From the Diary of Frances Mandawe

Dec 14~ It's 8:08 amd and here i am online when I'm supposed to be doing homework that I should have done last night. whatever. I have 42 minutes il school starts anyway. HM......maybe I should leave now, maybe on the way we can grab something to eat because there is no breakfast food here in my house. Um...okay that's all for now. I'll write later unless my brother drags me to the mall because he decided he wanted to get his "girlfriend" something. *gag* Hasta!

Dec 8~ "Answer the phone, I know that you're home, I wanna get you alone, and do it again, do it again. . ." That's the song of the day. You gotta love Sugar Ray. Hey! That rhymes! *sigh* I need to get a life. Anyway, I'm kinda bored and I already went to the mall today to amuse myself so I don't have anything else to do. Oh my, the "view" was great! I was in Hot Topic and I was looking at the cds when I look up and next to me was a guy in blue hair. If you didn't already know, I kinda have a thing for guys with blue hair. Well I had to really hold myself back from jumping the poor kid. I don't know if he was cute or not, but the blue hair said it all. teehee. Then we went to Tower and i got this punk compilation cd. That was my day. And there's still a whole lot to it. I guess tomorrow will be even more boring, especially since it's a Sunday. *ugh* I really want mom to come home so that I can get into her account and change my other screen name. I have a really great idea for a new screen name. Yeah, that's how bored I am!

Dec 6~ "Communication is a lot like the wind, when I speak, it's like no one understands and I'm left with empty hands forever. . ." That song was stuck in my head. So last night's choir concert was so much fun. I think it was the best one we've ever had. And our group solo. . .oh my gosh. It was the highlite of my night. I wasn't as nervous about it until the moment we walked up to the mike, then my heart started beating faster. But it was all good in the hood. I really wanna do something like that again because the experience was ineffable. *sigh* I don't have anything else to say really. But I do have a fun picture.

This picture was taken at Legoland in San Diego. The only reason I did this was because I was so bored after a few hours there. This themepark consisted of mainly little boys ranging from 0 to 12 years old. There wasn't much to look out if you know what I mean. Although I did have fun shoving the apple fritter thingy in my mouth. It was damn good. That's all. No more. Goodbye.

Dec 4~ Today we had choir rehearsal after school because tomorrow is the concert. I wasn’t as nervous as i thought i would be when we did our group solo. but then again, the church was empty except for the two choirs and some other people. i just hope that i dont get too nervous tomorrow and screw it up for everyone. *sigh* i just have to keep telling myself that the church is empty and that i should smile. breath. see, i invited “Nick” and i dont know if he’s even going. i kinda do want him there but at the same time, i dont because thats me and it will only make me more nervous. well i guess i should go now and study for the music history “celebration” (aka test) *yuck* but that class isnt so bad and that stuff we just learned is easy, at least for me. the room i am in smells like a bathroom. that was my random thought for the day. woo-hoo! oh! ok, after having my scanner for 3 years, i finally figured out who to make the pictures bigger and smaller even before i scan them! its so exciting cuz now i can scan magazine pictures and the file wont be huge because i can make them small. see, i never got a users manual for my scanner so i pretty much had to figure it out on my own, because no one else knew how to use it. i feel slightly smarter. . .or not. whatever. its just exciting. now i’m gonna go run to my room and get that magazine with josh hartnett on it so that i can scan his hot picture! LOL. that’s all!

Dec 3~ Yay! Jimmy Eat World finally made it on Kwod’s 7 top most requested songs of the day. And last week, the wouldn’t play their song when i requested it about 50 million times a day. okay, maybe not that much, but still. So today I had my brother pick up the film that i developed 2 weeks ago and when i got the pictures, they turned out to be pictures from around prom time last year. i didn’t go to prom but my two best friends did and so their picture was there. they are so cute. ugh, must do homework *gag*

Dec 2~ Do i feel offended right now? yes i do. but i won't say how or what happened. but it hurts here *point to heart* ok, i'm overreacting but whatever. so on friday we finally got our homecoming pictures. i had a quick choir practice and then i went to my locker twice (forgot some books out on the lawn) so that when i finally went to the horrendous (is that a word?) line there wasnt a line for the people whose last names begin with j-q, or something like that. anyway, i was lucky that i didnt have to wait in line and some freshman was like "shes sooo lucky." damn straight! anyway, the pictures are cute. ok, im not supposed to be online right now, and i have to go anyway to make my brother's chocolate shake. im freezing my ass off and he wants a chocolate shake. whats up with that yo?

Nov 29~ Death to college applications! I just woke up from a great two hour nap cuz I just realized that I still have to work on my app for Davis which is due tomorrow. I still have to write an essay! Yucky! But my fingers are too cold to type, I can't really see well out of my right eye and friends is on! Hm. . . today was a good day. I really like music history esp. the fact that ms. greene. my favoritest teacher in the world, is teaching it. =) Then I have math with Mandy and Mary (trouble right there!) and then the other classes are. . . blah. I don't really have much to say. I wanna see "Not Another Teen Movie" because Good Charlotte plays a cover band in the movie! Yay for that! Ok, now I'm done. I'm out yo!

Nov 28~ So apparently SOMEONE (i wont say who) doesn't like eve6. LOL. I'm not bitter or anything. Just wanna put that person in the spotlight! anyway, im almost done filling out 1 (count 'em 1) application for college. i'm only doing one right now because its due in two days. yeah, can we say procrastinate? hehe. well i think i mentioned scanning 14 new pictures and im too lazy to post them in the "photo booth" so i'll put them here until i move them. here they are:

Emily, andrea's little sister

mandy coming out of the bathroom

mandy being scandalous at school

the good ol' lost and found bin

i love that lost and found bin

Traci and her umbrella

mandy on the garbage can

Shannon and Mary

Carmy at her locker. how many pictures of me can you spot in her locker?

