    TINIAN AND BEYOND!
    Holy Moly, we have lots to discuss…


    So much has been happening in the Diana world. First, I have developed a love for Tinian and all of its like, 13 inhabitants. This includes Herman "the Chief," Jamie and Brother John, Vanessa and her hubby, the NINJA, "Brian", and Dominic the donkey. Oh! How did I meet all of these hilarious characters you ask? Good question. Well it all started 2 weeks ago when Kalani convinced Betty, Ellen and I to go to Tinian…


    We started our Tinian adventure with a harmless day at the beach. A little alcohol, singing and grappling. You know, the usual. That night we headed down to the fiesta and WOW. One flip cup game turned into another and another and another (which by the way, I am proud to announce that for the first time ever, this Flip cup champion had a ONE HIT ALL NIGHTER… Flawless Victory, my friends!) And here are some of my Tinian highlights:


    Kalani spending the entire night with "I heart John" painted on his forehead


    Peeing adventures…always a good time

    Deciding it was a good time to contact Ben when we couldn't stand



    The Herman and Kalani SUPER person



    Heading BACK to the Fiesta for some more flip cup after the club closed



    Dropping the fritada like, 17 times in that hotel hallway….who's idea was it to make me the carrier? What the?



    Tinian, we salute you. You flippin ROCKED!


    When we got back to Saipan, we were right on time for… CINCO DE MAYO BABY! Yahoo! And yet another 'holy moly' night. Oh my flip cup and Tequila!


    Juan the real Mexican, we salute you.


    This weekend Tinian hit Saipan for round 2 of Island Mayhem. Herman, and three more Tinians- The ninja, Dominic and Brian- came down. We started at the grappling tournament. My first match? HILARIOUS! That guy from Guam took me down so fast, I didn't even have time blink. 14 seconds thank you very much and the first 10 were me walking around him in the circle. That's when I was crowned my FIRST title: the fastest tapper in the event. No big deal!


    Then it was time for match 2 I lasted like 4 ½ minutes. That doesn't sound like a lot but I was SO tired by the end so zip it! Since I was the only girl, I automatically had fans. YES! And, since most of the grapplers were from Trench, they were right there cheering me on. Double bonus! I think I could have done anything and they would've clapped. And that's when I got my second title: Crowd pleaser…that's what I do! Haha! Oh, it was a sight…


    Monkey Shirt that has done me so well, we salute you.


    And then the celebration began. Wow… Kings, The Flair, Planking, Mongolians, flip cup, that Hawaiian girl?, throw up, a mystery phone, chocolate cake shots, Guam, Mo Vaughn, and ransom notes all lead to a GREAT night!


    Micro Beach who is always there when we need you, we salute you.


    And those are the adventures for now. Tinian, you are so underrated….YOU ROCK! And for anyone interested we will be holding one last Tinian encore Memorial Day weekend…get ready!



    Some questions I still have:



    1. Why is Kalani still single? Ladies, jump on this train to pleasuretown!


    2. Where was K-Town for all of this? TRAITOR!


    3. Who invited the Captain to the flip cup game? You know I cant handle that!


    4. Where did I put that silly cooler? Dang.


    5. What the crap is Brian's real name???????

    DOOMSDAY!
    The unthinkable has happened!

    That’s right, ladies and gentlemen...It’s worse then the plague. More terrifying than a diet. More devastating than any natural disaster....ROSE’S CAFE HAS CLOSED!

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! This sudden and unexpected decision happened just hours ago and my world is turned upside down. (Tear) What a world, what a world... Let’s all take a moment of silence to reflect on the happiest place on earth.

    I have dedicated this pointless rambling to my favorite restaraunt in the world.

    First, I would like to discuss Kathy. "Ms. Kathy" to some, "She devil" to me. How many times have you heard "Oh, Ms. Kathy’s so sweet."... "Ms. Kathy is so nice"? BLAH BLAH BLAH! Well, my friends, I am here to tell you the truth about your beloved Ms. Kathy. That’s right, Kathy....I won’t tolerate any more of you LIES!

