Happy New Year(s Eve) guys.
Hope you all had a fantastic year and an even better year ahead of you<3

blogs and frogs
I've been meaning to post a blog for a while now, but life has just been so busy. Finals were this week, and now I am done with school for a month. Wooh! Except Probably only two weeks seeing as I should take winter session classes.
Actually it is proving pretty difficult to get exited about break. I have to go up to Tahoe for the entire time with no one but my immediate family. Both of my dad's brothers have backed out of the trip, and my friends up there are going to Hawaii for the break. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for them as they've never been out of the state (with the exception of Nevada which is about an hour's drive away), but it is going to be two boring weeks. I can always ski, but it is so much less fun to go alone.
For Hannukah, I basically asked for books with the exception of a f
ew CDs.
What are people taking next semester? I've got french, physical anthropology, archaeology, finite mathematics, econ and english. I am signed up for geology in winter session, though I can drop it between now and January, and I might.
Hmmm, other updates. Uh... Oh! My parents are going to give me my money back so I can buy a car! Super excited about that actually.
Oh yeah, I forgot the frog:

Hm
Hey guys.
I took a French exam today, and I think it's going to be the worst grade I have ever had in my entire life. I'm going to feel like such a failure when I get it back. =(
Last week I had a physics and history test, and I also took my German exam. Next week is math and English. So the only hard one I have left is math, which is good, I guess... damn it, that French exam...
On a happier note, my father is coming on Saturday! I'm going to meet him at the train station and then take the train to visit his parents, where I'll spend the night. On Sunday we're planning to all (me, my father, his parents, his brother, and the family I'm living with) go to a Christmas market. On Monday I have to go to school because of the math exam, but I only have five periods on Mondays, so school ends at 12:15 for me. Then I can see him again. He leaves on Tuesday.
Otherwise, there isn't much going on. Hope everyone is doing well!

My mom's possible new car
What do you all think?
I like it. It's a 2003 Chevrolet Calavier? I think that's what it's called.
I especially love the color.
Also, just to let everyone know, I'm completely and utterly obsessed with:
And the movie they are in.
Swooooooooooooooooooooooooooon.
Almost There

I am excited to see my family, but I still have to do Christmas shopping. I just really want to sleep in my bed for 10 hours, drive my car, and visit my frieeennnddds. Anyway, cannot wait until Christmas.

hey guys. so i feel like i haven't posted in a while, but it's only because there isn't really anything new going on with me...i'm still knee-deep in college apps, and i still FUCKING LOVE MY JOB! yay.
today i went in for my dj friend casey's morning comedy show from 8-12 (if you're just joining us, i intern at a radio station ;) ), and that was HILARIOUS. it was so much fun. then i got a text from my boss asking me if i could take the afternoon shift for the cafe (it's kinda hard to explain, but basically the studio shares a storefront with a cafe...the revenue from the cafe helps keep the station going). so i ended up staying until 5 working the cafe, but that's kind of good because now i don't have to go in tomorrow to work my normal shift.
dude, no one even cares about my job at all except me, sorry. i'm just overly obsessed with it. but at least i acknowledge that.
it's just that this is the first job/internship i've had that i actually, seriously, loved. and i guess i think it's kind of cool and special that i've found a place to work that i enjoy so much, because i always hear my friends bitching about how much they hate work, but i love working here. even though i don't get paid. that's another story, whatever.
oh yeah, and here, go and play "word round up" it's the shit:

Awkward greeting time!
Well, hey there NorCal DF!
If you didn't know me, I'm Sara, and I just recently (about fifteen minutes ago) became part of this swell little blog.
Here's a few facts about me-
-I've never really blogged before, so chances are, I'll mess this up.
-I have the unforunate habit of saying "lawlz." It's a whole different story.
-Currently listening to- "Sophisticated Side Ponytail" by Natalie Portman's Shaved Head
-I'm a little awkward and strange sometimes. I try to think of it as "quirky".
So, pleasure to make your collective acquantince!

It's strangely addicting; much more than I expected actually.
In other news, my band is playing their first show soon; I'll let you know when I have more information.
Thanks and happy giving :)

Somewhere over the rainbow...
Hi everybody!
Hi Dr. Nick!
We just arrived in Ashland for Thanksgiving. We had to eat at The Blackbear Diner like always, and, like always, it was dreadful. The only vegetarian things on their menu are toast, a cup of under ripe melon, and pancakes that they stop serving after 10 am. The drive was traffic-free though, so I'm thankful for that.
Tonight I'll be having dinner with my aunt, uncle and cousin then hopefully going to see The Boy in the Striped Pajamas in the later night. I love it up here. I can't imagine living here, but visiting is so fun. There are lots of independent bookstores, coffee stores, and an old-style movie theatre. They also show plays in the spring and summer, but not now.
I saw a truck today with a NoBama bumper sticker. It made me smile because we won and he didn't.
There is nothing really left to say, but I'm really bored. Someone post entertaining videos.

I have no title...
Hi guys! It snowed!
Okay, kinda. For maybe fifteen minutes. I was walking to the bus stop after coming out of Kaufhof (it's like Target) and it was raining. The rain got more and more frozen, and when I got to the bus stop it had turned to snow. But a couple minutes later it was back to rain. It's supposed to continue to snow this weekend.
It was fucking cold. The bus was a quarter of an hour late, so I was standing outside for almost thirty minutes.
So. I'm staying here until summer break. But! I'm visiting California from April 2 to April 19 (Easter) because if I don't, I might not be able to get back into America in the summer. The reason is because I don't have US citizenship, and my greencard would possibly be void if I don't set foot in the country for over a year. So let's plan a meetup then as well!
This weekend, I'm not doing a lot. Tomorrow night, two of my friends are celebrating their birthdays, so I'm going to their party.
My dad is visiting me in three weeks, so I'm looking forward to that. But he can only stay for three nights.
Otherwise, I still like school. My class likes to mess with some of the teachers that are easily tricked or won't punish us. Like on Wednesday during PE, some of us told the teacher that a guy (Tim) had bit his tongue and was bleeding hard. It was actually red food coloring, but the teacher believed them and started explaining that aspirin thins the blood, because Tim had said that he had taken one that morning.
And during physics, the class randomly gives big rounds of applause, sometimes interrupting our teacher.
Things like that. I guess they're kinda immature, but they're funny if the teacher just doesn't get it.
Okay, that's all. I hope everyone is doing well!

god.
so basically i need a job.
my family sucks, and i've been having to pay for necessities i need for everyday life myself lately.
i have an unpaid internship at the moment.
i spend about $50 on BART each week in addition to food, gas, and random things like that.
so where has this money been coming from? well, i've been withdrawing money out of my bank account for the past few months. there is a certain amount that i like to keep in it as a baseline, and that threshold has long since past. i can't keep taking money out of my bank account; it's not like a never-ending source. i need to get a job.
i wish my parents weren't lame, and i wish that at this point in my life my parents could be adults and have their shit together enough to be able to take care of me, but they don't.
so, like i said, i need a job. i need a way to be more independent (even when i ask for money i usually don't get it), and i need a reason just to be out of the fucking house.
i recently moved my schedule around so that right now i get out of school at 115 everyday, and starting in late january, i'll be getting out of school at 1145 each morning. so i think i'll have time for a job.
after college apps are done (which should be in the next two weeks) i'm going to start looking for a part-time job.
where should i work?

