il santo padre è passato

wow... haven't updated since february... it's been a long time; lots has happened, but i'm so upset right now...

the pope died about half an hr ago... the man whose greatness i witnessed last june while at the vatican... unbelievable experience. i'm so fortunate for being able to see him in his "health"... the pictures i took... the crowds... it was simply amazing. he obviously has lived a full life [overcoming communism in poland, leading the catholic church for 25+ years, etc.]. he did so much; set so many precedents for the church. it's just so weird... this may sound odd, but when i began to learn about catholicism years ago, i wanted to be the first woman pope. NO JOKE. ask my parents. obviously i realize that would be impossible now, but i felt as though there was possibility.

i want to go back to rome SO badly... we're going back this summer. i think it would be amazing to be in rome when the election of the next pontiff was happening... with all of the cardinals there. i just hope that the next pope is less conservative than jp2. there's a cardinal in cuba that is more liberal... that would be amazing and completely refreshing for the catholic church. i don't think an american will be the next pope because of the whole scandal with the pervs over here. the priests need to keep their dicks in their pants... and parents need to realize that the whole sexual molestation issue is nothing new... my grandmother [as a young girl] was told by her mother to never be alone with a clergyman... even if they are to be "holy men," lives completely dedicated to god; they are human, too. there's so much on my mind right now... clearly. i've already cried... was gonna go out tonight, but i feel as though i should go to church... see you later.

maybe i'll journal about what happened within the last month later on...

"you're one of those fucking people that thinks their fucking better than everyone else..."

this weekend has been... eventful. lol to say the least. friday went to the ck v. cc hockey game w/ col max. nice try boys. that last goal was cheapppp... it was your game to win. saturday we had the metro conf. tourney. we moved up 3 places in the conference if that counts for anything(?). not that bad. thank god everyone has learned that everything ott says is bullshit. IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER. it took some of them WAY too long though. ohh well. @ least im guaranteed not having to deal with him next year. if he's still there, im not playing. THERE'S NO WAY. and if he doesn't coach, then im there! count me in. the team is going to be lacking... hopefully we can pull it together and some people can step it up. soooooo yeah fun times on sat night... lol went out to richelle's for her bday (sorry we had to leave early, richelle). it's definitely not fun to be sober and hanging out around a bunch of trashed people. let's just say the night ended with me slapping al [richelle's sibling] across the face... not joking. fmi contact me. lol. sunday i had to work and drive home on the shitty roads... im sick of the fucking snow and slush, today i had to clean my room, do tons of hw that im still not done with... ahhh obnoxious. my weekend doesn't sound very eventful, but i was always busy... i need a day to just stay home and relax. a day to do absolutely nothing. maybe next weekend. this week is gonna be busy. :-/ have a good one.

Sat, 29 Jan 2005 02:06:05 GMT

hello all. this week has been fairly miserable... well at least most of it. got the finals back - did pretty well on all of them... college here i come? we'll see if anyone wants me... soo what else happened - OH YEAH i sprained my ankle at the end of practice on wed. GREAT good job, charly. so now i don't know how long i'm out for. at least till monday. this blows. on top of this, i'm sick with a monster head cold... can't breathe. yeah good times, let me tell you. glad it's the weekend and i can go out. oh wait. NVM i can't walk. hmmmmmm. gotta be at school tomorrow @ 7am - nice&early - for the bus. we have WAY too many tournaments. every fucking weekend. and it eats up your entire weekend. you can't be out late fri. night bc you have to be up early sat. and you're so tired sat. night, going out is the last thing you want to do. beginning to want vball season to end. there's just way too much drama - not enough good to outweigh the bad... dead weight, next year should be better (i hope). not really sure what else to say. hopefully i'm not crutched for too long... it pisses me off so much that i cant play! goddddd. anyways, until next time... hasta la vista, baby.

code plaid...

Fri, 21 Jan 2005 04:20:11 GMT

it's been too long my friend... these past two weeks have sucked monstrous balls. so last week we had three games... dcd, nw, & harper woods. we went to 5 games at every single match... only to lose. it was the LONGEST week of my life. at least we won tonight! lol we needed the confidence boost... 4 DAY WEEKEND!!! shibby

so today was the last day of exams! thank god... i couldnt take any more studying (or espresso shots for that matter). they weren't too bad, could have been worse. at least now we have a brief (very very brief) time where we have nothing important to do! we'll see.......... cranbrook's finest = the most riduculous excuse for a fundraiser that i have ever heard of. good luck making more money. when you are all freaking out from the "stress," i may just laugh right back in your face. oh wait i'm already laughing HAHAHAHAHA.

