monday: bev visited me on my lunchbreak and yes, we finally bought our rent tickets! oooh, i heard drew lachey is in the musical this year -- not that i'm a fan of the lachey brothers, but familiarity's just comforting. on the way to civic theatre, a gross ass bug flew into our ride and crashed into bev's face! haha! that shit was hilarious! imagine, our windows down and shrieking at the top of our lungs and pedestrians glaring in our direction. that was a teeny second embarassing... but we got over it. $22 for the tickets -- bargain! from the civic theatre box office, we strolled along broadway and chose to eat at subway in the hall of justice building as usual.
after work, i stopped by nex to buy some cigs. i haven't purchased any for myself since early august... but i couldn't hold my streak any longer. as soon as i got there, the beverage store doors were closed. darn. so i had to enter through the main entrance and go around. to my dismay, no one was working at the counter in the beverage store area. could this be a sign? am i not destined to smoke? is god telling me to quit? NAH! i'll try next time.
accomplished some serious studying at the living room with bev, while melin began on her book #1, the da vinci code, for leisure reading. afterwards, met up with ron at the pita pit for dinner. ron scared the hell out of me in the parking lot. i just heard loud footsteps behind me, turned around and saw a creepy looking guy with a hood on looking down... then i freaked out! i wonder, if it were a real situation with a real bum planning to kidnap me, i would fall prey in a second. aww, i wish i were jennifer garner alias.

what in god's name...?: my history teacher at city college handed back our first quiz on early american colonization in the new world. out of three questions, i only answered one because the other two were discussed during the previous lecture i missed. question #1, comment #1, "excellent!" yay! question #2 and #3, "no credit. please see me." never in my life have i ever received a "no credit," and "please see me," from a teacher. but.. well... i understood why. my answer to both questions 2 and 3 were, "i missed tuesday's lecture. i can't answer this question." haha! it's the truth. why bullshit? anyway, after lecture ended, i spoke to him. and to my surprise, he asked me if i wanted to earn some extra credit by helping him tutor some students in class on class discussion questions. he was very impressed with my writing from the one question i only answered. "youre an A student, i knew it just by reading this," he said. astonished, i accepted the offer... i think im going to uphold tasks of a teaching assistant. cool!

spending time with my boys: louis and L both called me, still nagging me about universal studios. i constantly reminded them about my work situation and my inability to easily ask for days off now. man, they couldn't take no for an answer. they really wanted me to come along to make their trip more amusing and worth while. haha, i know they miss me! eff that, they love me! aww, my boy bffs. anyhow, to make it up to them, i forced them to take me to watch wicker park... and they did. wicker park was an okay rental movie. after amc, they brought me to tapioca express to satisfy my calamari craving. aww, thanks guys! when i got there, i was all giddy and shit. we each ordered our own spicy calamari and played a game. whoever finished all their calamari first without crying wins. of course L inhaled the damn things and louis second. bummer, i lost -- but only because i had more than they did! i swear! they had huge ass rings, while i had a million tiny ones. that's not fair! well, i'm calling a rematch. on the way to louis' from tapioca, i enjoyed dueting with L along to some usher love-making music, hahaha. we all wanted to watch hero, but marty still had it. damn mark, get it back! we ended up watching an aaron kwok flick, storm riders, as a substitute to our movie night. aaron kwok is so dreamy...for a chinese mega-superstar. haha, sorry i fell asleep, guys. the storyline lagged and you know it! i was awoken by a phone call from ivanhoe =). he called me, yay! all we talked about was how we were making each other nervous as we were stumbling over our words. he ended up helping me plan my whole weekend out since he wanted to fit himself into my hectic schedule.. awww =). for the rest of the week, im going to study... then friday, sky captain of tomorrow with him, saturday, bonfire at paradise point, and sunday, garden state with him. oooh, i can't wait!