    It all started last week during accrediation when Kathy came into my class. We had a lovely discussion about how I’m beating her in AR and I humbly reminded her about the time I WHOOPED her in that race. Casual small talk. Or so I thought. Before leaving, little miss nice pants says: "You know Felix, you should seriously consider drowning yourself!"

    What kind of a monster says that?! People don’t see this side of her so I feel it is my obligation to show kathy’s true colors!

    That got me thinking of all the Kathy quotes I had stored up in this bruised little heart of mine. So here is my collection.

    "Your presence alone drives others to suicide. SO ISOLATE YOURSELF!" (This was actually a written note....during Professional Development. Hmmmm, how can you learn when you’re so devoted to put-downs, kathy?)

    "F*** Bosotn! I hate you and your city! I don’t give a F***!!" (Witnesses? Check. Such a potty mouth on this girl. And I thought we were playing a friendly game of flip-cup...)

    "My class will KILL your class in kickball, Felix!" (She calls me "Felix" like a dog. Like I’m not a person with a first name! And to bring the kids into it? Sick....just sick!)

    Teacher or Torturer? YOU DECIDE!!!!



    My phone. This is another area for discussion. Yes, I do have a phone (Thank you to B-Rad) but it is all in KOREAN! I’ve had it for a few weeks and still cannot figure out how to text. All I can find is "REPI" which I took to be "reply" yet still have only managed to text MYSELF! I didnt even know that was possible. Not only that, but my ring is some Korean guy talking. Can’t lie...kinda creepy. Lord only knows what he’s saying. It sounds like "Haw da wah?" If you speak Korean, please get back to me on that.



    The next topic is my traveling plans. I am headed off to Bali in 6 days. Lord help us all. Especially Ben. Soraya has drilled me on my behavior and I have been instructed to:

    1. NOT touch anyone’s head. So "Duck, Duck, Goose",is out of the question?

    2. NOT drink the water and lemon mixture they might put in front of me at a restaraunt. Its to wash my hands. It is not soup. Good to know...

    3. NOT steal. They will kill me. I will put my theif dreams on hold.

    Equipped with these 3 tips, my survival book and Ben’s token brown skin, we shall navigate the island like nobody’s business! Bali, here we come!



    Finally, I would like to discuss my going away party on Managaha. It’s true. I will be leaving this fantastic island oasis in June and plan to go out with a bang! So the weekend of June 21st (ish) we will be partying down, camping style, on Managaha with some BBQing, late night swimming (Ha! Betty, look out!), bonfires, and of course, some flip cup! We will prove once and for all, who dominates: Boston or Saipan? We will play more Kings than you can handle. And we will be probbaly be throwing up sometime in the night. But it will be worth it!

    In true Diana fashion, I have not actually made any kinds of REAL plans yet but I figure I’d share my idea and someone would keep me on top of my game. Oh, it will be fun, I promise. Every and anyone is invited for the festivities! And kathy, I suppose you’re invited too. I MIGHT draft you for my team if you’re lucky... :)



    That’s the update. Rock on March!

We've got drama (have you ever heard of a "dog-napping? Yeah....think about it...), suspense (LOOK out if you mess with one of us...we roll DEEP. Making the girls cry will only get your car windows smashed in), comedy (You've never skinny-dipped on a frozen pond....and filmed it...only to watch at Christmas?), confusion (How long can you go until a colostomy bag pops?), and crime (yeah, we successfully planned and executed stealing our Christmas Tree from a gas station one year) My family rocks my socks!

    Do you share the same interests?:
    *Uh....who else would put up with those things?

    Which friend can you tell anything to?:
    *Flippin all of my friends, hello! Don't you know what a BEST FRIEND FOREVER is? I don't think you do, TOM, you myspace whore!

    Do you live life to the fullest?:

    Full is what I do.

    Part 5: Appearance

    Are you comfortable with the way you look?:
    *Body by Trench. Don't mess with this STEEL!

    What would you change about your appearance if you could?

    Do you have any piercings besides your ears?:
    *I got 2 belly buttons and a tongue. Rebel at heart. Watch out, I'm crazy.

