habits.

i realized today people have really disgusting habits. well, one in particular. i was walking behind some freshman (i think) today and out of nowhere, what does he decided to do? spit. yes, he decided to eject his wonderful saliva out of his mouth and onto the ground i was about to walk on. i mean, really, kid? gee-ross. so for future reference, let's not spit anywhere within a 50,829 meter radius of athena. thanks. or, hey, maybe we could just not spit....ever! you can spit when you brush your teeth though. or if you eat something disgusting. i'll give you that much. see how much i care?

as for me, the most disgusting habit i have is...procrastination. it's nauseating really. i'll try and break that habit right now. if only for today.

love actually.

this movie has it all :)

sick, meet boredom.

"nina, wake up. it's a quarter to seven."
i didn't move. more like i couldn't.
i heard my sister get up from her bed. i still didn't move.
the door opened.
"is she going to school today?"
"i don't know. she's not getting up."
the door closed.
i went back to sleep, then a while later i felt the right side of my bed sink down. my mom was sitting on the edge trying to wake me up.
"are you okay? are you going to school today?"
i opened my eyes and stared at her for a couple seconds. then mustered the strength to shake my head from side to side.
"okay," she said. then walked out of my room.

i woke up with a little pain in between my eyebrows, but the sun was shining happily through my windows. i didn't want to put my glasses on cause that'd just make the pain worse, so i strained my eyes to read the clock on the other side of the room. i could barely make out that the big hand was on the 6 and the little hand was barely above the 9. 9:30, i thought to myself. that means i'd still be in a math right now... suddenly my sickness didn't seem like such a bad thing anymore.

but as the hours wore on, i couldn't help but wish i was at school with friends doing something more then lying in my bed and watching my dog walk around, trying to find some entertainment of her own. it was nice having my first day off of school, but having a less than sufficient amount of human contact all day was getting to me. by twelve o'clock i had gone through four chapters of the scarlet letter, finished my division/classification paragraph on music, and even managed to do my french homework. if that doesn't show how ridiculously bored i was, i don't know what will.

anyway, i think it's time for me to get myself out of my bed. or maybe i'll do some more reading. who knows. hope your day was dandy. now stop reading this and do your homework.

(p.s. 20 days until Christmas!)

disconnected.

as i'm about to head to bed, i just realized i didn't watch tv at all today. not one second. i never even touched the remote. this astounds me greatly. but i really should disconnect myself from the tube more often. i feel...rejuvenated today. it's interesting. okay, that is all. time for head to meet pillow. goodnight, friends.

hiccups, headache, homework, & hibernating.

hiccups. after i walked into french today, i kinda went into a hiccuping fit. have i ever mentioned just how annoying i think hiccups are? cause they're really really annoying. right when i got into my seat they started. i hiccuped and hiccuped, then held my breath and then....still hiccuped. so i held my breath some more, still hiccuped, drank some water, held my breath again, then more hiccups. this is seriously the most i've ever been frustrated by hiccups. they wouldn't go away!! finally after some more breath holding and water drinking, they went away, but then guess what i got?

a headache. i think cutting off the proper flow of oxygen to my brain caused this to happen, so i'm not exactly surprised. (darn you hiccups!!). i called my mom right after school so she could come pick me up and while i waited for her i laid on the benches in the parking lot area. the sun kinda made me feel better cause i was cold, but i just wanted to sleep. so, i got home at 2:00 and instead of sleeping i decided to do...

homework. why? i don't know. i think i figured that knowing i got homework out of the way early would help me sleep easier. (and wow, was i right). but while i was halfway through math homework, guess what decided to show up again. my hiccups! i wanted to shoot them. (but that wouldn't turn out very well cause technically if i shot them, i'd be shooting myself. and, well, i don't wanna die). anyway, they didn't last for very long, and i think i was too intent upon finishing my homework to really care as much anymore. so i finished homework at 3:30 (i know, right?!) and decided that i should do some...

hibernating. i was only planning on sleeping for an hour, so i set my alarm for 4:30 and, well, my alarm woke me up at 4:30 and i shut it off, but decided to lay there for a little while and....ended up sleeping for 2 more hours. usually when this happens i get really mad at myself cause i still have homework to do, but this time i didn't! yay. so basically from 3:30 to 6:30 i was shut off from the world, and i must say, it was very nice.

