We were all kickin it (me, my &amp;lt;3 Sean, and the glorious truck) Sean and I decided to walk away... for what reason I don't entirely remember, but I'm sure it has something to do with me and my addiction to juice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway Sean heard some noise coming from around the area where the truck was parked. He went away to check on it and next thing I know I heard him shouting "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?!?" I immediately ran to see what all the ruckus was about. When I got there I found myself in the presence of Sean, the truck, a large rock, and a crazy bitch. I had to call the police ... blah blah blah.... and it turned out that this lady had somehow manged to leave her mental institution apparently in order to smash the windshield of glorious trucks with massive rocks....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We don't blame her.... and her institution agreed to pay for the damages, but she was definitely one crazy bitch. Poor truck. We still love you and all your glory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I leave you with a photo of the offending rock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JkPXj2ZHL5o/TdBbEMLRzeI/AAAAAAAAASY/UVDQrRv-KI0/s1600/bitchassrock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JkPXj2ZHL5o/TdBbEMLRzeI/AAAAAAAAASY/UVDQrRv-KI0/s640/bitchassrock.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8119924783148194364-3590831058452517671?l=alenacupcake.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/feeds/3590831058452517671/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/2011/05/crazy-bitches.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8119924783148194364/posts/default/3590831058452517671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8119924783148194364/posts/default/3590831058452517671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/2011/05/crazy-bitches.html' title='crazy bitches.'/><author><name>AlenaCupcake</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14013044748146585513</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/Sr-eYClTXeI/AAAAAAAAAAw/g24RIdEy6oQ/S220/mebeach.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JkPXj2ZHL5o/TdBbEMLRzeI/AAAAAAAAASY/UVDQrRv-KI0/s72-c/bitchassrock.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119924783148194364.post-3028158766412302197</id><published>2011-05-15T15:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-15T15:09:03.157-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='metal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AlenaCupcake'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural hair'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='underground music'/><title type='text'>so...</title><content type='html'>I really need to start posting more.

I took a few pictures of the park and people filtering in before the party started....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TH4Evyt67mI/AAAAAAAAAPY/3Kcfx276aVE/s1600/IMG_2007-1-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TH4Evyt67mI/AAAAAAAAAPY/3Kcfx276aVE/s640/IMG_2007-1-2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TH4E3GJOn-I/AAAAAAAAAPg/_GzyrjpMAvQ/s1600/IMG_2008-1-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TH4E3GJOn-I/AAAAAAAAAPg/_GzyrjpMAvQ/s640/IMG_2008-1-2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TH4E-OlcWUI/AAAAAAAAAPo/Rv9yJhE-eRw/s1600/IMG_2014-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TH4E-OlcWUI/AAAAAAAAAPo/Rv9yJhE-eRw/s640/IMG_2014-2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TH4FTyNaquI/AAAAAAAAAPw/oLXMdMrWLnU/s1600/IMG_2015-1-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TH4FTyNaquI/AAAAAAAAAPw/oLXMdMrWLnU/s640/IMG_2015-1-2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;this particular one was located in Hope Park in downtown LA.

Its a ford bronco that we got for the amazing price of $400! yep. So anyway, it runs really well .... that is until they started to do a little "tinkering" under the hood. Which caused it to.... break down. &lt;i&gt;don't worry&lt;/i&gt; it is up and running again now (and is serving as our primary car), but i just thought that it was absolutely hilarious that they didn't know what they were doing to the point of taking a perfectly running car and breaking it down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TGgsQLzMqqI/AAAAAAAAAOg/6hhcG2N8YkU/s1600/IMG_1934-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TGgsQLzMqqI/AAAAAAAAAOg/6hhcG2N8YkU/s640/IMG_1934-2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Trav-kid. the man responsible for the madness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TGgslGJb7VI/AAAAAAAAAOo/p6kq5Olj774/s1600/IMG_1931-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TGgslGJb7VI/AAAAAAAAAOo/p6kq5Olj774/s640/IMG_1931-2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Rocky and Deagle trying their hardest not to get involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TGgs1lRdYhI/AAAAAAAAAOw/SKIrUkFZB08/s1600/IMG_1936-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TGgs1lRdYhI/AAAAAAAAAOw/SKIrUkFZB08/s640/IMG_1936-2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;All the materials that were extracted from the car, lying on the floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TGgtD4rEiJI/AAAAAAAAAO4/LZkhIrjAz6U/s1600/IMG_1938-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/TGgtD4rEiJI/AAAAAAAAAO4/LZkhIrjAz6U/s640/IMG_1938-2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;the local gangster saw that we were in need of help... and this being &lt;i&gt;his&lt;/i&gt; neighborhood, rushed over straight away.

