Summer's here! [18 Jun 2004|10:43am]
[ mood | happy ]

Wow, summer is finally here! I'm soooo happy! Happier than I've been in a long time. Finals are finally over! I feel so free and relaxed now. I'm going to the highschool to check my grades today...and I know they aren't gonna be good, even though I studied my ass off for finals. Last night at Tal's was really fun. I have more energy than I used to...maybe it's because I've been sleeping a lot more. Hmm I wonder why...

New very boring icon. I'm not creative so I couldn't think of any good lyrics or any words to put on it. But it's good enough I guess.

Wow this year went by so fast. Exactly a year ago I was graduating from Beverly Vista. That felt like yesterday. I'm really happy with all the new people I've met and become good friends with this year. Hopefully next year things will be better because I'll be much lessed stressed with all of my easier classes. I'm really not looking forward to summer school...

[ mood | stressed ]

Wow I've never been so stressed in my life. I can tell this week will be a lot more stressful than finals week. I really can't wait until school is over...in only two weeks I will finally be happy and alive. I have around 15 projects/tests this week and I don't even know where to begin. To make things even more stressful for me, I have borderline grades in all of my classes. I should be doing homework, but I'd much rather update than study. My goal for these two weeks is to go to sleep before one and to stay off of livejournal and friendster. I think this will definitely be the last time I update until the summer.

Vote Amanda Leiter for ASB Secretary! [23 May 2004|04:12pm]

[ music | Can't Stop- Red Hot Chili Peppers ]

So this weekend was pretty good. I decided to update when I wasn't in a bad mood because people probably get the idea that I'm depressed. I'm not really depressed, I'm just emotional and I like letting things out when I'm upset. And when I'm happy I usually have better things to do than to update.

I've realized how lucky I am to have such an amazing friend in my life. I was punished on Friday and stuck home all day. Then, my best friend calls me, and is willing to sacrifice his Friday to come over my house. I don't know many people who would actually do that for me. It's such a great feeling, knowing that I have a friend that's always there me whenever I need him. He's the only person that has the ability to make me happy, and forget about all of my problems, when I'm really upset. We can go on and on, talking about things I couldn't talk about with anyone else. I'm so grateful for our friendship.

So my grades aren't so good right now, but there's nothing I can do about that. At least there is less than a month left of school, and then summer. I'm taking Photo 2 and tennis conditioning. Oh yeah, I got into Teen Line. That means I will be commited to so many hours of community service, but I think it might be a good experience.

Please vote for my sister for ASB Secretary.

Happy Mother's Day! [09 May 2004|04:22pm]
[ mood | groggy ]
[ music | I Believe In A Thing Called Love- The Darkness ]

Happy Mother's day everyone. I haven't updated in a while. Nothing too exciting has been going on. I am so depressed...I discovered I am allergic to chlorine. Out of all things to be allergic to. That means I can never go swimming again. Today was probably the last day I'll ever go in a pool. Swimming was one of the very few things I enjoyed. Whenever I swim, I get these huge disguisting bumps on my face, and I look like godzilla. But then they go away in like half an hour. It's weird because this used to never happen to me.

Well this weekend started off bad...someone stole all of the cash that was in my wallet. And there was a lot in it. I seem to be getting more unlucky by the day. Mean Girls was the best movie. Anyone who hasn't seen it should go and see it right now. Last night we all went to Ryan's...it was fun. We saw Cruel Intentions, which is also the best movie.

I'm turning into a disaster. I'm starting to get bags under my eyes and my grades, especially in math and history, are much worse. I don't seem to function normally anymore. Last year, I was such a lively and happy person. If I ever seem to be energetic, then there must be something terribly wrong. I'm just turning into an even more boring, dull, and tired person than I used to be.