ohh since last time: got the job at lifetime! right now i work mon and wed nights 7-10 if you wanna come visit me. i wanna work during the day on sunday, not sun. night. I WILL MISS DESP HOUSEWIVES AND BOSTON LEGAL. and we don't want that to happen now do we? what else has happened... ohh! finney came back to town - it was so good to see her. I MISS U, FIN. im definitely starting to wonder who im going to have give me my rose/ring in april...hmmmm something to start considering. what else has been goin on... THE FUCKING INAUGURAL "CELEBRATION"!! i only want to blind/deafen myself because of the fact that every normal tv channel is completely consumed by the bastard and his ugly ass drunken daughters and wife. yesterday cowie asked me if i was going to watch... i would rather throw up. i am not usually a hateful person... HOWEVER, i have a genuine hatred (not just dislike from disagreement) for those people. you aren't good people so stop pretending that you are. YOU FUCKING POSERS.

in light of the re-oathening (i love jon stewart and the daily show), it's time for a fabulous passage i read not too long ago: "The GOP National Committee announced today that it was changing the Republican emblem from an elephant to a condom. The committee stated that it feels a condom more clearly reflects the party's true political stance. A condom stands up to inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives one a sense of security and safety while screwing others."

so yeah! :-* ciao bella

forgot to add this onto my last entry... from 2 seconds ago. haha

George W. Bush is out jogging one morning and notices a little boy on the corner with a box. Curious, he runs over to the child and says, "What's in the box, kid?"
The little boy says, "Kittens! They're brand-new kittens."
W. laughs and says, "What kind of kittens are they?"
"Republicans," the child says.
"Oh that's cute," George says, and he runs off.
A couple of days later George is running with his buddy Dick Cheney [the devil reincarnated] and he spies the same boy with his box just ahead.
W. says to Dick, "You gotta check this out," and they both jog over to the boy with the box.
George W. says, "Look in the box, Dick, isn't that cute? Look at those kittens. Hey, kid, tell my friend Dick what kind of kittens they are."
The boy replies, "They are Democrats."
"Whoa!" George W. says. "I came by here the other day and you said they were Republicans. What's up?"
"Well," the kid says, "their eyes are open now."

SOOOOOOO GOOD. i wrote an email to some Democrats in Congress (including Conyers) today actually. it was exciting lol. IM A NERD. maybe ill be receiving emails from crazy liberal teens some day, desiring me to carry out the platform of the left side... :-D would you vote for me???

long time no see, good-lookin ;-)

Sat, 08 Jan 2005 03:39:58 GMT

it has been a reallllllly long time... but for a good reason: computer broke completely out of the blue and had to be sent to tennessee for two weeks. AHH but it came back yesterday! YAY so excited. lol im such a nerd. so since the last post A LOT has actually happened: Christmas (got an iPod MINI - seems to be a theme in my prezzies of last year), the infamous THEFT (ask & i shall tell...), New Years (could have been better, has to do with the THEFT haha), back to school :'( tears for all, SNOW DAY (score!), and yeah... those are the highlights.

so now it's friday night and i am home... lame. wanted to go to the basketball with the team but my parental units thought it would be best to come home after the dinner to get a decent night's rest before the tournament tomorrow. it is going to be SUCH a long day - have to be at school @ 7am (earlier than a school day), earliest we can go home = 3:30. so if we do well, we won't be home until like 8. AHHHH. kill me now. haha. oh well. i should probably get in bed, but toy story and catching up with old friends = too much fun. ciao until next time!!!

oo exciting news!! FINNEY IS COMING TO TOWN NEXT WEEKEND! so fucking excited. i miss her so much. LOVE YA FIN!

in search of a liberal lover

Fri, 24 Dec 2004 05:57:52 GMT

WANTED: My perfect soulmate [ha]... pretty much an insanely liberal guy I can talk politics with. Let me know if you fulfill the requirements!

So last night I went and saw Meet The Fockers with Lauren, Gabe, and Keith... SO GOOD! I loved it. I haven't decided whether or not it was better than the first, but it was pretty close haha. Laur gave me my bday prezzie - loved it. Thanks so much... note the end of this entry [excerpts from the book]. So after the flick we went back to Lauren's and watched the beginning of Napoleon Dynamite. It was my first time seeing it - WOW. I was definitely in the right mood to watch that. haha The best is when Napoleon is pulling Kip into town. HAHAHA I was rolling. Came home... got to bring the movie with me to borrow, finished it this morning. :-D Thanks babe ;-)

I loved the snow today! I'll be sick of it by the 2nd week in January though... I hate the slush. But anyways, I went skating (yes I performed the Dorothy Hamil Camel... I am going to the 2006 Winter Olympiad. Just wait!), sledding, shoveling - it was quite an eventful day. Unfortunately, ColMax called me to go sledding at the old Sorrows sled hill AFTER 3 hours of outside. I was kinda bummed that I was so worn out. Oh well, I'll go next time. I MISS YOU, COL!

