                <description><![CDATA[ So, it's been awhile... over a year. school forever consumes my soul. x_x<br /><br />Second year of prerequisites begins in the fall. Anatomy and Physiology 2, College Algebra and Cultural Anthropology. I'm taking kickboxing over the summer... it's bad ass!<br /><br />I feel as if I'll forever be in an artist's block. Even when I get in the "mood" for it, the pictures go horribly bad. A car with air conditioning would make life a little easier for taking pictures. It'd be awesome if the car had power windows and a radio that worked.... but we won't get into that.... it would be awesome is my El Camino ran... mwahaha.<br /><br />How's everyone?<br /><br />ps. devArt totally made me think I could have pretty journal skins without a premium account. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ sooo.... how is everyone?<br /><br />I'm great. Just finished registering for all my classes (I've told the story one too many times, so I'm not going to again).<br /><br />Summer -- Fundamentals of Chemistry (the only reason I'm taking it is because I have to have it for Anatomy and Physiology 2),<br /><br />Fall -- Anatomy and Physiology 1 ; Interculutural Communications ; and Introduction to Health Sciences.<br /><br />*does happy dance* this is way awesome. I can't wait to start school. I want my nursing degree, damnit!! lol. <br /><br />Got a new point and shoot camera. It's a Sony DSC W200. It takes some pretty damn good pictures; I'll have to upload some of them and post them on here.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ How goes it? I'm in the desert... the whole Idaho thing didn't work out as well as planned.... got married, ditched school for awhile (couldn't afford it) and ..... just started working again for Barnes and Noble. I really am happy to be back, regardless of my being cynical about it.<br /><br />I haven't written much on here... haven't done much art... and truth be told, I'm merely on here at all for Puimun's (<a href="http://puimun.deviantart.com/">[link]</a>)Tarot collection... lol. I have no real inspiration for art lately... in a very long artists' block. <br /><br />I decided to try out the nursing program at College of the Desert (It's about the only thing the college has going for it...). My mom thinks I'll make a good nurse... and seeing as how Eisenhower Medical Center will pay for all tuition as long as you work for them for 2 years... and they pay new graduates at $28 an hour... if I work 3 twelve hour shifts a week, I'll be making $55,000+ a year to START. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Other than that... I've just been bumming around. How is everyone else I've neglected?

My cat is bigger than a small dog, now (clumsy as ever)... Moving to Idaho mid-June... Work sucks lately; I'm waiting for the weather to get warmer so that the snowbirds leave. Other than that, it's just been work, sleep, eat, work on racecars, and just kinda hanging out. It sucks.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I love waking up early.. listening to thoughtful music and enjoying the nice cool breeze on my back, drinking coffee.. It's like a Folgers comercial. I feel.... at peace. Despite the horrible nightmare that woke me up. It was all about death. Usually death = change? Maybe. I just wish the death wasn't my dad's. I miss him. But I woke up knowing that I'll see him when my time on Earth is done. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> For some reason, it was a happy thought. But now it is depressing. I know that the dream probably meant a lot of change. My recent ex was in my dream, suffering over the loss of someone close to him. Perhaps we are both changing, now that we're apart? When I was with him, time stood still. I didn't like that. There was no room for growth. Growth is what we all need, from time to time. Changes help you grow into the person you become. Like a flower in the spring time. I really wish I had a special person to express my feelings right now. It is a lonely road, when you're trying to grow as a person without a special someone there to love you. I want to dance, and sing and cry. Cry with tears of joy streaming down my cheeks, as I laugh and enjoy the moment for what it is. Fond is the memory when one is laughing. But there is no one to laugh with. Perhaps this is what one calls Lonliness with a capital L? I want to go back to dreaming, if this is the case. But alas, I can not sleep forever.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is probably for my local friends, but Rebecca "Becky" Friedli, her mother, and her mother's boyfriend, were murdered this past weekend and their house set on fire.<br />
<br />
They stlil haven't released names of the bodies found, but I'm pretty sure that it's obvious who it is. They have no suspects.<br />
<br />
I've known Becky and her mom since I was 5. Since before kindergarden. She was my best friend throughout elementary school. We were inseperable. Alway around each other. The last time we spent time like that together was on that eighth grade trip to the east coast. We got sick of everyone else, but since we had spent so much time together before, we were alright with each other.<br />
<br />
I am devastated as to what happened. Who could have done this? Why?<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Soo... school is alright. teachers are pretty cool. I'm taking English Composition and a Geology class. I've decided to take an interior design program at those new campuses they have down there on Cook St and Frank Sinatra. It's the UCR extension program. Open to the public, so there are no prerequisites. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
My wedding is to be June 2, 2007! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> And I don't think we'll be living here for more than a year, so that's good in my book too.<br />
<br />
Speaking of books, I got a second job at Barnes and Noble, yippe! Which brings me to the question, should I totally quit Starbucks? Because B&N is willing to give me many many hours a week. The only problem is that I don't know the pay. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just got back the other night..  gods I miss it. The only reason I wanted to come back was for Bobby and the kitties. Poor Nova is ssooo sick... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
Looking into schools of meteorology.. and they are few and far between. it's going to take a couple years of school before i need to transfer anyhow. Speaking of school, I can't wait to start!!! August 28th is the first day.<br />
<br />
So... I've just been workin at Starbucks... drinkin my good ol' coffee... relaxing... fixing up the house, little by little. Painting walls and redoing the floors. The pool table is going bye bye so yay!! more space, less clutter. I hate the layout of this house, but there's nothin I can do about it. *Shrugs* I don't expect to live here for more than a few years.<br />
<br />
I'm also planning my wedding <3 not too much to detail, yet. It  might be in June of 2007, or it could be in January of a later year... I don't know yet. Still gotta find a place to have the wedding at... if it's in June it'll have to be indoors because it's way to warm out in June to do anything outdoors... but if it's in January, I have to wait until 2008, or none of my family from Idaho will be able to come down! lol. ]]></description>

