Merry Christmas Y'ALLLLLLLLL!!

It's funny how you look foward to one day SOOO much and SOOO many days in advance .. and in a matter of hours its over.  Well, 364 days until Christmas :) lol

I got some pretty good stuff.  Lots of clothes, lots of cds (Good Charlotte, Green Day, Best of Britney Spears, Dashboard Confessional.)  Green day kicks ass, so does Dashboard.  Also got some dvds like best of SNL's, Cheaper by the Dozen, Shrek2 and other fun stuff like that.  OOO and can't forget my white and hot pink converse, and ipod speakers!!

Hands down, this had to be one of my best Christmas's ever.  Chilled with the family for most of the morning and then we PARTAYYYED.  A lot of my friends came to my house which was really fun -- Jenna, Kelli, Donnellys, Phil, and Mike Zee all came over and we had a blast.  They're all amazing friends, and i love them tons.  We watched best of Will Farrell SNL, watched Mike Zee drunk on camera, critiqued everyone in my yearbook, and just teased each other! lol .. it was great to spend Xmas with the people that mean so much to me.  Great way to start my vaca :)

VACATION IS SO SHORT THIS YEAR .. so much to do, so little time.

I sure hope New Years Eve rocks.

Merry Christmas to everyone, and peace to all!! Luv ya dudes

Well hello there darlings ...

I haven't written in a while .. but then again I always write like once every 2 weeks.  Today was kind of a crappy day .. I found out that our french trip is cancelled and im SOOO PISSED .. it sucks .. and so far I started this marking period out HORRIBLE -- D+ on my first physics test, and C on my first french test.  Too bad my teachers don't know anything and are sooo sucky .. now I needa work my ass off the rest of the marking period and try to bring my grades up.

On a brighter note, the next Rainbow Retreat is this weekend!!  I'm so excited .. even though I think it's gonna be kind of different because I did it already.  It's weird because I can't imagine this retreat being better than the last one, because the last one was perfect--but supposedly a lot of people feel that way and end up liking the 2nd one just as much.  So I'm sure that will be the case!  Especially since my sister is gonna be on it, and I am dying for her to have a great experience .. ANDDDD I can't wait to see my freshmen lovers at church on Sunday .. I miss them oooo soooo much ESPECIALLY YOU SARAH SALAZAR!! :)

What else?? Hmm .. o yah .. 10 DAYS AND I'M DRIVING!!  It's kind of funny how every sophomore/freshmen I know are counting down the days with me .. I'm so gonna be used for rides lol.  But whatever, I really don't care, CUZ I CAN FLIPPING DRIVE IN 10 DAYS.  Couldn't be more excited .. ahhhhhhh

I went to Starbucks with Bre yesterday .. we talked about a lot of stuff and it was nice.  She understands me alot, and I can just bitch and pour my heart out all I want and she'll listen .. which is good because the only way I survive with my whole guy situation is by complaining bout it to my friends ha.  Guys are so complicated, I wish I could just find someone awesome who could just like me back and feel the same way I feel about them .. why is that so damn hard?? lol

But .. I have A LOT of fun things to look forward to:
1. Meeriam's bday IS THIS FRIDAYY (you youngin)
2. Meeriam's Sweet 16 party in January
3. Rainbow Retreat this weekend
4. My bdayyyy
5. CHRISTMASSSS :)
6. Play next week (I <3 VLAD AND MAZUR)

I'm out .. love you alll

Hey Hey Hey!  Haven't written in a while so it's time to update ...

This weekend was my Rainbow Retreat.  Words can't describe how amazing it was, and how much I needed that little break from reality.  It was even more perfect than I thought it would be, and I love all my little frosh :)   I can't wait til the next one!

Alsooooo yesterday I stayed home from school.  I wasn't feeling well and a lot of crap that has been going on lately has really been bothering me.  I ended up spilling everything thats been upsetting me to my mom and she helped me out and made me feel a lot better.  So I'm happy now .. and I think things are better off the way they are now.

This weekend should be really fun!! Saturday night I'm  having a slumber party with JENNA AND MEERIAM!!  We were talking bout how we haven't done anything just the 3 of us since summer (and in summer it was pretty much us 3 EVERY SINGLE DAY.)  So we're doing that, and its gonna be tons of fun cuz they're my bestest friends and I love them and we do goofy things!  I also think I'm chillen with Pat and Chelsea and Joe and other youth group peeps Sunday--so I got some stuff to look forward to.

And just a little reminder ... 23 DAYS TIL MY BDAY!

I better not fail my license test

Well today was pretty rough .. its been a bad 3 days actually.  It's just sad how things work out -- very unfair. First and foremost, I wanna send my thoughts and prayers to my good friends that are going through a lot -- I wish them the best and I love them very much.

Grrr .. my heart hurts   I found out some yucky news today, and I'm ANYTHING but happy.  I just don't know how to react--I feel very betrayed and just really upset and hurt.  Boys are mean .. I really need to find one that will be nice to me .. and that actually cares bout me ...

But on a brighter note, my friends really helped me out today.  They made me feel a lot better -- they're the best I LOVE THEM!!!!!

And yesterday wuz my last SAT class wooo hooo!! After, I went to Friday's with Jenna and Cila to celebrate and we had a really rude waitress so we left her a $2.75 tip.  Yah, we're mean, but it was very funny.  And I had Chelsea's Sweet 16 Saturday night which was really fun .. I got to chill with the coolest people in the world.

I wish Ryan Cabrera would sing to me right now ..