frozen.

with her backpack unzipped and the contents spilling out, a precalc book yearning to be closed because of the hours it had spent open, a binder, and a few loose papers strewn around her, plus a laptop on her stomach, she lay in bed completely oblivious to all of these things. the heat of the laptop was the only thing she was aware of because it was keeping her nice and warm. she didn't know what time it was, but that didn't really matter to her. she wasn't that tired, but then again she was. her body was tired, but her brain wasn't. she could hear her sister breathing in the bed next to her's. it was a little soothing, knowing she wasn't alone in the room. she was lying on her back with her hands resting behind her head, staring at the ceiling. the walls of her room were green, but her ceiling was a blank white. she stared at it for a while, then slowly began thinking about, well, life. it started off with how her day had been, then yesterday, then the day before, the whole week, then the school year. she remembered all the good things, then all the not-so-good. the ceiling wasn't blank anymore. as she stared at it, she could see all of these things happening again.

after thinking and watching for a while, she closed her eyes. her brain was still awake, so everything kept playing. she doesn't know how long she stayed like that, but it felt like a really long time.

then...she opened her eyes. everything was where it had been some forty-five, sixty, ninety minutes ago. the backpack, the binder, the math book, the laptop -- everything. the ceiling was blank again and she was in the exact same position. it was as if time had stood still. it felt as though she had just gone through a whole new day. she had been with the people she loved, she did things that made her happy, and she regretted none of it. she put everything away and went to bed, still hearing the sound of her sister's breathing. and she found comfort in knowing she'd still be there in the morning.

happiness is...

1. realizing the best present is quality time with a good friend.
2. hearing josh groban's voice.
3. watching your dog sleep on your bed.
4. still having leftover birthday cake in the fridge for a midnight snack.
5. getting homework out of the way.
6. cuddling up in blankets with Christmas music bouncing off the walls of your room.
7. watching a dad and three little ones walk out of a maternity store with a present for their mom.
8. having santa wave at you in your car.
9. listening to the rain while you're lying in bed.
10. knowing there's only 24 days until Christmas.

i'm happy.

my Christmas tune.

"what to give the girl who has everything. all i want for Christmas is you. here’s my list, i checked it twice. wasn’t good, wasn’t bad, i was naughty and nice. had my eye on you all year long and now i know for sure. i wouldn’t even have to try you on. no need for gift return.

it’s going to be a cold winter, but i wont need the heat to keep me warm. as long as you wrap yourself around me on Christmas morn’. whether it’s now or later, as long as it’s before you go, you know. my love is always in your favor. and now you know that all i want for Christmas...is...

sweet like a candy cane hanging from the tree, i will stripe you red and green. when you hit me like a sugar rush, no need for the other stuff. this season you’re all that i need. they say wishing for you is like wishing for snow in southern california, but you know that i can prove them all wrong cause my love is true. i simply adore ya.

it’s going to be a cold winter, but i wont need the heat to keep me warm. as long as you wrap yourself around me on Christmas morn’. whether it’s now or later, as long as it’s before you go, you know. my love is always in your favor. and now you know that all i want for Christmas...is...

can’t say that i’ve been good all year, but i’ve been making resolutions to get you here. and if it means being better then whatever, no sweat. well i bet my halls that i deck for the cause. and santa claus, he knows what my intentions are. even dismissing mistletoe so i get to know ya, first of all. singing oh my God, you’re the reason that i decorate my yard.

it’s going to be a cold winter, but i wont need the heat to keep me warm. as long as you wrap yourself around me on Christmas morn’. whether it’s now or later, as long as it’s before you go, you know. my love is always in your favor. and now you know that all i want for Christmas...all i want for Christmas...all i want for Christmas is us."

well, duh i had to.

