July 14th, 2009
I'm on a role... on to the next blog, i doubt I will finish this though because i'm leaving pretty soon to go to the city. We're spending the night there. Ok so the TAKE ACTION TOUR. March 19, 2009. Featuring Anarbor, Every Avenue, Meg & Dia, Breathe Carolina, and Cute is What We Aim For. (Tina just took a picture of me and I saw how disgusting I looked so now I'm going to jump in the shower) 30 minutes later and I am back. All refreshed. I spent like 10 of those minutes squeezing into my extreme skinnies. I love them. What a girl (or guy) has got to do to get into tight pants. Anyway. I took the bus to juice's after school, and we hung out there until we left. ANARBOR: First one up. A relatively new band, they reminded me so much of a teenage band. They weren't bad nor were they anythng exceptional. The one guy in front of us (mike?) had a foot tattoo, which for some reason I really liked, and later made me go on a spur of googling foot tattoos and doodling on my feet, but anyway he referred to us as if we were in Sacramento. Not just once but TWICE. After being corrected by Slade too. Slade being the lead singer. They had a new album out and for some reason I remember they played the brightest green and they green strobe lights were on like the whole time they played. The fillmore, which is where they played, really makes use of their strobe lights and fog machine, but that's another thing. EVERY AVENUE: Was next. They played a pretty good show. It seemed a little bit long though, maybe that's just my memory failing me. I like every avenue a lot, but I was just so excited for breathe carolina that I was kind of like c'mon finish up. At least I think I was, well I think i'm getting confused with meg & dia. I must be. I take all that back I remember now. Every Avenue wasn't getting too much love from the audience, more then Anarbor, but for the catchiness of their songs I really wanted to have fun and the crowd to be moving. Amethyst was next to me and we were singing along. Jessica was somewhere lost. Someone always gets seperated. It was just Amethyst, Jessica, and me. MEG & DIA: I don't know who was in charge of the fog machine, but it was out of control. I could barely see, and the pictures turned out terrible because of all the fog. We weren't permitted to use flash, the fillmore can be strange like that. The guards were surprisingly strict about it, usually they don't even care, but it was insane. They literally pounded the girl in front of me for using flash. the guy hit her on the head! Jeez intense. I was able to use it a few times, but not much. Meg & Dia were fun to watch at first, I was really anxious though. They played pretty much all new songs except for Roses and Monster. So it got a little slow. The music sounded good though, and it made me look forward to their new album, which i grew to enjoy a lot. BREATHE CAROLINA: Amazing, unforgettable, incredible. It was a great performance.

Current Music: Let The Right One In - Aiden
I am avoiding studying for finals to the point of me catching up on my show journal. I'm a little behind in it...three shows behind to be exact. Since so much time has passed the accuracy is pretty low, and i won't be able to have the same emotion or enthusiasm i might have had if this was written closer to the date...even with the same month as the show. Well here it is. Automatic Loveletter - March 07, 2009 The first show of the year (for me), and at bottom of the hill, FAMOUS BOTTOM OF THE HILL. It was my first time going there, and though I knew it was small I didn't nearly expect the venue to be THAT small. It was a pretty rad little place. They had kegs as bar stools, I ended up sitting on one for awhile, and I really don't think they're meant for sitting up because my ass really started to hurt. Originally the show was supposed to consist of A Cursive Memory, Tickle Me PInk, and Automatic Loveletter. Tickle Me Pink's lead got sick though and had to return home - I actually really like them and was deeply saddened by this. A cursive memory i've already seen and am not a big fan of, but still was expecting to see them, and to my surprise when we reached the venue there was a sign on the door stating that they would not play that night (later that night thanks to Juju we found out they had a video shoot or something related to that to do). This was also Automatic Loveletter's first headlining tour - Almost Have A Tour Bus Tour. I got an awesome t-shirt. Automatic Loveletter was not set to play until 10:30 pm and we so we sat on the left side of the stage, behind maybe what was equivelant to 2-3 rows of people. We were right next to the speaker, and ended up using it as a table for our sweaters and stuffffff. (The show began at 8) and so we had a lot of time to spare until 10:30. This reminds me that I should mention the whole gathering was in celebration of Jessica's Sweet Sixteen. The Big 1-6! The whole gang was there - Juice (bday girl), ameth...., Dulce, Ly, and me! A rare thing to get us all together. Especially now it seems because Amethyst moved away. (woah i typed out that crazy name of her's). So we sat around looked at pictures - dulce had a video of the beautiful house (my uncle's talked about in an earlier blog) and she showed everyone. She also had pictures of the fall out boy game. They were pretty hilarious - i have yet to play the game. I wonder if you still can.... and we just talked and wasted time. Caught up with one another. Created Hoody pillows and checked out my enthralling leggings. That was the most personal show I have ever been too, and possibly the most personal I will ever go too. It was not a crowded room, and we were up close. It was one band playing, and it was just amazing. Once they had started playing the time passed so quickly, they did do an encore song. A song that I had been dying to here - Unhearted. I took a video with my one minute allowance camera but it doesn't have the best quality and you hear mostly the crowd's voices, which is definitley not pretty. To Be Continued... Now being continued on July 14th, 2009 I am continuing this now because I've just got returned from my Aruba trip and I really want to write about everything I've done there in as much detail as possible so that I am able to remember it for years to come. It's not like I'll forget it's just i won't remember the details. I'm also not in the mood of going out of order. If i skip something it'll just be hectic so here it goes. After the encore was over we went outside and met the whole band. First it was just the guys in the band. We had a group picture and one of them - was petting me. A little bit of an awkward moment. We chatted a bit, about what I'm not really sure anymore and then we waited to meet Juju. Oh i just had this flashback where we gave them the cds and shirts to sign and I had a sharpie and one older man like 40 commented on how prepared we were with that. Juliet or Juju, which is also the name Amethyst has named her kitty, greeted us. She complimented Amethyst's pleather jacket, and amethyst gave her a bracelet. The two also talked about some show they liked. Then we chatted. Somebody - juice?- mentioned that my leg was broken, well injured, and she commented on my braveness and then there was an awkward hug moment. well awkward for me because every hug is awkward, but this one surprising. she just wrapped her arms around my neck.   Then we went to Jessica's. At Jessica's we blew up tons and tons of balloons, and they had drawings and we watched The House bunny. Then I think we went to sleep We woke up and ate tons of waffles. I skipped church class. We watched An American Crime and some movie about funeral - i didn't get to finish watching this but it was good so i should find out the title. I'll have to ask amethyst. the movie source.

