I haven't been on in a while... been busy, especially with work. I got a job at Steve & Barry's University Sportswear,
at Grapevine Mills Mall in Neighborhood 1 as a Cashier / Sales
Associate, sometime before Christmas... and let me tell you, I barely
get any sleep anymore. The hours and shifts suck, but the pay is
a little decent at $7/hr. I want another job... perferably one that has
flexible hours and a decent pay, but I doubt I'll find one.
Anyway, the semester has started out mostly good. I have LEAP
English first period, which is a huge class with awesome people (I love
LEAP); then for second I have Theater Tech 2 which is so fun especially
with Katie C, Cinthia M, Ashleigh G, Cody W, and Kris; for third I have
AP Statistics which is the only crappy thing about the semester and
which they (meaning Dickey and the 'H' vice principal, prude prig
Ingram) won't let me drop out of; then I have 4th off which is awesome
because I get to go home or do stuff with other people who have 4th off
like Jenny and Shelby.... So that's my schedule for this semester.
So... today, after 3rd period, me, Jenny, and Shelby went to Grapevine
Mills and watched "Fun with Dick and Jane." That movie was
hilarious... but I don't think the other people in the theater found it
as funny as we did. LOL, we were laughing like throughout half
the movie. I so recommend it for a good laugh, but only if you
like that kind of humor, otherwise you might not like it.
Soo... I decided to syndicate my Xanga and MySpace... meaning that I'm
just copying and pasting what I typed on one to the other, so the
entries will be completely identical.
Just got back from Jenny's little birthday get together thingy... well
got back like two hours ago, but it felt like just a few minutes
^_^ Anyway, Jenny, being the little kid she is, wanted to do a
Build-A-Bear party -- the one at Grapevine Mills -- and so we (6 of us)
went there... let me tell you, that was quite a... uh... different, yet
fun, experience.
So, at the Build-A-Bear place... we were screaming like half the time
we were there. In order to give 'life' to the animals, we had to
go through this... ritual type thingy. We had to scream "Stuff my
bear!" while walking through the store in order to get our bears
stuffed... it was crazy, but way fun. And we had to pass "Jane"
(the little smiley-faced heart) around while we were waiting to get
stuffed... Jane got dropped so many times... I think we killed her, but
whatev, she's in my bear! (My bear has TWO hearts!) Sooo... me, Angela,
and Kristin got triplet bears! w00t! Mine was Duey, Angela
has Luey, and Kristin has Huey... lol... and then we dressed them up as
the Village People of YMCA. Mine was the police officer, Angela's
the construction worker, and Kristin's the biker dude.
So after that, we were gonna eat at Applebee's, but the wait was like
40 minutes long, so we decided not to go and just go to Jenny's mom's
house instead. There we watched School House Rock, then ate
pizza, salad, and then watched Bring It On.
So... that was my night and day 1 of Jenny's 18th b-day party, now on to day 2!
The little story that influenced me and forever changed the way I think of my life goes something like this: A man was carrying his cross on his back, the cross that represents his hardships and burdens in life, but he found it too heavy to carry any longer. So he asked God (or any divine being) if He would have mercy and lighten the man's load. The Lord, forever merciful, then said that He will allow the man to exchange the cross for another... so for the moment cross-free, the man goes into a room full of crosses of all different sizes, spots the smallest cross in the room, and tells the Lord that is the cross he will carry... The Lord then said, "That is the cross that you wanted to exchange..."
So the way I see it, we each have our own cross to carry and trudge around, but remember that there are people out there that carry larger crosses than you do... so we should all be thankful for what we have because it may be a lot more than what others have...
Me, I'm thankful for all the friends that I know I can trust and turn to for support... I'm thankful for my family and how they always put up with my crap, even when I've done a lot of things to break their trust... I'm thankful, even though it sounds materialist, all the things I have, like a roof over my head... and most of all, I'm thankful to be alive, even when sometimes, I wonder what life is...
Well... I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! I love you all!!!
<3 EH
>> EDIT <<
Well, I was just thinking about my mouth... and well it doesn't hurt anymore!!! Usually, there's a small dull pain, but I don't even feel anything!!! Actually, I noticed as I woke up this morning, I was expecting the dull ache like normal, but I felt sorta different... because the ache wasn't there!!! w00t!!! and so I ate my Thanksgiving lunch alright without any ache... ahh... the joys of life...
I'm so hungry!!!
I got my wisdom teeth taken out last Thursday after school... and my
mouth hurts... I can't eat anything solid yet, just soup, and
soup doesn't fill me up so I'm in a constant state of hunger...
anyway, not much to talk about (well, I can't really talk because it
hurts to open my mouth very wide), but also nothing's really
happened. Everyone's still at ITS having fun without me... I
can't go to the movies because I won't be able to enjoy the movies with
gauze sticking out of my mouth as I drool everywhere... and I'm still
hungry...
there is some good news from the past couple of days... we upgraded our
interenet connection and got the new Verizon FiOS internet service
thingy. It's faster than cable internet and just as fast as T1
internet for the same price as DSL!!! I love it, I can download stuff
alot faster now, and I can go on the interent on my old laptop in my
room!!!
when my mouth gets better, I wanna eat lots of meat and solid food...
go watch Harry Potter and Rent... and hang out with people over the
break...
okie dokie
<33 EH
>>> EDIT <<<
I'm a weak person!!! I don't like pain... and my mouth hurts...
My dad is so freakin racists, sometimes I wonder how and why he even married my mom, but I guess he's not racist towards asians. He's always talking about that BLACK guy or that MEXICAN person in a derogatory tone of voice and cracking racist jokes like it's funny... damn, he's so stupid, he didn't even go to college, and he said he had the opportunity to but he didn't want to!!!
Why do I have such a sissy, weak youngest brother? He's freakin crying about a jammed finger from playing basketball. I use to play sports, basketball and volleyball, and I've had a ton of injuries from them like a dislocated wrist (which I popped back in place myself... and which I'll probably suffer for in the future), a few jammed fingers, numerous bruises everywhere on my body, an elbow to my mouth... but I never cried about it... and I'm a GIRL!!!!
I'm so ashamed of my heritage sometimes. The only people that I'm proud to claim relation to are my other brother Dave, my mom, and like one or two from my mom's family who actually went to college, got good jobs, and made a good life for themselves. And sometimes I'm ashamed of myself for even thinking about this of my family... am I a bad person for this? I mean, I know people are different and should be accepted the way they are, and I do accept them the way they are... while I hope they change...
And I also know that this might be petty junk to some people, but hey, we all have our crosses of different sizes to carry... and for those who do not like anything associated with religion (such as the cross), then... i don't know... so, this is my venting for the week...
... well... on another note...
Damn, I really need to start my applications to the out-of-state colleges I want to go to... eh, if worst comes to worst I'll just apply (which I am) to some public Texas college and get accepted automatically because I'm in the top 10% at school ^_^
So... people are going to ITS... but I'm not You guys who are going... have fun for me!!! Just don't do anything I wouldn't do Like Cody, Katie, Lauren Cook, Kyle, all the Amanda's, Collin, and anyone else I didn't mention... how I wish I could go...
Hmm... this post entry took like 1 hour to do (mostly because I'd get distracted and do something else online)... I'm making up for the past months when I never did anything with Xanga.
so I'm in a constant state of hunger...