    Talk about ENTERTAINMENT!
    "You could have your own reality show. It would be like 'Tune in tonight as Diana makes eggs' and there'd be like 6 million viewers!"

    -Logan


    Hahaha! So frickin true... I just had the most JAM PACKED session of sheer entertainment which should have been a simple birthday party. Let me share :)

    It all started around 4 PM when I was given the daunting task of making deviled eggs for Rhonda's birthday party. ???? Don't ask. So I'm sitting there with my googled step-by-step instructions (oh yeah, there IS an entire website dedicated to deviled eggs...off topic but I feel I need to share) and Logan stops by. After much convincing and lots of laughing, 3 hours later Logan (in my sheep apron-HILARIOUS!) and I are sitting on my floor COVERED in egg yolk and mayo with egg shells SPRAWLED all over my apartment....ah, good times.

    That episode Highlight?

    You would've seen Logan, in the sheep apron mind you, with a Christmas stocking on his lap say (all distraught) "I never thought I would say this but....WHERE DID I PUT THAT GLITTER GLUE?!"

    Then to the party we go. Even the car ride I was hilarious. Logan, Ben and I went together JAMMING to my Christmas CD....well, mostly me :) And just as Mariah was hitting all those high notes in the end of "Joy to the World" we pull up to the red light. We were there just long enough for the guy next to us to give Logan the "that's not right man..." look. Then that akward aftershock that I love...It was PERFECT!

    All I can say about the party is Flip Cup makes the world a friendlier place....no doubt about it! We had six teams compete for the title. Feelings were hurt, champions were made (Ote and Marc....I SALUTE you- Flip cup SOLDIERS!) and friendships were destroyed.... It was GLORIOUS!

    Shout out to my team- Dale, Kalani and Shar.....you guys ROCK! We were robbed of the victory!

    Trunk buckets, wigs, choke holds (My B Eric!), freshly painted tables, jell-o shots, and a cowboy hat makes for a HILARIOUS night with some awesome people!

    That episode highlight?

    You would have seen Team Boston DOMINATION! That's right! Me and my girl, Megan single-handedly ANNIHILATED Team Saipan (Please, Rhonda and Kathy....bring your A-game next time), Team New York (yeah, like THAT was hard to do! A complete shut-out thanks to B-rad failing to flip ONE CUP!) and Team Men (Nothing personal, we gotta do it for the ladies Marc and Eric!). NO BIG DEAL! It was a HEATED battle. We even had Pilgrims, Paul Revere and Benjamin Franklin thrown in there between the screaming and threats. All I can say is INTENSE!

    Boston. You don't mess with it!

    I get home around 3 AM to find Ben's family and some other random people outside. So I'm hanging in Luc's room and this CRAZY HEFFA comes in and tells me I need to get out. I try and explain that I am just a friendly neighbor but crazy heffa isnt buying it. Ben came in and said I was his girlfriend to give me some street credit but I think that only got crazy heffa angrier because then she told me she was going to slap me....and Ben! Now I'm slightly...eh...intoxicated from my Victories and I decide she needs a hug. I don't think she liked that.

    Next thing I know people outside are yelling, someone's looking to cut someone else's throat and Tony is looking all upset. I take a break from crazy heffa to find out that some guy went in Tony's room while he was sleeping and tried to rob him. At this point I just had to lean back and watch everything unfold. It was SO mush better than TV! :) Just as I'm thinking "Wow, this can't get any better," crazy heffa starts POUNDING on the neighbors doors. Yelling, screaming, cursing. Wow. For 20 minutes crazy heffa tried finding someone in the wrong room. Talk about ENTERTAINMENT!

    That episode's highlight?

    You would've LOVED to see the look on Diana's face when the cops showed up. It was like Christmas!

    That was until crazy hefffa all of a sudden decides that she and I are great friends! As soon as they show up, she comes out of NOWHERE and puts her arms all around me like we're just 2 friends hanging out. OH NO! Crazy heffa ain't taking me to jail with her! So the cops start asking questions and luckily the OTHER crazy heffa next door comes running out yelling "Her! That's the one!"

