MASS BLOG UPDATE

Ahh! Haven’t blogged in over two weeks. Mass blog update, anyone?



LAST WEEK:
Monday went out to lunch at Brownstone Café with Katrina, Robert, Buddha, and Carter. We all had yummy 3-cheese grilled cheese sammiches with tomato basil soup, except Buddha who ordered salad. Normal lunch conversation, grades and summer school and sex and such. Afterward, Carter drove off to home or someplace, so Katrina dropped off Robert at the bus stop and then she, Buddha, and I went shopping downtown. Buddha left right after we arrived though because she was late for some rendez-vous, so Katrina and I shopped for about half an hour and I ended up buying a tribal-print mini-dress from X&Y. Theeennn I went home and just napped for about five hours. Progressive day, might I say.

Monsieur Geph left school early to meet up with me on Tuesday, but Katrina and I had to drop off Mark at home so we were almost a half-hour late. Geph had Ryan to keep him company though so it was no biggie. They’ve been best friends since elementary school ! That’s like a century in best-friend time. Well, at least for me. Katrina and I got there around 1:15 pm, so we chilled with Ryan and Jeff for about half an hour, and then Ryan had to jet off and Katrina went home, so of course I was forced to hang out with Jeff and his baby stick-shift car. We trekked it to Veronese Teahouse (or Café or whatever the eff he wants to call it), and the mood was just all too romantic :) He ordered this ginormous BLT and I had a garden salad with spaghetti. I only barely finished the salad though, and Jeff had to eat almost my entire spaghetti. We paid the creepy waiter and then went to this tiny room in the back and drew love notes for each other and pinned them on the walls with pins that Jeff stole off of other people’s drawings. Then we left and drove to Mt. View Park for our usual routine of talking and staring and laughing and staring and smiling and staring. Oh, and staring. Then he dropped me off at home around 4pm because I had to go see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang later that night avec mon demi-père et ma soeur. I slept through half of Act I, but Act II was much too riveting to miss. Flying car, Bulgarian vulgarity, sinister child catcher, ahh! choreography, yummy costumes—who could resist? The show ended after almost two hours, and I got home around 10pm and went straight to bed.



Summa schoo’ ended on Wednesday! I must admit, I’ll miss Monsieur Confer and his adorable mannerisms. Thank Schmod the final wasn’t too long. It only took me about forty-five minutes, and I aced every single extra credit question, so I’m pretty sure I’ll pass the class. After the final, Ryan, Bre, Jake, Robert, Katrina and I went to Katrina’s car to get our toke on, but we had to drive off for a little so the whole thing wouldn’t be toooo sketchy. We parked in a bend near Acacia Park and almost started when all of these cars start driving by, so everyone’s like, “Let’s move, let’s mooovveee!” so Katrina does a crazy U-turn and almost slams into another car rounding the bend and we’re all like, “Shit, imagine what would’ve gone down if we had crashed and had all this shit on us.” I would’ve chucked it out the window, to be honest. So we drive into the neighborhoods and just park in front of some random house. Then we schmoke ourselves schtupid and speed back to class, but I had crazy giggles so I try to calm myself while we’re walking to class, but it didn’t help that Bre was making faces and giggling her ass off. Not to mention, everyone was already inside and we were over five minutes late. So then we walk in and Monsieur Confer looks straight at me and says: “Where. Were. You.” And what do I do? I space the fuck out and start fiddling with my stuff on the floor. So Jake saves my ass and is like, “Oh, we were just in the parking lot.” But I guess Confer wasn’t satisfied with that answer because he’s like, “Dizzy! Where were you?” So I have to look up and it was all I could do to not bust out giggling or blink at a thousand miles per hour while I told him as calmly as I could that we were just kicken it in the parking lot. So then he’s like, “Okaaaayyy, so pretty much all of you guys are free to go, but if you want to know your grade, come up and I’ll tell you.” So then everyone starts getting up to go see their grades, but I freak the fuck out because I keep thinking ohmygodheknowsheknowsheknows!! …..so I don’t even go up to hear my final grade. Ridiculous, I know. Then after school, pretty much everyone but Madeleine goes to Chipotle for a final goodbye lunch. In all honesty, I’m not too sad that she didn’t come because then she would’ve heard all the shit we were all talking on her, and that’s just way too much for anyone to bear. Poor baby :( So when we get to Chipotle, Katrina realizes she can’t park for shit and takes almost twenty minutes to pull into a huge parking space. Ryan, Eric, Jake, and Bre are in the car next to us laughing their asses off, and after about thirty tries, they end up speeding off to another parking spot to avoid any possible collisions with the all-too-faded Miss Katrina. We finally get into Chipotle and eat our hearts out. Munchies yummm<3 Then after lunch, Nishita leaves with Shine, Eric, and Bre, so Robert, Jake, and Ryan come with Katrina and I to continue our previous engagements. We drive to the spot on Raymond hill and stay for about an hour and a half. Ryan and I had a good talk over stoges. I’ve decided I’ll miss him and no matter what we’re hanging out this summer. Caaannn yooouu saayy HARD SUMMER ? So then Katrina and I drop Ryan off and he takes Jake and Robert. Katrina had to go home, so Jeff comes to Chipotle and we race off to Mt. View Park. Again. More talking, smiling, giggling, and staring. Then he drove me home and I napped napped napped.