But it just so happens that she kinda drops the idea and doesn't want it anymore. <br />
<br />
So I'm stuck. I don't want to start my own business, because that was something I wanted to share with my sister. <br />
<br />
I don't know what I want to do anymore. I'm going to be starting at the community college (COD), but I don't know what I want to major in. I'm thinking meteorology (to become a weather..woman)... but I can't find a single school in southern California that has a program for it!!! argh. so, yeah. I don't know what to do.<br />
<br />
Any help or ideas would be appreciated, however.<br />
<br />
On a brighter note, Tool's new CD comes out tomorrow.<br /><br /><a href="http://perfect-circle.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/e/perfect-circle.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="perfect-circle" /></a> ]]></description>

Go read $<a href="http://lolly.deviantart.com/">lolly</a> 's journal, or perhaps °<a href="http://dygel.deviantart.com/">dygel</a> 's. Then you'll understand. They put things into words that I can't seem to...<br />
<br />
I got a comment from my sister's friend about how she missed my gallery when she couldn't look through it because I had put it in "storage." So I put it back up. Also, I have to upload some pictures that I have taken.. sorry about not doing that... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /> <br />
<br />
I've been having sooo many issues sleeping lately.. argh. And I have to take pictures at my mom's friend's wedding on Saturday... maybe I'll get to keep one or two for a portfolio. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><a href="http://perfect-circle.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/e/perfect-circle.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="perfect-circle" /></a> ]]></description>

I'm not all sure what to believe anymore. I think it'd be cool for the whole remembrance thing on the 7th.. but ya know, a lot of us -are- making things out to be worse than they really are- I just read $<a href="http://spyed.deviantart.com/">spyed</a> 's journal trying to explain things, talking about the "corporate" thing everyone is so pissed about (I was too for a lil bit..), but what he says about making money so that deviantART can be run, makes a lot of sense. Sure, we miss our co-founders who are no longer apart of the staff, without giving any reason, but there is more to this site than the founders, and that is the deviants, and the art they wish to share..<br />
======================<br />
Apparently °<a href="http://jark.deviantart.com/">jark</a> has been booted off of staff... and no one seems to give an explanation as to why. He's a co-founder of deviantART, yet is somehow no long part of the staff? What is this nonsense? <br />
<br />
anyway, I support °<a href="http://jark.deviantart.com/">jark</a><br />
<br />
Sign the petition against this decision: <a href="http://www.bloodyn.dyndns.org/dev/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
From `<a href="http://onestar.deviantart.com/">onestar</a> 's journal, a suggestion we should all take up:<br />
<br />
<i>On August 7th, DA turns five years old. Five years for a website like this should be a grand affair, one big event.<br />
<br />
So don't submit anything on August 7th.<br />
<br />
I'm talking a print, a deviation, a scrap...nothing.<br />
<br />
Instead, just leave a comment. Visit a user's page and just say hi.<br />
<br />
If someone wants to buy a subscription that day, I'm all in favor or it. It'll keep the servers going, and anything that keeps the hamster running is a good thing.<br />
<br />
BUT...I think folks shouldn't buy any prints. No print subscriptions. That goes against the COMMUNITY theme for the day.<br />
<br />
We want to put the COMMUNITY back into DA.<br />
<br />
If you're in favor of this, if you believe in the power this COMMUNITY has, then join me. Post this in your own journal. Spread the word to everyone, with a <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /> and a <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />. <br />
<br />
We might be touting at windmills like Don Quixote. <br />
<br />
But if enough of us do it, we might be able to remind everyone that this is a COMMUNITY first and foremost.<br />
<br />
Join me. On August 7th, let's take back DeviantArt.</i><br /><br /><a href="http://perfect-circle.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/e/perfect-circle.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="perfect-circle" /></a> ]]></description>