Lea and Hannah

homecoming in my homeroom

Check out ms wallior the fairy

mandy,traci, me and mary

traci and mandy singing their ode to **** *******

i hate having my picture taken. this is me and good ol'robert (his favorite band is eve6!!! or not!)

this was after the homecoming dance when everyone was all hot and sweaty. you know like after an orgy only people still have their clothes on! j/k notice how kristin was cut off

well i hope all the links work! my back hurts and i seriously need a personal masseuse. speaking of masseuses, i was taking the "which friend are you test" and i got phoebe, even though we arent alike. maybe i'll take that test again. i was hoping to be chandler. i can relate to him more! i guess thats it from me for now. im tired and its 11:09 and i still have homework to do.

Nov 25~ EW. i had an icky dream last night. actually it was more of a nightmare. i was out on a date with someone (wont say who) and that someone was cuddling me at the movie theater and i fell asleep in his arms. *shudders* i want to throw up. *gag* ok, think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts. so i woke up from an unpleasant sleep and i open the fridge and theres nothing to eat but turkey. i've had enough of that and the two pies that we have. must go grocery shopping. safeway finally hired a new hot guy so now i dont think its too bad shopping there now. but grocery shopping is getting to be a chore and i really dont like doing it anymore. i guess if i stopped going to bel air with my friends and making an ass of myself, people there wouldnt give me those weird looks. whatever, they know they want this! LOL. oh dear, the hunger is starting to get to me. I'm sorry was that YOUR chocolate cake? Oh, I uploaded 14 new random pictures of me and my friends. If I did put them up, check them out.

*ten minutes later* so i had a thought. i remember when, back in the day, we used codes names for the people we liked. or for people that we thought were cute and didnt know their names quite yet. like there was this guy at Denny's who was doing his calculus homework and we used to call him mr. calculus. So now im going to go off to my room and think of a good name for the good guy and the icky guy. =)

Nov 24~ *changes batteries in cd player* Out of depression from missing good charlotte the other night, I spent my ticket money on a Jimmy Eat World cd. Last month when my friends and I were on a day out we listened to Traci's Jimmy Eat World cd all day(and repeatedly if i may add) because she doesnt believe in the radio. Well I fell in love with that band so I bought the cd. That and I only had $10 so I couldn't afford Puddle of Mudd or Nickelback or any other cds quite yet. But that's okay because JEW is cool. let's talk about thanksgivsng's episode of friends. i thought it was hilarious. and brad pitt, he has his moments of hotness and this was one of them. other than that im not a real big brad fan. but this week was hilarious. then i had to miss will and grace and ER. *sigh* i wish my whole life were a tv sitcom. you know, where all your problems are solved in 30 minutes or less and theres even a commercial break. anyway, thats enough randomness from me.

Nov 20~ ok, todays finals sucked. but thats okay because tomorrow i dont have to take a final for anything cuz its only choir and short story. so i was checking out the venue for the gc show in sf today and i saw that it was sold out!!!!! i have been waiting for a year and a half to see good charlotte and the closest they are coming is san francico and i was soo ready to go, but then i saw two of the worst words put together. SOLD OUT! right now im screaming. im dying. because all their other shows are in san diedo and la and i doubt i can go to those. why cant any cool band come to sacramento? so someone suggested that i wait out front the night of the show and some one is bound to sell their tickets. *sigh* why do we always have the bad luck of wanting to go to a show badly and then when we go to buy our tickets, its sold out? this is the second time in a month!!!! is someone up there trying to tell me something? *screams* ugh!!!!!

Oct. 22~ Tonight was the Michelle Branch/The Calling/Lifehouse show at the crest theater. We were supposed to go but the show sold out a while ago and we didn't know until a week or two ago when we were calling The Beat to see what time they closed to buy tickets and they said "oh, we're not selling those tickets." Then I call Crest and they said the show was sold out =(. This saddens me. But then Mandy told me that Good Charlotte was gonna be coming and I said, OH! So we are going to that That is, if the show doesn't sell out. *curses* So we were at Apple Hill this weekend and mother of pearl, there was a lot of food. That made me happy. Oh, there was also a pretty boy that I was stalking and he made an attempt to stalk me back. I like how my stories are all the same. . .they all involve pretty boys. Well my life doesn't get any more pathetic than that. I did a "Carmy" yesterday by doing a journal and my choir reflection (both 2 pages long) so that I had time to work on my english lit essay today and tomorrow. But see me not doing the essay today. Which means that I will be up late tomorrow night working on my essay for "Sons and Lovers." That was a good book, but I have to do a secondary source essay which means I have to find cliff's notes or another reference book to use on my essay. I can't check out any books from the roseville library because I owe a lot of overdue fines and that is the only good library in my area that has alot of good books. Which means that I either have to find another library to go to or I pay the fines that I owe. I'm going to another library. My money is going to the local band show that I'm going to this weekend and that's where I have to meet my possible homecoming date thanks to my dear friend. Okay, maybe this would be the perfect time to go look up stuff for my essay. By the biscuit, if you ever try to IM me and I have the away message, it's probably cuz I'm too lazy to type or there's someone on and I don't want to talk to that person. Just so ya know! Either that or I'm really studying! P.S. Check out travis pastrana in my flavor of the week!

