| TEN YEARS AGO I WAS:
in 6th grade at DMS....I was a mighty
fightin' cardinal! I was chubby and awkward looking and i got
made fun of for it a lot, that kinda sucked. Puberty wasn't kind to
me....heh. i can laugh now, but i remember crying myself to sleep a lot
of nights back then. I read incessantly(even in class) and prolly
talked more. I made 100's in almost all my classes on all my report
cards. I shared a locker with sheena. I tutored kids for ms riedesel.
ms sockwell hated me. I was doing allergy shots hardcore but i was sick
ALL the time. I think I had like 34 sinus infections that year. I had
ms hancock for PE and i remember all of us laughin at the way she said
"feelin's" "menstruation" and her mustache. I remember miss sharpe
doing the thriller on that shaky table and swearing it was gonna break
too! I blew up a can in science lab but i didnt get in trouble. I would
go home after school with jess(cos i wasnt trusted home alone yet) and
we would eat a lot of food we ate entire boxes of chiparoos and
oreos in one sitting and i invented hot dog surprise...gross...dont
ask...I had just dropped out of girl scouts and i wasnt sad. I had a
crush on mark bonus, but i wouldnt have defined it as such at the time
cos he was my first crush and i didnt really "get it" yet. I wanted
green color contacts. i was in speech which was my first year in
theatre which i ended up actually being pretty good at it. for a long
time, i wanted to be an actress. I had braces still and i didnt shave
my legs until stevi smith said something and after that, I did it
everyday-sometimes twice a day. my mom was mad when she found out. i
ate hot pockets or pizza sticks from that dumb cart thing at lunch
everyday and i was alway buying watermelon laffy taffy(the kind with
the seeds) i wasnt allowed to do much with other kids cos everyone
elses parents had started to let them go around unsupervised but my mom
wasn't quite ready to cut the cord. we didnt have vinny yet, and i
think toby died that year. I think i cried more when he died than when
my great uncle died(does that make me a bad person??) I liked
rollerblading and swimming a lot. Everything i owned was sanrio and i
still had treasure troll bedsheets and a comforter to match. that was
slightly sickening, looking back. i had one baby t and i wasnt allowed
to wear it but i would sometimes sneak it out of the house and put it
on. my mom told me recently she knew i was doing it the whole time. I
didnt wear makeup, and i hated wearing a bra. i owned a pair of purple
jean shorts. selena died and all the other mexicans at my school went
crazy. i didnt, and roberto something or other told me i was a "Traitor
to my race" my cousin javier got married and i ended up being in corpus
during her funeral. we could see the cortetge of cars from our hotel
room. nobody showered after gym because the showers were community
style. mr may yelled at us all during lunch and called us "hooters"
which anyone should know is a word not to say in a cafeteria full of
pubescent 6th graders...riotous laughter ensued. Everyone kept asking
if i was related to our principal, ms salinas(nope, no relation) we had
ghetto kids from mo city and there were fights all the time down 8th
grade hallway. my parents were talking about me transferring to st
francis so that my going to st agnes(private high school) would be
easier. my mom was trying to brainwash me to be a longhorn and i
got a longhorn starter jacket for christmas that year. I also wore
jelly sandals, skorts, shortalls, and other bad fashion decisions.
thankfully, i never owned a pair of sketchers with the heel on them,
nor did i do the whole knee-sock/miniskirt thing a la clueless. i think
i wore my rockets t shirts a lot. i had a bad haircut. i wouldnt drink
coke out of the vending machines at school cos i saw a roach on one
once. thats about it...random...haha
FIVE YEARS AGO I WAS:
in my junior year at dulles high school...GO VIKES! MUFLY! our football
team sucked ass. I never went to one game. I ran varsity cross country
and was actually pretty good, although Allison Timberlake was faster
than I was. I wasn't playing basketball for school anymore, but I was
the manager/videographer. My camerawoman skills were pretty flippin
good, If I do say so myself. I was best friends with jess, and I was
smart. I never studied and I made good grades anyway. I took the PSAT
and did well enough to become a national merit finalist later. I
thought this meant my ride to duke was covered...haha...not so fast! I
was about to sign up to take 8 ap classes my senior year. I was really
involved in SHS and volunteering etc. I didnt have a job. I didnt
really go out much or drink or anything like that. I was basically so
hardcore about running and being skinny i didnt really do much of
anything besides read, study, and not eat. I still hada huge crush on
mark bonus, but he was already dating sarah. There were other people i
thought were cute, but i was too shy to do anything about that, and it
didnt matter cos my dad didnt allow me to date(or wear a bikini)
anyway. I was starting to have trouble with my stomach....I had miss
butz for english and by some miracle of god, she loved me. i also had
ms matney for physics. she was crazy, its because of her that i am an
engineering major. we called ms brown turkey neck cos we were
mean. sra garza shared way too much personal info. I never used
my locker, i didnt even know where it was. i did a stop routine for the
multicultural festival. I got my letter jacket and i think i wore it to
sleep in. I didnt use aim yet, but i did have a cell phone(green old
school nokia) and a car(my explorer, which was new and un-wrecked at
the time) I thought I was a big balla. I was beginning my love affair
with mustangs and my dad wanted a motorcycle and was smoking a lot of
cigars. He also had his surgery that year and i realized how close we
were when i panicked when there were complications and i TOTALLY
freaked out at school. I remember the first person I actually knew(
this girl on my track team) got pregnant. I hung out with ashley
linnenbank and steph sometimes, too. I really liked led zeppelin.