[ music | Closing Time- Semisonic ]

Some people do an excellent job of making me feel like shit. I'm tired of everyone telling me the same thing over and over again. I've had enough of it. It's not like their opinion matters to me at all. Unless I ask for an opinion, then I don't want one. I really hate how people act like they know everything, and they really don't. If people know I don't want to hear bad things, then why do they say it? It's not like their advice will help me with decisions. People are making me feel like a bad person too. That I am making horrible decisions and being stupid. Everyone should really stop....especially if they don't even know the truth about things. It's just ignorant of people to say things when they don't know what they're talking about. The only opinions I care about are the opinions I ask for, and of course my own. I'm really tired of all this crap. Unless someone has something good to say, then they shouldn't say it at all.

[ mood | bitchy ]

I usually love hot weather, but today it made me feel disguisted. And I discovered something bad about a certain person, so that just made things even worse. I've finally come to the conclusion that I can't trust anybody, or believe what anyone says. I really wish things weren't like that...but people are just asses that think they can get away with it. Is there anyone out there I can actually trust? Maybe two or three...but I wish there were more. I hate liars more than anything in the world. If someone knows I'm gonna find something out, then they probably shouldn't lie about it, or act all innocent, to my face. Some people, who I have actually gotten to know pretty well, just surprise me.

I have also decided that I don't like livejournals. They suck. My grades are lower because of them and I can't say anything personal without being questioned. Maybe this will be my last entry, depending on my mood.

[ music | Californication- Red Hot Chili Peppers ]

I haven't updated in a while because I am having parent/internet problems that I don't feel like talking about right now. This weekend was okay...I got to miss school Friday because of the Romeo and Juliet field trip. The play was pretty boring, but probably much better than school. And I'm sure everyone would agree that the casting of parts was very interesting... The night before I only got two hours of sleep so I was acting a little weird. I think I am sleep deprived. Saturday was Adam's (Rebecca's brother's) Bar Mitzvah. It brought back so many memories of Rebecca's Bat Mitzvah. Rebecca, you looked so pretty and I loved your hair. It was fun just hanging out with everyone. (Rebecca, Mallory, Nick, Tara, Cristina, not the seventh graders.) I got a haircut yesterday. I think it looks a lot shorter, but most people don't even notice it. I have a lot of homework to do, so I should probably get started on that.

Last day of spring break... :( [12 Apr 2004|05:35pm]
[ mood | sad ]
[ music | Mellow Song- Rooney ]

I can't believe school starts tomorrow! How depressing. And I still have so much homework to do. Palm Springs was pretty fun...but I have no pictures. I ended up getting kinda sunburned...oh well. Overall it was a very nice and relaxing trip. I am so proud of myself. My family and I were all at a restaurant, and my cousins were all eating bread right in front of me. But I controlled myself and didn't eat any of it. This was especially hard to do because the bread was fresh and hot and looked really good. But I managed to control myself...yay. Just one more day and then I can finally eat an un-kosher cookie.

I don't feel like going through each day to explain what I did. I saw two movies this break, Ned Kelly with David, and Girl Next Door with Nick. Girl Next Door was a good movie...better than I expected. Ned Kelly was very boring and gory, but both Heath Ledger and Orlando Bloom were in it. ;)

So I was talking to some people today, and I found out certain things about some people. It's sad to think that you can be good friends with someone, and then find out the blunt truth about them. I just wish people weren't so fake. But who knows...people can change, can't they? And for all of those people who want to know who I'm talking about, please don't ask me.

Wow, I have a messed up personality. )

Palm Springs [08 Apr 2004|09:21pm]
[ mood | full ]
[ music | Karma Police- Radiohead ]

Right now I am in Palm Springs. I came here this morning. The weather here is sooo nice...around 90 degrees. But right now I am extremely bored because my family is sleeping and I don't really have anything exciting to do. So today I went shopping, bought nothing, and swam. And I just sat outside and listened to my iPod the entire day. I don't know where I'd be without it. Well...today is Daisy's (my dog) 11th birthday. She looks much older than eleven, and I didn't buy her a birthday gift because she's a dog.

If anyone is bored, call me because I'm probably bored too.

