I have made a decision. I'm going to live in Morrocco for one year. Do you wanna come?
Ok not really. <333 "Almost Famous" :D
But i have come to a decision of sorts. I'm going to minor in Journalism. Yes. This was hard for me. Yes. haha. Maybe i shouldnt. Maybe i should major in Journalism. I JUST DONT KNOW. But at least i've come to enough to a decision to know that i want to pursue journalism on some level. I may not flaunt it a lot on the internet, but I am a good writer. I've been writing since i was 9 years old, and ive really developed into an excellent writer. Perhaps that may sound a bit over-confident, but when it comes down to it, I know that the one thing i truly do excel at is writing. So yes. I'm still keeping my major in Hospitality Management, but that may change. Soon. :D
I JUST WANT TO DECIDE ON SOMETHING THAT I'M GOOD AT, SOMETHING THAT I'LL LIKE, AND SOMETHING THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO MAKE A BUTTLOAD OF MONEY! haha. At least i'm honest. :D
Starting my first semester of University and doing not too badly. I didnt do as well as I had hoped, but I'll definitely be doing better in the future.
What was your biggest disappointment?
Gradnite 2002. Yeah it was a disaster. Actually, it wasnt as bad as I sometimes make it out to be, but it definitely would have been better if certain people hadnt been around.
Will you be making any New Year's resolutions?
Nope. Never have, never will.
Where will you be at midnight? Do you wish you could be somewhere else?
I'm going to be at this get-together/party thing that my mother is dragging me to with all of her friends. So I'll be stuck on New Years with a bunch of people who are three times my age. Oh yes, I'm SOSOSOSOEXCITED! *cough* And Yes, i absolutely do wish i could be elsewhere.
Aside from (possibly) staying up late, do you have any other new years traditions?
My mom does, but I dont really go along with then. I guess the most "traditional" thing we do is drink Martinelli's sparkling cider with twelve grapes in it. One for each month of the new year, of course. If i dont go out, i usually watch the MTV New Years party thing.
i was gonna make this post like.. HOURS ago, but then i forgot what i was gonna write about. so i thought of something else to write about. and i remembered what the first one was about, and i forgot the second one. WAKE UP, STUPID BRAIN!
ok. so back to the first one. haha i am now OBSESSED with BBC America. Good God, what a great channel. I generally dont watch much tv (unless you count mtv. which is totally lame but whatever, i like some of their shows) BUT BBC AMERICA IS SO GREAT! haha. i fricken stayed up last night until nearly 6 am watching a marathon of the show Coupling. WHAT A FUNNY FRICKEN SHOW. IT IS THE BEST TV SHOW IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. haha. i'm gonna try to watch regularly. if i remember and all. haha. and hello, changing rooms? excellent. and double hello? So Graham Norton? double excellent. gah. i'm such a dork. haha.
i went to the mall with karla. i wasnt gonna, but my mom made me. "you need to get out of this house. LEAVE NOW!" so yeah. everything was ok until we went to Burdines. Generally, i really like that store. but the one in Pembroke Lakes mall is SOSOSOSOTERRIBLE! OHMYGOSH. That place is ALWAYS a mess, even off holidays. and theres always 82284374920183 people there. Ugh. being in that store gave me a nasty headache. I did manage to find a cute wallet. but i didnt buy it. karla did manage to find these cute shoes. but she didnt buy them.
neither of us bought anything besides lunch at Pizza USA. how pathetic are we? sososototally pathetic. i think this is the first time ive gone to the mall and come home empty-handed. oh well. thus is life.
i still cant remember the other thing i was gonna write about. haha
haha. i opened my presents a bit early. My mom got me all these gadgets and things haha. i got:
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (DVD) A DVD PLAYER TO PLAY IT ON. WOO (haha i have one on my comp but now i get to watch it on the big screen tv. !!!! YAAAAAY!!! haha) 2 face pallettes. (eyeshadow, blush and lip colour. one palette was all earthy metallic colors and the other palette was pinks :D ) a makeup book thingie with a stand-up mirror. bwaaahaha. This voice recorder message reminder thing. A camera that takes 4 sequential photos at once. bwahaha my moms so funny. A pretty candle with a Unicorn stopper. To match my Unicorn night light that ive had forever. bwahah the candle smells kinda gross though, so i dont think i'll be lighting it anytime soon... or ever. A photo album that you can record messages onto. :D and this bath set thingie that i dont really like. whatever. i'll probably give it back to my mom so she can use it. :D
i got my mommy a pair of cute shoes and a nice purse to go with them. :D
so i watched LOTR when i got home for the first time ever and OH MY GOSH IT IS SOSOSOSOGOOD! it was so sad. i was all weeping like a geek. then i was like "?!?!?! thats it?! DUDE now i have to go to the movies and see the new one! dkfsdgkdf!!" haha. i'm gonna watch it again later tonight.
and now i'm really really really really hyper and all bouncing off of walls so i'm gonna close up here haha.