(if you could only understand how much i love them. really.)

it's a beautiful morning.

i wake up to the smell of my mom's french toast running through the house and into my room. i place my glasses on my head and find a fresh batch sitting on the kitchen table. oh, how i love her french toast. as i savor this delicious morning treat, i find notting hill playing on tv. how perfect could that be? my mom's french toast and cuddling in blankets with a cute movie to watch in peace. then i walk into the living room and what do i find? the Christmas tree! every year after thanksgiving (and at times even before) i bug my mom over and over again about getting to put the Christmas tree up. in my opinion, getting to decorate the Christmas tree is one of the best parts about Christmas. then we get to go through the millions of boxes of old pictures we have and change the picture we have on our ornament (cause we all have our own). it's so much fun. it really starts to feel like Christmas once i get to walk into the living room every morning and see it all decked out with lights and ribbons and whatnot. have i mentioned how much i love Christmas? because i really do think that should be articulated several thousand times and then some.

and you know what else made this morning perfect? while i was watching notting hill and it cut to commercial, i switched to VH1 to catch the top 20 countdown and the second i got to the channel GUESS WHAT STARTED PLAYING. just guess. THE VIDEO PREMIERE OF "WON"T GO HOME WITHOUT YOU." ahhhhhhhh! i didn't think they'd play it until later, but i guess i was wrong. i was so so so happy. maroon 5 tends to have that effect on me. this could possibly even have made up for the fact that i didn't get my weekly dose of a brand new office. possibly. sigh, if i could only go to their concert just once in my life...

anywho, i shall end this. the Christmas tree looks lonely. it needs some decorating love.

i think out of all of my friends this year, kathleen is one of a few that i have become ridculously close to. we didn't talk much last year, just the occasionally "hey!" during passing periods or whatnot. but this year we talk way more. and i'm really really glad we do. happy sixteenth, kathleen.

survivor man.

so i didn't get to watch the office on thursday cause my mind was being lame and not keeping track of the time, so i just missed it. but luckily anaoshak and raghav missed it too. so last night at the sleepover after we watched zoolander we hopped onto the internet and watched it on nbc's website. and let me tell you, i love watching the office with other people! it makes it twenty-four and a half times better than watching it on your own. i guess that goes for watching anything, but i mean when you have other office fanatics around you, it's pretty awesome. cause for people who don't watch it on a regular basis, the office isn't that funny to them cause they don't really get it (their loss). anyway, it was a super funny episode. i wish it would go back to an hour.

Toby: Ryan invited me to go on his wilderness adventure retreat. It was this amazing, beautiful, it--
[Michael bangs on conference room window]
Michael: Hey! Nobody cares. Nobody cares... I need that room, at some point so, just... wrap it up!
Toby: Michael wasn't invited.

Michael: When I return, I hope to be a completely changed human being.
Jim: That'd be great.

and the best ending ever...
Michael: Just wait. 10 years, you'll figure it out.
Jim: Well, I don't think I'll be here in 10 years, but...
Michael: That's what I said. [pause] That's what she said.
Jim: That's what who said?
Michael: I never know. I just say it. I say stuff like that, you know, to lighten the tension, when things sort of get hard--
Jim: That's what she said.
Michael: Hey! Nice! Really good. [pause] Bravo. My young 'ward.

the office makes me happy.

lint licker!

haha, if only this gum could actually stop people from swearing like sailors. how perfect would that be?

woah.

me on november 7, 2007:

(don't you love those hair ties?)
it was creepy seeing these pictures side by side. major deja vu. plus, on both of these days we pigged out majorly before taking any pictures. looks like some things will never change :)

small.

"reach up." - kimly.
as lame as it might have looked to people passing by in their cars, it was a very enlightening moment for me. two girls walking through the neighborhood looking up at the sky and reaching for something that wasn't necessarily even there. doesn't make much sense, right? (just looked like we were trying to catch a fly or something.) but to the girl who is still trying to figure out this world, it made perfect sense. i never really stopped to think how big the world really is, but when i stuck my hand up towards the sky today, i think it kinda just hit me. never in my life have i ever felt so small. the best thing about it was that despite the fact that i am small compared to this huge earth and that i am just one person out of 6 billion that inhabit it, i am not insignificant. sometimes it takes time with people you really love to figure that out.

word of the day.

