So tomorrow is the last day of me being a teenager. Blargh. This month has gone by SO fast, I am not ready for my birthday. It doesn't even FEEL like my birthday. I don't wanna be 20. :C

Turns out we are allowed to get dressed up for work tomorrow, yey! I kinda threw together a Tooth Fairy costume. Made little teeth out of Sculpty and formed a little halo like thing. It's actually pretty cute, I'll be sure to put up pictures tomorrow.

I'm fairly certain I'm not doing NaNoWriMo. Because I have way too much knitting to do, along with my Film School application, and I kinda sorta want to finish ONE flash animation. I have one 1/3 finished now. Unfortunely, I lost my old one when I had to reboot my computer. So that was a good 10 days wasted animating. fffffffff.

This sucks, I'm not ready for my birthday! It doesn't even feel like Halloween tomorrow! :[

God, I need money so bad. With school starting in January, I have hardly anything in my savings account. And I couldn't get another job, I have so much shit to do already. And that would mean I would only work there for 2 months before I have to leave for school. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

And then there's NaNoWriMo. And all the scarves I have to knit by Christmas. God, I don't know what to do.

I think I might not be able to do NaNoWriMo. Fuckkkkkkkkk.

Goddamn the invention of currency. Damn it to hell.

So this week is going to be SOOOOOOO BUSYYYYYYY. I took on so many extra shifts at work this week. It's going to be really stressful but I need the money badly. REALLY badly. God, I need money. :C

Also babysitting at the Erickson's house a few days this week. So I'm hoping I'll get a few extra bucks doing that. Ashlyn and Burke are soooo cute, I can't stop telling everyone about them! XD

Friday night is the Kick-Off party for NaNoWriMo! So excited, I can't wait! And I'm so ridiculously happy I have a plot and characters and a setting and all that other good novel stuff. <3

Paul Lauren and Tim come home this weekend too, yeyyyy! And Imax to see Wild Things with Lauren on Saturday, yeyyyyy! <3

Jesus Christ I need to knit ore of those 10 Christmas gifts I am making. And I need to finish my flash animation before the end of the month for the Newgrounds Halloween contest, damn.

UGH SO BUSY GOING TO BED NOW BYE.

SO APPARENTLY there are some people on here readin' mah entries and NOT leaving comments and NOT friending me! So in other words - SPIES. But not really. So hey guys! Sup? And by 'guys' I mean 'Princeton friends'. :] And because you guys aren't on my friends list, there are some entries that are friend locked. But I did go back and unlock some for ya, just because I really don't know why I friend locked them in the first place? Probably because I know my mom sometimes Google's my name and reads whatever pops up, including this. HI MOM! WHAT'S FOR DINNER?

So other than that...

Kate got her birthday present in the mail today, yay! :D I had found a Doctor Who comic book at Level Up a few weeks ago, and it was just so perfect, I couldn't pass it up. I wonder if the other guys got their letters and/or packages in the mail yet though? Oh well. I'm sure they'll tell me once they do.

I'm asking for money to buy an Xbox 360 instead of getting a tattoo for my birthday this year. A tattoo can wait, but Left 4 Dead CAN NOT. It calls to me. I can hear it in the night, "Buy meeee, zombies need to be killedddd..." Unfortunately it will cost me about $400. Ouch.

Work tonight 8 to 12. Now they're just trying to get me to fall asleep at the wheel. BUT OH THE BEST PART? WHY we are staying til midnight tonight? Setting up the Christmas candle displays. Yes, I am aware that it is October 6th. But are they?

So I'm really just starting to realize how much better I am now than I was last year. I'm vegetarian now, I'm writing more and more, I'm playing music because I WANT to, not because I am FORCED to, and most importantly I'm not as scared to do things anymore. One life, one chance.

Despite all this though, I really need to apply for Full Sail. I keep putting it off. Which is VERY bad. I think procrastination runs in my family. lol.

Can't wait to get my tattoo for my birthday this year. I have a few good ideas for one, but I really have to choose one and stick with it. I love them all so much though! :C

Princeton was BEAUTIFUL. I want to go back again very soon. There is a girl there, Anna, who played piano beautifully, and next time I come I promised her I would bring my guitar so we can play together.

Now to learn more songs on guitar!

Driving about 2 hours up Jersey to go visit Maya and meet Oscar at Princeton University tomorrow! I'm extra psyched, I've always wanted to see Princeton. It's certainly going to be an adventure, and I get to see how well my car handles long car rides. Although I wouldn't really consider 2 hours a long ride, I never have driven that far in my minivan before. funfunfun!