Current Mood: lonely
Current Music: Entertainment - Rise Against
I hate feeling lonely. Stupid anchor is just pulling me down. I need to turn on some music. Hello Rise Against. Distract myself. Actually that's why I'm doing this. Otherwise i could browse online stores, yahoo answers, etc. But I'm not in the right frame of mind. This might be more productive. probably not. Authors are pretty amazing. They convey the characters feelings in a way that you can understand. I don't think I could do that. Well this week was mid-winter break. For the first part I went up to my Uncle's amazing house. Went with my friend Dulce. It was so cold up there! But beautiful. We left friday evening. Yay a five hour drive. We slept in the master bedroom (it's not the nicest - my mo mot dibs on that one) Tina slept on the floor...Okay i really do not feel like writing about this step by step. I don't believe my memory will serves me that well nor do i think that my fingers will. So the weekend was full of farts (aka Tina) we actually convinced her to do it into the fire. I missed it though but apparently the fire grew bigger. Tina is so unhygenic it's nuts. We also 'hiked' by car. We went around the tiny tiny town. 300 people. People there are so friendly. It's strange. Eddie in the supermarket. The girl in the restaurant. Old man in the casino. The police in the casino. It's just too creepy. Then we also went to some areas where it was like the setting of a horror movie. For a while we thought were in Oregon. Dulce saw a confederation flag on some creepy bar, and man elks have white butts. Oh not to mention I was attacked by the ocean. I was just standing their, all unsuspecting and this wave comes out of no where! I got soaked up to the knees. Must I mention how amazingly cold it was! It was. So i walked around barefoot. My boots would not dry it was crazy. Dulce is also a very scary person to be with at night. Oh god. Overall it was fun, the ride back was a bit hectic though. Dulce got sick. Tina got sick the day after. Healthy me. So that was that trip basically. Then my mom and I went to the snow! I was skiing in the same area as shaun white and a bunch of other super famous skiier/snowboarders. Amazing. Then we went home. Now I'm here. Oh I also have a new sister. I don't know if i ever mentioned it here. I hope I can go see her over spring break. It was so weird when i found out. I was in the middle of stepping out of the shower when the electricity shut off and my phone rang...to receive the news. I think i feel a little less lonely. Maybe motivated to go to the next stage. Do my homework? Nah. Waste time on the internet. Then fall asleep to gilmore girls. That sounds about right. Can't wait for March. It should be an awesome month. Oh I should mention a little about today. I woke up. Broke my mirror. 7 years of bad luck. Sat under a ladder...I don't even know how much bad luck that brings. But I figure they contradict each other and it's all good in the end. I mean the only reason for the bad luck is your belief that the bad luck will happen - placebo effect. Anyway 7 years from now if I look back and just remember the moment when I broke my mirror (no not with my face haha) I can then blame it. But hey pain only makes you stronger, that is if you can survive. ooooh. Suffering makes the good moments grrreeeat. That definitley belongs in a frosted flakes commercial. What ever happened to dear old tony the tiger. Never see him in tv. They either don't have enough money to afford the luxury of commericals or maybe they're doing so well they don't need it. In this economy who is actually doing all that great? Oh yeah about 90% of the population will barely notice. Ugh... At the end of this year the unemployment rate may reach 9%. Scary. Especially with the chaos in my school.

Current Mood:  mellow
Current Music: Your biggest fan - neverhsoutnever!
