Red Cups

i havent been home much lately thanks to these guys.

Amanda Palmer Post

aAmanda Palmer is not a mime. Halloween 2005, I was not a fucking mime! I was Amanda Palmer! Dresden Dolls. Someone IM-ed me earlier this week reminded me how not a lot of people understood me in Belleville High. I dressed funny and made cynical jokes all the time. Wack.

No Sleep Til Hackensack

My mom got hurt at work on Sunday night. By Monday morning, she had perks and oxy in her system and still felt pain. She drove to my school completely stoned so I can drive her to Hackensack. It made sense to her.

We spent 3pm-1:30am in the Emergency Room. Once they infected some painkillers in her, she was fine. We met a dude with kidney stones and cute kids. I hung out with some high school friends who just happened to be in the same ER as my mom and I. Carol and Maria Tapia in the same mo'fuckin ER. Crazy high school reunion, huh?

Turned out my mom strained her back muscles hardcore and has the kidney stone almost the size of an M & M mini. That's huge. She was finally given a room upstairs by 2AM. I stayed with her the whole time with only half a cup of plain hot oatmeal in my tummy. I was too worried to get my ass a sandwich. I didn't leave my Mamadukes for a sec.

Besides, no one wants/can to help nowadays. David yelled at her to walk to get her prescriptions even though she couldn't stand. Poor woman actually made it to the pharmacy and back. There was a whole debacle with the cars also that resulted in me driving David's car to Belleville and needing a ride back to Hackensack. Thank God for my twinny, Myriam and her father. Those two are lifesavers. Expect a huge token of appreciation, bbygrl. I love you.

Once I got back to Hackensack, I picked up my mom's abandoned car in the CVS parking lot and jetted back to the emergency room. She was sleeping by the time I got back. I did all this in less than an hour during rush hour. Yes, I'm that good. :-)

I called my dad to tell him what was up. I told him about this guy we met with kidney stones who looks like a cook (because of the white shirt and checkers pants.) It turned out it was my dad's co-worker at the Coach House! Crazy! He asked to use my dad's cell to call an ambulance. What a coincidence, right? So, it was two classmates and my dad's co-worker all in one tiny section of the ER. Ca-razy.


I left at around 2:30am so I can go home, take a nap and get a bunch of supplies for an overnight stay. Boy oh boy, what a Monday!

Happiness

I'm still floored.

Zach's Amazing Party

I just came back from what probably was the best way to start off a summer of quality parties. I'l start from the beginning in case anyone was to drunk to remember. :-)

The night starts off with me being stuck in stand-still traffic for an hour on Route 3. I jetted to Danni's and later, to the bus stop to pick up my Wikitona. From there, we headed to Starbucks to get our "drank" on and well, I've been craving a Cafe Americano for the past week. Dan called Tasha and thanks to my favorite Montclair-ian, we got our shitz for free. Derek was supposed to be workin' but betch wasn't there so I didn't get to see my favorite Sniffside whiteboy. But, someone was there that I had a little jumble with the night before so I 86'd it out of there faster than your mom. I jumped in my car with the girls and headed to Zach's. Well, to our surprise, Wonsahm and Zach were walkin on River so I picked 'em up and turned around to get supplies at PathMark. I called my DaddyDukes and headed to his house for a quick sec, because I missed my daddy and wanted to see him for pre-Papi's day.

So, this is where the fun begins. I drive back towards Zach's, right? We meet him in the garage and headed up to where I thought was his apartment. When we walked it, WHAM!...empty apartment. There was everyone from North Bergen. Well, not everyone but everyone that mattered in high school. (lol.)

I'm not gonna say EVERYTHING that went on after we walked in except:

• Bora has the more WONDERFUL photographs in her camera.


• I smell like Zach's spit, sweat and cologne.


• Screwdriver's save lives.


• I SUCK at flipcup. (virgin orange juice fo' lyfe)


• Designated Vany saves lives.


• Drunk Italian girls can pry open anything.


• Drunk Chileans are hot.


• Rick "wasn't there."


• Two newly renovated and empty apartments in the Edgewater are completely fucked up thanks to us.


• What the fuck is a Bahama Mama?


• Capoeira is hot.


• Flexible dudes are hot.


