Sweet silver bells all seem to say throw cares away.

I'm SO excited for Christmas. We put up all our lights and they look so lovely. They would look even more lovely glowing through freshly fallen snow. Our advent calendar has Playmobil toys in it (ha, Lael ...). We haven't gotten our tree yet, maybe next week. We're breaking tradition this year and decorating before the twenty-fourth! Gasp. I can't wait.

Congrats to Kyndra and Alex.

Blocks of art, math and English tomorrow. Hurrah.

Can't buy me love

Go pop by Annah, she's got a new layout.

Watched A Hard Day's Night last night. I've renewed my love for the Fab Four. I was listening to the White Album and looking through the Anthology and I watched part of Paul's concert on teevee. I dunno, something about them ... they're just great.

I went to Guardino Gallery last night where some of my aunt Meg's art is showing. One of her pieces sold ... there's one I wanted to buy of hers, but I had no money. Lots of awesome art there. If I ever become rich, I'd just go to galleries and buy one new art piece a week. There was one piece that was an altar/shrine to Mother Theresa, and that inspired me to make one for the Beatles (surprise, surprise). It'll be all colorful with sequins and glitter and beads and feathers and whatever else I can find, maybe even mini lights. Qué magnifico ...

Mmmm turkey sammich. I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was warm and special.

Prodding fingers can hurt sometimes.

I never asked about the residential because I never knew you wanted me to. I wasn't sure if you were ready to have everyone know about everything yet, like I assumed so three years ago. I will ask you if that's what you want, because I do care, dear, I do.

I guess sometimes we have to introduce ourselves all over again. So ... hi, my name is Adriana, and I would love to be your friend.

And dear Ashley, I'm never good at knowing what to say, but I can give you hugs and love. I'm sorry about Recneps, I loved him too.

Weekend plans

Well, I'm off to meet Annah at 1:00 to go Hawthorne. I'm looking forward to getting some Chocolate Ripple Nipple lipgloss at Metro, as well at a name patch. And some clothes perhaps ... I could use some pants ...

Last night I watched 'Death to Smoochy,' and it was hilarious. Ed Norton is trés cute. Robin Williams is genius. Catharine Keener kicks ass. Oh yes. This movie rocks mon socks.

I really don't want to do homework this weekend. School sucks ass. I just know that I failed that history exam. God Mr. Nam needs to diiieeeeee. Fuck. Oh well, maybe I can do extra credit or something ... dammit. Oh and that Meiner essay test on monday ... and the math I didn't finish, so now I have double.

Mr. Hubbard moved me up to first violin unexpectedly. Now I have to learn two 1st violin parts by next class. Gah.

J'adore Weezer.

I just don't understand.

I don't know what is wrong. Everytime I mention something about the "hands-off" thing between Alex and Ashley, she walks away. I feel bad that I say anything, and I know there's something she's not telling me, I know there is, but until she does tell me, I don't know what I can do to prevent my offenses, whatever they are. I wish she could tell me, because I thought that's what I am supposed to be there for: to listen. I don't understand why they just don't control the impulse to sneak up behind the other or whack the other with a text book, but it obviously goes deeper than that.

Sometimes it feels like everyone is crumbling around me and I'm unable to help them.

Desperadoes

Poopsticks, I need this picture scanned. This is so frustrating. Gah fuck it. I'll find something else.

We get to start painting in art, how exciting! I've never worked intensely with acrylics before so this a fairly new and thrilling experience. The first assignment is fairly restricted, (pre-set up still life, with guidlines), but the second one is a free canvas. I get eager butterflies in my stomach when I think about going to Art Media and buying my very own first ever canvas and starting to spill my visions onto it. It's always hard to make the first stroke. Acrylics, an easel or drafting table, and good quality brushes are on the top of my Christmas list. It's an artist thing, I guess.

*Gasp* Could Alex really build me a computer?? That would be completely splendid!

EXPELLIARMUS!!!

I just saw HP&TCOS. I LOVED IT. It was so morbid and dark and scary. And the actors were a lot better too; Hermione wasn't nearly as annoying as in the first one. And Oliver ... drool. Anyway, go see it, you know you want to. I finally saw "LOTR: FOTR" yesterday, and it was great. I can't wait for Two Towers!!

Nighty.

Unhappies

Kyndra, I'm so sorry that you have this dilemma on your hands. It sucks royally, and I, too, wish your parents were way more open-minded. But maybe you should be open with them? If they're not accepting, then that's their own damn fault, they have no right to discriminate against who you hang out with just because of their orientation or beliefs. That's complete and utter bullshit. But I don't live with them, so I don't know how they would react, and maybe you shouldn't come clean with them. I wish I could help you more. -_-

I'm sick and it sucks. Thank you KYNDRA. Heh ... Hopefully today I'll feel the full brunt of it, and be well enough to go to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets tomorrow. I'm so excited you have no idea.