DONT FORGET TO LEAVE OUT COOKIES AND CARROTS FOR SANTA AND HIS REINDEER.
oh and everyone tell me what you all got for Christmas. :D
baaaaahaha i didnt want to mention it in my last post because i didnt wanna ruin the post with my own self-righteous stupidity, but karla told me something which i found to be most amusing. AND I'VE MANAGED TO FORGET HOW TO TYPE, THANK YOU SO MUCH, LYRANA. okok anyway.
Miguel, aka My Class' Valedictorian, aka "Harvard Boy", aka someone i dont very well like, is not doing as well as he expected in Harvard. Aw. So So Sad. Now i know i may seem like a big jerk for laughing at his imminent failure, but you must understand that this kid was the hugest, most arrogant gnome-face last year. He said he was going off to Harvard to study neurosurgery. He was in the newspaper 439287321934 times, he was on tv shows, there were CONSTANTLY cameras at my High School last year interviewing this lamernoid. And he was the biggest ham. As karla pointed out, he conducted his speech at graduation like Fidel Fricken Castro himself. "Listen to my words!"
Now generally, i wouldnt give half of this stuff a second thought. However, i just never understood why everyone was paying such attention to this absolutely normal kid who was joining thousands of other people much superior to him at an ivy league school. Why wasnt such attention given to the other people from my city planning on going to Harvard? Why was THIS PARTICULAR BOY picked out of so many who were more deserving? He didnt earn his way up to Harvard. Like most Goleman kids, he cheated his way up there. Valedictorian status really should be based on more than just academic ranking. Truthfully.
Either way, this went from a small amusing point to an overly long rant. haha. The point was, Mr. Neurosurgeon is changing his major. Surprise, Surprise. Whats he changing his major to, Celisse? Oh, yes. He's changing his major from NEUROSURGERY to.. *giggle* LANGUAGE ARTS!
i talked for like 2 and a half hours to Karla. She needed to get her mind off things i think.
Her family's good good friend, Patty, died of Cancer on Thursday. She was there with her when she died. Karla sounded like she was trying to hold back tears when she was talking to me. For the most part we just talked about crap like we usually do. Which is good i guess because i'm sure she just wanted to not think about it for a little while, and she said that Alex had been kinda annoying her.
I didnt know what to say throughout most of the talking about Patty. Thankfully, not many people in my life have died. My Grandparents died, and while i was close with them both, it happened when i was so young. I really dont remember a lot of it. My mother came close to death three times. Two of which were in the past 2 years. It was horrible.
Things like this really kinda make you realize how lucky you are.
I'm gonna give my momma a hug in the morning. We fight a lot, but i'm glad i have her.
Aw i just got the nicest E-Card from Gilsy. Shes so nice. And her speech at graduation was so much better than Miguel's. I wish i'd gotten to know her better in High School. Seems i hung out with people who ended up sucking big ones and missed out on all the great people. haha. :D I should send out E-Cards. At least to like Karla, Marcus, Karen, Lisa and Lora. I should talk to lisa, ive not spoken to her since after graduation, but i see her online a lot. haha. Karen? Yeah she IMs me sometimes. I generally avoid her (high school re-lived??) but shes not so bad. Marcus went off to basic training so i dont know when i'll speak to him again. :(
Miami radio is so horrible. My goodness. Ive been listening to a popular radio station here all day because i want to win a trip to Las Vegas haha. In the few hours ive been listening ive heard: Eminem - Lose Yourself FOUR TIMES Justin Timberlake - Cry Me a River & Like I Love You (or whatever, i forgot the name) FOUR TIMES! Christina Aguilera - Beautiful THREE TIMES Avril Lavigne (barf) - I'm With You FOUR FRICKEN TIMES oh. my. gosh. and as i type this "Skater Boy" just came on. SHOOT. ME. NOW. It seems this station just plays the same 10-15 songs OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER all day. its horrible!