Updates updates
Hmmm. What is new with everyone?
It has been a while since I've updated, so I thought I should write up a blog. Right now I'm watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I SHOULD be waiting in line for Half-Blood Prince but Warner Bros. decided they were going to be giant butt-wipes. July is so far away!
Oh! I totally aced my chem test which means I have a B in the class, so I don't have to drop it. That is a huge relief. I did drop that horrible history class I've told some of you about. I wasn't about to stay in a class I was pulling a C in. Fuck that, the humanities are what I'm good at. When I went to drop it, for some reason it wasn't allowing me to drop it myself, so I went to this guy's office to ask him to drop it for me. He was like "why would you take this class? This is the worst teacher on campus." Jeez, thanks Joe, is there a reason you didn't tell me this when I registered?
Next semester I have:
Physical Anthropology
French (maybe. Apparently a lot of people don't like the professor)
Archaeology
Finite Mathematics
Econ
English IV
Has anyone else picked classes yet?
Oh yeah, before I forget, Lena, it turns out we're just going back east this year because I have to start classes in July for winter session. La-ame.
What else? Uhhhm. There is nothing like trying to blog about my life to show me just how boring it really is. Okay, I've updated, now it's everyone else's turn.

Hello Everybody!
Sooo, I've been bored lately and spending an excess amount online, which led me to the board which led me to twitter. So if any of YOU have twitter, my u to the r to the l is, www.twitter.com/FRyan47.
In unrelated news, the stupid fire alarm in my building went off first at 6 am and then again at 8:30 am (at which point everyone ignored it) and again at 9 am (at which point everyone was scared into evacuating for fear of getting a stupid $2500 fine). Someone in our dorm loves fire; first we had to take down all the paper objects in the hallways because someone was lighting them on fire and now people pull the fire alarm ALL THE TIME! Somebody pulled it at like 3 am last Monday. I hate them. I don't know who it is, but I am not in love with them.
I am in love with the fact that I get all of next week off from school. I'm so excited! I'm going to spend the weekend with my sister and then spend the rest of the week with my fam in Hollister. I also read about the possible meet up soon on the DF which made me extra excited because I'll actually be able to go to this one. I've never gone to one before so...
I'm just writing this as I waste time before I go to my least favorite class ever, Econ. Never take it if you don't have to (although I'm pretty sure you have to). But I just get really bored and want to fall asleep the whole time that I'm there. I just woke up from a nap though, so hopefully I won't . Anyway, I hope everyone else is having a nice day and feeling good about life and hopefully I will be able to meet all of you soon!

alright guys.
the OFFICIAL "intern hour" is:
SUNDAYS, 5-6 PM
87.9FM SAN FRANCISCO
stream online at WWW.PIRATECATRADIO.COM
so listen! basically, it's a bunch of the interns and i on talking about whatever we want and playing whatever we want. last week only two of us were there (out of five), so there could be nights when it's only a few of us, and there could be nights when there's all five of us. i will try to be on every week, though.
if you ever have anything you want me to play, let me know! the only rule is that it can't be mainstream. if you give me something to play and i do, i'll give you a shout-out!
ALSO, if YOU or SOMEONE YOU KNOW is in a band, i can play your music! give me mp3s/myspace urls!
who knows....you could land an interview on the station one day! (haha, actually it's not that hard to do...lemme know if yuo or anyone you know is interested...)
okay guys, so that's it!
oh yeah, and after a few weeks we might work it out so that we will rotate every five weeks and have our own shows, so if that happens, i'll give you all my dates :)

What is everybody doing? I don't have many plans except to lay around and sleep and maybe go see my aunt for dinner that Thursday. As far as school goes, it's all smooth sailing so far, and I may get to go spend a week with my friend Jay next summer. Huzzah!
And in response to Rebecca's post, did anybody go to the rally in Sacto? I wanted to go but in the end I couldn't find a ride. How was it?
Oh, and any meet-up news for us? Let's get that thing planned!

I dream of marzipan roses...
...and wake up in a cold sweat. haha
OK so im bored.
Lets see, I cut Quiche's nails today, he DID NOT like that. But i think afterwards he realized it was a good thing. He seemed happier. He is the cutest, i let him run around in my bathroom and he plays fetch with himself and chases my sister around. I love that little piggy.
I need to submit my wedding cake drawing on monday. Im freaking out man! I dont know what i want to do, or what i am capable of doing. sheesh. I cant believe it'll be due in 2 weeks. eeepers!
OH and my final, like my FINAL final, is in a month. scary! We are freaked. I really dont wanna fail. And i'll probably be moving out of my apartment in about a month and a half. I hope to get an internship in the east bay or SF. It'll be easier, and i can live at home.
This has gone by waaay too fast.

Hello everybody!
So this weekend I went home (sort of). I went back to Hollister for all of one night before I drove two and a half hours to Modesto to visit my friend and see two local bands from Hollister play. It was a little ridiculous. We went to a no on prop 8 rally and got flipped off and talked to by, for lack of a better term, religious zealots. All I have to say about that though is it's useless to argue with someone about religion because there's not much logic in religion and it's going to take more than an hour of argument to change someone's beliefs. Obviously my protest wasn't half as exciting as everyone else's. Anyway, my friend set up this whole show for the band, Exhibit A, and told everyone that he was going to have all of his new friends come and that there would be people there to watch and the audience ended up being mostly people from Hollister. I think there were five people from Modesto and around 15 from Hollister. So it seemed like a waste of time almost except that I had all kinds of fun. I saw people from Hollister that I hadn't seen for so long and got to hang out with my friends, but then I had to drive back at 1:30 in the morning which sucked. I didn't get home until 3:30 and that was only because I sped the whole way. I was going to come back on Sunday and do homework but instead I came back on Sunday slept, read, and slept some more. So I woke up early on Monday and finished a powerpoint for my science class and emailed it to my professor 45 minutes before class started and I had to present. I'm kind of happy I did that though because otherwise I would have been at that mess at Stonestown (while I am a twilight fan I am not that huge of one, I would have been going to get christmas presents for my megafan friends.) So I'm happy that I have today off, it's a nice little break, but I have a group project to do with these two other people due tomorrow and we were going to get together last night but it didn't happen so I'm probably going to spend all of this afternoon working on that. ALSO, last night at 2 am the stupid FIRE ALARM went off in our building so I had to evacuate. That did not make me happy, but whatever. I feel good today. I hope everyone has a great week! I cannot wait for Thanksgiving break.

Obviously my protest wasn't half as exciting as everyone else's. Anyway, my friend set up this whole show for the band, Exhibit A, and told everyone that he was going to have all of his new friends come and that there would be people there to watch and the audience ended up being mostly people from Hollister. I think there were five people from Modesto and around 15 from Hollister. So it seemed like a waste of time almost except that I had all kinds of fun. I saw people from Hollister that I hadn't seen for so long and got to hang out with my friends, but then I had to drive back at 1:30 in the morning which sucked. I didn't get home until 3:30 and that was only because I sped the whole way. I was going to come back on Sunday and do homework but instead I came back on Sunday slept, read, and slept some more. So I woke up early on Monday and finished a powerpoint for my science class and emailed it to my professor 45 minutes before class started and I had to present. I'm kind of happy I did that though because otherwise I would have been at that mess at Stonestown (while I am a twilight fan I am not that huge of one, I would have been going to get christmas presents for my megafan friends.) So I'm happy that I have today off, it's a nice little break, but I have a group project to do with these two other people due tomorrow and we were going to get together last night but it didn't happen so I'm probably going to spend all of this afternoon working on that. ALSO, last night at 2 am the stupid FIRE ALARM went off in our building so I had to evacuate. That did not make me happy, but whatever. I feel good today. I hope everyone has a great week! I cannot wait for Thanksgiving break.

