Dear World The Cookie Jar Broke...

He-Yo
I know it's been a while.
But at least I am still here.

Work is actually fun here at the college.
So are my two classes.
Okay only one class is fun, the other is boring.
(It's Algebra)

I know I could have graduated a while back,
but not everything is that easy.
Math--in whatever form it decided to show its
ugly face in--has never been my friend.
We've had some mild flirting but nothing really serious.
Blame it on the liquor. (J/k)

Anyways, if anything ever went according to plan..
we'd be pretty boring.

So.
I am writing a new story.
Yes, I will be posting the other.
No, I'm not posting the new one.
At least, not yet.

So, nobody warned me how crappy the parking is here.
I mean seriously, after all the money the college spent
repainting the stupid lines and redesigning a whole new parking lot..
you would think they would cater to the students. Give us
the closer parking spots.

I'm currently parked all the way out
at building 1. While I work in building 5.
Seriously, Valencia, fix this.
I know its a great work out..
but damn.

Anyways,
I must get back to work.
And then algebra class. -_-
Maybe I'll be able to post later.

Dear World Of Veterans Past...

He-Yo.
Today I honor the heroes.
The past, present and future.

In WWI The total number of deaths includes:

9.7 million military personnel and about 6.8 million civilians.

In WWII The total number of deaths:Over 60 million people were killed.

In the Iraq War: As of May 28, 2010 there were 4,404 dead
and 31,827 wounded in action (WIA).

My Papa, fought in World War II.
More specifically, he fought in Pearl Harbor.

His ship was the USS Bataan.

He's was awarded several medals.
One of them being the Purple Heart.
My Papa, didn't like discussing the war.
He was a very secluded person when it came to that.
I guess the war was far too much for him to recount to others.

However, when I was a kid, I remember one day
me and Papa were standing near the pool at his old house whenI got up the courage to ask him about the war.
He only told me that he had been shot several times
and in turn awarded the Purple Heart.

He got rid of all things war.
His medals.
His uniform.
His papers.
I guess it hurt too much.

Today is about remembering him.
Remembering his sacrifice.
His life.

Remembering him.
For who he was.
A veteran.
A hero.
My hero.

I miss you, Papa.
And I think about you everyday.


And for all the other veterans who served.
I thank you.

Dear World I Don't Know If You've Heard..

He-Yo.

I hope dear world..

that you are still listening.

Life has been good.

I've traveled through space and time and ended up

in San Francisco.

It was amazing I promise.

The photos are timeless and the memories are sweet.

I'm sorry I've been MIA.

But sometimes life is just too much fun to

possibly think of words to describe it.

I got a job as a work-study in the Answer Center.

The people are nice, yet total dorks. :)

So I started a diet.

I hope it works.

I gotta be able to have that beach bod everyone is always talking about.

Flaunt it if you've got it. Right?

Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki both got married.

Congrats!

Too bad Jensen didn't marry me.

I'm writing a new story :)

It's going to be ginormous and epicly awesome.

I promise.

Fat Louie didn't get to come with me to San Fran, I kinda lost him.

But it's okay cause I found him a couple days after I got back!

Dunno where he's been but he feels better now that he's back.

is it me or does Eminem make you wanna bust a move?

Cha. Bust. A. Move.

So GSA is now trying to get a chance this coming year to go to New York.

And one of my GSA members said their going to run against me

when I try to run for re-election.

Honestly, I love being President.

I'm good at it. I'm REALLY good at it.

Pray for me.

Liz asked if i would house sit and dog sit her place while her and

Marilyn go out of town for two weeks.

TWO WEEKS.

I'm excited, and I would love to do it.

First: Approval from the parental units. AKA Mommy and Dad.

Second: License.

Third: Insurance.

No problem.

I'm getting my license tomorrow.

I can pay dad $120 for two months of insurance.

Apparently I only cost $60 bucks a month extra for insurance.

Awesome right?

And today I get paid.

I love getting paid.

I love working here.

I don't think Eudenice (a girl I work with

Whos also a work-study) likes me.

I think she kinda hates me.

And if she does like me

then she has an odd way of showing it.

Katie and Amal like me. :)

They talk to me without attitude or stink eyes or

snap-happy remarks.

Anyways, off that topic onto a new one.

I'm not really hungry right now. Which is weird.

I guess its the pills kicking in.

I'll eat in about an hour. Maybe I'll be hungry then.

I'll post pictures of everything I've got next time.

