What has stood out
And to be honest, nothing, except the last two-to-three months...
So here i go, with my recap of 2009 for my own purposes.
Well, i did remember, while doing the dishes, that today, last year/the beginning of 2009, i accepted that i could crush on a very good friend of mine [La Keichan]{and despite it all, i think i may still have that sort of thing for her... You know, you still love your first love, right?} But despite how horribly it hurt to watch her throw her heart away towards useless men, and bumbling baffoons of which she still cannot get over, flirt with horrible-intentioned men at church in front of me while i die inside silently and only wished to cry for day to end, i have grown. And because of these horrible emotional scars of which may or may not go away in a couple months or so, i have been able to accept some emotional issues concerning the idea of "love" and some of my own confrontations with physical and mental situations [none of this is making sense. Like i told Steph, i'm running off like 2 hours of sleep >3<]
That was the beginning of the year. A debate, what should i do concerning the "asexuality" issue with me. Keara, recently, has enlightened me onto the idea that "you have been telling yourself that for so long, that you can't accept any difference"
And i agree, this is probably the situation. But there are other situations that i will not discuss in public that i will differ her with >3<
The year 2009, i suppose, was SUPPOSED to be an entire year dedicated to the debate of my sexuality for me, it seems... How much pain i can take for the sake of another's warm, soothing body to coo me to bed.....
I digress.
Another situation during the year, that now if i take a few steps back and look at, was health. My family, began to do the whole "i'm going to be skinny and healthy and be good to myself because i'm old and i'm afraid of dying"
They have lost their weight
They have done their marathons
They have set goals for themselves, and completed them
They feel good about themselves
I honestly don't give a fuck. America's "go green" and "be healthy" shitfuck is a piece of shit. Just like America's "new and improved throw-away Tupperware!" yeah, good idea, you fuckfaces.Anyway, eventually, all good will turn bad, and everything is going to end just like it started. There's my view on health. Fuckit.
Now, ...that's still about beginning of the year. I've made it a complete year working! Ohyeah, good thing for my resume.. My...resume...for a job... that...will be useless if i don't go to college..if i don't graduate highschool. Ohgawd! We've forgotten about my entire year stress of 'how am i going to get loss PE credit?!' 'How am i going to pass all required math classes without being held back?' 'Will i even make it past this year?!' and many more questions arose while trying to further find my newself this year. In the end, i passed Algrebra 1, ohyeah! After the second year, you still know NOTHING! PE? Well, go to BCC next year..oh...wait... You forgot, your HALFYEARNOWMORETHANAYEAR ATTEMPT AT CONVINCING YOUR PARENTS TO LET YOU PRACTICE DRIVING, AND RE-LIVING YOUR FEAR OF MISSES ROBINSON'S DOMINEERING EYES FEARING FOR HER VERY LIFE BECAUSE YOUR LEGS ARE TOO FUCKING SMALL TO PROPERLY PUSH DOWN THE GAWDDAMNPEDAL WITHOUT WEARING HEELS, BECAUSE YOUR TORSO IS TOO SMALL TO SEE OVER THE FUCKING STEERING WHEEL TO CORRECTLY MAKE TURNS AND PARK. BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS USE ALL OF THESE REASONS, AND THEN SOME, TO NOT ALLOW YOU TO PRACTICE, AND THEN TELL YOU THAT YOU SHOULD GET A SMALL CAR(and Mrs. Robinson's domineering eyes still telling you you still need to practice). TO RAISE MONEY...MONEY,YEAH I'M ALMOST AT 2K AND YOU'RE STILL TRYING TO SAY YOU DON'T WANT TO FUCKING HELP ME
..I will once again digress, Highschool is remaining to be a burden on me. The thought of College... All year, all years, i have had an idea of what i want to do. And why. I've always enjoyed sewing... i love different clothes... You want to be a Fashion Designer.. a Costume Designer. A designer where they will accept you for new ideas- a designer for Japan. You will learn Japanese [incorrect] and re-learn Japanese at Bunka, then you will go to their fashion skool and then afterward, make an internet business while living in Luxembourg while you learn Dutch [it's fun]
You realize you can't sew
You realize you're not creative
You realize there's no originality
You realize that there's so many limits to your clothes
Your 'designed' clothes
You re-remembered, money is a huge issue
You laughed when you re-remembered, who the fuck cares about Japan?