David Bottrill is producing Placebo's new ablum
So reading jades blog post made me gigglez. My 2 fave bands making new albums at the same time with the same producer.
I wonder how these albums will turn out...similar?
Placebo's will come out 1st of course since they have been recording for a while. Ah now im impatient.
Last night was insanly fun. The faint kick too much ass.
The opening acts sucked. NPSH was the cheesiest band ever.
And i saw Nee-sa, havne seen you in forever. And my friend Carlita was there. She lives around the block from me in newark but i still havnt seen her in like a year!

prop 8 protest. sf. 11/7/08.
so.
yesterday was the prop 8 protest in san francisco from civic center to dolores park.
it was completely beautiful. there was minimal violence, the sfpd was out, but they respected our right to protest.
and the news cam footage of mark and rich being chased down by the police had me in tears last night when i got home from the protest. it's just completely sick. i think it's great that the df came together to help out and support them to bail them out of jail. i think that what mark fought through should be inspiration for all of us.
anyway, the sf protest was completely inspiring - it was awesome just to go and see over a thousand people out there so passionate about the issue.
although, i can't help but feel slightly discouraged after seeing so many people out there supporting the cause (even though it was a small percentage of voters), and still know that it just wasn't enough.
maybe we didn't defeat proposition 8, but we certainly haven't lost. yeah, it's a let down - we thought that our state was more open minded than it has proven to be. but i think this election is proof that society (however discriminatory it can be) has the capacity to overcome barriers, whether racial, religious, personal....whatever.
society will always find a minority to oppress, no matter what.
the time will come when LGBTQI community is considered truly equal, and we just have to keep fighting for what we know is right until we get there.

ps: the faint tonight! yee! one of the opening bands, natalie portman's shaved head, has proven to be pretty legit, based on their myspace page.

No, I'm not dead.
Man, I can't believe 8 passed! It makes me really sad, honestly, when it passes and even the two most homophobic people I know voted no on it! My aunt is Mormon, and I'm pretty sure she and my uncle would have CAMPAIGNED yes on it; I don't know how I should face them if the issue is risen come Thanksgiving when we usually go to dinner at her house. In other news, I do think it is momentous that Obama got elected; my hope is that, by breaking down racial barriers, then maybe people can start to accept non-racial ones as well.
Also, did anybody hear about Mark? Major bummer, though I'm glad the DF is such a tight-knit community as to bail each other out of jail! (I have many friends who wouldn't do that for each other, let alone me)
As per my situation at the moment, school may as well be killing me. I don't know about all you Bay Area folk or how your school system works, but here I'm expected to get up at 6:30 am everyday, be at school till 3:30 (2:30 on Weds/Thurs) and do 2 hours of homework as well as balance everything else in my life. I feel lucky at this point, I guess, that I'm not a drama or a sports kid because after school sports don't often get over till 7 or so, and then the musical has been keeping a majority of the drama kids at school till about 10 or even later this past week. As a result, pretty much every kid at my school doesn't get more than 7.5 hours of sleep a night. That doesn't sound too healthy...
Either way, at least my grades are passable again (B's/A's, maybe a C) and I'm allowed back on the boards again/to associate with the DF again. Yay.
Oh, and yes to Cheesecake Factory/Ice skating '08! :)
-Michelle
P.S. What's going on in the San Francisco area in the next few weeks? I might get to go down there and I want something other to do than shell out cash for tourist-trap things (not that they aren't bad, but I'm broke right now). Thanks!

Ho hum.
I'm so bummed that all of you are going to the march without me. I really wanted to go, I don't think you guys understand how much that would have meant to me to go. Oh well, like Rebecca said, there will probably be more rallies before they finally wake the fuck up and allow gay couples to be happy and get married.
It still pisses me off so much that people had the nerve to pass that proposition. My dad voted yes, and I bitched his ear out so bad, but ignorant people like that will never learn.
I'm craving Cheesecake Factory so bad right now, if you all have enough money, for the meetup I'm planning (whether you like it or not) we should go to the Cheesecake Factory and then roller skating, or.. EVEN BETTER! Ice skating, since we didn't do it last year. If I got some opinions that would be fantastic, because I really really want to go ice/roller skating, it's so much fun. Please leave a comment if you want to do it, it sounds like it would be exciting.
I really fail at blogging, I don't lead an exciting life, so yeah. At least I haven't forgotten about this yet.
I just got an email from my grandma, and I fell in love with this quote:

My First Blog
This is literally my first blog including Myspace, so forgive me if it's a little lame. Just to let everyone know I just moved up to SF in the middle of August to go to State up here. Before that I lived in Hollister (Not like the store it's about two hours south of here, forty five minutes directly inbound from Monterey/Santa Cruz) and it's a lot different than San Francisco. For example, I'm pretty sure that Hollister passed 8, which makes me really sad. Because basically what that means is that the people in my hometown are down with taking peoples rights away. I'm not even sure how Prop 8 was passed or how it can be upheld because it's taking away people's rights and I thought we weren't allowed to do that in the US except in times of war, or when it would threaten our national security. I could be wrong though, government was never my best subject. Despite that, I also want to talk about Obama's win. I am so excited that he won and I know that he's not some messiah that's going to change everything in a snap of the fingers but I would like to say that I am disgusted by the people I've heard talking about the results in a blase manner as if this isn't monumental. While Obama may not be able to change everything with a snap of his fingers don't you get that him being elected changed a fair amount of things? His election is monumental.
I'm really sad to say that one of my best friends is one of these people, but lately I've noticed that's she's just sort of a Negative Nancy. She's been bringing me down a lot lately and it sucks because I haven't made that many friends here so she's pretty much the only person I hang out with. I don't want to sound sad and lonely because I'm not. I'm cool with my one really good friend and the few other friends I have here, but it really sucks that the person who knows me best up here is such a downer. Besides being a joykill about Obama's win she's been making me feel really judged lately by what I do with my life. Such as the choice to go to a party with my roommate and her friends. My friend finally came with us this time, for the first time since we've been here, despite my previous invites and she TOTALLY killed the mood in the car on the way there. Neither she or I were drinking because we were sharing the burden of designated driver and even though I warned about the chaos that would be going on in the car (the yelling and loud music and general disorderliness) she refused to just lighten up and go with the flow. After this night she's been ridiculously awkward around my roommate too. Instead of just being unhappy the night of and letting it be known and then letting it flow under the bridge anytime we're around my roommate or her friends she leaves the room or sits there awkwardly not trying to engage them at all. I'm sorry if this is really whiny but I've just become really annoyed with her and her attitude, but it's not like I can just ignore her because she is my friend. I don't know if I should sit down and talk to her about this or not because I honestly believe that it's just the way she acts. I think she's just sort of socially awkward. I don't know though. Whatever.
Besides that, I love living in San Francisco. I have been to, while not an abundance of shows, a few very high quality ones (Tiger Army, Horrorpops, and Street Dogs). I also went to a comedy show at Cobbs (Jaime Kennedy) which was hilarious and I love love love Rasputin music and Birite Creamery/Delores Park. And I can't really think of anything else to write that would make me seem less whiny (I swear I'm not really this bad, I think it has something to do with the fact that I've had the worst cough ever this week <--- see, more whining). Anyway, this is my introduction to you and I know it's not a great one but it lets you know who I am.

