Stars "Your Ex Lover is Dead" |

Woohoo, haven't updated since June. Rock on!
October is beautiful. It has to be my favorite month. It's really cool now, because I get to sit ouside and paint the trees and the lagoon when everything is starting to change. Watercolor is turning out to be a great class. I'm not exactly amazing at it, but it's soothing in its own way. Oil painting is also getting better, my technique definately needs improvement though. anywho, I have a ton of birthday parties and halloween parties going on this month. I'm super excited about dressing up as Tom Cruise for Halloween.
I'm so proud to finally be an aunt. My Nephew was born in August, and he's the most adorable thing ever. I have to rant about him, he's such a good part of my life right now. so innocent, he doesn't know how sucky the world is yet. I envy him. Anyways, he's going to be a catepillar for halloween, how sweet.
Time for bed!

Caio! I'm back from Italy! It was an amazing trip that I will never forget. I met a lot of really cool people and saw some art work that has inspired me for years and years. I can't wait to go back someday. Not to mention going to Venice on my honeymoon. I have about 650 pictures so if anyone wants to watch a slideshow complete with background music..let me know! So being away for a month has left me a little out of the loop. I can't believe it's almost July already.
lately i've been struggling with this whole, i'm about to be a junior in college thing...it scares me! how did I get so old? but yet i'm still so young..two more months and i'll be 20. good times.
Ms. Kate Burton will be coming to visit me in July!!! Omg, i'm soo excited!!! She hasn't been here in awhile. I'm thinking of maybe having a little BBQ party in her honor. It'll be fabulous

Okay, I cannot stress enough how much i'm loving the format right now. I can't stop listening to them. they're awesome, and their new album is coming out soon. gotta get my hands on that.
Anywho, I'm going to miss certain things about school..and I will list them now...cus i'm bored.
1. Friends..being surrounded by wonderful friends.
2. Going to the drunk park with my wonderful friends.
3. Making sex tests in geology, just like in sixteen candles.
4. lazy saturday and sunday mornings just sitting around watching tv.
5. Playing quarters and water pong.
6. Eating those awesome chicken wraps at Buffalo Wild Wings.
7. Walking around walmart late at night talking to friends.
8. Visiting Megan at Panera and seeing Hat boy.
9. Discovering weird places in Dekalb like "Star Worlds"
10. Those nuggets from Pizza Villa...mhmmm

the format "Give it up" |
] |
Pheww haven't updated in awhile! Things have been slightly stressful here. We only have a few weeks of school left. I'm amazed at how fast this year went by. It can't be almost summer again can it??
So i'm attempting to figure out what classes to take next semester..since a certain art program director fucked me over I'm taking Intro to Art Ed in the fall when I should be in it right now. So basically i'll be graduating a year later than everyone else because of one class. whatever..everything happens for a reason. The only good thing is everyone else is doing portfolio reviews for next week and I can keep working on mine over the summer to make it really good..and i sure as hell better pass...because then what would I do? I quite honestly have no idea what I would do other than art. I don't really have an interest in anything. Anthropology is kind of cool...but seriously, by the time I graduate, will there be anymore ancient shit to dig up? hah..probably not. If art ed fails i'll probably just do art history like i had originally planned and become a crazy curator that lives alone with 20 cats.
Anyways, that motion city, matches, and format show was awesome. I had never been to the riviera. it's freakin sweet in there. sadly I was cursed with some kind of stomach malfunction and had to run to the bathroom during motion city and puke my guts out. sooo random...
So, here's the schedule for the next month..
-Finish all projects and crap for studio classes...I HATE welding..fire scares me
-Rachel's b-day celebrations
-Possible road trip to U of I?
- Finals start around the 8th i guess...study for those
- May 11th, possibly party with megan's friends
-May 12 The Hush Sound at the House
-May 16 leave for Italy
fun times..oh yeah, and somewhere in the middle of all that i'll have to make room for a nervous breakdown.

in other news, this semester has been going by so fast. In a few months i'll be in Italy!!! yayyy! then home for a couple months to spend time with the family and welcome my future niece or nephew into the world. I'm so excited to see the little guy or girl. I want to buy him or her their first pair of chucks. soooo cute. damn i wish they would just find out the sex so i don't have to do this him/her stuff.

Geology Thoughts |

Who watched Grey's Anatomy tonight?? Wasn't it just the craziest thing ever. I love that show..
anywho, i went to the u of i area this weekend to visit some family. A lot of relatives on my mom's side are in nursing homes now. A lot of them can't remember us. it's horribly sad to think that you could possibly forget your loved ones. i hope that i never reach that state. or that my mom gets so bad that she doesn't know who i am. i think that would be one of the worst days of my life, if she couldn't recognize me. I cried a lot this weekend. thinking about things like that, and seeing my mom cry over it. Your life really does go by quickly.
Anywho, Geology is kicking my ass...i have a sore throat. someone give me love.

mmk, I hate sculpture...I'm just not good at this whole 3D thing. I wish I could come up with crazy ideas using crazy things from junk yards, but I don't. So tomorrow i will probably get a bad critique for this piece of shit rubber band piece of mine. Just had to vent about that...anyways
I turned in my application to study in Italy. keep your fingers crossed that I get in and everything goes well. I want to go right now. I'm sick of school, and dekalb..I want to have some adventures. I want to do things that scare me but i know in the end i will enjoy. Get busy living or get busy dying has become my new motto..or it will. Shawshank, thank you for that wonderful quote. i dunno, I think it is hard for me to live up to that though because basically everytime i get close to being happy something happens...something always happens and bam i'm back to cryin in my room like a little emo biotch. Sometimes I even try and think back, like "didn't I break a mirror once? i have a black cat, he walks by me all the time...I open umbrellas inside like it aint no thing" sighh..but then i remember it's probably just me and my pessimistic attitude about most things. I guess i'll just remain emo for now. until someone can make me happy again.
I really hate albino whores