Said hello to Thursday morning with a 6:00am yoga session. Then off to Servite for my first day of Geometry. There were only Servite and Rosary people in my class though, so none of that awkward first-day uhhhhwhoyoubeee tension. I’m truly madly deeply livid about the stupid dress code. I mean, no sandals or v-necks? Really? Ri-mothereffin-diculous. Finished school at 12:45pm and called Jeff, but he couldn’t leave early because of his final so Matt took me home and I got ready for Jeff to come over. He got to my house around 2pm and we chilled for about two and a half hours until he had to leave. At dinner, my parents freaked the fuck out because I finally told them that Chelsea (whom I’m planning my birthday bonfire with) is from FUHS, and they pretty much completely vetoed my birthday bonfire plans because she happens to attend the school I got kicked out of and they’re scared she and I are going to invite a fuckload of Fullerton people and get drunk and stoned and shoot up heroin and just have crazy ‘70s free-love sex or some shit. I fought with them for a full hour, cried for almost two, and then called Jeff and asked for his advice and he said to just tell Chelsea, so I compromised with my mom and she said it’s not Chelsea that she’s worried about, it’s just everyone from Fullerton that I used to hang out with. So we settled on a simple dinner party at my favorite favorite schmavorite restaurant (Taluja Grill in Irvine) with a few of my close friends (Chelsea included), maybe beach afterward, and then off to Visual Pollution, my stepbrother’s urban graffiti art show / hip-hop showcase near San Diego. I need to call Daniel soon to see if he’s still down to come to the art show. We haven’t seen each other for over a month and I really do miss him :( I haven’t had a chance to call Chelsea yet either since I’m still on grounding for lying about hanging out with Jeff, so I guess I’ll just have to wait until Monday to break the news :/

Friday woke up way too early for way too much of nothing. Julianne’s water polo practice was supposed to be at 8am and since it’s in the opposite direction of Servite, I was supposed to be awake and ready earlier than usual so we wouldn’t be late. But her practice ended up not being until 12pm (fuckup on mom’s part), so I only had six hours of sleep when I could’ve had more :( Then went to school looking, smelling, and feeling like shit. Well not really but that’s what it felt like. So Katrina and I had plans for her to come over and meet the parents so they could get to know her, but I guess she’s mad at me for some reason because during break, when Saad and I asked her to come have a stoge with us, she kinda sorta blew us off and was like nahi’mchill and just walked away. What the shit did I do? I tried to call/text her later on but she never picked up or called me back. Hmmph. So since my plans were shot for after school, I called Monsieur Geph and he was at Servite by 12:40pm<3 We drove to Lollicup for yucky Milk Tea Boba, and he wanted to stay until we had another awkward run-in with another awkward ex, but I practically dragged him out of there and we drove to the Buena Park Mall to see Brüno. Our plans didn’t turn out so well, so we just went to Mt. View Park to kill time. We thoroughly established that two guys hanging out at a park together can’t possibly be straight, and apparently I’m a cruel person for laughing at funky-looking old men who talk to their girlfriends over the phone at parks. After about a half hour, we ended up back at my house. He stayed for about four hours. Fun fun ;)

Saturday. Not much. Woke up early for the annual Brookdale Block Sale and didn’t sell shiiittt. Quite bummed, I’ll admit. But I ended up donating all of the clothing I had sorted out the night before to St. Jude’s, so my closet is almost half empty but at least it was for a good cause :) Then went out to Koba Tofu Grill for dinner with ma mère et Julianne. Got home around 8:30pm and wasted life on OMGPOP for about two hours. Another progressive day? I vote yes.



