yesssssssssss!!!!!!

Everything is finally working out for me! Life is wonderful! GAH! This is the best thing ever!

woot!

Today was fabulous! At first I felt really sick and crappy but now I'm doing much better. I got a haircut today, and I love it! I have bangs again!

After my haircut, I went with Arlette to the Hal Marcus art studio to see a performance by the Shimmy Sisters, it was great. After the show, we went around to see the different vendors and saw our belly dance instructor. I also bought a pair of earrings and a tape measurer bracelet, they're both so cute! All the people there were awesome too. A portrait painter there introduced himself to me and told me I had an amazing face, but I didn't get to exchange numbers because it was during the performance and people were passing by like crazy. Then Arlette and I got our pictures taken for the newspaper. And oh my god, I LOVE Laileinia's husband! He's in the band that does the Shimmy Sisters' music and not only is he adorable, he's also freakin' hilarious and awesome! When I was buying my earrings from him I asked how much they were and he's like, "How much do you wanna pay?" So I'm like, "Uhh... five dollars?!" "Sure! They're yours!" It was great and he was just talking to us telling us we all get a

 discount because we belly dance. The whole lot of people there was just so cool, it was like artist heaven! I loved it.

my bracelet

my earrings!

Oh, and today I found the video of my father dancing with the Shimmy Sisters on youtube, it's hilarious, enjoy! My dad is the first guy they bring on stage, the one who looks like a dork haha. My belly dance instructor is also featured in the video as well as all of the girls who participated in the Arabian Nights show at UTEP. Yay, Karisha!

wow.

So, I haven't updated in almost a month! A lot has happened, too. This week is finals week, and I'm so happy I'm exempt from everything! That means I just have to come in for forty-five minutes every morning this week and then I can leave! I consider winter to break to have already started for me.

Today was such a good day! It just got better and better as the day progressed. First, in World Geography we had a "party" which basically consisted of us watching some dumb christmas theme movie whilst eating crappy food that people brought. But, I can't complain too much, since we didn't have to do anything all period. Then, in P.E. we did nothing. I got to listen to my ipod all period, which wasn't too exciting. So, I wrote Arlette a letter on an index card. Haha.

Finally, I got to Biology, where I watched Enchanted for the first time. Yes, I know, I'm way behind. But, none the less, I LOVED it. It was completely adorable and dorky. I love movies like that, my inner dork needs to shine through!

Then, Geometry. It was like, the moment of truth in that class because Mrs. Galvez got her class schedule for next semester. I was so happy when I saw that ALL of my friends are still going to be in the same class next year! The rest of the day I just spent talking with Alan and Arlette, which I always enjoy. Then I went over to Arlette's to hang out and eat dinner. I love her mom's food. Oh my god. But, it was cool, because I didn't think her mom really liked me, but then today Arlette was joking around saying something about me never being to their before and her mom was like "Oh, whatever! She's a part of this house!" It made me feel so good! 

Well, that's about it. I'll update again this weekend, because somehow I think the most exciting thing I'll be doing this week is sleeping. Woooo!

au revoir

ahh, procastination

So! Right now I should be...

1. Writing a review for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

2. Reading Great Expectations and,

3. Doing an English worksheet. 

Am I doing any of the above? Of course not! I'm gonna wait till the last possible second, like I always do! 

Anywho, I haven't updated here in a while, save my little wish list. God, I can't wait for christmas. I've been brainwashing myself for the past week listening to Sunny 99.9, all they've been playing since the beginning of November is Christmas songs. I love it.

I really have nothing else to say. Oh well.

Christmas Wishlist

It would mean a lot to me if this holiday you could try and donate to TWLOHA. The organization's purpose hits close to home and I'd love to see them getting help this holiday.

• TWLOHA Paramore shirt
• Make a donation here.
• Belly dancer t-shirt
• Urban Decay Ammo Plus Primer set
• American Apparel Online Gift Certificate

There will be more to come...

Oh yeah,

I forgot to say this- 

So, Friday I went and saw HSM3 again, and it was even better the second time. I was 10x more annoying this time also. It was great.

Other than that I did pretty much nothing this weekend.

But, one last thing...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASSADIE!

SAY ANYTHING SELF-TITLED ALBUM IS COMING OUT NEXT YEAR!

Max Bemis just posted a blog to inform fans that "Say Anything," their new self titled album will be coming out this upcoming year. The band will begin recording this winter in L.A. Max explained to fans that "Say Anything" (originally planned to be titled "this is forever") is going to be a chance for him to resolve all the conflict brought up in previous Say Anything albums.