Oct 19~ Mother of pearl i need a homecoming date and its november 3rd which is what? less than two weeks away? yeah, i have no date. why on earth did i go to an all girls school? *sigh* let's not get into taht now. . .well i AM going that's for sure. too bad i cant find like a josh/travis/noah look alike. speaking of noah wyle, he's gotten hotter since the last time i saw him which was eighth grade when george clooney was still there. so for the past three weeks i have been watching it. anyway, i have a lot of essays due this week and tests/quizzes. to procrastinate or not to procrastinate? LOL. if there are any hot white boys that wanna go to our homecoming and have two more friends, then let me know!

Oct 16~ Well today was an interesting day. The day started out with the trip to the cathedral downtown because we had a senior liturgy. ( There was our school as well as the seniors from Jesuit, St. Francis, Christian brothers and two other schools I don’t know). So we had to pick up mandy who lived in the area and we were early so we had to wait for half an hour while she went around “getting ready.” then we left and we got there still early and there were sooo many people. did I mention hot and pretty boys? yeah, there was a plethora (vocab word) of hotties running around waiting to be jumped. yeah, mandy was harassed by a scary guy when we walking to the cathedral. so the mass goes on and then its done and we see people, talk to them and leave. we go to subway to buy sandwiches. I saw alot of people that I haven’t seen in forever and I even talked to some of them. anyway, we went to Joey’s (Mary’s boyfriend) house because she was gonna decorate his room to ask him to homecoming ( too bad I cant do that to anyone) and we had some fun there. we even got flavored condoms because he got them as a prize or something. then we drove Erin, Mary and mandy home. then the fun started with traci and me. first we drive by someone’s house and take pictures of it(!) Then we drive by that carwash place on madison and garfield where hot boys work and we wanted to take a picture (did i mention that i had two cameras with me?) so she pulled into the enter only thing and she couldn’t turn into the part of the place where the hout boys were so we drove straight ahead to were the cars were prepped before actually getting washed. the guys were like, “what are you doing?” and traci said she just wanted to cut through and they were laughing. but then another guy didnt know what we were doing so he started writing on her window and she turns to him and literally yells “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” It was sooo funny. i could not stop laughing and i was hurting from all the laughing. then we drove by again this time from the street trying to take a picture but it didnt work out cuz a guy was watching us shaking his head. man, if this is us as seniors imagine us as college students when we have more freedom. i dont think the world is ready for us. =)

Oct 15~ Um, this past sautrday i took the SATs. . .no comment! I hope I can take it again before I apply to all my colleges cuz seriously, i think i did bad =( So I really have to do good for my SAT IIs. I was at this one site that i had in my favorites and i havent been to it in for ever, and it belongs to this hot guy. I'm thinking he's a freshman in college cuz he was talking about it and blah, blah, blah. He goes to UCLA. He actually used his site to write journal entries and everyone he knows reads it. When i go away to college, that's wha I'll do so that it will save me on writing so many emails =) I'm gonna apply to UC Davis (tooooo close to home), USF, Loyola Marymount (L.A. baby!) and maybe UC Santa Cruz, L.A. state and CalPoly. I really wanna go to USF or Loyola. But mom wants me to go to Davis. anyway, do you like how the background here doesnt match the upper part of this page? yeah, me too. i have to find time to redo it. 17 days to find a frickin' homecoming date. if only i could buy one. . .

Sept 30~ So last night was the Toga Dance at our school and personally I thought it was really fun. Maybe it’s because I’m a senior and it’s my last Toga Dance, I dunno. Traci, Mary, Amanda and I went together in matching Togas. It was purple with sequiny things and it was pretty. We also had a bright pink boa, a gold crown and harry potter glasses. This whole outfit won us the most enjoyable toga category. They called us the Harry Potter girls. LOL. (There will be pictures later.) I think that Amanda and I embarassed Mary and Traci when we were out on the dance floor, so they would disappear on us. =) It was just really fun. I’ve learned that when someone tells you something, it means nothing to you until you find it out for yourself. Like other girls tell us that you can always have fun without boys. How true is that? I didn’t care about a date last night. I was just having fun with my friends. I think it’s so much better to make a fool of yourself in public with your friends, esp. in the presence of the opposite sex. So then, I couldn’t sleep until 3 am last night cuz I was so wired up. I had very little sleep (which is something you need esp. when you are sick like me) and I had to go to soccer this morning. Good times, Good times. I still have a lot of homework to do. . .

Sept. 16~ Okay, it has been forever and a week since I have said anything here. And quite a few things has happened since then. First I went to see Radiostar’s (traci’s brother’s band) last show. They were really good and it’s too bad they had to break up to go back to college. =( So that was fun. Then for school I have a class where I go out to volunteer for service hours (hence the name of the class “service”) and I T.A. for a second grade teacher next to our school (the kids are sooo cute). On sundays I also “coach” mentally/physically disabled kids to play soccer and buddy them on the field. Ans these kids are sooo cute too. I love them esp. the kids on my team. I wish I had learned about this before so I could have done it for the previous years’ service hours. Then on Setp. 11 was the WTC incident. Now that is such tragedy. That could have happened to anyone in any city. I’m just glad I don’t know anywhere there that could have been hurt or killed, but I do fell sorry for those who do have someone there. I’m just so proud of how this country can pull together and show their patriotism. Even my school is decorated with american flags. I just hope that this never happens again.