I've decided that I love the book Lauren got me so much, that I am going to put little excerpts in my entries everytime [or close to it] I write, so here goes it:

A first-grade teacher is explaining to her class that she is a Republican and how nice it is that a new Republican president has taken office. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Republicans and support George W. Bush.
Everyone in class raises their hands except one little girl.
"Mary," says the teacher with surprise, "why didn't you raise your hand?"
"Because I'm not a Republican," says Mary.
"Well, what are you?" asks the teacher.
"I'm a Democrat and proud of it," replies the little girl.
The teacher cannot believe her ears. "My goodness, Mary, why are you a Democrat?" she asks.
"Well, my momma and papa are Democrats, so I'm a Democrat, too."
"WELL," says the teacher in an annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Democrat. You don't always have to be like your parents. What if your momma was a criminal and your papa was a criminal, too, what would you be then?"
"Then," Mary said, "we'd be Republicans."

so fun times last night: went and saw lemony snicket with dill, j frashe, and my broha. it was actually pretty good. *no jeff, it wasn't bette midler* so after that we decided to hit up the slurpee machines at sleven. yummmy. after suspiciously loitering in the sunglass section of the store, we went outside to THE BEAST [aka mah mini :-)]. with not a thing to do and the night still young, we prank called people. i know what you're thinking. we are extremely lame. it was honestly quite a good laugh - one of the best ive had in a while. we went from being akhmed stuck at metro freezing his ass off [sorry keith haha] to tommy and suzie from the care-a-lot orphanage lmao. i think suzie wins... she didn't have shoes, a home, parents, NOT EVEN A SCARF. i know we are all going to hell. xmas in july festival... 36472 W Grand Blvd... WOW we are losers. "GET BACK IN YOUR CAGE, SUZIE" But the fact that the person we were on the phone with didn't hang up and showed a wee bit of holiday compassion... that's a good person. :-D sorry we are such bad people. why are you friends with us? lmao... we realize we are immature, but you really had to be there. hahahhahaha.

today i went and coffee'd it up with sheila. she definitely sold g-town to me. i REALLLLLLLY wanna go there. let's see if i can keep my poker face. :-/ i think i can move past the workout facility and dining hall... lol

i've been stuck in boredom ruts lately. i have stuff to do, just no motivation to do some of it... but yay for no school!

quick divergence... here's a good desp. housewives quote: "Trust is a fragile thing. Once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom... but once trust is lost it can be impossible to recover. Of course the truth is, you never know who you can trust. Those we're closest to can betray us, and total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned."
how true... who knew such wisdom could be found on our television sets on sunday nights

u love him [me 2]

Sun, 19 Dec 2004 05:30:16 GMT

so laur and i have confessed our love for robert deniro... yeah so what if he's a lil older. he is amazing. can't wait for meet the fockers!! going to be so good. i have to see it the day it comes out.

SNL tonight = so good! "dumbfuckistan" lmao... so true - everyone in a red state IS a moronic bigot and yes they do need to go fuck themselves!...

Sat, 18 Dec 2004 21:50:13 GMT

wow it's been almost a month since i updated last. that would be because of my insanely crazy life... AHHH but guess what! it's break!!!!!!!!!!!! SCORE so much has happened since thanksgiving break! got my license! good times in my mini. only got in trouble for parking like twice-ish! haven't gotten in an accident yet! but i think i can be proud of that if i make it at least a yr without one... vball season has gone into full swing (no pun intended) - team was chosen. not too too shabby. there are obviously some ppl that bother me but it's ott most of all. so yesterday ott got us xmas prezzies - "grab bags" as he called them even though we didn't have to grab anything (?) mine had sox and a cute hot cocoa mug. not bad. at least we all have matching sox now haha. nothing is happening as far as the sweats ordering goes - i told them so. no one ever listens to me though and then they end up fucked. not my problem....................... what else has happened... oh the really bad dance performance. that's right. that was pry one of the most embarrassing evenings of my life. it sucked. there really are people in our class that should not be anywhere near a stage and why they are not being told that - im not really sure. and gina is the most annoying part of it all. too much to write in that dept. our d club presidents don't do shit. amanda and i are carrying the club LITERALLY. i'm pretty sure that picking up a 2 liter of pop once a month doesn't cover your job. but what do i know ... OOO i have a new like ... i think everyone that i'm semi-close with knows. let's see where that goes... :-) what else...? ummm i got an A on an anthonio paper... that's different. she doesn't give A's so i was excited! lol yay for being lame. talk about loserheads... saw bridget jones 2 last night - SO GOOD! i recommend it to all! then had a really RANDOM night with aww damn and j frashe. weird. but thank god for lenny kravitz - so hot.

