i wrote this emotional and depressing entry. it was good considering my recent entries. woohu chose to freaking screw up so i lost it. now i just feel like sitting in a corner and crying. i wanna run and hide from it all... my mind is playing tricks on me. i feel all those negative feelings from school again. damn it. this isn't right. i miss. sigh. song lyrics.

my mom is watching the sharon osbourne show right now. that guy is on it the my dad lived close to when he was growing up. one of the baldwin boys.

so last day of break, what are you doing? i've been relaxing, taking all of the day in by even waking up at 9:30. my grandma told me to make the most of school. i should listen to her since she has been on this planet a lot longer than i have and she is one of the most intelligent people i know. anyways, i took my mom, grandma, and cousin on a little excursion today. my mom wanted to show my grandma all the new stuff around our house, so i just kept driving. fun fun. i think my grandma was a little shocked by my driving... maybe she'll let me drive her car to north carolina this summer.

last night was fun. went to the cousin's house and chilled with the fam con tina. we did some modeling and then played around in our under 20 group. wore sunglasses the whole night. i looked like... i was trying to hide something. good times. i love that house. we are gonna kick the parents out one day and move in.

hope you all are making the most of your last day. see ya'll tomorrow. love.

sigh
i cant believe there's only 2 days left. its downright depressing . i had such an amazing break. i think its been the best one yet. <3
i saw peter pan today. my my he is a cutie. but not as cute as my cutie ;) .. that i am missing like crazy right now. i wanted to see him tomorrow.. but i guess i should have checked with him before 10 tonight.. :-/ . im very relieved with where we've gotten. i walked into this not really expecting things to change much from what they were before.. but they did in so many ways. im so.. happy. i didnt expect for it to be as good as it is. i expected the fighting to come back.. but its been a month or so.. and there has not even been so much as a quarrel over the stuff we used to fight about. i'm loving it. im just trying not to get my hopes up & jinx this.. so im just .. hangin :) . he's back to that place where he just brights up my dark spots. like today. my father is such an asshole. i always hated how he would talk shit about my brother to me back in the years when they always fought. and today i heard him talking like that about me to my mom. no, not talking. yelling. yes. yelling. ive lost all my respect for him. now he's strictly the father , a shitty one at that. he curses us off, but then its not okay for us to do it to him, and he doesnt seem to think him doing it influences us. and he has the shortest temper. he seems to think he's king of the house as well. well... psh. the silent treatment is now in effect.

tomorrow would have been my grandpa's birthday. and saturday makes 2 years. :-/

i just ate an entire bag of baked lays. bar-b-q.
sigh. the face stuffing of vacation will be over in a few short days.

this year is going to be great.
happy new year to everyone.

i have this feeling this year that things are going to turn out alright. new year=new start. danielle is going to stop being so that way and actually be outgoing when it comes to some things that i'm not at already. i'm also going to be more friendly. maybe the lonliness will go away. if not my club is coming into effect, lonely hearts of the IB program.

last night was a fun night. thanks to everyone who contributed. good dancing, food, and talk, what more could anyone ask for? late night conversations i think were funny. of course i have a problem remembering exactly what we talked about. i think me and christina scared kat and liz with our innocent spooning. i don't think that sounds too good. hehe. oh well. the little kids tried raping me last night too, so not cool. but funny. the little boy just lifting up the back of my dress. i think little asian boys have a thing for me. today was nice. i was so tired though. shopping and then food. i should stop eating. i've eaten so much on this freaken break.

only a few more days left of this break. have fun.

love ya.

add in: i want peter pan to come to my window and take me to neverland with him.

Lovely pictures. Everyone make faces! New years rang. Whoossssh streamers! The guys left around 1:30. Us gurls talked till like 3:30. It was really nice spending time with xtina and danielle- she cracks me up! The morning was spent sleeping then eating then leaving :( thanks for a really nice night xtina!

today...came home. christine came over for a tid. we played scrabble...then spanish scrabble. haha. katherine came over...for like a sec. they both left. then i had a lobster dinner- yay!