DEBAUCHERY (dĭ-bô'chə-rē) n. - "life of sin and moral degradation."
oh, the things i learn from teachers...they can be quite unexpected. and i've realized that the little tidbits that i pick up here and there from them are far more interesting than listening to them talk about something i don't want to learn about. anyway, thank you for adding this wonderful new word to my vocabulary mr. ramirez. i think.

spill!

have you ever picked up a cup thinking there was nothing left inside and then having the contents of the cup spill over everything, proving you wrong? well, i have. about 2 seconds ago. not a very fun surprise. like my backpack could use anymore damage -_-

but that's not really the point of this post. (there's not really an exact point, but anyway...) when i spilled my drink, it reminded me of that book i read in second grade, it looked like spilt milk. anyone? anyone? well anyway it was basically a book about, well, spilled milk and what shapes it looked like from different points of view. yes, it was very second grade. but very interesting. the spilled milk looked like an ice cream cone, then it looked like an angel, then a bird, then a birthday cake. pretty trippy for a second grader.

as for my spilled drink, it looked like giraffe. or a flamingo. one of the two.

crazy place.

"it's the most beautiful thing i think i've ever seen. a homeless child playing with something as simple as a cardboard box. and he seems so happy with that smile on his face, like nothing matters. he's so serene; when he doesn't even know if he's gonna live through another day and worrying about what he's gonna be. when i look at that it kinda makes me feel guilty cause the world that i live in only seems to care about having enough money to buy luxurious things that we don't even need. i'm not trying to be the good girl and save the world cause i do the same dang thing.

isn't it a shame? but we only have ourselves to blame. purity is a beautiful thing, but it's lost somewhere along the way to money and fame. isn't the world a crazy place?"

happy birthday, mr. ramirez!

(dangit, i lost that sweater =/)

quote of the day.

"someday you'll find someone to shoot darts at and you'll be happy."
- mr. stevens (the master)

daydreaming.

i believe i've finally figured it out. 'it' being why i can never remember my dreams that i have at night anymore. it's because during the day, i daydream so much that it takes up all the strength my brain has that would normally be used to dream at night. so basically, instead of dreaming while i'm asleep, i dream when i'm awake. weird, right? but seriously, this whole daydreaming thing that i have going on can be very inconvenient at times. when i walk around school, yes, i'm physically there. but mentally my mind is in la la land. it's kind of ridiculous how spaced out i always am these days...

and it's not even cause i have a whole bunch on my mind to think about. i literally dream. it's like this whole thing playing in my mind, scene by scene. it sounds freaky, right? and well....it is. i don't even know how to describe it properly. it's the most random things ever that pop into my head. i don't get it. really, i don't.

the only good thing about this is that it makes the days go by way fast. like today, it doesn't even feel like i went to school. at least not for 6 hours. fortunately, i can say i haven't run into anything while walking during passing periods and daydreaming at the same time. although, my awareness of the environment around me is still quite limited. last week i was walking from my locker to mr. ramirez's room and on my way there, four different people at different times waved to me and i didn't even notice them until they called my name or something. i didn't notice kathleen until she was right next to me and grabbed my arm to get my attention, which snapped me out of whatever i was thinking about. and i didn't even notice victoria until she was waving her hand 2 centimeters from my face.

yea, i still can't describe it. haha, i don't know. never you mind.

right now...

...and for the past, oh, 4-or-so hours, i have been doing everything humanly possibly (hence this post) to avoid writing my essay. so i'm thinking it's time to crack down on this thing. let's see what i can accomplish before 1:00, shall we? ihop better have good service tomorrow. (i'll be there in about 7 hours.........)

blisters.

so basically, i came home today and collapsed on my bed. literally. my legs felt like jell-o. the flip-flops i wore to school today = not made for all day walking. especially walking all the way to juice it up and back (plus to the community center and halfway back to school beforehand). i guess it was good though cause it burned off some of those calories i accumulated during the committee meeting today. leftovers will be the death of me...

and as i complain endlessly about being dead from all the walking i did after school, it was completely worth it. i think today has to be one of the best days of my junior year. if not the best. minus of course feeling really really bad about the whole hau incident...which was shane's fault!! scariest thing ever. aklsdjlkasjf; hahaha. but anyway, taking an hour and a half walk with shane was good for the mind. not worrying about crap and just...living. aww, he's so gay :) just ask him. HAHHAHA.

and then coming back to school and getting covered in paint by christina was a nice way to end my day. that was such sparta. but it was a sign of affection. i know it.