Woke up on Sunday around noon, ate breakfast for an hour while reading the morning paper (Vampire Weekend live in two months!), bruffed my teef and took a shower, then went back to sleep. Went to my first Alateen meeting later that night (it’s an organization for relatives or friends of alcoholics, i.e. ma mére). Keywords to describe my mood: awkward, tense, uncomfortable, overall NOT into it whatsoever.

THIS WEEK:
Monday. Not much. Coach Lamonda decided to put me on Independent Study since I have a 104.7% in the class, so now I only have to go to summer school three days a week for one hour. Jeff came over after school after a whole weekend of not talking at all. Stayed for four hours then left. Forgot what I did for the rest of the day.

Got my teeth whitened for the fourth time in three years on Tuesday. The dentist’s assistant didn’t seal my gums all the way, so some of the bleach leaked through and completely killed my nerves. I had to deal with sensitive gum shocks for over 24 hours, and the ibuprofen didn’t help at all. I’m never getting my teeth whitened ever again :(

Oh, Wednesday. How I regret you so. So I left school early to see Jeff, and he ditched his classes to come pick me up. We went to Mt. View Park for a bit, then he drove me back to Servite to get picked up my mom. After she dropped me off at home, he came to my house and snuck in through the back. Brought Lollicup for Julianne :) Stayed for a little over four hours then made an (almost) clean escape….except my neighbors caught him ON CAMERA leaving the side of my house…..and decided to tell my stepfather later that night. My mom threw a bitchfit when she found out, pretty much told me it’s over, and threatened to take my birthday, car, and presents away. I freaked (of course) and went into overdrive, backpedaling everything I had been saying and pretty much sucking ass for a good thirty minutes. I guess it worked because she didn’t seem as mad afterward, but she’s still being a bitch about everything and it’s annoying the fuck out of me.



I turned SEVENTEEN on Thursday! Julianne gave me the Ting Tings’ “We Started Nothing” and I can’t take it off repeat. But finallyyy, I won’t be the baby out of everybody anymore! But in the words of Monsieur Jeff: “Nah, you’ll just be a bigger baby.” Hmmph :( Speaking of the wonderfully original Jeff, he showed up at my house at exactly 6:11am to drop off a cutesy bouquet of pink Precambrian Orchids with creative little cards, and a massive red velvet birthday cake; and when I say “massive”, I mean MASSIVE. I’m talkin’ twelve inches thick, the size of a medium-sized sitting stool, with more cheesecake frosting than cake batter. I brought it to school to share with friendsies, and everyone went gaga over it :) Too bad my parents were still mad about Wednesday and wouldn’t let me see him. At least they agreed to him coming to Visual Pollution with us on Saturday. It’s a two-hour drive to San Diego, so I’ll have to stock up on snacks and jazzy jams to make the trip bearable ;)

More on the road trip in my next post. Stay tuned, folks.

always one foot on the ground

I'm groggy, schmoggy, hoggy, and bloggy. Slept for about ten hours last night after ending a ten-hour converschmation at 3am with Monsieur Geph. We played about 469 rounds of Balloono and whooooo's a cheater? Heeee's a cheater ! But I won about...oh, two times, so it's fiinnee.



Chemistry project due tomorrow. I'm lighting magnesium on fire :D Hopefully Madeleine's hair'll catch on fire and she'll melt like the Witch of Oz :)

Re-bought Phoenix's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix yesterday because "Fences" was all fucked-up on the first one I bought. I want to get Matt & Kim's Grand as well. I'm in love with "Daylight" :]



So I'm going hoomme today from Dad's house and, to be honest, I really don't want to leave :( Everything's really laidback here, even if it's "like a fortress". I think I'm going back to sleep until we have to leave. Still dead tired.

but i'll only ever be a middle distance runner

It's 11:30pm and I've been on the phone with Monsieur Geph for over six and a half hours. We've resorted to OMGPOP Games and he keeps cheating :( Jealous he can't sing like this superstar:



"Tuts mah barreh."