Aug 30~ The only highlight of my day was seeing Chuck. (sad i know). So mom had to works PMs today and so I went off to bel air to pick up my claritin and there he was working. those two minutes with him were great. *sighs* like i said my life can’t get any more pathetic. he is so adorable. anyway, i’m kinda bummed cuz i really wanted to see blink 182, sum 41, new found glory and fenix tx play the KWOD really big show, but no one can take us cuz mom is working all day. none of my friends are going cuz i dont think they really like the bands. so this would have to be the second time that i miss blink 182 AND sum41. they won’t be coming back for another year. *whine, whine, whine* LOL i was also at walgreens today and i didn’t know that they actually have figures for the motocross-ers (i.e. travis pastrana) they have all the cool guys. but the store didnt have any of travis or brian deegan so i’m gonna go to a toy store one day and find it so that i can scare travis by showing him how obsessed i am with him.

Aug 29~ Yeah, I’ve been watching “kissing a fool” and the x-games way too many times. I have nothing better to do. I even have a countdown until I see Travis Patrana in person (177 days). whoo-pee! so my mom and i were doing a little grocery shopping today and she didn’t find her laundry detergent at safeway so we had to go to longs which was two stores away. so as we were walking, i saw a cute guy in the parking lot getting out of his car. So I was practically staring at him and i didn’t realize that he was watching me. (i thought he was looking at something else). He was headed towards blockbuster which is in between safeway and longs. He didn’t take his eyes off of me while walking to blockbuster. made me wish my mom wasnt there with me. i dunno if he thought i was “hot” (me and hot don’t belong in the same sentence) or there was something wrong with me. i was paranoid. yeah that was my story for the day. i’m not bragging about what happened because this never (and i mean NEVER) happens to me especially since he happened to be a cute, white boy. I’ll bet it was what he was smoking! LOL

Aug 28~ 6 days of freedom left. I rented “Kissing A Fool” and “Blowdry.” “Kissing A Fool” is such a cute movie! David Schwimmer and Jason Lee are in it. And I must say that Jason Lee and his hands are very pretty. and “Blowdry” was an interesting english movie about a hairdressing competition. Josh Hartnett is in it and he has a fake english accent which isn’t very good, but his hotness makes up for it. =)

August 25~ It’s been sooo long since I last posted and much has happened since then. First, we went on a mini vacation to L.A. I absolutely LOVE it there. I know that I would love to live there for a while. So we went to Disneyland, California Adventure, Legoland (in san diego), and Universal Studios. It was all sooo much fun. *sigh* I wish we didn’t have to leave. I think that’ll be a great place to go after graduation next summer. Few days ago Traci and I went to see “American Pie 2.” It was hilarious, and the soundtrack kicks ass. The next day we were supposed to see eve6 at the state fair, but max has laryngitis and so they canceled that show. I hope they come back. =( Yeah, I was kinda bummed cuz I even made a sign and all my friends were gonna be there to see me make a fool of myself. Did I mention my new found love for the X games? Oh my gosh, I hate watching sports but the X games has to be the best. I particularly love skateboarding and motocross. And there’s this motocross “wonderboy” named Travis Pastrana and I love watching him ride! And if Joey stays true to his word, I get to meet Travis in February!!!!!! In 181 days I get to see and (hopefully) meet Travis! I’m so excited! That’s all from me today. Later!

”So Cal is where my mind states, but it’s not my state of mind. . .” ~ eve6

Aug 2~ It's 4:00 pm and I'm bored as hell. I home alone too and mom is working late. So I have absolutely nothing to do and nothing to watch. Can't drive so I can't go out and all my friends are probably working. Blah, blah, blah. I've noticed something. SweetPea is always wearing the same shirt whenever I see him in interviews or other appearances that the band makes. Either it's his favorite shirt or his only shirt. No, I don't think it's the latter cuz he has a lot of cool shirts and I wish I had cool shirts like him. I just have too many pairs of pants and shorts, but I never have a shirt to wear them with. Anyway, the stalking begins in 8 days. Yay! *sigh*

Aug 1~(more thoughts)OMG, my life is getting even more pathetic as the days go by. We went school supplies shopping and we were looking at a bunch of folders when we spotted some with wrestlers on it. I actually bought two folders, one with Chyna and the other with Chris Jericho. So mom, Kevin and I each have a folder with Jericho on it. This reminds me of those days when I used to like the Power Rangers. (that of course was in the 6th grade). It’s all going downhill!

August 1~Mom and I were talking the other night and decided that my type were blondes. When you think about it, not all guys that I’m attracted to are blonde. But thats what she decided. Really hair color doesn’t matter, but skin color does. LOL. And I’m not being racist or anything. But tall, lanky, white guys are the ones for me =)

July 31~ I hate the dentist. After I got my filling done, he told me that my tooth (that just got drilled) and the area around it would be sensitive for a few weeks. Well it was the upper left part of my mouth that is supposed to be affected. But its the lower left part of my mouth that hurts. I can’t drink a cold beverage or eat ice cream without wincing in pain. I hate chewing with only one side of my mouth. Anyway, I finished reading “The Green Mile” in 2 days and “Where the Heart is” in one day. I loved the movie versions so much that I had to read the books =) Too bad “there’s something about mary” isn’t a book.

July 30~ I'm watching wrestling while typing this. I'd like to say that I am a Jerichoholic fan =) He won the match just now. It was quick one too so it kinda sucks. But he won! yay! So check my flavor of the week link. there's new pretty boys to please your eyes and mine.