• Ana rules.


• When I doubt, put it in a big white bag and throw it somewhere totally suspicious.


• Repeat, Rick "was NOT there."

Now I'm home with a big goofy smile on my face without a drop of anything in my system. But I did drink enough orange juice to provide me with enough Vitamin C to prevent the cold for the next 3 years.

I can't wait til Bora uploads those "floored" pictures.

Thank for you the invite, Zachy. Tayto and Burrito 4 Ever.<3

Lazer Glare!

I knew there was a reason I was being a bloated, pimply, snippity little bitch all week. Hormones! So, apologies to all who have stood in my warpath. Its was blood for blood. (pun intended).

I've been watching way too much E! and Food Network. I've been on an awesome culinary stint while pretty much knowing what Nicole Richie is wearing day to day. All this while I'm supposed to be revising my paper on Cheating and Eating Disorders.

Anyone up for some Pollo a la Brasa con Pico De Gallo, Arroz con Gandules, fresh Sangria and entertainment is welcome to invite me over to their house and gimme $10 to prepare it for you. :-)

GTA: Garret Mountain

Someone's car got jacked from the campus parking lot this morning. Now, who in their right mind would leave their keys in the ignition? I don't care if all you have to do I a quick run to drop a portolio in a mailbox, leaving your keys is a stupid idea.

I guess people forget that we're in Paterson when you're in my campus. All the trees and galloping deer make you forget that the hoods a few blocks away would like your sweet wheels. I've seen people leave their windows wide open when it's mad hot out and that's dumb enough....but the keys?! Brotha man, sorry to say but...you totally asked for it.

The White Stripes USB drive

it only holds 512 but omg i want one. Either one, too! Meg or Jack. 60 bucks for a USB what won't even hold my Oral Communication presentations?!......i'm in.

Few Days Later, You're Still a Ho

So this girl pretty much has the most amazing body I've ever seen. She's got hips, boobs, and a waistline. Ugh. Love.

Why do people have such a beef with Diet ____ drinks? Diet Dr. Pepper tastes the same as regular. Diet Coke doesn't make me tear up from all the bubbles going up to my eyes. So, what's the dealio? Why does my school only carry regular Monster and not Sugar-Free Monster? Why am i bitching about this? I dunno!

i have black hair dye on right now. Its kinda tingly and minty. If you HAVE to use over-the-counter hair dye, use 100% Color by Garnier. This shit lasts through anything, including washing your hair with dish detergent. (only way to remove Spiker, pretty much.)

I'm saving up for hair tracks to get back my long locks. Fer real, short, bright and bubbly was not my thing. The blonde sucked and the shortness is really hard to work with and god only knows how much I hate wearing my hair up. (ponytails = lazy)

I have yet to finish my financial aid.



Okay, so I made this post just to post that picture of the girl. She's gorge.

Whoa, It Was Never My Intention to Brag

this song is such a nasty bitch slap, its not even funny.
the italics are the parts that are pretty much QUEMADA! (spanish word for BURN!)
or as I say "OWNED!"
whatever. Its about time I posted this song anyway.
Hayley Williams FTW.





I'm in the business of misery
Let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass that's tickin' like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out...
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth

I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I can't lie he was the only one for me
Two weeks and we had caught on fire
She's got it out for me
But I wear the biggest smile

Whoa... I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa... it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But, God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause, God, it just feels so...
It just feels so good

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse I ReFuSe I REFUSE!!!

Whoa... I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa... it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But, God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause, God, it just feels so...
It just feels so good

It just feels sooooooooooooooo
it just feels so good...

I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving.........

Whoa, I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now...

Whoa... I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa... it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But, God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause, God, it just feels so...
It just feels so good

Salga Con Patines!

Man, I love America. You can talk your way out of anything. I managed to get my tuition paid for the rest of the year. Mm-hmm. So my ass is staying in New Jersey for the time being. As of lately, I wouldn't mind moving to California. I mean...with the guarentee of coming back eventually. Haha. San Fernando Valley is great ... in small doses.

