What I Want You Can't Fuckin' Kill.

Take your cause and pass it around.
Truth: I never learned how to ride a bike.
Yes, it is true. In all my life I never really learned to ride a bike. I use to have one, my dad tried teaching me, but I remember having one bad fall that I cut my whole arm and I never rode again. Lately, for some odd reason, I've been wanting to learn to ride a bike. Maybe looking at all those Burning Man pictures has inspired me to ride a bike.
Next week, well, in 3 days, I will start college. I am excited, but I am scared at the same time.
3 days ago, I went to LCC to go buy my books with my sister. I started getting a panic attack because I started thinking of the guy I like/liked. I realized that he is also at LCC and he has one class that's the same as mine, but not sure what time or day he has it. I'm hoping that he doesn't have the same class as me, cause really, that will drive me crazy.
I don't want to like him, ya know? He's arrogant and egomaniac. Yet, I can't help but be attracted to him.
Pomplamoose is an amazing band. Just found out about them today. :3
I am determined to get better at Hooping. I have learned to get the hoop from my neck to my waist. I'm getting a bruise on my left knee and on my right ankle.
They've been showing Tank Girl for the past two weeks. Neato.
I don't know what else to say..

Sing Out
I must confess you're all I dream about
All that I think without
Never have a single doubt
To sing out, whatever it is you're trying to say now
Whatever is on your mind
I realized that 99% of the time that I write a blog is when I'm upset or just thinking way too much. So I realized that I need to start writing more happy/upbeat blogs.
Well, this past week was actually pretty fun. I had almost forgot about the Preseid's meteor shower. Here are me and my family's scores:
Round 1: Krystel - 17 Me - 13 Dad - 11 Mom - 1 Steve - None
Round 2: Me - 36 Krystel - 35 Dad - 18 Mom - 17 Kiki - 5 Steve - 1
Round 3: Me - 1 Mom -1 Everybody Else: None
Round 4: Mom - 3 Dad - 2 Me - 1 Krys - 1 Steve - None
Overall Winner: Krystel
And yeah, that was pretty much it this week. I got stuck with babysitting twice.
Just in case if I never posted this:
I went to Seaworld with my sister Krystel, Steve, and her kids for two days. My parents went to this place because my dad won in a sweepstakes to come out on Maseca's cooking show where you get to spin a wheel and win prizes. My dad won a year's worth of food which towards my first semester in college. Audio was born on June 10th and she's a pain, but she's cute and I love her. We were suppose to go to the beach but my dad had to work two weeks earlier, so we didn't get to. We replaced the floors upstairs and downstairs. Upstairs we put laminate flooring and downstairs tile. My mom made the workers put up shelf for her so she could put her evil dolls. I recieved my Ghost and the Grace shirt and CD. And yesterday I got my Anchor & Braille CD, Shirt, Poster, Buttons, & Picks! So I'm a happy kid.
This summer has been good to me. Jenni's leaving to S.A. for college on the 20th, so hopefully we'll be able to hang out before she leaves. And some German girl is replacing her for 4 months.
I don't what else to write.
I shall depart now.
P.S. - Right now I'm staying downstairs because the air con upstairs broke down, and it won't be fixed till Monday.
SHIT.

And There's One Thing You Should Know..
T&Th:
I'm kind of bummed out that I'm not going to be with my friends, since they're either going to an out of town college or TAMIU. But now, I'm going to have class with my sister! Except for Algebra.
This summer has had it's ups and downs. But for the most part, it's been nice and easy going. I've been able to express myself more artisticly and I've been able to make peace with myself. One of the downsides is that my sleeping routine has been very messed up. Some days I sleep all day and some days I don't sleep at all. I ended up not looking for a job afterall because Audio was born. (Which my mother says it's just an excuse that I use, which is 25% true.) I got a grant for college which only pays HALF of my classes. But it's better than getting nothing at all. The only reason why I got that grant was because I graduated DAP. Which reminds me, I need to go see someone at the college about giving me hours that I earned in high school.
Lately, well mostly this whole summer, I've been dreaming of going back to high school. Either in my dreams I failed a class or they just dragged everyone back who graduated.
Can you hear me.. stop?
I want to travel.
I really have nothing important to say today. Or at least not yet.

