The weather was rainy & gorgeous today<3 Went ice skating in La Jolla for Victoria’s (extended) birthday celebration! Drove up there with Victoria, Kim, Robby, Blake & Brian. Met up there with Vico, Ximena, Trey, Zack, Ed, Ruben, Josalle, Jeffrey, Tina, & James. I’m pretty much a wuss when it comes to ice skating. LOL @ holding on to Blake’s hand (& other willing peoples’) for dear life 50% of the time. I only fell once! But that was because Robby & Brian were messing with me, those jerks, haha-! The ice skating music included Wonderwall (first song that was playing), some Miley Cyrus crap, No Doubt’s Just A Girl, Ryan Cabrera, and… I don’t remember what else. Afterwards, we ate at Red Robin (YUMMMMMMMMMMMM). I ordered a bacon cheeseburger… YUMMMMMMMMMMMM. I love Red Robin. Never ending refills on drinks AND fries?! Amazing. Throwing sugar packets and inhaling helium balloons are fun. After that, we all went our separate ways; me, Victoria, Kim, Robby, Blake & Brian went back to Robby’s casa and played with his kickass synth, and watched Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. LOL @ tug of war with Robby’s sock, that’s some pretty intense stuff right there. After THAT, we dropped Kim off and got Taco Bell. Drove to the airplane wing park -AKA Montgomery Waller- and watched people boning in the car parked across from us while nom nom noming on food. T’was a good Saturday indeed. OH YEAH! New game, which is called “chap,” hee hee.
MF PWNS
Medford Falling was amazing last night-! Me and Victoria met up at Val’s casa with Robby, Laura, Jessika, Gina, Kevin, Casey, Moriah (and of course, Val). LOL @ Laura’s holler to that guy as we drove to the back of Soma. Victoria and I met our new “biffle” (LOL) Amantha while everyone was setting up for the show. We had interesting talks in that one dark hallway next to the kite shop. MF’s set was kick-ass, and I’m glad I got to hear my new favorite song by them performed live 
After their set, Victoria, Amantha & I went to In-N-Out and sat around talking for about an hour. We drove back to Soma and sat talking in Amantha’s car some more, then eventually met up with everyone else after the show was over.
A bunch of us met up at Casey’s casa for “ghost” stories and hookah fun, wished Victoria a happy 18th birthday at midnight, and around 1:30ish Amantha drove me & Victoria home. I’m hella excited for next week’s MF show in Anaheim!

The last few months of the year are always my favorite. I get to spend plenty of extra time with friends and family, and oh goodness… the holiday food– need I say more?! LOL. Past “events” should have left me ultimately depressed, crushed and heartbroken, but all of this is actually perfect timing. All this good is doing the job and outweighing the bad, by far. I’m surrounded by my friends and… everything seems to be going smoothly for me right now. The few flakes of negativity that remain floating in my mind are surely on their way out at any moment, I’m hoping for it.
The two day Disneyland trip is the icing on the cake, really :3
I’m excited out of my miiiiiiiiind!
UPSIDE DAY
This morning I sort of felt like shit, partially because of the phone talk I had last night, and because I was jut flat-out sleep deprived… because that’s how it’s been lately. Sorry if I was such a downer. Everyone has their off days, right? I brightened up for some weird reason towards the end of second period, and felt better – more or less. [There really is no damn point in being upset over something I can't change, as much as I'd like it to. Like the song goes: While truckin' down the road of life, although all hope seems gone, I just move on. When I can't find a single star to hang my wish upon, I just move on, I move on. I got all the closure and clarity in the world, and that's all that matters, really. I think my (very) newly found glee has left me feeling more ready to be forgiving and civil about it all. Call it a random epiphany, if you will. And... new inspiration, can't forget that.]
Anyways, I was seriously trailing off topic… but like I was saying, today really seemed to lift my spirits, for a number of reasons. I actually got into the musical at school. (Oh yeah, I actually did try out, by the way. I sang That Thing You Do! for my audition song.) I can’t believe I’m at least a little good enought to get in. I must say, I’m proud of myself. High School Musical, here we go! Had lots and lots of LOLs with Victoria and Kim after school. “Will you eat my insides, Catherine?” LOL @ burned potstickers. Mad Libs is about a million times more amusing when you’ve got perverted word choices, in MY opinion. *WINK WINK*
About an hour ago, my mom tells me my sister, Ana’s genius plan of having me & a friend (I pick Kim right off the bat, because it’s just a given) meet up with her and my brother-in-law, Don, and niece, Colleen, and nephew, Sean at Disneyland for TWO DAYS while she and him attend to work-related matters. HELL YEAH. Now, I’m listening to Disney music, getting myself really pumped up. Nothing else gives me such a wonderful feeling the way Disneyland does… that’s just how it is with me. Disneyland is my sweet escape, and it really could not have come at a better time.
The last two-ish months of the year are always my favorite, and this year is no exception. I’ve always got so much to look forward to around this time of the year, and I love that. Twilight at midnight with Victoria and a whole bunch of other people on Thursday, Thanksgiving weekend is next weekend, and the weekend after THAT will be Disneyland, and the weekend after Disneyland will be the first week of winter break! You should all know by now know all the things in store for winter break: 18th birthday (which has a bunch of cool sub-plans/events on its own), I’m going back to the Disney Store (or so I’m told) after I turn 18, and then there’s Christmas… AND New Year’s! Whooooooooo. This is a wonderful time for things to be looking up for me. I’m glad. Lord knows I needed it, and for that I’m very thankful
P.S. Better than Jacob Black.
