I have a cough. One of those annoying coughs where you just kind of have a persistent tickle in your throat. I can't stop it. It's becoming a throaty, hoarse cough. It is giving me a headache. Oh, the agony.

We just went and saw Catch Me If You Can. It reminded me why I think that Leonardo DiCaprio is cute. Although I still don't understand why he got nominated for a Golden Globe for it. It was good though. I think I'm all movied out, three movies in a week! I'm beginning to feel like my friend Billy. He's a movie whore.

I also went to the park with the family, Part II of the Big Christmas Adventure. Last night it was just sitting around the wanna-be fire pit that my dad set up in the middle of the patio. It was fun though. Eliza said that David and Bruce (brothers-in-law) were making fun of the fact that we don't do anything in this family. Bruce: "David, are you bored?" David: "Out of my MIND!" Bruce: "I'm just sitting here waiting to take a shower and get ready to do nothing." hahaha SO TRUE! We are all talk, and no walk. Or something like that. We say we're gonna do something, but then people get distracted and end up chatting for hours instead. Which is okay. I like to just hang out with people. I'm sorry that I don't live life on the edge.

Eliza walked into my parent's room (where I am) and then walked to the family room (where the other computer is, and kids are sleeping)... and then she walked back in here. She looked sort of lost, and gazed longingly at the screen for a moment. That's what blogging will do to you. It's an addiction. Although I don't understand what she does on the computer. Her blog is never updated. Maybe she has a real life, and sends real emails to people. I miss those days.

Anyway, I also went to Magic Mountain with the FF (F Family). Ah, good times! I forgot how funny it is to hang out with them sometimes. I guess they were using up the free Winegard tickets that the Ws were handing out. So I got a free ride. Pretty exciting. And I hadn't been to Magic Mountain since the 8th grade trip, so it was exciting. Yes.

I also went to dinner with Ian tonight. It was pretty exciting. Beth Stogner "paid" me for accompanying her at that funeral by giving me a gift certificate to Claim Jumper, so I treated. We just had a marvy time. We talked about how I was a heartless wench, and how I lead Butch on. That was a joke though. I thought it was funny that Butch has been trying to call me this week and I've kind of blown him off. It's not funny though. I'm mean. For the most part, I've been with my family for the past three days, though. I'll call him tomorrow.

It just started raining. That was kind of weird. I thought it was the shower dripping. But then it got faster and it began to sound like someone was in the shower, and that wasn't right, so here I am. Listening to the rain. How melodic.

I seriously have the worst headache. I need a cough drop.

Muzak: something by the Smiths. I have no clue what it is, maybe it's rewind weekend on Star or something.
Thing I love of the day: I don't know. I think I just love everything today.

I'm SOOOO hungryyyyy!! We just went and saw The Two Towers, which was just really great. I liked the first one, but this one gave me more closure. And more Orlando Bloom. The world would be better with a few more blonde elves hopping about.

And Merry Christmas, everyone!! I can't believe it came and went so fast. I guess that with our family, it drags out for a while, since...

Okay. It's tomorrow now. I signed off quickly and I can't remember what I was saying.

Naked people! SO WEIRD!! I was so confused. And it was disgusting.

Jack on Will and Grace is funny. And he's kinda hot sometimes when he's not being annoying.

I can't think of anything to say.

Muzak: That Wham one, "Last Christmas, I gave you my heart..." it's kinda stuck in my head.
Thing I love of the day: the fact that I don't work in retail

I just SLAMMED my foot on the corner of the DESK and now there is a tiny (well not really) popped vessel in my foot. I can see it, I can.

Eliza's mad at me because I didn't give her the answer that she wanted to hear!! The blood vessel is getting bigger. But yeah, I guess that Eliza showed my mom Dawn's Christmas present, and Mom liked it so much that she told Eliza that she should have given it to her. And so I told Eliza that Dawn would like the shirt that she was planning to give to Mom, but since Mom already has a pretty tablecloth, she should give it to Dawn. And then she got all mad when I told her to go away. haha but all she was doing was fishing for the answer she wanted... so it seemed like she already knew what she was going to do and she just needed reassurance, so yeah. Now she's angry.

I'm talking to Ian right now. I hate talking online with people that you need to sit down and have a heart to heart with. But OH WELL. This is just going to have to do for now, because both of us are really busy. But I need to VENT!!

Eliza and I and our aunt Donna went to go see Two Weeks Notice today, too. It was entertaining. I think that anything can be entertaining if you add a British accent to it. But Hugh Grant is cute, and funny. He made me laugh a few times in it. And I hated the red-haired chick. I know we aren't supposed to like her, but still. She was a terrible actress.

I'm SO SICK, and I think it's the flu. I've been nauseous, and it's not that fun. We went to IKEA yesterday (yesss!!) and I felt fine, but then around 6ish I felt blah. Maybe I was happy at IKEA because I bought a new comforter cover. And boy, oh boy, is it cute. I love it.

I'm going to go now.

Muzak: Rebel, Rebel - David Bowie
Thing I love of the day: CHRISTMAS!!!

Here I am!! I have been updating, but mostly in the JM blog. Plus, I feel really sick and haven't felt like staring at a screen for hours on end.

Okay, does anyone remember the weird guy from South Carolina, who was stalking me or something?? He's weird. And I think he's full of crap. Not like I'm being led on or anything... I just thought I'd tell you that people who send pictures of themselves, but it's not really them... it's gay. Okay.

