Happy Halloween!

Whoop! Back from LA! I have some unpacking and cleaning up to do, and class at three, but a full Disney Post is on the way!

Also, yay Halloween! I really want to dress up today for school. Hm, yeah, I think I will. Pictures of this later, too!

*Covering ears*

OMFG. These ladies are goddamn LOUD. O.O

...Rescue me from them, daddy! D:

Urgh, they're leaving soon, I think.

Holy shit, and one of them just told me that if someone calls for her, to tell him that she's going to be back at six. ...She was fucking serious, too. WHUT.

I just want them to leave before they all start crying for my mother's poor cancerous soul. God dammit, EVERYONE WHO MAKES THAT MUCH OF A MOTHERFUCKING DEAL, the woman's getting a hell of a lot better, she's not knocking on Death's door just yet. This isn't a fucking funeral. >:(

I swear on my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.

I am sitting here, alone in an immaculately clean house. My mom's off at the airport waiting for a couple of her friends to arrive. I hope she gets back before several other friends get here from Tijuana, cause if not, it means I have to greet them. -__- Don't much feel up to it.

... I've been watching Firefly again, which explains why I'm speaking all western-like. ^-^ Love love love that show. Damn you, Fox. Curse you forever.

This is awesome:



Urk! I think the ladies are here. :(

Listening to the Prince of Egypt soundtrack

Looks like my brain is just trolling me. This night I dreamed I bought a delicious strawberry-banana smoothie at the mall, and a crazy lady came up to me and asked, "Can I have a sip? I want to know if it's worth my money..."
I stared for about two seconds and then yelled, "NO YOU CANNOT HAVE A SIP. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? I DON'T WANT YOUR HERPES."
My exact words. So, yeah, kinda funny, but not as good as yesterday's dream.

Paulina, my dad, and I are all going to L.A. on Friday on account that my mom is having a huge all-weekend slumber party with some of her friends from university. O.o So yeah, there won't be any room for us in the house. I ain't complaining though, cause Pau and I are going to Disneyland on Saturday!! Pretty excited!

I thought there was something else I wanted to add, but... for the life of me, I cannot remember what it was. It must not have been important.

Tuesday, October 25, 2011

Yeah, we kissed. *happyblush*

Dear Brain,
Thank you so much for that dream last night. :'D Me and my archaeological team discovering Lemuria? Awesome. Having to fight off some weird zombie monsters in the jungle (and totally kicking their undead asses)? Incredible. Sayid from Lost is part of my team and has the hots for me?
Nosebleed Pictures, Images and Photos

Squee!
I'm sorry I ever doubted you brain! I forgive you for those weird recurring dreams I had of that one kid back in high school.

Please keep it up!
-Daniela <3

In other super important news, I am doing laundry. Go me.

Coffee is amour.

Phew! Finished the art project last night. I tried to take a picture of it, but the thing has a serious glare.

I went out to see Paranormal Activity 3 on Saturday with several friends. It was more funny than scary to be honest, but I had heard that it was really scary, so I was covering my eyes the entire time but was somewhat disappointed. It was made funnier by the LOUD outbursts from my scared-as-hell friend. Oh, and he's gay and hilarious. This is important.

SPOILERS, in case anyone reads this and cares. 

*Little person under a sheet appears in frame.*

My friend: "DANG GIRL, GO BACK TO BED."

People in the theater: *laugh* *Secretly thinking that my friend is going to a special hell for talking during the movie.*

*Little person under the sheet is now behind the blonde babysitter.*

My friend: "Oooh, girl, ooh, girl-"

 *Person disappears from under the sheet, leaving it in a crumpled heap on the floor*

Entire theater: *Screams*

My friend (much louder than everyone else): "OH MY GAH OH MY GAAAHH!"


Heh, well, it was kind of a had-to-be-there moments.

I am finally going to color some comics. Now that I have time. :)

Taking a break from homework.

I am not used to homework anymore. I swear on the entire Greek pantheon that I have been working on this goddamn piece since nine this morning. IT IS NOW ALMOST TEN HOURS LATER. AND I AM NOT CLOSE TO FINISHING. I AM ACTUALLY STUCK. Grrr, this thing is due on Monday.

Urgh, I'm obviously not going to do anything this weekend. Except I do have plans. :P Just for tomorrow afternoon, so I will probably definitely be working nonstop in the morning and all of Sunday, bloody Sunday. >:( Poopie.