Why isn't wildinfinity working, Laurel and Kittie?

Watch me unravel, I'll soon be naked.

My sister (Olivia) is such a little bitch, for lack a better word ("self-smittering" Ashley??). She gave her best friend Sierra my AIM screenname. Well that's not too bad, but what she expects me to do is what's perturbing me: if I'm online and Sierra can't get through and just has to tell my sister something, she can IM me and I'll *happily* relay the message to her. Yeah ... right. If she does this I think I will block her because I don't think there's anything that important to tell Olivia that can't wait until school tomorrow.

Oh dear, I hope Annah hasn't made her journal friends only because of me. Gah.

I am going to see Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets this weekend no matter what. I'll take my sisters if I have to, I'm GOING. My friend Matt drew me a very awesome picture of Harry using Photoshop. We have daily battles over which is better, HP or LOTR. I haven't seen LOTR yet (GASP), so my argument mostly consists of defense of HP instead of offense. Anyway, since he knows how much I like HP, he drew me a picture. How very nice of him. :)

Well, one quarter down, three more to go! Ack. I'm pretty sure I have all A's. Go me! Heh. Unfortunately, we have another exam in Chemistry, even though we just took a whole FINAL on it. Damn you, Penkie.

Monday, November 11, 2002 - 05:53 p.m.
Fuck

Jesus christ, I can't even say one fucking thing without people jumping down my throat, twisting my words around, and making me feel guilty. Now I know how Kyndra feels.

Weekend

I'm stupid and jealous, but I thought that Annah and I were going downtown this weekend, I thought we had agreed on it mid-week, that's why I didn't make plans. I have plans now but for some reason I feel upset. Don't listen to me, they're allowed to have fun without me.

This morning I went to another OBT model drawing class with my cousin Lucie. It was a lot of fun, as usual. I'm really good at legs, I discovered, and I love the feel of charcoal going over the paper. I dunno, I guess it's an artist's thing.. It was the same models as last time, and the same gorgeous guy. Lucie said he was cute but geeky. I guess I go for the cute geeky type (Alex Chally, don't you get any ideas). Next class is on February 1st, if anyone wants to go with me.

Tomorrow Lucie and my aunt (her mom) Meg are going to the Doc Martens outlet. I'm very excited because I like boots and I have $ to spend and it's a sale, so it's all a good combination.

Hope everyone's weekend is going just dandy.

Sheep! (Baaaa)

I realized today that there are quite a few very dexy guys at Sheep Central High. They are all miles out of my reach, but they are nice to look at all the same. No, I'm not this shallow usually.

Sra. Flores is insane, like Juan told me she is. She told us the Mexican 'leyenda' about "La Llorona" and she was wailing and it was scary. I think she's off her rocker.

I just realized that my life revolves around school and the people in it. Sometimes I get really sick of seeing the same old faces, having to walk past the same old assholes, having to go to the same old shit classes. It just gets so boring. So routine. We really are cattle. I need change. I wish I went to an alternative school or something, because I really hate 99% of the people at Sheep Central High.

And I'm feeling bitter against corporate America right now. In English we watched "Merchants of Cool" (a documentary from PBS), and our country really is all about advertising. The average American is blasted by over 3,000 ads a DAY. All the product placement in movies bothers me to no end. I come home from school today and open my Cosmogirl magazine (don't ask - they just send them to me even though I didn't resubscribe) and I am just flipping through it and I realize how fucking vapid and pointless our culture is. I want to go live ... somewhere not here. Frustration.

Monday, November 4, 2002 - 04:34 p.m.
I heart Clerks.

PANIC IN CICERO!!!! That's a good song, and the title really is true. It makes your heart rate go up, I swear.

Guess what guess what?! I got an 'A' on my creative English paper! Meiner said it was "outstanding." You know you're oh so happy for me. Jackie got ALL sixes and Meiner said it was the best sophomore paper he's ever read. YAY JACKIE!! Too bad he didn't break a ruler ...

Well, the Partners of America applications are on their way! Have I never mentioned this here before? Well we're gonna host a Tica! (a Costa Rican girl, for all you non-savvies out there) Muahaha. This will be chevere! The unfortunate thing is that she will already have been here for four weeks, so she'll be all Americanized once we see her. Hopefully she won't have seen downtown Portland and other wonderful places yet. Portlanders: when does Saturday Market stop? Is it still going on in January? That's probably too cold. Too bad. Saturday Market rocks. I truly pity those who don't live in Portland because I love this city so damn much ... But anyway, I can't wait until la Tica arrives!!! ^_^

I have to go to homework ... Evil Nam assigned two 3 page papers due THIS WEEK!