What ever happened to that website, mycaster.com or something? It was so great. you downloaded this little thingie and created a playlist with all your MP3s, and it would stream them all so that you had your own radio station that other people could listen to. And you could see how many people were listening at any given time. It was great. And it also had an option where you could hook up a mic and just do a talk radio show. I loved that site. I think my station was called "Butts 'N Stuff", because it was back in 9th grade when karla and i were obsessed with butts and bodily functions. haha.
MYCASTER.COM, COME BACK!!!
[EDIT] oh my gosh, now to just stab me in the heart, theyre playing that ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE DJ Sammy remake of Don Henley's "Boys of Summer," one of my very favorite songs. They killed killed killed killed this beautiful song. *sob*
either way i'm a hypocrite since i have an LJ BUT STILL. anyway, some girl was offering people paid accounts. she said her dad was a drug dealer and she had money to waste. and people actually took her up on her offer and then they found out that the girl was buying the paid accounts from STOLEN Paypal accounts! how evil is that? so now a bunch of people are having problems and LJ says the people who the paypal accounts belonged to might take legal action.
a day late and a dollar short, its the Friday Five
Dec. 20 What holiday or holidays do you celebrate at this time of year? I celebrate Christmas. Much love to God :D. celisse = huge dork. and does New Years count? haha. yes i celebrate that too. But unfortunately, my mother made plans for me and i wont be doing anything special besides sitting at some banquet/party/get together thing with a bunch of other people who are three times my age. I'M SO EXCITED! but not. ...what was the question?
What was the best gift you have ever received? Aw ive gotten lots of gifts that i really love. My mom got me this really really nice album last year. I'm a huge photo geek so i love albums and things. Anyway, its a frame/album. The front cover is made of wood and its got lots of little frames and stuff. I put all my senior pics in the front haha. The rest of the album is covered in black velvet and it has room for huge portraits and standard like 3x5 or whatever. I <333 it. I also got a really cool telescope for Christmas when i was 12 or 13. It was great. I'd take it outside and look at the moon and stuff. It broke though. :o/ I always wanted to get a lens filter for it, so i could look at the sun. that would have rocked. :D
What was the worst gift you have ever gotten? Hrm... i dony really know. Maybe that little purple plastic wallet from Claires that Karla got me in like 9th grade? haha. i dont know. It was cute but i never used it.
What was the worst gift you've ever given? haha Karla can vouch for me that i'm really really picky when i go Christmas shopping. i never ever ever give anything to anyone that i wouldnt myself like. Unless they specifically ask for it. So there havent been any gifts that i've given that i've really hated.
Where will you be spending the holidays? Are you hosting? Going away? I have no fricken clue. I've already mentioned what i'm doing for New Years but i have no idea about Christmas. I think we may be going to my aunts house or they may be coming here. Its always a "we'll see what happens" type of deal.
If you could spend the holidays with someone who isnt around, who would it be with? Why?" My abuelita. She died in December of 1990. I never really got to know her really well since i was only 5 when she died. But i know that i loved her and that she was a nintendo maniac. :D So i would want to spend it with her because i miss her. Yes. Plus, we could rock out some hardcore gameboy action. :D
ok so i still havent gone Christmas shopping. I need to do that tomorrow but now my mom is all "I'M NOT GONNA TAKE YOU BLAHBLAHBLAH" because we had a fight. Hey, i cant help it if shes lame as whoa. I am SOSOSOBORED but yay my laptop works haha.
i was playing The Sims Online last night. That game is SO addictive. Seriously. I was playing and then i looked at the clock and it was nearly 3am! Its cool but i'm not gonna pay for a membership or anything. its not THAT cool. haha. I DO want the sims Vacation and Unleashed though. I saw Unleashed at the store the other day and had to control my urges to buy it. I'm a sims maniac. :D
I know i've been neglecting my lovely site but i've become bored with it i think. Le sigh. Oh well, i'll pick it up soon, BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS I PROMISE! :D Anyway, i'm in desperate need of some affiliates so if you wanna be listed, EMAIL ME right now! haha :D
after nearly four months of sitting on my bookshelf catching dust, my laptop is FINALLY (almost) fixed. whee! its still got that stupid internal battery problem. once i re-installed win XP and the whole thing was said and done, the date was May 16, (my birthday!! :D ) 3265! so.. yeah. i should look into that bit being fixed. whatever.
