Wow i haven't written in a VERY long time... so sorry...

well yesterday i went to a water park! oh yea! it was FUN! It's called Raging Waters and it's in San Dimas, CA and its "the biggest water park in California!". It wasn't my first time going, but i hadn't been there in a while, so if was fun to go again. I went with my best friend(the one i do everything with), her dad, her sister, and her sister's boyfriend. It was like going with my own family! :D

we went on all the rides, except for like a drop-out one that isn't really my style. but other than that we went on everything except this one that had too big of a line to wait in...we got home, ate yummy pasta and salad that my friend's mom made us, and then sat down to watch a movie....i think the only reason we didn't knock out then and there was that we all crashed in the car...so i guess we caught up on sleep there...

now, i can feel the side-effects of the trip...and boy, there not nice! my arms and my back are sore...like if someone had puts shots all over my arms...its not nice. this morning i was feeling terrible, so i called my aunt and told her i didn't feel good and that i wouldn't go to work today...my aunt's an artist and i help her out at her studio. Kline Academy of Fine Art...but i had to go to my moms work to get these buttons re-put on my teeth for my invisalign...so i ended up going to Zumba class... now its painful enough without having a sore body, but today was just torture! the only good thing that came out of the class was that there were two new guys there...and one was really cute! ;P but it wasn't until i got in the car after class with my mom that she told me that the one i thought was cute was looking at me a couple times during the class.... personally, i doubt it, because i was looking at him half the time and we never met gazes, so i don't think he was.... but i mean you never know! ;D

I Really Hate That!

So today i went to Zumba....like always....
My friend joined and its been fun..but apparently, we are now doing exercises... like crunches and squats, and stuff for your abs...
i like the class, i like the dancing, and i like to feel like i'm exercising...but now that we've recently started this, i don't wanna go back. You see my friend is a soccer player and she's super fit! and from what i can tell, doing the ab exercises don't bother her a bit...she does it sooo easily because she's done it a lot at her practices. This is fine! my only problem is that my abs aren't as strong as her...not nearly as strong...and i feel kinda embarrassed to not be able to do the things that she can do....For example, today we were doing these things where you had to lay on the floor and hold your feet up in different positions(toes pointed, pigeon toed, and clown feet) and i was proud of myself because i held up my legs the amount of time we were supposed to and i felt accomplished because i couldn't the last time, and i succeeded in it this time. Well i was happy until we started doing these things where you lay on the floor and your partner stands right over your head, you grab their ankles and they push your legs and your supposed to keep them straight and not let them touch the floor and bring them back up...well she went first and she did the 20 easily....now it was my turn to get on the floor...it wasn't as easy for me and the teacher came over and was doing mine and counting and i barely was able to complete it...meanwhile, everyone else had stopped doing there's to cheer me on...this would have been great....it showed that i had support from these people, but it just made me feel terrible because i felt like they were doing it to console me. I was super embarrassed and i almost cried, BUT i didn't! and to top it all off, my mom had to shoot off her mouth and make it known to everyone that i'm not in shape at the moment. I mean, yeah im not! I'm not running miles a day, but I'm healthy! I'm not overweight, i just don't currently play sports. My mom is hung up on the fact that i don't play sports. She tells everyone, and i mean everyone(she told a guy that was sitting with us in a Jacuzzi) that i don't like sports! I have never in my life said i don't like sports. I do like sports! i used to play soccer, but i stopped. She always compares me to my friend saying that i should be playing soccer like her, but the truth is, i know i would never dedicate myself to playing soccer like she does. She's an amazing player and she practices and everything. I on the other hand, would prefer to read books. I don't understand why my mom automatically assumes that i don't like sports. Its really embarrassing when she tells someone i don't like sports and i'm just standing there like "uh yes i do! i just don't want to pursue them like i know a lot of people do." I don't know, maybe this all doesn't make sense, maybe its just me feeling bad about myself that's making me write this, but i know one thing...i do feel better now after i got this all out of my system.
I hope i won't post like this again soon, but anyways, thanks for reading....

Uh-Oh!

okay, so i have a huge problem....not a teeny-weeny problem, but like a BIG, HUGE one!!!!
So i'm supposed to have  a quince in Mexico this December right? Well the date of the party, which has been already picked, is December 17. We picked this date because usually every year, we get out on the friday before the week of Christmas and have two weeks off, so we can celebrate New Years and then go back to school...Well today, i decided to go on the school website to download all the paper my mom needs to sign for registration and everything...and i decided to look up the school calendar for next year....
Well what i saw didnt please me...in fact, it almost gave me a heart attack!
it turns out we get out for vacation on December 26th and come back January 9th...
THIS IS BAD!


it means that i'm still in school when i'm supposed to be in Mexico for my party....i dont know what we are going to...sometimes i wish we could just have the party here.....but no, my family have planned it since i was like 10 to have it there, and i really doubt there is any way of getting out of it.....

I dont wanna miss that much school....i really dont! i dont care if i have to give up the party, im willing to make that sacrifice, i just really dont want to miss school....i didnt miss 1 day this year! i had perfect attendance...i didnt get sick or anything..... and i want to keep it that way!!! i dont know what im gonna do....

im gonna talk with my parents tonight and see what we can do! ill keep you guys posted....

thanks for listening  to my troubles....byeeee

Computer Blues

So, my dad thought it would be just magnificent to take my computer power chord and use it to replace his lost one, so my computer was off all weekend! That's a lot of time...the good thing that came out of it was that i got to get ahead with my reading for school and annotating. I've got less than 100 pages to go in To Kill a Mockingbird and I'm rather sad that it has to end!

Today my friend and I went to LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) to go see a Tim Burton exhibit! It was AMAZING! okay, i feel like i'm using the word "amazing" a lot....does anyone know any good synonyms? Anyways, it consisted of a lot of his artwork, sketches, paintings, and movie props! It was sooooo cool! There was this one room where the art was in like neon colors and glow in the dark colors and they put a black light on it and it was so cool! A bit creepy, but cool. That's how his work is, its a bit demented and strange, and sometimes grotesque, but if you examine it carefully, you notice how artistic it all is! It really impressed me! He is also very funny! He puts captions on some of his drawings and they're hilarious! I enjoyed myself a lot!

a big plus! there was a lot of Johnny Depp stuff!!! like the Edward Scissorhands outfit, the gloves, the angora sweater from Ed Wood, the head gear from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and things like that.... it was fun! :)

I'm tired now.... oh! i saw this movie, called The Male Animal, with Henry Fonda and Olivia de Havilland! it was hilarious! I have a huge crush on Henry Fonda! he's just such an amazing actor! i mean have you not seen 12 Angry Men?!?!!? and if i could recommend a movie...you should see The Big Street. it starts Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda, now this isnt a comedy....SHOCKER i know.... i thought she did a really good job portraying her character in this movie.... It was said to be one of her best acting performances.... i would really go and check it out if i were you! 

Well im sleepy now! Good Night everyone!

oh and if your waiting for the next chap of my story, im sorry that its taken so long, but like i said before, i havent been able to be on the computer much, but im hoping by tommorow that i will have Chapter 5 up! 

Thanks a lot guys for reading!