OBAMA!!!
Yay! I'm so happy for this country. Now we just need 8 to make a turn around and start failing, and I'll be happy. It has been a long day of politics, and now I am going to drink a nice warm mug of tea and go to bed. I hope things look better in the morning/things are looking pretty damn good. I'm very torn right now, but overall I'm just glad it's over.
Night folks.
new layout
love it...?
hate it...?
suggestions...?
the heading is slightly off center, i need to fix that. i just don't have time to play around with that right now...i'm also thinking of finding a way to put the afi widget on the side somewhere (the afi widget still exists, right?)
i was just procrastinating on homework and decided i hated the way it looked before.

hi guys!
i just wanted to say hi.
i'm really happy right now...the happiest i've been in a long time :)
the only thing really wrong in my life right now is that i broke the headphone jack on my laptop and now i have to fix it AND i lost $20 yesterday....but other than that, i'm great!
i guess it's just that a lot of issues have worked themselves out recently, so that's good, right? yeahhhh...

Hello everyone
Well, first things first. I really like it here, and I'm thinking of extending my time away for one year instead of just half a year. Pretty much the only thing that would hold me back is that I have a terribly guilty conscience because of all the people in California are expecting me to come back the end of January. What do you guys think? If I stay here, I disappoint people in California, but if I don't stay, I disappoint myself. =/
Otherwise there isn't much going on. My birthday was last week. It was good. My friend's birthday was the day after mine (on Halloween) and I went to her house. That was fun...
This week's a bit warmer than last week. It was over 50 degrees today. Last week it rarely reached 45, even during the day. Brr.
I don't have much else to say, I guess. Hope you guys are all doing well!
Lena

Apparently I'm a complete creature of habit
This fucking sucks. I always always take a shower at 7:30 in the morning, but today I wake up and find my little brother is using the fucking shower. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm happy he's finally discovered what a shower is, but there are 1,425 other minutes in the day and he needs to use my fifteen to shower. Now I haven't showered since Sunday, so I can't go out, but I can't shower because the downstairs shower is wet still and that's disgusting, I can't use the upstairs shower because that takes too much time because of the... yes that's what I'll do. Who the fuck cares if I spill water everywhere because they never actually installed the glass shower doors? Not I.
Thank you blog, good morning.
Edit: That didn't help at all. I still feel fucking nauseated. This is so wrong.

I'm finally here!
Sabrina here! I know I know, the party can officially start. Ha!
So I decided this is what we have to do for our next meetup. Yes, no?
It's really fun and inexpensive, just like bowling was! As you all know, I don't ever EVER post on the DF boards, so comment here if you want to go, I hecka want to.
Also, Warped Tour this year! I know, it's a little bit early, but Scary Kids is playing and you all know how much those kids mean to me, so everyone has to come and support, no excuses!
Hm.. What else do you post on blogs? I'm watching Girls Next Door, and wondering why Nee-sa isn't replying to me on Facebook chat. I guess since I finally joined she decided to just stop talking to me. I know it took me a while but jeez, it took YOU a while to invite me on here! Are Lauren and Jessie invited? Can they be? I know Lauren might post if she knew about it, plus we could plan meetups here to be more organized, but still post in on the boards so we could drag in newcomers!
Well, this will probably be my last post on here, I don't do blogs, I feel awkward cause I feel like I'm talking to myself and I feel like a crazy person. So bye!

I do so post!
Just not very often. Life has been waaaaaaay hectic. Midterms + work + No on 8 = not a lot of time for blogging. I'm actually sitting at the DeFrank right now waiting to hand in a list of volunteer info.
-PLUG- If at all possible, please volunteer to help at the polls on tuesday. Here's a link http://www.noonprop8.com/action/gotv
It may seem trivial, but the last word is very important in swaying the minds of undecided voters. The Yes on 8 people will be out there, and we need to make sure we are too in as many numbers.
Anyways, that's basically my life right now. I think I want to go to UBC in Vancouver, so I'm looking into that. Nee-sa, where did you apply to?
See, this is why I hate blogging. It makes me realize just how boring my life is. I got my Anthropology midterm back today and I was one point away from an A. Exciting shit, no?
Well I'm going to skedaddle, wow it's saying skedaddle is a real word. Is it?

so theres no use commenting?
Thats great! i wish someone did that in my highschool.
But i know i'd have been on there because everyone hated me.
Anyways, i feel great. Today around 1 i hated the world.
But i spent the last 5 hours just listneing to placebo and now i feel crazy because i love life right now. But now im listening to the backstreet boys.
I am going to go hang with my cousin in a little while and get rid of some cake. The cake i made today is so pretty! Its PINK! But i dont know if i'll like it. We SOAKED the cake in alchohol and one girl ate some and spit it out FAST. I'll try it in a little but.

But im not 100% what we are doing on halloween....hmmmm =/

lucy! we're the only people writing on here.
but anyway, i just wanted to share the glory that is mhs gossip girl with you:
http://miramontegossip.blogspot.com/
someone (and seriously, no one has any idea who "mhs gossip girl" really is. and i mean no one. she (or he) really must be a master of gossip if they've been able to keep their identity a secret...) has decided to start this gossip blog, and the thing is that none of the things in that blog are true AT ALL.
and who the hell has time for stuff like that anyway?!
but yeah, it's really funny....apparently there was an old site that got closed down, and this new one just started last night.
and we're pretty sure it's a junior doing it, because there's nothing about any seniors in the blog, but the blog is written pretty well, and i don't think a freshman or sophomore could write like that.
my friends and i are thinking about sabotaging the whole thing by anonymously sending in fake "gossip" about ourselves and see if this person publishes it. i think it would be really funny to send in made-up things about myself just for shits and giggles...it's like, everything in it is made up anyway.
so yeah, pretty entertaining...maybe not as much to you guys because you don't go to school with me, but i think it's still pretty funny.
the whole idea of having a totally secret alter-ego is really interesting to me...kind of like batman. except it's miramonte gossip girl. haha. i wonder how long it'll take us to figure out who it is.

All alone in space and time. There's nothing here, but what here's mine.
I just realized last night that i hate everyone.....I get bored with people reeeaally easily.
And that im a horribly selfish person.
anyways, i'll set that aside for now.
Let you in on what is happening outside my mind:
I have a shitload of cake in my fridge....and all i've eaten today from 5am to 1pm was a slimfast bar and warm water. I think because the thought of cake (aka opening my refrigerator) makes me wannt puke. So i avoid it.
(Oh shit...i can't spell "refridgerator"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell i cant even pronounce it.)
oh and Placebo owns my soul, which you already know, but i discover it ever day.
-peace out!-
.....I wanna watch Frasier.

update: i got the hot dog outfit. and the ketchup packet candy bag.
i think this is the best thing that's ever happened to me. if i had three kids, i'd dress them up like in that picture.
AND they were on sale for 75% off....cheaper and probably better made than anything those stupid halloween superstores would have.

lucy's behind the curve! haha!
just kidding. but spw is seriously the BOMB. justin tranter also has a jewelry line called "fetty," if you didn't know.
SO. i just got back from l.a. last night...i was college hunting. i saw usc, uc irvine, ucla, csu long beach, and csula. my favorite was usc, i hope i get in!
i also saw kate bosworth in bristol farms on sunday night.
i got my first-EVER piece of tarina jewelry...i just got this:
nothing too flashy, i thought it was a good first-piece. i think i'm addicted....even though it is terrible over-priced. whatever. haha. my dad told me he was unsupportive of my decision to spend my money on that, but i guess in a way that's a good thing haha.
other shopping highlights include sprinkles cupcakes, popkiller, and japan la.
i got a hello kitty ice cream plushie at japan la! i can't even describe it. it's like hello kitty dressed as an ice cream cone. ha.
AND tonight (hopefully) i'm going to go and get this hot dog outfit for halloween:
today i just decided i wanted to be a hot dog, and i think it's basically the perfect costume :)
ANDDDD i'm most likely not going to the jstar show. i got over him when i realized he was a huge dickface. being a bitch works for some people, but for him it just makes him seem like an asshole.

