BLAME IT ON THE A A A A A A ALCOHOL

^ LOL, I <3 Louie!

^ I called it quits after 2 shots: Blue Raspberry Vodka & Jäger -minus the bomb. I think if I downed a few Jägerbombs, I’d have been sloshed for the rest of the night, but it’s safe to say that I’m glad I stayed sober.

I spent the rest of the night helping Matt clean up & taking care of all the drunk hoes! I was even a “designated driver” to take a particular fuckwad home.

^ Sober @ 1:20 in the AM :]

& LOL @ watching Camp Rock with Robin the next morning. He was totally on the edge of his seat the entire time! *Note to self: edit/upload a picture of Robin watching Camp Rock…*

SKATING ROBIN

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.

HALLOWEENIE ‘08

This year’s Halloween was really fun… possibly one of the best. The Scooby Doo group costumes were a complete success, if I do say so myself LOL @ bumping the Scooby Doo theme song (ON REPEAT) with Josalle’s jeep as the Mystery Machine, driving up and down Palm Avenue, then finally pulling up in front of school. I had forgotten just how much I love Halloween; it’s really amusing to see everyone dressed up in the randomest costumes. I saw: a ceiling fan, some big Merlin/wizard head, gay cowboys, Disney princesses, and a slutty nun- to list a few.

I was invited to a few parties, and I totally had just about every intention of getting drunk and/or high that night for the hell of it, but I didn’t… and I’m glad I didn’t, because my night went really well without excessive partying on my part. Met up with Judas Victoria, and we went to Luzita’s for some good ol’ California burritos. The liquor store didn’t have any raspberry Arizona, which broke my heart. We saw Robin & Alex Li walking around the parking lot- Robin was looking for a place to get a haircut. Random, lol. Stopped by Factory2U, which always goes hand-in-hand after a trip to Luzita’s. Passed by Northgate and totally got a little peek of James Franco working at one of the registers by the door. Walked back to Victoria’s and got ready to go out. Mila kept calling me Vico, hahahaha! She’s too cute :3

[My on-going, repetitive conversation with Mila all night long]

C: What’s my name?

M: Vico!

C: What’s your name?

M: Cookie!

C: What’s my name?

M: No.

C: What’s your name?

M: No.

Victoria just HAD to bust out the scary pocket knife so we’d have some protection for the night. A lot of good that did us. She left it in the car. (Besides, we didn’t even need it, I swear.) Went trick-or-treating with Mila around Victoria’s nana’s neighborhood, then dropped by Vico’s to meet up with her, Lorena and Melanie. A little while after resting our tired feet, Victoria’s mom picked us up and we stopped by CVS, drove around Palm Pacifica looking for The Asylum haunted house (with no luck), then Blockbuster. Rented Dead Silence and Diary of the Dead. Got some food from Carl’s Jr. and got dropped off at mi casa. After freshening up/washing off makeup and checking Myspace/Mafia Wars, we watched Dead Silence in my living room… or at least tried to. I don’t know if it was the shitty acting or my lack of interest as the movie progressed, or my insane exhausted state that kept me everything but absorbed in the movie. We eventually crawled into my super comfy snug bed and watched Romero’s Night of the Living Dead until we went to sleep. The next morning we watched The Hills Have Eyes, which still freaks me out, even after all these years. Candy & pretzels for breakfast are the only way to go the day after Halloween, nom nom nom.

And at last, it is November. Only 1 month and 15 days until I’m 18. The last few months have always been my favorite time of the year; all the best holidays are at the end! I’m ready for some nice winter weather and the holidays :3

HOMECOMING & STUFF [2]

Saturday was good, to say the least.

I had the house to myself all morning, which I loved. Geez, I can’t wait until I get my own place. God knows when that’ll be. (I really don’t want to forget about this… so here’s a side note: I was really giggly because I was looking at some new reblogs on Tumblr, and I heard my mom say to my dad “I have bread inside the car… do not esmush it.” LOL @ my mom’s Spanish accent peeking out at the end of that sentence. I really can’t explain why, but that just made me really giggly for the rest of the morning.)

