I'm in love, I'm in love. I want to scream it to the world!
Haha, hey guys (or whoever the fuck is reading this?). Long time no chat. My life has been hectic, beautiful, and SO much fun in these past few months. I am happy, so happy. (which is funny because I'm currently sitting in a classroom at Mesa college right now making up the 'D' that I got in Poli Sci...thanks Dr. Mac)
A few points that I'd like to addres...
- I'm going to University of Oregon in the fall and am more excited than I can put into words, but very nervous to carry on a long distance relationship.
- Jon is the love of my life. Period. :)
- S.W.E.D.
- Prom is saturday! We have intense plans and a group of 56...should be interesting.
- Unfortunately, my adorable bunny, Meaty is lost and has been for about a month and a half. I loved him more than I could have ever imagined I would and I miss him more than anything.
There isn't much else that I really want to talk about on livejournal but let's just say that life is good, and I can't wait to be done with high school. 2 weeks left!

[15 Jul 2007|01:26pm] |
My life right now consists of dancing, the trifecta, school, jon, and rabbits.
- We started rehearsal last week for a peice that Michael Mizeraney of Malashock Dance is doing for his company. It's really beautiful.
- The trifecta have so much fun together, it's insane. I'm sooo not comprehending the fact that Flan is leaving in a few months. We're going to be the "bifecta" without her and that makes no sense.
- Danceplace san Diego workshop starts in a few weeks.
- I might do Eric Geigers 5x5 and possibly Bradleys
- I am taking a class at charter school and it's kicking my ass. I don't teach myself from books well.
- Again, jon is the love of my life.
- I am trying to stop this crazy rabbit lady from abusing rabbits currently. Really sad situation, has over 60 rabbits in tiny, dirty cages. called the police, animals protective services etc... trying to get them homes. let me know if you're interested in adopting an adorable little bun. (she has babies!)

I find it strange that after not posting for months, Jenan and I both decide to post on the same day. (and no i'm not writing this because she did, haha)
Anyway, hello Livejournal world. How are you? I'm quite all right myself, thank you.
Last night I came up with an idea to put on a dance performance based on some of the problems going on in the world today. (Support our troops not the war, help Africa out, Peace in the middle east, etc) I'd like to have friends and other dancers choreograph to songs based around these themes and then donate atleast 80% of our profit to an organization that helps with some of these things. If we make enough, I'd like to donate to more than one organization, though.
I'd almost indefinitely make that my senior exibition, because I know it will be quite the project if I do take it on. (Which I really think I'm going to do)
Give me ideas if you're reading this, k? Songs that inspire, places to donate to, places to preform at, world issues to adress. I really want to focus on the idea of "kids helping kids." I want all the pieces to be choreographed and danced by people under the age of 19.
Help me out people!

We're looking for donations, too! If you have old stuff to donate or you want to make cookies or lemonade for the bake sale, let me know!