I HAVE A PLOT FOR NANOWRIMO. Sorta. At least I think I do. lulz.

Okay. So if you decide that your life goal is to try everything once, you have to understand that everything is not going to run smoothly. It's not all going to be perfect. It won't always end up the way you expect it to.

And even if it's really really bad, and not what you wanted at ALL, you kinda have to accept it for what it is. Because this is what you swore to do with your life. Live it to the fullest. Good and Bad. And the good can only happen for so long until the bad comes along. It can't all be good, that's not the way the world works.

So I guess the lessons here are : 1) Mistakes aren't always regrets. 2) The very best moments, but mostly the very worst moments are what make a life worth living. 3) It always makes a funny story to tell to your children later. and 4) You won't be able to make it on your own. Your friends are the ones who will always pull you through.

Love you guys. <3

So I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year with Tracy and Kate, and I'm really looking forward to it. It's just extremely frustrating because I haven't been able to come up with a plot yet. I'm currently reading Lockpick Pornography
( http://www.lockpickbook.net/lockpick_2nd_ed.pdf ) written by Joey Comeau, who writes A Softer World. If I could write a novel anything close to what he has written, I would be the simply ecstatic.

I miss the guys. Everyone is off at school and doing their own thing, so I'm by myself again. Summer was nice while it lasted. But it couldn't have lasted forever. Right now I'm just killing time before I go away to Full Sail in January (hopefully).

My job is so fucking unbelievable. I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:

First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breath.

The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store, she moans like a cat in heat.

But the jewel of the crowd has got to be the fucking stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I'm sure after work. He probably hasn't been sober anytime in the last ten years, and he's only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big fucking dog to work. Every fucking day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonalds and Burger King, every single fucking day.

Anyway, I drive these fucktards around in my van and we solve mysteries and shit.

pippin200012 (1:28:30 PM): at one point she's like thinking about if vampires can have sex, and then this one vampire that she doesn't like/know who is at bill's hosue this one time like just puts her hand on his crotch and she's like "oh well that answers that question" - the vampire had a huge erection.
pippin200012 (1:28:34 PM): and i'm like wow
pippin200012 (1:28:38 PM): greaaaat writing.
pippin200012 (1:28:38 PM): lol
pippin200012 (1:28:44 PM): omg salad here

Oh god, nostalgia! <3

Getting packed for the flight tomorrow. Apparently you have to be at the airport 3 hours before your flight leaves, which means I need to be up, clean, and packed EXTRA early for me to get to the airport by 9 o'clock. I seriously have no idea how I was able to wake up to catch the bus at 6:30 for school all those years...

I really wanted to finish those 3 pages of Temper, Temper before I left too. But with them scheduling work everyday up until the day I left, it made it nearly impossible. :/ Sigh. I SWEAR I will draw more of it as soon as I get back home though. I swear.

I am one lucky bastard. I go on vacation in Florida for 5 days, visit the school I've always dreamed of seeing, then spend a whole day in my all time favorite amusement park ever, Magic Kingdom. I have an obsession about Disney World parks. It's unhealthy, oh yes. And THEN, 3 days go by, and it's Tim's Pirate Party. Omgholycrap, best 2 weeks EVER. <3

So yes, 5 days with just mi madre in Florida. I highly doubt we are going to get in any huge arguments or anything, obviously some slight disagreements, but heck, she's my mom. And mothers and daughter are made to get on each others nerves. :b

Sigh. I will miss dad though. I already miss dad. :/

And with that, I shall say adieu, and I will leave you with these...

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

And also this website right here. It's fascinating, really. Scroll down to where it lists the characters and read about Tigger. What a horny, violent chap that Tigger is.

So my house is filled with Puerto Rican Rum, Red Dog Beer, Dr. Pepper, ice cream, and Texas Bubba burgers, and I HAVE WORK TODAY 2 TO 6, wtf. :C Sigh. I suppose I could get home from work, enjoy some of the pleasantries in my kitchen and then head on out to the theater at 9.

AND THE THEATRE, aw man, I'm going to my second midnight movie premiere tonight, for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! :] lol, I wish I had a costume, but I am poor, and there is not enough time for me to throw one together. I'll just end up wearing some red and yellow and my Gryffindor track jacket I think.

Also, long story short, Josh and I got into a very lengthy disagreement via text messaging yesterday and he accused me of having a crush on him. There were a lot of boring details and shit, but without all that - he fucking offended me by saying that. He's one of my closest friend, I have a blast when he's around, and I try to be nice and invite him to most of the stuff we plan as a group. So it hurt my feelings a lot when he thinks I just want to get with him.

