nice little "reprimandum"
hate my managers sometimes, well mostly just Mary and Terry. they're so unqualified to be in management positions. and I love how they basically say "we don't mind you socializing, just don't do it." they blame all of this on our talking which is absolute bullshit. actually they claimed that we got out late because "Ryan and [I] were talking the whole time" when in actuality Becca was just being ridiculously slow. the only thing I did wrong was that I forgot to get the menus out of the holders because I completely spaced out about them because I was already in the middle of doing something else when I asked Mary what she wanted me to do with them. and poor Ryan got a 20 minute "talking to" about his poor work performance as well. which is beyond bullshit. he got out late because he inherited Neal's leftover mess (it was Neal's first time dishwashing by himself so obviously he's gonna be behind), he did a bad job mopping the floor apparently (the mop head broke and he spent 10 minutes fixing it), and he didn't break down the boxes that were only there because the fridge went out earlier that day and we had to buy all new stuff. such absolute bullshit. end of story.

a day in the life
so I picked Ryan downtown and we went to his house for lunch and we actually had a legitimate lunch, not a "college kid" lunch (aka snacky foods or going to a fast-food place). he made tuna sandwiches, cut up an apple, and heated up some of the food that he got from work last night. and it was yummy!
I'm tired but I love my life. :)

tonight was goooood night
and then a few hours later I started having the most wonderful conversation with dear Jack via facebook chat. we talked about so much! we talked about hipsters (fake and real ones, and we cleared Nate Young as being genuine), blogs, journals, sex and our definitions of it, and just random things. I miss talking to him sometimes. he's a great guy and I love him.
I also had a nice conversation with the darling East Coast Ryan earlier this evening. I love that kid. I really do.
and I had an absolutely amusing as all hell "conversation" with Michael not too long ago. I'm leaving it at that.
a few other things:
1. I wanna go to Fat Camp haha
2. I'm in love with Glee and can't wait for the premiere next week
3. I'm going to the Island tomorrow and taking my cameras
4. Alexandrea's taking me home Friday thankfully. I've been down here far too long for my liking
5. I love life

I am in love with life.
so I went to San Fran to see Becca today for a bit. that was fun. I took BART in and somewhere between Orinda and the Rockridge stations David Rowe randomly called me. I didn't answer b/c I was about to lose service, so I texted him "You called?" when I got to SF. I met up with Becca and we went to Rubio's b/c she was hungry. then David called again and I answered this time.
me: Hello?
David: Yes, Candace, I did call.
me: Why?
David: Where are you?
me: San Francisco.
David: Thank God you're safe.
and then he hung up.
I don't even know, but it was funny as hell. he's a strange one, but he's cute.
so then Becca and I did a little shopping and I got a cute shirt from Old Navy for like $2 b/c I had some money left over on an old gift card. a little bit after that I was hungry so I went to Panda Express while Becca got a table for us. I ran into Chris Dominguez and that was weird. we had biology together my freshman year and I thought he was so cute back then, but I'm pretty sure he was high today haha.
Chris: Hey, is your name Candace?
me: Yeah.
Chris: Do you remember me?
me: Yeah, we had bio together w/ Mrs. Marsters.
Chris: Yeah! I wasn't sure if you remembered me (and he couldn't stop laughing).
then some mindless banter about Mrs. Marsters and stuff. it was so random but it was cool.
then Becca had to go back to school and I BARTed back home and my dad picked me up. the first thing he said was "You weren't there very long. What'd you do? Go get laid and come back?" sooooooooo funny! my dad is ridiculous.
I really wish it had been cloudy and cool today, but oh well. I still love my city. and I wish I had worn more comfortable shoes b/c then I would've stayed longer and taken more pictures, but as it was, my feet were KILLING me. but I love San Francisco so very very much.

