40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"It's like the most amazing sun set you've ever seen. There's never another quite the same. It just falls into some eternal sea."
-Jennifer Hanson (Beautiful goodbye)
Am going to a party with Gus.
(Also, Sophia A. And I became lawyers today. Good for Us. See also Darcy's blog for quotes.)

Sword fights are better with capes.
*focus*
But the more over point of this post was that I have a fabulous boy, who is fun and random and, who will let me dress him up on a whimp (even if he really doesn't like the prep look.)...(Though he also thought he looked good.)
*sigh*
Doth love thee.

And here I thought I was loosing my touch with poetry.
He also gave me a necklace with a silver dagger on it (from his dad to me, really) and he has an identical one except on a longer chain. The running joke it that when we get sick of each other we just slit the others throat with them.
Have to clean the house today. Luckily the mass majority of cleaning only involves the vacuum and taking out the trash.
*Darcy your lack of posting makes me sad*
- Alkaline Trio (Every thug needs a lady)
Bought 3 DAYS GRACE cd, and MAROON5 cd (along with boots ^.^ ) Just thought it should be known.
Oh, I am soooo Happy. And they make my legs look really tall. AND I DON'T HAVE TO PIN UP MY PANTS!
*joy*

Anyhow-
The airport people didn't load our bags onto our plane when we had to switch planes in Mexico city and we had to locate them and then drive back to Juarez last night at like 10:00 to go pick them up. Gr.
I still need to unpack my bag and stuff but I figure i have some time.
Today my plan is to go to Barnes&Noble and go shoe shopping...*Boots*... Gus say he wants to come shoe shopping with me simply because we haven't seen each other in a week.
Need to run and get some stuff for mommy, and pick up a Maroon5 Cd, since I only have acoustic Cd and that only has 4 songs.
Elsa gave me the Jason Mraz CD, which is good, but I'm glad that I didn't have to pay for it.
Since I assume I'll be spending the better part of my day with Gus, I know I won't be getting any reading done which pains me a little. I'm getting to a really good part.
But it's probably better that I discontinue my infatuation with that book for a while for this simple reason ( as pathetic as it may sound): I am IN LOVE with Jaime McTavish.

The things that I have obtained since I have been here:
- One very pretty black purse from mom (I'm also convinced that I will use this one too.)
- One very pretty tan purse also from mommy (Not for Christmas, like the other, but just because she loves me.)
- 3 red scars. One on my shin and the other two on the inner part of my upper thigh. (to be explained later or not at all.)
- $50 from elsa for boots (x-mas present.)
- $100 from mom (present)
- $50 from daddy (present)
- $25 from Lee and Barb (present)
- a new wonderful novel that I haven't been able to put down
Things that I have found, or realized since I have been here:
- Maroon5 is good fast boat music.
- A respect for all American women who are beautiful and NOT blonde.
- While I do hate all food stuffs at McDonald and still am going to try and maintain a personal ban on almost all their meals...I do so much love their ice cream.
- Sting rays do fly.
- Fish...Are stupid.
- Fish are really stupid.
- a respect for elevators, bread-eating fish, and sour yogurt.
- A complete hatred for bad television. English or Spanish.
- And that if you're standing on the dock and everyone is watching you, you might as well jump off. Chances are you´re going to get a few cuts (probably on your shin and inner thighs) But at least you´ll impress all the boys and smile when you look back on it. I´m sure there is a moral in that somewhere.
I´m under the assumption that everyone has had a wonderful Christmas back in El Paso, and since this is likely one of the last times I will be typing to you from this computer I want to say I actually have had a rather enjoyable time.
And while I do anticipate getting back into El Paso with lots of cold weather, I'm also going to miss being able to sit out on the dock at night and read with nothing but a beautiful view of golden blue ocean in front of me. You see, it´s funny. I whine so much about having to go on these types of vacations, but in the end, for the most part, I do find something that I enjoy about them. Be it even just little things like reading on a dock.
Anyway, I will be back tomorrow at about 7:30, mainly because we will spend a good hour in traffic trying to get over the bridge. I expect that I will be getting you your present and script sometime the following day Darcy. (Sorry about that, slipped my mind completely until just recently.)