So Nicole. I'm glad that I got to see you on Thursday. I was having one mother of a crappy night and everyone just cheered me up! And I was so glad to see Ian too. He did look very... nice. Haha. I'm not saying anything more. =D

I went to the nativity again last night with the little boy I was babysitting for... and it was fun! Talking to Ian is fun. I forget that sometimes he is so frustrating because he makes up for it by being normal. And everyone loved Luke, the boy I was with. He's so polite. And he and Ian and Butch really hit it off.

But now I am SICK!! I just don't know what to do with myself. I've been shuffling around the house with Mom, and I'm waiting for us to go to the family Christmas party. I'm feeling all flu-ey... or... however you could put it. I've been coughing so much that I feel like vomiting, and then that makes me dizzy, and it irritates my throat. So I'm sick all over. But it's okay. I'll pull through. I'm excited to be social. The German Club party is later tonight, and I love hanging out with those people. Kate and Vivian are so cool, I don't hang out with them much outside of school, but they always cheer me up. Plus, I look cute today. And I feel like being social.

Some things that Ian said last night were making me think a lot. I hate sitting all by myself and venting to myself. It's not really venting though. I'm just kind of in therapy with myself, because I don't feel like talking about it with other people. But I'd like to, only because I need ANSWERS!! So I told him last night, "Ian, we need to talk." And he's like "Okay..." and I said "No, Ian. We need to talk." hahaha... it was funny to me... and he understood. And I'm excited about it. We used to sit in the driveway and talk for like 2 hours. I think I need another one of those talks.

Anyway, before I sound any more suspicious, I'm going to go be social. Bye all!

Muzak: that stupid Pearl Jam song... "can't fiiind a bettamaaan"
Thing I love of the day: red. Just... red.

Thing I love of the day: the pouring rain... when you're wearing the right clothes.

Today was the exciting and fun bell choir performance!! It turned out really well. And it was especially exciting that Derek D was there, and he acknowledged me! muahaha... I don't think I've ever talked to him in my entire life. Which is okay, because when he left on his mission I was kind of weird. I still am kind of weird. But he can at least get a good impression of me, right? Right. Me looking all hot and nasty with runny eyeliner. I hate it when I come home and notice that I have black smudges under my eyes... because I'm like "why didn't anyone tell me?" Or maybe they like it.

So anyway, the performance went really well. You would have never known that we pretty much learned the whole thing about two hours earlier. It was super. And Sister C made me feel better. She is a good commiserator, because she was like "Hannah, the unsung hero!"... and she's totally right... because I accompanied like 200 songs, and then I got acknowledged at the end but no one really quite understands the piano player. But I really appreciated that she complimented me, it made me feel really special. Hahaha.

This morning I woke up having conTRACTions or something, I swear it was horrible! And my sweet mom... seriously, I love her... I think I told this story 200 times today... but it was so cute... cuz see, my mom had a hysterectomy on Tuesday, so we should be waiting on her, right? So I'm lying in bed feeling all sad for myself and my mom comes in and is like "Hannah are you okay?" and I'm like "No I feel like I'm gonna have a BABY!" and she's all "Let me get a heating pad for you!" So she goes and microwaves one of those aromatherapy heating pads, and she comes walking down the hall saying "Little Hanula (how they got that nickname, I just don't know)!!" and it was just so cute... I felt like I was three years old. And she's all "Okay, roll over!" and she put the bag on my stomach and it felt good. She's so nice. I love my mom.

Eliza just said that the Gutierrez's, who are in our ward, are having their 8th child... which I knew, but it's a BOY! They have SIX BOYS already! Six boys and ONE GIRL!! Crikey.

She's talking to Matt. Eliza, that is. Traitor! Just kidding.

We bought chocolate milk at the market yesterday, which is so exciting. I love chocolate milk. It makes me happy.

I talked to the old Margaret F today. I really enjoy how she talks about me and Ian like we are future husband and wife. "When Ian gets back from his mission, you both will be juniors in college!" and "When you're in college, the townhouse will be full of people! It will be crazy!" And I love Margaret and everything... but I can't talk like I'm going to marry Ian, haha. It'll be like... I don't know... Nicole, you know what I mean. Like when James announced his engagement, and yeah... it's going to be like that! Argh! If you have any questions about what I mean, which I'm not quite sure about myself... send me an email. hahaha. Ian's a nice guy. I miss having him in California.

So I think I'll go now before I start reminiscing about days of yore. Because there is no time like the present!

Muzak: Is This It? - Frou Frou... I'm not actually listening to it, but it's stuck in my head.
Thing I love of the day: the chocolate milk... mmm... :)

Okay, enough of the quizzes! Today was boring, I pretty much was up at 7 and going the whole day... I babysat from 8ish to 12ish, came home and played the piano and laughed at my funny grandma, talked to Ian online (yes, a first since a long time ago), talked to cousin Joey (funny boy), went to Old Town, bought a Peanuts calendar (it's so hot), went marketing, babysat from 6 to 9... yes... I live life on the edge. I can't believe that I just like recounted my whole day. Err. I suck.

But I did get the calendar. Definitely the highlight of my day.

I really like Gray Street by DMB... I wasn't a fan of him, EVER, not in my life... but since I discovered JM and Star 98.7... I'm addicted. And The Christmas Song. It's so... festive. I don't know, so pretty, I think it's so awesome.

