Write 20 random facts about yourself then tag the same amount of people as minutes it takes you to write the facts. If you're tagged it's your turn.
[1]. Over the summer I got really addicted to classic old movies thanks to liz and aaron, and I have to say that Casablanca is perhaps the best love story, ever.
[2]. I got up at five in the morning to stand in line so that I could see the Dalai Lama when he comes to Austin this month. SOOOO freaking excited.
[3]. I really like ballet because it helps me pretend I'm elegant.
[4]. Dean Martin can make me cry, if I'm in the mood.
[5]. I like theatre not because I can act, but because of all the wonderful people in it.
[6]. I find US History to be the worlds most boring subject, even though Mr. Thorpe is amazing.
[7]. I want to go back to Rome.
[8]. My best friend's a boy who prefers to be called Monty.
[9]. I want to marry Sondre Lerche, even though he's already taken.
[10]. Same with Jason Mraz.
[11]. Same with Frank Sinatra, only he's dead.
[12]. I stress myself out to the point of tears sometimes and don't even know why.
[13]. I've spent two months trying to read "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut, only because I want to savor everything. Its that good.
[14]. When I turn 18 I want to go skydiving so I can know what it feels like to fly.
[15]. I'm also getting a tattoo; of what I still don't know.
[16]. I have one of those Catholic candles in my room with Mother Theresa's face on it, and light it whenever I'm feeling really selfish. I don't know why, but I like it.
[17]. I don't care what the context is: any war anywhere is pointless and wasteful.
[18]. I like making jewelry...a lot. Ask if you'd like to make you something.
[19]. I could never be on a sports team because frankly I suck because I'm slow, but I enjoy running because it allows me to set my own pace.
AND FINALLY:
[20]. I'm having a birthday party on October 1st at my dads. TSUP will be playing, as well as possibly Liz&Alex's band? That would be really awesome.
Anyhow, if you'd like to go and I don't talk to you on a regular basis, leave me your email or something and I'll send you the info.

Please,
go and see The Constant Gardener.
Best movie I've seen all year.
And oh yeah,
life is awesome when, for your birthday
your aunt gets you hooked up
with a ninteen year old political activist at an art gallery.
I seriously don't even know what to think. |

[Aug. 31st, 2005|08:22 pm] |
hmm so GSA...
i think i'm loving it.
PS; hey wow, so, here's the most beautiful woman in the entire world, Ava Gardner:
I dont think I could be more jealous.
Every single movie she's in is amazing.
PPS; october first is looking to be an amazing day :) |
|
|
| i think im becoming my father. |
[Aug. 28th, 2005|10:16 pm] |
Today was just completely awesome.
I really could not have asked for a more perfect day, between the slime/chicken/wheat thin battles and being Peter-Pan Indians with Jen. What a completely lovely/relaxing way to end the weekend. |
|
|
| oops. |
[Aug. 24th, 2005|12:10 am] |
What should I do for my 17th birthday party?
I would give anything for a few suggestions right now. |

I followed Aaron's advice today about taking time out to just chill, and I have to say it was completely worth it. I hope I have more days when I have only two hours of homework [not that I've finished it, by any means]. Today I ran around town lake/sat on the banks and watched the swans swim by. Complete relaxation. My favorite ones are these three immature swans that I've seen ever since they were itty bitty. Now theyre the size of the bigger, more beautiful ones, but for some reason I kinda wish they'd stay that way. They're so pretty when they're gray. I think maybe its because they remind me of myself.
I'm not gonna deny it, school is very, very hard. I think I expected it to be so, but not this quickly. Its intense, but I like my teachers so I'm sure it'll even out in the end.
PS; OMG WEBSTERS HAVING HER BABY!!! |