The whole waiting thing is overrated and in the end it was just a waste of time. Oh well I tried. I know i just wrote an amazingly long blog but I started thinking about today and I'm in the writing element now (and that's rare) i realize there are a lot of other things I could do. For example I have a math quiz tomorrow and an unfinished english project due friday. I could/should be working on that but I'm not. I should be getting brownie points from this thing. So I was reflecting on the day and I as just thinking about how i'm kind of an average unaverage american teenager. But aside from that drugs and stuff. I've never been asked to take stuff but if I wanted too it wouldn't be very hard. If I was asked I am confident in myself to say no. I mean I am curious about it, but I don't feel like drugs need to be a part of my life. Maybe when I'm 85 ..if i make it to that age and i'm on the verge of life ending I will turn to drugs so I can experience a different way of life. See things a little differently. Expand my horizon (bring me the horizon haha). Anyway aside from that this morning in psychology we were down in the library working on this research project. My group is doing the correlation between drugs and sports. A lot of stuff says no but are group was looking for things that say sports do influence people to do drugs. Not just performance enhancement ones but others. The girl in my group was saying how she would never have gotten in to the stuff if it wasn't for her team and their influece and it opened my eyes a little because i realized how true it was. So many athletes getting high and it's a new kind of pressure. I just found that very interesting. I started thinking about it and it's actually pretty true. So I was supposed to be researching this abut i only found this one thing and we had library time but i got like no work done because i got distracted by conversation. My other partner kept talking about weed and stuff as if i had more of a clue about it. I don't know i guess people just assume I do stuff. I'm not sure if he was joking or not. I can never tell. I know charly jokes about it but not sure about this guy. I don't know the whole thing was interesting though and i don't mind talking about it or anything i just find it amazing how many people are potheads. We also talked about the recession and rea monsters this cartoon was assumed to be done while someone was high but c'mon just look at it. haha you can only assume. A lot of amazing work has been done while under the influence: beatles, aldous huxley, quasi, alice in wonderland, etc. This is all an open topic i guess. I need to go do stuff now.
Current Mood: indifferent
Current Music: Old ciwwaffle hits: risque
Just kind of relaxing - waiting and decided to write a blog while I wait. Just as a note to self: Need to read book The Dumbest Generation Mr. Wanlin was talking about it in History and it just seems kind of eye opening about the World we live in and are morals and priorities. Maybe if I remember to read it i could write a bit of my opinion about the book. I'm not really sure what to write about it. I'm waiting for an idea to just pop in my mind. Man I should have read the blog prompt. haha. It's the year of the ox... I'm excitied for March - 2 shows to go to! You know I never wrote about my sweet sixteen and I suppose that's a big birthday so I can give a little summary. but when something has happened so long ago you lose enthusiasm over it and it's more difficult to write about it - especially enthusiastically. Plus I'm kind of in an indifferent mood right now - though I am listening to ciwwaf oldies haha. (in prepartion for the show) Ok it was Decemeber 14. Sleepover. Stayed in Marriott in San Francisco. Attendees: Amethyst, Jessica, Dulce, Ly, Chong iin, Dijnee, and me. We arrived in the city in the afternoon and set out to Westfield almost right away. Chong iin brough delicious brownies - which she claimed she baked (lies her mom so did it! - thank god too lol) and we hit up a bunch of stores. There was like a santa convention in the mall or something. There were santas everywhere! It was crazy. They we're all getting wasted though. Juice and I took a picture with one. (they weren't just in the mall - everywhere!) so we shopped for awhile and then we were about dying with hunger and so after a log debate we hit up Mel's Drive-Thru. I had French Toast (Yum! i love breakfast 24/7). Mel's was seriously awesome. They gave me a free t-shirt (although it was KIND OF huge) and a blue balloon and very chocolatey cake! Btw there was Santa's in mel's. haha. Oh and just had a momentary flashback to a great ice breaker from Dulce. It won't sound as good written down though. Dulce was in a bar...or something like that and she overheard this other group of people. SOmeone was asking the people if they wanted to go to Ben and jerry's and after the people left they were like who's Benn and Jerry! (haha! it's an ice cream place just in case you're that out of it). I remember i had to go bathroom and i stood there for like 10 minutes not realizing that i needed a key. and when dulce went we took her cameras and took a bunch of extremely random pictures - she was supposed to look back a later time and be like woah where did these come from but sadly we got caught. After mel's we wandered up that main street with forever 21, h and m ( i blanked on the street name) and it was about 10 pm so a lot of stores we're closing but we did manage to get into urban and forever 21. It was pretty cold and amethyst was freaking out about get a taxi back to the hotel. We went up to union square were there was the ice skating rink. Ly and I sang christmas carols of christmas wrapping by the waitresses (lobe that song). We never made it ice skating. We tried or a taxi for a while but ended up walking back. That night i'm not sure who possesed us. But there was sad attempts of hallway gymnastics lol. I got a couple videos. They're still on my phone at the moment but I will upload and post them here. And there was a few moments of almost sleep. Music was on the whole night. Jausting on beds. And being paranoid about the hobos outside. I swear are eyes were glued to the window for like 2 hrs (3 am to 5am) looking at the other office and coming up with creepy tales and identifying objects. Apparently my mom said we were very loud since she heard us all night long. we were in the room next to her. Oh i have