alright so i haven't used this thing for approximately 1 year and four months, i guess i need to kinda get back into the livejournal mode i don't know, but i never really used this thing to vent or go all emotional or share my feelings or any bs like that because quite frankly i don't see any logic or advantage to myself if i were to do so. So I was looking at some of the livejournals of people on my friends list, and i was trying to sort out the ones who just use this site to gain sympathy from others, so that i could figure out how can i actually use this site in an effective manner. The only thing that doesn't seem to have too much of an air of emotional desperation, is that some people use this site to get advice from people on situations that they find troubling. Now i cant really think of something that i would want the anyone's advice on, except i am curious to hear what y'all have to say about this one:

I guess you could say I've had a lack of motivation to do well in school for oh the past 4 years, i know i have to get motivated so that i can improve my GPA blah blah blah get into a good college blahdy blahdy blah, yeah i know that much its been lectured to me by countless people, now how do i do that, i guess the thought of leaving for college in a year's time still doesn't motivate me. Any opinions on the matter?

im coming to visit on the 28th through the 1st so yeah hope to see some of you guys. lataz

Yess!! just got back from auditions for an acting agency and I made it! These guys are going to represent me! I'm pumped! I could run 20 miles right now! (well maybe not but you get what im sayin).

but now i gotta go take acting coaching cuz the lady running the agency says my acting is too stage like. So i need to learn to tone it down and use less gestures to show emotions and focus my emotions on emanating from my face.

and it was so weird too cuz the people that i thought were doing a terrible job of acting were the ones she told were doing perfect. and the ones i thought were doing well she said that they must be stage actors because they were going over the top.

arrghhh now im worrying if i end up coming back to texas im gonna be used to this style of acting and i wont make it for a single show at memorial theater. guess i should just focus on the task at hand.

i hope to see some of you guys a few days after christmas. I'm coming down like the 26th and then we leave about 4 days later.

Gotten back into paintball lately. I'm actually into it now much more than i was before. Yesterday we had a game over 12 acres of forest, ten-on-ten, one shot kill, time limit was 3 hours.
We had one guy on our team who had binoculars, so every 15 yards or so we'd stop and he would climb a tree and find out where the enemy was. So we were able to get behind them and slaughter em in one raid.

I have discovered EBAY! Alright I'm kinda late I know, but it's still definitely something worth celebrating. Being able to get shirts that would cost $60 for less than $15! Being able to get brand new video games that I would have to pay $50 for, for only $10! But most importantly I can sell the Persian antiques and crap that my dad brings home after he goes to Iran, and I get 15% of the sales.

This is a shout out to every one in drama: If any of you happen to know even the week that varsity one-act performances will be held then please let me know cuz im wanna come see them but i gotta know as soon as possible so i can order the plane tickets for a cheap price.

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want, either good or bad. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your LJ and be surprised about what people remember about you.

Just finished a report on why the anti-hero is better than the hero, my example of this being punisher vs. peter pan. Of course we know that peter pan would get his ass kicked my the punisher but the purpose of the report is to show that the anti-hero is more easily accepted by modern audiences than the hero is.
Although I did have a hard time deciding whether to do my report on hannibal lecter or the punisher. But in the end the choice was obvious...punisher all the way.

Finally one of my get rich quick schemes worked!!! I am holding $1500 in my hands! Thanks to two gumball machines. If business stays good then 1500 is my monthly salary! I'm extremely pumped right now.

ps. Tey tell me if you recognize the acronym in the subject line. hehe

I set up a forum for Memorial High School check it out at memorialhigh.forumsplace.com

There are different message boards for certain extra-curricular activities. There's even a board for previous students of Memorial.

Send me any ideas and suggestions you may have.

7 weeks after i get my golf cart and i already crashed the fucking thing...just great. But at least it was interesting! If you consider having the front end in a lake to be something interesting. hahahaha! So here's the story.

I get this project very similar to Mr. Gomez's travel agency project, in that this project involves creating a 12 page pamphlet, 12 slide powerpoint, 2-foot by 2-foot 3d model, and a 3 foot by one foot sign. The only difference is that gomez allowed us eight people at most. This guy chose our groups and split the class into two groups of 13.

So like any stupid teen we all the meeting places mixed up and have 5 people at one house, 4 at another and 4 at another. So one thing leads to another and everyone comes to my house when we agreed to go to another person's house. So we leave my house with a fleet of 4 golf carts at 8 pm. so its pitch black by now.

T get to Michelle's house we have to drive on some unpaved golf cart paths. Roots stretching across the paths,and puddles at particularly low points. And all drivers happen to be male so naturally we start racing and getting too close to one another.