Passover :( [05 Apr 2004|03:38pm]
[ mood | peaceful ]
[ music | Saints and Sailors- Dashboard Confessional ]

I finally know what it's like to not stress out about homework and studying. Not including today, I haven't really been that bored. Saturday and Sunday were fun. On Saturday, Rebecca and I walked to Century and met up with Mal. They came over and we went to eat ice cream...it was very scary. Then we went to Justin's birthday party, which was fun. On Sunday, Nick came over around 11:30, we walked to Farmer's Market, and met up with Mallory, Rebecca, Kyle, Kory and Aviel. It was really fun...I felt like such a bum. We walked around Beverly Drive and the grassy area near city hall. Nick took so many pictures...he'll probably post them soon. Today I did pretty much nothing. I enjoyed my last meal of bread by having Il Trem. Passover is the worst holiday of the year...I think I'm the only Jewish person that hates Matzah. But I will try to survive this long week. I was bored all day so I made some pics on photoshop.

I am obsessed with Adobe Photoshop )

Spring Break! [02 Apr 2004|06:21pm]
[ mood | refreshed ]
[ music | Green Eyes- Coldplay ]

Spring break is finally here! It's hard to believe that I have a whole week off from school. This week will probably be filled with boredom. Last night was so much fun...we all went to Gali's house. Thanks Gali for having me over. :) All of us just talked, went on her swing, and played the guitar and piano. Jon taught me how to play Colorblind by Counting Crows on the piano. I'm obviously not that good at it, but now I all of the sudden love playing the piano. I can't believe I quit ...I wish I never did. I will probably continue to play because if I don't, then I will eventually forget everything, and I don't want that to happen. I am starting to get sick...:( and my throat has been really hurting me.

So this morning I did absolutely nothing. Then Mallory and I went shopping at the Westside Pavlion, and I finally found a pair of sunglasses. But Mallory didn't find the lipgloss she wanted. I can't believe it was the first time in like five years we have been together alone. Well, it was fun...and I still don't know what I'm doing later tonight.

Pics of my new sunglasses (not very good quality pics):

[ music | The drums my neighbors are playing ]

What an unpleasant day. I don't even wanna go into detail about all the bad grades I got on everything. I am trying to work, but my stupid neighbor is playing the harmonica and the drums, so I can't concentrate...even with the windows closed. And I have a geometry test tomorrow, and a bio test I need to study for.

The most embarrassing thing happened at P.E. today. Jamie, Annie, and I were way behind the rest of the class, and we were trying to follow them into the weight training room. We were sorta lost, and we didn't realize that there was a sign that says "Boys Locker Room" on top of the doors. We walked right in, thinking that our class was in there. Then this guy went up to us and was like, "Um, you are in the guys locker room." It was so humiliating, but sort of funny.

And in Spanish I messed up on the script. I was supposed to say "Soy colombiana," but I said "Eres Colombiana" instead, so that messed everything up. And in math I was yelled at for talking, again. And tomorrow I can't sleep in because I have to take the AP Euro test that I know I will fail. I don't even wanna take AP Euro, so it will be a waste of time.

This was such a fun weekend. Friday was nothing amazing, just went on Beverly Drive, and then to Century and got a skirt from Abercrombie. And it was Marissa's and Justine's birthday...happy belated birthday. Yesterday, it was Amanda's 17th birthday, and I got her a C&C shirt that I will be borrowing a lot. I went shopping, got another skirt and a free city shirt, and then went to Frida's with the family for her birthday. The waiters there are sooo hot! Lindsey and I were trying to take pictures of them...but none of them turned out so good. Then it was Marissa's Sweet 16. It was soo much fun! I had the best time. So here are some pics of her party.

[ music | Like a Virgin- Madonna ]

I promised myself I wouldn't go online the entire day. I got home, and after ten minutes, I went online. And now I am on livejournal, even though I should be doing homework.

Good things that happened this week:
- A on Spanish test
- A on Romeo and Juliet stuff
- made 26 dollars from counting up all of my coins
- I killed a spider last night, second time in my life.

