time goes by too fast

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 22:29:08 GMT

I'm so happy that the weather is getting hot again. The sun has been out everyday and I love it. I'm really glad that I don't live where it snows a lot. The snow would be nice, but I don't think I could live with it past March. Anyhow, school will be out soon and I can't wait. I'm sick and tired of my dress code and I can't wait to go out of town and see my best friend. We've got so many plans that we wanna do. Plus, I wanna go out of state. After summer, I'll be a freshman in high school-so that's pretty cool. 'Kinda excited about it. *sigh* But everything has gone by so fast. I just can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was in the sixth grade, sitting outside with my friends talking about what high school would be like and wondering what we'd be like in two or three years.

I've been working on my story every night and trying to think of new ideas to put in the ending and how to start the sequel off right. I'm going to take my little notepad with me just in case a good idea sparks me at school. I may have some extra time in 5th period/6th period. I hope so at least. Lately I've been so busy though with school. This is the boring-est school year ever. 8th graders got treated special last year and there was no dress code like the one they have now. At least the year went by fast and before I know it I'll be in the hot sun, enjoying the summer and then starting all over at high school. I can't wait to be with my sis, she said she's gonna walk me to all of my classes on the 1st week of school till I get the hang of things and where my classes are. I'm nervous about high school though-but excited at the same time.

Well, I'll update again later, I guess. I just wanted to update on here. I've been meaning to but hadn't had the chace to.

My First School Dance

Sun, 11 Feb 2007 05:25:23 GMT

I went to my first dance tonight. It was OK, I guess-kinda boring in my opinion. I dressed in a white shirt with polka dots and a red belt around like what-my rib cage area. What do they call those-fashion belts? Anyhow, then I had a red clutch purse and earrings on. So yeah, I kinda wanted to dress a little nice. I was extremely nervous when I got to school cuz well, I dunno-what do you expect anyway? I walked in blushing and pressed my red lips together as I looked for people I knew. I rolled my eyes (with eyeshadow to make my eyes POP.) looking around. I felt a little too overdone, but when I saw these girls wearing formal dresses and their faces literally caked with makeup, I didn't think I looked too dressy. I had a nice time with my friends though. And no, I didn't dance. I don't dance and I don't know how either.

I changed my layout cuz the Kirsten Dunst one wasn't aligned right, btw. I kinda like this one. Oh and I went to the bookstore and got "The Freedom Writers Diary". I can't wait to start readin' it. The movie was really good. I cried a lot in it. Mostly cuz I thought of my friend who looks just like Eva (a character in the movie) did on that movie. My friend goes to a different school now and I didn't get a chance to really say bye to her. She didn't come to school on her last day for some reason. I really miss her-I hope I can see her soon. I haven't seen her since December.

A lot of confusin' stuff has been goin' on and I'd vent bout that but it's almost 1 AM and I'm so tired that my eyelids keep fallin while I'm trying to type...so I better go now.

Thinkin'

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 01:48:38 GMT

Today was no school-so I was pretty happy about that. I love four day weeks-it gets you closer to another Friday. I love Fridays-and the weekend.

Lately, I've been working on my story every chance I get-kinda. 'Thing is, I'm not sure how to start the sequel out or what exactly to put in it though. So I've been writing "scenes" (basically brainstorming) of what I might want to happen. It's sorta difficult cuz I don't want it to sound predictable or dumb. I want it to be somethin' fresh and new that you don't typically read...something that's realistic. But at the same time something that will take somebody for a spin and will be something really good. I don't know about everyone-but I like things that are original.

Anyhow, my sister told me at the store today that I could get a job when I turn fifteen this fall. I was thinkin bout it and I wondered what it would be like to work a grocery store or somethin. It'd be really cool to get a paycheck, knowing that you earned the money, knowing that you worked your butt off for it--but at the same time I don't want to get a job cuz I'm not sure if it's my time to get my first job. Hmm. I need an opinion of somebody who has a job or has had a job.

Well, it's gettin kinda late and I need to shower before bed.

Happy New Year!!

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 05:07:52 GMT

I got a new layout but I'm not sure if I'll keep it. Charlie (the dude w/ the mustache who's sorta frowning) is sort of freaking me out. For some reason, his mustache really scares me. I dunno why though. Other than that, this layout is OK. But I wanna make my own layout, maybe I will too. I want a Aishwarya Rai. She's really pretty and I like that she's a real Indian. I think that's cool that she's from South India. I never seen an actress from Bollywood-is that what they call it? I think so.

