I am not a happy camper, and I have spent too much time in my head. I have just regained the energy to write in my moleskine, send emails to teachers, and force myself to be ready to hop on bart at 8am to go to Children's Hospital for x-rays. Thanks, scoliosis, you did me well. Immune system, you fucking suck. <br /><br />Summer isn't far off, but I'm a little afraid for it. I would like to grab my diploma and leave high school, but going off to college at the moment is just too weird to handle. Mostly because of finances. Columbia College is expensive as fuck, not as much as Whittier, but my financial aide packet was depressing as hell. I'm poor, give me money! I am very close to deferring my acceptance, which destroys my soul. I might end up spending a semester in Washington or <span style="font-style:italic;">something</span>. I am reconsidering my plan of moving to Oregon and taking courses at LCC and transferring to U of O, or back to Columbia like I would really love. Or I could just take a year off and save up money for Chicago. It's all up in the air still, even though I am graduating in just a couple of weeks. I'm trying to not let the change of plans get me down, but it's proving to be a little difficult. I mean, I'll get over it, but it's such a goddamn bummer. Either way, when September hits, I will be out of the Bay Area. I hope. I need the change before more self-destructive things happen like they always do. <br /><br />Life (there aren't enough pictures, I apologize):<br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4041/4623518014_af19d1b2b9.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSCF4763" /><br />This is a new person.

Slackin', my bad. <br /><br />My birthday was mediocre, but good enough for me since it normally sucks monkey balls. I looked good, acted old, and ate a lot of yummy food. And realized how much I love my best friends, but how lame I am when it comes to crushes (all three that I have, at the moment). LAWL at my almost existing, but not really love life. Whatever, Chicago is practically within my reach. I can get the feel of the whole dating process there, because here, I am at a total loss. I blame my over-analyzing being paired with my apathy, it just creates an imbalance. Like everything else in my life, but that's another story, a pointless one.<br /><br />Okay, summer is just around the corner so the next few weeks of high school are going to be spent with scholarships and days in the park. <br /><br /><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1q4enrbgQ1qz9ravo1_500.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1q4juQKPK1qz9ravo1_500.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1q4atFozG1qz9ravo1_500.jpg"><br /><br /><br />What I'm listening to a lot lately: <br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8hhxthxhwk0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8hhxthxhwk0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ArgvJVFbmeE&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ArgvJVFbmeE&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RvY38j7JdCk&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RvY38j7JdCk&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02324124516658611281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678264984002632629.post-18217252804889913782010-04-20T23:07:00.000-07:002010-04-20T23:14:48.235-07:00my last days of being 17- got into <a href="http://colum.edu">Columbia College Chicago</a> and will be going there!<br />- went camping at <a href="http://www.sccgov.org/portal/site/parks/menuitem.106844a55ca9d5a5dbc2bd4735cda429?path=/v7/Parks%20and%20Recreation,%20Department%20of%20(DEP)/Find%20a%20Park&contentId=b9f18a77d9784010VgnVCMP230004adc4a92____&cpsextcurrchannel=1">Mount Madonna County Park</a> over the weekend, it was great.<br /><br /><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs446.ash1/24571_10150187147645377_895645376_12067783_7289461_n.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs406.snc3/24571_10150187147670377_895645376_12067787_7980925_n.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs406.snc3/24571_10150187147760377_895645376_12067798_1187735_n.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/krrey21/friendsandparties/027-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs446.ash1/24571_10150187147775377_895645376_12067800_451278_n.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs446.ash1/24571_10150187147830377_895645376_12067808_6909490_n.jpg"><br /><br />- talking to new people and actually enjoying it<br />- UC Santa Cruz for 4/20.

All you'd be able to hear me say in the past couple of years has been, "I cannot wait to turn 18, life is going to be much better." Life is much better already, but not because of my age, it's mostly because I've decided to just say "fuck it" whenever something bad pops up. I'm still finding something to smile about at the end of each sucky day. And I realize, for the first time in years, it's okay for me to make stupid stupid stupid mistakes and decisions, and no one has the right to take my dignity away. And no one will, unless I let them, but we all know that isn't going to happen. <br /><br />I'm slowly letting my nerves about college getting to me and I know it's normal so I'm not necessarily stressing it. It's just a lame thing to be worried about at this point. <br /><br />I'm going on an adventure, alone. Well, not necessarily alone, but I will be doing things in an unfamiliar place (but with someone I love dearly), and I cannot wait. While I'm in the midst of doing such things on my adventure, I'm also visiting Whittier. My fingers are crossed that it's the college for me, because I'm having some doubts, ack. We'll see what happens. I just want to be able to say, "HEY I'm doing this and I'm completely secure and happy with my decision," that is all. <br /><br /><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0uiltIJKo1qz9ravo1_500.jpg"><br /><br />I am content. Maybe slightly above content. Just better than usual. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Danny: So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: <span style="font-weight:bold;">Hate is baggage. Life’s too short to be pissed off all the time.</span> It’s just not worth it. Derek says it’s always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can’t top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you’d like. ‘We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.’<br /></span><br /><br />(from American History X)khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02324124516658611281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678264984002632629.post-6859757276897348852010-04-08T21:08:00.000-07:002010-04-08T21:18:35.175-07:00+ got into <a href="http://whittier.edu">Whittier College</a> and I am strongly considering going there.

