I know I know I know...

Im boring. I get it. I am le worst blogger. I know that too. My life has been chocked full of memorable events and bloggable situations. I know all 5 people who read this blog are dying to hear about it all. Never fear. I'll be around.

As the end of another holiday draws near, I'd like to take a moment to list all the things I'm thankful for. I'm thankful that no matter how dark things might get, old friendships can still be rekindled. I'm thankful for new relationships that help us realize how far we've come from who we are. And how close we get when we can really be ourselves. I'm thankful that no matter what they say, you can go home again. Whether it's your home or not. But the thing I'm most thankful for? How even on the most giving of days, people can still do something unforgivable. Signed, stealed and delivered, I'm yours. XOXO —gg

Feliz Cumplianos To Me

Last tuesday was my birthday. I turned 21. Now I can buy all the alcohol I want. Hmmph.
Dinner with the bf's was tres chang-y. Thanks for the banana eggroll things whoever.

Food was followed by some good clean wholesome fun in the form of a 30 (ok 45 sorry katie) minute dance party.

Most of the dancing looked like this....

Have you ever been sitting in some weird position at the keyboard and you begin typing, and when you look up and everything youve been typing looks similar to this: nrvsidr upi yjoml yjsy upitr jsbmfd str om yjr vpttrvy [;svr. niy upitr svyis;;u yu[omh s nimvj pg mpmrdrmvrzz? I did that today typing up some stupid spanish homework. Then I realized my hands were actually one too many keys right. I hate technology.

Sorry for being so shy lately.

Im back.

Re: Me

Paul Johnson wrote a provocative piece in the New Statesman in which he criticized the meaningless lives teenagers of the time lived:

"What a bottomless chasm of vacuity they reveal! The huge faces, bloated with cheap confectionery and smeared with chain-store makeup, the open, sagging mouths and glazed eyes, the hands mindlessly drumming in time to the music, the broken stiletto heels, the shoddy, stereotyped, 'with-it' clothes: here apparently, is a collective portrait of a generation enslaved by a commercial machine."

Jordan Rands. He says the phrase 'so stupid' alot. One time he held my hand in sociology for like five minutes. I think we were talking about conflict and functionalist perspectives. Or maybe it was the differential association theory? Jordan makes me laugh when he leaves milkshake moustaches on his face. He's a good spooner. I think it's funny how much he likes Bono. He even wears a 'one' bracelet every single day. We go to Tommies together alot and we didn't ever take anyone else there. One time he came to my house because we were supposed to start/finish this project by the next day. But he thought it would be funny to come over and vomit in my room instead. I had to do the project by myself and he still got a better grade than me in sociology.

also i don't know how to remove eve 6's song from off my profile. oopsies. ayudame!

R.I.P.

Alright, alright. So what. I've been growing dreds. So what everyone's been on my back about it. So what right? Well, when someone started throwing money in for the price of my precious locks leaving my head, I started to reconsider. So it was decided, the tainted hair would come out. Easier said than done. Ha.

Hour 1: Most of the end of the dred has been successfully removed


Hour 2: Making a bit of headway



Somewhere in between all the pain



Only about 1/4th the size of what was really torn out



Hour 3: One quart of conditioner later. (only im not kidding) Mind you, that's not including the rest of my hair


Hour 3.5: The final product. Ignore the look on my face. It was well past midnight and I had been practically scalped for the past 3.5 hours



So there, I did it. 9 months worth of uncombed hair, only took a mere three and a half hours to completely detangle. Aka: totally worth it. I pry wont comb out my hair for another year or so I hate it so much.

i kinda liked this shot of the weird old knobby thing.

Hapy Birthdy

To my dear friend Katie Gerber. She asked me specifically to "spotlight" her on her birthday. Well, I am a bad friend and didn't get onto my computer until today. So, sorry this is late. But on the plus side, it's not late because as everyone knows, although your birthday might be over and done, it's still yours for another 10 days! Congrats! So I've decided to analyze your name K. (or whatever this is called).
K- is for kind. As in the kind of person you wanna hang around with all day. As in, she cooks me yummy food when i'm at her place and takes me out to yummy places to eat i.e. del taco. She is great at letting people borrow her stuff and she never gets mad when people take stuff without asking.
A- is for American Indian. Hailing from Arizona, Katie comes complete with her own wolf and feathers!