"if any person has followed our band, they understand our albums tell the story of a simple dude (me) and his evolution in life. this is the part where, having gone through his "idealistic--yet-furious-virgin" phase (baseball), young "drunk-angry-pukey-sex" phase (is a real boy), his "reaping - the - benefits - of - years - of - self - abuse - by - being - stuck - in - a - terrible -relationship" phase (in defense of the genre), he is finally confronted with the question of what the point of all of it was. what is the moral of the story? why be in a band? why try to "get" the girl? you spend years bitching or hurting yourself and others until you realize there is really something to fight for and something to fight against and being a man means drawing the line. that, my friends, is where the real adventure begins. 

this album is self titled for a reason; it will take all the musical and lyrical themes of every say anything song, and attempt to resolve them and infuse them with something pure and direct."- Max Bemis (myspace blog)

Aside from this project, Max Bemis will also be releasing an album with his side project band Two Tongues. In the band with him is Chris Conley, lead singer of Saves the Day and object of admiration to Max Bemis. Two Tongues' self-titled debut will be out February 3, 2009.

Now my opinion on the matter: HOLY FUCKING SHIT I AM SO EXCITED, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALBUM FOR MONTHS!!!! 

If you didn't know it already- Say Anything is my favorite band and Max Bemis is way up there on my "favorite people in the world" list, so this news is monumental to me. I'm so glad Max is writing an album that will try to resolve all the crap he's gone through. It's really meaningful to me, because I've gone through similar phases (not nearly as extreme though) and his music has always comforted me and made me feel not so alone. I'm finally at a time of peace in my life and I'm glad to see he's getting there too.

Squee! This is so exciting!

The Vote By a Landslide: Barack Obama

My faith in this country has finally been restored. No crying, no moving to Canada, no cursing, or yelling, or throwing. Life seems so much better now.

Barack Obama has been elected to be the 44th president. He will be the first African American in office. This day will go down in the history books, twenty or thirty years from now I'll be able to tell my children, I watched Obama win, I listened to that speech on November 4th, 2008. I am honored to be able to tell my children that I watched Barack Obama change history.

Yes We Can.

TOMORROW IS ELECTION DAY!

Tomorrow! Ahh, it's so exciting! I'm going to be up all night tomorrow waiting for the final results. I swear if Obama doesn't win I'm going to cry. Hopefully that won't be a problem. Fingers crossed.

elections and hsm 3...

I'm fucking freaking out about this Tuesday. Only two days till we know who our future president will be. Hopefully it's Obama. If not, I'll see you all in Canada.

Okay, so yesterday I went to see High School Musical 3. Let me fill you in, I HATED the first two movies. They made me want to kill infants. So I went to see this one reluctantly with my friend Teagan, almost as a joke. To my surprise, I got way too into that movie. And I loved it. I felt like THE biggest dork in the universe because I was totally laughing my ass off and squealing through the movie, much like the majority of the 5 year old audience in the theatre along with me. I have no doubts I was the oldest person in there, minus the annoyed parents of said 5 year olds. But fuck it man, I had fun. Yes, I'm a dork.

skinny love

I still can't bring myself to draw anything with meaning behind it. It's a sad thing for me to have to admit. It pains me to think of it. 

I hope that tomorrow things aren't as awkward with alan as they were on friday. Again, on a pathetic note, I'm relying far too much on this for happiness, for inspiration. This weekend has been strange and fairly unhappy. Or, maybe that's not the right word, I think indifferent is better. I was just put in an overly strange mood over his actions. It wasn't how I see him.

Oh well.

au revoir

the words are written in the air

I'm having major artistic problems. I think I need to take a break from drawing to get some inspiration. That way I'll be able to concentrate on writing as well.

Today I watched "The Life Before Her Eyes." I cried. It was beautiful.

fuck.

He's republican.

I'm willing to look past that if he is.

Today we had belly dance in the new studio, the El Paso Conservatory of Dance. It was so nice! There was actually room to move!

And now, my friends, I believe I should unleash to you my newest obsession. Which comes in the form of a Swedish girl by the name of Lykke Li.

WALAA!

currently listening to: death cab for cutie

psst! guess what?

TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Obviously, I'm excited. I have nothing else to write, I'm too happy and distracted. I'm going to paint my nails.

au revoir

geometry and english

Right now I should be doing homework, but I really don't feel like it.

Yay! Tomorrow we go in at 12:45 so I get to sleep in and make yummy breakfast/lunch food! and then on Thursday I get to come home early and make cupcakes! Mmm, my life is starting to revolve around food.

