Sheisty people get what they deserve. I have just witnessed a crime and yet I have no idea what the heck happened! I was walking back to the apartment after getting a huge tri-board and I was rounding the corner to our humble street when all of a sudden, I was roughly shoved into the shady computer store. All I remember were 3 big guys. The one that shoved me was a big black guy with corn-rows and huge studs on his ears. I had NO idea what was going on until after the owners (Asian couple) came running out after the 3, also roughly pushing me aside. The lady shouted, "Ah, they got away. Call 911!" Guess where the three big scary guys went? Er, down our street! So now, I'm a bit scared about everything. The worst part of it all is 1) I don't know what happened, and 2) I don't know where they went! *shrug*
Aside from my scary encounter... Walking down Sproul is great. I LOVE hearing, "You're Kris' campaign manager? I'm gonna vote for him." I still stress out, but at least it's a good stress today. *smiles*

I now know what it feels like to be high on life. It's such an amazing feeling. Caleb... you should probably stop reading now because the rest of this entry will be very cheesy, but I can't help BUT feel the way that I do. I have just experienced THE MOST amazing and moving night of my life. Never in my wildest dreams could I ever imagine that such an event would be possible. However, tonight, Kris proved that the ASUC IS capable of bringing a diverse community together and work to achieve one united cause.
Kris approached me with the idea of Relay for Life last semester and I have been the one opposing voice throughout the process. Honestly, how many college students would give up their Friday night AND Saturday morning to walk on some stupid track?! Well, try over 2,000 students! And how about adding $30,000 (and counting) to that number? It was nothing BUT successful! The Luminaria ceremony was so touching... over 300 candles lit in a row, each one representing a person that either battled cancer and survived or a loved one that passed away due to the disease. Words cannot express what I felt tonight... and for a girl that has something to say about EVERYTHING, it's quite a change for me. Complete with good friends and good people with hearts of gold, all of a sudden, nothing seemed to matter. I didn't care that I was completely drenched from head to toe, or the fact that I was as cold as ice, or that I was so hungry I could eat a horse... I was lost in the moment. I can't even begin to describe the warmth felt in my heart... all I can say is that it is a good feeling.
Tonight, a community REALLY came together. People from all walks of life came together and made something beautiful happen. I have renewed faith in mankind... this is the reason why I joined the ASUC: to help people, to do good. I'm still in awe of what Kris did tonight and as his campaign manager, I have never been as proud of him as I was tonight. Through all the arguments, the laughter and the tears, THIS is the reason why I do what I do... all the sleepless nights, the loss of weight, the physical and emotional frustrations... I witnessed a miracle tonight and it has given me hope.

THE BIRDS AND THE BEES
Much to your disappointment, this entry isn't about sex... I usually leave that up to my former roomie, Teresa. (Shameless plugging for y'all to read Sex on Tuesday columns!) If there's one thing I realized tonight, it's that guys and girls are built competely different. As in my conversation with Elaine tonight, which sparked this blog entry... besides the obvious physical differences (duh!), males and females handle things in different manners. Maybe it's because of the testosterone or maybe I'm just completely WAY off base, but guys tend to internalize all pain and frustration. Like a soldier, they keep taking it and for that, men truly amaze me. It's kinda like a "Show No Mercy" tactic.
For girls, it's a different story. Of the two genders, girls tend to be more emotional and sensitive about things. Now, I'm no typical girl, but I think I'm starting to fall right into that category. I'm usually pretty rock solid when it comes to being professional. I don't normally let my emotions get in the way. I'm a trooper, I keep fighting until I get what I want. But lately, each day is a battle for me and at the end of the day, I'm battling myself to try and keep the tears in. I don't think guys really understand that... at least, not about me. I'll say a thousand times that I'm okay, but I'm really not. I don't want to show any weakness, but it's definitely been an uphill battle. Thank goodness for girlfriends... they know the true me, whatever that is...
It feels good to be called "princess" every so often... feels even better to be treated like one.

RANDOM INTERNET SURFING
It's ridiculous how much sh.t talk goes around... I decided to do some random internet surfing today and came across the strangest things! Apparently due to my close ties with Kris, a certain political party is said to “already be looking for dirt on the campaign manager, trying to discredit her because she’s a Republican (!) (Or so I’ve been told.).”
Ladies and Gentlemen, that is THE MOST absurd thing I have ever heard!!!! First of all, I DARE you to find dirt on me! Secondly, I like Gray Davis… sorry, NOT a Republican! And thirdly, if you need to “discredit” me for any reason, obviously your candidate is a loser to begin with. Win based on your own damn qualifications, please! If you can’t do that, you don’t deserve to be president.
Sorry, for those of you interested in reading the site from where this entry stemmed from, I’m sorry, I cannot link it on this site. I don’t want said political party to come snooping around here.