-Whole new respect for Collin Firth
Thursday:
-Boat ride was absolutely wonderful, and one of the happiest most peaceful things I've done in a very long time. (Dont' tell mom, she'll never let me live it down.)
-bought a spiffy new purse, that I'm convinced I will actually use. Even though I have a long track record for buying purses and then never using them.
---onto the present day---
I have decided that Johnny Depp can no longer Be JONATHAN/FRANK due to his age.
however have decided on Dominic Manahands (Can't spell his last name, *Ack.*) as being a brilliant COLUM McKENZIE.
I have also come to the conclusion that Matt Rutkowski would make the perfect JAMIE McTAVISH (JAMES FRASER, if you´re being formal.) for several reasons. (Plus I think it would be fun to watch Matt pull off a Scottish accent...Though I know he could.)
I think that it goes without mention that I am rather enjoying my book.
So from what I hear it is snowing / has already snowed in El Paso. Yay!
Called Gus yesterday and he is already in Chicago. (says it´s cold.)
Also haven´t had the chance to do any real writing while I´ve been here, but have scribbled some stuff down on a napkin this morning in an over-heated-sleep-state. However, I put that napkin in my purse before we left, and didn´t think to bring my purse with me.
To be honest however, I am excited that our stay here is coming to an end. Not that I don´t love being with my family, and having the chance to go on trips to places, but I do rather love being home.
-Thinking of you always.
(Plus, I really want to go buy my boots...)

Yesterday my mom gave me a book she said that she couldn't get into but I would probably like because a good portion of it was fiction based and such. "Outlander"
To be honest I've spent the better part of the day out on the boat deck in the shade reading, and it' s a rather entrancing find if I do say so at all. (I've already cast Jonhy Depp as the perfect FRANK RANDALL/JONATHON RANDALL. Not just because I love Johny, but because I could so see him doing some of those things.)
at the moment Mom and Elsa are somewhere in the mall shopping, and I know we had plans to go to see BRIDGET JONES 2 in about an hour...
Tomorrow is supposed to be the day we all go on a boat ride but I've already made it clear that I'd rather stay here and just spend the day on the beach, and reading, then I would in a boat for several hours.
I think my mom has noticed that I do that at least once a vacation, and is okay with the idea of me spending the day on my own.
---There was also talk of a party at my house on the 30th. Ugh.Really Would rather not be at that. So I say somebody kidnap me and take me away for a couple hours that day. Thank you in advanced. ---

No, I didn't miss my flight or anything and am sitting at home on my computer in El Paso...I found an internet Cafe´ in town and have decided to take full advantage of it. (Even though, I realize that I had said I wouldn't be on line.)
The flight to Mexico city was actually very painless. (I slept the entire time, and dreamt that Dom had killed Sophia and was now coming after me because he was mad at Darcy...At some point in it there was something about me on a motorcycle being chased by his thugs...Yeah.)
The lay over was only about an hour and a half and then the final flight to Acapulco was only about 45 minutes.
Considering what a nightmare our trip to Mexico was last year I'd say we've been pretty fortunate.
The condo is nice. Huge view window that over looks the beach and the swimming pool, but in all honesty it's intensely hot, and I mentioned to mommy that I'd rather have gone to Mazatlan again. (though she thought it was too cold there *Rolls eyes*)
Have already talked to Gus on the phone, and that's pretty much all the contact I've had with someone other then mommy.
Though, we have met some very nice people who have shown as around. (A couple and their son, Edward.)
Elsa gets here today at about 3.
I am insanely tempted to get up and go shop because I am in the mall, and mommy left me with 100 pesos (Which I think is 10 dollars) so I might have to go do that...Just because I'm a girl...And it's what I do...I shop.
Monday, December 20, 2004
Today is the day.
We were supposed to have left the house already but of course, why would we be on time? (Check the post for about this time last year, you'll notice we're also late.)
I don't think that there will be any internet, and I wont be taking my cell phone since I wont be in contact with anybody much this week, I ask you to please have a beautiful beautiful holiday week, and know that I will be thinking of you always.
P.S- Don't let anything too interesting happen while I'm not here, please.