T- is for tan. It must be the Indian blood coursing through her veins. (She's part skinwalker you know.) I only came home to California to try and become blacker than her.
I- is for IIUU. Or as urbandictionary.com puts it, IIUU "Stands for "illegal, immoral, unhealthy, unsafe." Applies to a lot of things. Used by several youth groups as a mantra or a sign of solidarity or pledging. You'll often see graffiti of it in rough urban areas. Pronounced double I double U." Cool huh? I love it. Definitely K.
E- is for effing rad. I would have put the real word on but her name's not Kaftie. Thanks K for being so rad and wearing your grammas shoes so we had something to talk about our first dutch sesh together. You have hot hair, hot kicks and hot threads. Miss your face.



Don't get pisd, its your happy day!

Gone m.i.a?

Besides the lack of new posts (please forgive me one and all), there are a few other things that I've been lacking. Such as things to do, places to go, a closet, and a bed. Sharing a hot stuffy room with two of my younger sisters is already taking its toll. The ever decreasing 83$ left in my bank account is also a persistent reminder of my desperate need of a place with decent pay that's willing to hire some poor college kid in need of a job for less than 2 months.
Drinking ten tons of rootbeer a day, tanlines to make a zebra jealous, and only the best rapper alive can be found blaring from my speakers;
It must be summer.
Bring on the trashy food, trashy music, and even trashier clothes, it's California Love!

Pet Peeves

What I hate more than anything is people telling me how to do my job. It may be surprising I understand, but I have been properly trained for the position I hold. But it really erks my chain when people feel the need to not listen to me or disobey my orders. I.e the stupid lady who came over last night at work and asked me to clean up her stupid bloody leg. Asking for Kleenex to wipe it up (which would have obviously gotten stuck in her open wound) and then rejecting my offer of an alcohol prep pad to clean the wound because "it would sting". Fine. So I gave her a gauze pad and shoved it up her stupid fat arse.

Also, I have a spanish paper due at 2pm today. Which I havent started. Hello online translator.

Post Script: I do apologize for my overuseage of Italics.

Twilight.. Its the safest time of day for us, the easiest time. But also the saddest in a way...the end of another day, the return of night.

Twilight. Ok so I've been boarding obsession with the book for about the past five years now. Reading and rereading. I've endured many a cruel word for the plain and simple fact that I cannot and will not be parted with the book. After entering the magical and envious world for the first time, as soon as I hit page 498, back I went to page 1 to lose myself in it's pages for the second time in a row. Regardless of anyone may think of this fixation of mine, I remain obstinate in my decision. Giving me a new determination to never settle for anything less than my own form of vampiric lifeblood (pardon the pun).

"Before you my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there where stars - points of light & reason.
And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire, there was brilliancy, there was beauty.
When you where gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black." -Edward

Now to my immense delight, Twilight the motion picture event is scheduled for release this year. I have faith that it will meet my own expectations. Besides the cast being quite talented (and about 3/5ths of them being ex cast members of the OC) they're all ridiculously good-looking.


Did I mention they're all ridiculously good-looking?

Kellan Lutz as Emmett Cullen
Elizabeth Reaser as Esme Cullen
Nikki Reed- Rosalie Hale
Peter Facinelli as Carlisle
Ashley Greene as Alice Cullen
Jackson Rathbone as Jasper
Cam Gigandet as James
Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan
Robert Pattinson as the long awaited Edward Cullen
(If most of these names are unknown to you, look them up, print out their pictures, and tape them above your bed so you can fall asleep and dream of their gorgeousnessosity). I hope that for those of you anti-Edwards out there might forget anything youve heard otherwise and pick one up for yourselves. Then call me and we can go on the best date ever to see the most highly anticipated movie of my life.