I got ready for Mila’s 2nd birthday/costume party & had phone talk with James- the majority of the conversation included discussion about Mafia Wars/Myspace, like always, lol. I also spent a good 15 minutes looking for the damn wrapping (no, not rapping, lol James) paper for Mila’s gift. Turns out it was in the first place I looked.

Here’s another LOL, before I forget… I was about to get picked up by Kim (while still on the phone) and said bye to my mom as I was heading out the door; *puts phone down* ME: “Kim’s gonna give me a ride to the party, I wrote down the address by the computer. I’ll call you later.” MOM: “Okay… cover up!” [referring to  my cleavage... {which wasn't really so cleavage-y at all, I swear}] *shuts door, returns attention to phone* JAMES: “Tell your mom I said thank-you.” ME: “For what? OH! For telling me to cover up cleavage?!” LOL. That was a good phone talk, he made me smile & giggle, like always<3

I only managed to stay at Victoria’s nana’s casa for a few hours. Had some jumps in the bounce house with Vico, Robby, Victoria, Kim, Mila & Brian. (LOL @ Robby’s sickass milkshake superhero costume, BTW. Very kickass.) I’m super excited for Halloween, even though I’m not going to Jack’s Mannequin anymore *tear* But, hay! Trick-or-treating is going to be really fun. I’ve been on a sweet craze lately, so the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

I headed home around 5ish to rush and get ready for homecoming. The directions given in the invitation were shit, but we found the place okay. Xander, Savannah, Erica & Gabriel were the first few (out of the people I actually knew) to arrive, then everyone else started showing up. I felt dizzy as soon as I got on the boat, and I knew that if I were to leave my 3 inch+ heels on, it’d be the death of me. It was a really nice boat- 4 levels: the bathroom on the lowest level, the dance floor on the second, the “galley” on the third, and the top was open space for seats and stuff.

The DJ pretty much sucked ass. There’s really no other way to describe that. Not many of the songs he played were as fun & dancy as I would have liked them to be. I requested ‘Hot In Herre’ (yes, the Nelly song) at the beginning of the dance and I don’t think he even gave playing that a second thought. It would have been a total LOL moment if he had played it… I mean, it would be completely appropriate since the dance floor was a sweat fest to begin with. I was also disappointed because he didn’t play ‘Swing’ or ‘It’s Tricky.’ LAME. LOL @ dancing with James during a mariachi song. That was the only real one-on-one dance I actually had that night, the rest was a bunch of nasty freaking with Tina, Ruben, Josalle, Yvonne, Jeffrey, Robin… and a bunch of other people I’m too lazy to recall. Damn. I really have no rhythm, it’s horrible, LOL. *Note to self: take dancing classes in preperation for my wedding… wouldn’t want to make a fool of myself with my lack of dancing skills.* Another lame thing was the fact the DJ didn’t play any slow songs… except for one at the end of the night when everyone was getting off the boat. Me & Jeff danced for like 15 seconds, hah!

Poor Tina was seasick during the dance. I had a headache all night, but hey… when do I NOT have a headache, right? I’m surprised I didn’t get all woozy like I usually do on boats, that was nice. I really enjoyed sitting out on the deck with the breeze of the cold ocean air. It wasn’t remotely close to Titanic at all, but I couldn’t help but think about that in the back of my mind. At one point when we were in the middle of what seemed to be nowhere, it was pitch black on the water and the fog was really rolling in… it was creepy since you couldn’t see anything. I began thinking about The Mist and went back inside, lol. We got back around 11ish, and it was foggy all over town, which I enjoyed immensely. James was mine & Jeffrey’s ride home. We were waiting around the harbor for about an hour-ish until James’ sister picked us up. I was hella tired and hella scrubby. The puppy dog curls were gone and my hair was almost completely straight. The bottom of my feet were black and dirtied from walking around barefoot all night long. As much as I suck at dancing, homecoming was really fun, and I’m glad I went

HOMECOMING & STUFF [1]

Tuesday, October 21- Victoria let me starve to death while I waited for her so we could go get California burritos together at Luzita’s. That damn Judas ate without me, AGAIN. We still went to eat… it was just me, though. I had no idea the liquor store next to Luzita’s sold raspberry Arizona iced teas! Ahhh, what a great new discovery.  Pwned my burrito with hot sauce bite after bite, nom nom nom. James Franco walked in and I bought a soda as an excuse for us to stay a little longer and “observe” him with his (I’m guessing) boyfriend. TOO CUTE! After Luzita’s, we looked around Factory2U, which sadly no longer had those slutty heels I’ve had my eyes on, LOL. Looked around the 99 cent store and the other store next to it, and bought some white & purple eyeshadow.