He's: Very Tall, Super white boy, (attractively *heeh*) skinny, straight light brown hair, with glasses, and blue-green eyes, and a very punk rock style, and a very good boy, I.B student (I think in top 10% of our class.)
I'm: Very short, tan, with more of a figure, long dark brown curly hair, no glasses, and dark brown eyes, very "every style but punk" as far as fashion goes, not so much of a good girl when it comes to certain things, and don't really care THAT much about my grades. (Though, I did insanely well this semester. I have. no. idea how.)
And then when you break down our personalities it gets even wierder.
He's much more logical, analytical, intense, pessimistic, glass half empty type of guy where I am very very fatalist, non-logical, non-analytical, optimist, positive type of chick...(Censor: I am also much more horny than he is...) He likes to ends things on a romantic note, as where I like to end them on happy notes. He knows everything about movies, from all different days and ages, with all different types of actors, as where I know little and/or next to nothing about any celebrity other than Johny Depp. He is incredibly political, "ready to think about the problems of the world" type of guy, where I am more of a "It will all be good in the end" type of thing. I have a very strong Christian faith, where he has none.
I think about the only thing we both have in common is that we both have bad road range.
But, as it goes, I really like him for the things that he is and I am not. I don't think that two people have to be just the same to get along, or anything like that. IN fact, I think you can be attracted very easily to oppisites. But the idea that we both bring our own personalities makes it interesting. When I react one we he will almost always react another way, and it's funny because we both rub off on each other. We both know the other's personality well enough to be comfortable adjusting, and joking around and I just thought it was pretty cool. I never thought I'd ever date a pessimistic, logical guy, but to tell you the truth I do not really mind. Not one bit.
Anyway, he was over to watch some T.V and hang out before I left and we had been talking about it the night before. I just thought it was funny.
Last night, after shooting the movie at Natalia's house (Which we're still not done with, but only have two or so more scenes that probably Natalia and I can do on our own.) Gus and I went out to eat (At Hudsons, GOD I love that place.) and then to a movie. "Flight of the Phoenix", and all I want to ssay was that it was a terrific movie in every aspect and I HIGHLY recommend it, because it's one of the best movies I've seen in a long long long long long time.
-Gone to church
-Eaten my weight in sugar
-Run around with Mommy to wal-mart
-showered
-Cleaned the back seat of Mizu
-Cleaned my room
-Posted once
-Checked my e-mail twice (including writing a small e-mail to Liz)
-Talked on the phone with Gus
-Cleaned my bathroom
-Taken a 30 minute nap
-And packed.
The moral of the story?
The reason I wait until last minute to get everything done is because I do eventually get everything done. (Even if I'm tired and in a hurry.)
Think I'm going to Barnes&Noble soon, and I know Gus is going to come over a little later since today is my last day in town before Mexico.

I don't think I've told very many of you, (IN fact I think I haven't really told anyone but Gus, and Darcy, and not because it's a big secret or anything, but because I'm just forgetful like that.) I am going out of town to Acapulco. I think our planes leaves at 8:00 Monday morning. Yay! Warm weather! I still haven't even pulled my suitcase out of the closet, and know that I should start packing soon. Oh well. I don't have anything to do tomorrow. I'll do it then.
Oh! And I need to brag! I got my Christmas Present from Gus. It's a really pretty pure silver ring that I love very much. ^.^
Uhm, so I think that's it.
Happy Holidays.

as just a few of many things
to lie around to clutter up your shelves
And I wish you weren't worth the wait
because there's some thing's I'd like to say to you...
I don't think that you know what you've been missing
Cuz I don't think that you know what you've been missing
I dare you to forget
those marks you left across my neck
from those nights when we were both found at our best
I could make this obvious, and you, you could deny me
all in one breath
you could shrug me off your shoulders...
I don't think that you know what you've been missing
Cuz I don't think that you know what you've been missing
Hey, lush, have fun
It's the weekend
Hey, lush, have fun
Hey, lush, have fun
It's the weekend
Hey, lush, have fun
I don't think that you know what you've been missing
I don't think that you know what you've been missing
Just forget me
it's that simple
Just forget me
it's that simple"
-Taking Back Sunday (Your own disaster)
"I don't mind spending everyday
Out on the corner in the pouring rain.
Look for the girl with the broken smile.
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile."

Went with Kevin after school to get his car washed, and decided that it wouldn't be too bad of an idea to take Mizu to get a wash as well. So I am off.

Wow.
I've had my script since February, and it's now packed away with the rest of the memories.
I gave sherry my number. I know we'll be in touch. Said our goodbyes to Matt. (You are also in my prayers, always.)
To Pim, the VD's, Sophia, John, Trist, all of them. It's now officially over. It's now officially done.
"And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you I'll just hang..."

"No. They have pot."

"Where's my skirt?"
-Sophia A. and Me
I've got to say...I do so very much love Matt. Going to miss him....
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!?!

Lettie wants us to rehearse on Friday nights. That's going to be interesting.
On the plus side...I'll be driving! ^.^
Auditioned today for Rafi's play.
I know that Art got the part of "Manuel" (though I think Rory would be a better cast for it.) and that Gus is probably going to be "Danny" (And...No one could do the part better). He thinks I should play Polly (which is the character that I wanted anyway. and that Rafi has told me he wants for me.) because at some point there is a love interest between the characters of Polly and Danny. And...Playing the romantic character opposite of Gus should be fun...and If nothing else, funny.
(Though, I really do like the part of Sybil...She's a very "Guinevere " type character (for the very few of you who know what I'm talking about).She's married to Basil...Who will HOPEFULLY be Sebastian because he did such a wonderful job with the character.)
Whit's audition tomorrow for me and Natalia. (He wants us as the pair of comic relief.) The good thing is that her and I work very well together on stage...It should be very fun!
We are going to finish shooting the movie on the 18th and then Natalia and I start building the script for the sequel. (Title to be announced later.) The good thing about writing with Natalia is that we really see eye-to-eye on almost everything. I've tired co-writing before...and It's pretty crazy, but Natalia and I make a good team. So you are allowed to have high expectations for the next script.
Did I tell you all that I am going to Mexico again for Christmas? Acapulco. Yay!
realized that I can't do Tristan's play...But if nothing else it'll lighten the work load for January...(Which was the month I was supposed to be taking a break from theater...HA!)
Luckily, Lettie's show only runs one weekend. Something tells me I'm going to be very grateful for that by the time this all ends.
who knows when the other shows perform...But...Eh. Got to go call Natalia.

