Must read it again before the movieee.

It's time to bury myself into books again and forget the world.

.. I've only got about five or seven books started at this point..

Looks like I'm on a book a day this summer.

Nearly finished with Looking for Alaska by John Green. I actually lol'ed quite a bit. And choked up and nearly cried for some of it so far.

See.. I got sidetracked and when going to Border's yesterday. The Mortal Instruments will be read, no problem.

UHM. Six Flags tomorrow. Bringing a book for something to do while waiting on those lines.


I cannot wait for my eye doctor's appointment on Tuesday. I'll be getting prescription sunglasses for the first time ever! So pumped.

WELL.

SUMMER! FINALLY!

Thus far... my tire has completely died... well, sorta. Either way, I'm afraid to drive my car until I get a new one. So.. I'm stranded. I'm missing graduation. It kills my motivation to get a job. And.. to communicate with the outside world.

Wow. Just over a tire.

Meh. One small part of life out of sync and the rest flies up in the air.

So-to fill the time?

*sigh* I've given into the peer pressure of my best friend and have tackled Twilight.

( Brief Twilight Review )
I plan on doing a lot more reading.. especially finishing The Divine Comedy.. this summer.

I will make time for people. Eventually.


Until I have the motivation to finish Twilight... I'll finish watching this nutty show that they replaced Project Runway with. The Fashion Show. I think.

...

Speaking of nutty shows...

LOST. OMG. Ugh.

Then end.

Woot, Rilo Kiley icons.

A few anyway... I'm not good at searching for things... I just want Photoshop or something to make my own. Because, you know, mine would be the shit.

I'm reading Dante's The Divine Comedy. Great stuff so far. I'm still in Canto VII, I think, of the Inferno. Very interesting.


ANYWHO.

Last night... was... ABSURD.
 I never have yelled that much in basically a total strangers face before. Let me just tell you... if you're drunk- DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT GET VIOLENT AROUND FRAT BOYS. WHO ARE ALSO DRUNK.

I thought this was common sense. So common that one could remember this while intoxicated. Apparently not.

I seriously thought this girl was going to get killed.

I have never sobered up so fast in my life. From slurred words to complete and serious control.

Anyway. Rush is ovaaa. Associating starts Sunday. Thank the Lord on High. Or whatever people say. I'm just afraid our Pledge Mom is going insane with power and is already intimidating the girls.. and we're going to end up with a ghost line, like half of the other organizations at this school. OH WELL. If not, Phi Sig will be the shit on campus with pretty much the most and best girls around. Word.

I'm about 2.5 seconds from dropping my position. But the way the universe has been working for me.. since... like August.. Whenever I want to feel sorry for myself and be selfish, something happens to people I care about and I have to put myself aside and help them. I don't mind doing that, but I have a feeling that I have a lot of surpressed anger because of that reason. Like, I was crying earlier this week that I can't be pres anymore, and then something pops up where one of my sisters need me, and the best way I can help her is by staying president. I am totally a selfish person. I just hardly get to act on it. Does that make any sense? I don't know.

And every time something has been popping up with the sorority these days-I have vivid dreams about a possibility to solve it. Eh.. or make it worse, but more fun for me. Very strange, because I pretty much have strictly nightmares or.... satisfactory dreams ;)

Other things?

Let's see..

I ALMOST had a job. But I'm not black, so the school won't hire me. So sad.

I missed my first class this week, but for a good cause. But I'm still up on my assignments. Except I lost my planner. And except they closed Calcia (art building) because of a broken steam line or something. Oh fuck... I hope that didn't mess up my projects. Which.. were trying to dry. Ah well. Shit happens. A lot. But, yeah, I didn't get to mix the glaze I'll need for Monday. OH WELL. Maybe I'll wake up early and make it before my 9 AM class. Ha. Yeah, ok.

For my Jewish American Studies class... I'm doing a project on JAPs. Cannot wait. I'm surrounded my excellent material.

Family stuff....
It's fun having my mom on Facebook. And other people in my familia, too.

Dad's in Hong Kong this week, so I feel bad I can't be home to help my mom. She's got Joey to help her with things... so, basically, she's on her own. Sad stuff.

Grandma is moving in eventually. God Bless Momma, she'll need the extra lift in spirit. I love my Grandma, but she's kind of hard to deal with for long periods of time. Mostly because she's absolutely crazy.

UHM.

Namer and I are getting an apartment, we looked at a really nice one not too far from school. We're going back next month to see if they have any idea if they'll have any openings in May. Oh yeah. May. Because 1) I need not to live at home anymore lest I lose my mind, and 2) SUMMER SCHOOL IS FOR ME.

Like I said, I'm never graduating. I still have over four semesters worth of classes to finish my major and minor.




I'm still trying to figure out why I'm such a fuck up of a person. I mean, I know there has to be something up with me. There's no way I can have this much trouble with my close friends jam packed into two WONDERFUL semesters. Seriously. I LOVE crying over my friends going apeshit on me. And, this is how messed up I am, no matter how they treat me, I still think about these people pretty much every day. Like, in the good, friendly way.. like I wonder what they're up to. I wonder who they're crushing on, I hope it's going well, etc etc etc. Lame as shit, I know. OH WELL.

...weren't quite as they had always been through the long friendship.

I just finished The Giver, again. A truly wonderful book. I nearly cried at some parts. Sometimes I feel like Jonas, except I don't have a companion like the Giver.

I also saw The Golden Compass yesterday. I want to reread the His Dark Materials series, it should only take a day or two. I don't think the movie did the book complete justice, as they never do, but it seemed like a close fit to my memory. I wish the series was more popular, that way they would continue to make the movies (the jury is still out, apparently). The second and third books in the trilogy are... amazing. Lyra eventually makes it into other worlds, including a world of the dead. I imagined it to be more like the Greek Underworld than the Christian Hell. Then, there's the battle against the Authority which, as I remember, riveting.
