Missed it(well her) by THAT much

2009-11-28T07:05:18Z

F**@&*^$*&^&#&@%^&#$!!!!!!!!!!!!

So we got my sister two day hopper passes for her birthday- we decided to begin this trip at California Adventure today and do Disneyland tomorrow.
My phone is a piece of shit that kept dying/reviving through out the day, at one brief period of life i got a tweet/twitpic that Demi Lovato was 'in the happiest place on earth' i got really excited for a sec about to tell my sister (who's a HUGE fan) before I thought to myself 'well maybe she's just with some awesome friends and is considering wherever she may be right now the happiest place because she's having a great time'
When i finally got somewhere with an internet connection and checked it out- turns out SHE WAS IN THE FREAKIN' PARK NEXT DOOR THE WHOLE DAY!

*sigh* i'm just glad i hadnt told my sister and she wont have to deal with this disappointment
however, I WILL know :(
GAHHHH

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Animal Shelters

2009-06-25T05:59:46Z

Does anyone know any specific animal shelters in AZ?

So, sometime around late October last year I started getting really into the idea of adopting a dog. I got as far as finding a shelter, a bit of a ways away but they had this dog that had a story, and I wanted to see if he could me the one. The adoption thing didn't work out because I am not head of this house and was overruled :S

I was pissed, so I decided if I couldn't adopt a pet then at least I could try to help out at the shelters with animals that needed a second chance. I went online and found some, but nothing came up that was particularly close to my area. I did sign up as a volunteer through some online places I found and again at the adoption things they set up at PetSmarts and PetCos but I've not been contacted in a LONG time.

So if anyone could point some shelters out to me...that'd be cool:D

What the eff?!

2009-06-18T21:57:38Z

Why the HELL is everyone treating Natalia like a dumbass that's going around intentionally steamrolling all over everyone else?!?! she's done NOTHING but try to do the best for everyone and, alright so maybe she should have been doing something for herself for once instead of putting everyone else first but that does NOT give everyone in the town the right to judge her like this.

Also just what the hell is wrong with everyone in this town?! Honestly I think I've officially gone insane. - I am not at all into soaps and now i'm getting all worked up over how theyre treating this fictional character *shakes head in shame*

And last but most certainly not least.... TAKE A STEP BACK FROM WHERE?!?!?! FROM WHAT?!?! ARE THEY GOING TO START WALKING BACKWARDS THROUGH THE WALL THEY WERE STANDING AT?! OR BACKWARDS FROM THE LINE THEY HAVENT CROSSED YET?! WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?!?

Ok my freaking out is now over :D

....i think i was happier not watching this soap...(thankfully it's the only one iv ever succumed to)
i need somerhing else to get sucked into cuz this is just ridiculous at this point- i'm giving up *shakes head*

Who do you think it is easier to talk about your problems with: your friends, your family, or strangers?

View 501 Answers

i think it's easier to blab about my problems to strangers...on the internet. I cant discuss the majority of my problems with my family because they are way to judgemental and would tell me I'm being stupid & ridiculous in the way I think. My friends, well I dont want to 'bring them dowm' with my crap. And I dont feel strangers would sit & listen properly. Strangers on line...well no offense to people on line, but i feel it's like....a talking journal. I vent, i get feedback. if i dont like that feedback.....well i can be an ass and pretend i never got it:D

Car Accidents Suck BAAAAD:(

2009-03-17T10:18:02Z

So my car finally bit the bullet today :(
at 1230ish ( i remember cuz my friend made us put in the Mama Mia! soundtrack and listen to the song "Gimmie!Gimmie!Gimmie!(A Man After Midnight) cuz the lyrics fit perfectly, for him anyway:p) a car ran a red light and hit us. The girl apparently got stuck in her car for the longest time and when she finally got out, she went straight to the hospital, though the paramedics and the cops told us she was fine.
My car will never drive again....hers----i think some duck tape with fix just about everything. (from what i could tell it was just the headlights missing and the airbags deployed) i do hope she's ok, but at the same time i cant help but think:
FUCK!
I REALLY loved my car. It was my first ever car. red '98 ford mustang (& while the 60's-70's are my favorites, i had gotten rather attached:( )
i'm very thankful that my best friend, that normally rides with me, was in a different car tonight and that my other best friend, who rarely is ever in my car, claimed to be fine.
but really....DAMN! and i STILL cant find a job :S this has just been a bad past six months :(
my right leg was sore earlier but it's steadly feeling more painful and my upper back is sore as fuck but other than that i'm ok

Ouchies

2009-03-06T10:21:18Z

So I just got back from watching Watchmen....
I liked it... I mean, it had quite a bit of crap that pissed me off but it also had a lot I liked.
All I really want to comment on is---the music choices for a lot of the scenes.....
GENIUS! I dont even know how often I cracked up at that :p

bows head in shame I went to watch Twilight

2008-11-21T20:21:13Z

....NOT AT MIDNIGHT THOUGH!!! i waited til midday expecting the hordes of fans to have either already seen it or be stuck in school but there were still a ton of people there

i want to make this clear though I ONLY WENT TO SEE ASHLEY GREENE (i've developed a crush *blush*)
i honestly expected the movie to be - well not really worth what i paid for it but i figured, i'm a fan of most of the actors in it so i'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Plus hopefully the people who made the movie discovered the true OTPness of Bellice and will give Alice a bit more of a role.... WRONG she had maybe three- four lines? Plus they wrote her kind of spaceyish and i dont know, it just wasnt my Alice but i'm very proud of Ashley for doing with it what she could.
i think the only thing i truly enjoyed(besides Ashley Greene) was the music.
I was hoping for it to be more visually exciting but, other than the scenery, nothing really special. *bows head* i had HOPED AND HOPED that i was just THINKING it was going to be bad but *shakes head*
i dont know maybe it's just me, but i felt that they couldve done better