Nora's here! Bye bye!

Saturday, November 2, 2002 - 02:02 p.m.

Oh I like the English. They are so wunnerful. I feel bad for them though because they do not have such novelties as Oreos and KoolAid and Lipton and Nestea. Poor dears.

Yesterday I went on Hawthorne to Buffalo Exchange and Red Light with Kyndra after Ashley left. I got a shirt, a belt, and a light jacket. Annah called me this morning to go downtown, and I felt bad to turn her down. I did tell the truth though, I do have a lot of homework, and I hope she had fun at Spartacus. :) Maybe next weekend.

I need a new layout, even though this one is less than a month old. I hope you can figure out that picture soon, Kyndra!

I hope everyone's Halloween was good. Toodles.

Wednesday, October 2, 2002 - 03:36 p.m.
Moop.

God I feel like crap. My throat hurts SO bad. WHY am I sick again? This sucks. FUCK. But thank you dear Ashley for your hugs today. I don't take them for granted.

What am I doing online? I have so much homework to do. I have to read Act I of Macbeth, write one page of my creative writing story. Then I have Chemistry, but at least I understand it. I have Spanish but I left it at skool. Grrr.

Ohhhhh my throat ... somebody shoot me please.

Thursday, September 26, 2002 - 07:52 p.m.
ME. WANT. NOW.

Two of my most favoritest things in one. Holy shit. Oh my god, if someone will lend me the money to buy this or buy it for me and I will pay them back then I will love you SO MUCH and I will be forever in your service kindof. OR I will give them my other Weezer tee. Yes. That is what I will do. OH PLEEEEEEAAAASE!!!

MUST HAVE THIS - (got it! ^_^)

Yes well anyway. Annah wasn't in skool today. I hear she's sick again. Poor dear, get better soooon.

Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 06:43 p.m.
Tralalalala!

Batman battles butt bugs

Oh yes. That's right. I sat in gum today at lunch and my wonderful friends rescued me. Well, Lety really did. She had band-aids in her backpack (not for wounds! Oh no, just for situations like this!) and they put them over the disgusting smeared gum spot. The object of this was to not get gum all over the sweatshirt that Galalayo was going to lend me. But then we figured, hey what the fuck, might as well just set a new trend and I wore the band aids on my butt. God I am so SEXY.

No classes with him today, how sad. Hee hee.

Okay, POLL TIME! (this is mostly for my friends.) Should my new screen name be (waffleiron was taken, goddammit)...
A: WaffleNonna
B: NonnaWaffle
C: NonnaWafflePunk
D: or Waffleiron with some #'s after it
IM or e-mail me with your answer.

Kill the sex player!

Joined a couple fanlistings :)

Why is it that whenever I decide to blog, my parents decide to kick me off? It sucks. Anyway ... school. Today was a good day. I think I have a crush on SCHUNK. Lol. Oh dear. We did role plays in US Hist. and the bankers (me and my group) lost. Kyndra is a social activist whore ^_^. Ashley is ABE LINCOLN. We had to eat outside today because Galalayo had "Fart-in-a-can" shitty string and she sprayed it on the stairs. God I hope it's gone by tomorrow.

Ethan is very very VERY sexy ... la la la la la life is full of fabulososity!

Velcome, velcome, my vittle chillins.

Me and Annah are having a pointless psuedo-fight to prove something to no one in particular. What fun!

Me: GOD SAVANNAH!
Her: we didnt even get to right flames to each other on our journal..
Me: WHY DOES YOUR HAIR HAVE TO BE SO DAMN LONG!!!!
Her: BIGGER WEEZER FANS
Me: AND BROWN!!!!
Her: LMAO
Me: DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her: I AM A BIGGER TALLER WEEZER FAN THAN YOU BITCH
Me: FUCK YOU!!!!!
Me: YOU CAN GO TAKE YOUR HAIR AND YOUR WEEZER FANATACISM AND FLUSH IT DOWN THE TOILET!!!!!!
Me: AND YOUR LITTLE DOG TOO!
Her: WHATEVER
Her: BITCH
Her: I HAVE A CAT
Her: DUDE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW ME
Me: YEAH WELL.... I TOOK A SHOWER SO I SMELL BETTERER!

Ah yes! Good times.

SO ANYWAY, Yeah. This is the new layout. Should I stop deleting blog entries with each layout change? I never even archive, because I don't think people go and read back entries anyway, so I think it's pointless. DUDE, I want a tagboard! Where can I get one?