ONE YEAR AGO I WAS:
busy
being a junior at UT Austin. I was finally over my crush on mark
bonus...I had just made an A in organic II after making a d the first
time and I made all b's and that one a in my first(and last) 17 hr
semester. I also had just started working at Gregory Gym and was
meeting some of the people who I would come to love, and also a couple
i didn't love so much(hi, mark dearth). I was about to turn 21 which
would open new and interesting opportunities that i would later take
complete advantage of on the way to experiencing my first hangover and
my first night of "WOW, I DEFINITELY don't remember doing that" I was
still really tight with leslie, miguel, brandon and adam and all that
crew and we went to a lot of basketball games. I was also about to run,
and complete my first marathon. I had a guy i was sorta seeing who I
liked, but I blew it. Again. Go me. I got a tattoo. I had been treated
for my crohn's disease for one whole year and i finally felt like my
life had been returned to me(later I would cry in front of dr stein as
i blubbered my thanks to him) I had longer hair and i had bad skin. I
was a little less round than i am now.(hee hee) my uncle had cancer and
I was worried about him. I still wanted to be a doctor. I was still
friends with jess. I was(and still am) blessed

| Not that anyone probably cares too much, but don't expect an update from me for awhile. I have no computer as of now due to my inability to walk without falling and spilling copious amounts of tea on my laptop keyboard! | | |
| Ok ok ok
heres the update...it probably wont be as cool as i hope for it to be, but oh well.
I think i will go with the listy/paragraph style as i think that will be most efficient.
the coolness that was my easter weekend:
ok, so easter weekend i didnt get to go home. at first i was sorta
bummed about this since i really missed my dog and i wanted to see my
baby cousins on easter because holidays through childrens eyes are
amazing  anyway....it turned out to be
awesome cos of all the neat stuff i ended up doing. On friday,
leslie and i went kayaking on town lake...finally! We wanted to going,
but they dont rent out rowboats so this was the next best thing. It was
fabulous. I love being on the water - i had forgotten how much of a
waterbaby i am...it is always so soothing to me. After that I was
SUPPOSED to be a good catholic and go to good friday mass, but instead,
i ende up going to the sweet 16 game at the Erwin Center...I GOT TO SEE
DUKE PLAY IN THE FLESH !!!!
granted i was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay high up...and coach k was kinda
an ant.....and they lost...but it still rocked my face off. I was in
heaven. I cant describe how great it was for me. Anyway other than that
I just ended up going to mass on sunday and miguel and brandon and I
went to brunch at marie callenders and ate ourselves into a stupor. we
stole waffles for leslie and hid them in my purse. that was fun. I felt
like a trailer park person....but it was fun . I must admit that i did
feel a tad dejected to wake up on sunday when the "Easter Bunny" had
not left me a basket. But i dont need the candy anyway and my parents
already spend enough money on me so its all gooooood.
anyway, onto other subjects.
The pope: Yeah. he died. Everyone knows that. What yall dont know is
that I actually severely sobbed when I found out. I just started
thinking about all the good he had done and how that now one less
wonderful person populated this planet and I just got really emotional.
I dont know whether to blame it on being catholic, having estrogen, or
what...but it was kinda awkward. I wasted a lot of time glued to the tv
for all that. oh well.
My major: I was theeseclose to changing majors for my senior year. I
sat in bed and cried all night two nights in a row as i came to a
realization that I hate my major and it just really has me overly
stressed out. This is not helped by the 38 I made on my first systems
test. But anyway when i went to talk to my advisor, she pointed out
that I basically only need 9 hours in the fall and 6 in the spring to
graduate. So i decided to stick it out.
Accutane: I'm about to start on accutane in a couple of weeks. I swear
getting on this stuff is like trying to break into fort knox. Ive had
three pregnancy tests, loads of blood tests, have been shown pictures
of deformed babies, been warned about countless other bad/bizarre side
effects and have had to sign papers asking questions about my sex life
that, quite frankly, are nobodys business. So when im looking all ugly
this summer cos my face is peeling off, people who see me will know
why.Hopefully the end result will be worth it....
other random comments/events
i went out to 6th street the other night. some guy tried to pull my skirt off. that was weird
the e-bus is INSANE(ly funny)
anyone wanna explain why i have senioritis spring of my junior year????
People who invade personal space/ask too many personal questions when
they barely know you freak me out(ie the ultrasound TA from bme and the
weird guy with no hand at the laundromat)
I had my first Amy's Ice cream experience - Apple Spice Ice...since i
cant have dairy...it was SOOOOOO YUMMY!!!!! I cant believe I waited so
long to try it.
why do the closets(all of them, I swear) smell so bad at GRE???? The
supe closet is always smelling like funk and ass and so is the closet
in the south aerobics roomm....i dont get it, but it needs to stop
I went swimming on monday for the first time in a loooooooooong time. Loved it. I will be back for more
I miss college basketball season.
Texas Relay people infiltrating downtown austin are like...whoa
ive never seen so much bling bling...so many rims...so many HORRENDOUS
fashion choices and dude...they were partying it up in a wendy's
parking lot on the side of I-35...whats not to love about that?
I like baking...
hummm
i guess thats it
i know...see..i told ya it was pretty damn boring.
ill try to be better at updating so that i dont forget the funny stuff that happens
ciao pows!
| | |
| update coming soon...I promise
although I think only one or two people actually read this anymore.
ok Ill try to post within the week if you care to read about my life