Love is just a waste of our energy.
:/
My thoughts on love are too complicated. I fall so easily in and out of love. I've fallen in love with one of my friend's neighbour and I've fallen in love with a guy at my school. Then all of a sudden I've fallen in love with someone I don't even know who lives in another state. I don't even understand any of this. It's so complicated. It brings me down and it still ends up keeping me around. I need something different. I'm so sick and tired of love. There isn't anything I could do right now.
-----
On a brighter note: yesterday was the medallion ceremony. It was alright. I sat next to Alex and we were joking the whole time through it. Graduation is almost here.

Get Up, Recover!
Apparently, since I've been painting so much, my niece now wants to be like this and paint too. I'm surprised that lately she's been trying to be like me. It's a nice feeling at times, I actually don't mind. She's been begging my sister for paint. I'd lend her some of mine, but things get too messy! And acrylic paint does not wash out 99% of the times. Especially now that we moved into this house WHICH THE 2ND FLOOR IS COVERED IN CARPET. Maybe I'll end up buying her some temp. paint if my sister doesn't.
I just realized that they finally covered that ugly graffiti in my general neighbourhood area. Normally I don't mind Graffiti BUT it was horrible and disguisting lookin'. It was just scribbles. Not artisticness to it. I didn't even understand what it said, something along the lines of ocha town? No fuckin' idea.
Which reminds me of this: http://www.pro8news.com/news/blog/42646037.html
Tomorrow is that stupid pyshical. Really, what is the point? AND WHY DO THEY DECIDE TO DO IT WHEN LAREDO HEAT REACHES 101 DEGREEs? I don't want to go but I really don't feel like lying to my mother. My plan was to go to school, get picked up by my sister right after she drops me off and stay home till lunch. But.. I don't know. Still debating. I have a feelin' tomorrow is going to go BAD.
Oh, well.

Fly Trapped In a Bottle
I remember going across to Nuevo Laredo (Mexico) a lot when I was a little girl. Iwould go with my dad, my Willita (grandmother), and my cousin David. I remember we use to walk our way across and back, it was too much of a hassel to take the car. We would buy this most amazing ice cream ever. It was vanilla, but it tasted BETTER. And the strawberry ice cream was even better. We use to wait for my Tia Socoro at one of the bus stops across. Every now and then she would come and visit us from Guadalajara. I remember we would buy fruit cups, ice cream, lucas candy, and Coca-Cola in glass bottles while we waited for Tia Socoro to get to town. My cousin David and I would have contests to see who could snort the most Lucas without crying or having a nose bleed. (Yeah, we were pretty stupid kids back then.)
There was one time when we were waiting for Tia Socoro, David and I started talking about myths and legends. My Willita brought up several ones but there was one that actually stuck to me for some reason. I cannot remember it quite clearly but it had to do with something about catching a fly in a glass Coca-Cola bottle. Then some man who come and visit you in the middle of the night to leave you money. My cousin was scared of it because they said he would come as the most ugliest creature/human ever. My cousin always wanted to try it but he was afraid of the outcome.
In fact, I don't think we've ever ended up trying it. I guess we must have been afraid. I should really bring this up to him in the next family get-together.

What?
My niece told me I'm "such a great artist and writer".
Then she asked me, "Why are you a great artist?"
"Why are you a great writer?"
I have no idea what brought this up.. she just said it. I looked at her puzzled. She just starred back at me.
I guess sometime she tries to be like me.
She's been wanting a journal like mine so she just carry around all the time just like I do.

There is no Fun in Funerals.
Today's plans:
Funeral for Tio Alex.
Should I be sad?
I mean.. I didn't even know him, but sometime tells me I'm going to cry anyways.
Everytime I go to a funeral I always cry. Maybe because I think of my Willita.
Or maybe because I just need to cry, just to let out emotions. I don't understand it.
Seven hours of people crying, prayinng, and a viewing of a dead body.
I feel so uncomfortable about this..