Two carts in front of me the driver stops suddenly (She later tells us she stopped cuz she didnt want to run over a squirrel. A fucking squirrel!!!) so the driver in front of me tries to stop but ends up hitting her anyway. So i saw her stop already so i already started stopping, but the crazy ass sitting next to me panicks cuz he thinks we're gonna hit the guy in front, so his logic kicks in and steers us toward the lake ten feet to the right! (Logic? yeah sure) gravity kicks in, we go down-hill, hit the lake.

Needless to say the guy sitting next to me looks at me wide-eyed...(at this point im expecting him to keep saying a bunch of "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" But no! the bastard gets out and runs!! I run and catch this guy and he's laughing his ass off!! so what do i do?!!...... I fucking laughed my ass off! HAHAHAHA! alright it was pretty bad but it was also fucking hilarious!

Course dad didnt think so but oh well.

And overall that whole project experience was quite entertaining mainly due to things that happened with our golf carts. Almost hitting PARKED vans but coming to a screeching stop that silences the entire grocery store parking lot. Going dwon a hill at a 45 degree angle only to hit the bottom and have the hub cap fall off. Driving several times at full speed through a forest. And having a lit cigarette fall down one of the driver's pants. Yup its been a full week! HAHAHAHA!

Take the quiz: "what drug are you?>>>>>COOL PICS!!"

extacy
YOU ARE THE FUNNEST DRUG...WOOT...you see colors...and people...and you dance...and you AHHHHH!!..ITS FUN!!

HAHAHA!!! thats friggin hilarious....i thought i was pcp...oh well.

Ok before i moved here i was really sad about leaving the drama group in mcallen behind, but i was also psyched to become a part of this one because people were telling me how 6 kids from this school went to NYU with scholarships for acting and some for directing. But i got here and i was talking to the people who are actually part of the drama group and they're telling me how much this director sucks. So im thinking ok maybe this guy is just a strict director so they're pissed at him. But no, a guy that moved here last year elaborates and tells me that he came and was talking about oedipus to the director and the director was like "who's oedipus?".

So the first question i think of is how did 6 kids get scholarships to NYU. So people tell me that they just audition for school plays as extra practice, and that they get their real acting experience from acting agencies in nearby atlanta.

So i asked how i can get to audition for one of these agencies and this chick explains the whole agent-audition process where they only have like 5 auditions per year. So she's gonna put in a good word for me and tell me when the next audition is.

This is a joke told to me by angela's and ariana's cousin.

Katrina said to Rita, "I handled mine..what happened to u? u aint do shit"." Rita replied, "But I had them mutherfuckers running!!"

And they're cousins how?

YES! I'm officially going to see serenity this friday! you're probly thinking it's just a movie man. But no, its not just a movie cuz first of all its gonna be an awesome movie, second it's like the third movie i've seen since i've been here due to the fact that its 45 minutes to the nearest movie theater. That friggin blows doesnt it? Therefore that makes going to the movies just that more awesome. plus to get in you have to show ur ticket at the front, so no chongers bashing on the arcade games.

What am i saying? alright ill admit it, im actually starting to miss the chongers. We entered a mexican restaurant the other day and it was music to my ears to hear people using the word wey again (not even sure if thats how u spell it but wutever). Cuz all the other hispanics around here are all like Spanish or Portugese (dont ask me why, but word on the street around here is the spanish mafia has a lot of operations here, yeah right.) and i used the word wey and they were like "omg only the trashy hispanics use that word!"

So needless to say after that incident i purposely ticked off every spaniard i could find.

We don't have school on monday or tuesday!!! Thanks to the governor who declared it a state-wide holiday due to the high gas prices. So basically we're supposed to "recover" from the devastatingly high gas prices. boo hoo hoo, of all the things to complain about during these times they chose the gas prices. What a bunch of uptight white people eh? But hey i do get two days off of school that dont get cut out of our summer vacation cuz they're considered like snow days.

Imagine what the super intendent over in mcallen would say if you asked her for days off cuz the gas prices are too high. She'd probly ask you what ur smoking and then ask where she can get some. lol

Everybody here in this new school has myspace and no one has lj's. That sucks.

Dude!!! I met this freshman that is into basically all alternative music!! This guy doesnt have very many hobbies except his music, so he has all these cd's, and he's letting me borrow them! Like this band im listening to right now, Thrice. They're so friggin awesome! They're like the first seriously hardcore alternative band i've heard. Screaming is like 3/4's of their music, and yet it doesnt sound overboard.

Amazing how i think everything sucks when i go to a new place but then when i get there i realize that all the bad things aren't as big as i thought and now i see that the good things outweigh the bad. I've had a bad habit of making pre-judgements many people know that, but i see the fault in that so no more.
