Soo its over.. I might have complained, freaked out, or gone into some kind of rambling about the horrors of the Fashion Show. Manolo's screams of scolding, LO ESTAN HACIENDO MAL CHICAS AY hmm when you're in the same room and have met him it IS scary! but in the end it all turned out soo good! I wore a navy t-shirt with a ripped hole on the side and a cream colored skirt.. and heels hehe.
I was there from 3 pm to 2 am, which was awesome! seeing how i got to spend some great times with my friends here, we freaked, got our hair done, got our scarry color make up done, and then sat back and enjoyed the guys get their hair (colored mohaks) and makeup(shiny chest) done. The outfits were either crazy or plain but still we enjoyed it.
The 30 minute long fashioin show was cut down to 10 minutes because we walked soo fast! it was soo great! my head hurts from the amount of pins there were holding up curls (photos on facebook later) and my eyes are watering from the fake eyelashes and amount of makeup but i loved it!
I recommend fashion shows to everyone at least once.. but HELL NO i wouldnt do it again ever!
oh and yeah, La fiesta estuvo bomba!

The Hives- Love in the Plaster |
] |
Ok so I never talk about who I like or what is really going on in my life or how i'm feeling. I'm very closed and i really cna't help it. So now here is me trying to talk about my crush huh? ok this is a very bad attempt. Enjoy my boy troubles.
So there is this guy i used to go to school with, he was my best friend when we were little and now turns out he grew up to, he grew up to be the McDreamy of the school. So obviously I started to like him. Well he's very aware of his spark with the ladies and is very social and ADD too. So of course as any other girl, the unattainable raises interest. ;-/
Well I started meeting girls who had crushes on him like one of my friends. It was actually funny how i found out she had a crush on him but thats another story. Well i have another friend who is very... well...flirtatious, promiscuous... i don't really know how to put it well she came up to me one day and I asked her how her crush on this guy was going, "Oh thats over," she said, "I like this junior now, Hume." If i had been drinking or eating something it would have spitted it all over her face. So now this is a girl who is very determined to get her way, you know the type sweet but determined. So yesterday at a party we went to he was there, and she saw him, and started dancing with him and hardcore flirting. One would have thought it would make me jealous but instead it made me realize that he can't be that kind of guy, the guy you go out with and can have something with. He's the guy who you're friends with and can trust and hang out with but never have something with.
So there you go, another boy flame blown out.

I could say something, but its not like i have any choice, i have to go. Not just because of like "family responsibility" but just in a general moral requirement. Its wrong not to go, even if i did have a choice. Still hard. I know I people will find out about the event and go and then more drama, but if i can avoid them finding about it then i will.

I got into the college of my choice. I did early admission and I'm in and done. My dad still wants me to apply to ITAM (his college) for administration de empresas, but no.
So far what have i done? Um a party or two, lots of homework and stress, and depression. Ok so not really depressed but just felt like it. Ugh I'm so frustrated sometimes, and I've talked to this to some people and they've given me advice, but what i can't do is act on it, sure I could tell him what I feel but if he really doesn't feel what I feel and then it gets akward and blah! You know what i mean. I've decided to ignore my senses and go with gut, so lets just drop that subject.
So I'm trying to convince my parents to let me come for New Years! Its the last party at Adam's house!!! so i really want to go! They're the best parties!!
Remeber the whole, I can't go emotional on lj thing? yep still applies. hmm finals

I've decided that the best costume I saw this year where two. It was a real tie.
One friend dressed up as Clark Kent, Reporter outfit included a hat. The final touch was he was wearing the spiderman costume underneath and had his shirt have opened and tie undone a bit. I'm not a fan of Superman but that was pretty awesome.
The second was another friend who had the Phantom of the Opera costume, but he had even grown the small beard. Pretty hardcore.

KT Tunstall-Otherside of the world |

Every morning when I'm out waiting for the bus to come by and I'm listening to my Ipod freezing my ass off, there are certain songs that come up that remind me of several things. Friends, Carlos, theatre, and just houston in general. As I'm drowning the voices of the little kids on the bus I flip through my pictures on my Ipod.
I can't seem to let go, I know I must adjust here, and I really want to and sort of am, but I can't help turning and thinking of the past. It always comes up, in every aspect. I have like 20 different pictures of my brother in my room that I found while i was moving, obviously most of them involve him holding on to a controller or in some cases the guitar hero controller. they used to make me cry. Obvious reaction I guess.
Some people thought I don't like to cry, thats actually not true. I feel even better after I cry, but i'm just not capable of crying in public. Not because I think i'll appear weak and I want to be strong, I just can't help holding it in. So now I've had time to let it out. truth be told I accepted the terms long before anything happened, actually i accepted them specifically after Eugenia died. It all became more serious more real. No one said it out loud but we all knew what was probably going to happen. It wasnt a worse case scenario anymore.
I really appreciate your support, and I'm so glad I had you guys there with me. Really made me feel loved and I don't think I could've have gone through it all without you.
I love you all.
The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside of the world to me

