I actually planned to stay home all day today, but ironically I went out more than I stayed in.
     I began the day by going to Kim's house around 11:30 AM. Technically it's her last day in California so I decided to spend what time I had with her. I came over to drop some things off, then we went to the Great Mall so she can buy last minute things. We also went to Walgreen's to buy a razor, shampoo and conditioner. Then we went back to her house, and I waited with her till some of her friends came. Chris Vu called me during that time and he wanted to come over. Random Much? So yea, when I got home my sister told me to take Clover to Petsmart so I took Clover and Chris to Pet smart. I left Clover there and when I left I felt lonely without him. Tear.
     We then decided to go to the studio to visit Allan Dale but KJN Tony was there and we talked about food and stuff. He said that he's hecka jealous of me. LOL. So Chris just stayed over for about 2 hours. We did absolutely nothing. I watched Grey's and he cleaned my room for me. I felt bad because he made me feel like my room was messy and that I wasn't entertaining enough. I didn't know what to say. Awkward. When 5 PM came around, we went to school to meet with Dragon Boating people and then we went our separate ways.
     So around 7 PM I went to pick up Clover and he looked SO cute. Aww. While I was driving home, he stuck his head out the window. Haha.
     So right now, I'm planning to get a new Laptop but I don't know which one to get. Mac or Dell?

     I'm pretty disappointed in you guys. I go out of my way to take you guys out. I try and make this your best summer yet. I drive you guys everywhere, even when it was still illegal. But honestly, I never get anything back in return. You guys never ask me if I need help or be considerate of how I feel. You just expect it. Like the other day, when I visited you guys at school, I had to go somewhere but you wanted to pick up Kikay. Random? You didn't even ask you just assumed that I'd do it. Then I had to go to my dad's shop and you guys just tagged along. At first I was alright with it, no harm, but when we got there and I had to sort out paperwork, the two of you guys just sat on the computer and basically i g n o r e d me. That kinda got me mad, especially since I was having trouble pulling out the files from the file cabinets and when I had to pick up all the paper on the ground. I'm disappointed in you guys. I go out of my way to pick you up, drive you home, take you places and I never receive anything back in return. I'm not talking about gifts, but maybe a little more gratitude would be nice. I hate it when you guys tell people about my driving. I'm not a bad driver, I just drive really fast. If you guys have a problem with that, then don't get in my car. I hate it when other people go up to me and say, "So I heard that your a bad (dangerous) driver." I ask who told them that and they say you. It's not funny, it's actually hurtful. I know my car, therefore I know my limits, if I was going to put lives in danger, I wouldn't drive you guys around or I wouldn't drive. Period. I just hate it when you guys talk about stuff like that though. I don't care if your joking, you never considered what I thought. All in all, I like driving you guys around but if I'm only going to be a taxi driver for you guys, then I'm going to start charging gas money and I don't want to do that. If you guys arn't going to be more considerate then I'll stop driving you guys. People actually notice that I take you guys around too much and they are concerned.


     Anyways, enough of that stuff. My day yesterday was alright but then it turned out to be fun. I'm just gonna skip the beginning because most of it was in the paragraph above.
     After karate, Kim, Allan Dale, Brandon, Trevor, Shelby, Jose, Patrick, and I all went to BJ's in celebration of Kim's last day in California!! She's going to NY! I'm jealous but scared for her at the same time. I hope she'll be okay. If anything happens, I'll be there, first plane out. Just call me Kim. OMG I'm gonna miss her! At least I'll still be able to call. I can't believe that TWO of my best friends are going off to vacation! Well technically Kim if going for school... BUT STILL.
     Anyways, at BJ's it took them a long time to seat us and serve us too. The food was good. I got grilled chicken pasta. Super filling. So Patrick ordered these beer tasters thingy and he got a Blonde, Ale, Red Head, and a Brunette and he liked the Blonde the best. Then we had the most interesting convo with him. We were talking about Chimpanzees and for the longest time I didn't know how they looked like, but I just Google them and this is how a chimpanzee looks like:
Chimpanzees
Aww cute much? Lol. That's what I've been picturing the WHOLE time, but they kept telling me I was wrong, maybe I just described it incorrectly. LOL. But yea. Trevor's hecka funny. He says the solution to everything is to "Punch them in the face!" Haha. I'm totally stealing that now. I took pictures from BJ's but the printer doesn't work so I can't upload it. Poo. Having no camera sucks. Does it really take this long for them to send me a new one? Like seriously? I feel Incomplete without my camera! Sad. Yup. Today, I'm planning to stay home. Maybe I'll hang out with the guys or something. Iono.
     Omg! I had a dream that I told them and then one of them told their mom and their mom hates me now. And then I had another dream that I told them again but everything turned out OK. Iono, I just had to say that.