I visited my school today, it was a pre-orientation, where it was just a big questions answered gathering, with free food. ^-^ I'm ssoooo excited about going, you have NO idea. I fit in PERFECTLY at this school. I'm so glad I found it. And, believe it or not, I found it on deviantART... Lol. I was looking at a cute lil piccy of a cat and a camera, and it said something like, So-and-so is now enrolled at Brooks Institute of Photography. <br />
<br />
Anywho, went to L.A. last weekend, which was ssoo fun. First time out in a big city on my own (with a friend, of course). Anyway, went to Troubadour, shopping at The Grove and on Melrose street, had some good times with an old friend. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ <i>"The closer you come to your goals, the easier it is to fall short of them."</i><br /><br /><b>This was my best birthday for the first time in a few years. Well actually, I suppose I should say less emotional. I wasn't leaving my dad, I wasn't spending my last few months with him, etc etc... <br> I had gotten my hair cut off.. all like, 13 inches of it.. bwahaha.. <img src="http://img2.uploadimages.net/435019apics.jpg"><br> <br> Anywho, after I got my hair cut, I went to the California Pizza Kitchen with my mom, then went to the mall. Bought this awesome skirt and some green eyeshadow. (which looks amazing...) Later that night I went to The River with Ruthie and Jenny, went to Baja Fresh, then saw War of the Worlds. (will explain my strong opinion on that movie in a minute..) After going to the movies, we all went to Borders, since they don't close til midnight anyway. We spent an hour reading magazines.. I bought a couple that had good fashion photography in them. I've decided that fashion photography in advertising is what I want to do once out of college. It fascinates me, I don't know why, however. Since I've turned 18, I feel different.. unlike other years when I feel like "okay.. it's another day.." I want to do something crazy.. daring. artistic.. I don't know. I have random inspiration of going into the world on my own. <br> <br> As for that retarded movie.. The people in it were like, running TOWARDS the bombing between the aliens.. and when Tom Cruise had finally gotten to Boston, not only was the neighborhood where his family was untouched, but it lacked all the gory, human remains.. and his son had somehow managed to get back before him unharmed when we saw him nearly die in that explosion?! ARGH. *sigh* Ruthie and I were talking about that throughout the movie... discussing how the sound effects and the visual effects were awesome. (We're the future of the film industry!) <br> <br> Anyway, yeah. That was that... and today I'm working for 4 hours... tomorrow I work from 7:30 to 2:00... *sighs* I can't wait til I don't work for this company anymore... I just... don't like making idiots happy... =/ <br> <br> Next weekend Ruthie and I are spending the weekend in L.A.... w00t. We're going to Troubadour and shopping. It's going to be SO awesome. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> Hope you're all well! ^-^ </br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></img></br></b><br /><br /><a href="http://perfect-circle.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/e/perfect-circle.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="perfect-circle" /></a> ]]></description>

I'm also giving myself a haircut, and dying my hair. ^-^ I'll be sure to post a picture if it turns out decently. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
So.. on Friday I'll be 18. Scary, ain't it? O.o;; <br />
<br />
My 4th of July was decent. Had BBQ ribs and homemade potato salad, etc.. was good. Then went to the park, set up my tripod and camera, and took some pictures. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><a href="http://perfect-circle.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/e/perfect-circle.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="perfect-circle" /></a> ]]></description>