A 2.99!? ONE POINT AWAY FROM A 3.0?! DAMNIT! I SHOULD HAVE STUDIED HARDER FOR THAT STUPID SOCIOLOGY MIDTERM. BUT DID I? NOOOOOOO AND WHAT HAPPENED? I EARNED MYSELF A BIG FAT D WHICH RESULTED IN MY GETTING A BLOODY C+ AND THEN I DIDNT EVEN DO THE EXTRA CREDIT PAPER AND NOW WHAT HAPPENS? I HAVE A FREEKIN 2.99!
i was EXPECTING to get a C in math. in fact, i was hoping for AT LEAST a C considering because of bus problems, i hardly showed up to that class at all and i just did horribly. but in SOCIOLOGY!? and i studied so hard for that Final, and still it couldnt save the catastrophe that was my midterm.
GRRR. i will beat myself to a bloody pulp if this happens again. i dont want what happened in High School to happen again to me in College. i refuse to be a slacker anymore, damnit damnit damnit.
When i pick up the phone and hear a recording that says "Please hold for an important message."
My mom
My dogs when they get all insane like
People who are obsessed with television.
People who dont return items from where they came from at stores.
People who let their children run around stores unsupervised.
Children who run around stores unsupervised
Most children in general, actually
Really wanting to watch a movie and then realizing that all of your videos are packed.
People who say 48209284392 times a day how much they want to die. Just do it and get it over with, already.
Avril Lavigne
People who only talk to me when they want something.
People who send me the most annying email forwards (*coughcoughkarencoughcough*)
People who call me a whore because i'm one of three people who wouldnt flock to them with open legs.
Thats it, i guess haha.
I was watching Changing Rooms today. I love that show. I cant wait for the Ab Fab, Changing Rooms and Coupling marathons on BBC America :D Anyway, i was watching, and in one of the rooms they were re-doing, they created this hanging shelf thing that was hung up from the ceiling. The lady who lived there had all these teapots and things and they put the teapots on the hanging shelf thing. There were four shelves and on the one nearest to the celing, they put a bunch of books. So it was like.. Books, Teapots, Teapots, Teapots. Anyway, after they'd finished the room and were ready to unveil, THE WHOLE THING COLLAPSED!! I knew it would collapse. i was like YOU FOOLS, DONT HANG THAT FROM THE CEILING, IT'LL COLLAPSE! the girls who were doing the room just started bawling, it was so sad. ALL the teapots and teacups and things were destroyed. The designer was so upset. she said she'd tell the people who lived there that it was all her fault. Luckily, the girl who lived there was ok with it. I'm sure she was upset but she didnt freak out and say she was gonna sue the show or anything haha. I guess people in England arent as petty as Americans :D
Ok. my Life plans:
Transfer to a university thats not in Miami. Preferably out of state, but if i must stay in state, either Florida State University or University of Central Florida. I'm leaning towards the latter, since i can continue my major very nicely in a tourist capital such as Orlando. If i get the chance to transfer out of state, either Boston University or New York University. But i'm sure i'd NEVER be able to get into NYU, and even if i could, theres no way in bloody hell i'd be able to afford it so there you go.
Finish College
If by the time i graduate, i'm not already there, i want to move to New York. Start my Career there and get my Masters and pursue a film career on the side.
Move to London where i'll pretend to be a native brit :D haha Build my career there and hopefully have a good set of short films under my arm. Hopefully a good name in both industries.
Become insanely rich
Travel all over Europe.
Buy a house in Italy and let my mother live there.
Buy my mother her own live-in maid. Because i'm sick of doing everything for her. dghsdgsl
Leave Europe and move to St. Thomas.
Make movies.