It was just really, really, bad. And not funny. But maybe I'm just a hater. lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here's a picture ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/S89muchadhI/AAAAAAAAAIs/veItdR4P-N4/s1600/Photo_215%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/S89muchadhI/AAAAAAAAAIs/veItdR4P-N4/s320/Photo_215%5B1%5D.jpg" wt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;isn't she gorgeous? but I will be adding much more after the weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;will write more later!

Woke up ... well actually kinda late, which then resulted in me getting to class late. But I still made it. I chilled in the library for like, an hour, then hit the J-O-B. Now I'm at home relaxing with my love and preparing to face tomorrow. Tomorrow I finally have to hit the DMV, to get my license back. It has been tough without it, let me tell you. Tried something new with my makeup. Please excuse the cross-eyed look in this pic (oh and those frizzy hairs everywhere!

Same me.</title><content type='html'>Soooo. The new year has arrived. Yet I find myself doing the same exact shit that I was doing before. I'm still trying to push ahead and finally fucking finish college. (Which has become a challenge in itself, with the stupid budget cuts and classes that I desperately need not being offered...) I'm also working my ass off. Being supported solely by myself means that I need to find a way to keep a roof over my head and get groceries, keep the electricity on and all that shit, but I love my life. I'm living and learning and enjoying everyday. I am happy and glad that I have found a way to experience LIFE. and all that i can see of what it entails. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To all others out there like me (and those who aren't as well), keep your head up. Enjoy your youth before it slips out of your fingertips. ; D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8119924783148194364-9199017873281152762?l=alenacupcake.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/feeds/9199017873281152762/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-year-same-me.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8119924783148194364/posts/default/9199017873281152762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8119924783148194364/posts/default/9199017873281152762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-year-same-me.html' title='New Year....

My boyfriend's mom flew into LA for the weekend and she was sooo lovely to have around. We walked down La Brea and ran into this awesome $1 clothing sale. They had some really good pieces that I just couldn't pass up. Then we went to Melrose, checked on some of the shops over there and later on that night she took us out to dinner, all the while apologizing that she has here and that we could go have dinner by ourselves while she hung out at home. Why would we do that when she was the one putting in extra effort to make our weekend great?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hope your weekend was the same. Honestly I gotta get back in the blogging game...

"Why?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I just figured you or they did. What about your grandparents?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realized then that he was asking me where in the world I was from. I told him,"I don't know my original language. My family's ancestors were slaves."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This conversation seemed to confuse my asian-american co-worker. It seems impossible for others to understand this. They have a sense of who they are in relation with their original country and language. To see someone who has none of that puzzles them. They simply cannot relate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I never really looked at myself and tried to figure out my true heritage. I have been content in most of my life to be exactly who I am and have never tried to search for anything more. But there is a deeper part of me that I do not know. I thought about Alex Haley and his quest to find his ancestors. It inspires me.

My hair has never been super long, maybe just down to my shoulders, and it has never been without damage of some kind. More recently, my hair has started breaking. It could be because of the constant perms, which have been done by my own hand because I can't find a hairstylist in LA or it could be because I have also been dying it black, which I have also done myself. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Whatever the reason. I've decided to go natural. I haven't had a perm since &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;July&lt;/span&gt;, which makes me three months out. I also have decided to try to do this without a big chop. But we'll see. In the meantime, my transitioning styles will be braids or weaves until my hair can grow to a length that I'm comfortable with. Don't worry. I'll keep you updated. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8119924783148194364-3091793632641502410?l=alenacupcake.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/feeds/3091793632641502410/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-own-natural-hair-journey.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8119924783148194364/posts/default/3091793632641502410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8119924783148194364/posts/default/3091793632641502410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-own-natural-hair-journey.html' title='My own natural hair journey...'/><author><name>AlenaCupcake</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14013044748146585513</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/Sr-eYClTXeI/AAAAAAAAAAw/g24RIdEy6oQ/S220/mebeach.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/Stdxubg0dlI/AAAAAAAAACc/Fs7HlKVZFkM/s72-c/me.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119924783148194364.post-2983607888765482764</id><published>2009-10-04T22:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-04T22:30:08.740-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gelila bekele'/><title type='text'>Why the world should pay attention to...Gelila Bekele</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/SsmA8KdaeMI/AAAAAAAAACM/5r0u_4YPqUk/s1600-h/gelila_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388980200213739714" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/SsmA8KdaeMI/AAAAAAAAACM/5r0u_4YPqUk/s320/gelila_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Gelila&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bekele&lt;/span&gt; is gorgeous. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;She is an Ethiopian born model who is rocking my world.

When I'm away I really miss my parents and my sisters. (i'm one of four) My sisters are young so whenever I'm away I feel a little bit like I'm missing out on their lives. I'm missing a big chunk of them growing up. My boyfriend took this picture when we were heading back to la on the infamous 5 freeway. Look at my dirty-ass car. Note: I also got my first speeding ticket in my whole life there.

