Last night was fun...tonight may be even more fun! wheeee!

I've been watching Michael Moore's Bowling For Columbine....it's absolutely brilliant, in my opinion..it's so funny and it talks about this country and our obsession with guns and violence...and our obsession with fear. how this country is so scared of everything going wrong...and it never happens. And how prejudiced we are--and wow...I think maybe I'm starting to realize what's wrong with America--and no, not on a war status, on us as a culture and society. I strongly reccomend you guys to watch it! It's great.

I sent in my $2 yipeeeee.

wow, I thought there'd be more to say.

Oh. My. God. I love this warmth...I love the buds on the trees. It's beautiful...ahhh Spring!!!

Ciao Bellisimas~

Easter Funday! (haha)
Easter was nice and cute, i guess...played with some small children and ate...not too brutal.

LMAO im watching this jessica simpson variety show thing and she is totally spazzing out singing hahahahahahahaha FREAK....

sad i have to leave :( oh so sad :( but still it's okay--like my uncle said, when we fucked up the boat yesterday and were all pissed: "if your biggest problem right now is about a boat's engine, then you're pretty damn lucky" holler at that--it's all about putting things in perspective...

YES the yankees won! and YES im going to the red sox vs. yanks game next weekend ScOrE!!...and i might have a few extra tix--so be extra nice to me and you never know! :)

and don't you all think this woohu argument is getting a little silly? I think everyone had some valid points, but let's just agree to disagree, not hold any grudges, and move on, it's some good thoughts but i think it's getting to a silly point...and cheri--keep on writing, i think your journal is great!

much<3luv

ps--and lauren: down with the christmas/easter churchgoers!!! grrrr! lol.

feelings of the moment: happy, tired, amused, tired of it all, confused, overwhelmed, at peace, indifferent. i must say that is an odd combination.
i am out of candy as well. thanks to lovelies around helping me.
show saturday night, should be exactly what the doctor prescribed. i cant wait.
other stuff.. eh. i dont understand how my brain works. one day it sees something one way, then the very next it can see it in the complete opposite way. oh well.

Best Passover Lines:

1. Let's make this night really different from all others nights.
2. Did that just say we were in bondage?
3. What's a girl like you doing at a seder like this?
4. I like my matzah thin, like my women.
5. Maybe when Elijah comes, we can make it a threesome
6. I could never Pass you Over.

lol. a bit funny to me and jews :)

chem that last half hour or so was a friken riot. sooo funnyyyyy lol christine, heather, ashley. omg.

like that icon ehhh?
my wknd was good...friday was chillin with the girls, wendy's, natalia's, pimp my ride, spice world. Saturday and Sunday i hung out at the hotel with my cousin Pam and uncle and aunt. Last night, all my florida fam and them came over to dinner. Pam and i played with our cousins, it was fun.

well the next 2 months are gonna be crazy! concerts, school, dance show, exams, eagle-ette auditions + practices, parties, banquets...AHH! i'm worried just thinking about how i'm gonna get to do everything. This weekend is the concert- something corporate and yellowcard with my darling christini :) I'm just a bit concerned becuz friday i have practice, my permit test, and then have to go hang out with my in-town relatives. Saturday i probably have to hang out with them all day too becuz at night i'm going to the concert. Then sunday, somehow i will have to read 2 econ chapters, study for my stats test, and probly a bunch of other things the teachers will pile on. Fourth quarter is crazy and i just have to take it day by day and STOP PROCRASTINATING cuz i dunt have much time to waste.

i can do it. woooo. gotta get started! <3