I'm SO COLD. Why am I always cold?? I would like to know. Regardless of where I am, I'm shivering. And I'm not nervous all the time or something... I'll be in a hot room and my hands will be freezing cold. Ah, I suck!

Okay. I'm going to the back computer now.

Muzak: Gray Street - Dave Matthews Band... gotta love it.
Thing I love of the day: my calendar, yo! It's in THREE LANGUAGES... I can read the date in English, French and German!

This girl makes me laugh so hard, she has a poem generator on her website too:

my bad poem:
sad tree

I feel so sad and happy sometimes,
sometimes i want to crash my foot and die,
the tree is so pretty and sad,
the bushes sound like aliens .

I feel so sad and happy ,
nobody understands my nasty , ugly pain ,
I want to run and skip in the rain
the tree reminds me of feeling happy , the bushes mock my cry ,

sometimes i want to crash my foot and die,
underneath the pretty , smart sky

what kind of tard are YOU?


and go to mewing.net.


Hahaha... what is a tard? I wanted to be this one though:





what kind of tard are YOU?


and go to mewing.net.

take the antisocial test.


and go to mewing.net. because laura's feeling social.


Of course I am. Scandalous. The girl even looks like me, braces and all.

I've been doing scholarship application essays for like the past two hours or something like that. I wasn't even planning on doing anything rigorous.

Oh wait, interjection. I just blogged in the JM blog and they're repeating the JM message that I blogged about. It sounds like they're just repeating it... I'm confused. But now they're playing Why Georgia. So it's fine.

Anyway, back to me. It always comes around back to me. Kidding. So yeah, um, I did the apps, and I sent in my BYU application... so I'm home free! I really need to apply for local scholarships now, because I need those. And it's not really likely that I'll get a BYU one. Um, I just hope I get in, hahaha. But now that's over and done with.

I'm not sick any more! I don't think so, at least. I sound fine. I feel fine. Nothing is runny. I have no headache. My voice isn't raspy and John Mayer-y. So I'm all good. I didn't think that I would pull through, at first. But I did!!

David McGraham came to seminary today. And yes, he's hot. And has an Australian accent. Remember, Nicole, when Justin Reed had an accent? Yeah, it's worse than that. Not WORSE, haha, in fact it's very nice, but it's thicker. For certain words, at least. "Eehlderr" instead of "elder," "ahmen" instead of "amen," things like that. It was fun. He's very good looking. I can't get over it.

Butch is coming over to watch Lord of the Rings tonight, because he hasn't seen it and he wants to see it before the new one comes out next week. And I'm excited, because I haven't watched the ol' LOTR in a while... and I enjoy it. You can never get enough elves with long blonde hair. Or Frodo.

Mamasita is home! I'm so excited. Even though I did enjoy Eliza taking care of us, it's nice to have a parent in the house. I mean, this week it was like we were orphans. Dad was at work from like 6 a to 6 p (haha I sound like a Power 106 commercial) and it just didn't have that certain je'nai sequoi. If you know what I mean. I don't think that's how you spell it, but oh well.

I'm so cold, Mr. Guy told me that it was 40 degrees this morning. Okay! Not normal! haha. I like the cold a lot, but I like it even better when I have warm clothes. I don't really have any of those. When I went on a little shopping splurge earlier in September, I bought summer clothes and what not. Now it's not summer no' mo'.

And I wouldn't mind J. Timberlake stalking me either.

Okay, I'm gonna go now. Get a sweatshirt or something. Brush my teeth. I've got chicken enchilada aftertaste.

Muzak: Landslide - Dixie Chicks... yee haw.
Thing I love of the day: CLOSURE.

Well guys, I'm sorry that it's been so long. What with Eliza coming home, Mom having the surgery... I don't know. And I've been sick. I'm not feelin' it. I haven't even really been on the computer... so it's okay.

Not much has happened. I played the organ for that funeral yesterday, and accompanied Sister Stogner... it was random... and it's just not cool to cheer at a funeral. Okay, it's a celebration of his life... but don't get too excited. Maybe that's just the way he was when he was alive.

When Eliza came home on Sunday we talked till like 5 am... so I'm a bit off schedule and the whole sore throat and congestion and runny nose and sneezing and achiness and tiredness and coughing is NOT HELPING.

Anyway, I'd better go.

Muzak: Comfortable - John Mayer... the extended version!!
Thing I love of the day: making MONEY!!

I finished my BYU essays! All is well with the world. Actually, all will be well when I know if I am going to college. But yes, it is extremely difficult to narrow a 400 word essay down to 200 words. Meh.

I'm sick, it's not really fun. I woke up from a dream about posing for the Mafia (I have been watching Alias too much, I was a spy or something! Ar!), and I was all congested. Hmm. Ah well what can ya do.

Beth Stogner called me today. She asked me to play for a funeral on Monday, and I said yes, just because the songs sounded so funny! I'm accompanying her to "What I Did For Love" from A Chorus Line, and the closing song is "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"... hahahaha... it's for a guy that used to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers, and then he became a talent scout for the LA Dodgers... so I guess that Tommy Lasorda and Mike Piazza are gonna be there... okay not intimidating or anything. Don't worry about it. Hahaha.