i love this day
Oct. 23rd that is.
5 years ago today i saw afi live for the 1st time. <333 good times.
Anyways who wants cake!?!??
We each made 3 cakes in class today....which means we ended up with 33 cakes. And THAT means 396 pieces of cake with about 60 people in the school to give it to.
So i eneded up taking home 3 full cakes. I ate like 1/3 of a slice of each and i am so over cake. Each is 3 layers and full of death by sugar.
But i have to admit, todays cakes were good.
Anyways, come over and have cake next week...or tonight.
im done
-lucy-
oh and while i remember, Nee-Sa, are you going to the jstar show in SJ next month???

hey guys! exciting news!
yesterday i got an internship with Pirate Cat Radio, a station that broadcasts out of sf. they have a very low signal, so the only places you can really get it is in san francisco, and parts of berkeley and oakland. but it's 87.9 fm, give it a try, see if you get it.
i don't get it where i live, so i stream it online from piratecatradio.com
they're seriously the shit. like, honestly. the station manager/owner/manager/founder, monkey, did a set earlier this night where he basically played the faint, camper van beethoven, atom and his package, and the clash for two hours. he played seven faint songs, no joke.
my future boss is the shit.
anyway, pirate cat rocks, LISTEN.
i talked to monkey yesterday, and he talked of the possibility of me evetually, one day, getting my own dj slot, probably from 5-6 on sundays, but i'm not getting my hopes up. who knows, i might start working there and then monkey will realize he hates me. ot i'll realize i hate working there. idk, that probably won't happen, so far i've gotten a super chill vibe from pirate cat, esp in comparison to my LAST internship aka the most hellish thing ever. when i had to go in to work everyday, it was like a death sentence. it just wasn't fun at all.
ANYWAY 87.9 FM BITCHES.

Hi guys!
I'm really sorry I've been dead in the last months.
Well, I'm here in Deutschland. And it's really pretty in the fall; all the trees are yellow and red.
I haven't had school in the past two weeks because of fall vacation. I was in France by the Mediterranean Sea with my godmother, her daughters, and three other families the whole time. So now I'm somewhat tan.
School starts again on Monday. On Wednesday, I'm taking a math final, but I'm not too nervous. I'll get my results for the English and German finals sometime next week as well.
Tonight I was at an Oktoberfest gathering/party/insert a more fitting word here. There was loud music, dancing, and a lot of drinking... except for me. I'm still a little less than three weeks too young to drink. ^^
I really should go to bed. It's almost 5 am. If I stay up much later, I'll be going to bed the same time I have to get up for school on Monday.

Absolutely nothing
is going on in my life. I mean nothing. Rosh Hashana is tomorrow, which means I have to miss school. I don't mind missing high school, but anthro has proven itself to be a pretty cool class.
Haha Nee-sa! I don't have to do college apps!
Oh yeah! I got two chinchillas. They are the cutest little things I have ever seen.

heyloo

Lets see, i went to see Rancid on friday, they were awesome as usual. I had to choose between horrorpops and rancid for that night but im glad i chose rancid.
Saw Tiger Army last week.
UMMMM. Last week we made cheescakes...and now im good with cheescake that i wont need to eat it for the rest of the year. But goddamn they were good.
Last weeks at school was just overall fun and chill. The culinary class had thier final and had a carnival theme so we took an hour out of class and went to gorge on carnival-like food.
I dont know what else to saaay! OH if any of you guys have IFC, watch the Henry Rollins show on tuesday at 6:15pm. They are rerunning the episode Placebo is performing.

A BULLDOG with LIPSTICK? Please...
So, I suppose this can be my NorCal-esque contribution to this blog for now? I also gotta say that school's been absolutely heavy. Anyways...
My classes are French 3, Advanced Treble Choir, Anatomy, Intro to Dance, World Civ., English 10 Honors, and Trigonometry. All of them could be considered okay and even great, but man, some of my teachers are just really not that great at their jobs. This weekend is my Retreat with the rest of ATC (the choir) where there will be much singing and practicing, but little if nothing to do with AFI or the DF (:()
Today, I got barked at by a pomeranian I swear weighed about 20 pounds... the thing was huge! And my drum lessons have been going well; I recently got offered a position in a band as their fill-in/semi-permanent drummer for now. I also recently learned how to PROPERLY make enchiladas... yum!
Anyways, how's everyone's week going thus far? Hopefully as good as mine.
Oh, and any news on the EP or the new album that's DF-exclusive?
P.S. I totally agree with what everyone's been saying about Palin... if she gets elected, America's probably going to hell in a handbasket. Man, sometimes I think California needs to be its own country!

i'm not sure what to put here...
hey dudes. so basically, i'm attributing my inactivity on this blog to the commencement of school.
but i saw lucy and sabrina at the force show a couple weeks ago! yay!
so, COLLEGE APPS. they SUCK. but i guess i'll get through it. i don't really want to talk about that because i'm going to get really worked up about it, but pretty much, it's at the point where i'm having dreams about getting into college.
this year i'm taking:
1: us gov/econ (a semester of gov and a semester of econ)
2: ap environmental science
3: ap calculus ab
4: journalism 3 (school paper)
5: english 4/wise (i'll explain below)
6: ap art 4
so wise is a nation-wide program, where you do a year's worth of english class in one semester, and then second semester, you do your wise project. i forget what "wise" actually stands for. but it's like an exploration/research project on a subject of your choosing. you keep a weekly journal, have a faculty advisor, and the bulk of your project is your "third space." (your first space is hime, second is school, and your third space is a place where you can practice or learn about your topic. this could be a job, internship, or class at community college. a lot of people do art-based projects, so their thrid space could incluse stidio time.) instead of attending five fifty-minute classes everyweek, you get the period off, and you make up that time in your third space.
anyway yeah, that's about it.
i'm going to l.a. at the end of october and i'm going to see the faint on november 8th.

A dead frog! I mean blog!
So school has started up again. How does everyone like their classes?
I'm taking History of Western Civilization, History of Art II, Chemistry 002, Government, English, and Anthropology. It's a pretty full schedule, but it keeps me busy and I like that.
The boys have decided that the fancy, expensive spinning exercise wheel I just bought them is only good for pooping on and hiding behind. Lovely.
So, Palin. I can't believe that is actually working. People are actually falling for her. No comprendo. I have a feeling I will lose a lot of faith in this country in the next fifty days.
So, blog. Tell me about your fascinating lives.

updates shmupdates!
so...the jonas brothers concert was AMAZING! i'll write about it:
SO. they had pyrotechnics, #1. #2, they did a cover of shania twain's "gonna getcha good". #3, nick jonas did like a 15-minute solo/song/thing about how he has diabetes. AND they did all these flips and stuff and in one part, they were on platforms like 15 feet in the air. and during "burnin up," big rob came out and rapped (if you know what i'm talking about, i silently applaud you). AND joe jonas tap-danced in one song. FOR REAL. omigod. and you know how before shows, sometimes you can text things in and they show it on the jumbotrons? so people would text things like "scream if you love the jonas brothers," etc, but i texted "the city of orinda loves kevin jonas". it was hilarious, and it came up, but i didn't get a picture. i wish i did. i bought a t-shirt and a poster and a pin pack. i probably spent more money on that merch than everything else i have bought this entire year combined. not rly, but you get it.
and i think i found someone to go to see the faint with :)
(i mean, i know i'm meeting up with lucy, but i still didn't want to show up alone...)
i've started feeling semi-indifferent about work instead of hating it, which is good.
we have thursday meetings at work, but i didn't go last week because of the jonas brothers show. but my coworker told me that she saw the lead singer of boys like girls and joel madden with nicole richie walking around after work. we work near telegraph and boys like girls and good charlotte did a show in berkeley that night. with metro station. i kinda wished i had gone. i would have if it weren't for the jonas brothers...but it was a decision i had to make, right?
oh yeah, and i just did the cover art for this band, the fogotten archetype:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=160175397
i did the drawing, NOT the coloring. i actually HATE the coloring. it's hard when i did that whole drawing and then they wanted someone else to do digital coloring on it (i can't do that), and then whoever they got to do it totally ruined it. but it's the pic on the top of their myspace page, and in their player with their new songs. you can download their album for free out of a couple links in their most recent blog.
k, so that's it for now, this is long.
here's one of my favorite jo bros songs...the video is amazing. the end is FUNNY too. watch it doodz:

i did the drawing, NOT the coloring. i actually HATE the coloring. it's hard when i did that whole drawing and then they wanted someone else to do digital coloring on it (i can't do that), and then whoever they got to do it totally ruined it. but it's the pic on the top of their myspace page, and in their player with their new songs. you can download their album for free out of a couple links in their most recent blog.
k, so that's it for now, this is long.
here's one of my favorite jo bros songs...the video is amazing. the end is FUNNY too. watch it doodz:
Is anyone off having fun in SF today?
I overslept this morning and there wasn't enough time to get up there. Oh well. How is/was the convention for those who went/are there right now because I don't think it has ended yet?
So, my parents...
...BANNED me from the DF. Updates, anyone? I have no access to it anymore :(

Update
So heeellooo!
I was at the fair today and had this muffin sized red velvet cupcake with a massive load of cream cheese frosting and pink sugar on top....it took 3 hours for it to be totally gone, but i ate it all by myself. I dont think you are supossed to, but i did anyways.
I want to buy a a guinnie(sp?) pig, i wanted a duck today but my mom said no. *cries* They were only $5!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been hella sick for the last 2 weeks and i FINALLY went to the doctor and she said theres nothing wrong with me, and I just need to wait it all out. so that sucks.
I start school on monday! omgimfreakingout!
Nothing else is going on, i need to get ready to move, but i dont need to take a whole lot.
OH and i got new makeup! <333
ummm, i entered, or think i entered, a contest to see Mika in paris, just another thing that i've been doing today.
The whole system is retarded and no one really knows how you win becasue the entry form just signs you up for the mailing list...but the email to enter was sent out to people on the mailing list....telling you to enter the mailing list....WTF.
I dont really know, but i entered by 5 different emails anyways.
~lucy~
p.s. have any of you seen the movie Adam and Steve?
Its so stupid but funny...and i've seen it waaay to many times, i always watch it when its on.
I dont know why i am wondering this now.
"he lied about what he looked like, he was 20 years older, 50 pounds heavier, shorter...well he was a midget, or a dwarf, i get those mixed up. He had crossed eyes, burns all over his face...um...no ears and i think he was born with a hairlip, but that may have been from the fire. I just dont think he should have lied about those things.....i told him that, you know, after we had sex."
thats my favorite...even though i jacked the quote up.

First Entry in Germany!
Hi everyone =)
I'm having a good time. I'm visiting my aunt right now, but I won't say where in case some creeper is lurking this blog. Anyway, I watched to championship game of Euro 2008 in a bar with my family, but Germany lost to Spain. I don't really care that much, but a lot of people aren't going to be in a very good mood tomorrow.
Because of the good weather I went to a lake today, and yesterday I went hiking.
Last week I went to school for two days to meet my class. They seemed pretty nice. It was their last week of school, so it's not like I had to learn anything. It was just to get to know the people.
Supermarkets are exciting again! =D
Also, for some reason they play a lot of Backstreet Boys here. Okay, maybe not a lot, but more than I hear in California.
That's all! I should probably go to bed soon, it's late here.

Random updates
Hey guys. What's new? (That's an actual question by the way, not just one of those annoying questions that people ask just to say something). How's Germany, Lena?
New things in my life? Hm. I'm getting my room painted on the 7th. I just spent about ten minutes on the paint company's webpage searching for the colour to show you guys, but I couldn't find it. As of now the walls are decorated in half ugly wallpaper, half the yellow underside of the wallpaper that refused o come off and bits and pieces of the white wall shinging through near the ceiling.
Also I received a MacBook last week and it is really nice. It is a bit weird adjusting to using a Mac, but I'll manage.
The Reduced Shakespeare Company is in town (well San Jose, but that's close enough), but I don't have enough money to go. It's okay though, I've heard the Great Works isn't their best anyways.
Anyone know of any good comedy troupes? I like laughing. I like good sketch comedy a lot.

I know something I won't tell... about Hunter Burgan.
I don't want to spoil Hunter's news and all, but... I'm willing to leak it to you guys, I guess... can you keep a secret?
OH HAI
I'm at the airport! Waiting for the flight. Then I wait at the other airport for five hours (!), and then I'm on my way to Deutschland for a million hours.
I'll miss you guys!
That's all. =)

Oh my goodness. I just found the one cupcake of Nee-sa's that was left. I took two of them home with me and ate one... and then I put the other one in the plastic box under a pillow. I don't even remember why. Maybe I wanted to hide it from someone. I'm debating on whether I should eat it or not. It looks fine. But... I don't know. Thoughts?
So yeah. I leave Thursday; ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm pretty excited. I've made a million lists on what I'm taking, what I'm doing before I leave, etc. My one shelf is usually clean, but it's really messy right now because I decided that if I pick up a random thing that I want to take, I'll put it in there. Something that I think I'd forget.
This week has been kinda sad though, I said goodbye to so many people. And I miss you guys! =(
Tomorrow... er, today, is my sister's birthday. She will be... is... ten! Some of her friends are coming in the afternoon. I think I will flee my house for a while then.
I'm the worst poster ever. Sorry! I should attempt to post more often.

My trip to the glasses store
I just went down to the Site for Sore Eyes downtown to get a pair of prescription sunglasses. The ones I wanted were really expensive, but it turns out insurance covers half of it so I got them anyways. Yay!
Then the lady that was working was talking about how she needed someone to replace the lady who works on Sundays and I was like "I'll work" so I'm going down there tomorrow to talk to the lady who is leaving and seeing if it looks like it will work out. That'd be so sick if it does because I would be the only person working in the store so I wouldn't have to deal with bitchy coworkers. Knock on wood (nine times).
Then I got daily contacts for shows and the lady gave me a pair of free purple colour contacts.
Yay.

Whores conducted business in this house
but now my friend lives here and I cannot fall asleep. I am so very bored. I'm done with regular school, but I have to start Algebra II next Monday. NO FUN. I just almost wrote on my friend's whiteboard in Sharpie because it looked like a washable marker.
I was watching The Golden Compass a little while ago and it is pretty good. When people turn books into movies it seems to be important (especially for the children's roles) that the actors are cast for their love of the book and not necessarily physical appearance. I mean the child who plays Lyra doesn't look at all like I imagined her, but she is perfect because she wanted the role so she could be Lyra and not because she wanted to act. The same goes for Neville and Luna in the Harry Potter movies. Oh my god Evanna Lynch (Luna) is the most adorable person ever.
My friend is trying to drag me to The Matches concert next month, but I don't really feel like putting the effort into getting to and from the city for a band I don't particularly like. Quite frankly I don't think that someone 40,000 dollars in debt should be wasting his money on a concert ticket anyways, but I'm so over trying to talk some sense into that kid.
Damn I'm rambling so much right now. Can I just say I LOVE having the internet in the middle of the night? My dad feels the need to turn it off at 10:30 every night, but here I can post at 2:3o at night. This makes insomnia so much more bearable. I guess it is kind of a good thing that I lose the internet duirng the night or you would probably see a lot more of these random trains of thought.
This house gets really creepy at night. It is very dark and I don't know where any of the lightswitches are. It makes a lot of strange noises. I bet there is a ghost of some dead prostitute waiting to jump out and kill me.
I need to stop typing now. To anyone who actually read all of this and followed it: Kudos. Kudos.