So Martis got married on saturday, I was a bridesmaid and I guess everything went according to plan..(hehe Corpse Bride) Well she looked gorgeous as always, in her white dress. Jorge was smiling like a buffoon, i mean sure he's gone back to college and is working but still he works at his father's karaoke bar. His job is a joke, he spends his time on msn. Jorge's brother was wearing a mustard colored suit, so we called him "mostaza" from the moment we saw him. He didn't hear us thankfully. Thank god we didn't get ugly bridesmaid dresses this time. Since it was rushed she just told us to get fuschia colored dresses. We all matched kind of, same colors different styles. They played really good music at the reception, mostly salsa and kumbias. They later turned to swing ad the classic wedding songs.
So how do I feel about this?
Thats a really good question. I don't know. My family is really pissed and keeps saying that she ruined her life. I think differently. I don't think she ruined her life, its not her fault, these things happen. It really depresses me how even after all this my uncles keep fighting about this whole thing. She's married, she has a home, we're all going to help out. So as long as Jorge gets an actual job they'll be fine.
In other events, Tom is coming back to Mexico!!! *cough* yeah .....its great, since no one knows who Tom is ;-) and you'll never know. *dives into bushes*
I decided what i'm going to be for Halloween, A NINJA!! I'll figure out who to get the outfit soon...hehe I should watch KungFu Hustle in preparation. That is a great movie. I also saw Mrs. Henderson Presents. It was such a great movie! Hilarious!! Please rent it.
My school play is going to be The Producers this year. They do one per year I think. I'm not joining. Not only because its different ambiente but...they're mostly potheads, the drama room smells like pot 24-7 its disgusting.
I think people should apologize. three words, so simple. why do you have to keep being such a hypocrite? Open your eyes, if you know how much hurt you've caused people in the past, then you should be fully aware of how much pain you're causing people NOW. Do something about it, its senior year dude don't be such a prick

In one week, my cousin is getting married..by the church. Legally she's already married. Its just frustrating because they rushed into everything, i doubt they've even considered any of the things we(the family) have been freaking out about. For example: WHY THE FUCK are they moving in after the wedding.! She's pregnant and has no fucking idea whats going on with her body, she should just stay in her parents house until the baby is born. But no! hmm ok normally i'd think its logical for them to move in together but not after everything thats happened in the past few weeks. Its just really frustrating.
in other news my literature class read a play by Federico Garcia Lorca (yes another) this one was called Yerma. It was really pointless at first but then after analizing it, it turned out to be a pretty intresting read. I mean the whole ending was just kind of confusing (incleded an orgy)
So good stuff......um....yeah I went to Hunans on thursday for my dad's birthday and it was delicous!! I've had such a craving for chinese ever since i left houston!!
hm what else? >YEah ok i lead a very boring and unfulfilling life. I finally got an appointment to get a visa but its not until the 20th of october so grr

So I'm not going to Houston this week or anytime this month. If i'm luck I'll be able to go in October *wink wink*
And I'll probably be losing my US phone in the next month or two so e-mail would be good.
If anyone wants my phone number (for some weird phenomenal reason you might call) send me a message via facebook, myspace, e-mail, aim, etc etc.
So concert on thursday and El grito is on friday
El grito is our declaration of independance.
It was when the mexican war of independance was declared. Benito Juarez yelled from the top of a church "VIVA MEXICO, VIVA GUADALAJARA,VIVA OAXACA, etc"
So at midnight the president goes out in the zocalo and yells it too as a symbol. Fireworks and parties start and i'll probably go to my school party not sure yet.
Thursday I'll go to New Pornographers concert and friday afternoon i'll go see snakes on a plane with Ana and maybe Maria Rosa.

Ok getting it together. It's not so bad a little akward but ok. I'm still in shock though. WOW She's married. Oh god that means I'm next on my mom's side. ugh its sad how the logic of mexican familes works. Ok i caught my breath. That was such an akward night though. Standing around talking and standing and talking and standing. My grandpa didn't go, he used the "i'm old" excuse, at least thats what my grandma said.
So I'm actually taking Philosophy in school instead of AP Economics. We take a shitload of notes. Imagine Melancon's class but without a laptop or powerpoint hand out.
Snakes on a Plane comes out tomorrow, I never would have found out but this guy was talking about it and telling people they had to see it. I'll eventually go to see it again with Ana and Maria Rosa.
So every thursday we have this thing called Advisory. You go to a classroom and meet with your group. Its fun because we don't do anything for 40 minutes. The teachers makes food, today she made chilaquiles and damn they were hott. Pican! It was amusing to see these other new girls who were from michigan and south america try it.
I haven't done much. Ana lent me some movies that I finished watching, these included:
The Usual Suspects
Reservoir Dogs
Green street hooligans
Naranja Mecanica(clockwork orange)
The Big Lebowski
School is still kind of akward. I know some more people and their cool but I just expect to one day suddenly walk out a door and be magically transported to the courtyard or something.
I'll let you know when I'm going to houston exactly but I think its the 14th I'll double check.
Miss you guys