I don't know what my deal is, why don't I blog any more?? I've just been too stressed this week. I think I'll be more of a blogger next week because Thursday is my last day of doing important things... it's the AATG... aaahh! But then I'm done. But Eliza will be here. So I just don't know. Since I'll be out and about doing important things... not! I guess I'll have to be helping my mom cuz she's having surgery on Tuesday. Scary much? Well she doesn't seem to think so, so it's aight.

I'm babysitting tonight. Why am I so boring? Hahaha... ohhh wellll... If I think of anything else exciting... I'll be sure to tell ya'll.

Muzak: Silver Bells - Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney... yippee!
Thing I love of the day: shawnimals.com... how does this guy make money?

Correction to the thing I love of the day (although vaughnetc.com isn't too bad either)... I meant vartanetc.com. Yes.

Now that I have spent like 10 years writing in the JM blog, here I am to drone on about my life.

It has been TOO LONG!! hahaha... almost a week!! Here's a week in review, "hitting the high points," as our friend Cab would say. Only Eliza would get that. Aaaaokay:

*Saw The Ring. Finally.
*An owl almost flew into my windshield. 30 seconds later, a bear saunters across the road. That's what I get for driving in Duarte.
*Went to Concord to visit the fam, i.e., Phoebe, David and Henry. Henry is SO CUTE, I wish I had a scanner and the ability to understand how to post pictures. Hm.
*Saw Ice Age. Finally.
*Did my dance!! Ahh!! That will get a paragraph... :)
*And sadly, that's it.

Hahaha it seemed like there was SO much more to say! But I suck! I hate "Big Yellow Taxi" by the Counting Crows. It needs to STOP. Oooh, ba ba ba... I hate you, Vanessa Carlton! I dunno I just don't enjoy the song.

So we've been reading Nectar in a Sieve for English... and it was really good. And all the while I couldn't help but remember a post about nectars and sieves. I know fo sho that we had one. And I can't remember why... it was cuz Nicole was like nectar in a sieve... someone told her that... come on, enlighten me here! I even went through a bunch of old blogs until I got bored of it!! hahahaha. At least tell me I'm not crazy.

So the dances! Ah! I love being Asian! Hahaha we performed our dances at the assembly today. It was waaay fun... we did the Tahitian first, which was way cool... but not as cool as the TINIKLING!! Ahh!! It was so great, we got a standing ovation!! I dunno, when you practice so hard at something and then finally it all pays off in the end... I love that. It just was a bit sad cuz we practiced 3 weeks for about 5 minutes of performing. And then, okay, Alex ASB President calls me at like 9:30 (interrupting Alias!) and is like "Hannah... I heard you play the piano..." and he asks me to play a classical piece as a part of the European American part of the culture assembly. Which was pointless. Because there was no mic. And no one could hear me. BUT... this made me soo happy... all the black guys stood up and cheered for me! It was so nice of them! hahaha cuz everyone was talking... pretty much no one knew that I was up there at all, cuz the piano was so quiet... and I was like whatever, Trevor, but then a bunch of senior black guys got up and cheered for me, and the only one I recognized was this guy Adam Gabriel... later he's all "girl, we were all yellin' for you!"... but it was so nice of them anyway. Made me feel better. So I got cheered for 3 times today!! Ahh it was SWEET! I felt special.

Ha. Okay. I think that's all I have to say. I really need to go to bed, because I've just been way off lately. If I think of anything else... I'll tell ya'll. Haha. But I missed blogging. And hey! Eliza comes home on Sunday night! Wow! Oh, and Nicole...

Melanie is not dating Steve Vaughn... hahahahaha... I laughed when I read that. It's definitely Steve Graham.

Oh and hey, try downloading Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer by Jack Johnson... hahaha... it's fun! And also God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by Barenaked Ladies. Like I said... gotta love Star and Ryan Seacrest! Bam!

Muzak: Yellow - Coldplay... I asked for the new Coldplay cd for Christmas... I think I'll get it cuz my mom was picking out presents for the Terrill Christmas party, the ones that Santa gives us... and she usually gives us the most specific thing we ask for. So yay, Coldplay! Yay, Chris Martin! You are HOT!
Thing I love of the day: vaughnetc.com... go. Just go.

*DISCLAIMER - The following post was made in a heated attempt to write many things in a short amount of time. Therefore, it may sound a little pissy and may end up in some trash talkin', but get over it, cuz I don't care about gossip that much to care about what you say behind my back. Woooord.*

I just wrote that and realized that Nicole is probably the only one that reads this, so it was a bit unnecessary.

Sometimes I don't like blogging after I was mad because I have lost some of my thunder! hahaha.

Well Sunday was just frustrating, because Melanie told me that Sister C told her that Erin's mom called and said she never wanted to go to seminary again. And I'm sure Erin reads this (maybe?) so I'm gonna say right now that I hope she decides to keep coming, because I have no idea why she decided she wanted to stop coming. I was a bit more fiery about this on Sunday... I guess that's good that I didn't write haha. Anyway... some ish was going down with Erin (that I kind of was in the dark about?) and I was all ready to exchange words, and then Erin came to church and she was way cool, so I was like... hmm... maybe it was a "tempest in a teapot" as my dad puts it... so I forget about it... and she came to seminary the next day anyway. So we'll see. It will all come out in the wash.