Ok, so I'm going to take a giant leap in assuming the guy I like doesn't read this blog and I'll tell you a bit about him. So, his name is Alan, he went to Lincoln so I barely know him, but I like him kind of a lot. He's in basketball and plays the cello. A combination I never thought I would find so attractive. Anyways, a week or so ago I kind of gave him my number? Long story. Anyway, so now I'm really excited because I'm hoping he'll call me on my birthday, and I don't know, whatever happens after that. He's the coolest guy I've ever met, he's funny, cute, and very nice. I hope things work out.

So now that I got that out! Three more days! Yesss!

au revoir

so, life...

So today was awesome, like every day is. I don't think I completely bombed my geography test. Amazingly. I managed to come up with a science fair topic that doesn't involve tesing 1,000,000,000 people, and that I'll actually enjoy, in less than a class period. I'd say today was a big accomplishment. 

After school Carly and I were bored because our French class was cancelled. So what do two bored sisters deprived of francais do instead of homework? Bake sugar cookies from scratch, obviously. So we got a recipe online and ended up making like, 40 cookies. So, I'm bringing 30 to geometry tomorrow. I think it's funny how Mrs. Galvez's class is like the pastry dumping ground of the school. Not that I'm complaining...

Thank god, tomorrow is belly dance and then two half days of school! More baking on Thursday, and omelets in the morning with Cassadie on Wednesday (hopefully)!

Four more days! Gah!

au revoir

ah!

My birthday is this Friday! I'm so excited. Haha.

On another note, I just walked six miles today. I'm so proud of myself. I don't know how I'm not tired. Or dead. My sister wanted to kill me because every time she wanted to go back home I was like, "NO! Just a little more!" By the time we got past Subway on our way back from the trail she had a blister the size of Montana on the back of her ankle. As if having to listen to me blab endlessly about the guy I like every day isn't bad enough. I'm a horrible sister.

I can't wait for Friday. I want to open all my presents. Even though I already know what half of them are.

au revoir

rocky horror!

Today was the opening night of the Rocky Horror Picture Show for Center Stage. It was so good, and the cast (what I saw of it) was amazing. If you have a chance GO WATCH. Tickets are $10 and prop bags are $5, and if you wear a bow tie Hendricks will kiss you.

Aside from that, yesterday was the Theatre field trip to see the Producers at the UTEP Dinner Theatre. This, also, was amazing. I liked some of the actors in this production more than those in the movie. Again, GO WATCH. I don't know how much tickets are though because I got in for free.

I can't believe how insane everyone got at the pep rally today at school. Homecoming really gets to some people. It's disgusting. Oh, well, I'm not going tomorrow anyway so it doesn't really matter.

au revoir

uneventful

This weekend has been completely uneventful and boring. I just finished up some english homework and did some stretches and belly dance drills and now I have nothing to do. I am currently listening to the 1920s Radio Network. It's cool.

I need something to do. This is boring.

Have you ever realized how weird it is that we all talk to our selves inside our head. It's like earlier when I was thinking about what tests I have tomorrow in class I asked my self, "Geography? Biology? Math?" and some other little voice replied, "Yes, Casey, you have a Geography and Biology quiz, but no exams in Math!" I think it's really cool how that works out. I need to train myself to converse with that little head v

oice when I get bored, I guess I already do it subconsciously but I want to experiment.

Okay, I just re-read that paragraph and I sound like a total schizo. Well, whatever, nothing new there.

Oh! I just remembered! I watched Leatherheads for the first time today! 

Yay! It was so good. In case you don't know the story, it's set in 1925 when pro football was just starting out. George Clooney plays an older team member of the Bulldogs, one of the top pro teams all because of the fact that football had no set rules. John Krasinski is an all star college football player who is also a supposed "war hero." Renee Zellweger plays a reporter trying to get the real scoop on what happened to Carter (Krasinski) during the war. On the way Lexie (Zellweger) meets Dodge (Clooney) who is trying to get a break for his team from Carter's manager after their sponsorship fell through. Eventually Carter ends up playing for the Bulldogs and brings in big bucks for them, and I won't go on any further because I'll spoil the movie.

I loved it, though, not only because of George Clooney's sexiness, but because of the time period and the personality of the characters. The story was actually very believable and the story line was altogether enjoyable. Go rent it. 

au revoir

i love school!

Wow, has it been a long time, and now I have so much to talk about! First off, something I didn't think would be possible for me to say this year... I LOVE SCHOOL! It's amazingly, awesomely great! I have some really cool teachers this year, and I don't think I can say that I don't like any of them.

One of the biggest surprises is that I actually like P.E. this year. Ok, you may not know this but I am the biggest klutz and moron when it comes to most physical activity (minus belly dancing) and because of that I have dreaded physical education every year and avoided having to participate so intensely that you'd think basketball was a plague. So obviously it came as a shock to me when I said one day "I really like P.E. this year!" I swear to god the planets had to have fucking aligned in that moment. And it didn't end there, my coach now wants me to try out for the high jump for track. Believe me, I was surprised too.

Anyways, aside from all that athletic junk, I've been having a kick ass learning experience. I fucking LOVE my geometry teacher and I'm actually understanding the course now (fuck yeah I have a 90 in that class now!). She's in a neck and neck tie with Ms. Bechtel for being my favorite teacher ever. They're both awesome. Ms. Bechtel was my 7th grade Humanities teacher and was awesome we did a TON of artwork in her class and one of the best pieces I've ever done in my life was stolen out of her backroom. She almost started crying. I talked to Ms. Bechtel about EVERYTHING and we share a love for Gone With the Wind, Clark Gable, and men in tuxedos. Then 7th grade ended. It was a sad time, I wrote her an appreciation letter and everything. There were tears. Needless to say there was a void that needed to be filled. Who would've known it would come in the form of a math teacher. Mrs. Galvez is the long lost Ms. Bechtel-esque teacher I've been looking for and it's like and insane relief to be in her class. Obviously, she'll never replace Ms. Bechtel (they're different in many obvious ways) but she is held in high respect by me regardless. I now talk to Mrs. Galvez about everything and she's so cool about it. It's only the 6th week of school and she probably knows more about me than my parents do. I already know this year is going to be grand.

I'd also like to point out to anyone reading this that my birthday is coming up! On the 17th of October I shall be turing 15 years old. Yes.

au revoir

this blog still fucking sucks!

Well, now we're going into the third week of school! So far I,

1.am going to fail pre-ap geometry

2.love theatre, french, and english

3.want to die from insanity

4.think i'm going to have a mental breakdown very soon this year.

That's about it kiddos.

au revoir!

First week o' school

School has been a lot better than I expected. I love all of my classes, especially on silver days. Theatre is awesome and so is French, I'm so glad I dropped orchestra. Also, my Geometry class is great. I hate math, but in the last two years I've ended up with really cool teachers and I'm really lucky for that, otherwise I'd be miserable.

So basically that's been school, nothing too interesting but I've enjoyed myself. Oh, today we had the most retarded assembly ever. There were men in halter tops, end of story.

After school me and Cassadie went to Barnes & Noble and read monologues in the corner and used a stuffed dragon and unicorn to act out the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet. It was great. And Cassadie got her ukulele today. She's happy about that. Now she can serenade people on the street while she rollerblades in fairy wings. Bonus! hahaha.

ok, that's all.

au revoir!

fuuuuuck

This blog is getting really bad. I think I need to go to school to have anything to write about. 

I'm very relieved to know I will not be eating lunch in a bathroom stall! Arlette came over today and we compared schedules, although we don't have all classes together, which would be ideal, we do have geometry, french, and homeroom together and therefore, obviously, lunch! I don't feel quite as horrible about it all. Plus I know people in geography, p.e., and theatre. Thank god. Hopefully the year won't entirely suck.

au revoir

clean room!

So, today was part deux of my room cleaning. My room looks so much bigger. I've also restricted all posters to one wall so i have this giant white thing next to my bed, it's creepy. Other than that I haven't done much with my life lately. I'm thinking of things to do with this mass of white I now have. I think i want to hang mirrors all over it. Like those pretty gold stained victorian framed mirrors. That would be cool.

Well I have nothing left to say. Till next time.

au revoir!

holy fucking shit

Okay, I just got word that Max Bemis is now, in attempt to bridge the gap between fans and musicians, is going to be writing songs for anyone who wants one. Unfortunately, these songs cost $150. I don't have that kind of money. But holy shit, if I did I would be doing this right now. It would be MY DREAM COME TRUE to have a song written for me by MAXIM ADAM BEMIS. Okay, this is a major birthday present.

ear piercing yay!

Today was amazing! First of all I went shopping and got new shoes, so obviously that made me happy, but on top of that, I got to go get a third ear piercing! I really like even though it looks weird right now because the skin is still tight and it's sticking out. So, pictures!

Well, that's really all I have to blog about! Carry on with your day and good afternoon!

au revoir!

Sister's Birthday

Sooo, today was my little sister's 12th birthday. In celebration the family went to see Mama Mia! It was really good and very funny and I definitely recommend it. Although if you aren't into musicals or ABBA, you would probably want to shoot yourself by the end of the film.

After that we went to Carly's favorite restaurant, Carnitas. Which is a really good Mexican restaurant here in El Paso. I had already eaten almost an entire bag of popcorn on my own so I barely ate.

Unfortunately she didn't have really anything to open as far as presents go because she already got a cat and is getting a temper-pedic bed. But yesterday I gave her a painting of Marie from the Aristocats (her favorite Disney character) that I made. The only reason I gave it to her yesterday was because she saw it in my room and I figured it was just stupid to wait till today to give it to her.

So, that was her birthday in a nutshell. Now I'm really bored and I look like a dirty hippie. well goodnight.

au revoir

July 29

Today I went to....the dentist! OK, so I know a lot of people are afraid of the dentist. I don't know if it's like a fear of finding out they have a cavity or they don't like their teeth being cleaned but, I don't understand it. I love the dentist. Like, I love the little metal spout thing that shoots out water and the little like mouth vacuum, I don't know why but I think they're great. And I just love the feeling of super clean teeth, it's great.

So then after that I went home and cooked this awesome pasta dish for me and my mom with tomatoes and garlic and mushrooms in it. It was really good. But of course now I smell strongly of garlic.

I have belly dance in like 2 1/2 hours so I need to kill time. Tomorrow is my sister's birthday so I get to go see Mama Mia!

Well that's all for now.

au revoir!

yeahhh

artwork

So, as you may know, I enjoy drawing in my spare time (which I have a lot of lately) and I wanted to share some of my newest artwork. These are some ink drawing which I'm actually really proud of (which is rare considering the amount of artwork I horde in my room). I feel, with this artwork, that I've developed my own unique style that has vaguely popped up in other pieces I've done but has never been used to this extent. In my drawing, I usually get very worn out trying to finish large very detailed pieces. I don't like putting little details in the background and I REALLY do not enjoy drawing inanimate, or non-human objects. I've tried. I hate it. That's why you'll see that all three of these are drawn as busts. As you might pick up on, I really like paying close attention to facial features and like to make bold eyes and lips to make my drawings pop. As you also might pick up on, these are not clean cut drawings and look like sketches and that is a big point in the artwork, I'm not trying to make another Mona Lisa, I'm drawing in a way which fits my personality. That just so happens to be messy. So, I'll shut up about my artwork and try to let it speak for itself. Enjoy, and it would be great to hear feedback.

California Update

This is the last one! I really skimped while actually in California, mainly because I had virtually no free time in Anaheim. I was at Disneyland/California Adventures from 8 till nearly midnight, both nights. But it was great and completely worth the fatigue that followed. 

So the first day in Disneyland was great we got there and didn't have to wait long in line for anything. We went on Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, blah blah blah. It was fun. Then me and my mom went over to California Adventures to watch Aladdin A Musical Spectacular. Holy fucking shit. It was awesome. I mean really, during Prince Ali, the actors came out and paraded through the audience with Aladdin on a giant elephant thing. How much better can it get? Oh, well how about magic carpet flying over the audience better? But the truly awesome thing about the show was the fact that me and my mother unknowingly snuck into preferred seating. Oh yes, we're bad.

After that we went on the Tower of Terror which I loved. I went on it again the next day. After that we basically just went on more rides, those I can't remember. 

Anywho, the next day was even more awesome. Why? Because I met mothafuckin Aladdin and Jasmine in California Adventures! Ok, so I felt like a total dork cause I was all excited to see some people (really hot people!) dressed as characters from a cartoon (really awesome most amazing cartoon ever!) and my mom had some little Aladdin book she got signed, but that brings on a funny discussion:

Jasmine: Oh I've never seen one of those before! (in reference to book)

Mom: Oh, I just found it at some store. (lol, great response mom!)

Aladdin: So where should we sign it? *looks through pages* *finds magic carpet ride page* Ah! Here!

*Jasmine starts reading the page opposite picture page where Aladdin is signing*

Aladdin:*looking up into sky smiling* Yeah, I remember that!

Then later:

Mom: Can she get a picture with just Aladdin? If you don't mind Jasmine...

Jasmine: Oh, it's fine, we're happily married I trust him!

It makes me laugh, how well they stay in character! I just wish I knew what they were really thinking and how they really get along with each other. 

Pictures!

Well, after meeting the biggest royalty of disney ever, in my opinion, we went to have some lunch. I wasn't that hungry so I just got a fruit...thing with strawberries in it and a water and watched all our stuff while the rest of the family got food. And for the record, those were like the best strawberries I've ever had. But that's not my story. So, I'm just sitting there eating, and I feel a tap on my back so I'm like wtf? then I turn around and it's Flick from A Bug's Life! So then I was like, oh hey! And since he's not supposed to talk he motioned at my strawberries and pointed to his mouth and rubbed his stomach and I just laughed cause I really don't know a good response for arm motions. But then we blew each other kisses goodbye and it was all good.

After all of this, we eventually went and watched the Electrical Light Parade and part of the Fireworks show, which didn't really matter since we could see it from our hotel. Then we went on a train ride around Disneyland and left. It's sad, that place really is the happiest place on earth. Le sigh. Everywhere is depressing compared to Disneyland.

Well, that is all.

au revoir 

mahdfahdgndvckldsa

So, right about now I should be posting pictures from my trip and updating about Disneyland, but I really don't feel like it. 

Today kind of, basically sucked. I've just been sad all day. I found out one of my ex-friends is telling people I'm calling her (ok, I really don't know how that's supposed to piss me off but, yeah...) and posting pictures from school with me in the background and labeling me as "some stupid loser *coughcough* casey mCcool." And you know, it wasn't that good of an insult but for fuck's sake! We were friends for two years, you'd think she'd still remember which c is capitalized in McCool. Not the first one. Obviously.

But other than that, I've just been really fucking bummed out. I feel very distanced from all of my friends and just depressed. Belly dance got those endorphins going for a bit, but other than that...BLEHHHHH! Although, out of frustration I drew a pretty cool picture.

I guess that's the end of the rant, hopefully I'll feel better soon and update on California.

Day 3- San Diego

Today we went to Sea World! Woooooooooooooo! So we were there for a while, we went on The Journey to Atlantis, which was very cool and surprisingly steep and of course we saw the Shamu show and all that jazz. It was all very fun, but now I'm tired and have sunburn from hell because of course I forgot to put on any sun block!

Tomorrow we leave for Anaheim and spend two days in Disneyland! It sucks that I have to go with sunburn but I'm determined to have fun! 

Other than that, nothing's really going on. I really want onion  rings, but whatever that has nothing to do with anything.

au revoir!

Day 2- San Diego

Today was much more eventful than yesterday! this morning we went to Balboa Park where we took a tram around and went to different gardens and museums there. The gardens are gorgeous and had some of the prettiest plants I've ever seen there. The park is HUGE so there were a lot of places to go including the zoo which we unfortunately didn't go to but I did get to see the Old Globe Theatre where a lot of broadway plays, including Avenue Q, are performed. 

After Balboa Park we went to a crappy timeshare thing, but that's not important.

So after that we went to La Jolla where we had a $73 dinner on a rooftop overlooking the ocean so it was very worth it. After dinner we went to the beach and swam and drank coffee from The Living Room Coffee House, great coffee by the way. It was very fun and I got some really nice pictures of the beach at sunset. But, once again pictures wont be up until next week, but it'll be worth the wait!

Tomorrow is Sea World! Then we're off to Anaheim to see Disneyland! I cannot wait.

au revoir!

Arizona/Day 1 in San Diego

So, last night was the first on my trip to California. We stayed in Casa Grande, Arizona. I NEVER want to stay in Arizona again. It was horrid and hot and I thought I was going to die of boredom. 

Luckily, though I am now in beautiful San Diego! I love it here, it's gorgeous and I wish I could live here (certainly makes up for the stay in Casa Grande)! Since we just got here today we haven't really done anything big but tomorrow we head for the beach and Tuesday is Sea World! Then off to Anaheim! I'm really excited.

Unfortunately, I'm on my dad's laptop so I won't have pictures up until I get home cause his computer's being retarded. So goodnight!

au revoir!

Degrassi, California, and grandparents (?) oh my!

In just hours I will finally be on my way to California! I'm really excited, and of course I packed way too much! I can't wait.

Tonight was premiere of the new season of Degrassi, and I was fairly disappointed the episode featuring Ellie and Marco making out on Marco's bed did not air as one of the first two episodes. Instead (spoiler alert!) we saw Jimmy blackmail his father into letting him get stem cell surgery after catching him with an office secretary and Mia get busted by the police with her 3 year old daughter at a booze driven party (well that kid sure isn't gonna be fucked up!). All in all there wasn't much of a shock factor brought upon by the first two shows, but hopefully there's something better yet to come.

My grandparents are over right now, trying to figure out our alarm system since they'll be house sitting this week and it's rather comical. I really hope they don't kill our dogs.

Ahhh life!

So, this week has been fairly uneventful, basically due to the weather. I mean, it would be pretty foolish to go out this week considering flash flood(basically one or two inches of water "oh dear!") warnings which mean everyone on the road is FREAKED because this is the desert and obviously no one's ever seen rain before. Eh, whatever.

Day after tomorrow I leave for California! Although I won't get there until the day after the day after tomorrow because I'll be spending the night in Arizona. But hey, I'm out of El Paso regardless! Luckily, my father will have his laptop meaning I'll be able to update this blog for all you readers! (Number of Readers: at most, maybe 2). Hopefully my ever wonderful friends will at least get on to see pictures of my first ever adventure to Disneyland (they better, if they want presents)!

Well, that's about all I have to say, I'll be back on the 19th? Well, I'll be back when I'm back. I should really be getting done packing.

au revoir!

so i've been slacking...

I'll admit, I'm not too good at this blog stuff. I need too many days to myself just because if i posted anything online I'd be bitched at for sounding whiny because I'm feeling cranky that day. Today was one of those days starting around noon, i woke up and around 9am I was feeling pretty good. I don't know why... but I was! So, I was just sitting in my room being happy and optimistic when I start getting this massive headache and start doing nothing but whining and being mad at everything. I really can't control my bitchy mood swings and it's kind of bad. I mean, when I whine, I WHINE. It's non-stop streams of curses and leave me alone's, or if it's not that, it's complete silence and dazing out into space refusing to talk.

What's even worse is later today I was in a good mood again and all I wanted to do was sing, of course my family forces me to confine myself in my room and belt out my musical numbers in there. And where's the fun in singing when I can't do it in way where I'm serenading my 26 pound pug dog in front of the family? I definitely cannot think of anything more entertaining than that.

I just realized half of this blog probably makes me sound like a drunken catholic schoolgirl who doesn't know what a handjob is (by the way, i don't know what that analogy is supposed to mean either). 

So right now it is 11:28pm and I'm getting pretty tired. I think this will be the end of this blog.

terminé!

dance of the belly

So today was my little 6 year old cousin's birthday party. Cassadie came along and we all (Cassadie, me, my sister Carly, and aunt Elissa) swam for about 10-20 minutes. It sucked cause the pool was small and there were mass amounts of people in there. But it was fun?

It was great, on the ride home I fell asleep on Cassadie and then took a nap again at home. It's really sad that the majority of my life revolves around laying in bed. Anywho, then was time for bellydance! It's been, fuck, over a month, so I was kind of out of shape but it was fun. And now that we're in the dance studio at Center Stage I get to see Shelbie, Cassadie, Laura, and the whole gang after dance classes. I also bought a really fucking great CD from my teacher, it's middle eastern music, but I love it and it is great for practicing.

Here is the link to the amazon page for it though I doubt there's any serious want for belly dancing music.

Speaking of belly dance, if you're interested you should go check out Rachel Brice and Sadie on youtube.com. They are AMAZING and a big inspiration. And if anyone reading this is interested in lessons I can give you the number of my instructor and you can join the class! It's all ages and very fun, so no worries. Hope this is informative? entertaining? sexy?

I'm kind of losing my blogging abilities, sorry guys.

aurevoir! 

Casey

eww

I feel like crap today. My stomach hurts and I'm aching all over. It sucks.

Last night I stayed over at Cassadie's house. We went ice skating and I fell on my ass and got a bruise. By the way, I can't ice skate, I suck. After that we went to her sister's friend Laura's house and went to a "park" near by and ate pizza and popcorn and bbq chips. It was great.

Today me and Cassadie got up at like 2 and made chocolate chip pancakes and watched Logo. Then we made cool cupcakes and decorated them with awesome little icing flowers. 

As you can probably tell, my writing today sucks and that is a complete effect of my sickness. Bleh, goodbye.

my hair has been cut!

Yay! No more hair rants! I love my hair now, it's really cute and very short. My bangs are normally supposed to go all the way across but i styled them to the side.

In other news, I missed infomania yesterday so that made me mad, but Cassadie came over so that was ok.

I'm so excited about going to Disneyland it's crazy. It's really sad that I'm 14 and have never been there. I'm happy that I'm going at all though. Only 14 days left until I leave!

boredommmmm!

Yesterday was fun, a change from recent routine. I actually left the house! Cassadie and I went to Barnes & Noble and ate at Olive Garden afterwards. 'Twas fun. But today sucks. I slept in even though I went to bed earlier than usual. I have nothing to do and there are still 6 hours until my belly dancing class.

My life needs to get less boring. And fast.

strange dream

Last night I had one of the weirdest dreams ever. In the dream I was pregnant and traveling with Cassadie and her family. I wasn't sure where we were going but we stopped at a hotel and in the hotel I kept smelling bleach. When I woke up I figured there had to be some symbolism there, so I looked it up.

Bleach

To see or use bleach in your dream, signifies a time of healing and cleansing. You are ready to mend past hurts and resolve any unexpressed emotions. 

Pregnant

To dream that you are pregnant, symbolizes an aspect of yourself or some aspect of your personal life that is growing and developing. You may not be ready to talk about it or act on it.  This may also represent the birth of a new idea, direction, project or goal.

Hotel

To see a hotel in your dream, signifies a new state of mind or a shift in personal identity. You need to move away from your old habits and old way of thinking. Or you feel the need to temporarily escape from your daily life. 

Traveling

To dream that you are traveling, represents the path toward your life goals. It also parallels your daily routine and the way you progress. If your travels come to an end, then it symbolizes successful completion of your goals.

To dream that you are traveling in a car filled with people, signifies that you will make new and fun friends and exciting adventures.

Friend

To see your friends in your dream, signifies aspects of your personality that you have rejected, but are ready to integrate these rejected part of yourself.  The relationships you have with those around you are important in learning about yourself. Additionally, this symbol foretells of happy tidings from them and the arrival of good news. 

i can't seem to get off the subject of hair...

It's very sad. My life is being consumed with a haircut. 

I went to best friend Cassadie's house today! And we did what we always do, nothing! But, rest assured, we have fun doing it. Cassadie steered me away from my super short bang fixation, and rightly so, considering my forehead is the size of Europe behind those bangs. That's what friends are for.

As of now this is my hair:

Ok, this is the best my hair has looked in a loooong time. I'm having obvious second thoughts about chopping it all off. This always happens before a haircut. And I know I'll regret not getting it cut.

I just realized how insanely stupid I sound. I'm having a crisis over my hair. Holy fuck it's hair! If the cut sucks it'll grow back! 

Oh well, this has been pointless, yet again. Wish you the best.

this is my fourth blog of the day!

Meaning I've reached an all time low in my life!

So, final haircut decision...maybe. I don't know what you think but I like it and I kind of miss looking like a dykey 12 year old boy. 

and yes, I realize the last three pictures I've posted are all of the same person! I don't find that creepy at all!

Also! I want this t-shirt!

This was short and pointless, tell me what you think about the hair, have a nice life!

hello!

I'm now writing my third blog of the day! I just proved to myself that I have no life whatsoever! And I want to start a video blog.

So, the final verdict on the haircut is nearing. I know for sure I want the short bangs. But, I don't know if I should keep my hair this length, cut it this length:

or I could go crazy and get it this length!

Help me choose! This is a major epidemic!

haircuttttt

So I've fallen in love yet again, this time with super short bangs. I think I've finally decided that's what I'm going for at next week's hair appointment. What do you think?

Just by the way, I have no clue who any of these people are. I just like the haircuts.

In other news. It's storming for the first time in months here in our little desert town of El Paso! It makes me happy. I'm praying that the electricity doesn't go out, though. Because that would suck.

Also, I love this girl, I don't even know who she is! But she's doing a year long project on youtube, tis very interesting.

lalalala

So, today I've made two new websites for myself (including this) I've officially decided blogger is less complicated and I'm lazy, so this is what I'm sticking with. 

I'm not exactly sure what the fuck I'll be writing about in here but whatever. It shall be fun! I'm determined to make this as interesting as possible despite me being a lazy boring fuck!

So, I shall begin! Today has been uneventful, I woke up, ate breakfast, went back to sleep, woke up, went online, and here I am (oh dear, I believe I just told the majority of my life story...). Last night I was skimming through a book from the 1970s and practicing my mad typewriting skills and I ended up typing one of the dirtiest passages I've ever read in a book in my life. I really don't want to retype the whole passage but let's just say it had to do with being fucked through every hole in your body. Yeah....

Anywho, I have a new-ish love in the wonderful world of clothing, that being American Apparel tights. They are bright, they are shiny, and some of them are two colors. I want them all. Luckily in approximately 20 days I'll be on my way to glorious California which is infested with American Apparel. 

(American Apparel's Opaque Pantyhose in "Poppy")

Well I believe that's all then.

amour,