Anyways, think I'll just go back to writing my story.

Talk to you later next time world.

Dear World Your Marshmellows Are Burning...

He-Yo!

So yesterday while eating din-din I bit my tongue.
And not the, "Ouch I just bit my tongue."
More like the, "Holy crap I bit my tongue and its bleeding
and I think some skins missing."

Which is what happened.

So tonight we had Ni Hao for dinner.
(Thats Chinese food)

So heres some photos I've been promising.
I hope you enjoy.

The mug I made for dad.
And yes, it does say, " Brew For Balding Men."
Mug I made for mom.
And cha, it totally says, "Ellie Queen Bitch"
Tea set I made for mom. Japanese inspired.
It says "Peace"
The quartet of monsters.
I made them up in my head.
The baby monster.
I made this one for a professor who took ceramics with me.
Her name is Cathy, she teaches math, and shes awesome.

Isn't it adorable?
Looks like its singing don't it?
"La lala La LAAAAAA"

Dear World of Christmas Koozies and New Years Fabrics...

He-Yo

Whats up guys? How was your Christmas break?
Mine was awesome. So.. finals...
I failed one class.
It was either fail Essentials or pass Math
I chose Pre-Algebra.
I passed Design with an A.
Ceramics with a B.
Pre-Algebra with a C.
And of course failed Essentials with an F.
So that means I'm on my term 1 probation.
(Which means I have to raise my GPA, it went below 2.0 its like 1.97 right now lol)
So I have to fix it during spring semester which is fine. Ill do my best.

Besides that Christmas rocked. (aside from a few arguments)
I made mom and dad their very own mugs.
Made mom a Tea Set. Its an aqua kind of blue (New Blue)
with wax resist to spell out 'peace' in Japanese.
She loved it.
I also got her a book called Evidence of Angels.
She didn't stop reading it til she was done.

I got dad a book on Bobby Bowden on how he built
a football dynasty. He has yet to read it but says all it
needs is Bobby's autograph.

Dad got mom a bunch of felting tools, wool and molds
to start herself on some new project.

Mom got dad Bubba J from Jeff Dunham :)
He wouldn't stop squeezing the poor doll just to hear it talk.

Mom and dad got me a Supernatural necklace. Its got the
guys photo on it. (Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles)
The 67 Chevy Impala they drive and a pentagram for protection.
They also got me season 1 & 2 of Supernatural.
And a desk Easel for me to use for my art work.

Awesome right? Cha. I know it is.

So did I tell you the good news?
I ran for Vice President of GSA
I was nominated President
And won.

So I am now the President of GSA
(Gay-Straight Alliance)

Oh and Sammie is totally gonna move in with me.
Send her graphics work to Hollywood. Get all
Rich n Famous and have Jared Padalecki in her bed by tea time.
Freaking, genius plan, right?
Course it is, I thought it up.

So.. did I miss anything?
Leave anything out?
Hmm.

Oh I was accepted for the Work-Study program at Valencia.
Which means I work, get good grades and get paid for it =P I know I rule.


As for my new years resolution:
Lose 50-100 pounds.


So I hope every enjoyed their Christmas festivities.
Happy New Years everyone :)

Dear World Let Me Fill You In...

He-Yo.
So let me fill you in on whats been going on.

(Yes I should be in bed.)

Alright, so, I belong to this club called GSA.
Gay-Straight Alliance
I love it. Its where I met all my incredible friends.
Yes there are straight people in our club.
Their all really awesome.

Newho.
Two weeks ago we organized an event for Trans-gender Remembrance Day.
It turned out really great 25 people showed up all together. Granted some couldn't stay for the entire event but that's okay. We had food and drinks and even watched two movies based on real life stories. One was called:
Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story
and the other was:
Boys Don't Cry

In the end we had a candle light vigil. Which was very beautiful by the way.

Right now I'm doing okay in Pre-Algebra and Essentials. I need to pass both with a C or higher. Pray for me.

Ceramics and Design class however couldn't be going more great. I love them.
These classes are all so great it makes me all happy inside just talking about them.

Thanksgiving was fulfilling as always. Loved it. It was my first official mom says cause I cooked for it. Mom and dad helped of course. Perfect little elves that they are =D

So in two weeks I'll be taking a bunch of finals and I couldn't be anymore nervous than I am right now just thinking about it.

Newho I should really get to bed. Gotta be up at 8am. Class at 10am.
Sweet Dreams. Happy Holidays!