...PEACE IS CHEAPER! yea. happy tie-dye tuesday.

ok, it's alright with me.

"ok, it's alright with me. some things are just meant to be. it never comes easily and when it does i'm already gone. i'm practically never still. more likely to move until i end up alone at will. my life continues inching along. when bernadette comes i get lost on her time. she's much too sweet and she's always gonna be. when i return to her arms and her eyes it might not be the same but it's alright with me. ok, it's alright with me. some people are scared to see what's happening frequently, but i would never shy from a fight. heartbeat with a high demand often will go hand in hand, but i'm sick of just starting plans. i wanna spend the rest of my life..."

i like...

compliments. but really, who doesn't? it's on days like these that they can really make my day. it's funny how they can come from people you would never expect, too. those are always nice. but for me, it's best when they come from people that mean something to me. people that i know care. it's nice being reminded, you know? so thank you. "you're a great friend" too.

movie night!

mr. stevens....you cannot be SIRIUS.
such a great night!

jenna & john.

i love them!! if i had to pick which celebrities i'd want to meet most, it would have to be these two. thursday nights are the highlight of my week! :)

la la la...

[Luke and Jess apartment hunting]

JESS: Forget it.
LUKE: Why, what was wrong with that one?
JESS: It was pink.
LUKE: We can paint it.
JESS: You mean I can paint it.
LUKE: We can paint it together.
JESS: Great, then we can hold hands and skip afterwards.
LUKE: Fine, which one do you like?
JESS: The one before.
LUKE: The one with the two fridges?
JESS: No.
LUKE: Well, the one before was the one with two fridges.
JESS: No, the one we saw before was the one with the cat.
LUKE: I hate cats.
JESS: Well, I don’t think the cat came with the place.
LUKE: Yeah, but it had carpeting which means it’s always gonna smell like a cat.
JESS: Clean the carpet.
LUKE: Paint the pink.
JESS: Fine, the one next to the bank.
LUKE: Too many windows.
JESS: What?
LUKE: Six windows all on one side, three o’clock in the afternoon – we’re sitting in an oven.
JESS: So we get curtains.
LUKE: Well, you’ll have to help me put them up.
JESS: Great, then we can hold hands and skip afterwards.
LUKE: Stop saying that.
JESS: You know what, I don’t care. Pick whichever one you want.
LUKE: I’m not picking by myself.
JESS: You’re the one who wants to move.
LUKE: Oh, so you like living the way we do?
JESS: Fine by me.
LUKE: No space, no privacy.
JESS: I got plenty of privacy.
LUKE: Yeah, because I’m sitting downstairs in the dark watching a two-inch TV.

song of the moment.

"i just want you close, where you can stay forever. you can be sure that it will only get better. you and me together through the days and nights. i don’t worry cause everything's gonna be alright. people keep talking. they can say what they like. but all i know is everything’s gonna be alright. no one, no one, no one can get in the way of what i’m feeling. no one, no one, no one can get in the way of what i feel for you..."

i'm addicted to this. (alicia keys is amazing.)

office fanatic.

i want this shirt! or this one. or this one. hehe. okay, i'll stop.

fun run.

season 4 of the office finally premiered yesterday, which is something i have been anticipating for a while now. and i can definitely say it lived up to my expectations. one whole hour of happiness. meredith getting hit by the car at the beginning of the episode was totally unexpected, yet hilarious at the very same time (which is a reaction michael tends to get from me very often). considering i'm not a cat person, the whole sprinkles situation wasn't all that great to me, but still. dwight is so....i don't even know. haha. i still can't believe what he did to angela's cat. AND PAM AND JIM! ohmygoodness. i love that they're FINALLY dating. eeeeee!! they're that perfect couple that everyone is ridiculously envious of. not even kidding. cute cute cute :) welcome back, dunder mifflin employees. how i missed you!

rain!

so yesterday was a super good day. it didn't start out so great cause i woke up late, but whatev. schol started with spencer and that was cool cause i like her. then a pointless nutrition period where i "studied" for the dbq. then...the dbq. and oh my goodness, after that reading the prompt i was ridiculously happy (but i was even happier when i finished). good stuff. french was boring as usual. but i was glad cause my brain (and my hand) needed rest. and cluster was amazing as usual. i'm so in love with having cluster every day. you have no idea. i love mrs. hale. and the big fat comfy rolling chair i get to call mine makes it that much better.

