{Insert Cliché and Overused "Poltergeist" Reference Here}

Hello all!

It's been years! Well, not literally, but it feels like it has been!

Now, while I have no excuse for not posting during January or February, I have a totally legitimate excuse for March! Really! See, my laptop broke and it was this total mission trying to get it fixed! I had to go back and forth from Pasadena and on public transportation no less! It was horrible! It took me like two hours to get there! I just got my computer back on Friday, so I'm deliriously happy. At this point, no one other than myself gets to touch it. (Btw, shout out to Betty who helped me out and listened to my whining and bitching and stupid questions during this really stressful month!)

There isn't much to say about what I have been doing as I haven't really been doing much. I purchased a Kindle, so I have been reading more, but since I lacked a way to access the internet (my laptop is the only sophisticated item of technology in my household) I have been totally disconnected from the world and current news. And no, I don't buy newspapers, so that's not an acceptable method of gathering intelligence.

Currently I'm on dregs of Spring Break, tragically watching as the days dwindle away into nothingness, waiting on the day when I shall have to pick up my pencil and armor once again and set forth, to battle radicals and imaginary numbers. Oh, and all my other classes, too. But math is more important.

Which reminds me; I've been making a strange amount of math jokes... as an English (possibly Art History) major, is the allowed? Like, will they take away my English major membership card?

I've passed my computer-less days watching continuous episodes of Criminal Minds, which was pretty fucking awesome. I realized that CM is quite honestly the only show where I don't hate any of the characters. In every other show that I watch religiously (meaning I stream on the internet) there's always that character that just needs to get thrown off a building and just die. But not in this one. It was just a really strange observation, seeing as I am currently immersing myself into television after a year of non-immersion. Plus I'm making all these really cool connections and catching all these random references to random shit that it just so random!

Like, I was able to catch a Shakespeare plot line by watching like a minute of a movie. It's honestly tripping me the fuck out.

But in a good way.

Also, I'm getting published!! I submitted a few poems I wrote to my college's literary journal and they got accepted! It's not much, but I'm like super stoked about it! Like, my name is going to be in print and distributed. My name! This is huge for me! And besides, everyone has to start out somewhere! ;)

{Although, to be completely honest, I did not think that my writing debut, so to speak, would have been with poetry. Apparently, I can write it. Who knew?}

I'll post up pictures when the journal comes out, so you all can see!

P.S. Should I make a Facebook like page for this blog? That way I can also share other random shit I find on the internet and wish to share with my readers! Yes, all two of you! What do you think?? Leave a comment, or just nod your head approvingly in front of your screen! I'm psychic. I'll know. :)

Psycho Leopard Cocaine Party!

So... it's my birthday. I am officially twenty years old and all wrinkly. Ew. Omg, Botox party at my house guys! You bring the needles, I'll bring the plastic surgeon!

Anyway, beside having the extreme weight of no longer being a teenager on my shoulders (I have responsibilities- ew!), and constantly defending my stance on still being nineteen (but I'm not, sadface), I had a pretty decent birthday. Last night I had to stay up and type up a paper for my Chicano Literature class so I had the change to celebrate my birthday while writing about the Chicano movement and spamming Lady Gaga on twitter to tweet me happy birthday. Yes. You read that right. Don't hate. #hardcoremonster

Well, while finishing that paper and preparing my extra credit presentation for art history, I was attacked by all of these well-wishers and happy messages, which was pretty nice. Generally, when people attack me, they're mad 'cause I told them the truth and they didn't like it. Haters.

So I went to sleep and I slept. I had a great birthday sleep, thank-you-very-much.

Then I was woken up by my overzealous mother giving me birthday-hugs and presents; honestly, I could get used to that. Presents when you wake up? Sheer awesomeness. Then throughout the day, I was spammed by everyone I ever met wishing me happy stuff and fun stuff, and hoping I had a great day. It was great! Thanks, you guys! :D My phone kept vibrating and it was so awesome, because I kept checking it during class, and I expected stuff to happen. It was great.

After that, Vicki and I went to go eat, where we stuffed our faces and planned for my bday celebration on Saturday, just me and my hoodrats, and what exactly we were going to do and such. She didn't get to buy me cheesecake, but it's okay; the opportunity will present itself once more. Cheesecake!

However, I still cannot believe that fact that I'm old. I'm expecting to shrivel up like a prune and have to wear glasses and start making racist comments, 'cause I'm old and senile. I'm like twenty. That's like sixty! Woe is me! My childhood is over! *insert dramatic pose here*

I expected to end the day unwinding, binging on Cherry Garcia whilst watching "American Horror Story" with Coug over skype, but she has to study and shit, so I guess I'll watch Grimm, eat popcorn and read Andy Warhol's philosophy. We are currently discussing alternative timings in which to do this during the weekend. : )

And thus, ends a birthday in the life of moi.

P.S. Happy. Strangely enough.

'WriMo, Day Eleven

Sorry I haven't been blogging recently. I have just been sooooooooo busy!

Oh, about eleven days ago, I started NaNoWriMo on a whim. While completely insane (some would argue, idiotic) I have begun to enjoy it. I started crafting my plot during a dark and stormy night, Halloween night, to be exact, and have enjoyed it so much! I try to craft some of it during the day before sitting down and writing, but some of it had been total improv.

However, the lack of pre-planning has affected me in ways I did not imagine; that and the Statewide meeting, and the Yardhouse in Pasadena. It's been crazy. I'm already like 9,000ishwords behind and I need to start soon!

