We went to Disneyland for David's 21st birthday.



Lauren (David's girlfriend) says that this photo is full of happiness. She's silly.



Allix came! We're happy at the happiest place on earth, can't you tell?




There's Danny. He's leaving for Alaska on Thursday. Hopefully he'll be visiting at the end of July!

Today I donated blood with my mom. I didn't realize it had been two years since the last time I donated! There was an old lady sitting with me at the table eating snacks, and she was making comments about this lady's boobz on CSI. It was funny.

I still don't want summer to come. :(

But I'm happy, kids.

"I AM over you. But I'm not over how much you hurt me."

I didn't realize that until I said it to him.

Some people are just plain annoying.

There's something going on that I definitely didn't expect to happen and I'm not sure whether to be excited or scared. Hmm. It's in God's hands.

I have to leave for work in ten minutes. Only three days off work this week. For some strange reason, I have four days in a row off; Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. What to do?! David and I are going to go see our friend Zach's band play in Visalia on Saturday. I went to Visalia on Saturday and hung out with my friend Jonet! I hadn't hung out with her in a so long. We'd both been so busy.

I've had this song stuck in my head for like a week.

I need my bangs cut.


Going to Disneyland this weekend for David's birthday.


I have laundry I need to do.


Saw Flight of the Conchords on Friday in Santa Barbara.


Jake broke up with me on Saturday.


I don't like summer, I don't want it to get hot.

This is my 1,000th journal entry!

And this is a cute photo of Jake and I.


Y'all can all throw up from the cute now.


Not much is going on these days. Obviously, Jake and I are still together. I haven't seen him much the last couple of weeks because he has been doing tile work at his mom's house and babysitting for his sister a lot.

Today I went to Bakersfield to have Famous Dave's with Jared and David. My phone decided to die in the Best Buy parking lot. So I'm back to my old phone that I had when I was eighteen. It doesn't even have a camera it's so weird and old, haha. So I am on the look out for a new phone. I might get a Samsung Blackjack. It all depends on the money. Mom and I looked into getting me an iPhone on my own plan, but it's still too expensive so it's not worth it.

Star Trek is my favorite movie of the year. I'm not sure if anything else will top it. We'll see! I saw that leaked version of Wolverine, and it was okay. Definitely could have been better. blahblahblah

I'll update this more often, I promise.

My ear hurts, I want to go back to sleep, but I have to leave for work in ten minutes.

SHUKWIT is here! We went to Denny's last night. Then when we came home, I put a pillow on Jake's lap and fell asleep.

Mmmmm....sleeeeeeep...

M. Ward is playing in Visalia on May 15th. !!!!!!!!
!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!


This was news from about two weeks ago, but I still am like this:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm going to more shows in these next two months than I have in the last ten months, haha. Lakes in playing in Fresno on Friday---I switched hours with a girl at work so I could take Katie to that. Jake is coming as well because we're taking Katie's friend Cameron. Facedown Fest is the beginning of next month, then comes May which brings Flight of the Conchords, M. Ward, Oh, Sleeper, and probably other bands. I haven't been to shows in forever. It should be fun, right?


Jake and I have been together for four weeks today. It's gone by so fast and been a ton of fun. He's not working overnights anymore, so I work with him more often now. Work is so different for me now that I see him all the time. It's so weird how he is such a different person to me now that we are together. He makes me really happy.

My parents are out of town today and tomorrow[?] for a concert, I have today and the next two days off. Maybe I'll clean my room.


Maybe.

Last Monday my best friend Jake brought Katie and I some Icees while we were at work. Him and I sat down and talked for two hours just catching up on a lot of things. We hadn't been able to hang out much because he started working overnights for six weeks, then my family was moving our ice cream shop. To sum up what could be a super long detailed entry (I'm lazy)---that night while we were texting, he confessed that he's liked me for about a year and a half. So after a lot of hanging out together and praying, we've come to this:



As of last night we're "official." I have a boyfriend? haha


But seriously, I couldn't be happier. I never thought that I would fall for Jake. We've always had different people in our lives, and I never actually thought about us being together. But in the last week and a half, he's done nothing but amaze me and I've fallen for him so badly.

I'm happy.

This is the PERFECT springtime album! It came out just in time.



Next week is Jimmy Eat World in LA and major Shukwit hangoutlovetime.

Yep :)

I'm waiting to take a shower right now. I have work today 1:45pm-9:30pm. Today I got to sleep in (is 8:30 sleeping in?, haha) and it felt good. Today is my last day of work until next Sunday, ha. I am going to be helping my parents make Valentine's Day cakes this week at the ice cream shop, because I know they'll be tired from the move and all. We'll hopefully be open in the new store on Monday. Mom also has TWO wedding cakes she has to do this week. On top of all this, Jordan will be here as well. I have to be at LAX around 9am-ish to pick him up on Monday. CRAZY WEEK.