     "Jessica! Wake up and take care of the baby!" That was the first thing I heard at 8 in the morning as my mom was rushing to get my brother to summer school. My morning was filled with birthday wishes from my Facebook friends and Wilson, who came and visited me as I was still in my jammies enjoying an episode of Grey's Anatomy.
     The last thing I did as a minor was sharing a 3-way phone conversation with Kenny and Darren because Kenny and I wanted to keep Darren company as he waited to board his plane for China. They were the first ones to wish me a happy birthday.
     Anyways, as 10:25 AM came around, I jumped out of my moon chair, clicked the pause button on my DVD player, turned off the TV and got ready to head out and pick up Jen at school. I left the house at 10:30 AM. As I arrived at school, my timing was perfect as Jen and Kirsten came walking to the front parking lot.  After a few hugs and birthday wishes from Kirsten, we headed out to the Great Mall. Once we arrived, we were greeted by Kim, Patty, and Daniel. I spent the morning with them watching an action packed movie known as:

Transformers 2
It was a really good movie that kept you at the edge of your seat (well for Daniel and Jen it did). Here's the trailer:
The movie ended around 1:30 PM. We shared some laughs and conversed until Patty and Daniel went off to visit their uncle. Kim went to Borders and waited till we were finished because Jen and I went to the Great Mall to search for a Vans shoe store so I could pick up my Warped Tour ticket. We walked through the entire mall until we reached it, but once we got there, the cashier told us to head off to the info table just a few feet down and they will provide the service for me there. In my head I was just thinking Wow... But it's alright because I think we burned off all the calories from the pop corn and candy. So at the info table, it took them about another 10 minutes until I finally got my tickets.
     After I was finished, Jen, Kim and I headed over the BJ's for lunch. The service was slow but the food was delicious! I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with potato wedges. Kim ordered a baked potato stuffed with broccoli and cheese. Jen ordered some type of pasta, I forgot what it was but it looked good. We also ordered Brochette bread as an appetizer. Yum. Everything was mouthwatering, until we got full. Then it was just too much. I also got a Pizookie that looks like this (It's not my picture by the way):
Pizookie
It's ice cream on top of a freshly baked cookie. Super filling, free and delicious. Yum. After BJ's, Kim went her separate ways while Jen and I took a stroll in New Park Mall to work off all that food. I was so bloated. Then I dropped Jen off and headed to work. Once I arrived at work, more birthday greetings, I was so exhausted that I could have fallen asleep on the floor right then and there. Allan Dale just told me to rearrange the belts and buy him a new drink. Sorry Allan Dale, I complain too much. It took me forever to get it in order, I wanted it to be a certain way. People think I have OCD or whatever, but I don't, I just like SOME things to be in order in life so it makes sense. So after that, I taught the little dragon class and the adult class then I took black belt class. We had a fun day today. We split up into teams and battled it out. We had competitions, played BKJN says, and played Gladiator. Then more birthday wishes and class was over.
     I just wanted to thank everyone who wished me a "Happy Birthday" especially to everybody on Facebook (40+ people?) I had to individually comment them back. Thank you everyone for the gifts. I LOVED them.
     Today was a fun, yet tiring, day. Tomorrow holds an interesting day for me. Then... Warped Tour with Jen! I'm so excited. And I just can't hide it!

Mission Peak Panoramic
In the Middle of Nowhere
The Group
     Mission Peak. We started around 7 AM and ended at 10:41 AM. We're pretty slow. As I took my first two steps towards Mission Peak, I was thinking to myself OMG, What have I gotten myself into? It was a nice sunny, yet hot, morning. Before we reached the first bridge, I was already panting heavily. Oh gosh, I'm so out of shape. Every step I took, I was just wishing for it to be over, to be in bed, at home, sleeping. I kept wondering why I got dragged into this and If i was going to make it out alive; I'm deathly afraid of cows and falling. But the real reason lies within my friends. As I was struggling to continue on, my friends were there to help me along the way. I know that once college is over, I might not be as close to my best friends as I am now. I learned that I must cherish every moment with them because Wilson is going away to Cal Poly and Darren and Kenny are going to San Jose State. While with Kim, she still has her senior

Yeah!
year to go while I attend culinary school. I have learned to be happy with their company, no matter how perverted they can be. It just shows their unique personality. I know that these people, my best friends, will always save me. As we reached the top, the scene was amazing (as

always.) As we were hiking down, my feet started aching. Painful stuff.  This was a fun experience. I am glad that Wilson, although he slept in, planned this trip out. I have the best friends ever.
     After we finally reached the end, thank goodness, we decided to head off to Pacific Commons and have lunch. We went to Jamba Juice, Panera Bread, and Wendy's. After lunch, we went our separate ways and headed off home where I slept soundlessly for almost 4 hours.
     Anyways, today was a fun day. Too much sweat plus tanning do not go together. But all-in-all I'm glad that I hiked up Mission Peak. It's about time I went out and exercised.

     Haha, Patty is funny:
          Me: Thank you for calling West Coast Martial Arts, this is Jessica
                 how may I help you?
          Patty: Hey, It's CGN Patty from Cambrian. Did BKJN Allan Dale
                   leave for training already?
          Me: Yo Patty, Yes he did.
          Patty: Thank you M'am... Here's Danyelle
          Danyelle: Hello... Ok bye.

They're so random. Anyways, time for bed. I'm kinda hungry though so maybe I'll grab a bite to eat. Anyways. Good night! 2 More Days till I'm legal! YAY!