Retire and live on the beach until my death. :D
Other possible life careers:
Interior Design
Journalism
Fiction Writing
In other news, i dyed my hair again last night. i didnt do it with any of my mothers help since she managed to turn the top orange last time. i like it very much, it came out nice. its a little more red than i'd wanted, but it looks better than other people ive seen. :D
this was a long entry. but i havent had a good entry in a while so this makes up for lost time. :D
ok so the show went well. i did pretty well. my acting partner disappeared. her best friend was like "she told me she was coming! but ive called and called and she hasnt called back" so uh.. yeah. shes a bitch. if i ever see her again, i may very well kick her ass from here to yesterday.
i got paired up with this girl, Krystal. i like her better. she had to read off the book, but she was doing it for extra credit anyway. her scene was really good. :D
we did well. i had a couple of brain lapses but nothing major. i screwed up but no one noticed :D everyone was like "haha you were really good! i liked it a lot!" whee. happy happy :D
Christina's scene was really funny. she kept saying it wasnt, but everyone was cracking up. :D i had to touch this guy's brother's underwear. not cool. i also found some weird ass underwear in the prop room. my initial reaction: *grab* HAH LOOK WHAT I FOUND! *pause* *drop* OH EW EW EW EW!" it was fun :D we also found this stanky ass soggy tee shirt with the hugest yellow sweat stains. it was gross.
now i have to study for my math exam because i wasnt home all day. ugh. i dont think i'll be able to sleep tonight. how majorly sucky.
i have to write a paper tomorrow. its due on tuesday. and ive had like 58290283 YEARS to do it but i'm waiting for tomorrow. as usual. i'm such a nerd.
i dont want to do my acting final. Good God, please make my acting partner disappear so i dont have to do it with her. *sob*
?! my mom told me that my right eye is going all sideways so now i keep looking at my eyes obsessively to see if its true. !!! :( i dont want to have a lazy eye like my MATH PROFESSOR! *sob* help! what do i do!? does getting glasses fix this?! because i need glasses anyway. *SOB*
YOU WOULD HANG YOURSELF. you both crave and fear death. you're fairly certain that you wouldn't actually commit suicide, but you often fantasize about it because you can't think of any other way to escape living a life that you hate. you're wary about doing anything irreversible and you have a healthy awareness of the repercussions of your actions.
i would never ever kill myself. i'm too arrogant to do that. but whatever. *shrug*
whee. i just picked up my paper from my english class and i got a big fat A. :D haha she put the rest of my grades plus my final grade on the paper too and i got a big fat A- :D haha i would have gotten a 4.0, but i got a B on the first in class writing assignment. whaaaaaatever, i'm a pretty happy camper on the school front. in other news, my sociology professor was nice enough to give us an extension on our extra credit papers. which is good since i still havent done it yet? yeah. so i should work on it this weekend. no school tomorrow or friday. yay. but yeah i'm gonna have to come in tomorrow anyway since i need to turn in a book to the library. ergh.
lah. i'm bored now. sitting in the library is the anti-cool. i want to go home and sleep for a few years dude. except its really hot at home :o/ and my dog is ANNOYING.
ugh what a waste of a fricken day. i went to english. did my little in class writing assignment. ok that was fine.
i go to acting class. is my partner there? nope. i was a little worried considering we were supposed to be rehearsing our scene in front of the class today. and we were the first up. so i sit and wait a bit. nope, still not there. still waiting. nope. STILL not there. at this point, i'm bloody annoyed. this dumbass girl has flaked out on me FOUR TIMES NOW. maybe SHE doesnt need to practice (WHICH IS A LIE CONSIDERING SHE HAS NONE NONE NONE NONE NONE OF HER LINES MEMORIZED) but i do. i have most of my lines memorized but we still need to practice blocking and what not. i have HAD IT with this girl. ANYWAY so professor neal's looking pretty irriteated to begin with, considering a bunch of people are missing from the class. then to top it off, some guy comes into the auditorium and is all "Hi. theres going to be a movie screening in here around Noon and we need to set up. Jenny said she'd scheduled you for a different room." at which point professor neal just gets pissed off. he was like "No forget it i'll just cancel class." and he threw something at the bottom of the stage and then got on stage and started literally kicking around furniture. he said something like "why bother, none of these people ever come to class anyway so its cancelled."
...
thats what i have to say about the damn thing. ive missed like 1 day of class since we began the scenes, and it was absolutely necessary because i had to go to court with my mom for something about my dad dude. my partner, on the other hand, has missed FOUR DAYS since we began rehearsal. damnit. i really dont like her A LOT. i'm totally going to the top with this if i get a bad grade because of her stupid ass. damnit.
lalala i am sosososososobored dude. i'm sitting in the library. when does that ever happen? gar. someone save me from this misery? :D
lah. i'm tired. i had a bunch of really bad dreams last night. i dont know what that was about. all demony and stuff. wigged me out quite a bit. uh... ok i'm still bored. and people keep giving me the evil eye. LKSDFJGSDF bye