i love xmas cookies - baked all day today! sugar cookies, chocolate chip, pb blossoms (my fav)... soo good. so tonight im goin to the bnl home for the holidays show - quite excited. despite how many times i've seen them, they never seem to get old. just can't figure out what to wear... maybe my festive holiday sweater that lights up and sings as the bells on the sleeve jingle... JUST KIDDING. would you still talk to me if i wore that? geeze whiz...

currently watchin the ncaa vball nat'l championship... GO CARDINALS!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!

Fri, 26 Nov 2004 02:35:18 GMT

just wanted to announce that I LOVE BIRTHDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so today was just like any other day... JUST KIDDING! actually it was one of the [or THE best] greatest days of my life. woke up, got to open one prezzie b4 we went to my grandparents... opened ELF on dvd [it was on my list!] & a desk calendar with fun stuff for every day of the year. i was happy with these, but im not gonna lie. i was a lil discouraged when i didn't wake up to an automobile in our driveway, but i thought possibly because it is thanksgiving, it wouldnt be here until tomorrow... oh well. so we went over to my grandparents... and there happen to be no pops in the fridge. so my grandpa sends me out to their [detatched] garage. im standing out their freezing my ass off, coat's inside, bc it is taking forever for the garage door to open. then as it begins to slowly open... my entire family is filing out of the house... cameras in hand. i saw the bonnet [the hood in europe] and i could do nothing but cry. TEARS OF JOY of course. let's just say i was bawling... lol if u don't believe me, we've got pics to prove it! so when i could finally bring myself to jump into the car [ha] i opened the rest of my presents. i got the chanel sunglasses i wanted [they match my car!!] and the keys to my automobile. :-D i know i am so incredibly spoiled... and so lucky to have all that i have. that's what i'm thankful for. a family that is willing to do anything for me. when i say anything, i mean ANYTHING. there are many people who can't say that, and i appreciate that i am truly able to.

so yeah... sidetracked! lol. my fam couldnt peel me out of my car. i tooled around all day basically... had to come inside for dinner tho. lol. I LOVE IT. it is such a good car for me! i am so fucking happy. BUT sec of state is closed tomorrow and all weekend... i'm attempting to get my mom to let me skip some school on monday so i can get my license! she said i could pry go during my free hours [5&6] and if i have to, miss a lil of 7th. sry twedt lol. oh well....................... well i'm not really sure what else to say. lol the only thing i can really think about is the car baby. :-D it is so hot. lol.... peace out

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww on mtv, the euro music awards are in the eternal city - my beloved ROMA. i want to go back SO BADLY. i miss it so much. rumor has it though that we're goin there for SB tho!... much love

Thu, 25 Nov 2004 04:19:40 GMT

babyzgtbck: ahh twin!
cm1622: i love it when we do the same thing

flurries of fun

Thu, 25 Nov 2004 04:09:48 GMT

bday = 1.5 ish hours away! beyond excited... so i passed my road test yesterday - YAY. the lady was kind of a bitch but whatever! so i should be able to get my license on friday... or saturday depending on lines, time, and such...!

the weather is out of control. i love to watch the flurries fall [alliteration what what!] but the icky slush on the ground... and the ice pelting at the window? completely unnecessary! the snow is gorgeous but it is so fucking cold. i don't know how im going to deal when it gets even colder. now it's only like 30 out. i cannot wait for when it's like 10 degrees out [sarcasm anyone?]! put up our xmas tree today & jammed to xmas music today... good times. mi madre likes it to be up by thanksgiving. she fell into a mild depression last year cuz we were away for thanksgiving and she couldnt put it up lol. o well the world is a better place when my mother is content :-D.

WARNING! What you are about to experience is not for the eyes of small children. Parental discretion is advised:

Have you seen this sponge? Police are looking for a a blow-up figure of SpongeBob SquarePants swiped from a Minnesota Burger King. They've found a ransom note which starts off: "We have SpongeBob." It then demands, "Give us ten Crabby Patties, fries and milkshakes." The ransom note is signed by SpongeBob's nemesis, Plankton. A postscript reads: "Patrick is next," referring to the Bermuda shorts-wearing starfish that serves as SpongeBob's sidekick.

