so let us see, since july...

what've i done, since july...

july...

ah yes, got a job working at this place that sells a bajillion kinds of liquors, including but not limited to beers wines and hard alcohols

i learned a lot this summer about all of those alcoholic drinks, and i learned to appreciate beer like i had never done before, making sure i smell it and taste it, not just down it like no other, ha! wine as well, we had to go to this wine seminar thing and learn all about the different wines and how to tell things about it and blah blka blah, now i can go up to some snooty person and tell em you suck! bah....

also had a seminar on hard alcohols and it sucked... i learned form that seminar that i do NOT like drinking vodka at 10am :S

and i made some new friends, randomly went to phoenix for a few days, came back and continued work. at this point i was still living on campus, squatting at a friend's summer apt. it wasn't that bad a place at all, it just sucked because i didn't have a key to the place so sometimes i would have to wait outside until someone came home or something... :/

so that's how the summer went, a bit of surfing here and there, LOTS of work, i got to working full time and plus, and the zine project guacamole which i'm very proud of :D

so that was july slash august

in september i had to find a place to live, found one moved in, got a crush on a kid but that went nowhere, and found a really cool rooftop overlooking downtown

in about 9 days imma leave to texas, and then the 1st week of february i'm off to argentina

october brought nothing new, found some cool coffee shops and started hitting up some local bars and watching local bands, also hung out with a bunch of new people and met and made a lot of new contacts in the music/art scene

november came and went and it was fun, something unexpected happened, in a good way

and now it's december, and that's crazy. finals week is this week, everyone is fretting and i have to start packing as well, ugh...

i'm hungry now

k so i keep forgetting about this blog, which is horrible of me, and i can't even really say i've been busy... well i have, but i should always make time for this no? but i guess that's where other notebooks come in, they're just more useful when i have a random thought and on the road or at the beach or anywhere else where i don't have access to a comp or the internet

so yes, 5 months...

• friend from Portugal came down, that month was the most intense ever... i got to show him around san diego and a bit of baja, but not much, and we went up to san francisco which was cool and frustrating at the same time, it was soooo cold

• snuck into coachellas music festival... all THREE days, and now i have some really neat scars on my stomach, arm, legs from jumping a fence on the 2nd day
• decided to go to argentina for a year, i would leave in december

• JUNE:
  • Moved out of the house
  • Moved back to campus
  • got a "job"
  • started a Zine
  • went to 2 of my housemate's graduations... ifeel so old sometimes haha

i'll write more later... when i remember more junk

oh and i'm almost done with my 4th? 5th? notebook, ches :D

I was finally an extra in a movie! Wohoo! I met Edward James Olmos and the guy who played Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite (again)

I had to dress like they did in 1968, and i met some really cool people, it was rad.

So on Saturday me and Eder got to be movie extras, it was more boring than anything, and we sat around and chilled for like 5-6 hours and then they only used us for like 5 minutes, bummer.
But atleast we got to see Edward James Olmos at work and saw the guy who played Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite there, he's such a goofball! haha

Me before leaving:


On and then I stopped at Wobbles house, and his mom didn't recognize me and he kept laughing at me, what? did i look like a girl or something? haha (i was wearing a skirt )

So we got to LA, parked and had to ride on this bus to this church thing and they made it seem all long and complicated to get there, and we found out all late that we were TWO!!! blocks away from where we'd parked our cars, ugh!
We had to fill out some paperwork and then they gave us chile rellenos, rice, beans, and all the coke, water, and gatorade we could drink. Good times! ha
(I wish I liked chile rellenos...)

Eder waiting around:

Extras!:::::::::::::::::



Greaseballs:

Some guys playing nintendo tunes on the piano, way cool haha

We decided to chill outside where it was cooler. Eder modeled the Dixie cups.

We heard the paletero (ice cream truck) and we ran across the street! And so did like 5 other extras along with us, hahaha. Eder modeling the Choco Taco, mmmm choco taco.... haha:

And then it was all over...

Being an extra that is!
Los Angeles California:

We decided to go to Venice and skateboard around. We ate the pb and j sandwiches my mom'd made me at the beach. We threw away a hot banana under my car and hoped that a bum wouldn't pick it up and try to throw it at us 'cause it was all warm and soft from being in my car for so long. Ha. And some of the crackers tasted like banana, eww. And we tried to make the Arizona drink colder by burying it part way into the sand but the tide was rolling in, and it dind't work very well...

The End.

INternet is slow, my life is slow, your mom is slow

Finished Life of Pi, need to finish On The Road, need to read for Physics, am procrastinating somewhat but not all hardcore...... yet. muahahaha

want to go swimming, wish i were at the beach