good day for driving.
I drove alone for the first time ever today. it was marvelous. and I literally BLASTED AirOne the whole time. truth be told, I kind of miss going to church.
anyway, I went down to Chico, had lunch with Starshine, looked for jobs, killed my heels with my darn shoes, went downtown for a "tea date" with Ryan, went to Raley's for deodorant, and came home. I was only gone for like 4 1/2 hours, but it was a glorious 4 1/2 hours.
I seriously enjoy driving alone sooooooooooo much more than I do with people. and I think I prefer driving the truck now.
I even took long ways to get places today just because I love to drive.
and then I came home and mucked, cleaned my room, did laundry, cooked dinner.
I feel quite accomplished :]
Thursday, August 13, 2009
yay :)
me: Omg really???? :D
Courtney: Yeah. But Candace. Don't know who is talking...Which is kinda sad. But yeah. He was asking me all these questions when i mentioned you. Lol
me: Yeah, its me, candace. Omg, give me a play by play!
Courtney: Well i walked up to him to tell him that he didn't call my name on roll. And he asked me if he has had any of my siblings and i said yeah morgan. And he asked me what she was doing and i said going to school and living with you. And he was like Candace parker? And i was like yeah. And he was like asking me if you were still taking pictures and i said yeah and he asked me if you were going to school and i said you did last semester. And he asked if you took photo and i said I didn't know. And he asked what else and i said you were looking for a job. And he said that sounds great. And to tell you hi. Just wondering did you guys do it?
me: Did mr. Wallick and i do it??? Hahaha you know it :P and tell him hi for me too :)))) ill have to stop by sometime
Courtney: I figured. He practically got a boner when i said your name and he asked like 100 questions. I believe it.
me: Hahahahahahahaha thats hilarious! And wonderful!
Tuesday, July 21, 2009
I am sad.
and also, I was thinking about it today and I really don't know how this whole job thing is going to work. my mum goes back to work tomorrow which means she'll have the car. which in turn means that I won't. so I have no idea.
also, Lindsey has basically been living with us lately, and Courtney is coming over tomorrow and staying for awhile I am sure. I love them all, don't get me wrong, but I miss the days of being an only child. two years ago I would have done anything to have them here, but now I long for my days of solitude. I was accustomed to being alone and I miss it.
oh, and Alexandrea and I are officially not talking anymore. and I am 100% okay with that. it was a long time coming.
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
8am everyday. for the rest of summer. yay.
today my mother was kind and let us sleep in until 8:48. we got up, ate breakfast, watched some tv, and then started cleaning. we moved all the stuff Starshine and Mum told us to move, put the shelves back on and the camera stuff on them, and while Morg and I mucked Lindsey did the dishes. after that I took a shower and took a nap for a few hours.
I woke up to my mother asking what I was doing and I said "I was taking a nap, that's not against the rules." she then proceeded to ask us to get the groceries out of the car and put them away. oh, and then she got mad at me for bleaching the velvet shower curtain (when I did I repeatedly asked her if she was sure she wanted me to bleach both shower curtains and she kept saying yes, so it's not my fault), then we had a bit of a break. after awhile she asked us to move a table, Morgan to vacuum, and me to dust (I dusted books, what the hell) and set the table. oh, I might mention that after my nap I woke up in a rather depressed mood. after I finished with the table I asked if there was anything else she wanted me to do and I my body language kind of portrayed an air of dejectedness (is that even a word? yes, it is) and she said "You look like you're going to cry," and Morgan said "You've looked like that all day."
truth be told, I feel like I could cry at any moment. I think it's just because I'm exhausted, nothing serious.
oh, and earlier Michael texted me and said "Ur never on aim now haha." and I told him "Yeah bc im really getting sick of the internet. Im considering getting rid of facedick (facebook). But you can normally catch me on really late." then he said "Then we have to txt our long stories! Haha" and my only response to that was "Or call. What a concept."

today is Katy O'Keefe's 19th birthday!
I had some strange dreams last night. I don't even know how to explain them. I was with some friends roller skating through a gated off area and I lolly gagged a bit and when I turned around to shut the gate the police came. they came over to me and I tried to explain what I was doing (I said I was picking a penny up off the ground) when all of a sudden I was really weak and pretty much collapsed into their arms. I couldn't open my eyes and even when I could I couldn't see well at all. they carried me into a hotel. I don't remember all what happened but something about an elevator and gold chandeliers and burgandy colored carpet. and I just know I was really weak. I'm unsure of how to explain it.
in another dream I dreamed about typing on a polaroid, with an actual typewriter. it was really neat looking so today I got a few of my polaroids and the typewriter and typed on them. I wish my scanner worked so I could upload them. they're really cool.
I'm a little obsessed with The Fray's "Heaven Forbid" at the moment.
I spilled water on my computer today. it might be dead, I'm not sure yet.
I cleaned my room a bit, so that's good.