And if that wasn't all, for some reason, when I actually have stuff like homework to get done, my brain decides to get all inspired to write. Seriously Muses, where the hell were you last week when I actually had nothing to do?!?! Not funny. Come back on Monday, when all this shit is over and done with.

After all the work I've been doing, this better be the Best Thing Ever Drawn By Me, or else.

I'm doing some art homework. I'm kind of annoyed by it, but if I'm planning on taking my general ed classes next semester, I have nothing to whine about. I am going to enjoy these last few months of easy homework before I have to take shit like math and English. Admittedly, English isn't so bad, just the essays I'm going to have to write. And math... well, I'm thinking I'm going to be in the lowest level of it, so it won't be too bad. I hope.

I'm watching Sleepy Hollow. I can't see Christopher Walken in movies without picturing him dancing and singing with a fat, cross-dressed John Travolta. O.O Ruined forever.

Best get on with the homework!

Oh, and look at this. Shush, just look.

Star Wars is on youtube. I'm off to watch it before youtube blocks it.

 Update on last's week's to do list.

Most of those done. I didn't go to the library (no time), I didn't draw the Do It Again meme. Or the selling my art thing. Not sure how to go about that last one. :/

Anyway, I was going to apply to Best Buy, but they're looking for really specific computer-savvy people for their jobs. Boo for them. I may apply to Macy's. Later. For now, I have to focus on getting my classes ready for next semester. I'm going to make an appointment to see my counselor.

I have decided. I want to go for Archaeology/Anthropology, with an emphasis in Egyptology. :D Of course, I can't get that specific in community college, but I think an associates degree in history or humanities would be a good, solid foundation. Or maybe I'll just take my general ed classes. (something I'm avoiding like the goddamn bubonic plague. NO MOAR MATHS!) We'll see.

I'm kind of avoiding the thought of getting an art degree because art is something I've always done, it's my safe backup. So If Archaeology proves to be too difficult, art it is.

It's weird that I'm planning this. I mean, it's not weird weird, it's just that I remember vowing never to go back to school just four months ago. I was so sure I was just going to work and not waste all that time and money on school. It's not a bad weird, to clarify. I finally have something I'd very much like to study.

...Huh, the rambling came early tonight. :/

Listening to new Evanescence CD. Amy Lee's voice is possibly my favorite of all voices. Possibly.

So. I really want to use this gif for something:


funny gifs

Maybe once I get my license, and again when I get a job. :) Speaking of which, guy at Best Buy said that applying online is best. So I shall do that. *Doing it now.* *nervous again*

OH GOD, AND AN INTERVIEW TOO! *dies*

WHOA. I JUST HAD THE WEIRDEST EPIPHANY EVER. I'm watching The Lion King 2, Simba's Pride (I actually like this sequel. So what?) and I just realized that when my dad tells me a million times to be careful when I go out and such, he's doing it because he loves me and worries about me. I know, I know, DUH. But I seriously thought he said that because he thinks I can't take care of myself. Wow, I need to stop rolling my eyes when he says that. I'm a bitch sometimes, I know.

In other news, I might apply for work today. *nervous tremble* Party City, Macy's, Best Buy, they're all hiring for seasonal jobs. Sounds good, even if I work on Christmas Day, it's not like we're going to do anything special. Ugh, but I don't know how to do this! I've never worked a bleeding day in my life (unless you count about fifteen hours of community service I did in middle school, which I don't). Do I need a resume? I don't know what to put on it. Should I add the fact that I had good grades, or is that stupid? Merlin's beard. *Is now more nervous*

I had a bacon cheeseburger today.

The Spanish-dubbed version of Napoleon Dynamite is hilarious, but for an entirely different reason than the English version. I usually don't mind English dubbing of foreign movies, but I never thought of how it might sound in reverse. Now I know. o.O I'm pretty sure they only have two voice actors for the entire movie, one female and one male.

So, I've wanted to write and illustrate a children's book for a long time now. Thing is, it's really hard. I know, I know, how fucking hard can it be? But for some goddamn reason, it is. Like, I kind of know what the theme is going to be, and the main character, and even a little bit of the plot, but I'm still having slight issues planning how it's going to look. I want the drawings to be the main focus, but I want the writing to be entertaining, too. Maybe I'm thinking too much into this. -__-

Estradia is still my main focus, though. ^_^

THE NEW EVENESCENCE CD IS MINE!

