an aspiring writer...when she's bored

we traveled on a plane...no, no imagination. i thought maybe you and i could...could what? who's even speaking? hmmm...a swarm of bees!...where could a swarm of bees come from? like that time in third grade when there was a small honeycomb on the soccer field and every kid in the entire school said it was a swarm of killer bees (i know, we're so gullible but we were kids). hand sanitizer. where does it come from? why is it on the computer desk? probably because everyone's hands tough the keyboard and katie perez would NEVER touch this computer if there was no hand sanitizer w/in reach. i'm so glad i'm done w/ my homework...but now i'm bored. maybe i should see how many words i can misspell. no, i can't do it! every time i misspell a word, my finger automatically goes to the "delete" button. oh i'm cursed!!!!! imdb...i wonder why we call this thing the internet. whatever happened to the web? i mean, that's what it was called in the first place. hm...some people are crazy. then again, i'm thinking out-loud on a blog for everyone to hear my thoughts. it's exactly the same as talking to oneself. i should shut-up. why did i call myself an "aspiring writer"?

ode to daniel and jeddie

so i have these two friends that are some of the cutest and coolest guys in the whole world. there's daniel joshua mendez: he makes everything awkward, but who couldn't love this kid? yesterday, we were sitting in red robin as we were waiting for the rest of our friends to get there and there was this couple outside like making out and it was pretty gross. so daniel turns to me and says, :those people have been making out for like 15 minutes," and then he looked at me (i don't know why) and then he looked at his hands in his lap and i was like, "um yeah, i know." i don't really know what about the situation was so awkward, but it was! and today in drama class, i made the mistake of asking him to help me with my monologue and just stand on stage as i sang to him. he was like biting his lip to keep from laughing and then i was about to hold his arms because it went with the song and he burst out with laughter which made me laugh and then everyone else started laughing and things just went wrong.

then there's jeddie: his name is actually edward jacob, but he doesn't care which name we call him by, so we just combined the two into "jeddie". well...he's kind of a rebel. but he is so funny and he can be cute when he wants to be. he's a great kid and i never am sad around him. he's a great friend and i'm pretty sure he would beat up any guy that would ever try to hurt me.

people can be so great right? especially guys, they're so chill! these kids are way cool and i get to spend almost every day with them!

gin joint

so in drama every semester, we end it off w/ a one act play that's our final. first semester, the best final gets to perform in spotlight for the whole school all day! and guess what? our final won! my friend jacquie wrote a final called "gin joint" and it was about a speakeasy in the 1920s! i was the cop...and i was a guy. it was fun though!

formal

omh i loved winter formal! i had this amazing dress and i thought i looked so pretty, and apparently, Noah Hernandez thought so too. it was so much fun. may date Gabriel and i danced and we would chill outside when it got too hot. he totally clipped this black girl Jackie Ford in the face. he was putting on his jacket and she happened to be walking by and...you can figure out the rest. we went bowling after the dance and well, that was kind of embarrassing because i had this huge dress on and i was the only girl who actually bowled and yeah. it was fun just awkward. another awkward moment: Gabe and i stopped w/ my mom at smart & final and we didn't want to go inside and mom was like, yeah just stay in the car, but she had on some like slow jazz music and it was weird because when i think of that i associate it w/ dancing cheek-to-cheek so the only way to like not feel awkward was to constantly talk and i was thinking of like random stories to tell like when john stepped on the mouse in the house and other odd things like that. it turned out okay though.

heavy times

so i have this friend that i am not happy with. he's kind of an old friend. i've known him for a few years and i have to admit, he's a little bit too old for me to hang out with. well, he's been doing things that aren't so great and i am really P.O.ed at him for being so stupid. the thing that really bugs me is that he's going for my innocent friends. i don't think i have to reiterate how annoyed and disgusted i am with him. you know, i used to think he was a good kid. oh boy was i wrong. often times when i catch myself thinking about him, i start panting with rage because i just get so furious thinking about what is going on. i don't mean to sound like the huge protector or anything, but i have an obligation to my friends, right? not even that, i just have an obligation to do what's right...no matter how much it hurts me. i know i have every reason to hate this guy right now, but i really can't help but feel sorry for him. i think what bugs me the most is the fact that no one is going to say something, so i have to. i've never turned someone in before, so i'm not exactly sure how to do it. i'm not going to the cops seeing as the girls he's been fooling around with did so willingly and even thoug he is an adult and should know better, i can't help but see the kid in him and feel like i'm tossing him in juvie. so, i guess i have to go to the school and say something and they can go from there. it's just i can't have that on my conscience knowing that i could have done something. that doesn't keep me from feeling bad. i sometimes wonder, am i doing the right thing?

FREEDOM!!!!!!!

omh, guess what? I got my license yesterday! i am so excited. i got to drive to rehearsal today and everything. oh, so much has been going on, it's crazy. first, i made the play. i didn't get the part i wanted, but i am used to that kind of disappointment by now. i still have fun with the part i got. i also have a date for winter formal. he's cute. man, now that i think of it, there isn't too much to say. nonetheless, I AM SO EXCITED!!!!
