Mexican Wrestling!

So I just found out that Singles Awareness Day (or SAD) is on Valentines Day! It's a total joke! It's so crazy and I just found out there was some random pillow fighting going on in downtown SF too! Ahhw, I wish I could've been there! Sounds like a good way to meet someone or just beat the shit out of some guy which is usually what I do when I drink anyway. I don't know why but I feel so powerful when I drink that I think I can "beat up boys." Then the next morning all my muscles are sore and aching. I don't know where I get the energy or if it's something chemical. I hope what Maya says is true. I was driving her and Toddy to the airport yesterday and she said "Maybe we can start the wrestling events again" they used to choose a house and have "Mexican style wrestling" at someone's house which could be somewhat physical and intrusive. But I love the idea cause no one could challenge us the three sisters...we are dangerous force to be dealt with. Man, I'm gonna need to workout my arms and legs if I want to achieve the death grip on some dude.

Valentine's Day

This story is ridiculous but true. I just met this Asian guy in my acting class. He kept asking me to go out for a drink or for a movie but I was so tired from working all week. Plus he didn't know that I had a daughter yet. I finally accepted his invitation after plans with Claudia to go salsa dancing fell through. I arrived late after dropping off Bella at the sitter. He had bought the movie tickets already and was waiting for me. He greeted me with a dozen roses. I said "Oh, I wasn't expecting that!" And he said "Well it's Valentine's Day" Then ten minutes into the movie, he reaches for my hand and gives me a death grip! I slowly, for what seemed like an eternity, started to loosen my fingers away from his. He caught me by surprise! what a way to take advantage of someone unwilling! Then I crossed my fingers with both hands and sat uneasily while trying to enjoy the movie. Then 20 minutes into the movie, he grabs my hand again, but this time I decided to take his hand right back to his lap! I needed to let him know I didn't like that or at least just indicating for him to keep his hands to himself. I thouroughly enjoyed the movie "Benjamin Button" it was rather touching yet sad at the end. We exit the Theater and guess what?! He asks me if I had dinner yet and if I was hungry. I just told him I needed to pick up my daughter because she was at the sitter. He said "Wow, you have a daughter?" And I said "Yeah I do, and I'm a single mother." Then he said "No wonder you said you are so busy and tired."

Good Day!

This week in general has been great! I started the week off with my new acting class on Monday. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. I have about 40 classmates and they all look like they're really fun people. I know I will make some friends there. I have also been more appreciative of my job lately. Sometimes I take it for granted and I want to get a new job but this week I was really liking the place. I can't believe I have made some friends at my job. I think it helps not to be the boss so others don't dislike you. Yesterday I hung out with Jamie and the Bells. We played at the park and then went to get some pizza at Lanesplitters. I had two ciders and and a slice of pizza and I was buzzed already. Well I ended up smooching the Jamie cuz I just miss the guy and I wanted him to know that. He said he misses "us" too. I only hope that we remain friends for a long time. He's right in that we lead different lives, I understand but I also think that there were a lot of misunderstandings and expectations in our relationship. I am content to have time to myself these days though. I don't know how I was able to fit a boy into my schedule.

Prez

So I don't own a TV but today I sat down and watched the news online. I saw some people expressing so much emotion and excitement for what's to come. Even tomorrow will be a historical moment for our nation. I myself an excited at the notion yet not so thrilled to go to work tomorrow. I think I will start looking for a new job soon. Economy permitting of course. Lately there doesn't seem to be a lot of jobs available out there they all seem to require lots of references, licenses and credentials or schools levels achieved. It's ridiculous because I have a Bachelor's degree yet I am working at a entry-level job. I hope the classes I am taking now will help me further my career along. I still have sweet memories of working with 2nd graders and how exciting and interesting they were and how much information they absorbed from me. Especially the recent immigrant kids that just started learning English and by the time I left the school grounds they were proficient in English. So back to the topic or title. I hope that I have a career in education helping kids because I have great hopes that Obama and his administration will recognize educators and make my job easier. I mean who's going to school our children?