Augusten Burroughs and The Cure...
...are both really great. I love them both.
Lucy, thanks for posting so much about what books to get. I probably would have had no idea where to start. As it is, I'm now reading 'Magical Thinking' and it's one of the best books I've read!

Three years and seven teachers later...
I'm finally done with all the Italian classes I ever need to take. Ever. I'm done. FINALLY. I wanted to dance as soon as I got out of that fucking classroom. YES!!!
I got out of presenting my community service project in front of the class which was lovely, so I should be done with school by about 1:00 today and then I have to go make up some english work and then I'm done with my spring courses. Wonderful.
No more Italian ever. Ever ever ever!!! Yay!!!

So, we have about 17 days left...
Lame title, I know. Anyways...
There has been NOTHING but windy weather here lately! I swear, I could easily be convinced that Davis is in some kind of vacuum or something, thus we do not get normal weather. It's either been 106 without a breeze, or super windy.
I'm failing math.
On a somewhat happier note (I don't like the amount of angst in the above paragraph), my mom is graduating next week, so I get to go film her walking to get her Psy.D. Hell yeah!
Okay, that's about it from me for now.
1-2-3-4-5-6...

Well isn't that just lovely
I woke up three hours early so I could go in and talk to the instructor for the lab portion of my class (who is not the same person as the regular teacher) during one of his finals, but I got the date wrong. Now I get to do it again tomorrow. Uh.
I don't really have anything to say, but nobody has posted in forever. Oh I know! I made soy chai popsicles last night and they were not very delicious, but it was still exciting. I made them in star shapes.
The girl sitting in front of me is wearing a(n?) horrendously ugly shirt.
I'M GONNA CREATE A POLL!!! That's such an exciting idea. You have no idea. Now I get to figure out how.
Edit: I don't have the tab for creating a poll. I bet only Nee-sa does because she created the blog. Now I'm sad.

i posted a bulletin about this, but if you didn't see it...
the 12-hour field trip from HELL:
so. i left the house this morning at 6:15 am to be at school in time, because the buses were leaving at 6:30. and i didn't get back to school until 6:15 pm. NOT FUCKING KIDDING.
YEAH. 2 HOURS AND 15 MINUTES LATE, SON!
AND keep in mind that only THREE (3) of those TWELVE (12) hours were spent at the desitiantion......the other NINE (9) were spent on a NINETY (90) degree, sticky plastic seat bus in the middle of bumper-to-bumper traffic with no air flow moving through the bus whatsoever. OMIGOD THERE WERE LIKE PUDDLES OF SWEAT ON EVERYONE'S SEATS.
we thought we were going to die...which resulted in a few pretty funny pics that'll be up on facebook in the next few days....
(lucy, i called you from the bus home at one point...)
so, for french we went to "language day" at the language defense institute (idk what it's called) in monterey, and it's where military people learn languages, so it's on a military base.
the ride there was alright, i just slept the whole time. other than the fact that i got extremely sunburned, the place was really fun, and they had super great food.
but then the ride home came. omigod.
what i don't understand, though, is that the spanish bus from our school (i was on the french bus) left monterey after us, but got back home an hour before us.
so anyway, we get on the bus - its hot, but at least since we're on the freeway there's a breeze coming though the windows. then, we just hit a wall of traffic, basically.
and it's still like over 80 degrees OUSIDE, so INSIDE the bus was even hotter.
i swear to god, we had all soaked through the butts of our pants because the plastic seats were making us sweat so much.
we tried to pass the time with hangman, taking random photos, drawing, origami...ANYTHING to keep our minds off the fact that everyone on the bus is out of water and we're basically ging to die in the middle of the freeway.
finally we got to fremont. we were finally in an identifiable city, not just endless hills of dry, brown grass.
but then we got off the freeway.
wha...?
what the fuck, we're already super late, so now you're going to try to make some shortcut that's going to get us lost and we're going to die. and THEN, at the same time, a girl on the bus was having some sort of heat sickness, so we had to stop at a gas station, but that turned into mini trips to the nearby jamba juice, starbucks, and noah's. so there goes another half hour.
the sick girl stayed with her mom in fremont, and her dad came to pick them up.
so basically, we started out with a full bus, and lost two people because it got SO INTENSE that they couldn't handle it.
so. we find the freeway again, hit the all-too-familiar wall of traffic. and we pass a cemetary. we are certain that this is some kind of omen. like, um, YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE ON THAT 90 DEGREE STICKY, HOT, SWEATY BUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AH!
it is seriously the most miserable thing i have experienced in a REALLY REALLY really long time.
the only way you can fully understand how bad it all was, was if you were there. although i did leave messages on a few people's phones, explaining that i was going to die on this bus in the middle of nowhere.
we get a call from people on the spanish bus that they have arrived back at miramonte, meanwhile we are stuck in...guess what? a WALL OF TRAFFIC going through the main vein of hayward.
we finally got to the freeway, and got home eventually....people cheered when we got to the caldecot tunnel...
i mean. it was SO FUCKING REDICULOUS. i can't even beleive how this whole thing went down. it was so hot (obviously), we had no water ar anything (for a while), and if you didn't already pick this up, we all thought we were going to die of heat stroke right there. we had already stripped down to the most minimal amount of clothing we all could. people were lying on the floor of the bus, waiting to die. you couldn't even sleep if you wanted to because it was so hot.
i don't evenknow what else to say, except to reiterate the fact that this whole ordeal spanned a total of twelve hours.
yes.
i need to go to bed now.
so. i left the house this morning at 6:15 am to be at school in time, because the buses were leaving at 6:30. and i didn't get back to school until 6:15 pm. NOT FUCKING KIDDING.

it is seriously the most miserable thing i have experienced in a REALLY REALLY really long time.
the only way you can fully understand how bad it all was, was if you were there. although i did leave messages on a few people's phones, explaining that i was going to die on this bus in the middle of nowhere.
we get a call from people on the spanish bus that they have arrived back at miramonte, meanwhile we are stuck in...guess what? a WALL OF TRAFFIC going through the main vein of hayward.
we finally got to the freeway, and got home eventually....people cheered when we got to the caldecot tunnel...
i mean. it was SO FUCKING REDICULOUS. i can't even beleive how this whole thing went down. it was so hot (obviously), we had no water ar anything (for a while), and if you didn't already pick this up, we all thought we were going to die of heat stroke right there. we had already stripped down to the most minimal amount of clothing we all could. people were lying on the floor of the bus, waiting to die. you couldn't even sleep if you wanted to because it was so hot.
i don't evenknow what else to say, except to reiterate the fact that this whole ordeal spanned a total of twelve hours.
yes.
i need to go to bed now.