UPDATE (07/05/09 12:43pm): Finally got off the phone at 3 IN THE MORNING. Yes, that implies nine hours or conversing and playing OMGPOP with Sir Jeff. Waste of a July 4th? I beg to differ :)

my words will be your light

Stumbled across this cute little vid:



So I've been home alone for the past two nights for almost seven hours each, and it's amazing I haven't busted any missions out windows or through chimneys. Trying to hang out with Jeff F. tonight, but it's such a bust that I'm not even sure it'll work out :/ If not this weekend, there's always Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or whenever. But if we don't hang this weekend, I have to put him on my heroes to make up for it.

Talked to Daniel for awhile last night. I feel bad because I haven't been calling him as much as I used to, but honestly after I found out about the whole "switch" shit, things between us haven't been the same. He's chill in so many ways, but I can't really handle sometimes. I promised I'd call today so I willllllll.



Rock the Bells is soon. Each day makes me more sad because I was supposed to take Jackie for her birthday, but now we don't talk anymore so nostalgia sets in ever time I think of the festival. I think I'll call her up soon to mend things. No matter how much I deny it, I miss her.

dancing in the moonlight

On the phone with Jeff F. He's a dick.

His philosophy on life:

wake up and smell the sunshine

I AM SO CONFUSED.
Nevereverever in my life have I ever been more conflicted about a "like" issue, and to be honest I'd rather just stay single at this point if this is what I have to go through. When the eff did decisions get so hard to make !? Too bad my heart is telling me to keep at it and put this above the rest. This is ridiculous.

Received my SAT scores in the mail today: 2050. Not my best, I'll admit, but I can still get into whatever college with these suckers. I'm taking it again in August for the third time. FML.

Going schmopping on Monday with Katrinarina. I'm taking her to American Vintage, then probably my spiffy little shop on Harbor :) She's like one of my closest friends these days. I know it's so random, but I honestly wish I had known her a little better during the year. The chick is so cooooooool :] And we can relate on all of the same boy issues haha. Thank Schmod she's taking classes at Servite for second session! I won't be alone to deal with all of the bullshit that comes with just being at Servite. Woo.

Currently making Jeff F. his mixtape. I started out with like ten songs, and now there's over forty haha. I guess I'll be making three ? Agh.

what a manner to act like a heart attack

This week has been hectic, but my strep throat finally went away! I am no longer Contagious Carla, so it's all good for me to mingle with society again without being treated like a leper :]

Finally met Jeff F. yesterday after, what, five failed attempts at hanging out? Katrina and I waited almost an hour and a half for him at Starbucks, then he arrived and Kat had to go so Jeff and I trekked it downtown to BTNC. It was super duper fluper hot so we walked for awhile then decided to jam out to Lollicup; and guess who we happen to run into there ? ....Aaron and Nick. I'm like, "Let's leeaavve let's leeavvvee!" And this fool's over here drinking his boba at snail speed, watching me get more and more uncomfortable. I hate Jeff :( So then finally, after what seemed like four hours of sitting in awkward tension, he finally finishes his Milk Tea Boba and we book it to this really pretty park on Bastanchury. We sat on this little patch of grass and talked about the most random things, like how he once had to waltz to this old lady's violin-playing. I was trying to focus on our conversation but the grass and the ants and the sexy old man behind us were way too distracting, so we finally left and went back to my house. But also because my mom called in a bitchfit haha. Then got home, and my mind went into overdrive like "HmmmshouldIorshouldn'tI!?" But I decided I shouldn't because there's always the second date ;)

So Victoria's coming back on Wednesday! ...For Aaron's birthday ? But I'm just really excited that she's coming back early, period. And then my birthday's in less than TWO WEEKS !! I really want to celebrate it with Chels M. because she seems so chill to kick it with, but I haven't heard back from her so idk what I'm gonna end up doing. But yay, I'll finally be seventeen :D



Coldplay in sixteen days! Who's excited!? I AM.