You wanted to cry when your parents said you were stupid because you wanted to go to 'germany'. That their crime rate is high, and that police will maul your face because they believe the people should protect themselves
You remembered.... That politics are different, especially in Europe, and that you will never understand other people..
And on, the day of New Years... The Eve, rather... You feel like your whole existence has crumbled... It's like... When someone tells you something, and you honestly believe it. And you have believed it for so long.... And then... Years later, after believing for long, and so strongly.. That person tells you it was a lie, and they laugh in your face for believing them. [I didn't have that problem with Santa, i knew from the start >_> so i can't compare it to that... But you know, that horribly empty feeling you get...Like a chunk of your heart was very neatly taken out and lost for a little while...until you fill it with play-doh and it feels better,but not right...yeah..]{also: look at all those analogies i'm using. I love analogies}
Once again, digressing. Skool: fuckit.
Events there afterward... Skool, health...Obsessions: Well, there wasn't too many this year.
Ohyes, while reading back on old entries, trying to refresh my mind about this year: Friendship.
Oh, how that one has been a burden to be. I've made so many new friends, and i've even gained some old ones back [ohey Twiggy/.die. and Peji :3]
Not only just Sophomore year did i make friends, but even junior year.
For some reason, i mainly think of Japanese class, when thinking about "new friendships."
I suppose it's because of that class that i became closer to Valerie. Who has pretty much become my sister (whether she likes it or not >3) within just one year of talking to her face-to-face. The amazing amount of awkward moments, and awkward laughs, even the inside jokes, and common hatreds, and common loves... It was horrible that i was only able to get to know you you're senior year, but i'm also so very glad that we can maintain being friends even with you at college : D
But beyond Valerie making my life (not only in Japanese)- but there was Skye. Who has also been a thrill to be with when she wasn't being a jerk and not talking to us xD [which reminds me of a little boy, who's obviously going to be mentioned eventually]
Paige, we've had our ups and downs. Whether you realized it or not; our personalities just collide way too much xDBut you're still my Fellow LOTR Fanatic from 6th grade and that will never change. We have a past, and i'm not too sure about our future; but our present is pretty chill :3
The rest of the Japanese class? Well, Murakami sensei will gift me with her horribly awkward moments, and strange mannerisms, her story telling, and just, being really, really girly for her age was amazing. I am glad i was able to be "taught" under her for a good year :3
Aside from Murakami, i've made friends with the rest of the Japanese class mainly Junior year! And i think, i'm going to take it in myself, to become better acquaintances with Mikayla, because i realized she's pretty cool, even though she's a weeaboo (and is dating Jacob Woo D: )
I have no idea why i decided, of all the people in that class, Mikaya, but whatever. She has been chosen xD
Oliviaaaaaaa [i just read through another entry] i have most definitely become better friends with Bogmonster. And that brings me many joys, because she is positively amazing. And i want to draw for her all the time, and play video games with her, and talk about silly things. She is great, and i wish she went to Ribery >:
And while talking about Olivia, i'll talk about Rosie/Big Red too! xD she is also amazing, in that awkward and outgoing kind of way. I don't know her very well, but she's obviously very cool if she's friends with the Harringtons. I have very gently hit the top of BigRed's amazingness xDi just need to get to know her better, that's all i can say!
And of course, we're back to "remaking" friends. Braden. Oh Braden, Braden, Braden. Last skool year, you befriended us [the upperclassman (minus Kenzie and Zack..andJulie...)] and would just disappear. Disappear, so randomly you did. To the point where it pissed me off, and this skoolyear i decided not to be friends with you. Little did i know, that there would be an extremely attractive man by the name of Brandon Lepkowski that would attend Ribery for 2009-2010
And that Braden and Brandon would become very good friends
And that Amelia would have a fatty crush on Braden which would allow me to talk to both Brandon and Braden
And that i would randomly set myself a goal to become friends with Brandon, only because he is very attractive [and actually really funny too xD]
And then, in turn (after becoming friends with K'nuckles) become pretty well friends with Braden in a matter of weeks to actually dating him >3<
And although, i am humiliated i have done so; but i have yet to feel a large amount of regret towards dating him. He has been a doll, and honest (ithink) and......well that will be said later :3
Well, that brought me to remember: K'nuckles! Wow, i met K'nuckles only about two months ago,though.. And you know what? Funny enough it was pretty much the equivalent of how i met Val; on the Internet first.