    YES! THE PLOT THICKENS with a new character!!!! After the cops left, crazy heffa disappeared. As uncle Herman put it "Be careful...she's on the prowl somewhere!"
    Yeah...I locked my doors. I'm not ashamed to admit it... Heffa is CRAZY!

    Anyway, I finally get to bed around 5 only to be woken up at 8 by....oh, you KNEW she would be back.....CRAZY HEFFA! She wanted to sleep in my bed!

    Do I need my own reality show? I think so! It was a solid TWELVE hours of QUALITY entertainment!

    Wow....I love this place!

    Current Mood: crazy
    Current Music: UB40 BABY!

    Dreams...
    So lately I have been remembering my dreams... a lot. Everyday I wake up, and I can give you a complete rundown of my crazy nighttime thoughts. I dream up teachers dancing dressed as Transformers, friends giving birth to lizards, and pet dinosaurs taking me around the world. Now, it's all fun and games until you beat a kitten.

    That's right.

    Two nights ago I dreamed that I was trying to beat a kitten to death. A KITTEN! What kind of a psychopath does that? I think I thought it was a rat but still...that's sick. Not even a full-grown cat either! A frickin BABY!

    Anyway, when I was at Rose's Cafe last night (which by the way, is the happiest place on earth and if you disagree I will BATTLE you to the end!), I saw a dream article. So I started reading it thinking it would say I had some kind of built-up rage issues or some kind of a crazy revenge. But no. It said that all these studies that they did with REM brain activity, found that those with lots of dreams actually had brain damage!

    Dang.

    Now THAT will ruin your dinner. But it certainly explains a lot :)

    Diana in Saipan: Why my life is so darn fabulous...

    I am having a great day. Why you ask? Well to start off I went to Rose's Cafe yesterday and B invited me to "eat tuna" with her for lunch. So I figure a sandwich and a cookie affair but I headed over today and heffa prepared a FEAST! She made homemade dumplings, this salmon soup thing, tuna sandwiches, turkey sandwiches, shrimp and vegetables, salad, fruit, wine, iced tea....I was in HEAVEN! Not only did I stuff my face with delicious free food, but I met an old married couple who used to live on Rota and now live here and quilt. Seriously, how many quilter couples from Rota do you know? Not too many Im guessing! I had an AWESOME time with great hosts, great quilters and my trusty sidekick, Luc..... Ms. B is the GREATEST!

    So that inspired me to write about why my life is especially fabulous lately. Let's start with I beat Kathy in a 6K race last weekend up at Marpee (It doesn't matter how much I beat her by, just know that I m the CHAMP!) Then, the newspapers messed up and put me in 3rd place! THEN, they wrote "Tong Tang" also raced! HAHAHA! It was great! Nevermind my FREE T-SHIRT and Subway...you know how I feel about free stuff!

    In more fabulous Diana news, I'm still Trenching with my boys, I won a free T-shirt and a little bear on Friday for losing a scavenger hunt!, I saved $1600 bucks for my Asian adventure, I got dental insurance like a big girl, I talked to Deanna yesterday, did I mention I beat Ms. Kathy? :) , but the BEST part of my day??? Luc discovered our couches have a little pocket where stuff slides into and he came over to flip my couch over. It was like a TREASURE HUNT! I found my battery chargER! And my checkbook! And then bonus prizes such as 2 quarters, 3 pens, a chicken bone, my necklace, a ruler, 6 pencils (I feel like thats a somewhat large number of pecils that should be in your couch), 2 sets of headphones and a HAPPY DIANA!!! :)

    Life is GOOD!

    But wait....it gets better....


    NO SCHOOL TOMORROW! I'm on fire!!!!!

    Current Mood: FABULOUS!

    My hips are pathelogical liars....
    Dear Diary,

    I am not Shakira. Nor do others mistake me for being the Latin bombshell. So why on Saturday when I saw a picture of her did I say "I wanna have hair like Shakira?"

    And why then did my "friend" Tony say "You won't perm your hair like Shakira."