Ah. And then seminary today... Tiffany and Brittney A came. So they moved to Utah this summer. And I'm like okay whatever. They come back to visit for Thanksgiving, and everyone is all up in everyone's face about it because Brittney thought that she and Steve had a thing going (yeah she's like 15) and now Mel and Steve are an item, and so she's all mad about that, and Tiffany just kept talking about how she wanted to go back to Utah. Seriously. I was about to buy her plane ticket and drop her off at LAX and forget about it... it just offended me! Like, okay, I feel like trash now! I know that Tiffany and I had our moments, but I never hated her or anything... and we didn't treat her like crap! Argh. Fine. Go back to Utah. And don't come to school to visit and then complain about how you wish you had made a wrong turn so that you could have ended back up in Utah.

Okay. I'm done being mean. I don't mean to, really.

Uhh, I saw Harry Potter yesterday... and I agree with what every critic says... it was what I was expecting... kinda so-so. Although I love Ron. And Oliver Wood is still hot.

There was a fire like 2 minutes away from my house, and it took forever and a day to go home and pick up my stuff to go to rehearsal. Sheez. But it's out now.

Okay, I'm leaving to go see The Ring! So peace out, ya'll! I'm going to Phoebe's this week for Thanksgiving, so I won't blog probably till Saturday night... but maybe I'll have access to a computer this week! Have fun guys!

Things I love of the day: the pretty sunset and the WIND!
Muzak: My Baby's Got a Secret - Madonna... it was on a Hyundai commercial or something on tv...

Okay. I have a lot to say, but not much time. And if I type now, I might pee on myself hahaha. Not really, but I'm feeling kind of intense about some things. So here's the deal: I'm gonna go to bed, and blog tomorrow. So I can have a lot of time to type my feelings. No rush. I have some big John Mayer news too! So I'll blog that as well. Anyway... I'm gonna go now. So be content with the fact that I am thinking of you, the reader. Aight? Goodnight, all (one of you)!

Muzak: Die Another Day - Madonna

"That thing, that moment when you kiss someone and everything around you becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift, and you wanna laugh, and you wanna cry... 'cause you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that it'll go away all at the same time."

Sheeeeeez! I LOVE that movie! So this is my night's story... Noah was watching 10 Things I Hate About You, and then Never Been Kissed was going to be on after that... so I'm like cool, I'll watch it when I babysit! Just kidding! They have satellite, and everything is on 3 hours earlier! Fools! So I got there right in time to see the last half hour of Never Been Kissed, which is the best part anyway, and then I came home at 10:30 and watched the last half hour again! Did you know that the commercials are exactly the same too when you watch it later? And then I watched Cheers. The same one that I saw babysitting. So it was kinda ehh... but yeah, Never Been Kissed! Love it! Sam Coulson! I really wanted to see 10 Things I Hate About You though... cuz it's been a while.

Anyway. That's all I had to say.

Thing I love of the day: Michael Vartan... time to find another poster on eBay! jk.
Muzak: Don't Worry, Baby - The Beach Boys... I'm a sucker for happy endings! Ah!

Well I did the Nicole and I looked up my name on Google! It was pretty funny. There is a Hannah T in 10th grade and she runs track. There are also a ton of dead ones, probably somewhere around 5,000 of them. Hahaha and I also found the acrostic poems amusing! I was like "wow, Chris and Nicole have really good ones!!" and then I get down to Danny's and it's all "Me like sports. Me sports freak. Want sports now." hahaha... it was great.

Last night was the CIF game, and we won! 52-35, it was pretty exciting. So we play either in Torrance or Santa Barbara on Friday, but it doesn't matter because I'll be in Concord.

I'm seriously so tired. Meh. I got up at 8 to work at the armory, bagging food for poor people. I feel bad for some of them, because there was some nasty stuff, like pink salmon. Haha... I'm cruel... but oh well, it's food!!

I'm watching the Ironman triathlon... it's very intense... and some of the people are just so interesting... I'm impressed.

Okay, I'm out.

LAST ONE, I PROMISE!!!

What Moulin Rouge Character Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
...for today, at least... muahahaha

I realized that I just haven't been giving Comfortable the attention it needs. I was playing my Winamp playlist, cuz the stupid KaZaA one won't work, and it's just a huge hassle to open up Winamp... there's just gayness all over this computer, seriously! Anyway, so I was listening to it, and I just got all happy. Except then Butch called and Nicole and Ashlinn IMed, so I got majorly distracted. So I think I might play it again, to get the full feel.

There's a cricket on my floor. By the way.

I got a C for the first time on an assignment in German. Four years in that class, and I have NEVER gotten a C... I don't think so at least. This means that the senioritis has taken full effect. Frau wrote "Was ist los?" in huge red letters... it was sad. I knew I had to have gotten a bad grade, because Frau had been displaying some animosity toward me this week. That's just how she is when she doesn't think that people are performing up to par. Oh well. Stupid teachers.

Okay, so I just saw Office Space for the first time yesterday. It was on Comedy Central, but I just don't understand why... cuz it's OVERRATED!! hahaha... Christina and Megan agree. So anyway, I'm just intrigued with the movie now, so I took another quiz...

What Office Space character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

He's SO SCARY!! "Thcuze me... umm umm... you thtill have my stapler..."

Why aren't I in bed??

Muzak: Man on the Side - John Mayer... he'll never be MY man on the side!!

Oh really, fool? Haha.

Thing I love of the day: Mandarin oranges.