I just don't know what to say.
I mean normally, I have some stupid comment that makes me look/sound like a complete moron in just about every situation, but this has me absolutely dumbfounded. I'm not quite sure how to move on out from here.
School starts tomorrow. Haha, I never thought I'd live to see my junior year at AHS, but I suppose life surprises you sometimes. The one thing I hope is that this year has considerably less breakdowns than the one before it.
I dont want to regret allowing myself to care about someone this much when I knew that this was the way it was supposted to end. So why am I handling it like this? I don't even know myself.
I don't even know myself, and the fact that I can say that honestly only demonstrates how very immature I am. Why the hell am I already thinking about relationships, then? I might ruin something really amazing that I've only recently acquired just because I cant get everything I want. I suppose with this sort of thing, "only time will tell" and it asks for my patience.
Yesterday was wonderful at the Ten Thousand Villages partay with major discounts, fingerpainting, feet in toilets, whitewine sangria!!!!, and much, much more. If only my stupid camera were'nt broken...
So cheers to all you college folk. I envy you...you and your new oppurtunities and elongated summers.
EDIT//: So am I the only one that felt that summer was less of a summer and more like a winter break? That when we returned from this major vacation, I'd just go back to exactly wherever we left off, seeing the same faces, walking the same hallways, in the same manner that we did before? I think mayhaps I'm just going into some crazy denial and refuse to believe that I could ever possibly be an upperclassman and that some of the people I had gotten so very close to wont be the the same school as me anymore. It's rather sad. |

Sooo, I'm basically really good friends with the greatest
spaniards/mexicans on the face of the entire planet.
As the summer's ending, I realize that I'm gonna miss yall so very much,
and I mean that in the least cheesy way possible.
You truly have changed my life.
That's all.
Also:
 I taste like Menthol.
I am refreshingly different; some people don't appreciate that. My sharp honesty gets up some people's noses, while others really enjoy it. I am something of an acquired taste. What Flavour Are You?

Sometimes I wonder if I'll end up writing something memorable in here, that I'll look back on here, die laughing, and think "what a silly little sixteenyearold I was, worrying about stupid things that don't matter".
Wow, seventeen is coming up. It seems like only yesterday I was ten, honestly. I don't even think I've changed that much. |

[Aug. 8th, 2005|06:18 pm] |
All I had to do was spend a little less time this morning sleeping and get up at 7am for Maroon Roundup and suddenly its like my entire day is ruined. I swear, I was like the incredible hulk today (except female, smaller, and less green, but you get the picture). Actually...I mean its not like that was the only thing that was bugging me. I never went to my Roundup or whatever, i mean not really. I was there for the last few minutes of mine when i wasnt even sure I'd be going to that school. That day I had to go before a lawyer and tell them my life's story and what parent I wanted to live with and why. That day when it was just a tease, because i wanted to go to AHS sooooo baaaad because generations of my family had, and it seemed unreal that someday I could possibly walk down those hallways as alumni. Its funny now to me that I could possibly be so jaded when going to this school was my "life's dream". All things considered, I'm a complete moron.
Also, wtf? Peter Jennings died?
PS; women, like this stupid Kay O'Conner, piss me off like no other:
"I'm an old-fashioned woman. Men should take care of women, and if men were taking care of women today, we wouldn't have to vote."
EDIT//:it's really funny...the only time i feel really "spiritual" anymore is on dark summer nights [like tonight] when i stand in the middle of my yard, and [with my eyes closed] lift my palms to the sky. I can't explain it, but its the most beautiful feeling ever; you should try it sometime. |

TONIGHT @ 7PM
AT THE ZILKER PARK PEACE GROVE
60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BOMBINGS ON HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI
Guest speaker Dr. Satoru Konishi, who witnessed first-hand the destruction of Hiroshima in 1945.
The ceremony is free, live music, paper cranes, and ending with a candle floating ceremony.
Be there.
EDIT//: it was so extremely worth it. Actually hearing Konishi talk was one of the most chilling experiences of my life and it was horrible to hear what the aftermath of the blast was actually like. I think my sister and I mustve smuggled about ten paper peace cranes out with us. But what really got to me was the ending, the candle floating ceremony. Hundreds of white paper bags with teacandles nestled inside them were eased into the water; it was just so symbolic, like little vessels of shining hope in the midst of a world full of darkness. Okay I'll stop being cheesy now.
EDIT//: oh god, rush limbaugh;

