random ramblings

24th March, 2002. 10:39 pm. Just the beginning...

I just got back from some resort in Palm Springs. It's a nice kick off for my spring break. We swam today for an hour and a half or so, and I got sooo freakin tan! I didn't put on sunblock cuz I was... stupid. Actually, I just forgot how easily I tan. I failed to realize that for the past couple years, I've been very anal about sunblock cuz I know how easily tan I get. I figured I'd be okay not putting any on today. Oh well... I just have tan lines now. *sob* I've been so anal not to get tan lines for all these years, and then in less than two hours... I'm marked! ah! Oh well... worse part is that I don't want to wear the same swim suit to Vegas. I guess it's time to go tan naked! hee hee...

We joke about how the highlight of our trip was when we got to go to the gas station and get candy. The resort gave us three $25 vouchers. Their good at several places, including a gas station, but you can't get change. My mom wanted to leave early, instead of waiting for my aunt, so she could go shopping at Cabazon. We left with two cars, each taking a voucher. Between both cars, we ended up only getting $15 of gas, so we had $35 to spend on junk food at the gas station. It wasn't a mini-mart. There was just stuff behind the attendent and we have to tell her what we want, and she passes it under the glass. Imagine this... bunch of people waiting to get gas. 5 kids (including Jonathan and I) standing in front of the window... way giddy... "a coke, oreo's, king size kit kat... um... king size twix... hm... how much do we have left?" And impatient people waiting wondering what the heck are these kids doing? I ended up with sooooo much junk food! yay! It was like a kid's fantasy! We could get anything we wanted... we ran out of things to get! We started to just get random things just to use up the whole amount. That was fun.

At the outlet, I got a pair of boots for $12 at Esprit! They're changing ownership and everything is an extra 30% off, but my boots were an extra 60% off... and they had my size! They're more casual... that's how I justified buying a third pair of knee high boots...aka f*@! me boots. I got my first pair, but they're too high (at least 3" heel), so I can't walk long distances. Then I got a second pair, but I was looking for something classy... so I can't wear my jeans with them, unless I get something tighter on the ankle, but it makes me look round. So these are chunckier and casual, which goes with my jeans. Did I mention it's not my style and I hardly ever wear my boots... but I somehow still managed to buy a third pair knowing that. Actually, it was prolly mostly Jonathan reminder "twelve bucks..." So I figure, what the heck.

Another funny incidence was reguarding my uncle and aunt. They're totally the over-bearing type of parents. They learned that their 18 yr old son, first year at ucsc, drinks... which I didn't learn till today. I saw Heiniken (spelling?... the beer) in the kitchen. I joked with my uncle that he bought it for his son. He replies with, "yeah... it's better than vodka". I thought it was random, but didn't think much of it. I just took it as if he was joking. Then my cousin tells me that he's drank today when we went swimming. After swimming, we had lunch. My aunt made prime rib. My uncle got some wine glasses and some normal glasses. He pours out red wine (merlot?) into the wine glasses, and starts filling the glasses with beer. Then he makes an announcement, "here, get your drinks. get whatever you think you can handle". I laughed because we only had two choices... beer or wine. I tried the red wine... didn't like it much. I'll stick with my hard liquor.

Now I just look forward to the Vegas trip!

Current mood: rejuvenated.