7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? certain moments with danielle. certain moments with everyone. the worst days of my life at the end of freshman year. my never ending sixteenth birthday celebration. concerts- christina aguilera, justin timberlake, something corporate, jason mraz, tristan prettyman, and relient k are definitely the best (in no special order). my one year anniversary with danielle. and so many other heart warming and stomach wrenching moments.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? making the memories
9. What was your biggest failure? i don't know if i can say.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? no not really. minor pains.
11. What was the best thing you got? the friends. the love.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? man, must i list everyone? i'll list some. and if i don't list you, don't hate me. danielle for being my strength and my love. altan for making me feel like a queen. luan for being the first to want me. rich for being an angel and for making me appreciate what friendship can do. greta for easing my pain. valerie for cracking on people when i needed a laugh. edgar for being the romantic soul i needed to bond with.

38. Who was the best new person you met? well, the term "got to know well" is good. its a three way tie between ari, rich, and edgar.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003: life... just try to suck it up and get through it. in the end, it'll be okay. as long as you have people that care about you, you'll be ok. and when it's the darkest, just keep walking towards the light. you'll get there.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: never believed it could happen to me. something like this only happens to dumb girls taking themselves too seriously. i was so damn smart, i was the one girl. never believed it could happen to me. something like this only happens to somebody else.

thanks rich for the survey. definitely took up some good time. i'll paint for ya, just say the word. i'll take the whole day and go crazy! =D

damn, i frickin' am so angry cuz of her. i cant believe that she won't let me do it. all she has to do is come with me. grrr.

now... for the good stuff. jonah and i are getting married. lol JUSTTT jokin' unfortunately. but, he told me he loved me today... like the real thing. and my first question to myself... wuz am i going to say it... and if i do, will it be because he said it or because i feel it? and in fact it wuz because.... i felt it.... so i said it. i know i'm not one to say i know how love feels or wut love is... but... then again... WHO can say it? u know.. u just... KNOW. and if spending time on the phone til' the weeee hours in the morning w/ him, feeling s0o0o0o comfortable sharing my thoughts and things with him, being a goat, and spending every waking second i have thinking about him, or hoping that him and i end up as good as jessica and nick lachey...

well... right now... if... that isn't love for me... then... idk wut is. he makes me feel soooo wonderfully good about life... about me... about love... about him.... its just this feeling.

on the last note... anyone from woodlands remember michael nielson... yeah... he's cool, i started talkin to him again. missed my short buddi. but he grew... eh.

so many things to say. so little time to say em. are you gonna read it all?
man i got so much to remember... where do i start?

december 25th:
it's so hard to remember what happened on what day. on christmas, we went to the movies. who is we? my dad, my brother, my aunt and her two daughters, and my other cousin and his cousin. we saw cheaper by the dozen. that was so cute!! i loved it. we bought so much movie food, it wasnt even funny. we were like our own little version of cheaper by the dozen. we spent like $80! yeah. but it was good.

"i dont know your family!"
"YOU DO NOW!!!"

while we were doing that, my mom was preparing prime rib for our big family xmas dinner. when she came to pick us up, she was like "ok hurry up cuz i told grandpa not to touch my prime rib!". and of course, we get back home... and he definitely did something to it. we didn't know what, but we smelled some different spices in there than usual. heh. funny. then we headed over to one of my aunts house to eat our xmas dinner. all of my moms sisters (4), their families, and one of her brothers came with his family too. it was great. i love doing that big family dinner thing. interesting things went on. my mom told my aunts that "christina had a boyfriend... his name is altan." (which of course he isnt) then my aunts were like "OOOO... ALTAN!". then my mom told them about him. hah. funny stuff. it was a yummy yummy dinner. then after cleaning up, it was time for presents! i feel like my xmas has lasted forever because i keep getting more as the days go by. what did i have at that point? i hope i remember it all...

>>from school friends<<
STILL. <3 you danielle.
something corporate cd (lizzy!)
teddy bear (sweetest thing, bryan.)
cute manga and disney princesses calendar (<3 ari <3)
pink skirt made by the ACC (ashley)
heart bracelet + pink and black striped halter top (valerie knows.)
>>from family<<
evenstar necklace from lotr
dooney & bourke purse
new sunglasses (which i left in houston)
two shirts
$50

so then we sat around, ate some dessert and had some good quality family time. then we went home.