I had probably four hours of sleep last night. Here's how the night went:
9:30 - fell asleep
10:15 - Eliza called
11:20 - fell asleep
11:30 - dumb face Harry called and woke me up
11:31 - fell asleep
1:41 - Dad woke me up, wearing his Mr. Glaser hat
2:00 - drove out to Angeles Crest Highway in La Canada
3:54 - got home from watching the meteor shower
3:55 - asleep again
5:30 - alarm went off
6:15 - dragged self out of bed

Oh yes. And the meteor shower was cool. But it would have been better had there been less light. I've never seen one before though, so yay me!

I'm teaching Jennifer M. piano lessons! It's so nice to have a cash flow again.

I've GOT to go to sleep.

Muzak: Hotel Yorba - The White Stripes... it's so peppy! Get it today!

I went ahead and sprained my ankle at dance practice. The hopping requires a lot of stress on the balls of your feet, and I think I just turned the wrong way one time too many... it hurts so bad! And I had to drag out the ankle braces from the tennis days of yore. But Katrina is still proud of me, and that's all that matters. And... I found out for the Tahitian dance that we're wearing GRASS SKIRTS! hahahaha... all authentic-like and everything, with a lei and those cool nut anklets. Tiiiight, and I get to keep it. Just in case anyone needs to borrow a grass skirt.

And my dad is SO ODD sometimes. We're going to go watch a meteor shower tonight, which is awesome, but we're going at midnight. Hm. So he's making a big stink, like "Get all your work done, and go to bed early, so we can wake up and go at midnight." Ugggh he's SO WEIRD!! And I said "Well Eliza said she might call tonight!" and he's all "Well that'll be interesting." Thanks for the support, Papi.

I was so tired at school today. Boo to me. I slept in Mr. Dols' class. And my wisdom teeth are growing in. And something's wrong with Erin, and no one knows what it is... and I feel bad, because I'm too scared to ask her about it lol. Meh.

Thing I love of the day: your mom.
Muzak: By The Way - Red Hot Chili Peppers... featuring Anthony Kiedis' hot rockin' abs

Crimeny, I'm watching The Sixth Sense right now... and... it's hard to type quietly... haha. I know my dad will say something about it soon. But yeah, I've seen this movie so many times, and the barf girl doesn't scare me anymore. Just the razorblade woman who walks by the bathroom. Eek.

Okay now I'm just depressed. Haha.

Wow, I haven't posted in a long time! Haha it's all been like 3 days. But I made my blog "public"... hahaha... so random people might be reading this. I'll see how it goes.

So this weekend was exciting. Let's see, on Thursday we had Stake Standards Night, not too eventful... Friday I had dance practice again... oh my GOSH I'm dying here! We practiced outside and I landed on a rock and my little toe started bleeding profusely. So I left. Haha. Then I went to the the football game with Melanie. It was funny, because I was like "I wonder if the people who graduated when we were freshman will be here, like Victor!"... and that was a really random thought. For some reason, that day someone had said something about Victor and I was like "I haven't seen him since March" and someone told me he was skinny now lol. But yeah, so anyway, about 30 seconds after I said that, I turned around and he was standing there!! It was crazy. He is skinnier, I think. And his hair is like as long as mine. And he has a beard. But it was exciting to see him! So yes, that was our last game, and we WON! It was very exciting, because we were undefeated, and we played Temple City, who was also undefeated... and now we won league. Yeehaw! So we're going to CIF. It's like freshman year, all over again.

Anyway. So after the football game, me, Butch, Melanie, Steve, Laura, Justin, and Christopher went to Pepper's. That was kinda boring, but hey, what can you do. Some things were funny though, like when Melanie spilled water all over herself within like the first thirty seconds of us getting there. And the boys having a scooter race in the parking lot... I realized last night that it's always useful to keep scooters in your trunk. I can't remember why they were there though.

And then today. I went to Melanie's to help them move, but I came like 2 hours late... haha. But then I stayed for like 7 hours painting. That was exciting. I got paint all over myself. Has anyone seen Josie and the Pussycats? The part where the FBI agent walks in and goes "Good grief, that girl has a skunk on her head!" Yeah, that was me. I had a nice stripe down the middle of my head. Which was great. Haha. It took me 10 minutes to wash out, yeah! Um, then I went babysitting. At 7. And now here I am!! Blogging!!

I just looked over the last three paragraphs and realized what a boring person I am. But that is OKAY!

Eliza is coming home in... 22 days! That is very exciting news. Hm.

AHH! I watched Rock's Most Eligible Bachelors tonight!! I had such a Nicole moment, I can just see us doing the EXACT same thing! I was babysitting for the Millers, who have a dish, so I wanted to watch VH1 anyway because when I left my house, they were doing the 100 best love songs... and since I am a hopeless romantic, I wanted to watch it! So anyway, when the kids went to bed, I tore myself away from the Music Man and turned the channel to VH1, and much to my delight, the description said "Rock's Most Eligible Bachelors"!! Yeeeeuhhh! And it said there were 58 minutes remaining so I was like "Please John, don't be gone!!" and it was in the middle of Mark McGrath (yesss) and then... JOHN! Muahaha... I'll detail that one in the other blog. So anyway, overall I was pleased by the picks. I had looked at the list of people, but it was better watching it on TV. Special props go out to Howlin' Pelle Almqvuist (sp) of The Hives (I have a picture of him on my door!), Chris Martin of Coldplay (he is hot and underappreciated), Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters (he's just silly), Brandon Boyd (I want to... lick him. I don't know), Anthony Kiedis' six-pack, Chris Isaak's success in making me want to RETCH (haha not really, he's weird though.), and Julian Casablancas of The Strokes. And John Mayer, of course!!! But anyway, I thought it was a wonderful list overall... one that only VH1 could have put together.