It's just funny that I go there I will be majoring in political science and child development. Do I look like a future poly sci major at a college founded by Quakers? Sam saif, "just a little bit."

Of course I was one of those people who waited until a week or two before the deadlines to apply, so of course, I'm going to hear at the last minute. Fail.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Where I applied (outside of CSUs): </span> <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Mills:</span></span> No idea what my chances are for Mills, but I'm hopeful since my interview went really well, and I had awesome letters of rec and a solid essay to back me up. I'm just not sure if I had everything they wanted, and I was too lazy to check. I would be really happy if I got in, and it was my top choice for a while, but I don't know. I'm looking to go very far, or at least far enough. Mills is really just around the corner. It doesn't feel like it, but still. It would be nice to say I got in though. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Whitter: </span></span><br />I applied to Whittier on a whim and I'm pretty sure I applied after the deadline, but I got a letter back asking for the rest of my stuff so....hopeful? I did more research and it looks pretty cool. Middle of nowhere, but good enough. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">SUNY Buffalo:</span></span> I don't care so much about Buffalo. Upstate New York? Cool beans. My chances aren't bad, probably 50/50 chance of getting in. It's just a matter of financial aide and the fact that I know nothing about that area. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">SUNY Purchase</span></span> I'm not sure they got my transcript >: Purchase isn't a reach, definitely a match/almost a safety, but I'm not sure what's going to happen. Their journalism program looks good. It has really awesome courses, and the school is less than an hour outside of the city. Hideous campus, but the school itself seems badass. I don't have many complaints, I just don't know how I feel about New York anymore. If I really hate it, I can transfer to Columbia or NYU, and still live my dream. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Columbia: </span></span><br />Aaron calls it Columbia with a K. I'm so in, it would be a tragedy if I was denied. Even though it's easy to get into (open admissions), it's still a great school, and I have no doubt that I will like Chicago. People have been asking me where I am going, and I've been saying, "Columbia, most likely," so that's good, right? I have some dedication to it. My fingers are crossed for Columbia!<br /><br />I just want to get into college already, damn. <br /><br />Life is going really well, even though I've been irritated by certain actions by myself and others. I'm slowly getting over everything and have decided to look for a reason to smile after every sucky day. Doing that really just makes life better and I am totally digging it. It's definitely time for a new start!khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02324124516658611281noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678264984002632629.post-91930272484031948862010-03-21T23:54:00.000-07:002010-03-21T23:58:56.172-07:00strangest weekend ever<a href="http://s810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/krrey21/friendsandparties/?action=view¤t=026.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/krrey21/friendsandparties/026.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />He was awesome <br /><br /><a href="http://s810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/krrey21/friendsandparties/?action=view¤t=044.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/krrey21/friendsandparties/044.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I have very talented friends <br /><br /><img src="http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/krrey21/friendsandparties/056.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/krrey21/friendsandparties/055.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/krrey21/friendsandparties/050.jpg"><br /><br />Car accident due to stupidity of underage, unlicensed drivers: <br /><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzo7urjWdR1qz9ravo1_500.jpg"><br />Nasty bruise on my thigh too. <br /><br />Other than that, life rules.khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02324124516658611281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678264984002632629.post-449833429332861552010-03-07T23:27:00.000-08:002010-03-07T23:30:32.622-08:00inspiration<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwqa17c9HY1qzpx1jo1_500.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwir1dKh2Q1qzyr3lo1_500.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kvvndkecYh1qauh38o1_500.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kvagooOaUX1qzwa7qo1_500.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kufb5b3HP81qa3nkvo1_500.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwigo0ZqFl1qz9ravo1_500.jpg"><br /><br /><br />"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, and don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it." - Steve Jobs<br /><br />"I’ve never been lonely. I’ve been in a room — I’ve felt suicidal. I’ve been depressed. I’ve felt awful — awful beyond all — but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me…or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I’ve never been bothered with because I’ve always had this terrible itch for solitude. It’s being at a party, or at a stadium full of people cheering for something, that I might feel loneliness." - Bukowski<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />(credit lost for pictures. leave a comment if you know where they belong, thanks!)khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02324124516658611281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678264984002632629.post-48877193696135973182010-03-06T09:50:00.001-08:002010-03-06T09:52:22.035-08:00<lj-embed id="50"><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5wyr7_-s_YA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5wyr7_-s_YA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /></lj-embed><br /><br />zora howard (girl in the video) makes me feel very unaccomplished, goddamn. she is wonderful. watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTnxJdxhU7o">i have bi-racial hair</a>, you will be amazed. the video is from 2006, she was 13 years old when she performed it. <span style="font-style:italic;">thirteen </span>?!! <br /><br />i'm going to go to college and write and hope i can be just as awesome.khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02324124516658611281noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678264984002632629.post-16576021918133456582010-03-03T00:25:00.001-08:002010-03-03T00:25:41.311-08:00life seems much better whenever i realize why i decided i wanted to be a writerkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02324124516658611281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678264984002632629.post-65793573080635945872010-02-22T23:45:00.000-08:002010-03-06T09:49:55.756-08:00ski week<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs190.snc3/19747_10150108766990377_895645376_11282825_7665999_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 403px; height: 604px;" src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs190.snc3/19747_10150108766990377_895645376_11282825_7665999_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs190.snc3/19747_10150108767225377_895645376_11282846_7692527_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 604px; height: 403px;" src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs190.snc3/19747_10150108767225377_895645376_11282846_7692527_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs190.snc3/19747_10150108767205377_895645376_11282845_5399632_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 604px; height: 403px;" src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs190.snc3/19747_10150108767205377_895645376_11282845_5399632_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />the pillow fight on valentine's day was pretty epic. we only lasted 23 minutes, but it felt like it was forever.<br /><br />the following monday was the start of ski week (which consisted of staying out all night and spending mornings alone at home watching recorded episodes of criminal minds). giving us a week off was such a bad idea. now senioritis is really killing me. i'm probably going to end up beating the record of my past absences. that would be ridiculous, trust me, it really would be. after this week and the dropping of my second block, i'm hoping my attendance rate will get better. we'll see, hah. <br /><br />come on, college, come NOW. or at least the end of high school since i have no idea what i'm doing come august/september 2010 (only six months away!!!!)<br /><br />on valentine's day i sent my common app off to: mills college, whittier, columbia college chicago, suny purchase, and suny buffalo. i don't really care where i end up going to, i'm still stuck in my college choices. decisions decisions decisions<br /><br />i just want to go to school and learn. as long as i'm not at a csu i will probably hate (not dissing any of them, i'm just not in love with any), i will be happy.khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02324124516658611281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678264984002632629.post-60415601607072438962010-02-10T21:04:00.000-08:002010-02-10T21:09:48.585-08:00<a href="http://hamptonroads.com/2008/12/taking-sushi-too-far"><br /><img src="http://media.hamptonroads.com/cache/files/images/blogs/14271.jpg"></a><br /><br />Goals for the rest of the week:<br />- make candy sushi (recipe <a href="http://mommyknows.com/birthday-party-candy-sushi/">here</a><br />- finish children's story for creative writing<br />- finish fafsa<br />- send off common application <br />- finalize ski week plans<br />- sleep <br /><br />There are so many people with snow days for the rest of the week.