I also bought a controller for my laptop. Cause computer games are fun, but using the keyboard sucks.


Oh, that's right, I had a list of things I had to do this week. ^^; I'm going to give myself the weekend to finish it. Yeah.

Um. I'm off to write or draw or something.

Watching Lost and wondering vaguely what the hell is going on.

I took another quiz!


You know the Bible 52%!
&nbsp;
Congratulations! You know a lot about the Bible - the books, the characters, the events. You are able to remember a lot of what you have heard and read!

Ultimate Bible Quiz
Take More Quizzes

Well, for someone who hasn't touched a bible in years, if ever, not bad. It's definitely better than I expected. Thanks to movies like The Prince of Egypt and Joseph, King of Dreams. Yay Dreamworks!

Shit, midnight always has a way of creeping up on me.

So, Sucker Punch was very awesome. Kickass. It makes me want to go out and fight and be free and all that. And I want the soundtrack. :D

Also! I forgot to mention what happened when a UPS guy that came this afternoon. I was signing for the package that came (It was for Paulina). He said to me out of the blue: "You have nice hair."
Me: *Blinks a couple of times* "Thanks."
I was left in mild confusion for a bit, and then I was flattered. I do have nice hair. It was damn nice of him to notice. ;P

Anyway, I told Paulina, and the crazy wench says:
Paulina: "Was he young?"
Me: "Twenty-ish, I guess."
Paulina: "Was he cute?"
Me: "I guess..." (I honestly don't remember, so I guess he was pretty average. :P)
Paulina: "You should have asked for his number. That's how these things happen."
Me: "... ... ...No."

I should have seen it coming.

Emily Browning is purdy.

Egypt Tuesday was on Planet Green today. :D So that was awesome.

I'm watching Sucker Punch now. Seem cool. We'll see. Oooh, Action Scene Number One (Samurai dudes) is awesome.

I'm drawing some comics, too. I'm on a comic-drawing roll!

Scattered thoughts of the day.

Sushi for dinner... and ASJASDHKALFB INTERNET IS SO EFFIN SLOW!

People tell me I look like Anne Hathaway. Thanks guys, but I really don't think so.


It's laughable. Go on, laugh. And this was the most average-looking picture of her I could find. Oh, hang on:

Yeah, this is probably what they meant. That's what my hair looks like if I let it dry naturally. Eh, I tell myself I look like Kate from Lost and go about my day.

Dream on!

I'm burning incence tonight. ^_^

Went downtown with my friends yesterday. *checks time* Oh, wait, technically two days ago. (Monday already? Fuck that.) Downtown San Diego is the best. I want to live there one day. Sure, there are creeps, but you just have to know how to handle them. ;P You gotta be tough to live there. Anyway, we went to eat at Sammy's Woodfired Pizza and we got a free sundae because the waiter was super-nice. He got a good tip that day. ^_^

So, pretty fun weekend!

Uh, what else? Oh yeah, I finished that book I was talking about in my last post. Kitty and the Midnight Hour. It's very good. I'm pretty sure I saw like ten other books of the same series at Border's, so, I'll have to read those too eventually. o.O I don't particularly like leaving a series unfinished.

Started reading The Lord of the Rings, because if I don't read those books I will be an embarrassment to the fantasy-geek community.

Erg, tired. Better go to sleep before I start rambling like a fool.

Te quiero puta! Hehe Rammstein *heart*

To Do Next Week 10/10 to 10/14:

  • For the love of all that's holy, FINISH THAT BOOK YOU STARTED READING LIKE A MONTH AGO. Seriously, it'll take you three hours, tops. Just turn off the damn computer for one evening and do it!
  • Register to vote. Don't stress about the political party. As long as you're not a Republican, you're golden. 
  • Write one chapter of your Estradia novel. Just one. Don't worry about the planning, you'll fix that later. Just, ONE, chapter, is that so hard?
  • Drive. Drive anywhere. To school, to Ralph's, to Target, to downtown Chula Vista. Everywhere. Work your way up to the highway.
  • Think very very seriously about what I want to do next semester. If you're thinking of declaring a major, talk to a counselor about it. If you're going to work, THEN APPLY FOR A GODDAMN JOB!!! It's not that fucking hard.
  • You're doing pretty good at keeping your room organized, so keep it up. Don't listen to your mother who tells you that it's too cluttered. It's not clutter, mother, it's just my room's personality.
  • Start selling your art. Your family wants to buy some of it. You need the monies. DO IT.
  • Go to the library and check out books on Egypt. 'Cause you know you want to.
  • Oh, yeah, and do that homework thing for your jewelry class. And buy paper for your drawing class.
  • Remember that Draw It Again meme you were planning on doing? Get off your lazy ass and do it.
That sounds right.  The reality is I'll probably accomplish about seven of these, maximum. I'm an idiot. Je suis une idiote. Une belle idiote. Hehe. Sometimes I pretend I speak French.