to mention just to be annoyed at him and i know this will sounds really bratty but her bf was there and i didn't get a birthday gift at all none. and i made sure to remind him and ugh it's maddening. oki had my spoiled moment. then the next day. QUick run to the mall and back to the lovely bay area (...yay area). i had to go to confirmation class and later a 50th bday party where i had delicious filipino food (mmm kare kare!) i actually just wrote an amazing amount of stuff. I'm still waiting. Man this is so slow. I'm kind of hungry. My mom bought 20 tubs of dreyer's ice cream. I'm not exxagerating. I have a short story from the holidays. This is going to be a very long blog. When I was in San Diego. It was a couple of days after my 16TH birthday (the real one lol) and we were in trader joes. So we get to the counter and the guy at the register (propbably late 20's long blond hair.. possible smoker/pot head) and so it's our turn and the guy asks me. "How old are you? 4th grade? 6th? 7th? I'm like really red at t\\\\nd so i barely croak out a "10" the guy goes: "10 years old???" me: "erm...10th grade" I'm practically dying at this point. My dad repeated this story so much and kept laughing about it but then again i did too because in the end it was rather amusing. So that was just stuff over the holidays. Man I love christmas so much. Right now I'm in school. It's pretty good. Thank god finals are over! Omg I almost got a 4.0 ...chemistry ruined it though. Darn chemistry. Repression is still occuring and the news just becomes more depressing every day. People with families losing their jobs. Unable to take care of their families. Antonio and I were having one of our pe political discussions and we were talking about how kids in our school are so luckie. It's a really great school and this recession is barely going to affect us. Kids are complaining about losing ap class like AP french and Ap Spanish...must i mention there's like a total of 20 kids in that class when teachers in our school are losing their jobs! Including my chemistry teacher because of the budget cuts. People with families and bills! They will probably not be able to find new jobs and these people are complaining about their ap classes which btw no one takes (there's a reason they will be dropped!) Ugh ok waiting period is over so i'm done

Current Music: Jamie all over - Mayday Parade
I woke up this morning and felt surprisingly healthy! After two nights of freaking about having to cancel my sixteen candles party due to illness I am healthy! I don't want to get in to the details of my state but involved headaches, throwing up, temperature changes, etc. Horrible. Ok so today I went to school. Chemistry was fine. I don't think I've had a class where Mr. Mcnally doesn't make us laugh. Then PE. Ew pe. Today we went to the middle school to run the mile on the new track. blah blah blah. that stuff is unimportant. Then we returned to the gym and played some basketball. I was on a side court and just kind of wasting time with shooting and standing around on the court when out of nowhere this basketball comes flying really fast. It hits my nose and keeps going with full speed. It seriously surprised me. The ball came out of nowhere. I was just kind of like "did that just hit me?'/ My nose didn't even hurt. But like 10 seconds later blood just comes gushing out. And it doesn't stop! So i ended up in the bathroom and apparently Neil, was the guy who threw the basketball. He kept apologizing! Like all day! In the halls, in the girls bathroom (kind of), in later classes. It was nice but after a while a little bit annoying. Everytime he apologized people were like what happened! and i had to explain what happened all over again. ugh. So my nose bled through the rest of the class. the only upside no more basketball. Maybe I can fake having a fear of basketballs in the next class so i don't have to participate. hmmm.... Also I ran into Marlene in the bathroom. Omg this means i will never hear the end of it. So that was Pe. then History. Oh yeah it was a great day. In history Charlie (the asian) referred to me as fat. I didn't take it to heart b/c I know I'm not and I know he didn't really mean it but he said it when the whole class was silent so everyone kind of looked over at me and was like hmmmm...that's messed up charlie. and then squidward andrew got moved behind me. Omg he is annoying. He didn't stop tapping me, pushing my chair, etc. agh. and apparently i look like a zombie in a video game. so yeah the rest of the day just passed. pretty much. I must do challenge day next year! Ok so I wanted to go back a month ago and give a small summary on turkey day! Turkey day we ate at the Franciscan with My mom and Mike. The food was pretty good. Really filling. it was right on the ocean in the wharf. After dinner everyone was super stuffed so we decided to go for a walk. We ended up touring the area like tourists. Most of the shops were closing or closed. We ended up in Buena Vista the famous irish bar in ghiradelli square. I had delicious hot chocolate. We shared a table with some people visiting from Iowa. They were friendly and the conversation was pretty interesting for a while but then I kinda phased out and out of no where i see SANTA! Yes! Santa outside the window. I yell out "santa!' a couple of times until the people at the table notice. Santa btw is a chubby hobo with a white beard, red shirt, and santa hat. Actually he seriously looked like a santa. Apparently he heard me through the glass and he would not leave! He started playing peek-a-boo and it was pretty crazy. After like 10 min of pretending he was invisible he wandered away. Eventually we left the bar and outside this guy approached Mike. The guy''s all like i bet you if you give me $2 I'll do 100 pushups - 100 one handed push ups! i was actually kind of interested lol and apparently so was Mike. The guy did it ! I love hobos in san francisco. We actually had to make him stop around 80. and then thanksgiving went on...we ended it with a movie...and the next day was ciwwaffles! I'll talk a little of my upcoming birthday. So i'm having a last minute party. the thirteenth. Sleepover in marriot sf.. hang around union square and ice skate. Stay in hotel room all night. Going to be awesome. First time cougars meet screamies (sj kiddies). So hope it all goes amazing well. Omg i'm old!!! I'll try an dto remember t write a blog about it laters.