<br />
Anyway, been workin', workin', workin'.. and graduated.. got about $700 total.. opened a checking account... spent it on camera stuffs and a mohair blanket. Found out that mohair is just a fancy name for Angora goat hair.. it's really soft.. too bad it sheds... >.<<br />
<br />
Sorry, haven't been able to upload stuffs... maybe next week! Fo' sho'! And don't ask why I'm so... randomly... HYPER, because I really don't know. Perhaps it's the caffiene from all the tea I've drunk today... O.o I dunno. <br />
<br />
I bought the new Coldplay CD today... it's SO awesome. I think I'm going to get the Alanis Morrisette accoustic version of "Jagged Little Pill" tomorrow... or Saturday. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />

<br />
work is so not as easy as I thought it  would be... Yesterday (Sunday) was SO  stressing.. first day learning the  register. We were a person short, and  then like, 20 people came in at once...  and I was the only person on register.  you have NO idea how frustrating that  was... T-T Thank goodness for all the  kind people that work there... I was  complimented for keeping my head. That  was a busy day. Hopefully tonight won't  be too horrible, since it's Memorial  Day, and I'm working evening til  close... *sigh*<br />
<br />
I get my new laptop at the end of June.  *dances* ]]></description>

I get  to work there.. woohoo for free coffee! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  Friday was Pio's birthday.. went to  Laura's and hung out and helped put  cool frosting on Pio's cake... <br />
<br />
Saturday I saw my first lacrosse  game... the only thing I have to say  about that sport is that you've either  got balls, or you're very stupid. Who  in their right mind would want to get  beaten with a stick?! *sigh* anywho, my  cousins were playing that... they won..  so we stuck around until Sunday to  watch finals... Woodbridge kicked their  ass.... sorta like what their winter  guard did to ours. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> So Saturday night  we went shopping... got some new  stuff... came to a realization about  college... etc etc..<br />

Light, <br />
like the color <br />

That have taken us <br />
to many places,<br />
through fields of flowers,<br />
the sandy beach<br />
the warmth of love,<br />
and the coldness of hate.<br />
the hollows of misfortune,<br />
and the fullness of happiness.<br />
The light,<br />
like the color of wings,<br />
brings memories from all. </i><br /><br />Oh yeah... I have a one week  subscription... *Happy dance* And I had  a great job interview at Starbucks...  and I made a new friend... and prom was  last weekend.. w00t. ^_^ I'll post  pictures from prom later. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br /><br /><a href="http://perfect-circle.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/e/perfect-circle.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="perfect-circle" /></a> ]]></description>

<br />
Last guard practice was tonight!  Championships are on Saturday! I'm so  excited. I haven't been excited for a  winter guard event in a long time. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /> I  got a solo moment, and I'm sooo happy.  I hope I won't disappoint.<br />
<br />
I've been reading insanely.. I suggest  that everyone.. well.. almost everyone,  read the Anita Blake vampire hunter  novels by Laurell K. Hamilton. ^_^<br />
<br />
ummm... other than that, not much is  new. I might be starting college in  July instead of September, however that  is still being debated. I'm out job  searching... I'm applying at Micheal's  (a craft store), Starbucks... Togo's.. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" />  <br />

Hope you're all well. ^_^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been so sick.. and beaten down..  winter guard is really sucky this  year... =/ I guess my instructor got  used to first place real quick, so now  that we're in the middle, like he said  we would be, he's angry. And it shows.  Saying we don't try, we don't put extra  effort into what we're doing, how only  some people perform half the time...  The way he talks to us, as if he's SO  disappointed and how we 'can do SO much  better.' At the end of class the other  day I just wanted to hit him! >.< He's  being so stupid and arrogant. 13+ hours  of rehearsal PLUS a full Saturday or  Sunday for a competition per week isn't  good enough for him. >.< At the end of  rehearsal last Monday, we were dead  tired with how much we were doing and  such. I couldn't throw a decent five on  my rifle for the life of me... and he  kept beating me down about it. How can  I do well with an ogre breathing down  my neck about technique? It makes me so  angry! And then he gets on to me about  peforming. He's really a prick this  year... *sigh*<br />
<br />
Anyway, I hope you are all better than  I... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> ]]></description>