Anyway, last night was so crazy. This house was going crazy and they were screaming "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!" every 4 seconds. It made me mad cuz it was almost 1 AM and I was really tired but I couldn't sleep with all of their screaming. So I prayed to God, "Please make them stop soon. I'm really tired and they're keeping me up." I know that everybody likes to have a good time-but I was so tired and just had to sleep. And somehow, within 2 seconds of that prayer I must've went to sleep pretty quick cuz when I woke up it was almost 9 and my mom woke me to tell me that she was going to work. Then I fell asleep and woke up at 10. Here's the crazy part: When I was checking my e-mail, I heard voices. My sister and a guy we know from our old town was dropping my sister off back here at our house for another week. The guy and his daughter were in the kitchen, so I panicked (in fear of my sister bringing in that girl with her to see if I was awake or somethin) and pulled my matted curls in a ponytail, got washed up and stuff and then I ran downstairs for breakfast-cuz I was hungry. They were gone though when I got down and I was kinda disappointed that I hurried for nothing. Anyway, I chatted with my sister while I ate waffles. haha.

This week I'm going to the mall and I'm pretty excited. I love the mall-it's my favorite place. If housing was avaliable there, I'd wanna live at the mall. Not to shop all the time but just to be near stores and places to eat-I wouldn't have to worry about going out of my way for clothes and food b/c it'd be all there for me. LOL, kinda crazy I know. This is pretty long now so I should stop.

'Later!

VERY ashamed :(

Wed, 13 Dec 2006 01:42:27 GMT

Tonight made me so embarassed. No-beyond embarrassed. I wasn't sure whether to cry or whether to ignore it and go on. I wished I would've never gone to the after school event for pictures. I went to go out and support my friend and after the concert I met her mom who knew NO english. She only knew Spanish and I thought, "I'm in so much trouble-I don't know any Spanish." My legs trembled and I hesitated. My friend motioned for me and I followed anyway. I didn't even pronounce "hello" in Spanish right. My cheeks burned so red that I think they could've been brighter than a flame of fire. Then her mom gave me a compliment. I struggled on even pronouncing the words "thank you" in Spanish and my friend told me her mom would understand if I said thank you. So I did and then I told my friend I had to go b/c my mom was on my way-which was the truth. Outside I leaned against the wall, with the hood of my jacket over my head. I felt so ashamed of myself then and wondered, "How can I ever show my face again to my friend? What if she thinks it's funny that I can't speak Spanish? What if she makes fun of how red my face got?" A million other questions went through my head and I wanted to cry because I had never felt so ashamed in my life. I'm Mexican...and I'm one of those who can't speak Spanish correctly-not that I know much words in Spanish anyway. I hung my head low and messed with my cell phone as I let the cold wind chill my cheeks pale. That's what the wind does to my cheeks-it makes them go cold and pale. It usually bothers me-but tonight I wanted to hide in the darkness and have my cheeks stop burning red. I was blushing so bright that I felt sweat coming down.

Here, at home I'm in my room with the door closed. I feel a pain growing in my stomach. Like something is twisting inside. I hope my friend takes some mercy on me--cuz I dunno if she knew that I didn't know any Spanish. I wish I could be sick tomorrow--or at least get sick during the class we have together. Maybe I'll go write in my journal to vent and cool off. Maybe tomorrow won't be so bad if I just accept that yeah, I'm mexican and yeah, I don't any Spanish-but it's no big deal cuz at least I tried to speak a few words...even if I was trippin' 'n' messin' up on what I was trying to say.

I'm Back!!

Sun, 03 Dec 2006 03:00:41 GMT

It's been a month since I updated-or a little over. I can't figure it out cuz my brain kinda goes blank at night. I can't wait till Christmas-it's my fav. holiday!! Even though there's really no snow here, it still gets cold. But usually the coldness doesn't bother me till I wake up freezing from the weather and having the fan on. I'm so crazy, did you know that just a few weeks ago I stopped wearing my summer pajamas? (My summer pajamas usually consist of a thin spaghetti strap or wifebeater with shorts.) As for the fan thing, I have the fan on right now--but it doesn't stay on for a long time.

Anyway, I decided to start making my Christmas list, since it's just so crazy at the malls 'n' stuff during the holiday season. I decided to post my Christmas list here first-just so I could feel as if I had somethin worth updating, I guess. Anyway here's the list:

A ring with a big jewel or rock of some sort. (Even if it isn't real.) Kinda like the one that Drew Sidora has in this pic. Click here to see.
A DVD or DVD set of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.
A DVD of a silent movie.
Make up set (I don't care if it's not the biggest brand-make up is make up.) Click here to see a pic of what I'm saying.
Corrine Bailey Rae cd
"Don't Wait"-Adie Camp cd
earrings
a new journal
a new bag

And probably anything else that's sorta vinatge and girly.

Anyway, I'm starting to read books on writing since I'm finishing up the novel that I'm writing, so I can start on the sequel. I'm kinda rusty in some sort of a way. I always end up rambling somethin and when I'm reading it later, it's really boring. So I found a book on my dresser (under a BUNCH of stuff since my room is soo messy-somethin I need to do before Christmas: clean up my room!) and decided to read it. I never finished it, but hopefully I will this time and will be able to kinda get back in that state of mind where I can actually remember how to make my writing exciting and stuff. This weekend I have to finish up my essay for English-which I may re-write if I've got the time. I wrote sorta big and you can only use a page (front and back) and that's not a whole lot of room if you don't write small. So, I've got some writing work to do ahead of me.