July 27~ Yeah the other night was weird cuz first I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and then the lights went out. So i peed in the dark. We had a blackout and all our appliances were acting weird. the microwave was making a buzzing sound and the tv's clock kept flashing and making noises. So when I did go to sleep I had a dream about chris jericho (wwf wrestler) and we were taking a picture and I was embracing him. Yeah, too bad that cant happen in real life. maybe not yet anyway. Then today I got my contacts and i can see the world clearly. I can look at all the pretty boys and not squint which makes me look funny. I also bought a new ball chain choker to replace "max" my original one. the balls (hehe) are bigger and it doesnt feel quite the same. it's like i'm cheating on "max." this one i'm gonna call "jon." Pathetic i know, but it keeps me happy. 14 days until we disappear!!!! If you get a postcard from me then you'll know what i mean.

July 23~ So today, I have put up all my past entries because I never really had the time to do it before and mom wants us to spend less time online which is absolutely ridiculous. We went to Bel Air the other day and we discovered a Josh Hartnett look-alike. Yeah, that’s pretty much the only time that I got out of the house these past four days. Can life get anymore exciting? Eve6 is on *gag* TRL today. Gonna go watch it... Check out my superfran Comic done by Laura Brimberry. Click here! It might take a bit to load.

July 19~ *sigh* Boredom has lead me to arrange my cds in alphabetical order. That’s something Carmy would do and she would be so proud of me. I also applied to Old Navy today. They weren’t hiring but they’ll keep my application “on file.” The first manager that I talked to didn’t know that so he did the interview part 1. I was hoping he’d ask questions, bu instead we had to do role playing. I was supposed to convince him to apply for a credit card. Yeah that was...interesting. i know someone’s gonna roll their eyes when they read the next few words, but it’s true: he’s a cutie. Mom cut off about 4 or 5 inches of my hair at my request.

July 18~ I just realized that today is Tony’s (from eve6) birthday. he’s 23 years old...i think. Josh Hartnett’s birthday is on the 21st and he’s 23 as well. Anyway, today we saw Jurassic Park 3. Geez, there was a hell of a lot of people and we had to wait in line before we could get seated. But the movie was good. I don’t even remember what happened in the last two movies. *shrugs* Oh well. Then I finally called Mrs. Barboza (she called about my class schedule) and it turns out that I did get into Bio 2 honors but it is scheduled at the same time as choir and I had to pick between the two. I took choir. She offered me honors Physics and if we remember physics from freshman year, it wasn’t very fun. So I ended up with Meterology, Astronomy, and Geology. I wonder what the hell I’m getting myself into.

July 15~ Um, this little story applies to two other people that I know. I had a dream about Aaron Carter the other night. It was the first day of school and (our school went under a "makeover" if you will) so in my dream I was lost. So I had to go to the office to get a late pass, but then there was a sign saying that I didn't need one so on my way back to class I ran into Aaron. So I was like, "AARON! (I hug him) You are soooo adorable! I wish you were my brother!" Then I gave him a noogie and he was laughing and we walk to class together (keep in mind that i do go to an all girls school) Okay, that's it. But I thought, why the fruit am i dreaming of him. Maybe tonight I will dream of...oooooh!!! Today was the one year death anniversary of my friend and afterwards there was shindig. I got to "model" a shirt with a really cool button that says "Fran ware" so i stole it! (sh!)Then there was this hot blonde and i tried to take his picture using my friends and he saw me do it (rats!). Then I met up with old friends. Blah, blah, blah. Now I'm hungry.

July 13~ OOOOH, Spooky day...whatever.So here’s the update on my boring and mundane (is that the right word?) life. I deicided to give this place a temporary and bright new look. Why? Because I have no life and this keeps me busy. *shrugs* Then I saw Scary Movie 2 on the fourth of July. It wasn’t as funny as the first one, but it was funny. Check out that Chris Masterson. He’s adorable. And after months of waiting, I finally bought the Good Charlotte cd. It’s a good thing I waited because they rereleased the cd with another track called “The Click” which is the theme song for Undergrads, the new MTV animated series. I love that cartoon. It airs again July 22 at 8pm. This week was a bad week because of things happening in the family. I’ll keep that on the hush hush. And today I just spend three hours under the sun to see WWF wrestlers, Rakishi and Ivory. Personally they aren’t my favorite, but we went to see them anyway and try to win tickets to Raw is War. We didn’t get the autographs although we were sooo close as well as the tickets (again we were sooo close to winning). We did manage to get a few pictures of the two. I swear, if it were any other wrestler, we would be there at 7 in the morning. Two years ago I wouldn’t have been caught dead doing something like this. I hope to one day meet (wrestling-wise) Chris Jericho, the Hardy Boys, and Too Cool. I think my lips and feet are sunburnt because they hurt. That’s my pathetic life for now.

July 1~ So today was an interesting day. We went to Best Buy to buy a controller for the dreamcast, and went home with a t.v. as well. Man, the people that go there are HOT. I could sooo hang out there in my spare time. *Whew* Then I was playing my game when the doorbell rang and I opened the door and unexpectedly found Mary and Traci. So I took them to Bel Air w/o my mom knowing and we had our fun. We then went to the park with Gery and watched the fireworks (pre-fourth of july celebration). Then we went home good times, good times. *sigh* I need a life. And thursday, *gasp* I'm gonna see keith, the guy i've been obsessing over for the past 6 years. We're going "swimming" and hopefully he'll be there! YAY!!

