high school is coming to end. graduation is this coming week. and i should be crazy excited. and i am, in some ways. in other ways though, i'm really sad. i'm going to miss out on so many things next year. seriously, i feel as if i'm getting close to everyone just as i'm about to leave. and it sucks because i'm going to miss all my friends so much. god, i never thought i would say that. i never thought that there was going to be anyone to miss. i know that i'm going to have a great time in washington and that i'm going to make new friends, but i want to keep these friends too. damn it! |

i thought today was going to majorly stressful, but in fact it wasn't. my senior project part 2 is due tomorrow but i was surprised to find myself done at about five. i think that the board looks pretty good considering i sort of just threw it together.
mom brought home cheesecake from her little American Idol party last night and it looks fan-tastic.
so many projects to be done before the end of school. i think i might actually take an F on my photography project for this week, because it is not going well. the lighting was apparently all off when i shot my film and there isn't enough time for me to reshoot. all m prints are coming out really shitty and it makes me kind of sad.
on a good note though, the exhibition is next week. i found out that christina is also going to be in it, so that made me excited. we can go see our works displayed together now.
crystal got me the coolest birthday gift ever!! she bought me an "Atonement" poster and framed it. it is so amazing.
cheers. hopefully i'll get back on soon. |

three little words that make women all around the world go completely gaga.
yes. those words have finally been said by chuck bass himself.
with everyone's fantasies come true, what could season 3 of gg bring to us devoted fans?
doesn't seem like much more than can be expected from oth.
the shot of the river court would have been a perfect series finale.
everyone's life was in perfect order.
everybody got what they wanted.
why ruin it with another season? |

Happy 18th Birthday to me!! (technically it was yesterday the 2nd but whatever. night's still young)
it started off a shitty day. i ran a few errands. shopped - found the twilight poster that i wanted. and then came home
mom then sent me back to borders to return her book
but i couldn't get the 40% off because it didn't work for previous purchases.
so i just returned the book
and went all the way across town to the block to pick up another copy of the same book.
by the time i got home, i was very annoyed
very, very annoyed
after that, gargi masi came and we all went to dinner
then i went to Caitlin's 17th birthday party
it started off really bad
me, lupita, riley, robyn, and her boyfriend all sat at one table while everyone else huddled elsewhere
but things soon changed
Caitlin's friends are in this band and they played
they were great
i don't know their name but i'm gonna find out because they were amazing
their cover of the fray was even better then the original.
after i got home, i watched pretty in pink
i thought it would be better....
oh well
that's what i get for having high expectations.

so yesterday was FOG. It was amazing. i mean, honestly, i thought Meng Hall was better because i couldn't really hear in Segerstrom Hall but it was awesome nonetheless. when we were done, we all went to eat. the group i was in which included emily, lupita, melody, ryan, and kevin, went to in n out where we met this guy named brandon. we pretty much just followed him around and when we were leaving, we all screamed out the window of the bus, "I Love You, Brandon!" It was funny. He just laughed. But all through dinner, we didn't get a phone call so we figured we didn't make it. It was a really big surprise when we made it back to the center and the lady in charge came to tell us that they lost MEB's number. We actually won first place in our category. It was freaking amazing!!!! |

I figured out what would be the perfect job for me: work for Nylon.
There are two definite benefits from it:
1) I'll live in New York
2) I'll be work ing at Nylon. Nylon. I mean, it's Nylon!!!
yeah, i think i would definitely be satisfied with a job there.

[ Current Music | Death Cab for Cutie] people aren't always what they seem. even people you love and think you know. I just don't get it. i mean, why can't people be honest? is it really that hard? today has a blur of homework homework homework. it seems break is nearly over before it even started. oh boy. and then monday it's back to school. oh, what a joy. ____ so i was talking to my parents about living in new york and they both exclaimed that they wouldn't live there. i was like: wHaT??? they both like london. and i asked what the difference was, why they liked london and not new york. my dad's answer: "London is London." great, wonderful answer. Thank you. neither ever answered my question. |

[ Current Music | Basshunter] so spring break used to be a break from school. but i guess that isn't really true the older you get. i have so much bloody homework that i don't even feel like i'm on break. The only good thing about break is that i can sleep in until 11 and no teacher is going to yell at me for being late. i went thrift shopping last week with my sister and i got some really cute things. i bought a navy cardigan and three pairs of shoes. i really wanted some boots but i didn't find any that fit. oh well. i'll look again next week. |

[ Current Music| Death Cab <333] I read nearly 60 pages of Beloved at school today. It was so boring. I really don't understand the reason Mooney chooses the books that she chooses. I mean she says its because they frequently show up on the AP test but seriously, there are also about 100 other books that show up on it too, why not choose one of those? Why can't we read fun books, like Catch 22? Atonement? The Fountainhead? Those are interesting books and they can be used on the AP test. I really should be reading the next chapter. But i sort of feel a little Beloved buzzed, like i can't really handle any more of it right now. I think I should start carrying a notebook around with me so that i can write what ever pops into my head, when it pops into my head. I've been having a lot of trouble writing lately and i need to really get past that and finish this book so that i can start the new one. You know, i loved writing. I probably get the most joy out of it than anything else. But i don't even think that i have any talent. Honestly, i can't remember the last good piece of writing that i did. Schools kill creativity. |

