Mafia King

gah! My throat hurts. I haven't been sick in a longgg time, so I'm pretty surprised I woke up like this (although I did feel that something was creeping up when I felt that tingling sensation in the ear and throat).  Now to drown myself in cherry cough drop! yummy~

Before I forget, I had this funny dream that woke me up with a smile in my face. We were getting into a mafia place to steal something, but I don't know what it was; I just know it was something valuable. We were apparently 4 people: a cousin of mine, a girl, a guy, and me (I don't know who the guy and the girl are in real life). So we are inside a large building, and I'm with the girl distracting/talking to the head Mafia King (who was apparently in a meeting with other mafia dudes) so that my cousin and guy could get whatever we were suppose to get.

The Mafia King took a liking to this girl because apparently she kinda looked like his dead daughter (this reasoning was all in my head though cuz the mafia dude never said anything of that sort). So anything she said or asked he complied to grant her wish. She was telling this story to the Mafia King...something about the pressure of the water lol...and then this other mafia dude interrupts her and starts his own story and the Mafia King gets mad and shuts him up so she can continue. Lol! He was like: "Ey, Danny, shut your mouth and let her continue." Turns to the girl and looks kindly, "You were saying?" So what about me? I was like seen as just the friend of the girl. Don't treat her bad, but don't treat her like a God either lol. So, I'm off by the side looking through some pile of stuff. I remember finding something, and then the dream shifts and kinda fast forwards to where I am running to the elevator with the girl.

My cousin is already there, but she has betrayed us and is trying to escape. She is already inside the elevator pushing the up button (my guess is that we were underground or something). I get there and push the button from the outside stop the doors from closing. The girl gets in the elevator and kinda starts struggling with the girl and I remember thinking, "Oh shit, if my cousin wounds her the Mafia King will be pissed and will kill us!" So I go in too and start struggling with her as well. My cousin kept wanting us to get off the elevator so she kept hitting the buttons (I'm guessing the open doors one) so the elevator didn't move and just stayed in the same floor. In the mist of the struggle, I looked out the doors and I saw a library sort of place with a librarian just looking at us with a mixed expression of confusion and anger. Lol.

Then she somehow pushed us out, but we got back in. The girl grabbed my cousin from behind, and then I pushed her to the floor so that she could let go of the buttons and the elevator could leave this floor. Then the missing guy comes in (yup he was missing all this time Lol). We are fighting in the floor and I yell at him, "Close the doors!" So he comes in the elevator and stretches his hands to the outside buttons. After what seemed like an eternity, the doors start to close. I got that feeling of mixed relief where "yes we are getting out of here!" and "come on, close faster!" Then just when the doors were about to close the doors open again when they censored his arm which was 'hitting' the close button on the outside......

He turns around and we hear his stupid giggle.

We all laughed in that elevator. We hadn't noticed that this idiot had his arm stretching towards the outside hitting nothing, and the elevator doors closed by themselves after no buttons were being hit. It was a funny dream, but I woke up after this and didn't know if we were caught and killed.

Me and my weird dreams.
Kinda reminds me of that guy:

I just noticed my time zone for this blog is an hour forward, and I don't know how to fix it. Dang. lol

EDIT: ... never mind. Where's my dunce cap? hahh

nostalgic pain

We found our old Super Nintendo....I wish we hadn't! I've spent at least $60-$80 some in games and controllers. Luckily, I found some good ones at Goodwill that actually worked perfectly! Never expected to find them there though. And then the next day, I dragged my super lucky brother to it, and he found all 3 movies of Star Wars. He thought he had only found 2, but the last one was hidden in a different case for a more modern Star Wars movie which I forgot the name (they were all in VHS but he didn't care). He has like drained all the luck from us unlucky ones just for himself. Lol. He even found a Wingman Extreme joystick for like 2 bucks...so now I have to find the usb gameport for it.

I found BOOKS!! $1 medical books Hells yeah! Drooling like homer simpson for a donut! A bit outdated but still good! And I think my mom really liked that store. She keeps going back to buy skirts lol.

I also found some games in the flea market and bought two original controllers with Street Fighter II! Nostalgia!!! Now we only need my good old Zelda and Killer Instinct, which are super expensive!! Like $35 each!!! T-T

I've played, and my thumbs/nails hurt like in the old days....but I love it! (*°∀°)=3

:)

My brother lent me his gaming controller for the pc......I don't think I'm giving it back. lol.

sighhhh my old Super Nintendo works like a charm! I'm just missing my controllers and our games (they went missing) hahah. But Man! The good games are super expensive!  My brother wants Killer Instinct, but it's like 35 bucks!!

what feels right.

"My daddy likes you!"

The words of a small boy at my work. He was joking with his dad, and told me this after his dad told my manager that his son wanted to work with us and wear the aprons as well. It was funny, but I just felt embarrassed and just thought "holy shit where's the mom before she falcon punches me!"