June 29~ Yeah, I'm not going to Warped Tour, which sucks. Maybe next year. *shrugs* I'll never see Good Charlotte. Anyway, I had another cool dream. This time it was about Josh Hartnett. We were at the beach and I just remember chasing him and he wasn't wearing a shirt and he ran out of breath and sat down. I sat next to him and I was being pushed closer and closer to him. I tried to move away so he wouldn't get all mad and he got up and told me he would be back. He came back and he sat on the other side of me and we laughed at the people who were hit by the waves. Yep, good times.

June 27~ Yeah, contacts are still blurry, so if there are any errors in this paragraph, i have an excuse. I finished reading "Memoirs of a Geisha" in two days. Interesting book. I also read "Mayor of Casterbridge" which is a really twisted story and so now I'm on to "The Grapes or Wrath." Yeah, that's my life for ya. Did I mention the really cute referee at my brother's basketball games? He has to at least be in h.s. and he slightly resembles Keith (my obsession for the last 6 years) which is really exciting. Too bad I don't know enough to stalk him, like his NAME. *sigh* "That's why I'm alone." (~will from will and grace) yeah, i agree with Will. So there's NO food in the house and the fridge is empty which leaves me to eat whatever I can find. well im done for today...

June 22~ So my contacts are blurry as hell again and i can't see anything clearly. i might as well be blind, which sucks cuz then i cant see all the pretty people in the world. =) But that's the least of my worries. I have two biggie problems that i have to resolve by the end of the month. i just wish this month was over with. anyway, eve6 was on TRL today. AAAWWW. And our radio station is doing a contest that involves eve6 and las vegas. hm...i dont exactly wanna listen to that station and wait for the signal to call in to be entered in a drawing to see them in vegas. i'll clean a toilet before i listen to that station for a WHOLE weekend. speaking of the guys, i had a dream about them the other night. It was four hours before their show and they were doing a meet and greet on a picnic table in a parking lot(???? i dunno) and we were there. there werent that many people cuz they were gonna be there for four hours. So i went up to the left side of the table where Max was and he was kinda distracted, so i went to the right side where Jon and Tony were. I was giving them the cd cover to sign and Jon turns to me and says "I sign better on ticket stubs." I'm thinking "what the hell?" so i bust out all my previous eve6 concert ticket stubs and i showed him that he already signed them, so he pulled out a movie ticket stub that he went to and handed it to Tony to sign. They were taking a long time do this so I sat at the table with them (keep in mind this was at a rickety picnic table) and as soon as i sat down i felt a sharp poke on my butt. i screamed explitives and was looking around to make sure my mom didnt hear me while Jon and Tony were laughing their asses off. I gave them the meanest look, but they signed my stuff and I went home. Ah,at least im dreaming about them and not about something traumatic like the death of my mom or dog. Those dreams were horrible. Anyway, we're supposed to go to the drive in tonight and see Pearl Harbor again. Hopefully. Who doesnt wanna see Josh Hartnett again and again and again? UM, I still need a job and I have 8 days until the vans warped tour, that is if mom will let me go. *crosses fingers* I'm out!

June 4~ Well today I finally saw Pearl Harbor, as well as Shrek. Yes two moves in one day, and we did pay both times. Pearl Harbor was great and sad. Like Ben and Josh, whew. But one of them dies =(. Very sad movie, I wanna see it again. Shrek, yeah that was a really funny movie. I laughed at almost every scene. . . Good times. I scanned more pictures. go check them out!

May 25~ I have three days of school left, how great is that? Then hopefully traci and I will be working. when we get a job that is. we have two reasons for getting a job and i'll bet you can guess them correctly if you know us well enough. 1)the money and 2)the guys. We narrowed it down to starbucks or noah's bagels. we have other options but thats our "last resort." (aka the jobs we'll end up having). Yay! Pearl Harbor came out today. According to mom we will see it after my finals, which means that we'll never see it all, so i may as well go with my friends sometime soon. Three reasons why i wanna see that: 1)the whole WWII thing interests me. 2)Josh Hartnett. and 3)Ben Affleck. Need I say more? Good times, Good times. That's all from me.

May 22~ Well a lot has happened since May 6th. Nothing interesting, but whatever. Today Traci and I went on job hunt. There are a lot of stores hiring, but she decided that we weren't gonna work at a store where ther would be whores. *shrugs* thats pretty much every clothing store, besides department stores. So we currently have an application to KayBees, The Sweet Factory, Learning Express (really fun toy store) and Starbuck's (for the hot customers). Yay! Hm, last week mom turned blocked all my incoming emails and IMs, so really I couldnt go on the internet. Our choir concert rocked the house, the choir slide show was hell to work on, but in the end it came out really great. I'm supposed to be doing my spanish report and school's almost out. Yay!

May6~ Has it been that since I last wrote here? I guess it has. Well, first of all I didn't go to prom. Part of it was me, the other part was my "date." So Amanda and I went to see local bands, were we also saw some hotties. Then we hung out at her house while waiting for Traci and the others show up. Traci was soooo cute. I will post pictures when I get them developed. I finished my term paper today. I have a plant book to do. Next friday is our choir concert. I didn't make it to chamber choir. I don't think I mentuioned part two of chamber choir tryouts where only 12 of the sopranos had to come in and sing again. Well I was one of them and we had to sing solo. She told us that at the audition and I got so scared that I was shaking when it was my turn. I did horrible. That's ok. I'm still in choir. School is almost over. I did some stalking for Carmy and I found her bag boy in my friend's yearbook. =) That's all from me.