much has happened since my last writing. i lost one of my best friends because he chose her over me. i basically cried myself to sleep for the entire weekend after it happened. its so wierd. i see him everyday but to not be able to go up to him and just talk or if i'm having a bad day grab him for a hug. it's very strange and i feel extremely awkward around him. lupita and george broke up, for good this time. and i'm totally there for her. but sometimes i don't get it. i mean, even if i were friends with george, which i'm not, i wouldn't call him over when lupita was right next to me because i wanted to talk to him or something. one of her friends did that and she told me later that her heart just stopped when he walked over. i just feel so bad. stupid emily. today we had a theme day and it was hippie day. i felt extremely awkward walking around school in my tye-dye grateful dead shirt and column floor-length sheer skirt. but it was okay. no one really said anything bad to me. my mom is always afraid of what other people are going to say. she never does something if she wants, she thinks about what others will say first. it's quite irritating. currently, i have not started working on any scholarship packets, though i really should because they're due in less than a month and there's quite a bit of work to be done. |

so i've just now finished hors de prix or priceless in english.
it was really good.
audrey tautou was stunning as always.
and gad elmaleh wasn't so bad next to her.
i went to see push today with dad.
not a bad movie, not bad at all.
dakota fanning did a much better job with this one than war of the worlds.
though her performance in the secret life of bees was excellent.
i had never seen a movie with camilla belle but i had heard a lot about her.
i haven't quite made up my mind whether or not i like her.

Do I have nothing good left to say?
Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints
People love to drink their troubles away
sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way
'Cause maybe then I could sleep at night
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light
This is something that I'll never control
My nerves will be the death of me, I know

yesterday i had no school so i went up to my grandparents house with my mom.
someone broke into their house and they're in india until forever.
so we had to clean up and see what was left.
thankfully, we found a bunch of credit cards and all my grandmother's ivory stuff.
but it was such a mess and it took a long time to clean up.
it wasn't even my own home, but it hurt to see all the broken doors and locks and strewn clothes.
i couldn't imagine if it had been my house.
my uncle was telling us that people where he lives (Ohio) are breaking into homes and stores not to steal money, but to steal food.
i thought that was pretty depressing.
on a lighter note, today i went to la to take photos.
my uncle is setting up a website for his business and he needed some photos taken.
i might have to go back bevause we went pretty late in the day and the lighting was all off.
i don't know.
none of the pictures seemed to come out the way that i wanted.
there were a few here and there that he could use for now but i definitely want to retake them.
i did get paid though, so that was good because i was seriously low on cash.
so i got all my songs back on itunes.
when i reloaded them, there were stll 664 songs missing and i was like what the hell?
but they ended up being podcasts so i felt better.
now i've got a huge box of about 100 cds on my floor that i'm trying to upload
hopefully i finish with that this weekend.
it'd be nice to have all the music on my ipod.

i've been watching movies all day trying to find an appropriate quote to fill the open space left on the page. technically it was due on friday, but mimi and i are still working. in fact, we were 50 minutes late to second hour on friday because we were working. currently i am watching wedding crashers and there are not really any good quotes that i could use.
my computer is pretty funked up. it like has a virus and there's this stupid program that i can't uninstall and its pissing me off now because i've been working on it for 6 and a half hours. so freaking lame.

there is only silence. my brain moves in a thousand different ways at once. the constant being in my head. i think i know what it means. i think i know what i'm supposed to do. but then, all at once, it stops. you walk in and everything is clear. all i see is a person with two legs, two arms, and a head. the faceless creature before me. / now i'm sitting in the dark. and my mind begins to play, begins to play my song. all i see is dark but when i shut my eyes, there is life. my life began on a cold december night. in the state of new jersey. thinking of it now brings back the images of a life lost, a love gained, and a mind escaped. / two and twenty years ago, a poet lost his way. he vowed to find a life before he found the light.
okay, it;s not done yet and its not really that good but i'm working on it and i think i could really go somewhere with this. its about the struggles that i've been having with the madrigal singers. it was the only way i knew how to express it.

okay so i've been busy since finals. i did get my scores back. A's all across the board except for one class but i had to work really hard for that B.
anyways, friday, mom and i watched the women. it was a pretty good movie, though the lack of an actual actor to play the character of steven was a bit surprising.
saturday mom and dad let me drive up to LA all by myself. it was a big day for me. but yeah. i went to gumby's house and we had a meeting thing and then we all sort of just goofed off and played rock band.
sunday, gabby and crystal came over. we went to this really neat burger place called the counter. it was in irvine and i accidently went tok the freeway instead of taking the streets, so i had to pay for toll which sucked, but then i got over it. after lunch we went back to my house and watched the keira knightley version of pride and prejudice because gabby had never seen it and that was completely unacceptable.
today was school. it was completely blah. i switched from american government into economics. i fell asleep. it was so boring. well, at least this is the last semester of high school and then i'm out of here.

today was the first day of finals. i am excited to announce that i may actually have pulled off keeping my A in art history. I was thoroughly worried when i wasn't able to finish my notecards, but i feel pretty confident that i did well on it.
the rain is playing with me. i really want it to rain but it just keeps sprinkling off and on. its complete bullshit and it just needs to full on rain. like right now.
i went to the bookstore today and spent nearly a hundred dollars. i surprised myself. but i got good books. i finally got fragile things by neil gaiman. i was excited that they actually had a copy. i got the last one. haha.