    This brings me to today when a student said "Wow Ms. Felix, you like you got electricuted!"

    Haha! Stupid Tony....

    Can you guys tell the difference?





    I'm the one wearing pink sillies! :)

    But life is GOOD! Red Sox will prevail, reading levels are up, Tony's moving out, I'm saving mula, and I am STILL flip cup CHAMPION! Shout outs to my UNDEFEATED team- Rhonda, Rose, Eric, and Jeremiah? You guys did me PROUD!

    Thanks for listening. At least I didnt happen to see a picture of Bob marley, right?

    Love Diana

    WOOO WOOO (thats the sound of a siren)
    My kids ROCK! Not only did they write letters to the Saipan firefighters on September 11th, but it was their idea! So as a thank you, the firefighters came to SVS and showed my kids the firetruck and the ambulance...and we got coloring books too! :) It was great!

    So kudos to the firefighters for being so nice! We loved it!







    As a side note: HAPPY TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY! I had a blast!

    Sundays rock my socks!
    After a WHIRlWIND of a weekend with Jimbo's farewell party :(, Hard Rock fun (with a goodbye party to Somia- my temporary sparring partner :(), Trench fights (congrats to Jason, Tony, Ron and Ryan!), and Club V (great night, guys!).... I was DRAINED today!


    But a little Sunday relaxing was just what I needed. I slept all morning. Then me and Tony started watching this TERRIBLE movie and fell back asleep till 1. Then we sat around some more, enjoying the AIR CON (woo hoo!) and internet. I googled important subjects such as maggot reproduction, solar eclipses, and bamboo houses in Thailand....you know, important stuff like that.

    At 6ish we decided to hit the beach to watch the sun set....with ICE CREAM! Seriously, how could you go wrong with ice cream. It was great....see?



    Then, as if my day couldn't get any better, anorexic Tony doesn't want his ice cream....IT WAS LIKE CHRISTMAS!!! Life is good when you have one ice cream. But it's SPECTACULAR with two!!!!



    With lots of partying, BBQs, alcohol, and ice cream, I'm about to have a ROUGH day at Trench tomorrow but it was SO worth it!

    And no school tomorrow? BONUS!!! Life is GOOD in room 215!

    LIFE JUST GETS BETTER FOR THIS GIRL!
    I'm back on Saipan and life is GOOD! I'm back in the swing of things and living it up. Here is why life is good:

    1. My kids ROCK and are so incredibly good, it's scary.
    2. Greg, my HERO is leasing me his car for free....he is the best! All I have to do is fix it up.... (see "why life is good today section)
    3. My room no longer leaks pee water (don't take this luxury for granted guys!)
    4. Trenching it again and man, do I love those guys!
    5. I got paid (LOTS) to go to Managaha for PD and had a grand ol' time!
    6. My boyfriend has a flight to visit on December 17th... Let the Asian Adventure begin!
    7. Mrs. Lee. This heffa makes me laugh EVERY SINGLE DAY
    8. The ladies and I have been partying down...see pictures :)
    9. Last night I got free food and prizes at one of Angelo's Coral Reef things :)


    Here is why my life is especially FABULOUS today:
    1. I was supposed to pay close to 600 bucks to fix the brakes on Greg's car but this morning I pick it up and WOW! My brakes are completely fixed (450)
    2. The oil is changed and the filter is changed
    3. The power steering is fixed
    4. MY WINDOW IS FIXED! (which I was told would cost $300)
    5. Then here's the best part...the guy says "Oh, and you're air con works now) IT WAS LIKE CHRISTMAS!!!! I swear I almost kissed him right there! SO I gave him money to buy some beer for him and his friends and vowed to NEVER go to any other mechanic. This guy is the BEST!

    So, now as a loyal customer, I say "GO SEE THIS GUY AT:

    AHBHU Auto Care Center. 235-3285 It's to the left of Mt. Carmel Cemetery and he is THE BEST!"