    Listening to said New Age CD

    Okay, I see now why I thought that CD was full of Egyptian music:

    Totally Egyptian
    Seriously though, my mom got this pirated CD in Mexico sometime in the late nineties, and there are some serious spelling errors on it. Meat Lofft? Green Slaves? (Meat Loaf and Greensleeves. lol) And the art on it is a seriously bad photoshop job. You gotta give us Mexicans credit though. They could have left the whole thing blank and just sharpied the song names in. (I seriously said serious to many times in this paragraph. Seriously.)

    The days are starting to cool down, and I'm kind of happy about it. It means layers, and scarves and boots and stuff. :D Oooh, and hot chocolate. 

    Heehee. I slept with socks on last night, something I don't usually like to do.

    Eh, I'm off to work out. It'd be nice to have some muscle, you know? Also, Paulina has been teaching me how to bellydance, I'm off to practice. ;P

    Tons of quizzes

    I am multitasking right now. I'm drawing, downloading songs and organizing my itunes in general, and taking quizzes.




    Your Brain is 47% Female, 53% Male








    Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female

    You are both sensitive and savvy

    Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed

    But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve

    Huh, interesting. I kind of already knew I had a male mind as I tend to think in a more pervy way than girls. I giggle at sex jokes. Sue me.



    Your Brown Eyes Say You're Clever and Witty







    You are seen as brilliant and irreverent. You speak your mind, and people love you for it.

    You don't let other people see any insecurities you might have. You like to present a brave front.



    You are sharp as a tack and very quick on your feet. You're the first to get or tell a joke.

    You are also clear thinking in a crisis. You are an excellent problem solver.

    Yay clever and witty! I will take it! This is actually pretty accurate.



    You Are From Neptune






    You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability.

    You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea.

    Your soul is filled with possibilities, and your heart overflows with compassion.

    You can be in a room full of friendly people and feel all alone.

    If you don't get carried away with one idea, your spiritual nature will see you through anything.


    Nice, and pretty true, except I don't like the sea quite that much. I prefer a lovely mountain foresty place with a river running through it. Ahh, bliss.



    You Attract a Cancer





    When sensitive, needy, emotional Cancer meet you, they've met your match.

    You can nurture a Cancer and take things as slowly as is needed.



    You are careful with your Cancer. You try not to ever say or do anything upsetting.

    You're willing to walk on eggshells. It's worth it for your Cancer's devotion.


    Needy Cancer? Walking on eggshells? No thanks. I'm honest to the point of brutality, so I would probably make a Cancer cry.

    Well, this was fun.

    Shit in my life that only meditation will help.

    Had a lot of homework to do... I had to find 40 pictures of reference for my art project. We're supposed to design a monster. I am excited for this project. :D

    Anyway, I've been doing research on Egypt. I love Egypt and everything to do with it, but I don't know if archaeology is what I'm interested in, exactly. Don't get me wrong, archaeology is awesome, but I wonder if it'd be one of those things that I would quickly lose interest in.

    I need to do some serious serious soul-searching right now and think of what I want to do next semester. Should I just start on my boring-as-hell general ed classes? Should I keep doing art, but take four or five classes this time? Should I start on my epic journey towards becoming an egyptologist? Should I just give school the middle finger and get a job? Is the army still an option? I have a ton to choose from.

    Mom's going to be starting another round of chemo on Monday. The doc says it'll be another six months of it. I don't even know what to say to that. I'm fucking tired of it, I cannot even begin to imagine what my mom's going through right now. I hate seeing her so down. It makes me want to punch things.

    This post started shallow and took a dive into the deep end. I think I'm going to start meditating again.

    Yerushalayim shel zahav

    Went out of town, haven't written in a while. It was my grandma's 78th birthday. I gave her this angel drawing and she liked it. :)

    Too tired to write any more.
