kind of hurt where you get a burn, but its just red. basically its that pre-blister feel.

OHH I HATE MEN.

…the shit women go through to look “cute.” we wear tight clothes, we wear high heels, we expose plunging necklines and thighs, we wear make-up, we straighten/curl/style our hair. we suffer…

yeah yeah, sometimes its fun. i have to admit.

but my toes hurt, they’re mad they were stuffed into some pointy shoes for which i had to walk on the balls of my feet.

ohh i hate you men.

jeff puts on some loose jeans, he picks up a wrinkled shirt, he styles his hair right out of the shower, he puts on some chucks, and he’s good to go… he looks great.

ohh no, not me… and definitely not most women either.

whyyyyy do we have to do so much, wear so little, and still get the short end of the stick?

fuck the system. women deserve so much more in this world.

i’m rambling. i’m super tired.

my summer began yesterday. so far i’ve had a great start… its gonna be a good one folks!

good weekend.

i don’t know how people dance when they’re drunk. i have absolutely no coordination while just being buzzed. for about 30 minutes i could not dance properly. thats it dude. i’m living life sober, esp. on the dancefloor. stupid alcohol.

no point in peer pressure, i’m like a rock. DESIGNATED DRIVER FOR LIFE.

lots & lots & lots of plans for the summer.

stay tuned.
