tomorrow (today) is the first day of the quarter and i have an 8am class...its 1:40am right now and i just can't fall asleep.

this past summer was really chill...a lot more laid back than last summer, but still fun.

it started out pretty cool, with josh being my roommate for like 6 weeks. the weekdays were mostly school for me and driving to LA for josh...but on the weekends it was all about shibbying @ huntington beach, beach volleyball, more shibby and cheap BJs courtesy of rose & diana.

there were times when josh and i would butt heads...one some nights, my laid back, low maintenance lifestyle would totally clash with his i-like-to-party-i-like-i-like-to-party attitude...and it didn't help that we only had one car (which my dad mandated that no one else can drive without me).

meh, whatevers...i basically learned that being around the same person for a full 24-7, no matter how cool they are, is never a good thing.

anyways, fourth of july rolled around. loved it. it was that party @ natalie's place and i met some cool girls there. i'll never forget when josh and i were partners for taboo...

Mel: if everything about a girl is hot but her face, you'd cover it up with a brown...
Josh: BAG!!!
Mel: yes!!!Mel: if you sleep with an underage girl, you go to...
Josh: JAIL!!!
Mel: yes!!!
Mel: i have a lot of this on my computer
Josh: PORN!!!
Mel: correct!!!

fourth of july was also the day i talked to my precious Jasmine Trias on the phone. (and i know that some of you fuckers voted "0 stars - terrible" for that post i made about it...but i don't give a rats ass what you think.

i think its fucked up how you guys never rate anything "good," yet you made the effort to rate "terrible" on something i care about.

)

anyways...there was also that weekend when mike came to party down in huntington. that was a good 'ol drunken time, i must say. :beerchug:

...unfortunately, that weekend was also when my beloved hamster passed away...

you my boy, pube!!! you my boy!!!

i think it was the weekend after that when we had another shindig at my place...me, alan, james, josh and dan. i'll never forget the jamming on the ukulele while alan & drunken josh would freestyle the lyrics.

that weekend was also the time when i hit an incline @ 60 mph with a full load of guys in my car...and also ended up paying $500 for fixing her up afterwards...

for the rest of summer, things got really chill. josh flew back home and i was left with a buttload of computer programming and web design projects.

oooooh wait a minute, how could i forget the cal poly sausage fest in my apartment!! all of the old school montecito crew were at my place, drinkin' & smokin' it up. that was also the first time "jimmy" tainted his virgin lungs.

good times...good times...

once summer school was done, i headed to vegas for a week for some errands...tinted out my car, fixed like a bagillion computers and some other shit. it was my first time @ my parent's new vegas house, which i must say has that hotel suite feel to it.

the final days of my summer i spent working @ home...i have a deadline for my JustBBall.com that i refuse to miss. (on a side note, last summer i broke the 1,000 member milestone...this summer i broke 6,000.

) on the weekends i'd drive back to webb to visit cristina along with the rest of her family. at the football field, i bumped into my classmate, natasha...

Mel: natasha??
Natasha: mel??!
Mel: oh shit, hey!!! how are you??
Natasha: i'm good.Mel: so what are you up to now that you graduated?
Natasha: i'm relaxing now, but i'm gonna get my PHD over at UCLA.
Natasha: ...what about you?
Mel: oh, i'm still at cal poly...
Natasha: oh...when you gonna graduate?
Mel: 2 years...ish...
Mel:

later that night i kicked it with my webb homie, stan, who also just graduated. damn all you people that follow the 4 year plan!!

so anyways, i'm at my apartment now. my roommate, sam, still smells like feet. the two new roommates seem cool though. one of the guys i played bball with a few seasons ago. they're also neat freaks, which is a good thing as roommates.

holy fuck, its 3am now and i have to get up by 7. alright, i'm out. thanks for the great summer everyone...and an even bigger thanks for actually reading this whole damn thing. have a nice day.