afterschool was fantastic cause i went to starbucks and shane finally bought me my starbucks. which i earned FAIR AND SQUARE, btw. (it was your idea anyway!). got home and did some homework, then went to go pick up kimly for bpm-ing. that was goood. my kimly-time was severely lacking and i was getting very sick of rainchecks, so i was happy.

and then while i was talking to jeff on the phone at around 11......it finally started raining! that put a good end to my day. although i don't understand why car alarms always go off after there's thunder. it baffles me.

live laugh love.

i love life. i love to laugh. i live to love. today was so ridiculously amazing. it's just one of those days where i'm kinda like, my life rocks. i've come to the point where i have no complaints. where school isn't taking over my life. where i sleep earlier because i'm ahead. where the friends i love are there for me. and where everything is just...perfect.

this morning i woke up feeling really really happy. you have no idea. the school day didn't feel so long (after wittman, of course). i realized i love talking to teachers lately. mrs. hale is such an amazing cluster mom (and cupcake maker). mr. ramirez is super easy to talk to about anything (and when i say anything, i mean anything). and mr. ontiveros is indescribable. you don't even understand. and longboarding today with tara and alex all over cypress was so amazing. it was so fun/relaxing. even getting semi-lost in sorrento was fun. i love love love it. you have no idea. i can't wait to get mine. we'll conquer the world together, plus kathleen. and then kimly played really well today! (aw, i'm so proud of you, babe!) i love it when my friends are happy. ahhhhhh :)

accounting.

"if we BOUGHT the taxi, then we already used the $10k!
and when we sell it back for $100k, we have $140k!
...or $130k?"

"okay, so it's gonna cost about $600 for the paint job per car..."
"whoa, whoa, whoa... didn't we say we're spray painting the taxis?"
"but, that'll look tacky... "
"they're going to be LIME-GREEN COW-SPOTTED! isn't that already tacky?!?"
"uhm... christine, that was kinda supposed to be a secret."
"oh, crap."

"don't you just love making executive decisions?!?"

"or we could paint the cow-spots purple..."
"wait, painting cows purple? isn't that... animal abuse?"
"we're not painting actual COWS!"
"OHHHHHHH!"


hahahaha, i love this class sooo much. you have no idea. christine, tara, and i make the greatest executive decisions ever. we already know what's going down for VE next year. i can't wait :)

saving up.

= $184.00. i've got a long way to go. and to get the one i really want (this), i've got an even longer way. oh elementary, how i miss thee and the countless numbers of hours i spent on a skateboard.

unsorted thoughts.

random, much? i think yes.

music&lyrics.

"i've been looking for someone to shed some light.
not somebody just to get me through the night.
i could use some direction
and i'm open to your suggestions.
all i want to do is find a way back into love.
i can't make it through without a way back into love.
and if i open my heart again
i guess i'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end..."

(yeah, i finally watched the whole thing last night. )

and hugh grant is one of my favorite actors ever ever ever. the first movie i remember seeing him in is two weeks notice. still in love with that movie. i've watched it with my mom a million times. and it's never occurred to us to buy it. i guess it's more fun that way (don't ask me how). then of course notting hill and sense and sensibility. and then about a boy...which was kinda weird. well, cute in a weird way. hahaha. that boy was just really weird to me. but hugh grant made it less weird. (wow, i used the word weird a lot.) hoorah!

"day off".

ever since tuesday i've been out every single day doing something. so i guess i shall call today my "day off" of frolicking. but it hasn't been boring at all. why? the office. i had myself a little marathon and am halfway through season two thus far. i love the office! i'm kinda bummed i missed a lot of the episodes last season, but i must catch up because there's only....25 days until the premiere of season four!!

okay, back to my marathon. yay my daddy brought me boba.

lame.

so i put my ice cream cone down for like two seconds cause hau IMed me and i needed to respond, right? and then when i went to pick it up, there was a huge pool of ice cream under my cone (i would've taken a picture if my camera was working, but since it's not...i didn't). i don't know about you, but i don't like sticky cones and overly melted ice cream. this heat is crazy. i love you summer, but take a chill pill.