TODAY IS ALSO THE ONE YEAR MARK OF MY BLOG!
It was one year ago that I glued myself to this computer and produced my blog.
*Happy birthday blog!*
Gee, this reminds me a whole lot of last year.
Peter (Boyle) is genuinely going to try to be at ANNE FRANK this Friday/ Saturday. I gave him a big hug.
(Mommy is sitting on the couch gigling at a T.V show "boiling points")
Drama continues to rise with Sophia and Natalia, and Kevin and stuff. I feel like I could explode. I'm trying so hard not to step on anyone toes and not be stressed or tired...But honest...I feel like I could burst.
Thank God for Gus.
I called him a little while ago. The only person today that's been able to make me laugh. I don't feel quite so -kerpop- anymore.
However, I realize that I must start my English paper, and so...
*stalls*
Uh...
*stalls*
hmmm.
*stalls*
Beh. Better go.
Not the kind of girl you see on T.V.
The kind you don't read about in Magazines.
She's a hippies baby.
Doesn't believe in investigating.
The truth will come to us.
She's the kind who can't take rejection.
Pours poison in your infection.
sits center stage and likes attention.
Not the humble kind.
blares the music from her radio
ties her hair back when the wind wont blow.
The daughter of the son of a freedom fighter.
She looks at me and the world is brighter.
She's a beautiful girl.
Doesn't know what adorable means.
Wears tennis shoes and faded jeans.
Her eyes are red with different greens.
She's impossible.
Eats soup with out the water.
Never was a normal daughter.
Won fist fight with her father,
if it meant that he'd back down.
And she blares the music form her head phones.
sings in the mirror when no ones home.
Eats ice cream and still gets lighter
both a lover and a fighter.
She's a beautiful girl.
Beautiful girl.
Washes her hair everyday.
Always knows what not to say.
Intimidate her and she's only stay...
sitting there in rainy clothes.
She's a beautiful girl.
-Nathan June (Beautiful girl.)

Mommy said he called and ask for directions and all. I don't know what happened. I didn't see him there. But still, it makes me happy.
Sherry's last day. My mood has seriously dropped. *
The show was very good. I think one of our best.
Elsa leaves tonight, and I have an audition tomorrow for Rafi's show.
That's all for now.
My body is sore all over the place.
Last nights performance was not so great. It's just I couldn't get any of it out. We've been running since Tuesday,and we're all very tired. Sometimes I think the show would be easier if we didn't have the school performances. But I do recognize that it is good to get the story out there, and the school performances have given the show much popularity, on top of the already sold out-after sold out shows we're already doing.
either way.
I need to start getting cast gift together.
today is Sherry Zeff's last show with us. (Then she leaves to Israel.) It's really very sad.
After today we have 4 more [performances] left. 2 Go to Tristan, and the last 2 to Matt. (Who will then be leaving after that....*Sigh*) And all 4 [shows] Jan will take over as MRS.FRANK.
Jessica Came last night! Yay!
I guess I should go take a shower, get dressed, do my hair, wake-up, etc. etc.
Call is in an hour or so.

"A BMW740 IL."
"....I think you're setting your standards a little high there."
-Me, Mommy, And Wesley
And that's exactly how I'll make it seem
because I'm still not sleeping
dreaming I've come home from worse than this.
So Please!
Please!
I'm running out of sympathy.
I never said I'd take this.
I never said I'd take this lying down."
-Taking back Sunday (Great Romances of the 20th Century)
*sigh*
Bill and Grandma and Papa leave today. They came to the show last night, which went very well.
Elsa is still in town though. Until tomorrow.
Mime today...Uh,Blah.
*Sigh*
I feel very sad today.

"I don't know. I haven't spent enough time around the car to tell."
"Oh, come on Darcy, you've got to give my car a gender! I want it to be a boy but everyone calls it a girl."
"Maybe it's a transexual car!"
"...I don't know how I'd explain that to my mom..."
-Me&Darcy (Seconds before we go on stage)
Bill, Papa, and Grandma are here! Elsa comes tomorrow.

Gus let me borrow his A.T Cd. BEST music....Ever. Well, one of the best. But I haven't been able to put it down.
*tank you Gus*