I've decided that I am not going to cut my hair shorter. I don't regret cutting my hair, I just don't feel like having it shorter, haha. Long hair was easier for me. I just miss it.


A week ago I bought tickets to see Flight of the Conchords in Santa Barbara. Fourth row, kids. Fourth row! But I also spent more money than I expected to, and I had to take some money from savings...sooo yeah. like my status on facebook has said for almost a week now: "Leah keeps reminding herself that Bret and Jemaine are worth spending $200."
Right?
Right.

Jordan is coming to visit from Texas a week from tomorrow. He'll be here until the 14th.


I think I got asked out to dinner by someone I've known since I was like three years old. At least he was being super flirty last night in myspace comments and messages.

Dudes are crazy!

Let's just leave now.

This is my mother playing Guitar Hero yesterday.

There is a very high chance (about 90%) that there will be a boy visiting me from Texas next month. I still need to ask my parents.

David and I are going to Del Taco today to have lunch. I'm really excited, hehe. I got my new debit card in the mail today as well. I am glad that I no longer have to write checks or have people type in the numbers of my card. The first thing I did was update my Netflix account so that I can get two dvds at-a-time. I plan on getting one of my regular dvds that is in queue and the other one will be used to get Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes.

It's a rather odd feeling for me to be genuinely pursued by a guy. Especially when it's a complete turn around of the way he was almost three years ago.

----


I want to cut my hair again. I can't find any photos of what I'd want though.


David and I went to southern California for New Years and several days after. It was a lot of fun to see a ton of friends and just get away from Porterville. KRISTEN was there! I had a ton of fun with her. I'm so glad that her and Shukwit are together. :) Someday I'll post pictures from the trip.

I forgot to mention last month that I got cashier of the year at work. I'm apparently supposed to get some sort of gift card, but nothing has been given to me. I did get this cheesy certificate though.

I'm horrible at thinking of things to talk about here. I want some cookies.

I had this long entry written out two days ago just basically talking about the emotional breakdown I was having, but decided not to post it.

Girls are crazy. Completely crazy.

But today my best friend Jake is taking me to Olive Garden for dinner. It's my birthday gift.


Last night David, Katie, Daniel and I all went to Fresno to go to the Unseen Show. I was so excited! I hadn't seen Cameron or Alana in over a year. I was also just excited to see Lakes. Seth played "All of Me" (he was the singer for Watashi Wa) and that made me happy. But what made my night was when Katie and I went to buy some merch, and before I even said anything to Seth he said "Hi!! I haven't seen you in so long! Leah, right?!" It made my night. I didn't expect him to remember me even if I did say something, it has been four years since I saw Watashi Wa last. Adam Pasion of Briertone and Becky Filip from the Honey Trees played as well. We left before Stephen from Anberlin played, because none of us like Anberlin.


Tuesday night David and I went to Fresno as well. We just went to hang out with Joe. That show sucked, but seeing Joe was worth it all.


Dad's making menudo and that's awesome.

I am 22 now.
My birthday was really lonely.

But tomorrow I will be in southern California for the weekend. I really want to see friends.

I'm lame and do this every year. Whatever, dudes.
This is mainly for my mother/siblings/myself, because when they ask what I want, I never know.

( Christmas, too. My birthday is December 11th )

I chopped all my hair off last week.


Sixteen inches!


My birthday is next Thursday. I work 2pm-9:30pm, but have the whole weekend off! Danny is coming to visit. I hope it's better than last year.

Allix was here Saturday night until yesterday afternoon! It was a ton of fun to see him again. I missed/miss him. His little road trip he's on made me want to go somewhere.

I'm horrible at writing in here lately, haha.

I'm hopefully going to be quitting Home Depot very soon. Sunday afternoon when I was at work, Dr. Reader, who is an ear & sinus doctor and goes to church with us, came in while I was working garden. He asked me how long I had been working there and all I said was "A year and a half---it'll be two years in April. A lot longer than I expected to last here!" When I got home from work, mom and dad had told me that he had talked to them at church and basically offered me a job as a receptionist for his new Visalia office. I need to call him and find out more info. We'll see!


Today and tomorrow are my days off this week. I also have Sunday off. Anyway, I have a small list of things to do today---which includes:

Buying Jimmy Eat World tickets for their CLARITY TOUR OH GOOD HEAVENS!!
Doing laundry. I should have started that already.
Calling Dr. Reader.
Sitting around and doing nothing because it is my day off.
Madagascar 2? Maybe?

My birthday is in less than a month. I feel weird turning 22.

I want to start building credit. I'm not sure how exactly to go about this since mom believes credit cards are evil.