April 22~UGH! Today is Sunday which means tomorrow is Monday which means that on Tuesday I go back to school. Oh well. I don't mind being at school, it's just the waking up early and doing the 3 or 4 projects that are due sometime soon. *gag* Hm...nothing else to say. Tonite is the premiere of "undergrads." Good Charlotte plays the theme song, so I'll be watching that. And i have 39 days (?) until I hopefully see them. Wanna know what makes me feel better? Click on me!!! For your viewing pleasure. Ok, maybe it makes me feel better but whatever right?

April ?~ Don't you hate it when you're on vacation and you lose track of the days? That's me. I know it's Friday, 4 days before I go back to school.=( Vacation sucked cuz we didn't do anything, except for Kevin's report. I should have been working on my term paper, but I have the next three days. It's just a rough draft. I saw the new eve6 video online. very sad. It's raining out and we have no car to get anywhere like we were supposed to do. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad I'm going back to school. Other things happened, but nothing interesting enough to mention, so I'll end here.

April 13~ Wednesday was a horrible, horrible day. First of all I was still sick and so I couldn't sing well for chamber choir tryouts (thank god ms. greene is giving me another chance) and then it turns out I can't go to prom. =( The next day my brother tells me that my good friend was willing to go with me, how sweet, but its too late. Now all my mom's friends are sad for me and her hot co-worker would have gone with me, but he's 21 and I don't feel comfortable being with one of my mom's friends. *sigh* What else could go wrong?

April 6~ I think that's todays date. Whatever. So I'm sick and I feel like crap. it's 11:03 pm and i should sleep to feel better, but just being with my internet and drinking orange juice will make me better. Ok, maybe not but if I watch "Never Been Kissed" and drool over Michael Vartan (Yes I do realize hes at least 30) I will feel better. Maybe I will go out and buy myself a new cd to listen to since I have worn out my others. Actually I won a Fenix TX cd from ebay and I have to send my money in for that one. I'm on my last pair of contacts and since I have the allergies as well, they have ruined my last pait so now I have to go around with one eye blurred in vision. I can't breathe and I can't eat as much cuz my throat hurts. So hopefully this will all end by Wednesday (chamber choir tryouts and the first day of spring break) Oh! Haha! I don't have an official date for prom! I have that backup date, Matt, but yeah... that's all from me today kids.

March 26 ~So I’d like to comment on a few things. First of all, people have no compassion for those who are stranded on the side of the road. Unless they don’t know you, they don’t care. On our way to school this morning, our car broke down... again. And did anyone stop to help? NO! They drove by us pretending like they didn’t see us. They probably assumed that we had a cell phone - which we did, but we didn’t have it on us. It’s a good thing that we weren’t too far from home. Kevin’s friend’s mom drove by and saw us so she gave us a ride. There’s no such thing as true Good Samaritans. Yeah, who’s losing faith in everything!?! me! Yeah that sucks.

So while I being idle at home (i was waiting for the new good charlotte video to come on so i could tape it and i saw it but i didnt catch it in time to tape it. it was an ok video. benji looked kinda chubby.) anyway, i had a thought that pop stars don’t have a long career. When they try to make a comeback, there are a lot of people who don’t want them back. Like madonna. But rock stars can go on forever. I dunno. That’s my opinion. Rock on!

So my family doesn’t believe that I’m moving out after high school. I know mom doesn’t want me to go, but she can’t stop me. She knows. I guess in a way I’m like her cuz she left the Philippines at 21. I’m moving out at 18. I can’t wait either. To be on my own for awhile.

Last friday was the student council luncheon and choir bowling. For the student council I really dressed up. I wore a light blue tank top and a black mini skirt with a slit that really wasn’t my idea of fun. Yeah, everyone was in awe. Halloween!!!! It was fun to dress up. This only happens about once or twice a year. Crap i have to do it again for the junior/senior luncheon. So for the s.c. luncheon we went to the spaghetti factory and we had a private room. Well as soon as I saw the guys that were working there, I immediately sat near the door for a good view. What a fantastic view. After that fun, I went glow bowling for choir. That went really great. I think the most amusing part of the afternoon was Carmy’s team having signs posted all over their lane. Kristina and I tried to steal some signs and carmy saw us and told on us. We were disqualified from the spirit competition, but it was worth it =) But the highlight was when it was my turn to bowl, I pulled the ball back and just as that happened the ball slipped from my fingers and it rolled back. That was so funny. I’m glad it was dark and a lot of my friends were there or it would be soooo embarassing. =) That was my weekend.

March 18~ It sucks to be sick. i'm not exactly dying, but i feel like crap and i just wanna sleep. i cant though cuz i still have homework to do. bah on school. Well i can't wait until friday when we have the student council luncheon and choir bowling. Oh yeah, did I mentio that good charlotte is playing but I'm not going. Yeah Joel can't go with me to prom cuz that night they'll be in Florida. But hopefully I get to see them at the Warped Tour in June. Yay! That's it yo!