At a southeastern Utah Burger King, vandals made off with a 10-foot-tall SpongeBob balloon.
Employees are handing out "Missing" fliers with a full description of the popular cartoon figure — featured in a new movie...

so yeah jeff, my brother, and i all decided that we are in fact going to kidnap the SBSP up at the BK on grand river. so pumped... we already have our costumes chosen. jeff = mighty mouse, me = wonder woman, nick = catman? who knows. batman but without a b, plus a c... who knows. we just have to work out minor details [get away vehicle, housing for the hostage, etc., etc...]. thank god for munching buddies! <3 u j frashe!

not sure how much sleep ill be getting tonight... too much excitement inside!! i wish i knew what i was getting for my bday... i <3 prezzies! next time i write, i will have turned 1-6

hopefully pitless

Tue, 23 Nov 2004 05:08:59 GMT

so i went bowling with some of the coolest people i know this evening: dill, j frashe, mccarthy, smith, aj, and mi hermano [baby-sitter of the month award]. doesn't get much more fun than that. I SUCK AT BOWLING. it is the saddest thing in the world to watch. so depressing... i dont think i passed 50. disgraceful... haha. too bad i convinced suicidal joey [jewelry class] that i was a pro! o wow... aj and mike were SO lost. they ended up in livonia? and then back at my house... all the while aiming for novi. U WERE CLOSE, GUYS. then we really wanted to hit up coldstones for some "a la pie a la coldstone [a la jeff]". but it closed at 9 :'( not gonna lie, i was really upset. haha - so we went to buffalo wild wings instead... "is your bbq sauce really bbq-y?" that waitress thought we were idiots... THANKS. mike looked like the biggest sketch in the world. she kept giving him the greatest looks haha. the smiley fries - so good.

im not sure what to do with u... i hear voices saying "do it, do it" while there are others saying "BAD IDEA" and no i'm not crazy, hearing voices in my head. u know what i mean. wow so overwhelmed with extreme emotion [good and bad]. we'll let nature run its course... if it happens, it happens. if it doesn't, it doesn't. GO WITH THE FLOW.

.................life is just a bowl of cherries.................

...excited like whoa...

Mon, 22 Nov 2004 18:22:03 GMT

i am so fucking excited... last night i was doing some random search on google for who knows what, and this order tracking form came up. do u know what that form was for? a mini cooper convertible s to be delivered on wed!!!!!!!!! in astro black, heated seats included! the car i wanted! u honestly have no idea how excited i am... i don't know if i have ever been this excited - this is huge. but i feel kinda badly about it cuz i know and my parents wanted it to be a surprise... well im assuming since they didn't tell me. WOW. i was bouncing off the walls last night when i found out. so that is my amazing news!

this morning i woke up super early [9ish ha] and had a sudden urge to be really productive. not really sure why, but i got up, cleaned my room, organized all of my clothes, put away the summer clothes, helped with xmas stuff, did dishes! my mom wanted to know what happened to her daughter. :-D she thought that i wanted something... can't a person just do something nice for others?? guess not... haha. i started reading my seminar book too... ahh it's close to 500 pages and i MUST get a majority of it done b4 we go back to school. im not really sure what got into me this morning...! but it's not a bad thing! anyways... gotta go finish some stuff. love ya much!

Mon, 22 Nov 2004 03:47:24 GMT

so since fri night: practiced parking and shit on sat. morn... cher concert sat night [if i could turn back time... so good! - the village people opened!!] , then i went to laur's house and chilled there with mol, simone, brandon, and of course lauren! yay for <3 actually! slept over, came home this morn, started getting out xmas stuff - i know it seems way early! but it's really not...! i wonder if lauren got out the chanukah decorations? :-D watched desp housewives tonight! so good... rex is the biggest jackass in the entire world. and i was definitely not expecting carlos' mother to get hit by the car! i wish it was on more than once a week... they say that one of the housewives is gonna be gone forever after next week and i'm thinkin it's gonna be nicolette sheridan's character. i could be way off, but i have my reasoning ;-)

omg so the "malice at the palace" = out of control. im pissed bc now detroit is going to get the bad rep... not the 7 footer in the stands, throwing punches, as he is being fucking paid to entertain the people he is fighting with. we are going to be known as the riotous city full of angry people who cannot control themselves in public. ben was NOT the provoker fri night. he stopped after shoving artest ONCE. it was when artest rushed the crowd and started making a complete ass of himself - i mean, who does that? that was what crossed the line. i hope the prosecutors burn his ass - god. and how his "people" sheltered and covered him as they went back to the locker room - wtf?! the man is being paid millions to perform, not beat up the crowd. i don't understand. WOW.........................

