Write the date down. I got my license! omg. I'd like to thank all the friends who have ever given me rides, this one's for you guys!

Not only did I let myself down, I let everyone I cared about in that newsroom down.

This week has been the worst, and it's still not over. I can't wait till Monday.

the name of my Journal is from one of her songs.

The first review I've ever written was published this week. I went to Regina's show last week. I don't know how I did because no one really gave me any feedback. In a way, that's kind of worse than getting criticized.

Lately I've been doing a lot more thinking about my future and it's so scary. I wish things would just fall into place because I don't like having to plan big things like life.

Yesterday I used the restroom in the library and written on the left side of the stall in small little tiny baby letters was "I think you're still pretty without the makeup."

It made me smile, it was so cute! Even more so because there was a little tiny heart next to it.

I wanted to take a picture of it, but there's been a slew of peeping toms at school lately. Some guy has been going in the women's restroom and taking pictures of girls in the stalls.

So I figued it wouldn't be wise, especially if someone came in at the exact moment my phone was making the "camera" noise. I could just imagine them kicking the door down and screaming RAPIST!!

George is such a boy because I had a two-hourish lunch with him today and then finally when I left him to go to work and was walking away he asked "Did you cut your hair?" lol Yeah, a whole 12 inches and you hadn't noticed?!
It's not really twelve inches but I say that. I also say that I cut it myself, but that's not true either. I want to get it cut again cause I'm at this point in my life where I will no longer allow mediocrity to exist, and this cut is not 'cutting' it, if you will.
I have less than a week left of freedom before I have to go back to school and start working a 'real' job everyday! Scarrrrrrrrry.

When I say my screename outloud in my head I say it like:

Jour-na-lees-mo

But on the rare occasion someone mentions my screename outloud, in real life, they say it:

Journalism-oh

What's up with that?

Have you seen those Starbursts commercials for the new Berries and Cream flavors???

Probably you have and it freaked you out. But the actor is this AMAZING man named Jack Ferver.

He's AMAZING because he was on Strangers with Candy before he was known as the 'little lad' from those starbursts commercials, and because he's my new icon!! You know you love it.

"I'm SO JAZZEDDD!!"

At first I didn't know what they were, and I never got the O rly ones. But I'll be a liar if I said this post didn't make me LAWL!! I don't know what it is, maybe it's how they make kitty talk.

somebody made a post in stupid_free saying they didn't like macros and people posted 32 pages of nothing but!

My ears make me feel like I'm on a plane!! eww. I have that incessant popping when I swallow or yawn and it hurts me. I was really sick two weeks ago, and was pretty much told I HAD to go to work. I was like death, seriously I wore my black hooded robe but I couldn't find my scythe anywhere! But I was okay with going in because I had to go to "train" my replacement since I was quitting.

It was those kids that made me sick in the first place.

I feel better now, but my ears are telling me otherwise.

And I had such a good track record this year when it came to being sick. I think a lifetime of putting up with my weak immune system has turned me into a vitamin C junkie.

I just got home from a mini-vaycay to Laredo. There is something about that city. Something happens to me whenever I stay for longer than two days and have to come back to this place.

I think it's what leaves me wanting in when everyone else wants out.

I was there for my Grandpa's birthday. While we were there I helped my dad till the land in what could be called our "back yard". We're growing cantaloupes. Well, actually we only plant the seeds and let my grandpa take over the rest since he'll be there to supervise.

It was a strange scene the three of us working the land. Our backs bent making crooked little rows. At one point I looked up and it was like I went through a time warp and was seeing a picture come to life. One from when my dad was little.

There is something definitively Mexican about being close to the land. That land is what brought us to the county. It kept us fed and clothed. It broke our backs. My dad was 9 years old on his hands and knees spreading seed. And now look at us.

And thanks to Anna Nicole I can now die having witnessed a conversation between my Dad and Grandma in which the word "sperm" was used in excess. At the dinner table no less!

I don't have work this morning since the show closed, but I just realized I am on schedule to work Thursday. I wonder what I'll be doing??
I came into the student lounge at the library and sat down at one of the tables. Some guy was already sitting here so I sat on the opposite side of him. And not too long after I sat down this guy comes up to him and is like "Oh! HAY MAN! Where you been all semester I haven't seen you?! What you been up to" and all that that implies, oh and he was really patt-y too, like he was grabbing the guys back ans patting it the whole time he was asking him these questions. And the original table guy was just like "Oh yeah hi, um I been around, and you?" and then the patt-y repressed homosexual guy was like "Just tryna write this paper, I'll see ya" and then he left. At which point the original table guy whips around and says to me "Who the HELL was that?!" LMAO!! haha, I busted out a big MANLY laugh that probably scared him. But I just thought that was sooooo funny! Cause that's what I was thinking when the guy came over. I was like who is this guy? He's all touching on him and this dude doesn't mind, that's nice...and then it turns out he didn't even KNOW HIM!! LOL!

So I now am an official PAID news writer for the Daily Cougar. My first article was on the front page of the Cougar yesterday. I'll take a picture later in case you missed it.

I need to go over there and fill out some paperwork to get on the payroll now that I think about it...

until next time, read some Hole Moles by Austin Havican

Man, and I never got an easy bake oven! Don't think it's too late. I actually asked for one last Christmas and my cousin was like "I'll totally get you one if that's what you really want" And I said YEAH that's what I really want.I'm not one of those people that's starts making Christmas wish lits months in advance or anything, but on Thanksgiving we were looking through the sales together and I saw one so that's why I said that I wanted one...not COMPLETELY random.