And we were about 3  points higher than 2nd place. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> it's SO  awesome. First competition in our  division... *does jig* Our instructor  said we <i>might</i> go to Nationals instead  of the Las Vegas regional. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Nationals  are gonna be in Dayton, Ohio! ooohh I'm  so excited! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
Lealta's show was awesome, their  performance was to a recording of "The  Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. Diamond Bar  has to be my favorite this year,  though. They're doing "Mad World" from  the <i>Donnie Darko</i> movie. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry for a lack of journals.. I've had  stuff to write, but I just didn't feel  like writing it.. I just got my report  card.. my mom yells at me for having a  C- in one class, 4 As and a B, and a C  in Ferrell's class. How screwed up is  that? She probably couldn't even -pass-  Ferrell's class if she had to take it.  I got a C- in pysch, because my  teacher's a weirdo. I'm not in that  class anymore. Nor am I in Ferrell's  anymore. She dissed me for a C-,  ignoring all my other accomplishments.  I really can't stand her sometimes.  ARGH.<br />
<br />
First winter guard competition this  weekend at Jurupa Valley High School.  And on Friday I have a 10 hour  rehearsal.... *Just kill me now..* I  saw the costumes... They look a lot  like what's her name's outfit in "Kill  Bill." <3 it's yellow and black. We're  performing to Incubus, "Antigravity."  We're going to have an amazing show..  and according to my instructor, out  work is Scholastic Open level (and  we're only in Scholastic A <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> ). Sooo..  hard work pays off, I suppose.... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm afraid I'm going insane. In a good  way, I hope.. weeellll Rachel left...  it ended up just being me and her  hanging out, and talking to whoever we  saw. I saw my friend, Paige... I  haven't seen her since she graduated.  She's so pretty... She said she's  living up in L.A., but wants to move  back here.. I hope she does, she's such  an awesome friend and I didn't realize  how much I missed her. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> Also saw my  sister's exboyfriend, Nick... I  honestly don't remember him being that  tall.. and now that he's finally 21, he  says he doesn't drink as much. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Then  later I experimented with Rachel's  makeup... Red eyeliner makes the green  in my eyes stand out insanely.. <3 it  was so cool. hmm... that was Friday.  Saturday I got up UBERLY early to  retake my driving test. I did  everything perfectly fine but I can't  back up in a straight line.... BUT I  PASSED!!! woo hoo~!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> Then later to  celebrate my mom took me shopping. lol.  I got a new purse, red eyeliner, and a  new Tool tshirt... so I'm happy. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ happy winter soltice! or happy first  day of winter... which ever you want to  think of it as. ^_^<br />
<br />
Only *4* days 'til Christmas... and  since my family doesn't do the whole  "Santa" thing anymore, my mom doesn't  wait 'til Christmas Eve to put the  stuff under the tree. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /> ssoooo I  discovered this HUGE and heavy wrapped  box with my name on it. And I have NO  clue as to what it is... and it's  driving me up the wall... x.x <br />
<br />
other news... I'm getting my new stereo  put into my car tomorrow...  (Wednesday), and hopefully I'll see my  friend Steve down there while I'm out. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />  I think he wanted to go shopping with  me tomorrow. O.o I find it strange in  itself... but then again, his mother  probably asked him to invite me... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />  that'd be like her... she treats me as  if I were her daughter.. ^_^ But in all  honesty, I'm more than sure my mom, and  his mom are -dying- to get us to go  out. Which ISN'T going to happen...  Might go to the prom as  friends in the  spring... but... I'd rather makeout  with my prom date than just be friends  and go.. =/ but that's just me... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ hmm... things are well, I suppose. I  have to write this autobiographical  essay... WHY CAN'T I WRITE ABOUT  MYSELF?!?!!! T_T *cough cough*  anyway... yeah. Stupid scholarship  packet... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> <br />
<br />
It's official!!! : Palm Desert High  School Winter Guard will be performing  to Incubus, for the rest of winter and  spring! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
Sure, the long practices suck, but hey,  it gets me to do better and better. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
I -finally- got to see my poor, injured  friend... he's doing so miraculously  well. ^_^ only thing really wrong was  that he lost his left eye, but he's  getting some fake eye put in so it'll  look like his other eye.. considering  the muscles still work. Oh, and he got  a metal plate put into his heel because  he managed to break it somehow... O_o  But he's doing much better. He'll go  into physical therapy next Monday all  the way at Loma Linda... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> I'll miss  him... I'm going to see him again  tomorrow (Wednesday). so, all is well. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

the warmth of love,<br />

the hollows of misfortune,<br />
and the fullness of happiness.<br />
The light,<br />

brings memories from all. </i><br /><br />ummmm minus a small random anxiousness,  I'm good... really... my friend got  taken out of the induced coma... and he  remembers everyone and stuff... he has  no recollection of the accident  though... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> he's doing better.. and the  school approved of the fund raising  thingy that I'm planning at school,  too.. so... yay?<br /><br /><a href="http://perfect-circle.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/e/perfect-circle.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="perfect-circle" /></a> ]]></description>