Emmy's request

2008-09-21T00:53:19Z

sooo i'm taking off tomorrow (sunday) morning for a one night trip to LA because my friend offered me a ticket to go to Goldfrapp for free, and he's paying for everything so i'm pretty much going to miss the Emmy's, which i REALLY want to see also but i mean really who's going to pass up a free concert/quick trip to LA?
so i was wondering if someone could let me know where to find the whole thing later so i can see it for myself? or possibly load it somewhere for me to watch it, please? :D

Freakin' Terrified

2008-08-28T07:23:33Z

I'm going to be stage managing for the first time in my life soon--for the play The Lamarie Project and i am so scared!
but i was more terrified yesterday. I told my friend who has been by my side since freshman year of highschool---that's seven years of friendship right there and though sometimes he can be alittle tactless, he managed to talk me through most of my panic and for that, i could not be more grateful. I down right love this boy! He has truly cemented his place as big brother in my heart.
What i feel to be one of the most exciting things about this is that if the director (my teacher) finds that he likes my work- he'll nominate me for an intership on freakin' BROADWAY!!!!
and he's been telling me about how our new Technical Director(that i hadnt met until this past monday) mentioned to him that 'someone named alex came to introduce herself to me this morning' and apparently he flipped out and was excited because he could see that if there was one thing i love, is to be backstage at a theater helping a production function as smoothly as possible.

I also am very thankful for this new best friend I've come across this summer. We became inseperable after knowing each other a grand total of two days. Oddly enough, we could have met years before, we were friends with a lot of the same people, but for some reason it took this long to come across each other. That's ok though, the friendship literaly came out of nowhere and i'm still a little apprehensive about the friendship because i'm not sure about this happening so fast but at the same time,----apparently i'm happier than i was last semester (i had been subdued-ly depressed for the past couple of years so this is a big deal for me) since people keep telling me that they can see the change in me...& honestly i do feel much better

i'm hoping this is a turning point for me :D

How is one supposed to feel...?

2008-07-03T04:44:28Z

i havent talked to my birthfather's side of the family in years since i was 6ish cept when they popped outa nowhere briefly during my high school graduation to send me money to fill in for the years of silence. the only person from that side of the family ive kept in contact with is my aunt and that is in brief e-mails every now and then

Now to the crux of the story:
yesterday (i'm twenty now, i think this time line is what's realy doin me in) i opened an e-mail telling me that my aunt's father was in a car accident and passed away. the e-mail goes on to tell me that apparently he had a bunch of letters he had written to me and letters i had written when i was younger and pictures of me.
what am i supposed to be feeling? quite honestly after reading the e-mail i burst into tears, not out of grief but out of confusion. i honest to god DO NOT know how the heck i am supposed to feel about this man? and is this REALLY the type of news that should be given through an e-mail?
i mean really- god forbid they CALL or anything i mean, it's not like they have my number or anything! oh wait....they do!!!!

Stupid friends/family and THE TONY'S!!!

2008-06-16T04:59:34Z

My best friend Nathan was a big part of why I got into theater so I texted him to ask him if he was watching the Tonys SUPRISE no.....
my family doesnt GET my enthusiasm for theater so THEYRE not watching it, even though my little eight year old sister made a good attempt at staying put through it but pooped out about half way through:(
in other words- I'm alone in my passion and love for theater
so

How AWESOME was this!!?!?!?! I mean it totally and firmly cemented all the reasons why I LOVE the theater as much as I do. How effin' hillarious was Whoopie rising from the Phantom's boat?! I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF!!!!! Ok so she did a lot of amusing ones but still--ha!

Also, how GORGEOUS did Kristin Chenoweth look? even (if not especially) in her non-madeupness in that vid with Laura Bell Bundy! and my god Idina! these women were made to be admired i mean REALLY!
i must say i was a little disappointed by how short the RENT piece was but it was amazing all the same. Also I was impressed by the Lion King's puppet, which i had only seen in passing on tv. and this year's tony's opened my eyes to some great musicals and plays that i cant wait to go to the theater to experience: Passing Stange looked amazing as well as the cast of Gypsy and the 39 Steps looks really amusing too! and now i REALLY want to go watch In the Heights and Cry-Baby
well now i'm done ranting!

and THAT was my first attempt at a cut...how'd it go?

Visiting Mexico

2008-05-19T03:05:33Z

Sooo--- round two days ago i took a bus down to my hometown of Guaymas,Sonora Mexico for my cousin's 19th bday and to visit family
and now----
I GET TO WATCH PUSHING DAISIES AND TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES OVER AGAIN!!!!!YAY!!!!!
'cause right now theyre still going on here and i LOVE LOVE LOVE that, cause i can watch it again and again and again!
and theyre only on the second epidose of TSCC here right now!!!!!
i'm so freakin' psyched!

sadly :( i just broke a glass and now i feel guilty
but Cameron just gave Sarah one of her all too cute head tilts so now i'm all set again! teehee

also i just immersed my cousin more into the Chenoness *nod* last time i saw her (which was like a year ago) i introduced her to Wicked - this year she's taken some innitiative and bought the soundtrack!
sadly that was all the Cheno exposure she had-- tonight i made her listen to more songs and played her oscar moment for my cousin to watch
my grandfather is now even more impressed by the fact that i havent given in to what 'kids these days' are listening to (fully anyway) and like more soothing stuff
---granted i think my aunt and cousin might now think i'm just a little TOO into Kristin Chenoweth but whatever, that woman deserves all the admiration i can give her and more
and GOD i had forgotten how hot it was to watch Lena Headey running around with a gun and throwing Summer Glau into a wall after riding a motorcycle!!!!!
