Dreams

I've had some interesting dreams which is nice because I usually don't remember what I dream about. So being able to remember my dreams are actually quite fun. First, I had a dream that I was a homewrecker. Hahaha. But I was a very smart and sly homewrecker... with the help of my mother?? It was definitely odd. And then another one about the frisbee team camping together. And just a few nights ago, me learning how to lay out (clearly a dream). Then this morning, I was involved in some sort of an explosion/vibration thing, and it was pretty huge. I woke up from the "explosion" to experience another less dynamic shake, to realize that it was an earthquake. After it stopped, I went back to sleep. Ahaha.

It's been an interesting summer. FYI Hp no longer transfers their customer service phone calls to India, I spoke with an American last week, the communication process was a lot easier.

Oh, and I've decided that I'm going to Comic Con for sure next year. People fly here from ALL over to go, and I LIVE HERE! Tickets are pretty cheap too! I want to see all the panels like the Office, and Chuck. And maybe they'll have some cool movie cast panel there.

And this weekend, I'm going kayaking!! How exciting!!! And maybe lounge around at the beach after/have a picnic. I'm so excited, it's going to be so much fun. I'm going to bring my disposable waterproof camera and take lots of awesome shots. First major thing that I'm doing this summer. Haha.

C: "I want to go into the water, it helps you tan faster"
T: "Oh really?"
"Yeah, when you're wet you tan faster."
"Ooooooor maybe it's because the water washes off the sunscreen.."
"...Oh.. that's true."

Five Days

I've played ultimate five days in a row, my legs are kind of hating me, but other than that it's been fun. First was PleasureTown ThrowDown, and I just picked up with a random local team that had a few girls from Safari. Lost in Semi's against LA Metro. I think I played okay during the tournament, scored a couple, and had a couple assists. But co-ed's a different game than women's for sure. And I was pretty out of shape coming into the tournament. It's always weird playing with a team you don't know. It takes a while to get used to everyone, and knowing each other's strengths, and developing that connection. Also team spirit/cheers, it always feels a bit awkward for me, maybe it's just me.

After that, I've been playing in a summer league which is pretty much like more organized and competitive pick-up. It's tough because our team only has two girls that actually show up. So on Monday, played the whole game. And we only had 9 guys or so, we were lacking in numbers pretty bad and got slaughtered. Haha. Plus on Monday, after the pull we would drop it on the first or second throw. But after our official game, we just had a fun game to three, which we ending up winning. On Tuesday, we picked up a girl, and I think we played fairly well, won by a good margin I believe. Today, at first I was the only girl, but as we lined up for the first point, some guy brought another girl. So we mainly played 5-2, and when one of us were really tired we would go 6-1. But it was a lot of fun, I think I played really well the last two days.

I feel like I need to be more assertive. Like sometimes I want to handle or pull or whatever, but I never really say anything. And this has nothing to do with being assertive, but this one girl has gotten my name wrong for the past week, and I haven't bothered to correct her, and I now respond to "Lauren." Haha. In my defense, I didn't realize that she was talking to me until the 3rd or so time she called me Lauren, but by then I thought it was too late/awkward to correct her. And now it's been a week, even more awkward. Hahahaha. I'm pathetic.

And my legs hurt, and I'm tired. But I do love ultimate. I really like ultimate when it's relaxed and chill when I just go out and have fun. This is the most fun I've had playing ultimate in a while.

Amazing Discovery!

So I was enjoying seedless grapes today, and then thought about seedless watermelons, and how we rarely see these fruits with seeds anymore. And then I realized that fruits have seeds, and vegetables do not. And that's why avocados and tomatoes are fruits. But if watermelons and grapes no longer have seeds... then aren't they vegetables?? DUM DUM DUM!

I never cease to amaze myself. Haha. I'm off to enjoy more vegetables!

I am a bum.

Pretty much sums it up. I have done anything since I've been home. I have, however, watched the whole season 1 of Chuck. And I'm in love with it. Haha. Oh, I really liked the girl--Yvonne Strahovski, she's tall, pretty, blonde, but her teeth aren't exactly perfect and that bothers me a bit. Haha. She's still hot though. And Zachary Levi is just so... dorky attractive, he's cute.

Well, back to doing nothing, and watching more TV.

Ooh, and I'm looking into a new phone. Nokia 5310? Samsung Katalyst? Blackberry Pearl? But I think for the Pearl to get email, it's like an extra 10-20 bucks a month. And it'd be pointless to get a blackberry without the internet and email..

P.S. Loved Get Smart. Steve Carrell is awesome, I love him.