It's about time to post this mother.

Thing I love of the day: showers.
Muzak: Don't Cry For Us - justincase... uhm, Justin from justincase is hot.

hannah rules! - Timothy John Gomez

There it is, folks, straight from the horse's mouth! It always makes me feel good to know that I haven't been forgotten. =D

Muzak: Things I'll Never Say - Avril Lavigne... um, and how did THAT get on there?!?

You can just call me a mover and a shaker. Haha... yeah, I went to my first practice as a Polynesian dancer!! It was so much fun... it's basically hopping around really fast, and trying not to get hit by the bamboo... which did happen several times. Like I said, very exciting... and my feet hurt soooo bad. The bamboo crunching on your ankles is not a pleasant thing.

Welcome, Davey, to my blog! haha, I was reading through my old posts and I noticed that a post had 4 comments, and I was like wow, Nicole and I are the only ones that read this... but there he was! So now I have 2 readers besides myself. I'm a celebrity.

My feet HURT! I took a little break as I went and ate dinner and made brownies, so I'm gonna be a little redundant. Sorry.

I just downloaded the new version of KaZaA... that might have been a bad idea, but oh well. I can't figure out how to work it. Is it worth it? Lemme work it! Ha, jk. What I do need to invest in is a little KaZaA lite. How exciting, no pop-ups. I'll figure that one out eventually.

We had a "speed through" for the play today... even though it's over, we have to go over our lines weekly so that we won't forget them, just in case we make CETA (uhh I think it stands for California Educational Theater Association), which means we'll have to perform in January. Too many competitions, I tell ya! Same with VICA... if we make VICA, I'll have a competition in January. Shoot me now. Anyway, the speed through was HILARIOUS! Oh my freakin' gosh, people were using Italian accents, gay accents, valley girl, whatever, it was SO funny. More entertaining than the play itself.

I need to shave my legs... they're too dry.

Oh, yeah, I was watching FM Nation today... has anyone ever seen that? It's some show on MTV that follows people around when they go out on Saturday night. So this one took place in Salt Lake City! It was SO great... there was a group of girls (Mormon), a guy named Skippy (Mormon), and some scary fat chicks (not Mormon). The girls were just graduated, ready for their last outing before going to college (I coulda sworn that I heard a reference to the "Y" in there)... and the one girl had never been kissed before, and the goal was to have her kiss her hot friend Devin before they left!! Oh man, you just KNEW they were Mormon though. It was hilarious. You don't wear jeans and shirts with sleeves on a hot August night going out with a group of hot guys when you're not Mormon. And the girl (I can't remember her name) was REALLY pretty. Leave it to a pretty 18 year-old Mormon girl to have never been kissed. And say that she's going to lose her "lip virginity" that night. And Devin's friend was named Manti. 'Nuff said.

So anyway. She never got kissed. But it said when she got to college, she had her first kiss right when she got there... awww... Anyway, on to Skippy. He wasn't very cute. And he was making an attempt at creative dating. He got out these toy boats, and made some references to the "friend ship" and the "relation ship"... Melanie and I were feelin' for him, big time. And the girl didn't look too interested from the get-go. She slammed him, big time. It was depressing. "I'll seeya at church tomorrow, Rachel!" "Uhh, yeah, mumble mumble..." Poor kid. Maybe it's cuz he was like "I'm a 24 year-old virgin, if you can believe that" to the camera (when Rachel wasn't there)... he was all trying to justify it lol.

Last group... the fat Goth girls going to a Warrant concert. I thought that 40 year-olds with mullets went to Warrant concerts. But no, these ones looked 30something... it was just disgusting though. One had her nose pierced, bull-style. I was waiting for the matador to jump out. Get RID of her, please! So that just wasn't as intriguing as the Mormons. I guess the white trash were the only non-Mormons in Utah they could get.

So if you have gotten this far in the post, congratulations! I just realized that I was kind of giving a dissertation on what is kind of a gay show anyway. I guess I didn't really have an eventful day today, except for the Polynesian dancing and the speed-through.

P.S. Davey, if you're talking Maruchan Ramen, the beef wins. For the Cup O' Noodles, it's chicken.

Thing I love of the day: laughing at stupid things like fake Italian accents and Josh Ramirez trying to be an auctioneer
Muzak: Lover You Should Have Come Over - Jeff Buckley... FYI, this is JM's favorite love song... and I found out a few months ago that Jeff Buckley died a few years ago in a freak drowning accident. Creepy much?

I love The Cure!! Download "Pictures of You"... that's like the best song. Really. I remember Jenny listening to the best of The Cure in her car, and I downloaded the song and I just love it.

Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear

Mm, special.

And now I'm having a Never Been Kissed moment, because The Smiths is on my playlist now... pleeease, pleeease, pleeease, let me let me let me get what I waaaant... I like that song too. I like that movie. I vant to vatch it.

Did you know that, according to the Zagat Survey of something or other, that The Wizard of Oz is the number one "feel good" movie? And number fifty is The Karate Kid. Odd. The full guide is available at zagat.com... I have a little booklet here with the top fifty, but I just don't feel like writing it.