Hey so, I'm volunteering at Ten Thousand Villages from 1:30-5:30 so be kind and stop by please.
Aaaaaaaaand...I sort of like this guy. And I sort of dont think its mutual, which is okay with me for the time being, but for the life of me I dont know what to do about it. I was sort of thinking I would let it go and wait, see what happens next, except for the fact that I'm incredibly impatient. Not that I have any bit of relationship experience to help me out in the meantime...life is wonderful, ain't it? |

|

Man, I just finished Under the Tuscan Sun and I don't care what anyone else may say, that is one incredible movie. It made me feel homesick for a place I never even called my "home", but perhaps took temporary residence. Rome. Florence. Assisi. Gah...I need to go back, I just do. I made a wish at the Trevvi Fountain [two quarters, both eyes closed, coins in right hand, up and over left shoulder] that I'm expecting to be fufilled.
Would it really be such a crazy idea to rent a villa up in Assisi? I think it would possibly be the most refreshing experience of my lifetime, breathing clean, fresh, pure Italian air without Hummer pollution and whatnot [blah]. Eating mouthwatering natural, unpolluted foods freshly picked that morning...you can't imagine the pizza unless you've been. Savory.
I have to say that tonight was rather sad somehow from lack of bartonspringswater in my hair and strange boys on my picnic table outside that freak my mom out [you know you've been sheltered all your life when your mom hands you a rape whistle when she finally comes to terms with the fact you have guy-friends]. But instead I'm sitting here, eating tuna. Lovely.
Oh and Cynthia: I totally bombed the diet today. Stupid Olive Garden and their amazing breadsticks...
One of these days I'll actually write something valuable here. I promise. |

| hahaha...this is so funny to me |

[preferably something original and unique]
PS: cherry-red spraypainted $3 shoes really are awesome. |

| umm so update: |
[Jul. 29th, 2005|01:20 am] |
Tonight was fun. Aaron, me, and a couple of his friends went to Barton Springs for the free-ness after 9, where I was thoroughly freaked out by the creepy lady in the green scarf-mask and black bodysuit [SO CREEPY], then going to magnolia for pancakes and brownies. Yummmmmm
It seems like every single day of the summer keeps getting better than the next, even with the nervousness that actually getting into the college process produces.
(Does it really make me a bad person not to know what I want to do with my life? AGHHH)
I'm still tossing around the idea of actually going into business with Zoe, since it looks like a definite possibility. I set up a table at some sale today and sold every pair of earrings on me within ten minutes; maybe that means something? I sure hope so...one lady said I had "real potential".
So I guess we're down to the countdown, finding out just how many days are left until we go back to school of some kind and I'm really nervous. I just pray that Junior year isn't nearly as bad as everyone says it is; lord knows sophomore year was hard enough. [5 BOOKS! I HAVE 5 BOOKS TO READ AND I'VE ONLY READ ONE/CATCHER IN THE RYE DOESN'T COUNT! HELP?] |

B). The ending to the last Harry Potter book sucked. A lot.

I never imagined saying this,
but it sucks to know i'm not in your life anymore.
This whole year has been one big realization where I try and find out what my priorities are and who is most important to me. Turns out it was nothing like I'd expected.
Not that I dont like the changes taking place.
Anyway, San An with Lindsay was, to say the least, one of the top three highlights of my summer. It was relaxing and lazy and adventuresome and everything inbetween. I love spending time with that girl.
I most certainly look forward to the zoe-lindsey bonding time set to happen later this week, FINALLY fixing up my room, and Katie fixing up my ballet shoes so that I dont look totally new to the dancing scene.

I finally looked at the ACL schedule and came to the conclusion that I'm only going on the third day(COLDPLAY, JASON MRAZ, WILCO, ETC)...
what's everyone else doing?
I've been spending a lot of time with zoe lately, planning out our jewelry business and making things for ourselves. Not only is she a stellar jewelry maker, but shes really fun to shop with as well...
I also might be in love with this costume....hellooooo ugly mermaid tail!
WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS...
...how cool these granny glasses are.

Today i watched my childhood get demolished.
They tore down my montessorri school.
I dont know who, I dont know why, and I dont know if its gone for good or just being remodeled, but it was so hard to watch.
Everything was torn to the ground. Everything. Even the playground.
I saw the Oscar Meyer Weiner truck on that playground, and sang the song, too. I rode a pony in a dumb costume around that playground. I met my oldest friends on that playground.
I'm so upset right now... |