Anyway instead on Christmas day I unwrapped one of those tacky shirts with some cocky bullshit on it like "Talented" or something like that. Not that I don't appreciate it, it's the thought that counts. And I'm not into the whole "if they spend more money on me that means they love me more" mindset. I mean I once asked Santa for TOOTHPICKS AND STRAWS!! I think that letter still exists.

I LOATH rude dirty people. I came to the library to use the microwave and type up my story and so I'm standing at the microwave and I was unwrapping my food, got it out and was placing it on a napkin to put it in. and this DIRTY looking boy comes and rips his burrito open and sticks it in when he KNOWS I was there first. So I just looked at him like he was the nastiest slimiest person on the face of the earth. I mean a BURRITO!! You're just gross. And then he got his food out and he left the wrapper there!! NASTY!! He really is nasty cause in his RUSH to beat me to the microwave he forgot that he didn't have any napkins or a plate to set it on so he is looking around and instead of taking his burrito out and going to the bathroom to get a napkin he just lays it in there with nothing underneath and cooks it!!! EWWWWWW!! that is the nastiest part of the whole story. I mean, do you realize how much CRAP gets cooked in there and you choose to go in without protection! I find solace in knowing that rude dude probably got Chlamydia from his burrito....

YAY! I have my first GRADED full length story due this week. That should be fun. I think for my first story I'm going to take a new angle on the Walter's on Washington melee that took place earlier this month.

This is the point in the entry where I'd link you to the genuine journalist story on Chron.com but they archived it and you need to register and a password and BLAH! and to top that all off my favorite site ever for bypassing these annoyances, bugmenot.com, is NOT WORKING! It only gives me a can not find server page. BOO!

So the long and short of it is, a noise complaint was called and an officer went to tell them to lower the music. The officer says as soon as he turned to leave the sound was turned up again so he then went to the stage to tell the band (Two Gallants) to stop playing and the guitarist called him a dirty name or two. Then he takes him down in a choke hold and tasers four people including a 14-year old who was there with his daddy. Yeah there are lots of different accounts (and videos on youtube!) on what happened but i'm not going to write on what did or did not happen.

My angle is the effect of the music scene in Houston, specifically at Walter's since I've been there before. And since I probably can't get any bands to talk to me I'll be asking skinny pant people questions like "Does this make you never want to go to Walter's again?" ...or maybe I'll make the whole thing up, I dunno yet. Crazy because only a couple weeks before I was there to see this man

When you have a BIG decision to make what do you do? Do you look to signs to help direct you? Do you look inside yourself? What questions do you ask? Do you flip a coin? I don't know, but recently I've been picking up on a lot of these "signs" which I honesty interpret as God talking. As corny or hokey as that sounds. I think that's God talking.

well hello livejournal there you are!
Yes i have not used you much since the whole facelifting of the site with all these added features and such. But i can't figure out if i haven't used you because of the features or if i haven't used the features because of you! oh man that was confusing hold on a sec i gotta sit down the room is spinning.

okay better now, i havent updated since the Winter Olympicas!! yes, Olympicas! not olympics! and now that seems months ago, it's not even WINTER anymore it's like SUMMER now. oh wait.. no, it's spring cause i'm on spring break..even though it doesn't even seem like it!
Well this time next year i will be in Cancun or somewhere out of the country cause by then i will have my Passaporte!! not passport, passaporte get with the lingo people! and come may 30 i will be able to just go CRAZY!! i need to sign off for those days NOW so my boss sandra, uh i mean MANDRA doesn't get crazy with me about how i need to have it on paper and wear man pants. etc, etc.

So this spring break i'll be building up my bank account and working really hard on not spending any money for the rest of the duration of the Lenten season. We shall see how this goes.


Big ups to my girl Chloe who won Project Runway last week, if you haven't already go to her store LOT 8 on kirby in the Village and support her by buying a 70 dolla t shirt!!

If you're an olympic watcher and you caught any of the skiing ones...I'm not sure what they're called exactly, but on the ones where they zig zag? yeah those..One of the announcer guys sounds like GARFIELD ..yes the CAT! you know the voice from his show Garfield and friends. If you know what I'm talking about you are awesome, if you don't....eh what else is new?

Sometimes i wish musicians didnt have to make a profit and music was free. I know what you're saying "DUH! just go to limewire/kazaa/bearshare and get it fo' free dummy!" but no that's not what i mean. I mean like ALL music. Not just songs, but cd's and shows, sheet music and instruments! oh it would be like a cultural rehabilitation program. Music is important. Just think of all the music people are being deprived of everyday because they dont have the funds!

i think we could make it happen.

I'm sorry but recently I've been trying to get back into music. And there's so much music i want to experience and i can't do it all at once. I feel like taking it all in at once, like binging on music. Music use to have such a big place in my life. It helped a lot with the inside, it was a outlet for everything. And now there's just this hole where that use to be. I need to get on that cougar staff so I can write or have something to do besides school. It's getting on my nerves! oh and apparently i've also decided to stop capitalizing i's in the middle of sentences and using apostrophe's so sorry if that get's on YOUR nerves.

hmm found this on myspace:
