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

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.