    Ok, and lasty,
    7. I decided since the window goes up now and I can lock my door, I can get a new radio (oh...right Greg. I forgot to mention that it was stolen out of the car last week...my b. I live in the ghetto) So I got a new radio and had it installed for free!

    AH! JESUS LOVES ME!

    AND, it's Saturday.
    AND, it's the Love of my life's birthday :)
    AND, Home Alone II is on. COME ON!

    Seriously, does this place get any better?

    My vacation is almost over :( Dang...
    But it was fun while it lasted!

    Camping 07...now that was some GROOOOD times! My quotes from this year:

    -"Sorry I elbowed you in the forehead last night, Christen. I was fighting evil!" Mai, on her odd sleeping habbits

    -You think I could get like a day pass? Maybe clock-in and then clock-out when I was done?" Danny, being curious about the homosexual lifestyle

    -"Did anyone see that mouse on a motorcycle?" Mike farting

    -"I can see my own breath!" Kathy on the wonders of cold weather

    -"Silent night, Holy Light!" Christen deperately trying to win at the song game

    -"You sure do got a purdy mouth" Steve-O being HILARIOUS at dinner

    - "Things you do on a date, starting with the letter M.....MASTERBATE!" Tony...no surprise here

    -"No woman leaves Chubb Chubbville unsatisfied!" Chris soming out of NOWHERE!

    -"Something soft beginning with the letter V.....VIRGINS!" Mike

    These quotes along with Danny in a bikini, Steve-O single handedly RUINING Mafia, EVERYONE jumping into the falls (with Mai making human fountains and bouys as the rest of us freeze!), eating dog biscuits, me striking out Tony, "Five in the bed," 3 car sing alongs with Mike's IPOD, the lesbian Ranger flirting with my mom, JAMMING to Bended Knee, Flip cup DOMINATION with MAGIC JUICE, the best chili EVER, the log dedication, the fisrt MAFIA suicide and classic games such as "words in a song," "what animal would I be?," "last word," and "who can stand on one foot the longest?".... this year was the JAM!

    I only have a few days here in my hometown and man, has it been a fun summer! New roommates :), wedding shopping, Foxwoods, York beach, seeing the fam....it's all been FABULOUS! You guys rock! Saipan here I come...again!

    Home sweet home in the Dirty Dolph! Dedicated to Ben :)
    It's good to be back home but I have come to face some surprising adjustments to get used to.

    First we need to talk about the highway. Being in Saipan, the fastest you can drive on the island is like 40 mph. Throw in the fact that I ALREADY drive like I'm elderly and we run into a pretty shocking change. I feel like I'm in a frickin spaceship when I'm on the highway! Nevermind the angry drivers and road rage. They are NOT out to make friends....

    Milk. This is a big deal. I don't even like milk but when it's not in a box, it's like heaven to me! As soon as I got off the plane, I went to Nonnie and Pow's and enjoyed a nice cold glass of milk...with cookies...come on, you know me. I never realized how much I missed box-less milk.

    Now the mailman came as a surprise. Who knew there was such a strong bond between the American Postal Services and me? When I saw a mailman, he was like a celebrity! I forgot that somewhere in the world, your mail gets DELIVERED to YOU. This crazy concept was lost to me... Luckily Chris was with me so I couldn't chase the mailman down and hug him or something.

    Walmart. This was no surprise. Happiest place on earth, hands down!

    So my time home has been awesome filled with family time (sitting around...for hours....watching Pow's house being power washed, friendless bbqs, awkward hammock nights) quality time with the bf (Red Sox games, New York City) and awesome nights with the pals (girls night, poker, drunken talks with Sammy at the bar, LAST WORD).... the devil living underground...ERRONEOUS!!!!

    Add in my DOUBLE BUBBLE running shoes, the Cheesecake factory opening soon, the roofy game (haha!), this hilarious joke that Mai just shared with us "Who stole the saop from the bathroom? THE ROBBER DUCKY!", camping with a Christen and Ms. Kathy invasion, fourth of July right around the corner, and the fact that I'm eating at the Olive Garden tonight, and we're looking at a frickin AWESOME time home!

    Oooh! And I found the quote for my life!