Back at mi casa, I made Victoria create a Mafia Wars account, and she has more or less become addicted to it, hell yes!

Wednesday, October 22- Went shopping for homecoming & Halloween with Josalle. Our first stop was at Kohl’s, in hopes of finding some decent bras. FAIL. But I did manage to get a couple pairs of “sexy panties.” Hit up Plaza Bonita, and ate some Subway, because we were both hungry as hell! Girl talk in the food court; I was frustrated because Subway didn’t have raspberry iced tea; there were two twins a few feet away from each other; K. Campos, A. Quigley & other MOH kids were chillen a few seats away from us, LOL.

I bought blue suspenders at Hot Topic for nerd day, got some pretty earrings at Forever 21, bought purple flats for my Daphne costume (after years & years of searching). WTF @ some hoe who thought I worked at Charlotte Russe, pffft. At least it’s nice to know I look like I’m employed. *ZOMG NO WAY MOMENT* and then stopped by Target; I bought black & red nail polish, black stockings, & red lipstick.

Final stop was Wal Mart in Chula. Totally failed looking for a red push-up bra, but I did buy long gym socks for $1.50. I spent about $70 shopping. YIKES. Talk about broke as a joke. I sure could use a job right about now… more than ever.

Friday, October 23- Nerd day for seniors! Those bright blue suspenders gave me cuh-razy wedgies! I guess that went hand-in-hand for nerd day, though. TGIF, forreal. The week went by so slow, it was freaking ridiculous.

Newspapers finally arrived & were distributed. I’m really proud of this first ‘08-’09 issue. A few hours after school I met up with Tina & Tommy at West Coast Doughnuts to chill before the homecoming game. I love the fact that I can avoid paying $6 to attend a school function simply because I have my newspaper badge to use to my advantage It was getting colder and colder as the night continued, which was a love/hate kind-of-thing; I wish I had worn something warmer than a wifebeater under my hoodie.

Me & Tina sat in the stands LOLing at stupid stuff, half watching the game. The music selection was really crunk & nasty, which got me even MORE excited for the dance. I admit that “tricked out” keyboard remixes and upbeat, exaggerated vocals are a guilty pleasure of mine.

Imelda Gonzalez & Issac Quezada won the homecoming elections! I’m so glad Imelda won; she’s certainly the most deserving (I heard the other nominees didn’t even come close to the massive number of votes Imelda received, which is awesome, because I totally voted for her).  Not to mention the fact that we actually won the game, (52-21) holla! Tomorrow night is going to be really fun

QUARANTINE, PLP & CARAMEL APPLES

Friday, October 10– “Date night” with Victoria! My mom didn’t believe me when I said I saw someone giving away a free big screen TV, hah! Walked around in hopes of picking up job applications for decent stores… all we got was Claire’s and Pac Sun. FAIL. I still really want to work at Game Stop… NO MATTER WHAT! Robby & Blake decided to join us to watch Quarantine, which totally scared the shit out of me. I’ve never jumped or screamed so much at the movies (that I can remember). I really liked it and I can’t wait until it’s playing at the Navy Base for free, hahah. Those new bastard kitten heels left my feet screaming by the end of the night, so I had no choice but to walk around Plaza Bonita mall barefoot. YUCK.