At that time, it was also the very beginning of the year. I had set myself a goal to make new friends; because Kendra, Zazu, and Mclane were giving me the cold-shoulder hardcore and it was pissing me off that they can't say shit to my face if i'm annoying them. So i took it in myself to make new friends.
Back to the story: I set myself a goal to make new friends, and K'nuckles was spoken of by Valerie a few times before. Ironically enough, "he" (or facebook?) wanted to add me as a friend. I had no clue who he was, seen him, or anything, but only knew about him from Val. So i decided, sure, i'll take that step and add him as a friend.
On a bored, bored day of his, he sent me a link which would ULTIMATELY TURN OUR LIVES AROUND! (lul) and i played omgpop with him.....So the next day i was like "i'm going to make new friends!" and i saw him in the hall, so i petted him, and alerted him that we played games the previous night.
It was insta-friendship from that moment on pretty much. We Skyped every night, and omgpop'd every night... xD until he found out Braden and i were dating, and then dissipated from my life. But i'm forcing him back in, cause he's a cool kid and we hate not having cool kids as our friends >3
WHICH, while on a rant about K'nuckles, i remembered my strange "friendship" which has puked itself out of my current classes. Case 1: Iman Belalli. I had been friends with her last skoolyear because she was in Drivers Ed with Kchan and me, and Kchan talked to her, and then Iman switched to my bus because she hadn't gotten her liscence yet... So i would talk to Iman on the bus, cause we hated everyone and called them the fuck out. The current skoolyear rolled around and Iman had her liscence... But we have Ethnic Studies together! And oh, guess what else! Learn and Earn!
Quickly Iman and i became class-buddies... She's awesome, and funny, a new type of friend who is genuine and not at the same time. She probably thinks i'm insane, or just really boring [i recently found out she thinks i'm shy...but again, another story ._.]
Case 2: Alyssa Villablanca. This woman! I didn't even know her name up until i had Learn and Earn with her, to be honest. She's friends with Zazu and Kendra, i knew that. She loved my hair, and gave me a picture of an Arnold Schwarzenegger *his last name is in the dictionary >_>* chicken [of which i still have and adore] but little did i know how much stress would illuminate itself from her very being. The type of girl she is, is still confusing me. But i accept her whole-heartedly, in that kind of....Loving, because i can, kind of friendship. There's no intentions, pitty, no super-emotional connections. Just. Because. I. Can.
Alyssa is also a doll :3
What has also been brought to my attention, though, (thanks Keara) is that i saw a nice amount of bands this year of 2009. I saw Dir en Grey for my first time. Although, the new album is bringing endless pain, i still saw them, after 6 years of waiting... And then i saw Girugamesh...Although, i did not see them play (which was very sad, the videos seemed like it was actually pretty cool)it was a good experience. Not only just to see them, and they make fun of me and me back to them, but because it allowed me to get closer to Orivia/Bogmonster and Keara. Funtimes ensued with both of them : D
I saw Cradle of Filth with Kendra; although, i didn't care much for the bands, the concert-experience of it was a good growth for me, and something to remember. How nice people can be because i'm short, and how disgusting people can be, because i'm a girl "OTL (ADAM); and even with the goods/wierds, we had the bads with the joeyjordison/w13wannabe boy who i saw at SakuraCon too being a dick and only flirting with slutgirls >_<
But i'm going to... once again... digress. This entry has become ill-thought out once again, and has become bumbles.
I will recollect.
Stinky, my delicious Stinky...You are missed, and you almost made it to a year... Almost...a year... How excited i was to behold a creature, small enough to fit in my hands. Hyper enough to play with [only in consideration to what he would let me D:] and just amusing to watch...But still be able to pet. Stinky, you are missed, through the fun times, of being too awake during the nights. And i would just pull you out of your cage, and play with you on my bed. Or watching you run around the bathtub, so angry you were half wet. Your unique coat, and favorable red eyes. Your little feets and hands/claws that were never well trimmed... Stinky, we miss, and love you...
...That was supposed to be about getting him, and how excited i was, but it turned out to be about how sad i am that he's now gone..
Well, once again, here we are. My year. Financially, i have been spending horrible amounts of money (mainly to china) for selfish reasons. I have explored ways to go with my financial ' problems' though, i made "creatures" for that Charity event my sister's landlord did. Yes, that was this year [i'm pretty amazed also. That seemed like too long ago]; it was a nice experience that someone was going to take home something i made. Unknowing of the person who made it, and where the creature was made from. That they probably have different names, or displayed somewhere silly..Or eaten, or torn apart, or burned. Which ever you wish to fantasize about... But the idea that someone actually cared enough is a nice feeling..
