cold, cold, cold.

The thing I love about Fullerton would have to be the weather. It feels really good. Over here it's a little bit stronger than the IE. Cold is cold and hot is hot.

I missed the first bus this morning from the train. I was writing on my note cards for my speech in HCOM at the last bench not facing where it comes and totally didn't see it come or leave. It was weird realizing that I had totally missed it, when a whole bunch of people take that bus. The next one came at 815, so I was alright. It was just weird.

I can tune out almost anything I really want to. It's a talent and comes in handy for when I'm tired, but I can't even believe it myself.

The last guy, Steve, who gave a speech in my class spoke about studying abroad. I totally want to do that. It seems like so much fun. Since my major is french, I can go to a lot of different places. France would be fun, but expensive. There are other choices such as Morocco, Negev[Israel], Australia, Switzerland, Canada, Spain, Dakar[Senegal in West Africa!], Madagascar, Mali, Niger, Gaudeloupe, or Martinique. But then again la Surbonne sounds really nice.

I want to experience a different culture, and meet as many different people as possible.

body alterations?

well ... for a while now i've wanted to get a tattoo
but i'm not exactly sure what my first one is going to be of.
i also want to get piercings now,
that just happened this week.
here's a picture illustrating where i want them!

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind ...

so i just saw the movie this week.
it is one of the best i've ever seen.
weird ... but great ... that's how i like them




the title comes from part of a poem by Alexander Pope.
it is called Eloisa to Abelard.
Eloisa loves Abelard sooo much, but he doesn't love her back.
she would rather forget him, because of the pain she feels.
lines 207-10

How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot! /
The world forgetting, by the world forgot /
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! /
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.

if you haven't watched this movie, do so.
it's def worth your time.

Jasmin's 18th Birthday

we suprised her @ 12am.
it was fun! here's a video.

it's been a while....

So the stupid blog thingy hasn't been working lately when I tried to post something up ... so I just stopped trying until now.

I don't have enough patience to upload all of my Anathallo pictures right now ... it's sooo frustrating!

This whole week has been pretty boring ... but atleast I didn't have to go to school!

On Monday I went to cut die-cuts for my Mom's classroom, and I dropped it off after visiting my lovely EAC buddies. Sawaya wasn't there because ASB went to CADA. Yesterday was boring. This morning I went to Longs to enlarge two super cute pictures of Reuben when he was little. I took Indiana, and this dog was coming from the hills onto the road. I had to stop and go around it, and luckily the guy behind me saw what I did so he didn't hit him either. That was the scariest thing! So now I'm at the kiosk. Bored.

The whole vegetarian thing is going really good. Johnny's Burger has Vege-burgers, so I've been enjoying them lately. I could go for one right now!

My descision for my future car has been pretty much made up. I want a VW vanagon. The old kind. Or maybe a Karmann Ghia. Here's a picture of the exact van I want.

veganism

Okay so, I officially turned vegetarian today.
I just can't give up fish.
It's the one thing that I love sooo much!
Also, I can't give up leather.
I'm trying to gradually become vegan.
It's hard ... I know, but it's something I have to do for myself.
My first reason for doing this is my health,
I'm selfish, I know, but I don't want cancer or diabetes!
I want to be healthy all of my life.
It's been all good so far ... I want to keep it that way!
My second reason is for the animals.
The whole reason I stopped eating meat/poultry is PETA.
I read a PETA little booklet, and it changed my life.
I couldn't believe everything that it said!
So yeah.
You can laugh.
Or be supportive.
I would love for everybody to do the second one.
And I would really recommend it to everyone else too.
Much Love♥

Threadless, Anathallo, Weekend.

It's going to be awesome!

This weekend is going to be super fun.
First Anathallo and Page France tonight.
Then the LA Fashion District tomorrow morning.
At night hanging out with Melissa, fun stuff!
Finally, Sunday which is SMMOOTH.[always fun for me]

I've finally started making friends in my Math 115 class.
I hung out with Crystal and Priscinda yesterday after we got let out of class early.
It was fun.
I hope I start hanging out with them and some people in my HCOM class more.

I'll put up all of my pictures from this weekend soon.
Maybe some videos too!

Thanx for reading!
Mucha Amor.
Muah.

Election Day 2006

So yesterday was fun. I helped promoting to vote in front of the TSU after HCOM class. People signed the board if they had voted and I passed out tons of stickers. It really made me feel good to help to encourage so many students to vote. These are the pictures that the guy in charge, Abe, took.


























I felt really bad because I hadn't voted yet. I had to wait until I got home because I had to leave for school before the polls opened. When I got there, I was the last voter. It was so cool, I finally was able to vote! Yesterday was awesome.

Before I went to vote my Mom and brother came to pick me up from school and we went to Chain Reaction to buy my ticket for the Anathallo show on Friday. Chain Reaction is sooo cute and little. I love it.

The booking manager sold me the ticket, and was like,"How did you hear of them?" So I told him the story of how I heard of them, and he said that when he booked them like 4 months ago, nobody even knew who they were. And that there are tons more tickets left. I am soo excited! I can't wait!

I hope I get my Threadless! shirt before Friday. I really want to wear it for the show.

Pancake Breakfast - November 06

Well it was a fun morning. The pancake breakfast was a success once again. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy. I wish I had a few more.




The Ultimate Panckake Competition. Nathan won with a practically perfect pancake.



The line where everyone was served.


The crowd.
In the kitchen.

Micheal with Leopaul and his wife.

Public Transportation...

s wonderful. How can be so dumb to think they are too good to ride the train or bus? You ride airplanes, don't you? Same thing! gosh. I love the smell of the bus. It might be the rubber or something, I don't know. When I was little, like 5 or so, I took the Dial-A-Ride to school. The cool thing was that it was free for me because of my age. My parents only had one car at the time, so my Mom couldn't drive me. Actually, I started kindergarten late because we didn't have an extra car. Point? The smell of the bus [inside of course] reminds me of when I was little and I think that's why I like it so much.

Now I ride the train to and from[sometimes] school on tuesdays and thursdays. It is pretty cool, although I wish someone came with me. It gets pretty boring.

It doesn't feel like the middle of the week, more like the end. I love the weather, even though I'm really cold when the wind blows. At least in Fullerton.

I really want to see OkGo. And I can't wait until Anathallo comes to the area. I wish I was 21 so I could go to their shows in 2 bars. Why did they have to book bars? Ughh.

Running with Scissors is like a necessity in my life right now. I want to watch it soo bad.

School still feels a little bit lonely. Well at least in my classes. But I'm definitely opening up, and making new friends. My schedule for Spring semester is perfect. Not too early, not too late. Just right.

The background on my iBook is awesome. I love just looking at it. Format's new ep cover art. Awesome.