Saturday, October 11– Spent most of the day doing nothing. I got ready for The Parking Lot Proposal’s show and realized that I was practically starving, so I called Victoria up to see if she wanted to walk to Taco Bell and get some food before we left. YEARS LATER we met up at the intersection and walked down Coronado together… less than 5 minutes later we realized that it was pretty chilly and we were both idiots who forgot our cardigans at home. I got my “usual” at Taco Bell (two cheesy double beef burritos and a Sierra Mist… the raspberry iced tea tasted disgusting). We wasted so much time there while we waited for Josalle to pick us up. I wasted a good $3 (possibly more) on temporary tattoos. We kept going back and forth to the register asking for quarters in exchange for our dimes and nickels, like the losers we are. By the time we left, we were covered in bloody/gore tattoos, and other manly-type stuff. We got semi-lost on the way to Fashion Valley mall with Ruben, Jeffrey & Josalle, but we made it! PLP was amazing, like always, and I finally met their new singer, Jessika. Blake made me “anti-depressant” cookies, which is the sweetest thing anyone has done for me in a long time :3

After the show, me, Ruben, Jeffrey, Josalle, and Victoria walked around Mission Valley mall, which was kind of lame, because I could have sworn that mall had two floors… but apparently the first level is just parking structure, haha. I wasted $8 at The Sweet Factory: a jawbreaker and a dozen (or so) of blue gummy sharks.

Sunday, October 12– Went to church, as usual. Kim got dropped off and we went to the Eastlake mall with my mom, because she wanted to steal recipes from some cook books for work. We spent a couple hours in the kid’s section of Barnes and Noble, having crazy throwbacks to elementary school with all the book browsing. I wish books weren’t so damn expensive :C

We walked around the rest of the mall, LOL @ a bunch of baby teens asking us if there was an Abercrombie store. HAH. FUNNY. We attempted to take pictures in the Apple store, but had no idea how to work a Mac, so we stepped inside that one Rocky Mountain chocolate shop, or whatever it’s called, and feasted our eyes on mouth-watering, delicious caramel apples… we gave in and decided to split one. It was HEAVEN. After, we looked around in Anthropologies, this cute boutique with over-priced deliciously scented candles, clothing & miscellaneous home furnishings.

SNAKES ON A TERRACE!?

I don’t really remember yesterday morning all too well, other than the fact that it becan with a wake-up call, like usual, and that is always nice. I think I went back to sleep and woke up around noon, only to find that the house was mine because my parents went to the store.

Played video games until my parents got back, picked up my $50ish paycheck at work, then drove to Party City in hopes of getting a job application… they hire at 18, dammit. I’m borderline legal, c’mon now! I can totally handle the chaos of Halloween season at Party City. IF ONLY I WAS LEGAL. Hmm, maybe next year I’ll apply at Party City to get extra money around that time.

When I got home, I played video games until Josalle got to mi casa, with pizza! We watched Snakes on a Plane, LOLing at all the ridiculous acting and decision-making that went on in the movie. We still had a couple hours to kill before Lakeview Terrace started, so we brainstormed up a bunch of movies and actors to have for “successful black men movie nights.” You wouldn’t BELIEVE the long list we had, not to mention sub-lists of “successful Asian men movie nights” (Jackie Chan & Jet Li) and other miscellaneous actors, like John Travolta, Nicolas Cage, and John Cusack. We ALSO made up a list of music from “successful Latino men,” like Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin; and music from  “successful black men,” like R. Kelly and Will Smith.

We finally left around 7, because Josalle’s dad wanted to meet up by Bank Of America to give her a coupon to something. He left me in complete smiles after meeting him! “Don’t get played. There are bad guys at the movies.” LOL. We both freaked the hell out when we saw that Eagle Eye was playing at the drive-in, and we almost watched that… it was really almost too close to call, but we stuck with the original plan of seeing Lakeview Terrace. Just as it was about to start, Josalle realized that we were parked at the wrong screen when Bangkok Dangerous started playing. She busted a Fast and the Furious and got us parked at the right screen, with the popcorn knocking over on the way there, lol. We were perfectly situated where I could see Bangkok Dangerous perfectly from the sideview mirror, and Eagle Eye perfectly from my left eye periphs.

The movie started out kind of slow, but things really began to pick up after about 45 minutes in, and OMG, Samuel L. Jackson is teh shit! There was a really good twist at the end, which seriously had my heart racing, lol! Lakeview Terrace was most definitely a good way to pop my drive-in movie virginity. Next week we plan on seeing Eagle Eye, a way to end fall break ‘91 on a really good note