And now it seems that we must descend to the past couple of months.. [because it also concerns Cuba and the raised embargo]
Cuba: The raised Embargo. We already went through how i feel about the whole thing...But i suppose it is quite a feat for Cuba, and should be remembered. Also: as a side note, only Cuban Americans can go to Cuba via America[aka without going to a second country]
The Cubans, my lost heritage. The people who have died this year, and have affected me. It started with Delfina, oh Tia Delfina. You were a kicker, a beautiful woman, and you are in our hearts.
Tia Maria, it may be the last time i see you; i remember you from my childhood.. and i wish i could have known more about you.
There's the whole scare that happened with my grandma Popo quickly afterward; her insane Japanese-heart-stress-related incident.
Another of my Tia's, one who still lived in Cuba has also died this year. We obviously did not know her, but she and Delfina will be together.
Then we move to Aunt Meishelle, of my step-father's side. Her heart condition, which stressed out her own family, and our family beyond comprehension.
And with that time, came the time i will never forget. A day that our eyes were set on Tara, and her responsibilities, or lack of... Ryoko, you were a baby. You were our baby. And forever you will be.... The stress of what happened, and what didn't happen that day will not leave our hearts.
My family burst in shatters, as soon as Ryoko was found dead.
Thanksgiving, you piece of shit. Inconsiderate, awkward, and deranged. A morbid sense of humor drifted from our craniums; as we stared at "the husband and son who arrived without their wife and their mother"
The turkey was dry, and our mouths were trying to stuff our sorrow. The fight that ensued, ' pay your bills be responsible'
Christmas day, we believe everything is forgotten
Expensive purses, and shameful money was passed out
Bored faces stretched across the day
She disappears
*cut*
Enter the blond
She had everything
and could still have more
What has she become, for the sake of 'looking cool'?
She knows what she's doing
She chooses to be 'scandalous' and 'dangerous'
You were a good girl
You were a good girl with a bored upbringing
A neglectful father
A man who dates younger woman
He's fallen in himself with horror
We cry when the "irresponsible" arrives back home
She eats our food
And says "fuck you" to your face
The parents eyes, wondering what's going on with her beautiful little head
What did we do wrong
What didn't we teach you
Money's a problem in more than one place
When you're in this home
You're following their rules
But the dog is dead
We don't want to blame you
But we want you to take the blame
Understand our thoughts
Understand us,just us
......I don't understand how it ended up being a "poem"/"lyrical" [i'll blame Tara and Keara on that OTL] but that explains my last two-months-to-a-week
Here we are again, today. New Years eve. I suppose that my year has been more eventful than i realized, but most definitely nothing i have completely grown from. Nothing that will change lives and my life for years to come.
More like, the year has been full of sorrow, and poverty...
I write this only for myself [i apologize to anyone who has even gotten this far down the entry without ragequitting.] This entry wasn't meant to be read, but rather a reminder to myself, that my life hasn't been completely wasted. Though, mainly wasted...
I will not bid a "Good New Years" because it will be a lie. The most prominent things of all years to come, will be the most horrible, disgusting, and negative things to happen. But little do we realize, that with those we have those equal and opposing forces play forward. We will be filled with happiness, whether uncontrollable, or not ... There will be happiness.. We will barely remember those memories, because we only learn from what hurts us most. It is human, to forget what we love dearly, and only remember what we hate.
But with that, the year will end. And the day will end. The week will end... And life will end. We must only accept, and learn... Either from our mistakes, others mistakes, or just plain misfortune.
Good night Year
Good night People
Good night Nature
Good night Earth
Good night Love
Good night Hate
Good night Cheesey Entry... :3
I don't give a fuck about my to do list..i'm too stressed
Ohyeah, as a cute reminded to myself:
This year, my mother and i are reverting back to Latin tradition to eating 12 grapes at midnight.
Or atleast, i hope my mum is awake by then so we can do it.
We used to do it with my grandma Popo when we lived in California. We also threw water onto the street!
Yesterday my mum was trying to find her horoscope on a latin website [there's also that tradition that my grandma watches the Puerto Rican Psychic "Walter" somethingsomethignsoemthing who makes me think of a priest] and she came across an article stating "Crazy things we do on New Years"
And we remembered the grapes- i said we should do it. And my mum bought grapes today!
So our superstitions are kicking in, and we're gonna do that :3