He missed me soo much. I picked him up from the airport on the last day of finals at school and I thought, "wow. now life can begin." He's been with me loving and supporting me ever since, but we'll probably move back to the bay when I'm done with school... ; D&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I took this picture while we were waiting for my sister to get out of school.

So my family came down from the bay to witness the greatness. Most of the family that I'm close with was there so I had an awesome time. It was really amazing and I'm sooo proud of him for finishing in four years, majoring in engineering, and never giving up. Love ya cuz!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Standing next to me are two of my dear cousins at USC at the engineering graduation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/SsQouimqGAI/AAAAAAAAABk/cNbUJaAQb9M/s1600-h/IMG_0268.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 443px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 106px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387475834269997058" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/SsQouimqGAI/AAAAAAAAABk/cNbUJaAQb9M/s320/IMG_0268.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;4.

The weather here is perfect for bathing suits and sunscreen. (yes. black people wear sunscreen) I especially love Venice. Everyone there is so eclectic and beautiful. If I could spend everyday on that beach I would.&lt;/div&gt;I took this picture on Venice one day when I was admiring all the beauty surrounding me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/SsL_XrV4dPI/AAAAAAAAABU/uVZhc4Ot9YE/s1600-h/IMG_0293.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 205px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 263px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387148886525113586" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/SsL_XrV4dPI/AAAAAAAAABU/uVZhc4Ot9YE/s320/IMG_0293.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 5.

Not in a conventional sense, because I can't draw to save my life, but I can write. I barley ever write how I feel or what I feel until it becomes absolutely necessary to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example.. When my boyfriend and I were separated for year (not separated like broken up, but like he was in the bay and I had moved to la) I talked to him everyday. Like five times a day. But I still didn't feel close to him. I missed him so much and felt like I was missing out on his everyday life. So I wrote him a poem. Like the best poem I've ever written and he LOVED it. That made me feel like a half of a whole again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since then we've moved in together... (he followed me to LA) and I sleep next to him every night. I'm happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today... well tonight really I feel like writing. I feel like writing all the beauty I see in the shape of his hands, the light in his eyes, and the warmth of his skin. And he knows. Because he sees it in me too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm lucky to be with him and that he allows me to share in his life and wants me to walk through life with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love you Sean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;PS&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; worry not all my blogs will be love letters ;D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8119924783148194364-3138121132054735726?l=alenacupcake.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/feeds/3138121132054735726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/2009/09/when-i-am-alone.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8119924783148194364/posts/default/3138121132054735726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8119924783148194364/posts/default/3138121132054735726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/2009/09/when-i-am-alone.html' title='When I am alone...'/><author><name>AlenaCupcake</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14013044748146585513</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/Sr-eYClTXeI/AAAAAAAAAAw/g24RIdEy6oQ/S220/mebeach.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119924783148194364.post-3654132923953870203</id><published>2009-09-17T15:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-17T15:30:51.533-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jobs...</title><content type='html'>So yesterday at work they called us in for a meeting...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Just to let you guys know everything will be fine. Don't Worry. Work always slows down like this...."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't even know that there was a problem that people were worried about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So everyone starts gossiping..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There were layoffs this time of year last year....we all better start looking for new jobs... I know a couple of places that are hiring..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was all a little shocking to me. I just moved into a new apt with my boyfriend, trying to finish school and also have a life of my own outside of all this. My means to do all of this is my job. My beautiful contract job. Which I am very grateful for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This job is paying my rent, putting food on my table, and is holding a certain spotlight on my resume.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I know in these trying times I'm not the only person that this is happening to...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that others have kids they need to pay for, medical bills, student loans, credit card bills, and all other types of things that cannot wait.

Ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm celebrating. (via champagne)&lt;br /&gt;I've always wanted a blog and finally decided to become computer literate enough to make one. A blog to me is like a public diary.... So if you have no interest in reading certain things that happen in my life or my opinions on anything then there is no need to read any further. But for those of you who are interested, or maybe just for my own peice of mind, I will write this blog. I have no schedule for how and when I will write, but just whenever I feel the itch. So I hope this was an ok introduction. Not too much, and not too little. Just a little bit of me, &lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;AlenaCupcake&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8119924783148194364-4670590558779411238?l=alenacupcake.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/feeds/4670590558779411238/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-blogger-helloooo-world.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8119924783148194364/posts/default/4670590558779411238'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8119924783148194364/posts/default/4670590558779411238'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alenacupcake.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-blogger-helloooo-world.html' title='New blogger! helloooo world!'/><author><name>AlenaCupcake</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14013044748146585513</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U2FcIL0dnlQ/Sr-eYClTXeI/AAAAAAAAAAw/g24RIdEy6oQ/S220/mebeach.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