This reminds me of a "friend" or acquaintance or rather a classmate from high school...idk what to call him anymore. I'll go with classmate. So, I found out that he actually really did like me back in high school sometime ago. I thought it was just some joke, or rather I'm just dense. He was a popular soccer player and actually really nice. He was nice to chat with and play speed (a card game) with him. I never really knew he had any interest in me until a friend of ours passed away. The next day he arrived high on cocaine to school. My friends laughed at him and his stupidity. I scolded them, and I scolded him. I had no right to decide what he did with his life or what had control over what they thought, but I wasn't in the mood of losing another friend because of something so stupid. So, I became selfish and gave them a piece of my mind without really caring what they thought. I guess he got a bit upset. He stopped talking to me. He started going out with I don't how many girls. I just remember my friends saying he was changing girls like changing his underwear. I did hear a rumor that he might have liked me, but I didn't really payed much attention. After a few years, I saw him again in a graduation ceremony of I think class of 2008 or 2009 (not sure). I got the most unexpected thing told to me. My friend and I heard him clearly shout out like halfway through the parking lot, "Next time I see you, I'm going to bring an engagement ring for you." Wtf! Fast forward to ~2 years ago, he gets a FB, appears to be married with a child, and he adds my friends except me, and after peer pressure from my friends and my weakness, I send a friend request to him even though my guts were horribly screaming 'NOoOOoOo!!' I sent the usual comment of 'Hey how've you been...etc etc.' no response for a week and then suddenly a response that made me think/feel, "man what have I done."

The point I wanted to reach was that my friend told me he had asked them to say hi to everyone from school and especially a special hi to me since he still liked me. Well with this, I stopped logging in regularly, didn't want to email him anymore (he had sent me an email about what he saw at Japan. I kinda felt bad about it after I found out about this), and just not speak to him (he himself stop speaking to me since that last email). I sometimes think this is childish, but it just feels wrong. It IS wrong. Thinking that this guy has no respect for his wife or his child just makes me angry. WTF is he thinking! Seriously idk. I kinda feel bad because I think back to that gut feeling of, 'you shouldn't contact him', and think maybe he didn't want to add me because he didn't want to bring back any old memories, and I as an idiot added him. Idk. I seriously don't know, but I'm certain I don't want to be involved in any family problems...and now that I mention it, he had an argument with his wife through fb and he temporarily shut down his account after our one and only messaging. idk if our messaging was the cause or not, but I hope not. *sigh* I shouldn't have contacted you, and I'm sorry but I really don't want to speak with you as we used to in high school. I'm sorry my old classmate, but I really hope you can be happy with your family and wish the best :).

and all of these messy thoughts were trying to overcome me during my job. Hell no! There are priorities you must follow my dear self. You may vent later.
*sigh* all because of that little boy... (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

"Ever been kissed?"

I can answer confidently.

Yes, in my dreams. Literally. super girly hahahha and sad. Lol (this was a while back though, and I just remembered about it)

Just woke up after dreaming the whole night with this same person, whom I really do miss. One after the other. They were kinda weird, but I'm happy I could at least see him in my dreams and with his new haircut. lol.T-T

I could just email him and maybe even ask him if he would like to meet up, but I always think I might be annoying him so I won't email him anymore. I really do like the person who he is and the things that make him; with all his dislikes, likes, flaws, and kind aspects & his cool family.

Alas, I'm only his friend.

........stupid hormones making me feel this. hahah secondly I think I'm spending way too much with my friends who are a couple. I'm the stupid third wheel. lol

（*´▽｀*）

*deep breath*

So the last trip I did. To sum it up:
Amtrak was excellent!! Love you Texas Eagle (wish you had Wi-Fi though); the attendant was cute (except his hair cut) and was really nice.

Chicago was breathtaking! I felt like a cockroach. The greyhound was a good ride. Our driver was nice enough to stop at a Burger King and allow us to buy food for the long ride to Minnesota :)

The University of Minnesota was beautiful and so was the mall! Lol. My brother and I couldn't get enough of this one store called  Marbles: The Brain Store. LOVED IT!! (It was actually the only store we had time to see hahah)

There was a thunderstorm/flooding watch on our last night, so we took a cab to the sleep at the airport just in case it got bad. I've heard people say that riding an airplane feels like riding a roller coaster. I don't agree (well, it's a bias answer partly because I haven't taken a roller coaster in a while) I couldn't feel a thing. My ears did hurt like someone ran a needle through my eardrum to my cochlea! Shit, worse pain ever! Forget menstrual pain; this was pain! Still, I liked our flight. Oh, it was in US Airways by the way. It was one stop at NC then to SA.

Funny thing on our way back home from SA: The whole plan had gone according to plan with minor adjustments, but it was going as planned. We were states away and it went fine, but chaos happened when my sister was on her way to pick us up getting back home. 1.) the taxi driver got confused and sent us to the wrong hotel, and when we finally got there, he charged $49, but I only had $35. He gladly accepted that amount lol. 2.) When my sis got there and we were on our way back home, her car indicated a low air pressure from her tire. She checked, and she had a flat. 3.) Long story short: she kept driving it to a mechanic, horribly fucked up her tire, and then realized that she didn't have the key to her tires; we ended up stealing Wi-Fi from starbucks to find a hotel and the nearest Nissan in SA to spend the night and get back home the following day. Fuckin shit!

So yeah it was a nice adventure, and the bad luck kind of continued the next day when I took my truck out for a drive and got the belt torn and had to go get it fixed. My drunk uncle was in the same situation but at a walmart (literally he was drunk with his van at walmart. How sad yet hilarious is that!). I was glad my car could at least still move so that I could take it to my other uncle the mechanic. We did stop to give him some food and stuff. I'm not that mean. Yeah, it was a crazy week. :D

Still I discovered I might not go to MN. The professors I met were really nice and all, but I wouldn't want to work on a project for 3-5 years, write a 30-35 page research paper, and then not have it published (not to mention the out-of-state tuition). IDK. I really REALLY need to think about this. Good thing is my application for UTHSC clinical lab is in! Yay! I'm only missing UTSA's master one.

good. Now relax, draw a bit, watch Ghibli movies, play snes, and see/give love advice (which idk why the hell she asks me when I've never had a boyfriend haha) to my 35ish year old sister in her courtship with her twins coworker.

*exhale* now do a dragon breathing technique lol.