Going to this show has to be the most confusing non-confusing thing ever. I asked my mom and of UPMOST SURPRISE she said she could take us...this is aprox a week before the show. During this week so many people said they could go, couldn't go, and could go again. In fact I had no idea who was going until the night before. Jessica was trying to do the teenager thing and sneak-out but she's a good person so she told her parents and for some reason they still let her. Parents can be so surprising sometimes. Amethyst could go then plans came up and then she couldn't go, but at last minute lik 10pm the night before she texted and wallah we could. Then there's all those cougars who could and couldn't go. So at around 1-2pm they arrive at my house...and malwart. We buy the tickets! Yes the same day. You can just see how well planned this show outing was. and at around 4 pm my mom brings us to the BART station and we find are way to the city. Amethyst is seriously freaking out because sf at night can be scary. We get to the city and we stand around aimlessly for a little bit trying to understand a map. Eventually one of us hails a cab to get to the Grand Ballroom. We get in line and wait for a little bit. We look around to spot band people. No shaant yet. A ROCKET TO THE MOON:
First up. They sing Dakota last ( my favorite). Pretty awesome. Jessica and I get seperated from Amethyst and omg there's this crazy butch in front of us.
(Being continued on 1/19/08)
The butch lady brought her very pregnant wife to the front..close to the barricades. How stupid is that! She threatens us that she's going to beat the crap out of anyone who bumps into her very pregnant wife. Guess who's right behind her....me. Thank god I'm short. It's so much easier to duck when you're that much closer to the ground [nervous...lol].
Thankfully we eventually move away... I'm not sure when we move away but we do....

Juju simms voice is amazing. Her brother (spaced on his name)(but just looked it up...it's Tommy

AFTERSHOW:
November 24th, 2008
Overall, I was very disappointed in the movie. I wasn't expecting the movie to be as good as the book at all, but at the same time I wasn't expecting a horrible movie.
- It was way to fast paced ( i know that it had a lot to cover, but it didn't set the scene)
- I thought the director could be better
-The scenes weren't emotional enough ( i didn't feel edward and bella's love...it didn't give me butterflies lol). Them together was just very awkward.
- Kristen Stewart, seemed to me like the [almost] perfect person to play Bella. But in the end I think she kind of brought down the movie. her acting skills weren't very good (at least in my opinion).
- Sometimes the camera angles were just so strange. It gave me a headache at some moments. Because the camera just kept swirling.
- The glittering skin under the sun was just really strange ( i know they had a low budget, but it was just really weird, and they put a lot of emphasis on it)
- I liked the action scenes. My favorite would be the baseball field.
- I did not think I would like the actors for the Cullen family but I was pleasently surprised. They fit their characters nicely. They played their roles (unlike Bella)
Maybe this is just me. What did you think of it? especially like the baseball scene too. and the cat money thing was hilarious.
omg i love jasper(in the movie)!
i do think kristen did bring down the whole movie. she looks perfect as bella but her acting skills...

Current Mood: sad
Current Music: Sweetness - Jimmy Eat World
Today was a day, like any other. I honestly didn't mean to start it off like a Jack Mannequin's song but i couldn't help it. Anyways just decided to give a summary of my day. So this morning I took the bus to school and everything's normal except my ipod is dead and I can't listen to it so that makes me sad but otherwise it's all cool until... this blind woman who i believe is filipino because she keeps talking about this restaurant manila bay and because she looks it, anyway that' unimportant what is important is the man who gets on with her. He is not blind, at least he doesn't have a stick. They sit perpendicular to me. So the guy is basically talking about how she's improvong and then he asks her to kiss him....and they smooch a little. Then my mind starts to wander. Normally I wouldn't be watching people so closely but I was without my ipod and I was awake and had nothing to do. But anyways my mind wanders and I start to wonder if the ideal player would pick-up blind people. I mean they're blind so... Like this guy could be chilling with all these blind women, a lot of them aren't even bad looking and this guy is pretty ugly but they can't tell! and he can leave clues all over! He's nice to them, they're a minority. It seems so perfect! but honestly really bad. Okay i need to get back on topic. This guy gets on and he's all normal but then he starts to moan, disturbing moans (not sexual). People are starting to stare at him. Then he takes off his shirt, he has a wife beater underneath and he starts breathing into his shirt. A few minutes later he starts gagging. it's so disgusting. Everytime i start to turn away. People move away from him. For some reason I don't. I'm not looking at him anymore but suddenly I smell it. The stench of upchuck is just horrible. I didn't hear anything but I know it happened. I throw a quick glance and i see him clutching his shirt covered in vomit. It's disgusting. Thankfully a few stops later I get off the bus in a rush. So that was my bus ride to school. Another story to add to my pile of bus stories. I must remind myself to share this one with Antonio, my bus story sharing person. So chem. We're doing this project about William Prout. Basically he studied urine and believed everything had to do with hydrogen. We're giving a report. I don't really know my partners all that well. They're convinced they want to do a puppet show but I don't see how it relates. I try to explain but I guess i'm like Piggy (lord of the flies) and my message fails to be heard. Anyway it was an awkward moment but what is most memorable is one of the guys in my group asks me why i stopped talking. I didn't stop talking! But i guess i seem like an emo loner to him. I never though i seemed