If you want to change the world, repost this. If you don’t have 200 Myspace friends, encourage 200 of your friends and family members to do each of these things and change the world for the better.
- If 200 of my Myspace friends ate 5 Yoplait yogurts a month and sent in the tops for breast cancer we could essentially have donated $1,200 in only one year to help find a cure for Breast Cancer. Each top counts at 10 cents for the Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer foundation.
- If 200 of my Myspace friends searched 10 times a month for a year on goodsearch.com we could make $240 altogether for any organization.
- If 200 of my Myspace friends composted, we would be capable of saving 40,000 pounds of food from being sent to a landfill. The average American family throws away 200 pounds of compostable food each year.
- If 200 of my Myspace friends sent a birthday card to an orphan in Mexico once a month for a year through http://www.simplysmiles.org/donate.cfm?i=2&CFID=7200954&CFTOKEN=75053644 we would generate 2400 smiles.
- If 200 of my Myspace friends decided against chewing 25 cent gum 72 times, we could sponsor 200 African children through school. Go to cuschool.org or galileeschool.org to sponsor a child NOW.
-If 200 of my Myspace friends skipped a meal once a month for a year and gave it to a homeless person, we could feed 6 people 1 meal a day for a year and 1 person a meal every other day for a year.
- If 200 of my Myspace friends clicked 'Fund food For animals' on theanimalrescuesite.com once a month for a year we would generate 1,416 bowls of food for animals in shelters and sanctuaries. If we did it everyday, we would generate 43,070 bowls.
- If 200 of my Myspace friends logged onto therainforestsite.com and clicked ‘Preserve Endangered Land’ we could preserve 27,360 square feet of land in rainforests around the world. If we clicked everyday we would preserve 832,200 square feet of land.
- If 200 of my Myspace friends went to theliteracysite.com and clicked ‘Fund Books For Kids’ once a month for a year we could put 24 free books into the hands of children who can’t afford them. If we clicked it everyday for a year we could get 730 free books.
- If 200 of my Myspace friends went to thechildhealthsite.com and clicked ‘Fund Healthcare For Children’ once a month for a year we could provide health care for 168 poor children. If we clicked it everyday for a year we could help 5,110 kids.
-If 200 of my Myspace friends went to thehungersite.com and clicked ‘Help Feed The Hungry’ once a month for a year we could feed the hungry 2,640 cups of food. If we clicked it everyday for a year we could generate 80,300 cups.
If each of my 200 Myspace friends had 200 of THEIR Myspace friends do each of these simple acts of goodwill we would accumulate $240,000 to fight breast cancer, earn $48,000 through good search, save 8,000,000 pounds of compostable food, create 480,000 smiles, sponsor 40,000 African children, feed 1,315 homeless people for a year, generate 283,200 bowls of pet food, save 5,472,000 square feet of rainforest, give 4,800 books, provide healthcare for 33,600 children, and give 528,000 cups of food to the needy.

| Compost |
[19 Sep 2006|07:43pm] |
What the fuck dog?
Yeah what the fuck dog is right. I was reading this on line thread today about what not to put in your compost heap and I stumbled upon some wacko saying, "Yeah I composted my golden retriever last year!" Everyone in the thread was obviously a bit disturbed about this so they asked the woman who her "composting mentors" were. She then went on to quote a few of her "composting mentors" and one of them happened to be THE compost guru of Texas. Malcom Beck!
I hate Texas more than life itself but I went on to read his website. I did NOT expect to find what I did there. He had several pretty radical articles but the one that stood out the most to me was the one about composting YOURSELF! He explained it like it was a pretty necessary thing, but it was strange. I want to e-mail him and ask if he's going to have his body composted but I don't want to be too forward and condescending.
He did have some pretty decent theories though. He wrote about how the deaths of all those buffalo a few centuries ago sped up the process of Global warming because of all the effects it had on the environment. Since their super organic manure was pretty much everywhere, the grass grew at a faster rate, was more healthy, and needed a lot less water to keep it that way. See the problem? Since our soil isn't as good without the millions of buffalo, our crops aren't as good, so we resort to really shitty measures to keep ourselves "healthy." Inorganic soil, excessive CO2 emissions, etc. It's a giant chain of really interesting things, and he explains it well. Go to his website! www.malcolmbeck.com

I used to listen to songs about suicide 24/7. All I wanted to do was die from the age of 12-16. No lies, every single day. That teen thing I suppose.
I don't even remember the last time I wanted to kill myself now, which is a bigger change than I can even describe. Everything is in place as well as I think it ever will be despite the fact that I still go to Scripps Ranch and there are still people who create philanthropic clubs for college credit without even really caring about the purpose of the club.
Speaking of clubs, Invisible Children club is driving me crazy but I'm happy right now so I'm optimistic about the outcome. We'll help them out even if it's not through school and I'm okay with that and ready to move forward and get stuff done.
Sorry to rub my hapiness in everyones faces, I always hated when people did that to me. I'm just proud of myself is all, I feel like I have some sort of purpose, and I have some level of tolerance all of a sudden. I think that love thing helped everything out a bit. The funny part is that I basically woke up this way one day and never looked back. Sure that was only a few months ago, but you get my drift.