This Morning..
I woke up, ran to the bathroom and threw up blood. I started freaking out, then I realized, I was having a nose bleed. It guess it had barely started because the taste of blood makes me want to puke. And... that was pretty much my morning for today. I made breakfast, cleaned up the kitchen a bit, threw out the trash, and read the newspaper. This is me not acting my age really.
I don't know, lately, I feel more responsible. Well, at least when I'm alone at home. Other than that, I act like a spoiled brat with my parents. But it's okay, I guess. I'm trying to take responsibility. So now the dreams.
I had stopped running. I started walking through an endless field of apple trees. I guess I had been there for a while because I ended up picking some apples and the sun had gone down. I heard my name from a distance. I panicked, so I climbed into a tree. I looked around trying to find Eno. He stopped directly underneath the tree I was in.
He sat down against the tree. "Look, I'm sorry, okay? Maybe I'm just one of your alter-egos, I don't even know myself," he sighed. I stayed in the tree, trying not to make any noise. "I guess, you're not going to show yourself." He dropped a bracelet on the floor. "I'm sorry."
As soon as he was out of view, I got down from the tea. I bent over and picked up the bracelet. It had these hearts linked together by two little circles in between them. (Either I had seen this bracelet before or it was just dumb luck that my mom both it for me in real life.) Anyways, I stayed there just analyzing the bracelet. I felt my eyes getting watery. "Eno?" I ran after him.
I saw him walking towards the field of Sunflowers. I ran and push him down. I started hitting him repeatedly. He grabbed my arms and got on top of me trying to stop me. "Calm down, please!" he shouted. I stopped and began to cry. He got off me and pulled me towards him. He began to play with my hair. "Please don't be angry. I can't handle it. Maybe I'm the same in real life."
Then, I woke up. That same day I went to the mall with my mother and she bought me a bracelet exactly the same. I don't understand anymore.

Anxiety
With all the things that are happening right now,
I can't stand this anxiety growing inside of me.
Because of anxiety, I use to throw up a lot.
Now, every time I brush my teeth or cough,
I start to gag.
It's the most horrible feeling in the world.
And no, I'm not trying to gain any fuckin' sympathy.
I'm not bulimic, I'm not anorexic.
I do not care about my weight.
and I do not make myself throw up to lose weight.
I've been like this as a kid.
I've visited doctors left and right
trying to figure out what's wrong with me.
It drives me crazy at night.
Now I have this medication that I can't even stand to take.
Little pale red pills that don't even play their part.
I'm lifeless and emotionless with them.
My life has changed because of them.
Sometimes I can't breathe without them.
But I need to learn to live without them.
It's not an addiction.
It does not give me an escape.
I don't care what you fucking say.
I've been like my whole entire life.

Easter
I miss having Easter at the Ranch.
It use to be so fun.
Then I guess once I got a boyfriend,
I hated it.
I think the last year I was at the ranch
was the first year we went to a different ranch
and the last time we ever spent Easter there.
And now all we go is go to Uncle Louie's house.
I remember last year having a lot of homework for A.P. History.
So I felt like I didn't really get to enjoy it.
I don't know.
Maybe this year will change.

The Tooth Fairy
This probably one of the creepiest little items of news that I have ever seen. And to think that it all happened on March 3rd, my birthday!
"FALMOUTH, Mass. (AP) - A customer shopping at a Walmart told store workers he found 10 human teeth in a wallet he was about to purchase. Police said the man found the teeth Saturday when he unzipped a compartment in the wallet. One tooth had a filling. The customer turned the wallet and the teeth over to employees but left the store without giving his name.
Police investigating the incident told The Cape Cod Times that the teeth belong to an adult, but since there was no blood or gum tissue on the teeth, they would be unable to perform DNA tests.
A Walmart spokeswoman said the company believes it was an 'isolated incident,' but will investigate."

She complicates me with "love".
Then I come to realize I'm in love with total strangers. The more I know about somebody, the more I hate them. The least I know somebody, I tend to fall in love with them. :/ I'm so complicated. I can never figure out myself. I'm in love with a guy because of his words that he writes. I'm in love with a boy for the way his voice sounds through a radio transmitter. I'm in love with a boy because he's not from where I live. I'm in love with a boy because he likes Brian Eno, David Bowie, and Tom Waits. I'm in love with a boy because he dreams with the stars. I'm in love with a boy because no matter how normal he may seem to be, he is the most complex.
Am I just torturing myself?