SO IN SUMMARY - fml. Except for the HP movie premiere thing.

So I really need to start going to bed earlier. It's killing me staying up this late, doing nothing in particular of major importance.

Tomorrow (should) be my only day off this week until I leave for Florida on the 17th. I need to do laundry and draw some more of the comic.

Costume for the pirate party is pretty much finished, I just need to bring my skirt up another inch or so, then I'm done. My mom came up with an AWESOME idea for the cake I'm making for the party too, it's gonna be sweeeeeeet! :]

"Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you;
you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for."
- Bob Marley

God, this quote means so much to me. I adore it. One of the few I've ever read that truly speaks to me.

I really need to start watching more documentaries. I haven't watched one so far that I didn't like. (well, that's not really true, I hate Michael Moore's films beyond words.)

- Jesus Camp
- Cane Toads
- Roger & Me (didn't like very much)
- The Bridge
- My Kid Could Paint That
- Super High Me


Next is 'Super Size Me', then 'The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters'

I do love writing in my LJ. It's a great way to wind down and collect my thoughts. I need to stat doing it more often, I seem to forget sometimes, but mostly I just feel there's nothing important to write about.

I am very red. VERY red. I need to start wearing more sunblock more often. Most reapply! I have the WORST tan lines from my bracelets, ring, and bathing suit strap. That needs to get fixed too. I know I said I wanted to get really brown this summer, but now I'm not so sure. I'm pretty dark right now except for my legs. I think I'll work on them some more, and I'll be done for this year. I worry about skin cancer and wrinkles and all that other shit. :b



So boogie boarding is pretty awesome. And so is the beach, in general. I'm so glad I can drive this summer, I'm going to OC every chance I get.

Need to start working on the comic too! :O My plan is to finish at 3 pages before I leave for Florida on the 17th.

So I'm looking at tattoos. Yes, I know, I am crazy. And there's no way I'm going to get it anytime soon, cause I know my parents would FLIP. But when I do get one, it won't be big, even medium sized. Just a tiny little thing, on the left hip bone. So you wouldn't even see it unless I hiked down my pants a little ways and showed it to you. The size of it would only be slightly larger than a quarter, so you can imagine how teensy it would be. I'm thinking of a heart tattoo, or maybe a pumpkin, cause that's what my mom calls me (my birthday is November 1st). Haven't seen any I particularly like, but I'll know it when I see it. It will just click.

So I really need to start watching what I'm doing with my money. I've also only got a savings account, which is even more of a reason to save. But recently I've just needed to buy stuff. I need to order new contacts next week too, which doesn't help. I'll have to figure this out...

But saving money will have to wait a little while, because my fish died this morning. :C Yes, my white beta fish, that Sphen and I had bought together about this time last year. She lived for a year. Which is pretty damn good for a fish!



So this is my new Male Betta fish. I named him Moloch, after the goat god in Reefer Madness the Musical, who was named after this piece of work right here - http://www.laputanlogic.com/images/2006/10/18-11SCFXTT200.jpg God, I really, really love Reefer Madness the Move Musical. <3

Also, I've been addicted to this song as of late. give it a listen!

So I should probably update this thing, haha. I'm going to add pictures to make it more interesting. :]




Nieves and I are making a comic! :] Nieves came up with the story and I'm doing the art work. I had been saying how I wanted to make some sort of comic for a while. This is a really crappy first picture, maybe if I finish a good one I will scan it on my computer. Maybe.




First trip to Ocean City today! It was so nice and clean and awesome, I don't think I'll ever go to AC again. Ever. <3 I plan on going to the beach a lot this summer with the guys.




Mom and I are going to visit the film school I want to go to, Full Sail University, in Orlando July 17th. It will be very interesting, considering it will just be my mom and me, and no one else. We may have our differences, but we are pretty much the same person. It will be great to get some bonding time with her. :] <3

Watching this video gives me hope. I don't know why, or what for... maybe even just hope for mankind. <3

Most likely going to the beach tomorrow with some of the guys. :] We all want to go swimming at the beach SO BADLY, I hope it doesn't rain! :X

Omg. Oakcrest graduation is Tuesday. I am so sad, I feel so old! :C I also feel like I haven't done anything with my life. I've been contemplating taking classes at ACCC instead of just waiting and going straight to a film school. I don't know though. If I did decide to go to ACCC, I would feel like sort of a sell out. Because I've been talking about going to film school for so long, and constantly saying I do not want to go to the community college. I think I need to talk to my mom about it.