Well, I'm back from Pennsylvania. I spent a lovely week with my best friend Kate. Wow, it has been a long time since I have seen her. I missed her house and dogs, and her of course. It was good to get away for awhile. We did lots of shopping, making crafts, bowling, and partying of course. It was the first time i've had skippy. At first I thought we were all going to bust out some peanut butter..but no, silly me, skippy is a junglejuicy type drink made in a igloo cooler..haha. It was pretty good. I've also come to understand the different phases i go through when I drink (which is not that often people..simmer down). First I get really giddy and I laugh at everything. Then I get into my "go pee every 5 minutes" phase..that really sucks..hah..After that is the tired as hell phase where I am willing to fall asleep anywhere. Then I wake up a little and just get depressed and remain depressed for the rest of the night, thinking things like "i'm going to die alone" yada yada..but anyways, spending time with Kate was a lot of fun, and her friends are all really nice.
So, it's almost time to go back to school and I have mixed feelings. I really like just being at home and relaxing, but i get anxious when i'm here..doing nothing, because I feel like I should be doing something. I have a lot of stuff to get sorted out once I get back to school. I need to figure out what i'm doing this summer. I hope it's not too late to sign up for the study abroad program. who knows where i might end up. I'm hoping Italy. I've always wanted to go there.
Go see Brokeback Mountain if you haven't yet..it's excellent..and not just because two hot guys kiss..it's so much more than that.
Peace

Coheed and Cambria |

So do I even need to say it? Fall Out Boy was awesome!!! again. So was AAR and Coheed. That man has some crazy hair I tell ya. I bet it gets sweaty under there. I didn't get punched in the back this time, but I'm pretty sure someone bit the top of my head. Anyways, I had a lot of fun going with Vanessa. She's like the sister I never had, and I'm grateful that she's always going to be there to look out for me.
Christmas is this week, and yet it feels just like any other week. What's on everyone's christmas list this year? I only have a few things...
1. Spend time with all my friends and family...awww i'm so corny!
2. See FOB in concert...ooh done! hehe
3. assorted clothing items..new chucks
4. See Kate in January!!
5. Spend quality time with some boy..a boy..i am a nerd.
Ok, that's the nice version..in reality i'd ask for pretty much every cd and movie i want right now, plus a new computer because my laptop is a piece of shit. but that's ok... sighhh i'll just converse for 2 hours with the foreign man to get it fixed. peace to you all!

Well, I'm back home and it feels wonderful! This break was very much needed...although I think i'm going to miss a few people back at school... Let's just that i'm really glad it snowed yesterday. well i'm sure time will fly by fast..it always does.
I brought home some of my paintings and drawings that i've done over the semester, well the ones that i don't think are that hideous, and showed them to my dad and he told me how good they were and that my talent is developing a lot and my parents are actually encouraging me to apply to study abroad this summer. I don't hear things like that very often from my parents. My brothers are the intelligent ones. I know it, im not going to pretend i'm some math genious..so it feels good to have some encouragment every once and awhile.
So not only do I get that when I come home, but they tell me they're giving me a christmas present early. So I open up a box and inside is a purse and belt and what not and i'm like, "ok...this is nice, why am i getting this early" and then i look inside the purse and find a ticket to the dec. 18th Fall Out Boy show. wow..i love my parents. not only is fall out boy playing, but coheed and cambria, and the all american rejects. three awesome bands all in one night. i know it's corny to say, but i feel blessed right now. for once i'm not annoyed with my family. i'm happy to be here and i don't want to waste my break being a lazy bum. don't let me be a lazy bum people! it's your job.
oh yeah, and I get to see my bestest friend kate in january! i'm so excited to see my buddy. it's been too long. we're gunna party it up. well..that's enough for now. peace

I don't like having to grow up anymore...it's not fun. I remember when I was little and I would think, "gee..i can't wait to be bigger..I can drive a car, go to college on my own, date boys (insert giggles), and do things on my own." screw that.. I want to be a kid again. Some little girl just knocked on our door and handed me some crap my mom ordered from her schools fundraiser. I wanna sell wrapping paper and cheese again!!! but no, i'm stuck inside on a saturday writing a research paper about low income hispanic females and their experiences in the educational system.... It made me think of that part in Billy Madison when that chubby little kid says "gee, I can't wait until I get into highschool." and then Billy says "Don't you say that. Don't you ever say that. Stay here. Stay here as long as you can. For the love of God, cherish it. You have to cherish it." Cherish it indeed..I don't care about driving my car anymore. it's a piece of crap and almost didn't start yesterday. The only good thing about it is my itrip. I think if i couldn't have music in my car i wouldn't have a car. college is dwindling down on the excitment factor. school is hard and i'm worried that i'm letting my parents down evertime i don't study hard enough or do bad on an exam. what the hell was i thinking getting excited about being able to date guys? i think i'm done with them. they make me cry. so basically what i want to be doing right now is drawying my hand and making paper turkeys..but instead i have to find an article about high drop out rates amoung hispanic females and then find a pillow to create a bump for my stomach so i can paly a drug abusing pregnant girl in my play for theatre. peace