Ahh, now U2 is on, With Or Without You... I think maybe I'm feeling nostalgic for something lol... I'm not sure what. A stake dance maybe. That's what all these songs are like, slow songs from a stake dance. And speaking of which, the DJ didn't even have a U2 cd with him on Saturday! What the gay, what dance doesn't play U2?? I love that song, *sniff*.

Poor Papi, he's sleeping... I think everyone is feeling flu-ish lately... I slept from 4-5 today... it seemed like longer because it was dark when I woke up. Hm.

I'm gonna go do some Personal Progress... hahaha... yeah, I'm cool.

Thing I love of the day: cold and sunny!!
Muzak: Sieze the Day - Newsies... ya know, I've never seen that movie. But I love that song, it excites me.

Wow, I'm surprised that 8 Mile did so well... lol. I'm curious now.

Why does Christina Aguilera think she's cute? J. Lo too?

Ahh, I went and picked up my car about 20 minutes ago... and I swear, I thought I was going deaf!! I had to keep trying to pop my ears to make sure that I wasn't really hearing anything!! The roters and muffler were well needed... and now the whole town can't hear me when I drive up my street. Sweet, sweet bliss.

I really want the Best of U2 cd... I completely forgot about it. But now I can ask for it for Schirtmas!! Okay, I was watching the tv when I typed "Christmas" and it came out as... Schirtmas... hahahaha I just decided to leave it there. I also want Mtv's Handpicked Volume II... we've got a little bit of the John Mayer and the Guster and the Norah Jones on there... I want!!

I guess my mom is having surgery next month. Hmm. She randomly does these things and doesn't really tell anyone lol. But Christmas is so... busy! Ahh... it's going to be difficult. We were talking about it and I told her I'd give her manicures as she lays on the couch. Barbara, Queen of Sheba.

I really like LaLa, formerly of The Beat. She's fun. Not as annoying as Carson. Um, and Brittany Murphy is kind of a spaz lol... but she's cute! Kind of funny. Apparently Eminem is a 12 on the kissing scale of 1-10. She's obsessed.

Muzak: Through the Rain - Mariah Carey... bleh... I can't stand her. It's on tv though.

Which VW Are You?

by Auto Glass America

Love those European cars.

What the heck is a roter? Okay, scratch that, Mom just told me. According to Jim, my brake pads have worn thin, and the roters need to be replaced. And the front muffler needs to be replaced also. Giddy up! I sometimes wish that my car didn't need upkeep. It's gonna be $95 for the new muffler and $210-$265 for the roters, depending on how many need to be replaced. But on a happy note, Butch won't have to ask me if my car is diesel anymore!

I spent the night at Megan's last night because it was her birthday on Saturday. It was pretty funny. I like chillin' with the girls... it seems like I have kind of been disconnected from them on the weekends. I guess during the play I was hanging out with Ashlinn the whole time, but I haven't really hung out with Jenny. We haven't been hanging out as much since I got my license back lol.

Oh, and this is the best right here... Alfalfa, from the newer Little Rascals, was at the dance on Saturday! hahaha... it was so great! For those of you who watch the made for Disney movies, he was in Get a Clue too... his name is Bug Hall, if that rings a bell. It was exciting, I wonder if he's Mormon.

Okay, we are listening to Joan Baez's Christmas album... oh man, I LOVE Christmas. I don't think that it's odd at all that we listen to Christmas music like six months before the actual holiday.

I'm watching Gunsmoke or something right now. Before it was Leave it to Beaver... I guess I'll change the channel now.

Ahh, SNL. I love cable.

Muzak: I Wonder As I Wander - Joan Baez... hahahahaha my parents and their weird college music...
Thing I love of the day: cold feet in the fall... =D

Thing I love of the day: that I'm normal.

...and the guys from American Bandstand are hot.

I'm babysitting tonight. Yee-uh. My first weekend as a free woman, and I celebrate it by makin' bank. Sorta.

I seriously love the rain. I was telling Melanie that it reminds me of good things... I don't know, kinda like my comfort food. Without the food part. It reminds me of... elementary school, and freshman year... for some reason. I don't know, it just makes me so happy. And when I came home, I had a bowl of beef Top Ramen. I LOVE beef Top Ramen.

Today they had this great assembly, hahaha... the first annual Latino Heritage assembly! Dude it was so great. They had all these fun dances and whatnots. And Katrina wants me to dance a Filipino dance with the Asian Pacifics... hahaha I'm so excited... cuz I guess for Togetherness Week, they're gonna have a Filipino dance, a Tahitian dance, some Mexican dance, and BSU is going to do stepping... and then all the groups are gonna merge at the end and dance to "Work It"... yo yo!! I am so excited!! hahaha. That was the reason she asked me, cuz she knew I'd flip about the Missy Elliott part. Haha.

We got the homecoming pics back today. And, since they airbrushed them, they don't look half bad!!! lol... I thought that was hilarious, I was like yo, why is my face so smooth? I enjoyed it.

AHHHH!! I just checked the mail, and JOHN MAYER IS HERE!!! Hahaha not John himself, but my poster! Finally! Wow that just made my day.

Thing I love of the day: Carol Michal (she sent JM to me)
Muzak: Covered In Rain - John Mayer... it was in my head all day, and it reminded me of the concert cuz they played it there (I think it's Part II to City Love)

Thing(s) I love of the day: beef Top Ramen and rain