So, random update, and leaving.

Also: It's 11/11/11.

...Cool.

: )

Be My Poland, Please?

Oh dear. I've neglected my blog for so long! : o

It's been so long since I posted! Last time I did so it was four days before my birthday...

Which went great, by the way. Thank you for asking. Even though you did not ask. Haha! But yeah, my actual birthday landed on a Wednesday so I was unable to celebrate my birthday on the day it landed. I had to go to class. Which wasn't too bad. Afterwards I hung out with one of my best friends and went out to eat, so it ranks pretty high in the birthday scale. Later on, on Friday during my acting class Livie brought cupcakes to celebrate Ivan and my birthday, on which we gorged until I was as sugar-high as a five-year-old left unchecked in a candy store. I'm not kidding on how sugar-high I was. Then, on Saturday, my and my friends went to go watch Burlesque, which is a really good movie. mainly because of the music, but I digress. It was money well spent, until the people behind us started talking and I had to regulate. But it went well. : )

Finals were a certifiable disaster. Right after my birthday week, finals started. I had three essays to write, which I did. I had to bust some serious miracles to finish my paper on Celtic mythology and had to turn in my final essay late. I worked some magic (out of my seriously depleted magic bag) to finish my analyzation of Machiavelli's "The Prince" in one night. I had some serious sleepless nights. The first night I had no sleep, a final and then no sleep again. Up until Sunday, I was not afforded decent sleep. The only good thing about that week was my meetings with my group. Lol! They were awesome. : )

First off, on Monday, I took a few hours off to meet them and go costume shopping. The entire event was fruitless and we found nothing (except my Halloween costume for next year, but that's next year. Lol) but it was so much fun! And then on Thursday we met to practice in which Cliff bought us food, I pretended to work and we practiced- kinda. Then we took a whole bunch of pictures whilst posing on my mac. With my mac, not on my mac. Haha! After that, me and Sabrina went to the Hat. : ) Friday was our performance, which did not go as well as we had planned. But it's all good. My second presentation I had to find a replacement for my partner (who was sick and was unable to make it) so Livie stepped it and it went great! The professor was really impressed, despite the group issue we had previously encountered.

I'm seriously hoping I pass all of my classes! I messed up a bit, but at the moment, I am beyond caring! I just want to pass, so I don't have to re-do any classes! : (

So today was the Academic Decathlon Christmas Party- which is this gathering my former coach always throws for her former and current teams. Which is really nice of her, btw. Anyways, I was able to spend a lot of time with my former team mates, whom I all really missed! We've all just been so busy that we haven't had time to communicate! But it was all fun! I dazzled people with my skills at "Battle of the Sexes," ate some cherry tarts, and played a really hardcore game of "Uno." I'm not kidding when I say Hardcore. We were backstabbing one another and when one player managed to get one card we all teamed up against them. We made alliances, we made enemies, Mari was my Poland- it got crazy! Haha! It was awesome and I would so do it again! : D

Also, I so fucking excited! Coug came back from Yale! I was so happy to have her back that I visited her in the goddamn rain! Hahaha! I even slipped in her back yard cause of some issue with the roof- don't ask. We spent the time watching this documentary on the Deadly Sin of Pride, funnily enough. It's extremely ironic that particular episode was played on that day, seeing as we're both so vain. It was like the perfect episode for us to watch. Then we watched this show about Salon makeovers and criticized the participants- all in all it was very fun. Then before I left we somehow made a song using Garageband something very techno-y and rock-ish. we kept remarking on why we had not done that before so it might be something we wish to pursue... : )

Okay, my hands seem to be very tired from typing. Lol! I will stop here. Although I will try to blog once every two days, if not every day! : ) Now that I don't have anything to do! Hahaha!

Fav New Band of the Month!

Today, after waking up, eating grapes, getting dressed and inhaling a sandwich, I moseyed over to Radio Shack to purchase an iTunes card- something I've been meaning to do since I came into the money I have now. I bought a fifteen dollar card. I had originally planned a twenty-five dollar, but I vetoed in exchange of not buying too much music, something which is now regretted.

I found a shitload of music I wanted to buy a keep and cherish forever and ever and ever and ever and ever!!

Woah. Make that three evers.

Anyway, I redeemed the card and headed to the reason I originally bought the card- Lady Gaga remixes. : )

So I bought a whole Extended Play of those (which are fucking awesome, despite the dumb remarks on iTunes) and decided to surf the store a bit. I went over to the "Complete my Album" link on the main menu, and somehow (don't really know how, exactly) I ended up on the page for a '06 album by the name of "Kick". I listened to the 30 second previews, and I loved them! White Rose Movement absolutely became my new favorite band! Sadly, they are no longer together, but I'm waiting on the new album, which they stated they would release anyway, so yeah!! Haha!

I'm planning to buy another iTunes card sometime this week (most likely tomorrow) in order to buy the whole album.

After I finished squealing like a schoolgirl at the prospect of the awesome new/old band, I searched for CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy) in order to buy a few new songs from one of my already-favorite bands ("Meeting Paris Hilton" and "Alala") and to generally surf. I want to complete a Mindless Self-Indulgence album...

Right now I just bought a White Rose Movement Extended Play, which I love! Seriously, people check out this band!! You must! You may not like it, but I'd rather have one of you like it out of fifty, then not hearing it at all! : )

That's it for now!

Comment! Plz? Hahahahahaha! : P
