I feel like I am a paradox. Maybe it's because sometimes I can be really outgoing and loud, then the next second I'm unnoticeable and shy. Or the fact that I'm smart and intellectual most of the time, then I somehow pull some of the stupidest stunts, or say some really stupid things. People say that I'm original, but sometimes I feel like the average girl who doesn't think of anything witty or creative all the time. But it's okay to be a paradox I suppose, it just makes me, me, you know?

Any who, today was the last day of summer school. As usual I read most of the time while Brittany, Mariana, and Paulette took pictures and such. We were going to play Bullshit but my brother took my cards out of my bag yesterday afternoon and didn't put them back, so we couldn't play. I'm nearly finished with Life of Pi, only 6 pages to go. In fact I should probably go finish it right now. Esteban (aka Steven) had this bad ass Joker shirt on today, I want one really bad now. I'll probably go get it this weekend, along with a Joker bobble head.

My mom found a diary that she had begun writing in when I was two years old and had stopped when I was almost four because Austin was born. She wants me to write in it now. I can understand why, she barely remembers any of her childhood and wants me to remember mine via diary. She wishes she had a diary to write in, but she didn't. I enjoy writing in it, though I forget to write everyday, though I write every couple days, which is good.

To bring a cessation to this, I hope you all keep Jerry Finn in your thoughts and prayers, he needs it now.

First Blog of Summer

School got out yesterday, it was really sad. Since I won't be seeing Nilka and all for a long time, yeah, we all cried. Today was really fun for the first day of Summer, Brittany, Evan, and Kyler came over and we hung out, and messed around like we always do when we hang at my house. It was nice.

Tomorrow, which is almost today, my mom's having a Lia Sophia party and my aunt is coming, I can't wait to see her, I haven't seen her in a while and I always enjoy seeing her. I'm really hoping that my cousin comes with my aunt, she said that she might.

I might have more concerts to go to this month, a Warped Tour pit stop at Jillians on the 23rd with Evan, Nilka, and Brittany, which I still need to ask about. And Ashes Divide at the Canyon Club on the 27th, which I asked about and mom said I might be able to go.

The preview to 'Ether' is fucking fantastic. Sounds a lot like the introduction to 'Girls Not Gray'.

Viva La Vida!

I certainly haven't blogged for a while. Wow, almost a month. Craziness. My room is now redone, with new carpet, a new bed and dresser too. Oh and my walls are painted, they look really nice. School ends in two days, TWO DAYS. The wait is nearly over! I'll be seeing some friends of mine that I haven't seen in a year, which is really exciting. Hopefully my friends and I are going to hang out later this week. Which would be super.

Then next week is the Panic At the Disco concert, which is going to be REALLY FUN. Tomorrow for my P.E. final I have to run a mile (four laps around the track) in ten minutes. It's a guaranteed fail.

This summer is going to be great, other than hanging out with friends and going to the movies and such, I hope to go to more concerts if I can. Lots of good CDs are coming out this summer, like the new Weezer and Coldplay, can't wait for those.

I had to buy my own copy of Juno the other day because my mother is a bitch and has refused to buy it unless she saw it before she bought it. Which means she was going to wait to check it out from the library to see it. She still hasn't watched it yet.