so in like an hr and a half it's gonna be 3 more days until my birthday. i really don't know if i can handle this - so excited!

i <3 u

LONGEST WEEK EVER

Sat, 20 Nov 2004 02:56:44 GMT

Haven't written in a week... not without reason of course. This week had to be BY FAR the longest week of my ENTIRE life. I couldn't do another day. There was so much crap going on! Not all bad... just a lot. On Monday Mere visited with me! YAY i love my Meredyke. We had a good time [hope she did too haha] even if that tall bitch was really rude to us. Mon. was the first real night of vball too. There is wayyyy too much drama surrounding volleyball. It is completely unnecessary. Let's just say I am about ready to stick a fork into a certain someone's eyes. :-D I swear... I'm not hostile. So with drama everyday this week [the ever-changing list of Sarah's haha] I don't think it could have gotten more interesting. There is honestly too much for me to type... Back to the quick recap! Tues. had a rather long day, practice, and came home to pass out at approx. 8:30 pm... it's so sad and pathetic. Wed. went to the Sportsmanship Summit in Warren. Saw Paige! and Erin... yay Ladywood. lol OMG there was this one school there... Richmond?... and all of the kids from there = so stoned. Funniest thing in the world. The one had the hottest shiny shirt I have ever seen. It wasn't quite satin, not quite silk; but if I wanted to, I bet he would let me do my make-up in the reflection of the beautiful shirt. I loved it. Then we had to come up these slogans for sportsmanship... and the kids from Richmond voted for the stupidest one there... "Sportsmanship: It's like the flu, it's contagious." Who says that?!?! Honestly. Then they were talking about a diff. slogan: "Sportsmanship, Just like a drug, get addicted." And they LOVED that one. Hmm I wonder why... Anyways - then I had practice, came home to write my English paper on Sir Gawain... Was up until 1:45ish. Mind you, I had to wake up at 5:30. I was not a happy camper on Thursday morning. We had a chem test on Thurs that I didn't have time to open up the book and study for. I pry failed. Hopefully Twedt will be generous with points... Turned in Eng paper... RELIEF. All of my major junk was done, all I had to do was make it thru Friday and I would be home free, ready for break. Made it thru Friday [clearly since I'm writing right now], we did nothing all day. SO POINTLESS. Did not see the point in even coming today. Watched Mr. Bean in Eng today. I HATE IT. It is the stupidest shit I have ever seen. How do people find that funny? 3 Stooges are better than Bean... Got comments and grades in the mail - overall pretty good, but Cowie is the biggest asshole in the entire world. He writes the shittiest comments. What the fuck ever. I suppose I'll have to "change my ways." Vball practice was anything but full turnout. Everyone left early for vaca... jealous. But I'm kinda glad we aren't going away for break this year. I don't even feel like going anywhere... Just to be able to sit at home for a week, and do absolutely nothing. EXCEPT PASS MY ROAD TEST ON TUES! So pumped. Let's hope I pass it. I'm not that worried cuz I'm going out to practice parallel parking this weekend to get me ready. All and all it should be a good time. 5 more days until my bday [& thanksgiving]! You have no idea how excited I am. Beyond words. Sec of state is gonna be closed on Thurs... but Fri morn, first thing, I'm there. For all of you who have been driving me around for the last who knows how long, I thank you. It sucks to be so young, but it would have only been a million times worse if I didn't have you guys there to help out in my transportation. Love you all!!! Came home from vball tonight exhausted so no plans here. So now I'm watchin the Wiz of Oz. Great movie. This is the way to be. Well peace out, I'm sure with no school over the next 9 days :-D I'll be able to update a lil more often.

it's my broha's bday! holy shit - he is 11 years old. THAT = unreal. he's so old. i still think he's like 5 [despite the fact that he acts as though he is 35]. mature beyond his years... why can't all guys be so mature? most are still laughing at farts and stupid potty jokes [GROW UP]. lol enough about boys and their issues.

so yesterday was my last day of community service... tear :'(. it was so sad - all of the kids were upset [pry a lil less so than me]. they are all so cute. their lives are already SO unstable... you would think us leaving, after helping them out for over a month, would only take away from the already lacking stability. some of the things that go on in those kids' lives i cannot even begin to imagine... one little girl cries everytime her daddy comes to pick her up. she hates him... it is the saddest thing in the world. some have only one parent [don't know the other], some depressing... i really take all that i have for granted. a feeling of selfishness takes me over every time i walk away from the building. i wish there was something more i could do to make their lives better. depressing until yesterday, i had no idea that bryan was a boy. i understand it's a boy's name, but i mean c'mon: time's are a changin! take a glance at my name. but bryan looks like a girl. i wasnt sure if there was a hormonal imbalance or what... but he just has the features of a little girl. he is such a gorgeous little boy tho... and kedesia said that people put the wrong gender on him all of the time. how would u like to go thru life... with a mistaken sex? unless ur into that sort of thing, then go with it and run.

OMG the scott peterson verdict is finally in - thank god. i couldn't take it any more. besides politics, my mother's obsession = court tv. the only thing she can watch since the election... it is seriously the only thing she talks about. the sick fuck was found guilty. there was no way he was innocent. he is the guiltiest person in the world - or just EXTREMELY unlucky. i hope that once sentencing is done, he rots on death row. what he did is disgusting and i hope that cali does not execute him [they haven't used capital punishment in 30 some-odd years]. it's giving him the easy way out. he needs to sit, reflect, and realize what a terrible person he truly is. who kills their pregnant wife and unborn son????????????? and can still manage to live with themselves? he is psychotic. i don't understand the mentality. his mother ran from the court room today before the verdict was announced bc she wasn't able to hear the final result... WOMAN - UR SON IS FUCKED UP BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR REPUGNANT HUSBAND WERE NEVER THERE FOR HIM. why don't parental figures realize this? the upbringing does change the end result. this world and the screw-ups within........................... why? omg if he was found innocent - where exactly would he live? he would be attacked and verbally [if not physically] assaulted no matter where he went; 99% of the country believed he was guilty. AHHHHHHH enough about the shit of the world.

wow i haven't updated since sunday. since then: mon = DAY OFF i went to lunch with mummy and gram, saw i <3 huckabees (so good!!!!! i loved it); tues = tests, school fun, comm serv, homework fun; wed = school, hw, wrote a semi-kick ass history paper [if only]; thurs = turned in my ass kickin paper, classes, comm serv, dance club gathering [great turnout!! next one can only be better], went to OC it up at krisTAH benz casa, field trip to wal-mart, partied with k and aj [jazz cams! & baseball], made drunk calls - sorry about that peeps, passed out; today = woke up super early [7:10] so i could shower - i was way dirty, annoyingly woke up kris and aj... sorry girls, went to a college counseling thingamabobber [i<3chess club VPs], lunch, delivered stuff to OLS for my broha's bday bash, came home, & HERE I BEEEE.

I <3 LONG WEEKENDS! so tomorrow i have to go and work at giftorama [coat & bag check with the hotness aka dance club] who knows what's goin down after that. i really wish that i could go to the anti-war protest with LG. i'll be there in spirit. monday mere is visiting with me! so excited. i miss my old 113... i never see them anymore :'( it's not the same. at least we've kept in touch. ohh and the official start of vball = monday. i just wish i could choose the team. we would all be much happier [everyone's happy when charly's happy!!!!]. well i must be goin - gotta get ready for dindin with fam for nick's day. love you

desperate housewives

Mon, 08 Nov 2004 03:31:17 GMT

i officially love sunday nights! well at least the tv on sundays... desperate housewives is my favorite show now that i no longer have friends and sex and the city to fall back on. john the gardener = SO HOT. it's addicting - i want to know why zach has gone crazy and why mary-alice killed herself. i want to know rex's secret. i want to know WHO IS DANA? when zach first said dana, i thought it could be a sister. the blanket at the end of the episode possibly validates that... how pathetic am i? lol oh well, it gets me through.

i bought the most amazing hat last night. i don't even know how to describe it. i actually got a lot of new stuff ;) shopping is so much fun. new skirt, sweater, boots, hat. O and i found a FABULOUS pair of sunglasses and i am pretty confident that i will return tomorrow to pick that hotness up. they are so great. you can NEVER have too many pairs of sunglasses, shoes, handbags.

