Why do I have strange cravings sometimes? Sometime I have a craving for a cream mitsumame... like right now(which makes sense because it's hot), but sometimes I have a terrible craving for french fries and a chocolate frosty (not to be eaten together... I just take one bite of each at a time.). There are even times when I crave hot soup when it's 100 degrees outside.
My brother just showed me a cheap (but amazing) udon place that just opened in our local Japanese market. I seriously can't get enough of that stuff. It's like crack cocaine to me. I think I make my brother go on a weekly basis because you really can't beat a $4 bowl of udon. :)
I must be feeling nostalgic because I now have a craving for mac and cheese. I don't even know where the craving is coming from because I barely eat that. Doesn't it sound yummy right now? And a cold mango for dessert! (I say that because I have the yummiest mangos in the fridge right now.)
OHHHHHHH! Indian food sounds good too. Gimme garlic naan! Sigh... I need to stop thinking about food. It's getting late, and it's almost bed time. Oh dear, I'll probably dream about food tonight. ;)

Hopes and Dreams
I have so many plans when it comes to transfering (schools). I want to study abroad... maybe Europe, maybe South America (I wish I could do South Africa, but that cost A LOT of money.)
I can't wait to only take classes of things I am interested in, and not a general education class. I wanna learn about evolution, the Earth through time, and actually go out there and see it in person.
That's what gets me through the day when I am having a hard day at work. Someday, I'll be the person who spends $1,600 on worthless things (or not... my heart will not be able to bare spending that much). I'll be the person telling the cashier that things will get better.
Oh goody, who thought 25 was old? I just took a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time to grow up (not that I am yet), and find what makes my heart happy. Isn't that what life is about? Doing what makes you happy?

Lazy Days
I had a few days off, and so I was as unproductive as I could be. I watched Korean dramas for hours, slept in, and ate at odd hours of the day.
It has been really nice to do nothing for a few days. I think that sometimes I just get bored of my routine, and I crave days where I can do nothing. Some people get bored when they have no plans or places to be, but I thrive on it. Of course I couldn't (or could I?) do it everyday, but it's nice to do when you are burned out.
Korean dramas are a terrible influence on me. It makes me want to travel all over, eat everything, and have a ridiculous standard for how people should behave. What? Isn't it normal to have a guy carry you down the street when you are tired?
I did get to watch the finals for the World Cup (Japan won), and watch the final installment of Harry Potter. How I grieve that it's now all over. What will I look forward to now? Oh I know! The Hunger Games!
My work schedule is back to taking over all my free time, and I'm looking forward to going back to school. I don't usually look forward to going back to school, but at this point... anything is more fun than work. Haha.
Hopefully I'll get more lazy days soon. :D

Shopping Spree
I feel like I am really obsessed with Target. I buy something from that store almost every other day.
I've learned to be a coupon carrying crazy shopper. Mind you, I am not one of those extreme coupon people that you see on television. I just like buying everything on sale. I've learned to not want to buy anything that is retail price. It's almost painful when I have to.
I use a coupon for everything. From cheese to medicine. I'm even tempted to buy a coupon organizer, but I don't want people to judge me. But it would be so convenient... I can already see all of you rolling your eyes. Haha.
It may sound weird, but I am learning how to shop by watching others do it. It's impressive when you see someone buy a cartful of things for under $20 or $30. It makes you feel like you have been ripped off all your life or that you are completely silly. It's just so easy to save...and their website even has lots of store coupons.
Maybe I'm not actually saving any money. I am just shopping more often, so it could even be that I am spending more. I wouldn't be surprised because I am a bit of a hoarder... Oh dear, maybe I should forbid myself to shop for the next week. I'm sure I have enough toiler paper to last me for years. I have more than enough cereal, and I should be saving. :)

Soccer Fever!
USA! USA! USA! USA!
It's the women's World Cup, and I am so excited to have a team that is in the finals again. I remember there was a time when Mia Hamm was my hero, and now I am just as in love with the USA's goalie Hope Solo!
I always root for the USA team (like last year's men World Cup), and I am so glad that the girls kick butt! How I love knowing they are up against Japan for the finals. I am rooting for USA of course, but it's nice to see an underdog come in. Japan has been terrific this year too, so it's going to be fun watching the final. :)
GO SOCCER! GO USA!

HARRY POTTER!
Oh my goodness, I can't believe the books and movies have come to its final chapters. Harry Potter has taken up so much of my life. I am a fan of HP although I cannot claim to be the biggest fan. I basically grew up with it, and remember reading it in elementary school... or was it middle school?
To think that there will be no more new Harry Potter after this week is a little bittersweet for me. How can it end already? I still want more!
I am going to watch the final movie at the midnight showing, and I am pretty excited. I can imagine all the crazy dedicated fans that will be all dressed up. This shall be interesting... :)
It's the movie I've been waiting all summer, and I know already I'm going to be heartbroken. I've always had a thing for Snape. ;)

Strange Cravings
It's pretty warm outside, but I have been having this constant craving for soup. I don't know what it is, but I want soup for every meal. It doesn't matter if I just had some... I want more.
It's not just any soup. I want clam chowder. I want it from Disneyland. I want it from San Francisco. I want it from the Olde Ship. I JUST WANT CLAM CHOWDER.
Clam chowder and a cold mango for dessert. Is that weird? Is that two random things to crave? Do I need help? Has the heat damaged my brain? Aren't you suppose to crave refreshing food when it's hot?
Can I just have a bowl of chowder? ;)

Happy 4th!
I had work today, but I did spend a productive morning with my mother. I don't get to spend a lot of time with her, so it was nice to do things with her before I had to go to work.
I don't know what I was expecting at work, but it was really, really, really slow. I expected to bored, but it turned out to be really nice. When it's slow, you are able to talk to co-workers, and that is something I never really got a chance to do. It turned out to be delightful. We complained about people, told jokes, and read magazines. It made work go by really fast, and for the first time I couldn't find anything to complain about (regarding work).
I came home to everyone in my neighborhood blowing fireworks, and I did miss out on the festivities, but I'm ok with it. I am not a person who is big on holidays, so it is never too much of a big deal when I miss out on them.
Happy 4th of July to you all. I hope everyone is having fun, but is safe at the same time! ;)

Heat!
Oh goodness gracious it's been super hot. I know I'm being a baby because it's not even that hot yet. Seriously, it's summer already? It's July? Ummmm... I am not ready for all of this! I am still in like 2006. Turn back time! Turn back time!
Whenever it's hot, I have this strange craving for a slurpee. I feel like I'm 12 when I am craving one. Is anyone ever too old for a slurpee?
The weather has been fantastic (maybe a bit warm), but I have not gone outside to enjoy it. I want to go to the beach. I want to go on a camping trip. I want to travel. Wait, I always feel that way... but still... I really want to go on a camping trip. I want to see trees and dip my toes in a river.
Oh, I want to eat an ice cold watermelon! That sounds delicious! (Wow, I do jump from topics to topics.) I really shouldn't skip dinners because I end up with all kinds of cravings. :)