Just when I thought my life was back together shit happens, everything falls apart again and there is nothing I can do.
I just need a break but no I'm still at my grandma's and I have no way of getting to see my cousin.
I have to take a chapter worth of notes for two different classes. One for a teacher who doesn't teach, doesn't give notes, instead opens up to a website and reads directly from it in class. The website isn't even relevant to the chapter. Then she lectures us because we didn't know anything that was on the quiz. She never told us what chapter to study so we all studied chapter two instead of chapter three.
Sitting around on my butt helpless really makes a difference!

Three Mexicans fishers show up in the middle of the ocean stranded near Australia. Turns out they've been out there for nine months and started in a small town in Mexico. When they asked how they survived they answered, "We survived by eating flying fish, sharks, fish, seagulls and rain water."
After interviewing all three of the guys, it turns out that there were actually 5 guys on the boat. Funny thing is that only one of the fishers counted five.
Obviously something is going on here? Personally i don't think 3 guys can survive in a little fishing boat out at sea for nine months. What about vitamin C? Storms? I mean the boat is pretty small! I saw the video. HOW THE HELL DID THEY END UP IN AUSTRALIA?!?
And even more...Why does Reforma smell like pee?
At least i know the answer to the second question. El Pinche Peje and his pejelandia

It still hasn't hit me that I'm back home. I'm still at my grandma's because now it turns out that not all the plugs work so they're going to have to start from scratch. I have a shitload of homework, I went to the party I mentioned before and had fun. It was weird though seeing people I hadn't seen in 6 years at this random party. I scared the hell out of one of my brothers friends when I asked him what he was drinking. His face went blank and he just started stuttering. I was just like, "i'm not going to tell your mom calm down." It was fun overall because one of the guys at my school is a dj so he played all the music. I danced with some girls i met and talked to one of my old friends who showed up there. his name is Hume and I'm pretty sure he beats us all with his ADD. its ridiculous how easily distracted he is.
Then on saturday I went to a wedding. My dad's best friend invited us to his daughter's wedding. They went to college together and then somehow we ended up living on the same street. Anyways they're a family of five and the eldest was well on her way of becoming a nun but she met this guy and tada! wedding. Then there is Juliet in the middle and Tom who was the youngest. He's 19 now so that was a shock cause ...he's freakishly tall. I saw him atthe mass and I was soo confused it was like NO that can't be tom! tom is smaller and well geekier ..with glasses and everything." but yep it was Tom. I hadn't seen him in 7 years because they went to live in London. His Dad is english and his mom is mexican. His cousin also used to live down the street but she went to live in San Antonio randomly one day. So I saw her too. And then there were these two other guys whose parents were also friends with his parents so obviously they came to the wedding too. 300 people accounted for.
Here was the cute thing. The only real kids there were these three english boys who danced really funny. It was soo cute. When the music started and after the bride and groom danced and the parents danced with them Isabel and I just took one of the little boys and started dancing salsa with them. Obviously you have to start the dancing with salsa and merengue. They were soo cute, they were so enthralled by the concept of spinning people around. We spent the whole evening on the dancefloor..except when they served the chilaquiles around 4am. Youcan't miss the chilaquiles at weddings. The reception started around 8pm and ended at 6:30am It was normal mexican wedding. It was a lot of fun.
I might be coming to houston on friday but i'll only be there one night so basically i'd get to houston around 8pm or so and i'm going to leave early saturday morning because I'm driving the car down to Mexico with my dad.
PS good song to look up would be "color de esperanza" by diego torres.

So much for quitting coffee.. they sell coffee at my school. From machiatto to cappuchino to frappuchino. yeah... that worked out nicely.
I like my new school. It was really weird going through the halls and not knowing anybody. Except maybe like 4 people and thats very iffy because i don't even know all their names.. I know their nicknames though! Opa, Chelo, Sergie, Choco. um yeah... that helps I guess. I saw some of my old school friends and that freaked me out even more! So um my schedule?
schedula A
anatomy and physiology
english IV a
physics
Spanish Lit III
schedule B
Precalculus
Mexican Law
AP Economics
Ceramics(I'm going to see if i can change that)
its like the complete opposite of st agnes. No uniform, you can wear skirts, tank tops... The guys can have their hair as long as they want. Of course there is a mandatory bus but meh thats not a big deal as long as you're on time to the stop.
um its really creepy how much of a change it is. Its back to handnotes for me! yay ...egh. With my crappy handwriting thats definetly going to work out. the good thing is that in english we get to read the cantebaury tales. That really made me happy! we first we have to read boring beowoulf(sp?)
SO my house? not ready yet. They put in the new carpet tomorrow and maybe!! just maybe! we can move in on wednesday.
I got to finish my english homework now...
