Cursed By My Own Mind

Well, mi amigos... to those of you I communicate with (and I know it's not often) I got a new LJ.

ouchyousting

add me there... ByeBye!

I have the best friends in the world. You can challenge me with it... but I'm determined to win.

Linda told me she wanted to take me to dinner tonight for my birthday. I believed her when she told me it was a great, new place and wanted it to be a surprise so she blindfolded me. You'd think I'd catch on but no... I'm not one to think my friends would do so much for me.

Low and behold- a surprise party at the park. I was thrilled. Food, presents, balloons... everything. And everyone.

They went to all this trouble (even knowing I'm having a slight gathering at my place later tonight for video games/movies/cake) for me. They're more like family than anything.

I cherish this.

I'll always cherish this.

Tomorrow I turn 19.

Woohoo!

(Sunday, that is)...

A lot of people are coming over to play video games.

Yey.

We're such... fun.

Dave Matthews Band was amazing. Fourth time seeing it- and I will see it again. Only I will get my hands on a backstage pass. Oh yes, yes I will.

Oh yes...

Tonight is the Dave Matthews Band concert.

It will be my fourth time seeing them...

HAHAHAHA. Complete love. Weird. What?

The end.

Six more days until this girl hits nineteen. Great.

I've crossed many paths and I will pass many more before I'm through... and my life has been good. I'm alive now and I will not take it for granted.

I will make the most of my last official teen year... let's send it off with a large hooray and a house full of friends.

That's all.

Thanks RenRen (Chinese Checkers) on the early birthday! XD

Well, today I saw XMen: The Last Stand. I must say, it was alright... but a bit of a disappointment. That's ok though, I guess. I guess...

That was followed by being treated at Chipotle for an early birthday dinner (Thank you Bobby!) and my birthday is actually next Sunday.

We then watched the Aristocrats which is... amusing, but hardly made me laugh. A few parts, I laughed... A few. Half the battle is knowing, I suppose... and I knew all too well. That didn't make much sense, but let's let it slide for now.

That is all.

Jennifer: I'm calling you to avoid going into the store.
Me: Why?
Jennifer: I'm just tired of it... (She has to get groceries from her Grandman and Mom all the time)
Me: Well... I'd have gone with you.
Jennifer: I'd have to take you back home... I don't think my grandma wants to see anyone today.
Me: That's fine.
Jennifer: You want to meet me up here or me to pick you up?
Me: I don't want to drive there.
Jennifer: God, Padilla...
Me: Well... go in by yourself. You'll be fine... I promise.
Jennifer: I'll see you in a few minutes. Bye. *Hangs up*

I love my best friend.

WHAT A DUET FOR A GIRL AND GOATHERD!!!

I've canceled my planned English major.

I will now major in Philosophy. English may be a minor.

That is all.

I'm not here to entertain assholes.

The end.

Tonight I saw men fighting in cages. Live. It was fun... I didn't know who to cheer for so I just yelled. But it was fun.

We almost got in a car wreck because people don't know how to drive and pull out into the street without looking. If Mitchi hadn't been paying attention the car would have slammed into the right side of the back seat... where I was sitting. SHe swerved just in time. It was scary.

The end.

Last night we all sat around and watched Final Fantasy Advent Children in English. It was swell... the translations are a little cheesy. And I don't like some of the voices. But other than that- right on.

The guys laid out who we were in the Advent Children casting...

Brandon- Cid
Kevin- Barret
Me- Tifa
Alyssa- Aeris
Jennifer- Yuffie
James- Cloud
Brady- Red
Brent- Vincent
Nam- Yazoo

And that is all that was there last night. Brandon left this morning. Which makes everyone sad... but we'll all be united again in July. Kevin and James have until Sunday. The gang... all together again. Nothing gives me a better feeling.

=D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMY!!!

I am extremely excited.

Tomorrow is Linda's birthday party (which is going to be a BBQ) and then this weekend the boys come into town.

I am thrilled.

Not only will I get to engage in intelligent conversation of the opposite sex... I'll get to play video games with the Masters!!!

I've got a throat on fire due to sinus drainage.

I hate spring.

For some reason I always find myself stopping the game right before I go into the final battles. I am at the final battle in FF10 and I am at the final battle in FF8. Therefore, I am going to beat FF8 (after dinner) and beat FF10 tomorrow. Then I will play FF7 and beat that. Then I will finish Kingdom Hearts... and then I will borrow Kingdom Hearts 2 from Alyssa (For I have watched her play it and it is AMAZING). All the while finishing up Mario RPG, Donkey Kong 3 and Zelda.

...If I do not get some form of life that involves going outside SOON I will probably shrivel up and die in this house.

I have a job interview on Tuesday.

Though I got the last job I interviewed for I did not accept it... because they would not let me go to Mexico.

I am not sure if I want to go to Mexico now.

I always chicken out.

My dad is scary.

The end.

Dear LiveJournal,

Not only has Alyssa got me addicted to SIMS 2... but Jennifer has got me addicted to Law and Order SUV.

I could combine the two and make a pretty sadistic world of SIMS... wait... that is not on the menu. Never mind.

Have a lovely night.

Always,

Cristina


(You see how my name is spelled Cristina? I hate it when people accuse me of spelling my name wrong. It's happened a couple of times... you'd think they could take my word for it but apparently I should carry around a birth certificate to prove I know how to spell my OWN name.)

Dear So-And-So,

I have recently become addicted to the SIMS 2. Please do not contact me until further notice.

---------

A long time ago Jennifer lost her wallet. We both did a thorough search of my car, of her house, of my house, and of all the places we had been. When we had no luck we were left to assume it had been stolen. Today I will prove my car eats things-

The wallet popped out from under the passenger seat (which is the place we had looked the most).

So not only is my car stealing my Slim Jim's... it also inhales money.

I would be more proud if it had stolen from someone OTHER than my best friend...

We also stayed up until three in the morning peeling wallpaper off her bathroom walls (they are remodeling) while Brady slept on the couch. Such fun shouldn't be allowed. It's the company that makes these things worth while...

Next it's time to remodel her kitchen Then my kitchen Then if we have any energy left, my bathroom. We're good workers... Someone should pay us.

My pizza is finished...

Signing Off,

Cristina
