Professional Couchsurfer
I feel like I usually post more often on this thing, but I've been SO BUSY.
If I'm not working (or going to Knott's Berry Farm Theme Park for work), then I'm planning my trip to Paris, London and Ireland! Planning the trip, I admit, is immensely fun!
I've even been using sites like couchsurfing.org to find places to stay in Paris. It'll be my first time using this system.
But guess where I am staying in London?!? With a BLOG FRIEND that I made here on Blogger!!!!!! Her name is Jackie and she is a English stunner :) Jackie, I am so grateful!!!!
Seriously, that's all I have to report on my life right now...

Meet Churro:
As many of you know, I'm living in a new house with new roommates. One new roommate is a miniature Don Juan, and his name is Churro.
Churro likes to steal ladies underwear, as I have found out the hard way. Churro doesn't ask permission to kiss me, he simply jumps on the couch and has his way. He's needy, and begs to be held all the time.
Typical womanizer.
And yet, I still love those Latin Men. heh.

Word Up!
"If you think your whole life is just about you, then you're missing the whole point of your existence."
I cannot agree more. Church really rocked tonight.

I've Been Through Hell
Man, this past week was really trying. Each week at the camp, we get some returners as well as a new batch of kids. Well, the mix of kids this past week was HELL-ISH. HELLLLLLLL-ISH. Everyday after work, I either indulged in ice cream or wine. Until I finally prayed about it (hello!) and got some divine guidance on the situation.
What was the situation, you ask? Three boys (one of which was 8) who were hitting on counselors, saying things like," Damn girl, you have a nice ass," AND causing fights with other campers left and right. WHERE DO THESE KIDS GET THIS FROM?!?
Anyway, I made some suggestions to my boss last week to make the program run smoother (he liked them). So, I'm hoping the next week with be better. PLEASE oh PLEASE oh PLEASE! So I don't rip all my hair out!
Yesterday, I had a much needed day of rest. Pool and tanning and eating Greek food and basically BEING A BUM. And I am tanner (yay!). And I feel more relaxed (yay!).
Here's to a good week...PLEASE GOD!

Good Times & Good People
I saw Smokey! I saw Smokey! More importantly, I heard Smokey! When I got to the fair, I was bummed--they told me the stands were full. So my friend and I went on a few fair rides (which seriously did a number on my stomach), bought some cotton candy and were ready to split, when I got to urge just to check if there were open seats (by this time, the concert was almost over).
To my delight, there were open seats! We only caught the encore, but it was a smashing encore--it lasted maybe 30 minutes, and I caught "Tracks of My Tears." I didn't know an old singer could sound so good, but Smokey brought the house down! And he sounded just like he did back in the day. He even added some sultry dance moves...hey, I'll be in heaven if my *future* husband can move like that at that age. Yeahhhhh, Smokey!
***
Anyway, here are some random pictures from the summer thus far:
Lainey and Me. (Lainey is a new roommate). She saw Smokey with me!
Another new roommate who is an amazing photographer! Meet Candace :)
View from my new summer job in Encinitas, California.
The Turkish Flag in face paint, succccccckas!

A "Smokey" Fourth
Happy Fourth!
I'm pretty much all moved into my new house. Maybe after I put up a few decorations and photos, I can take some pictures of the house for you all.
Tonight, I'm looking to go to our County Fair and get into one of the free concerts. Who, might you ask? Smokey Robinson! People who have read my blog for awhile know my love for Motown...and Smokey is a STAPLE of Motown. The only problem is the concert is first come, first serve. I'm gonna have to knock all those baby boomers out the way! *Crossing my fingers* (and lifting some weights).

I just bought my plane ticket to go to Paris, London and Ireland from August 17-28! To say that I am excited is an understatement!
Other good news...found out that I passed the CBEST today. First teacher test completed [check]!
Tis a splendid day.

Good Food, and Then...a Move!
San Diego is getting hotter! Hello summer!
Though, I may be sweatin' right now from making a kickass dinner from a recipe that Rita suggested (she has two blogs, so check em out!). It was yummy and easy and I was proud of myself. Yay!
So, about this upcoming week-- I may not be around that much cause I'm getting all my stuff ready to move. That includes boxing stuff, cleaning and buying some things from IKEA (good ol' standby) all before Wednesday. Yep! I'm moving this Wednesday!
Hopefully, by next week, I'll be settled in, and will have bought my plane ticket overseas (I'm waiting on a loan to be approved that will help me out).
If I don't post till then, here's to a good week!!

M.J. the Legend
I'm still a little weirded out by Michael's death. Only cause ever since I can remember, he seemed larger than life to me. Since my birth, Michael has been the M.V.P. of pop music--I grew up knowing him to be the definition of pop. So in a way, it feels like the death of a force of nature, somehow.
Even though he pulled some crazy stunts, I always felt sorry for the guy. Who can handle that much fame at such a young age and turn out okay?
He's gone earlier than I thought he would be, but I suppose a tragic life begets a tragic death.
My top five Michael/Jackson 5 songs: "Never Can Say Goodbye," "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough," "Billie Jean," Who's Lovin' You," and "Beat It."
"Billie Jean" is the best, hands down, and is easily in my top 10 favorite songs from any artist.
P.S. Being sad over a celebrity's death is not pathetic. Just like any person you run across in life, a celebrity has the power to move us, even if we don't know them personally. I believe this especially goes for musicians, authors, artists and the like.
