Yes Mr. Darcy, I will take your hand...

*Sigh* I really shouldn't watch those romantic films, even if they are classic... Ahh Mr. Darcy! So dashing, so handsome! (He has an accent too!) I always walk out of the movie theatre feeling as though I were a part of that story. (It took me about ten minutes to stop thinking with a British accent) I stepped into Elizabeth’s shoes, and I can't seem to get out of them. *Sigh*

I am in Oklahoma right now for those of you that didn't know. I am with my family. It’s pretty chill here. I was getting ready to go to the movie as my step-dad was watching the local news in the other room. I overheard them repot that a lady's purse was stolen! Wow. You don’t see that everyday! I’ll remember to lock my door next time I drive downtown. Jenna said that they came to the college she works at to report on the fire alarm that went off due to a mishap in the biology lab! Boy they really get on the scene!

Ahh, this week has been good. I learned some good stuff at church on Tuesday, going to eat some turkey tomorrow, had a Sonic burger, Killed my brother at Super Smash bros., was "nuzzled" by my "Oklahoma Best Friend," went to the movies twice and saw OKC in one of the movies, was hugged back by my un-huggable sister –Johanna (her boyfriend has changed her for the better! ahh Michael you are a good man!), and will finally meet him face to face on Friday! Oh and by the way here is a picture of when I first met him.

yay! I finally got some pics from Halloween!

Why do I always end up wearing awkward costumes!

"We're going camping now we're on our way! We're going to climb the mountain and run and jump and play, and as we hike a long were going to sing our praises to the King!"

Humm... I need to start thinking about what I am going to wear next year... my partner in crime will be back from her year's adventure... maybe we could be toothpicks! Oh or forks, everyone needs a fork! Well we have about a year 'til the next crusade Halloween party! We’ll see.

LA, Orange, and San Bernardino County

My Friend Libby from Ohio State came to Anaheim this past week! She is the only one I have gotten to see from project! It was soo cool seeing her. on Saturday I took her to her first ever In-and-out experience! She thought it was awesome, then I showed her Cal State and the "Train Station." She met Faye and Doug and we decided to go to Hollywood so that she could say that she went there!

"Neiner Neiner Neiner, we went to Hollywood and you didn't!"


She enjoyed it despite the creepy street performers

"sigh... Not the real Johnny Depp"

anyway... it was still fun! We had to drive back to Anaheim in time for me to get back to meet everyone at the train station at four, so we could drive to redlands to see the Lifehouse production of "Esther!!!" I guess you can say that I didn't anticipate the traffic to well, coming back from Hollywood :( I ended up being 40 minutes late!!! so that meant after about an hour and a half of driving, I didn't have time to get out and stretch. Michelle, Andrew, and Stephen piled in the car and we drove off to Redlands.
Just as we got driving down the freeway, my "o/d off" light was flashing, which never happens regardless if I am in overdrive or not. so as I was planning to pull off the road to restart my car to see if it was ok, I got a call from Rae saying that they had to jump AJ's car battery... uh oh. After I restarted my car, and found it to be fine, I got another call saying that AJ's car was on the road already. That's good, we're still making time!
we went driving down the 60 and took the 215. As soon as we got on the 215, I got another call from AJ.
-Hey Jessica, where are you exactly
-I just got on the 215.
-k good, cuz my car just died.
we had to go back onto the 215 and try to jump AJ's car again. ... As Stephen would say "no dice." to make this part of the story short (because I am sure that AJ will post this part) we basically ended up having to get a tow truck and AJ's dad picked up the people in AJ's car. While I drove off with Michelle and Stephen, and picked up Allison who was at a Chinese place in Redlands waiting for us. We all finally got to the theatre bye 7:10 five minutes before it started! Which also meant that I had been sitting in a car for four hours!!! Ak!
The play was amazing! It was so funny! and AJ's brother, Mark was a hilarious guard. During the intermission he and his other comrades went around harassing audience members. Including Andrew who was forced out of his seat as the show was starting! :P

(I know you who visit "The Train Station" blog have seen this already... deal with it :P)

Afterwards we hung out at AJ's house for an awesome dinner :) yummm..., Mark showed me some sweet tap moves, and we played an awkward game of "telephone." I don't know, something about "Spandex" in a telephone phrase just isn't right.

Even though he was a sexist, Freud's theory still makes me think

I just feel like writing now. I don't know what to write. I learned about the phallic stage of the Freudian theory today. Don't worry I won't go into detail. But something interesting that my professor asked was if we found that women tend to put guys at a higher level. He used an example of a girl who has a bunch of girlfriends, and then as soon as she gets a boyfriend she dumps her friends. Now I Know this is a little far fetched for an example, but it does happen. Here is another example: what about when two girls like the same boy, isn't there sometimes a feeling of rivalry, even minor... I guess this happens with guys liking girls too... hummm... (I am sort of processing through this right now). What about this, doesn’t it seem like girls are meaner to girls than they are to guys. I guess I have been thinking about this, because I find myself getting in arguments with girls easier than I do with guys. I know that that there are some girls that I want to be vulnerable with, but I feel like I can't, but it is easier for me to go and spill my guts out to a guy. ...arg! I'm also thinking about this because me and my friend just snapped at each other... grr I hate that we do that, we get so defensive. Blegh! I just need to see the best in people before I get all defensive and judgmental. I'm still training in that area.

I never had Pink Eye as a kid, and now it's the second time this year that I have had it.

I went to my Dad house this weekend... we talked aout money. That's always fun. I wonder if there is any college student out there that doesn't have trouble with asking their parents for money. Your blessed if you are. be grateful.
today was a cool day. AJ Doug Stephen and Andrew all dressed up like T-shirt ninjas and battled it out in the quad. Most student, as is typical of CSUF students, just ignored. Man! We need some community in our campus, Andrew blames it on the fraternities. He said that they focus to much on their parties, implying that they should do some crazy random stuff on campus. I know that back in the east, college students would be willing to do more stuff like that. Colleges like Penn state and Ohio State, actually have community. From what I have herd the art department at Penn State has a great sense of community. The art students practically live together. They stay up all night working on their projects in the art department, whereas we here at Fullerton stay up all night in our apartments. Ohio State (OSU) has the biggest school pride I have ever seen. I was shocked to find a friend on project who always wore one article of school apparel. Whereas I haven't one article of CSUF apparel. They also describe their school like a big fraternity, in that when ever they meet someone that either currently goes to OSU or went to (no matter how long ago) they connect with each other right away, as if they knew each other for years. Here I only have a slight connection if I find someone who is currently going to my school and is in my major. Just an interesting thought on our school's apathy. Maybe we should keep doing this random stuff. I know Sharon and I, have been wanting to do some crazy stuff. eh...
okay well off to bed! (2:11am) Night All!