Well, just wanted to update. 'Hope everybody is enjoying their weekend.

Forever Since I last Updated!!!

Wed, 01 Nov 2006 02:41:32 GMT

Wow, it's been a LONG time since I last updated! Well, I got a new layout, I wanted to get one that was related to fall but I couldn't find any that I really really really liked. Anyway, lemme think of what's been happening lately. Hmmm.......well, I'm on Week 6 of having my ears piereced and for those who don't know/forgot when you get to week 6 that's your last week of having the earrings in-then you can take 'em out and put in a pair of your choice. I'm pretty excited about that...but I don't think I'll keep take 'em out after week 6. I've kinda forgotten to do my ears sometimes and w/ those days I missed on putting that cold liquid on my ears, I just don't think I'm ready (or should allow myself) to take out the earrings. I'll probably wait another week. Gosh, it's been hard to remember to put that stuff on. After all of the reminders my mom gives me and the reminders I give myself-I never fail to forget. I end up doing it at night only...which is once and you're supposed to do it like what...3 times a day. Heh....oops. It's k tho, because I'm buckling down and am telling myself, "DON'T FORGET TO DO YOUR EARS BEFORE SCHOOL AND AFTER SCHOOL!!!" And then of course I remember before I go to bed.

It's also Halloween tonight too. I didn't spend my Halloween at parties or anything like that. 1. It's a school night and I hate it when you're limited to doing something because you gotta get up early in the morning. 2. I wasn't aware of any parties either. 3. Well I just didnt wanna leave my house. I got me 2 books at the book fair though. That was cool..I guess. LOL. But I did eat candy-at school me and my friend were eating War Heads in the hallway. It was funny watching each other's faces react to the sourness of the candy. I wasn't in the Halloween mood this year really. I didn't have a costume--and kinda didnt want one either, you know? And I had homework and stuff..so yeah. It's so weird because nobody has rang my doorbell or knocked on the door for candy. It's strange and ironic but I'm actually pretty happy cuz we don't have any candy. lol. Well wait-we do, it's Snickers and I hate Snickers and then I got 2 pieces of candy w/ nuts and I hate candy with nuts. So I could give away the nasty candies I hate...haha!

Well it's late, 9:34 to be exact and I better go to bed now. Just a few minutes ago I was on the couch watching cartoons (lol..) cuz there was nothing else to watch and I could feel my eyelids dropping, so I came up to rest then I wanted to update. But now it's time I get ready for bed now. I'll update again later-maybe this weekend, 'not sure. But it won't be as long as the wait for this one.

3 Day Weekend-YAY!!!!!

Fri, 06 Oct 2006 20:37:53 GMT

I am sooo excited that the weekend is finally here. I wanted the day to go by sooo fast. I get to go to the mall or to the new JCPenny department store since I have get my allowence this weekend. I also gotta go do some science fair homework at the mall too. See, my thing is wonderin' if the size of a chocolate chip cookie affect the number of chips in them. 'n' maybe it's a dumb thing to wonder about but I wasn't gonna do one with music like I did last year. That one was sooo hard!!! Anyway, I need to talk to the people at the cookie place at the mall to see how many chips they put in their cookies. Plus...it'd give my Mom a good reason to say that I can go to the mall, after all this is for a school project anyway. I'll just happen to be shopping at the same time too. lol.

So the weekend looks pretty good so far. Anyway, I'll update again soon. 'Just wanted to say how

HAPPY I AM ABOUT THE WEEKEND!!!

lol...

have a good weekend everybody!

Sun, 01 Oct 2006 02:37:52 GMT

I changed my layout and when I signed into Xanga I saw a banner of Vanessa Hudgens on it. Soooo...I guess she must be pretty popular. I haven't bought her album yet, I'm still debating on whether I should or not. I'm kinda broke anyway.... I've just been listening to a song or two of her's from YouTube.

Anyway, so far my week has been good. I was behind on e-mails and had to get back to some tonight. Now I gotta work on getting 2 thank you cards out, well 3 actually. I kinda like keepin' myself busy like this, it makes me stop from saying, "I'm bored." (Which is something I always say when I'm just sitting around.)

OMG, did you know that the little radio toy of Open Season from Burger King REALLY picks up REAL radio stations? I mean I think it does anyway. This afternoon I was listening to it in the car and I was actually listening to a real radio station. I was like, "Oh my gosh!!! Is this toy for real?" I thought it was just recordings, you know? But it's real alright. I know it's kinda weird for me to be "obessessing" over a toy from a kids' meal but still...I've NEVER had a toy like that in my kids meal. lol, so yeah, 'just wanted to say that.

I took a quiz (well a lot really) on the phone last night with my friend. I was most like my fav. actress ever-Brenda Song. I was all excited. lol.

Well, it's been awhile since I've blogged and I just wanted to update and let you know what's going on, so yeah. I'll write back again this week-I promise.

Later!

Rachel