    "In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and...SNAP! The job's a game!"
    -Mary Poppins

    Now SHE'S one smart lady!

    It's May and I feel GREAT!
    Nine more days till school is over and I gotta say that will miss those kids. I can't decide whether it's the snotty noses or the constant ojects in my hair (including but not limited to popsicle sticks, glue, snacks....and this one can get interesting, googly eyes, paper and stickers), but I sure will miss them. Today I tripped over one of them....and I mean a full-on trip, like I slid face first down the center row. The funny part is that they are so used to me looking like a jackass that they didn't even blink. I just got up and kept talking. I got one "are you okay?," 2 or 3 "we told you to take off those big shoes," a couple of headshakes like "what a loser," and one "OUCH!" That was the girl I pummeled. My B....

    In other Saipanian news, the Deanna/Tony invasion? Frickin awesome. Of course they both went through the first week with the usual "I hate this place," I'm gonna kill myself." Or, a direct quote from Ms. Deanna "This is hell on earth!" But by the end of our adventures (Madhatter party, Tinian gambling, THE SHIM!, paintballing, cars breaking, no AC/food/money days, and wig parties) Deanna wanted to change her ticket to stay and Tony just applied to teach here next year. Life is GROOOOD!

    In more "Diana hasn't updated in a while so shut up and listen to her" news, I am back to the States in 3 short weeks! WOOO WEEE! Camping 2007....YES! And Ms. Kathy? BONUS! And I have a boyfriend? WAHOO! And if I have a job when I come back...JACKPOT!

    Just in case you need to know...
    1. I HATE my cat. Spawn of Satan
    2. I am homeless come June 1st. Tee hee...
    3. Trench Tech....now THAT'S hilarious to watch!
    4. Flip cup? I am the reigning CHAMP
    5. Chubby Bunny? Not so much.... :)
    6. If I was more technalogically advanced I could show pictures. But I'm not. Miscuzzi....

    I'll be writing from the States next! Lata Alligatas!

    Life is good! Long...but somewhat interesting
    Some people just shouldn’t have pets. I am one of those people. Last week Teresa gave me her wild kitten/cat thing to keep. Yahoo. I was like a real grown up!

    Cat didn’t last 24 hours under my supervision. As soon as it got the chance, it head-butted the screen door and ran like the wind. I didn’t even know cats could move that fast.

    Dang. I didn’t even get a chance to name that thing. So I haven’t seen it in days and I was almost certain that it had died in the wilderness...until tonight!

    So my 4 year-old neighbor came over and told me that the neighbor’s cat was eating the food I put out. So I check it out and it’s my no name cat!!! It lives! It still didn’t come near me but heck yeah! So we had a rough start, big deal. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I always head butt doors and run away the first time I meet people.

    In other Diana Saipan news, I went paintballing in the jungle with Rhonda and the boys...interesting scene. All I can say is that I won’t retire until I hit Alex dead in the forehead, that bastard. (and when I say “in the forehead” I mean “anywhere on or around him”...heck, I’ll even count his car) I suck pretty bad.

    I just bought a new rice cooker and it is PHENOMENAL! Why I made like 8 cups of rice...I have no idea. I hope my cat likes rice.

    I beat Luke in thumb wrestling. (See previous post). That’s right.

    The Red Box is no longer serving food at happy hour. This upsets me. I wanted to cry but instead I sang “Ebony and Ivory” with Cleo. Fun, but just not the same as eating free food.

    Deanna is coming soon! WOO HOO!!! Heffa better get a job if she thinks she’s using the air con though :)

    Anyone down for Tinian next week to gamble away your money? Hands in!?

    School has been a blast as usual. My kids are hilarious. Some of my favorite quotes this week include...
    (Life in the cafeteria)
    Me: Stop turning around and eat your food.
    Student: I can’t. I can’t stop staring at my dream boy (as she bats her eyes)

    Student: He took my pencil Ms. Felix!
    Me: Well, problem solve, how are you going to get it back?
    Student: (few minutes later) I took his notebook so he can’t use my pencil. I problem solved.