San Fernando is spanish. But I mean fucking Mexicano spanish. There's barely and Cubanos, Boriquas y Dominicanos around there. Its mostly real Mexicano. Now, this could be a huge culture shock for me since...I only know one mexican, Maribel. And Maribel is far from the California Chicano. She's Jersey. I dunno how to explain it. I think I'd be funny to see cholas and bros walking around. I'd be the palest girl in my university, I can say that. Long Beach University and East LA College is full of dark skinned kids. How do I know? My cousin sent me a video of his Associates grad. and dude...I'm an albino compared to my cousin.

Now, I'm listening to nothing but Elvis Crespo and cleaning my room. Tomorrow I'm going to the free Startling Line show / skate demo at Willowbrook with the Danwich. Its about fucking time I see her. Jinkies!

Actually, a hell of a lot of people have been coming out of the woodwork lately. Probably because its so nice out. People tend to be more "HAY!!!! LET'S CHILL!!!" when the thermometer reads above 60.

Should I Stay? or Go-Go?

The next two weeks are going to determine whether I WANT to stay in Jersey or not. My financial aid is completely fucked up and now I can't really afford to keep going to school...especially if I end up here all by myself.

I'm looking into East LA College and Long Beach University. Maybe it won't be so bad. I could get my Bachelors over there and eventually, come back. Pretty much everyone who leaves Jersey comes back, you know.

I was in the city all day yesterday. Its undeniable that I am an East Coast Kid to the core. My aunt Loly, straight outta Cali, was bugging out at how fast paced the east coast is. She kept asking me, "What do you do to relax?" Me? I sleep. I walk around. I ride a bike. I watch a movie. I stroll down the piers in Hoboken and Edgewater. But she still thinks its stressful because they all happen in the city. She thinks California life could help me out. We talked and talked and I eventually saw her point. I mean, I love my fast paced, "all is money and power" life, but I'd like to check out what its like to go to school in a chill environment. You never know.

Word to the Wise: Do NOT fuck up your credit. Unfortunately, credit = life. I can't get any loans because I don't have a credit history and my mom's is kinda shitty.

The Anti-Starvation Celebration
This is like...a whole different subject but I don't feel like making two posts about it. So, I pretty much starved myself to look nice for the trip to the beach that never happened. Lost 5 pounds but I got sick. How fucking stupid was I? Wowee. Starving. Whatever. I started eating again and for some reason, the 5 pounds haven't been back. I've just been serving myself very little portions but making sure I eat when I'm hungry so I don't pig the fuck out when I get home. mm-hmm! I'm making sure that I take stuff to munch on from home rather than buying the fucking expensive food on campus.

I have a feeling I'm gonna get a lot of shit for thinking that moving to California might be a good idea.

Okay the Posi-Hormone Just kicked In

DORMING! I am seriously considering taking out a GIGANTIC loan and dorming at Berkeley. Why not? I could work at the Berkeley daycare center (aka perfect because I love the childrenz) and I have the good ol' blogger for chump change. I can definitely do this!

Circumstances of the Suck

So, here are my options:

1. live with Wikit and eventually drop out
2. drop out and start saving up to live on my own
3. take out a loan and rot at Berkeley College
4. change my Bachelors to an Associates and get my Bach. in California
5. Drop Berkeley now and start over in California

The bills are starting to catch up. The television service was cut today. It was okay. I don't watch much TV anyways.

Tomorrow, I'm heading to student services and begging for a full-time weekend job. Man...and I just took 17 credits for the summer. Fuck.

Nowadays Everybody Wanna Talk...

like they got something to say but nothing comes out when they move their lips. Just a bunch of gibberish.



young Ricky Martin kinda reminds me of Shelley Levi a little bit.
no?

Gorgeous at Disney Couture Show

Im bbys but I think Nicole Richie is fucking GORGEOUS here!!!
omg.

Dr. Dog cover of "Heart It Races"

Thanks, Stereogum for this ( Boom da da da da da da Boom da da! Da da!) A little gem that will surely be part of my Summer 2007 soundtrack. I love it! I already uploaded it up to my MP3 player! In a few, I'ma put on some socks (omg vany wearing SOCKS?!) and sneaks and go riding around Belleville. :-)

Its Friday and that only means one thing. Its the weekend and I cannot WAIT for a Seaside Adventure part two...hopefully.

I suggest you listen to the cover though. Its great. Dr. Dog FTW
