my hobby is taking random pictures on my phone haha. witness the greatness:

Sigh

Sigh.
I missed writing things here that aren't about the days.
I guess I forgot I could write other things.
I like the days thing.
But still, I don't know.
I registered for my classes today.
It was nerve wrecking.
Not the process, but the fact that I will be taking those classes.
I hope I am prepared.
I don't know.
The names sound so scary, so hard.
Like the classes will overwhelm me.
I hope they don't.
I really hope they don't.
I like mathematics but I don't know if it likes me?
Sometimes, it doesn't like me.
I hope this semester we have a beautiful and loving relationship.
Sigh.

Twenty (No teen!)

I don't really have hobbies, hobbies per say.
One hobby of mine would be to try to guess people ages.
I mean, random people.
Oh and especially actors.
I'm pretty good at it too.
I also like to collect random facts in my head.
Even if I do forget them after a little while.
Well, I also enjoy reading Archies.
Though, I had to throw away all of my Archies.
They were so broken and yucky.
I miss them though.
I also um, enjoy doodling.
It's a big hobby.
My notebooks are always super covered with junk.
:)
They make me happy.

nineteen, take two

i think those are great talents. we call the burned rice "concon", at least my mom's family does.

hmm, untraditional talents:
i think i can pick up people's emotions really well..i guess i'm just sensitive.
i'm incredibly flexible; fingers included, and this freaks people(you) out
and i can make mean mushrooms!

Nineteen

I have many talents.
I think a good useful talent of mine is the ability to straighten the back of my hair.
I guess a lot of people can do it but well, um, I like how I do it.
My mom can't do it.
And um, yeah.
I guess another better talent is the ability to burn rice to perfection.
You know, get it to stick to the pot?
We call it "cucayo".
It's very good with ketchup.
Yum.
I guess I just don't want to state the obvious talents, you know?
But well, um yeah.

i like thinking about the world, and how many people are leading different lives.

like, when i was little i would go watch airplanes take off from a nearby airport; it was exhilarating to see the flying machine take off and wonder about each of the passengers--where they were heading, what they were leaving behind.

it's exciting to think that people are being born, people are dying, people are celebrating, people are worshiping, people are living. it makes you feel small, and i don't mean literally like me.

Today, I wanted to share my favorite short story.
I'm sure I've shared it already but whatever.
This story made me cry.
It really did.
The story is by Julius Lester.
"Spear".

Oh and also, how awesome is Jason Mraz in Sesame Street?
Singing with Elmo a song made just for the show, "Let's Go Outdoors (to the tune of I'm Yours)".
My children are DEFINITELY watching Sesame Street.

i couldn't resist

alright, so here's the story i have behind the bather:

i was at the MoMA one summer with my sister and a boy cousin and a girl cousin. my sister and the girl cousin ran off to go look at sculptures, and the boy cousin and i went to see the bather--which i was obsessed with at the time.

so on our way there, i see this cute and quirky looking ginger boy. he happens to be going the same way (we don't make eye contact or anything, we're just in the same area). eyah i'm admiring the beauty of the bather and my cousin points to this odd looking girl coming our way (at this point, the ginger is next to us).
this girl walks up to the guy and goes, "hey, i've been watching you since you were on the other floor, and i was wondering if you wanted to grab a cup of coffee or something after" and the quirky boy turns red, like his hair, and awkwardly says "uh yeah, i'd like that! b..but can i ask you a question" she nods, and he continues "what made you want to approach me" and she responds with "you just seemed interesting"

and they walked off.
i think it was one of the cutest random things i've seen. and the fact that i witnessed it all in front of the bather makes it so much better.
i'd like to think the ginger and the odd girl were meant to be together.

seventeen, again

so i had this post all planned out in my head.
art, i like art. i like french people too. and french artists=amazing!
i was going to pick Cezanne's The Bather, and i had a story to say about it too, that was until i decided to click the "Next Blog" button at the top of the page.
and BAM!
i ran across this:

It is Janet Fish's "Green Tea Cup".
I love it!

I don't really know which is the true title of the song.
I believe it is:
Tengo Hambre de Ti
or it could be:
Por Un Destello de Tu Gloria
not sure.
But it is sung by Jesus Adrian Romero.