IN SUCH A GOOD MOOD! extremely excited for my bday because now i'm guaranteed a car! my Gpa said today i could take his explorer... it's kinda old school, but it's in pretty good shape [& it runs!] HOWEVER i am still holdin out for a new car; we'll see how that goes...

tomorrow im goin to see I <3 HUCKABEES with mi madre. should be a good time. it really does not get much hotter than jude law. he is in wayyyyyyy too many movies this yr tho: sky captain, huckabees, alfie... im sure the list goes on.............j_u_d_e_l_a_w_+_c_h_a_r_l_y_=_h_o_t_b_a_b_i_e_s. that's all ive got to say on that. a girl's gotta have dreams.

so yesterday we got our new issue of TIME MAG in the mail. guess who's face was on the cover? g dubb. im so sick of seeing his fucking face everytime i turn on the tv. i see his "mandated" self and i have to change the channel. i can't take it... thank god my mom sent the issue back to TIME. it was completely justified. the part of the election outcome that pisses me off the most is that the rest of the world believes that all of the US supports him, while in fact, half of the country doesn't. what we need is a flaming left winger to win in 2008. ive had enough of the democrats in the center on the issues. you are either liberal or you aren't - make up your mind. do not try to placate to the conservatives. intead, fight for what you were sent to fight for. you ran for office on the D ticket, so serve your country on it as well. we must create new democrats and get the evangelicals out of office. when did they become the majority?? and i used to think [last week] that if kerry lost this one, hillary could win in 08 now i don't believe that. people don't realize that this has put the women's rights movement back 20 years, the civil rights movement back 10. and after the disheartening news on the third, i wanted nothing more than to leave the country because i simply do not want to be associated with this / a part of it. i've come to realize, however, that we have to stay. we cannot allow republicans to deny our freedom and force us out. instead we must stand up for our core beliefs and give our base the voice they deserve. and if people can't take it, they need to leave.

now that i have dismounted my soap-box, HAVE A PLEASANT EVENING! lol

so much to do, so little time

Sat, 06 Nov 2004 18:47:52 GMT

Watchin It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World! Such a good movie. SYLVESTER! It just flew right out there. HA :-D Everyone should see it - cult classic!

Home from vball... it was fun this morning and now we don't have it again until the 15th. Then real practice/try-outs start. YAY lol. Ott is such a joke. What a fool. I guess he asked my dad this morning to help out [assistant coach] and by the end of practice he was quoting my dad everyother sentence. My dad was talking about mechanics... Ott chimes in and says "IT'S ALL MECHANICAL!" Thank you, Coach. And it's not like he uses just the idea my dad puts out there... uses it word for word. OH WELL maybe my dad can become a ventriliquist... says somethin that eventually comes out of Ott's mouth. HA. There were NO seniors there this morning. Not a huge turn-out for a "mandatory" practice. Renee is in St. Thomas [LUCKY BITCH] I am so jealous. SO while she is down basking in the sun on the sand, I'm here... wondering where I put my winter gloves and hats. At least we have a three-day weekend! Then a three-day school week! And then another three-day weekend! I love having time off. OO and it's almost Thanksgiving... NOV 25TH. Guess what happens THAT day................ sixteen candles! So excited!...

Who knows what I'm doing this weekend. I should probably start my Cowie paper and Eng paper [both due this week :-/]. Plus I have a math and chem test on tues., a latin test [date yet to be determined]. So in other words... TOO MUCH lol. I really need to start taking vitamins again because I have been so tired lately [all of the time] and it's only going to get worse once vball season is in full swing.

Ahh... and the upcoming dance performance. How in the hell are we supposed to finish two dances that we don't know in 2 weeks? Thanksgiving break is just kinda screwin all that up. Maybe we should do less turbo-pilates (gyrotonics?) and more choreography... O and how about choreography that is new and fresh [stuff that was used 5 yrs ago and in Miami does not = creative] "Spend a weekend in Miami and you'll know what I'm talkin about..." Thanks, Gina. lol... So much to do so little time.

FIRST ENTRY

Sat, 06 Nov 2004 06:13:27 GMT

This is a first: I was kinda bored... HA. Well I had a Xanga, that didn't work out extremely well. We'll see if I stick with this journal. I have to say I was motivated by Lauren to start my own. THANK YA LAUR! I <3 crazy liberals!

This week was so incredibly long. You've heard of the concept of eternity... well that was this week. It was just draining and stressful [anxiety attack causing :-/]. What are ya gonna do? You are always going to have hell weeks; they are what make you stronger and able to appreciate the easier times. HA This is me being philosophical @ 1am. ba da ba ba ba... I'M LOVIN IT. I am so excited... I am now a member of Michael Moore's mailing list! MM is hot! Well at least what he stands for is. I'm just happy that I'm not the only "EXTREME RADICAL" that is doubting [if that's what we are gonna call it] the administration. If anyone doesn't believe me, look at Laur's LJ. Going to bed because I have vballin in the morn! :-D YAY FOR OTT... how is it possible that I am sick of his shit when the season has barely started?! It'll be a long winter.

I LOVE YOU ALL!