March 17~ So lat night was the CB talent show. Mary asked Traci and me to go because we were gonna support her boyfriend who's band was playing. That and we were meeting our possible prom dates. Well, let me tell you, as soon as I walked into that door, I was in heavne. Guys everywhere. Pretty guys, Rocker guys. GUYS!!! Thank God I had my camera. So we met up with Joey (mary's b.f.) and the band (aka "arturo and the churros"). We took pictures of Joey and then we spotted Amanda and Jeremy and sat down. So the first few acts were kinda...blah. But then the fourth act came on and it was a little punk band and I really liked them. So they started playing their second song and at first I thought it was Nirvana, but then the guy started singing and it was "little things." Dude, I was sooo excited and I sang along and I was bouncing. Yeah. Then another guy came on and he was a cute little violin player that totally rocked the house. (he won and we wanted him to if not the punk band). He was that good. Later on, after a few boring acts and an intermission, Joey's band came on. The first song they played was Rage Against the Machine. (yuck!) Arturo (traci's date) even got off the stage and started "breakdancing" (i have a picture to prove it) and it was hilarious. I guess they were okay. I was kinda zoned out. Actually Traci, Amanda and I were getting ready for the song to end , so that we can cheer and shout "joey sprawka." Mary was so embarassed and the people at CB were probably a bit ticked off. okay, they hate us! Then some other cool guy came to play "sell out" and "baby one more time" accoustically. (he did a damn good job of it). There was also "Hard Rock" boy (zack) who sat in front of us and we took so many pictures of him. He caught us taking the first one. When the whole show ended (took 3 long hours) we went to officially meet our dates. (we tried to earlier, but i was too mesmorized by one of the band member's krispy kreme shirt so i wasnt formally introduced to my date) Well I barely said 5 words to my date. His name is matt, and he's as tall as i am. He's got big ears that stick out and its so cute. Hes adorable. (from what i remembered. i forgot what he looked like) Let's not even get into Traci's date... Before we left, I tried to talk to the guy in the punk band, but that was tooo weird so i ran away. Then we went to Mr. Perry's and Then we went back to joey's house (aka sprawkaville). So excuse me while I stalk those CB guys!!! P.S. Charisse, if you read this, don't mention it to mom, cuz she doesnt know that I went to joey's house. She only knows that I went to the talent show and then out to eat! SSSHHHH!!!!

March 15~ So i did absolutely no homework tonite even though I have two or three subjects to work on. Whatever, I'll do it tomorrow. So I have been obsessing over Good Charlotte for the past two weeks now. I love their song "Motivation Proclamation." If you go to a fan site they'll have an acoustic version - go listen to it. It's so sad =( Their life story is so sad =(. Too bad I can't see them next Friday...*ugh* But they are gonna play at the Vans Warped Tour and I sooo have to go to that. That's over the summer and I'm sure mom will be cool with it. But it's all the way in San Fran. Like I said mom should be cool iwth it. *crosses fingers* I'm also getting sick. I'm coughing out my lungs, I'm sneezing my nose off and yeah... its grand. I'm sooo tired too, so after I write here I'll sign off to sleep, wake up 8 hours later and do that unfinished/unstarted homework. And tomorrow Traci and I meet Arturo and Matt at the CB talent show. Me and Traci...in public...with guys... What will that be like? *sigh* Oh yeah did I mention how the person who auctioned off the Good Charlotte cd never emailed me back? That's ok. I'll spend the extra $10 to buy their cd. These boys are worth it. =) So gonna go. Estoy muy cansado.

March 11~Happy Birthday to Joel and Benji from Good Charlotte! They be 22 =) So tday I went to church. I havent been to church in 2 or 3 years! Crazy I know. Another reason why I'm going to hell. I also David Grega! Hi David! Yesterday I went to the mall with Traci and we visited Mary at work. Dude, we bought Harry Potter glasses and we were prancing around the mall wearing them. Yes, we are immature. We took pictures too! *shakes head* we need to get a life! okay, thats it for now. i'll be on in a few hours to make more stories.

March 8~ Let’s see, today Kristina came up with a really great idea. She suggested that we come up with a slide show for the choir with music in the background. That’s a great idea! I already came up with some ideas and some songs to use. This‘ll be great. And I don’t think that this has ever been done before. Yay! Anyway, I replied to Joel’s email asking if he really would go to prom with me and I’m still waiting for his response. That would kick ass if he did. I was telling my little freshman buddy about how I MIGHT take a 21 year old to prom and she found that to be disgusting (or something like that). She thought I was “naughty” for taking an “old” guy. Of course I did leave out that minor detail that he is a rockstar. So I hear it from her everyday, about how bad I am and blah, blah, blah... She’s so cute. But in case I don’t take my “old” guy, I have a possible back up date. He’s a friend of Joey (mary’s b.f.) and I might meet him next friday at the CB talent show. Hm... this’ll be interesting. So I have to do research now for term paper, the class that I WILL fail. I have ******* for a teacher. *shudders* WORD!

March 6 ~ Well exciting news! But I’ll save the best for last. First piece of good news, the art history final that I BS-ed and thought I failed, I got a 98% on it! And I skipped like 5 questions. I love Ms. Romero. So I have an “A-” in that class. Second, I went to BSB last night and that kicked ass. We used at least three rolls of film, but since it was the advantix camera/film, we had like 60-90 pictures. But they didn’t sing my favorite songs! (as long as you love me, quit playing games). So we spent the night listening to songs off their cd that we didn’t know, cuz we don’t listen to it. *as i’m typing this satan is having a bsb moment and playing ALL the cds* HAHA! And i’m really getting old because my cousin’s friend was asking me what my favorite bsb songs was and I just totally blanked out. I forgot the names of their songs! so I really had to think about that. It’s been that long since I listened to them. And now, the news that you’ve been waiting for!!! So a few days ago, I emailed my “Flavor of the Week” Joel from Good Charlotte and I jokingly asked him to prom and well last night I checked my email and here’s what that cutie said:

Fran,
thanx so much baby! Just check out 
tour dates, hopefully we’ll be 
there soon. Thanx for
the support, you kick ass, and if 
I’m around for prom, I’d love to go, 
I just have to see the
tour dates, thanx baby! 
MUCH LOVE, 
Joel