He fell asleep  at the wheel, and hit a boulder that  was in the median.<br />
<br />
He needs reconstructive surgeory on one  side of his face, is blind in one eye,  has a collapsed lung, a fractured  skull, he's on life support, and in an  induced coma because of severe head  trauma... me and a good friend Justin  are constantly waiting for good news  about him.. the good news today was  that he is able to breathe on his  own... he's stabilizing.. <br />
<br />
Anywho, me and a few of his good  friends have come up with an idea to  raise money to help his family pay all  these medical bills... because we all  know they are having much difficulty as  it was <i>without</i> his condition...  anyways, just felt like sharing...  getting some things out of my system  etc... <br />
<br />
Some people around school have these  ribbons tied around their wrists "Pray  for Pat!" and that's what I'm doing...<br /><br /><a href="http://perfect-circle.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/e/perfect-circle.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="perfect-circle" /></a> ]]></description>

I was angry though.. I thought I  had a decent performance, and our  instructors started talking to us about  how horrible the show was... =/ They're  obviously the only ones who really  thought that though. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> we scored an 80.  In this association (WBA), an 80 in our  division (AA) is VERY GOOD. The last  time the guard scored an 80 or above  was at (WGASC, winter guard association  of southern california), championships  for winter guard. (which will be  starting in a couple weeks <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> ). <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ssooo I  can't wait for this week to be done  with!!!!~~ I'm leaving on Thursday for  Modesto, CA for the WBA (world band  association? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> ) championships.

I really wish we could  do more parades... but we're only doing  the one, which was today. The Golf Cart  parade. It was really kind of dumb  because we were teh first to step off..  and it was short. x_x But it's fun  making a fool of yourself, so it was  all good. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Also, winter guard season is starting  soon. I can't wait!! And the instructor  said that the music will be kind of  popular... then borrowed Stef's CDs...  and took the two Incubus CDs out of  it... hmmm... I can't wait to know what  the theme to our show is this year.. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> <br />

anyways... hope you are all well! I'm  great.. only two competitions left and  we're kickin' butt. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ we aren't going to championships on  December 4th... so I can make it to  that SAT date. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> We (the color guard)  got first place out of 6... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> the band  gots second (outa 6 too), and the  drumline 3rd (also outa 6).. so yeah  Saturday night was pretty good, even if  I didn't get to go to the Homecoming  dance.. Friday night's game was shitty  though. The band/guard/drumline was  supposed to perform before the game,  but we didn't get out there until after  the game had already started... my  instructor was SO incredibly pissed...  and so we had a rehearsal...  AT MY  LAST HOMECOMING GAME EVER <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/exclaim.gif" width="10" height="24" alt=":!:" title="!" /> *growls* we  got to see the halftime show... but  that was kinda dumb... (poor Drew  didn't get Homecoming King... he  deserved it... instead the ones who won  were boyfriend and girlfriend, one a  cheerleader and one the quarterback of  the football team x_x)<br />
<br />
ya know, I have TONS of pictures on my  camera... I'm just too lazy to upload  them with all these pressures from  school, guard, my mom, the SATs, etc  etc.... so blah. they should be  uploaded soon, but I'm not promising  anything.. and keep in mind just  because I don't comment on something,  doesn't mean I don't read it.. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The stupid gardeners reseeded the  grass!!! so I can't go into my backyard  to take any pictures!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> *is sad* two  weeks... I took a couple... more like  10 million today. It was all cloudy!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  so they'll be a few up soon... probably  tomorrow. ummmm I get to try on my  guard costume Wednesday... I had to  carry ALL of my equipment down to the  field tonight. a giant 8 ft. pole  (which wasn't used) and a giant 5 ft  tall cross (also not used much) a  hhuuuggee swing flag that's awkward and  heavy (wasn't used either) my rifle  (used) sabre (DEFINATELY used) and a  regular 6ft tall flag. x.x *6* pieces  of equipment, half of which I didn't  even use.. *sigh* (I like to  complain...)<br />
<br />
On a brighter note, check out the band  Mars Volta if you can. they're beyond  awesome. I downloaded "Televators"  which is an awesome song. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>