All I do is sleep until thirty minutes after my alarm goes off, rush through a shower and put on whatever is clean, bus to bart, bus to school, and walk. Once I'm on campus, I sleep through one class, don't get lunch and hang out with whoever is closest, and sleep through another class. What happens after that remains up in the air. Sometimes it's exciting, sometimes it's exhausting, but mostly it's repetitive. <br /><br />I don't want to leave my room to do anything <i>but</i> go downstairs to watch Criminal Minds. I swear all I do now is come home around five (or seven on some days), get some cake or a bagel, and sit down on the couch to watch my recorded episodes of Criminal Minds. I don't know, life is much better this way.<br /><br />To continue procrastinating, I started reading my old livejournal entries from the past few months. Good lord, so much has happened only within a month and a half. New friends and the whole grades and grades thing definitely passed me by. Everything is going by really fast again and I can't decide if I like it or not. <br /><br />At least that means school is almost ever. I am more than ready for summer. It's just the whole, "I'm growing up and graduating" thing I have to get over. That and the fact that I am scared shitless.khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02324124516658611281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678264984002632629.post-12987912767812269222010-02-04T22:39:00.000-08:002010-02-04T23:04:30.883-08:00it's going<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja-JzU7-O070vErtPwayRN3B1F3cob3g3cDrer3I9Lq5BU15JK2Fsx11Q-mOm_jlAgChy790xOKMiS51K3-fkRQBZBEvIpnQTaA_oFqNVqbqF1l_V_-dBmGSHrXyzN1vxdB_lFXUaUIS0/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja-JzU7-O070vErtPwayRN3B1F3cob3g3cDrer3I9Lq5BU15JK2Fsx11Q-mOm_jlAgChy790xOKMiS51K3-fkRQBZBEvIpnQTaA_oFqNVqbqF1l_V_-dBmGSHrXyzN1vxdB_lFXUaUIS0/s320/005.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434646414342264690" /></a><br />That is pretty much how I am in the only two classes I have.

And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.<br /><br />I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won’t tell then that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn’t change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn’t really change the fact that you have what you have."<br /><em><br />The Perks of Being a Wallflower</em> - Stephen Chbosky<br /><br /><br />The book people either love or hate.