that way until this girl ava asked my friend who was her first friend here and she said me and ava was like " That emo girl!" Moving on.... but i'm not . and i wore pink ruffles today. I'm almost starting to understand amethyst's point of view about it lol. So then PE...ew mile. Ok and History. It starts off with some crazy story about the kid next to me who was on speed and three other nameless drugs all weekend and his friend who almost has alcohol poisoning and how he was really scared. I foundsomething in this conversation ironic. This kid Jay Jayt gave him the stuff and when he offers him a smoke three drugs later he's all like "no man I don't smoke, it's unhealthy". I almost want to laugh at him but I keep quiet. I never really know how to react with conversations like thse. hadI really enjoy my history teacher. We talk a lot about how history repeats itself and modern times. We discuss prop 8 and the supreme court - the topic of homosexual marriage, heterosexual marriage, and religion. Then the topic takes a depressing turn. we once again talk about the economy. We talk about past depressions and what's ahead for us. It's not looking good though. In fact it's really scary. He said something that I really felt was very clever and has to do with the common saying about how just look for the light. The light at teh end of the tunnel will get you through. Stuff like that. So my teacher goes and says, " That light you see, that's a train coming at you and your on the tracks." This just really made me cringe. It showed me how hope was lost and for this period I really did lose hope in my country. We talked about california possibly having to file for bankrupcy and general motors possibly too. This is 300,000 more jobs lost. How war brings us out of depression since it provides jobs but we should not turn to this. But i started thinking and isn't war one of the things that puts us in debt, is it the cause of are depression? This also reminded me of the genocide going on in Darfur. So anyways college was also discussed. CSU had its first cut ever. People with a B average would no longer be automatically accepted because there were large education budget cuts. It will be harder to get in schools. The price will go up. And really even if you do go to college, you get out and there's no jobs available. There goes my whole future. Other stuff happened but I've written a lot already and I do need to start my homework. The last paragraph brought up memories and now I'm just saddened by what is to come. I don't think a depression is an avoidable option at this moment. Good luck Obama.

The Sassyback Tour featuring Cobra Starship, Forever the Sickest Kids, Hit the Lights, and Sing it Loud. Attended by me, dulce, juice, and amethsyt on October 29, 2008. I was living on the dangerous side when I pulled my first true act of being an American teenager and snuck out to The Sassyback Tour on Wednesday. I went to Jessica's after school - I was there before her and after a poster war left for the Fillmore, San Francisco with Amethyst, her brother, and apparently a "cougar" known as Amethyst's mom. Doors opened at 6pm we maybe got there a little before 7, outside the Fillmore we spotted a FTSK member in their tour bus and when walking up the stairs next to us was Pat of Sing It Loud. Before we joined the mob standing around in front of the stage though we made a quick escape for the bano (accent over the n). Headed to the side of the crowd surrounding the stage and took turns going to the merch stand. Dulce and I got the same shirt and jessica and amethyst got stuff..... SING IT LOUD: The show's opener was a band called Sing it Loud. I knew a couple of their songs and there wasn't too much action other then I got seperated from Dulce, Juice, and Ame.... ( i am officially refering to amethyst as am..... cause her name is just way too long and takes too much thought to type). HIT THE LIGHTS: Hit the lights was pretty cool i guess. I don't really listen to them. BUT they played my song! (speakersblown) lol. Pat of sing it loud comes out for a song, I don't know which though. FOREVER THE SICKEST KIDS: Awesome. At times though it was hard to enjoy because everyone pushed like crazy. C'mon people just calm down. I basically moved all around the room during them. I even fell on somebody. Oh and some crowd surfer fell on my head and it hurt my neck for at least a week after that. I almost convinced my mom to take me to the doctors to check it out but then it stopped aching. Anyways ftsk was awesome...they placed Catastrophe! A lot of jumping and sining. Some talking. etc... COBRA STARSHIP: Awesome. People finally stopped pushing! Yes! It made Cobra so much more enjoyable. Gabe comes out then suarez ryland victoria. Lights intense and bright, love it. Sing songs of both old and new. Lots of jumping. Lots of stories and jokes. Kiss my sass doctor. Gabe hands the microphone to someone in the crowd and some teenie girl yells in to the microphone I love you Gave, and he's all like that's boring give me something new and the girl couldn't come up with anything better. laaame. Ok anyways they ended with Bring it on - guilty pleasure was not played at this point. Everyone's sad. Crowd starts chant. After a while Ryland comes out. Tells us his favorite place - Pleasure Ryland! Does his crazy awesome dance. Eventually the rest of Cobra comes out. Sings Pleasure Ryland and Guilty Pleasure. The ending is awesome. Sad it's over. AFTER THE SHOW: I finally meet up with Dulce, Juice, and Am... They we're off to the side, I think. I don't really know. Now i get in the super long merch line for tina's $5 Sing it Loud Cd. then once that is done i get it signed by Pat, from Sing it loud and then I get my ftsk cd signed by Jonathon Cook. Juice and the rest were taking pics with them while I was in line and Juice's talented photo skills took a picture of her and Jonathon Cook..totally missing her perfectly. Yup and then we waited for amethyst's mom. We got kicked out of the Fillmore and waited on the streets with the hobos. Then we got in amethyst's mom's car and went to jessica's and then the end. Sorry if it was a bit lacking I wrote like the first 2 paragraphs a week after the show and now the rest of it 2 weeks after.

Halloween has definitley sucked this year. It started with having all these plans about going places and trick-or-treating and watching scary movies but then it just got cancelled. everything got cancelled. So that kind of sucked. I was a princess. I had my mini tiara, short pink sequined skirt, hello kitty necklace, faux pearls, uggs, leggings, and i was going to do hair dye but i got too lazy. Anyways so it seems like i had a more halloween last week then this week. (on friday) On friday last week dulce and I with her godbrother Max went to the corn rows! I mean maze....not the hair style that's just awkward. I say awkward way too much. that and intense. Anway we drove out to Petaluma...getting super lost on the way there and we went to the corn maze! The drive to the corn maze was an adventure in itself. The first part we got so lost but that's not what i'm about to talk about. We like exited late for the pumpkin farm/corn maze and we ended up in this dark empty street with no lights. It was exactly like in those scary movies like jeepers creepers where the houses are a ways of the road and there's farm land everywhere and no lights and if something happened you could scream all you want but no one would hear you anyway. SO we were all kind of joking around about that but still kind of scared at the same time. and then out of nowhere i see police lights flashing from behind and we get pulled over. and now we're all laughing hysterically - crazily. I thought we were going to die or like he'd make us get out of the car and take a breath test for alcohol...whihc was not happening but still he'd be abusing us and omg it was scary. It was like the csi episodes where the police gets out of his car and kills you. It was so freaky. But the cop turned out to be fine. We left with a warning for missing a stoplight and he even gave us directions to the corn maze! (but for a while i thought he was following us) okay so in the corn maze we basically entered and got lost. But it was surprisingly fun. Especially with Dulce there. We would talk about scary movies and dulce would get so freaked out at one point. my favorite moment. Max and I snuck off a ways from Dulce and then like three seconds later all we heard was "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo!" it went on even longer that. It was so hilarious. A guy that walked by looked over at us and was like did you just murder someone.. andt then the rest went on similarily. I tripped a few times, dulce and i screamed a few times, i stole a corn. dulce found the corn in her backpack back in the car going home. Oh and it took us over an hour to get out of the corn maze and we asked for directions!! but we kept ending up back at the same hub (spot). We ended up following some poeple to get out and we probably freaked them out. Soo yup that was halloween and even funner pre-halloween. Hopefully there'll be a make-up halloween party. like a sleepover with all my sj buddies and scary movies all night.

I now have two livejournal pages, which must seem kind of strange. Why would you need two! Well the reason is I now have to keep one for english class. http://mich3ll3mab3ll3.livejournal.com/Our teacher gives us prompts and then we write about it. It is def not meant for the things that I write in this journal. My writing in that journal is all proper and hopefully makes sense. Well today is TAI i wish i could go but i can't. Yesterday I took the psats. who knows how that went. It's almost halloween. I love halloween. And well this is honestly all I feel like writing write now. So bye?

I shouldn't be doing this right now since I have so much stuff to do but due to my last post i ended up on here and decided what the heck (ew i did not just say that) i'm going to post a journal entry.
A long time ago I probably mentioned something about moving...and it's finally happening! Well soon anway. The floors are changed, the walls are painted, and it's just woah I'm actually moving. I'm going to have my own room!!!! So exciting.
According to my english teacher i'm going to have to keep a lj for school. So it's basically more homework - freewrites though. It'll probably be like what lj does for people with writers block then we're going to write about it and then we have to go and comment on other students free writes. But of course it's going to be much more formally written and also better thought out. For example I will not have sentences that start with but.
Ly's birthday was crazy fun but it seems so long ago, in fact it actually was a while ago. A whole week ago. We went to chevy's and bay street mall and her house for a little bit. Ly's reaction to her gift was amazing and Dulce got an super awesome picture of ly's eyeing popping out of her face because of an ice cream sundae. Oh yes... ly's gift was a birthday card signed by: THE ACADEMY IS... (yes the whole band, jack the camera guy (with comments!) and gabe from cobra starship. Lucky betch.
I have so much to do! projects and projects and ew math! I am also determined to go to see either TAI or Cobra but i don't know how...but i am determined too!!!! Hmm must think more about this.