silly times
so I stayed up all night because I was too angry to sleep. somewhere around 4am Morgan and I went into the tv room and watched music videos. and I wrote some poems hahah. I was coming down but I was still drunk enough to write some decent poems inspired mostly by the music videos and occassionally some commercials.
last night we all just chilled in Chico and we ended up going over Alex's friend Ian's house and watching 28 Days Later. then we dropped Cela off and went to Denny's where our waitress played pirates with us (hence the journal title). then we came back up to my house (I was driving so incredibly slow b/c I was freaking exhausted) where we unfortunately found we were locked out. for some reason the garage door was locked and the back door too. my family's cool and we don't have house keys. so we decided to sleep in the car, but we were all freaked out by my property so we decided to go sleep in the parking lot at ACE Hardware b/c there were lots of lights. around 6 we woke up and Becca was drooling and thought we were in San Francisco because the windows were all fogged up. so we came home and waited for Starshine to wake up so we could get in the house.
we finally got in around 6:15 and crashed until 2 this afternoon haha. and tonight we're off to a hotel party in Redding. exciting? a little (;

4-6am drunk poems
with the sunrise
the shutter opens,
you smile
rolling toward the dawn
flying, soaring
invulnerable
towering, you cower
keys old & worn
stuck, invulnerable
drawn are lines, circles
all coherent in a way
you stand alone, invulnerable
(Sarah Bareilles)
smoke & mirrors
it's how you work
flickering lights, trickery
you cheat, no matter
no longer numb, I hurt
running lines blur as we pass
bokeh, circles of city light
crashing waves sound,
wake me up from this misery
sand falling, forming
rosy cheeks in black & white
billowing around you
simple straps fall
rushing, racing, caring
like you never did
(Britney Spears, energy ad, some random chick, Kings Of Leon)
falling through the sky
the atmosphere presses in
about to implode
scarves tightly wrapped warmth
in our shaking bodies
neutral walls surround
bringing life
to a certain intensity
the rain falls, hot
humidity almost suffocating
breathing, breathless
(Parachute, band in a room with lights)
dazzling, you stand alone
beautiful, flowing, freezing
a white dress stuck to your skin
looking down, looking up
to infinity & beyond
symmetrical, chaotic
spreading, infectious
love me forever
love me never
-5:31am
(Carolina Liar)
your eyes, shards of ice
melting like softened snow
scripted lines
feel better for the moment
eight feet is all I have
-6:00am
(Rob Thomas, The Script, some band in a parking garage)

SF on a whim :)
we went back to Pleasant Hill to wait for Alexandrea to wake up. went to McDonald's and then Starbucks. it was around 8 when Ryan and I decided we were going to go stalk Mandy. so we drove to her school and decided to write her notes on lint roller paper and stick them to her window :D
after that I decided we should to go to Pittsburg and see my dad. he wasn't home but I got the spare key and went in and took a shower while Morg and Ryan slept on the couches. then my dad came home and made us hashbrowns and eggs for breakfast :D he gave me some money (thank the lawd!) and some strawberries and cherries. then we left for Alexandrea's where we waited for about an hour for Alexandrea and Jim to come back from Costco.
random stupid funny stuff:
- Quicklier
- FUCK THE C.H.P.!
- Morgan is from the Ukraine
- Potted (the act of "getting potted" aka getting high)
- Drunk off of highness
- Ryan spilling soda ALL OVER Morgan's pants so it looked like she peed herself
- WEPRAYZ

I officially enjoy Monopoly
Morgan, Wes, and I played British Monopoly with Pall Mall and Fleet Street and King's Cross Station. it was cool. we're pretty sure the dice were loaded though. we all rolled doubles and 7s and it was just RIDICULOUS. then Wes had to leave like 30ish minutes into it but Morgan and I kept playing.
+ I landed on Free Parking SIX TIMES
+ Morgan landed on it a few times and got $1,165 one of those times
+ I owned ALL the property except the orange spaces for awhile
+ Morgan and Wes went to jail soooooo many freaking times
+ Wes kept getting boned on all the Chance/Community Chest cards
+ I had to pay for repairs on all the my stuff ($40 for each house and $115 for each hotel) and that added up to $910
+ played for like 3 hours

I just don't understand
I don't know why I still think about him, why I still wonder about things.
it's stupid!
I just hate that it's the closest thing I've had. it depresses me to be honest. all I want to know is why. I ask everyday and still don't know the answer. I don't know if I ever will.
on other topics, I'm very very VERY mad at Michael. seriously. if I could I would kick him hard enough to make him cry. he is so incredibly shallow. just like every other fucking guy out there. he claims to be a "sweetheart". my ass he is. he's gonna be the typical socal lawyer, have 5 different wives, and really snobby kids. all wives will be thin as rails with big fake boobies. he's so shallow. so shallow. I think that is the quality I hate the most in people.
so I don't know if I'm going to talk to him now. unless he apologizes, I'm done. he needs to grow up and realize that looks aren't everything. fuck him.
one last thing, Parker Young is perfect. end of story.