Two Headed Boy by Neutral Milk Hotel



this is like one of my favorite songs, despite its sadness

the whole album is absolutely amazing, i think it was inspired by Anne Frank, which makes it so much more meaningful .

Fourteen?

So I didn't know what fanfic was either.
I googled it.
That I did.
Turns out to be a website.
Knowing this now, I think I saw it on a Degrassi episode.
They're not that good...the fanfics I saw I mean.
Whatever.
I picked one :)

i don't really read anything like that....so can i say nothing.
yea, ok.

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, i'm in love with this song

Regrets

I am in the process of moving to a new house.
Day dos is complete.
(Thank the lord!)
Not country or state.
Still, I have many regrets.
Like not meeting the really cute guy down the street.
WHO (or is it whom?) I found out is a policeman.
How much cuter is that?
I also regret not going out to my backyard so much.
I regret not keeping my bedroom so clean.
I regret having put up a hammock.
(Just because I'm going to miss it; there is no good walls in my new room!)
Small and big regrets.
What I don't regret is wanting to move.
I kind of like my new house a lot.
I can't wait for you to meet it :)

(By the way, I agree about the Marie Antoinette movie. It sucked. I did enjoy the scenery and the visuals. I wish I could be the dauphine too. We should have a ball!!)

Marie Antoinette: The Journey
By Antonia Fraser

Lady Antonia Fraser is her proper title. It's because she is the daughter of an earl.
I think that's kind of cool.
I wish my dad was an earl.
Except not a broke earl but the kind with money.
I read that book.
FYI?

it says a fictional book, not necessarily your favorite, but just a fictional book

so i'm going to with Harry Potter- )the series as a whole(

i don't like it anymore, but it was the series that got me interested in reading, so i feel like i have to credit it for that.

i've gone back and tried to reread what i found so interesting just a few years ago, but i've found that the sentences are short. the plot is predictable. there's no underlying meaning in anything, every detail is just kinda thrown at you.

i'm going to my sister's art exhibition today!
and i'm super excited

back to eleven

my friend took this and when i complained about it being zoomed in and half my face being cut off, he said it was artistic...

AHHHHHHHHH YAHHHHHH!

I'm in a karate mood.
I saw Karate Kid.
It was really fun.
Better than the original.
Except not really.
I mean, the original was kidn of amazing.
With Mr. Miyagi and Daniel-san.
Still, Daniel-san was NEVER EVER as cute as Xiao-Dre.
Frreaking Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith make one hell of a beautiful baby.
The movie was cute.
Predictable.
Jaden Smith is just adorable.
That was basically the highlight of the movie.

The Other Boleyn Girl
by Philippa Gregory

It's a totally fictional book.
Kind of bothers me.
This is a case of fact stranger than fiction.
But whatever-

baby

i forget my brother is a baby.

we have a guest in our house and my parents decided to give him my room. i knew nothing of this, i didn't even know he was coming; i came back from a sleepover to see my stuff in my brothers room.

they expected me to share a bed with him. his small, twin bed. so we did 'cause i felt bad making him sleep on the floor ahahaha.

and i couldn't sleep because his nightlight was on, so i turn it off and suddenly he starts talking. we talk for almost an hour before i tell him t go to sleep. and he says, "i can't, i'm scared. "

and it was so cute. so i told him he could grab my foot whenever he got scared (half joking) and he did, the WHOLE NIGHT.

i couldn't stop laughing, but it was so cute.
i forget he's a baby.

Today, I made up a word.
It is not a word with a good connotation but it tickled my fancy.
The word of the day is:
pimpleada-adj. having a very big break out problem.
Laura esta pimpleada.
Yup, that's right.
I broke out.
It's to be expected after a whole week of sun, sunblock, sea and pool.
Still, I'm VERY grossed out by myself.
I wish I didn't have to look at myself.
TMI- I'm not pimpleada on the face but my shoulders.
Grossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
(I hope I grossed you out!)

Once

My sister, myself and a friend :)

one of those

today is one of those days where i don't feel like seeing people, i hope you get this and don't think i'm being awfully weird.

but i made plans for today and if i don't follow through, the people i'm supposed to see will probably be very upset with me for a long time.

ughhhh i don't want to go.