OMG it's almost halloween which means it almost the holidays! I love the holidays!
I really can't write anymore since i have a psychology test tomorrow and I need to study!!!! and i have yet to do my herstory homework, check my math homework, and write my reort on John Cabot. Omg i'm so behind! Weekend homework is the worst.
Oh and thanks to amethyst I have a psychology toppic to lead a class discussion in and have discovered this amazing site:

I was just wasting time on yahoo answers which is very addicting if you didn't know and I came across this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081005182405AAJXjvaHow to stay up through the night?Laying in bed, in a dark, silent, cozy room. Is it possible through sheer determination?
^^ that was the question.
And i was just like woah. I want to try this!
So i pretty much put this here so one day when i have absolutely nothing to do, probably in the summer. I will try and do that and this here will be a reminder. Oh that will be a long night!

I'm sleepy and I really have no reason to write right now. I'm sure a lot has happened since I last made an entry. Especially considering the fact that I haven't made an entry in about a month or so. I'm exhausted right now for some reason. What I'm going to try to do now is write about a couple things I remember. Today is Friday the 26th and today was supposed to be my first EVER drivers lesson but it got canceled and now I have to wait two more weeks which is sligtly depressing but probably a good thing because that means two more weeks to live before I die behind the wheel. I'm a sophmore now in high school and so far it's fine. My classes are: Chemistry - So far it's okay. EXCEPT on our 2nd real lab we had to this experiment where we measure the amount of carbon dioxide a certain medicine gave off and we had to use that jars (for jelly) for testing. My teacher borrow them from his girlfriend's mother and he's really trying to impress her so he WARNED us about a gabillion times DO NOT BREAK the jars and so my lab partner is Grace who seems pretty cool and so far the experiment is going okay except for a few minor mishaps which end up in complete laughter fits but nothing compared to what's about to happen...which is. I was taking the glass jar out from the tub and at that moment it's in my hand then a second later it's on the floor. I don't even know how it happened!!! It was so bad!!!!!!!!!!!. I about died or laughter. Very embarrassing laughter. I had to sweep up all the glass on the floor and somone's notebook got ruined and everyone muttered under there breath about what an idiot i was. Yet it was somehow unbelievably funny. Psychology - So far it's okay but she never calls on me for oral quiz and that's really bad. PE 2- ew. But lots of crazy ghetto bus stories. English 2- Unbelievably hard. But pretty cool teacher...I guess. World History- I like my teacher but he gets so off topic it's crazy. I don't think we've ever talked about something we're learning but what we do talk about is very interesting. he's married to my pe teacher. Huge Obama fan. Spanish 2 - I actually have a good spanish teacher! Algebra 2 - ew. Crappy teacher this year. Ok well two weeks ago was the solano stroll. That was pretty fun. Saw a lot of people from St john's like laura, jessica r, melissa, and jade. Also the old gang (lol old gang sounds like a reference from scooby doo) which always and forever consists of amethyst, jessica, ly and dulce. It was pretty cool. I remember ly and I after we got seperated from the rest we went to the El Cerrito Theatre and watched old cartoons like Tom and Jerry. God i miss those cartoons. Cartoons nowadays are so pointless. I mean back then they were amazing but now they're like (according to my chem teacher) ooooh animals in balls lets throw them and make them fight...I wonder where animal abuse comes from. Then last week on saturday it was Dijnee's birthday but I couldn't go because i had to go toilet shopping which seems strange and totally random. On sunday I went to the sj parish festival BBQ. Who knows this might be my last year of going there considering this is Tina's last year there. That seems so strange. At the BBQ saw DIANA and others from our old class. It was pretty cool. I had to volunteer for some of it, in place of my mom. But we also had fun sticking crazy naked babies everywhere, watching an old man dance with a super mini guitar, and writing ly has dysentary everywhere. This weekend, tomorrow we're going to Apo's daughter's son's first birthday (woah that was kind of confusing) and on sunday the old gang reunites again for ly's birthday! I can't wait to see Ly's reaction to her birthday gift. Earlier in an entry I meantioned somehting from warped tour which I still am unable to say but lets just say that has something to do with this. So yay! Ok well I hope the year goes on well. I know the economy is falling apart. Everyone is obsessed with Obama and life just seems like....swirling down a black abyss (lol emo song on youtube) but on a more serious note with the banks issues on all the home foreclosures and bad loans we are definitley going to be heading down a wrong lane unless something happens fast. Not to mention global warming which needs to be stopped and the war. Oh and United States is the number one country in debt. 9 TRILLION dollars to give you more of an idea. Even thinking about all this is just depressing. I can't imagine the future. Here we come third world country! The fall of America. As I walking home from school this afternoon I actually stopped and admired the light hitting the trees and it made me think of my step-mom elena and her storis she told me of her childhood. I love hearing old stories about the past, I just find it very interesting. She's not that old and to think that just 15 years ago she was growing up in a whole different country, in a entirely different world. It makes me wonder where I will be in 15 years. It's kind of crazy. Well I'm done with this and hopefully I'll try and keep this more interesting.