| Iraq/Afghanistan/War |
[04 Sep 2006|12:43am] |
Today its been officially declared that more Americans have died in Iraq/Afghanistan than they did on 9/11. This makes me extremely upset but I'm glad that such an important statistic has come out. Americans really need to wise up and realize that our government officials are the real problem. The death toll numbers are increasing everyday despite the fact that the news as well as the government had told us that things would improve dramatically after the capture of Sadaam. If they really are helping the Iraqi people, as they claim to be, then why have more Iraqi civilians died than any other group of people during the war?
This website puts a lot of things into perspective for me, and hopefully many other U.S. citizens. Each of those drops of blood represents a death, and for what reason? Nothing has come out of this war except for the loss of thousands of mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, friends, husbands, and wives.
Out of the 51 key republican leaders only 4 of them served in the military, and only one of them was actually in combat. They have no idea how great of an impact they are causing on the lives of thousands, if not millions of people. I'd like to see Bush explain to a 5 year old why her mother never returned from her business trip overseas.

Totally planted the most bitchin herb garden ever today with labels and everything. They have a few snail friends on them already. I got blood worms for the compost as well. 200 of them as a matter of fact. They've started eating away at everything in there. Who knew gardening could be so fun?

Sometimes when an idea just won't go away you have to do something about it. It sounds so simple and in retrospect it really shouldn't be. Some things really are harder than they look.
Why is it that the only thing I'm thinking about is that I'll miss your body heat too much. I'm discovering that I've clung on for far too long. We didn't cherish what it was that we had and now we're both trying too hard to push it away.
My mind is made up that I can't deal with you any longer. I would rather never see you again to save myself from the embarassment of wanting to come back again but it isn't that easy. My body is starting to ache for you but I know I can't give in to that anymore.
I'm upset that we never got to the landmarks that I believed we would get to. There is/was/will always be something in my heart telling me that they'll happen. At this point, the devil on my left shoulder has told me one too many times that I should get myself out and as far as I know, that's in my best interest.
Out of self-respect, I need to let you go and for you to let me go.

Lately I've felt as insignificant as an online poker tournament with a 10$ pot. No one should feel a connection with the child that drowned in the pool while his friends swam atop his helpless body. He tried with all his might to get to the top of the water, but just couldn't get there in time, his tiny lungs wouldn't allow it. Other people were there first, playing a game of volleyball. His parents were watching the other kids, and his friends forgot about him altogether.
I need to throw/give away a lot of things. I've been getting a lot of flashbacks of bad memories, and I don't think some of the things in my room help in weaning my mind off the stupid things that I often think about.

Apparently my mom reads my livejournal. I don't know why anyone would, especially her. I don't write enough cool, racy stuff. I should probably become an alcoholic and a drug addict, maybe that will make it a little more interesting for her.
It's really upsetting that Jenan and I can be so giving, and honest but are being accused of wrong doing on an almost daily basis. I don't know how much more charity work we can do to look any better. Invisible Children is all we think about. When we think about sex, we think about Aids in Africa, not how much of it WE can have. What more should we be doing? I don't remember the last time either of us have lied to our parents.
Just because we don't hang out with many girls and because 4 years ago we snuck out of the house a few times, doesn't mean we're bad people. It's awful when the person you trust the least is your own mother. Being lied to for nearly a year wasn't enough for her I guess, she had to break trust with my best friend and myself as well. Great decision making, mom. You're really a lot of help.

My modern workshop is coming to an end tomorrow. I'm sad because I met a lot of really cool people, and that's a rarity for me. Some of them are going to come to APA and take classes with us. It'll be good to see them again every so often.
I suppose this is coming from the wrong person, but dancers are really cool people. All of us are so creative, fun, and thoughtful. When I say all of them, I really do mean all of them, not just a select few. It's cool to be a part of such a crowd. Everyone has a story to tell and an idea to share.
I've learned to be creative not just with my dancing, but with my thoughts as well. I understand everything a lot more than I did before, and I feel a lot more free than I did before the workshop. Jean (one of my teachers) has perfected the art of freedom like nobody's business. It's hard to explain, but she's just soulful and happy and dances whenever she feels like it. I can only hope to become as cool and fearless a 62 year old as she is.
And yes, I AM stroking that guys butt with a fake flower. It took about 10 trial runs until I stopped laughing while doing this. The guy is a total creep. You want stories? I'll give you stories. We'll see how we do during the shows tomorrow. (Which everyone should come to)
