So this next week is gonna be a crazy time in my life. I'm not sure I have the time to pack in everything I want to in this short period of time.
Today: The Big 24. Yowza. It's also the start of Fall. I love the smell of fall. :)
Monday through Wednesday: Try to have lunch and dinner with some of my buddies. Also throw in a workout here and there. It's going to be a crazy week at work for me. It's one of my busiest 2 weeks of the quarter. *le Sigh*
Thursday: My last day of Work at Mountain View Headquarters until 2008. My team is having an offsite in the late afternoon. Wine tasting and a nice dinner in the South Bay. Woot! After that, I'll most likely be driving down to LA. Don't worry, I won't be drinking. :P
Friday: If all goes well, I'll be waking up in my bed in Los Angeles. I'll probably run a few errands during the day. I'm hoping to have a dinner with my family in the evening. Somewhere near the 'South Bay' or the 'Westside.' After that, I'll probably spend some time in West Hollywood with some friends.
Saturday: Drive to SD. Spend some time down there.
Sunday: Last Minute errands. I'm sure I'll forget stuff.
Monday: Arrive at Burbank Airport. Leave for Detroit, Michigan. It isn't a direct flight because I have a stop in Colorado. I should be in Michigan around 4pm. Pick up my rental car, drive to Ann Arbor and go to my housing. My housing is available after 5pm.

Real friends have your back
I don't really like relying on anyone else. Becoming dependent on others makes me feel a bit awkward. I always go to the worst case scenario. What if they don't follow through on what I'm depending on them for?
I guess by not relying on others and being independent, It helps me from not thinking about that 'worst case scenario.'
So last night rolls around. I had a fantastic time with some friends after work playing poker, eating a bit of pizza and playing a karaoke game on the PS2. I came in 3rd of 6th place in poker, in case you were wondering. I lost on a full house with the winner having a four of a kind. :/
Anyways, a few of my friends who i was playing poker were going back to SF. I wanted to go to a club in SF because I would get to see some of my friends who I haven't seen in a while (John, Devon, Milo) and some of my friends who I will be seeing less of because of going to Ann Arbor and other circumstances (Ty, Evan, Eddie.) Heej was kind enough to offer me a ride up to SF. I called Alex and Joe, because Joe was in the city and heading back down to where I live in the Silicon Valley. So I could get a ride back home from him. At least I thought that was the case...
When it came time to leave the club, Joe was plastered (I can't drive his car because it's a stick), Alex didn't give a shit that I was stranded, and I now had to deal with that 'worst case scenario.' Ty, one of my good friends and co-workers who I was hanging out with at Dragon, came to the rescue and asked Fred, who was heading to San Jose, to see if I could get a ride back to my apt. in Sunnyvale. Fred was kind enough to give me a ride, even though it was a little out of his way. I was rescued by real friends. Before I left, Ty said 'I Have your back, Girl!' Now he needs to know I have his back anytime, too. Also, before I left, Devon said, 'Anytime you need a place to crash in the city, You're more than welcome at my place.' My friends know I have their back and I know I have theirs.
I guess I learned my lesson. Either (1) Don't depend on others or (2) Only depend on your real friends.
I had a great time last night. It will most likely be my last club experience in the San Francisco Bay Area until 2008. I can't wait to go to A2 but I have a sour taste in my mouth from last night

Big News, Big Move
I know this seems REALLY random.
I'm moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Google's Ann Arbor Sales Office.
So it's not long term. But it will definitely be a change in my life. I'm moving for the entire 4th quarter (Oct. to Dec.). The opportunity popped up this week and I was lucky enough to be accepted. I'm excited, a bit nervous, but ultimately it will be a major refresh in my career.
