061. everything is a-ok.

i'm fine, i'm fine, these words are all i have to hide behind
lonely is as lonely does.

but good friends + white-themed picnic party in a pretty park on north side + girls night out: dinner, dessert, movie = a sane and relatively happily content denise.
so that is good.

060. will calls grace.

i just got off the phone with paul, who is still in england!
awwwwwww. that was delightful. i feel like i have so much to talk about with him, srsly.
that was great. i've missed talking to paul. :(

059. honesty.

honesty is the best policy.

058. hairspray, et al.

i watched hairspray @ long beach town center yesterday with my cousin, josephine. it was excellent! we loved the movie, the music, the acting, everything! :D *swoon* zac efron. and amanda bynes is always entertaining. after that, we had dinner with my parents at a new japanese buffet restaurant near my house. it was deliciousss! we were so stuffed. following dinner, we dropped josephine back off at UCI, then i got dropped off back at long beach town center (haha) to meet up with jason. aww, i hadn't hung out with him since senior year of high school! it was definitely nice seeing him. we walked over to chick-fil-a to say hi to dorothy and her friends, who were there for the harry potter book release. haha. after that, we had the random idea of going to UCI to visit josephine, so we did! denise's total trips to UCI on friday: 3 (picked her up, took her back, then went back with jason later). denise's total trips to LBTC on friday: 2 (for hairspray, then jason). anywayyy. i ended up talking to her neighbor again, and that was odd. i think he was drunk. he came up to her window and said to me, "hey! remember me? i serenaded you on the guitar that one day." HAHAHA. then i told him how i had learned to play "wonderwall" on the guitar too. and then he invited us over to play some guitar, but uhhh. no thanks. i wanted ice cream badly, so jason, josephine, and i went to albertson's and bought delicious ben & jerry's! on our way out of her apartment, though, funny neighbor guitar guy was alerted of our presence by his friends, and he came out in his chonies (underwear) and started doing some thrust-dancing. o_O errrr... that was... interesting. anyway, we ate our ice cream and then i had to go cuz it was already 1 in the morning, so jason dropped me off at home. :)

it was a delightful day.

today i studied for my midterm (monday), did some hw for that class, went to my grandma's house with my mom, and... yes... here i am.

back to berkeley w/ aimmee tomorrow. hm.

057. broken english.

i watched broken english tonight w/ gen and aimmee:

it was quite excellent. i've been wanting to watch it for the longest time, and it was definitely worth it. i enjoyed it a lot, in addition to the awesome company of gen and aimmee. :)

we really needed this movie. read the synopsis. heh.



p.s. i miss my indie movie buddy/other half, paul. :( wahhh. come back from england already.

056. late-night adventures.

i just got back 20 min. or so ago. jared drove genevieve and me around. it was sweet.

[x] drove up the berkeley hills in the dense fog -- that was scary
[x] stopped at lawrence berkeley lab and played on the big whale statue thing.
[x] drove down the hill in the dense fog -- scary part 2
[x] went to north side and walked around the berkeley rose garden -- dark and creepy -- and sat around there for a bit.

it was nice; a nice break from the apartment and immediate berkeley and studying and... thoughts.

good friends keep me sane.

055. combust.

it just blows your mind, doesn't it?

054. can you say...

ouch.

053. blindsided.

050. bridge of sighs.

paul sent me a postcard from england. i thought what he wrote was pretty cute/funny.

049. speak.

and all the roads that lead you there were winding,
and all the lights that light the way are blinding.
there are many things that i would like to say to you,
but i don't know how.

i said, "maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me,
and after all, you're my wonderwall."

048. still.

and i miss you, i miss you every single day.