never realized how mascara BURNS
so I think it was yesterday that Heather, Becca, and I were in the cafeteria at Butte and I was texting East Coast Ryan. we will text random anberlin lyrics and stuff and it's cool.
he texted me some "Inevitable" lyrics and I finished the line and told him that I really wanted someone to sing that song to me one day.
so today after dinner I was doing the dishes and then I came into my room and saw that he had sent me an IM.
rryy rryy (7:18:35 PM): guess what
rryy rryy (7:18:43 PM): i have something for you
he had signed off by the time I read it and I was like dangg. then I checked my phone to see if I had any texts and I did.
East Coast Ryan: ive got a present for u
I asked what it was and he said it's "a video its crap quality but i decided to make one just for u!"
he got on a little bit after that and sent me the video.
I opened it and pressed play. and guess what I hear? the beginning notes of "Inevitable" and I immediately just lit up. so he sang me the freaking song. amazing right?? so cute!!!! but then Olivia called like a third of the way through it so I paused it. after our 31 minute conversation about Labrador Lovin' in burning houses, I played the rest of it. and at the end when he was talking he had this really high pitched voice and it was just great. he also showed me random anberlin stuff and it was so amazing. it really really was.
so basically, that's pretty much the nicest, sweetest, most incredible thing anybody's ever done for me. and it made me cry tears of joy (I'm actually still crying hahaa) and it made my mascara run and oh boy does it BURN. seriously, the sweetest thing ever. oh how I adore this kid :)
oh, and yesterday he also texted me this: "haha i was thinkin about u today and i just wanted to tell u.... F this place sick :)"
(it's an Orphaned Anythings reference)
he is just amazing. can't help but love the kid for sure
my worst nightmare.
Gray and dark blue. The skies over the Pittsburg house were inky and overcast. It was dusk. I walked in through the front door. I was wearing a gray-blue dress. Family, friends, and former classmates were in the living room. Alex was there and the reason for why I was quite unaware. I was then informed that he and Alexandrea were in love and everybody was just 'so happy' for them. I was baffled; there was nothing I could say. Terri said that she hoped that Alexandrea would come back because she knew Alexandrea could "save Alex." From what he needed saving I did not know. The fact that I had been/still was in love with him didn’t matter to any of them. Not even to my own mother. It was like rubbing salt and pouring lemon juice over an open wound that had also recently been burned. I expressed my hurt and my anger and told everybody that this always happened; Alexandrea always took the ones I loved away from me and that I would always and forever be second best. But nobody would listen; I was “being irrational” they said. The support for the Alex/Alexandrea relationship was too much to handle. I ran out of the house bawling my eyes out in frustration and sadness.
It started to rain. As I was running around the front of my grandparents' house, it seemed as if time had slowed. My dress was softly fluttering around me in the wind from the storm. Suddenly I realized how dark it was and how frightened I was by the darkness. I decided to go back to my house and run upstairs to my parents' bedroom where I could go to bed crying. When I entered their room I heard something moving around on the far side of the room so I carefully and nervously turned on the bathroom light. I turned around to face the rest of the room and saw Joe Borrayo peeing on Starshine’s pillow and I was at a loss for words. I recalled that earlier Joe had said something about pulling pranks all day, so this had to be one of those "pranks". He had two friends there with him that I didn't recognize. I walked over to him as I explained why I was so upset and said that all I wanted to do was sleep, so I asked if he would please leave. I sat down at the foot of the bed when he handed me a cup of water and told me to drink it. I did. I told him that I desperately wanted to get away from there, away from the pain Alexandrea continued to cause me. He said that I could go back to his house for the night. I tried to get up from the bed to go with him, but I couldn't. I slowly started to realize he had drugged my drink and my only question was "Why?" The words of his response were foggy from the haze my drink had created, but he said something about carrying me and a photoshoot. I was glassy-eyed and almost unconscious when Melissa came into the room with a camera. I was bewildered, but I trusted Melissa and I trusted Joe so I didn’t ask any more questions. The darkness overwhelmed me.
