So my parents left for Africa yesterday. The first couple hours were hell because I had to drive the car back to my house and I stupidly decided to take PCH because the 405 was jammed, but PCH was even worse! It took me 2 hours!!! Last night was really nice/weird. Nice because I could be messy and loud, and weird because it felt so much earlier than it was but I still had to go to sleep at 12:30 so I could wake up at 7:30 for work. Overall I think it'll be a really great 2 and a half weeks, but I kinda wish it was a little bit longer...
Following Laura's lead, I'm going to make a list of things I want to do while my parents are gone.
1. Clean my room and get rid of all the stuff I never use.
2. Learn to cook actual meals so I don't starve.
3. Keep up on all my chores so my Mom doesn't kill me when all her plants die.
4. Throw a really fun party for my friends!!
5. Dance around in my underwear to really loud music.
6. Get tan! Hopefully by going to the beach, but laying out in my backyard is also acceptable.
7. Hang out with people at UCLA.
8. Catch up with all my friends that I haven't talked to all summer.
9. Go to Santa Barbara, because I've only been like twice and don't even remember it.
10. Go shopping and buy super cute clothes that I will actually wear.
I can't really think of anything else right now. I've already accomplished a few important tasks for the summer, like getting my hair cut and buying really cute high heels!!!

3 day weekend
This weekend was loooong, and not really in a good way. This weekend included 3 movies with friends (5 by myself), 2 meals with friends (4 by myself), 2 fights with friends, 1 friend not speaking to me, 4 crying sessions, and more.
Maybe it's because there are less than three weeks of school left, but people are getting weird. I feel like none of my friends like me and I don't like any of them. Why does this always happen?? I really don't know how to go about fixing any of this drama either. Most people say I should give it time and give them some space, but there's not that much time left! I don't want to start Summer with friends that are mad at me!
And why is it always my fault? Am I that horrible and annoying? Would everyone like it more if I was never around? How do I keep losing friends when I'm the one who normally puts in the most effort??
Ok, I know this post is kind of whiney and depressing and I'm sorry about that, but this is what is on my mind right now.
Anyway, I'm gonna try to fix this. Hopefully everything will be back to normal by next weekend! Wish me luck!

I haven't died (I think)
So obviously I never update this thing, but I swear I'm still alive (although I'm not sure if anyone actually reads this so it probably doesn't matter...)
Anyway, I'm just at work right now, but it's Friday and I'm going home today and I'm skipping my two classes and I'm going out to lunch for Monica's 21st birthday, so I'm pretty happy.
Yesterday I started packing up some of the crap I have accumulated this year since I'm moving out of the dorms in a month (so excited!). It turned into those "I'm cleaning my room but somehow it just keeps getting messier and messier" moments. There are seriously like four boxes and a suitcase on the floor, which is not very big to begin with, and my desk is still a huge mess. I'm not sure how happy my mom is going to be either when she has to help me carry all this crap to the car, but at least it'll save us all some time and energy when I have to move out in June. I feel like I should be sad that this is my last month in a college dorm EVER, but I'm really not. Last year I was kind of sad because all of my friends were moving out of the dorms while I was staying for another year, but now there is nothing holding me to the dorms. I really don't talk to anyone there now, except Amy of course, but I'll see her next year anyway.
Speaking of next year, I am so super excited to live in an apartment! And I'm excited for the most random and stupid things, like having water in my room (or the kitchen), getting to watch tv while I brush my teeth, having actual food to eat and snack on, not having to wear shoes to go to the bathroom and take a shower.
Well I'm off work in about 2 minutes, so I guess this is it for now. I'll try not to wait a year between posts anymore! haha!

Are you drunk!?
So in the last week or so I have become the recipient of multiple inside jokes among Monica (my roommate)'s group of friends.
Last week at a party I'd had half of drink and everyone was already asking me if I was drunk. I say something slightly stupid and it's, "Ellen, are you drunk?" Now people say, "Are you drunk?" to me right as they walk into a room where there is clearly no drinking going on.
There is also a new one that began just today. I had an argument with one of the members of the group (who I happened to already dislike) and I told him he was stupid, which he was and everyone agrees, and now I've become known as the girl who argues anything with anyone. Someone will state their opinion and I'll state my opposite one and a second later, "Stop arguing, Ellen."
There are some smaller ones too, such as "...and it was a BIG mess" and "tap dancing slut" that would take way too long to explain.
While these might get annoying eventually, as of now they are pretty much just hilarious. The "stop arguing" one was a little offensive at first, but I'm getting used to it.
Overall, I think I like being part of these inside jokes, and I just wish I could think of some comebacks.
Now comments bitches, and "DON'T ARGUE!"