december 26th
*thinking*
so the day after christmas. my mom and my aunts went madd shopping. of course. during the day, we went to the mall and i went ice skating with my cousins. i hadn't ice skated in so long, but after awhile, it was ok. they played some nice music. "all i have" came on and i wanted danielle with me! so after that, i didnt get to shop much. oh well. then we all went back to my uncle's house. there, we waited. my youngest aunt tu, my mom, and i then took a little trip to the saks 5th outlet. we chose some things for my mom to buy for us the next day, when 6 am - 10 am they would have additional sales. so after that, we went back to my uncles house. we grew incredibly hungry. we were just waiting for my other aunt to call us for dinner. my other aunt had some visitors, her old best friend from georgia. we met my aunts best friend like two years ago in atlanta. that was when we first met em. they have two kids, same age as me and my brother. so before dinner, my mom was telling my aunts how the son was "pretty cute" and was a "womanizer". then my aunts were like looking at me. it was funny. so we eventually went to dinner to meet my other aunt and her best friend. after greetings, the son of my aunts best friend sits next to me. it was soooo funny, cuz my aunt tu was like looking at me, smiling, and winking. haha. but i lost my seat and ended up sitting next to his sister. i talked mostly with them. they were funny. their names were stephanie and matthew. matthew was irritatingly charming. i'll never forget him looking at me and going "wanna come over later and play?" then doing his dorky smile and eyebrow raise. cute dork. later on for dessert, we ate beignets at a little french bakery. the car ride there was like the funnest car ride EVER. my mom and my aunt tu were rocking out to hey ya and then 80s music. it was GREAT. oh and we followed the wrong car. lol. at the place, matthew sat next to me then too. it was kinda odd. he's so outgoing. but i liked him. all throughout the night, my aunts tu and tiffany were like "christiiiiina.... remember altan!". lol

december 27th:
so i woke up and my mom had already gotten done shopping and getting her hair done. she must have been in a truly good mood. she got me my pink chandelier earrings from saks and ... she handed me this bag. i was like ooooook. and she's like open it! and i looked in the bag. and guess what this woman bought me!! no just guess. well i'll tell you. she got me this rectangular pink louis vuitton purse. i was like OMG and i freaked out. she wouldnt tell me how much she got it for though. i doubt it real, but still! it's really close to being real.

now from then on, the day was kinda crappy cuz everything went wrong. we went to eat at chilis and they made us wait for an hour because our party was so big. that was a lesson learned. then after that, we met up with my aunt and her best friend again. the kids and i (along with matthew) went to go bowling. well the bowling waiting list was two hours long. so we went to laserzone. that was quite fun. but it only lasted for like 45 minutes. at one point, matthew was holding me hostage in a corner and using me as a human shield. yes, fun. THEN we went to eat ice cream to kill time. then we went to the park for 10 minutes. but ya know, as soon as i get accustomed to having matthew around, he has to leave. so i took his phone and put my number in it without him knowing. doubt he'll ever call me. doubt we'll ever see each other again. after his family left, i was just missing his annoying eagerness to get to know me. sigh. then we went to this place that had games, movies, bowling, a skate park, and all this stuff. well it was really confusing. bowling had a waiting list, so i left and went to the movies by myself. i couldnt go to the one my mom and aunt tu were already in so i had to go see mona lisa smile all by myself. it was quite lonely. in the twenty before the movie, they played that hootie and the blowfish song "goodbye girl" and i felt... so alone. but the movie was good, i liked it. it was really the perfect chick flick for me. but then when i got out.... i found out my family was pissed at me for going off alone and not telling them what i was seeing and when i'd be out. but they got over it. apparently, my mom was really pissed, but she was just silent when i got in the car. we went to eat sushi where i once again, felt alone. i mean, i was with my family, but the place was such a date place. it was candlelit and played love songs. they played india arie's "ready for love" which is like one of my major songs recently... and i was just like ... sigh.

december 28th:
i got home... sigh. i opened more gifts! yeah i love christmas. i think there's still more to come because i haven't gotten the #1 thing on my list, my electric guitar. here's more stuff i got:

another pair of chandelier earrings
shirt and jeans
pink hat (sounds lame, but it makes me think of like... me being a solo spino)
khaki guess pants
disney princesses cd
precious memories calendar
and my mom bought me the STILL lotion thinking that danielle only bought me the spray, but she's gonna go return it now.

yeah... i think that's all i have to say now.
i hope i get to see luan soon.