    Student: (After seeing that pork was for lunch) This is the happiest day of my life!


    In other, “Diana should be fired and here is why” news, my Korean exchange student went back to Korea last week...with a bang. My sweet, little, silent, peacebuilder Korean. On her very last day of school as the bell rang to go home, she handed my, how should I put this nicely, “classroom agitator” a note that was to be opened the next day.

    All I can say is that I am SO HAPPY that I confiscated that note. I never laughed so hard! Mostly because she was so quiet and polite, and that I didn’t even know she knew that much English! That note made my week...…

    (His name) you are bad.
    I don’t like you.
    Next I saw you, I push you. (this is my favorite line)
    I mad at you.
    By, bad boy

    It’s hanging on my fridge.

    DAG NAB IT!!!
    I was robbed. Then my phone broke. Then I went to Java's to do laundry...forgot my clothes. Quarters and detergent can only take you so far. Dang.

    But at least I'm not blind.

    And luckily Ben loaned me $30 until I can go to the bank or my atm card magically appears. In honor of this stinky weekend, I have decided to make a list the things I am ridiculously good at....

    1. Planking...you know this! Chris is the only one who has beat me so far but no worries, I have been training like a monkey for his defeat.

    2. Holding my breath. I will beat you. Unless your're name is Karl or if my hair covers my eyes underwater. That scares me and I'll quit.

    3. Thumb wars. Undefeated. Ben MIGHT have a shot but I'm quite confident that it is due to his strangely flexible thumbs...that's not human.

    4. Competitive eating. I'm good. What can I say? I don't go for speed, I go for endurance so if you want to battle me, I'm ready. And Roman, I'm still waiting...

    5. Guessing who sings the songs on the radio in record time. Oldies are my specialty but I am an all around phenomenal guesser.


    There. I feel better.

    Happy Birthday to me!!!
    I thought being in the middle of the Pacific for my birthday might be a little depressing without the Randolph crew but man, did I have a GREAT time!!

    I started off New Year's Eve as usual, buying myself a plastic crown and wearing it every where. Then, I hung with Rhonda and Ellen and bought a loud/obnoxious shirt to wear...I'm the birthday girl, I can do whatever I want! Then to Jimbo's...or the "Dead End," which I now understand the meaning of.

    Jello shots...oh dear. Mix those with ribs, good frickin company, a REALLY cool bra, Luke being Luke, my tiara being the life of the party...(yes, I probably do have a picture of YOU wearing it so look out!), and fireworks and you got yourself an AWESOME New Year's party!!!

    I was thrown up on but just a little bit. Didn't bring my night down. I just found it odd that I was thrown up on TWICE in one week....thank you, Angelo...is that right? Anyway, we also firework battled Jimbo's MILLIONAIRE neighbor....MILLIONAIRE. I don't think it was a fair fight. Although we did outlast him. From Jimbo's roof, we could see all of the island light up with fireworks!!! Then it was my first birthday...you know, Saipan time! :)

    I then went to bed/passed out. It was a glorious night!

    Today first things first, the crown went on and Val, Waldron, Rhonda, Kim, Sean and I went on the BANANA BOAT!! Besides a paddle to the face, it as AWESOME!!!! Although I had to take off my crown for it... AND, we celebrated my Boston birthday at 3:00pm with a countdown and everything! Now I'm officially 22!!! WOOOO WEEEE!!!

    Now we're headed to Oleai for the party to continue!!!! Life is GOOD when you're 22!!!! Crown is on.... :)

    Crazy Shananingans...
    Life has been great.

    My apartment has lime green floors. That's perfect.

    My class is insane. And I love them for it.

    My friends are amazing. They lift me up when my cake falls on the floor. :)

    I hate having a cell phone so everyone can find me all the time...Although I do feel like a big girl :)

    My car is still alive...NO BIG DEAL!

    I am still the plank champion of the world. YES!

    But most importantly...


    In T-minus 8 hours, the love of my life will be here. I am PUMPED! I cleaned my room and everything! WOOOOO WEEEE!


    LIFE IS GROOOOOD!