California just legalized same-sex marriage
!!!
The State Supreme Court just voted this morning. Pretty epic.
I just BSed the history portion of the STAR test because I wasn't feeling well. My teacher gave me a disappointed face and was like "is that your best work" then when I kinda mumbled "yes" she was like "that's too bad" and now I feel kinda bad. It occurred to me afterwards that it can actually impact her job because they look at how well the students of each teacher perform. I forgot that part. I kinda want to apologize but I don't really do that and if I try I end up making things worse.
Kay I guess that's all for now. Oh yeah, I have Benny Lava stuck in my head.

i bought something amazing last weekend, but i think only like five people know about it.
i'm so bored. i have a habit of coming on here and just typing whatever comes into my head....i feel like i want to go to longs and buy candy and cheap ass cosmetics. that's like...what i DO when i'm bored. but ACTUALLY, i'm not going to lie....n.y.c. makes an awesome highlighting stick. i use it like everyday. and it was like $2.
but i'm like...what the hell do they put in that shit that makes it so cheap? like...what am i putting on my face?
oh, the glory of cheap cosmetics.
oh, i never told the blog about how last week, i kind of nicked (sp?) this girl's car in the parking lot at school. but she's my friend, and her parents didn't care, so i don't have to pay for it! we had already agreed not to go through the insurance company if she wanted me to pay to fix it (rates would have gone through the roof for both of us). but her parents didn't care...it seriously was NOTHING, though. for realz. my car was worse off than hers was, and my parents didn't even notice AT ALL.
all that happened was my car got slightly scratched, and her car just got white paint (off my car) on it.
in video we just watched amelie. it's the greatest movie ever. although i have found that i have a low tolerance for watching movies more than once, or reading books more than once. for movies, at least, i just fall asleep if i've already seen it. and with books i get bored the second time around and stop reading it. the only time this doesn't apply is if it's harry potter.
know what's the best? canned air. like what you use to dust off a computer keyboard. i have two cans of it now (after ther water-on-the-laptop incident, everyone's monitering my computer-cleaning habits). but i like to just shoot it at random stuff, and the can get's all cold, and it feels good. it smells weird. but my kitty is scared of it.
tomorrow i have to do the essay part of my us history final, and i'm SO FREAKED OUT. she gave us SIX topics to study ahead of time, and tomorrow, she'll give us two of those six to choose from, and we write on one of them. so, theoretically, i have to study five of the six topics.
i'm SO FUCKED I'M SO BAD AT HISTORY!!!!! AHHHH!
anf on friday i have to be at school at 630AM to go on a field trip to monterey WTF????
but i'm like...what the hell do they put in that shit that makes it so cheap? like...what am i putting on my face?

I'm pretty sure Ghostie is that one chick from bowling
I'm almost positive. Now I am totally positive because I checked in the unpublished blogs area and she started an introduction. There is no way I am taking the time to resize that picture because I am lazy. Actually maybe I will, but I doubt it. I tried and failed so it is staying as is. Okay it cut off the side of the picture with the Ghostie person in it. Beautiful. Fixed it. This paragraph was typed over the course of about ten minutes.
On another note, I really dislike the idea of summer school. I am so confused as to why I am taking it. Math no less.
I'm trying very hard to think of something interesting to talk about.
I'm failing.
I'll try to post later when I have something interesting to talk about.

Why is it so hard to think of a title?
You know, wireless internet systems have to be named so the computer can recognize it, or something. And the one for my house is called AFI.
Nee-sa, we can't kick you out, you're the author/creator/someone important!
I've known about Tokio Hotel since December 2005. They released their first album as Tokio Hotel that previous September... and almost no one knew them when they were Devilish.
Why is it so hot? I just checked the weather, and tomorrow is supposed to be as hot as the record high in 1972. Here in the South Bay.
Nice tattoo, Lucy. =)
Blah I'm really unmotivated right now, which is very uncharacteristic of me.
I have to start paying attention to comments people leave to each blog entry.
I thought I was going to say something else, but now I can't remember... maybe there was nothing.

...call your internet "AFI"?
what?
i think i'm going to try to post in here everyday. i think if we all do, that'll keep it going...last week was a really slow week for the ol' bloggy blog.
i bet i'll post in here everyday and then start to annoy everyone and then get kicked out.
and luy, ima get you THE BEST house (apartment?) warming gift EVER. just wait.
and about the tokio hotel thing: i had heard their name in passing before they released the english album, but i never really heard their music until jade remixed "ready set go".
who is "ghostie"? i never figured it out, and i'm the one that invited everyone...
my foot's asleep.
omigod, ,so i applied to intern at the daily cal (cal's student newspaper) this summer, and my friend from school already got a call and she has a phone interview ina few days...but i haven't heard from them at all, and i'm freaking out. like...in actuality, i feel like there's no way they would take her and not me, but i felt the same way about this other program i applied for, and my friend andra got in and i got waitlisted. so i emailed the lady in charge of the daily cal internships just now to confirm that she got my application, so i hope i hear from her soon.
speaking of journalism, things have been crazy within my newspaper staff lately...we recently got our positions for next year (as you may know :) ), so for our last issue, we've been taking on our new roles, kind of as a trial run so that we can see what next year will be like while still having support by this year's editors. we have two e-i-cs, but i feel like cassie (the other e-i-c) doesn't do NEAR as much as i do. during meetings and stuff, i feel like i do everything while she just sits there. like...during brainstorm, i was at the front of the room writing down everyone's ideas, and cassie just sat there. and everyone started getting really loud, but when it's just me up there by myself yelling at them, that's extremely ineffective. so i shot one of those looks at cassie like "hellOoOOoo? help!" and she just sat there...am i the only one who thinks it's not only lame, but completely unacceptable that we supposedly share the position, and yet i'm standing in the front of the room leading meetings BY MYSELF, while she sits there and does NOTHING.
...even though we both have the same titile, i can tell that next year it will become apparent who holds the power.

Around midnight...
Teehee, Nee-sa, teehee. ^^
I have to agree though, Bill looks better with his hair down than with his hair all weird.
I think it's funny how a lot of random people now know about Tokio Hotel because they released an album here. But I have this one friend who is completely and totally obsessed with them. She started learning German because of them; she and I met because I am German; I knew that her favorite band was Tokio Hotel before I even knew her name.
And yay, I seem to have revived the blog a bit! =)
School is fine for me right now... except I've had a lot of projects due and assigned in the past couple weeks. The teachers should spread all their material out throughout the year instead of trying to fit a lot in the last six weeks. o_O
Report cards came last week.
Why does my internet seem to lag at this time, and this time only? It's probably an omen. It wants me to go to bed and leave it alone for a couple hours. Oh, and I convinced my dad to call our internet AFI. Heh.
Anyway, good night.
Lena

Augusten Burroughs is probably my favorite person on this planet right now.Like he was hilarious and sincere and soo so so sweet.
I was shaking when i went to talk to him...ah!
-Lucy-
p.s. the resizing of the pix makes me look like im crying in the 1st one and like a monkey in the 2nd.
I was not crying (surprisingly) and im not a monkey....haha
hello.
school sucks right now for me. i have an incomplete in video production because of this ONE GIRL that was in my group for our latest video project...
other than that, i've been passing my time on polyvore.com, and fangirling over bill kaulitz....lena knows.....lol.
...but seriously. his hair is fucking weird, but the pics of him with it down are HOT.
so basically i'm sitting around wearing these glasses, because somehow i think they're going to make me more productive:
yeah. idk i'm really bored. random seniors are adding me on facebook.

Procrastination's a bitch
I've got a seven page paper to write today and I don't even know what it is supposed to be on. The only information the teacher gave us is that we need to "research two social problems." Okay... I also have to go to karate tonight and walk the dog. Boo.
Next week is finals week and then I'm done for a week or so before summer classes. Algebra. No fun.
Oh! On Saturday I had to go to my best friend's little sister's Bat Mitzvah. Someone please expalin to me what kind of person has a chinese themed Bat Mitzvah party? I do not understand that child.
That's all I think. Lucy, what is a good book of Augusten Burroughs' to start with. I've still got most of Kushiel's to work through, but I like having a wait list.