Bad things:
- D on math quiz...what a surprise :(
- C dice average (went from a 120% to a 73%)
- I don't have a cell phone
- I'm stubbing my toe a lot, and it hurts

Anyways...the assembly today was really good. They all have such amazing voices. I remember the days of YADA, when I performed in all of those shows. That was so much fun.
I'm really exctied for the Romeo and Juliet field trip on April 16. It's gonna be so fun, especially because I haven't missed a day of school all year. That was the first un-bitchy thing Mrs. Deaver has done for us.

Someone I don't know told me I look Persian today. That was the first time someone has ever told me that.

I want my cell phone... [20 Mar 2004|10:12pm]
[ mood | angry ]

Wow. I can't believe it. I lost my one and only loved posession, my cell phone. I'm so pissed off. I was with people at Century tonight, and when I went to check my purse, it wasn't there. What makes the situation more pathetic is that I got a new cell phone on my birthday, which was like four months ago. That phone got stolen the first day I had it, actually the first hour, in the girl's locker room. My parents had to buy me a brand new one. I lost that phone tonight. Now I am gonna have to get the phone number transferred to my dad's leftover crappy phone. Why am I such bad luck? Why do things like this always end up happening to me? I searched everywhere for it and called it a million times. This is so annoying. And now I'm gonna have to buy a new cell phone with my own money...just great. I was saving up money to buy a digital camera...guess I will never get one.

[ music | Santeria -Sublime ]

Good morning! I really have been enjoying this weekend...probably because school has been off of my mind. Yesterday, I went to Il Trem with Nick, his first time. We walked back to my house, and he left for his sister's bat mitzvah stuff. I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with Mallory, Rebecca, David, and Mikey later that night. It was sort of weird...pretty confusing. And that's what I did on my Persian New Year. I got into some conflicts with my mom yesterday because I didn't want to go to Jonathan's singing show. She was so mad at me. But he didn't care...I gave him half a pack of Bubblicious gum and all was forgiven. Little kids get so easily amused.

I want to be tan! )

I love it when school starts at 12 and I have 40 minute classes. Unfortunately next year, this won't happen because I will be a sophomore...oh well. So I woke up around 9:30 and had a chocolate croissant, chocolate chip scone, and palmier for breakfast. School was boring...I had only three 40 minute classes, which was good. And tomorrow I get to sleep in too. In math today, I found five dollars on the floor and took it. Of course, I asked everyone around me if it was theirs, and they said it wasn't. But I still have a feeling of guilt.

So in English, I have a Shakespearean sonnet due tomorrow. Mine really sucks...I am writing a fake story about how I am in love with someone who cheated on me. I talked to Danielle and Natassia about this...they are also gonna write fake love sonnets. It is really hard to write, especially because it's not true. If I get an A+ on it, and I know I won't, then I will post it. I strongly dislike Mrs. Deaver...so I hope it scares her. I think she thinks I'm mute, because all I do is sleep in her class.

School really sucks. I got my progress report filled with bad grades. In middle school, I was such a good student...each year my grades get worse. I used to never get Ns when I was in middle school. As a matter of fact, ninth grade was the first year I have ever gotten an N. And what confuses me even more is that I got the comment, "Excellent class participation" in bio even though I have never raised my hand the entire school year.

This has been a really good and relaxing weekend. On Friday, we saw The Secret Window. Pretty scary, and a little weird. Saturday morning was my third driving lesson. Except this lesson was different because I didn't drive in a car that said "Student Driver" on it. It was sooo scary, I was freaking out the whole time. But I drove safely all the way to Melrose Driving School, without hitting anything. I'm so proud of myself.

Last night, I went to Gina's house...I had soo much fun. The people I was with last night (Gina, Gali, Nicole, Paige, Danielle, Kelsey, Mikey, Justin, Garrett, etc.) are very welcoming and fun to be with. I feel so comfortable around them...and as many people know, it takes a while for me to open up to people I have just met. There is something about them that makes me feel so comfortable...they are just so accepting. I don't feel like I have to be shy around them, whereas with others, I don't feel comfortable saying things because I won't be accepted. I like hanging out with people that I can relate to, and who laugh at my jokes, or I laugh at theirs. I'm really glad I met these people. They are definitely not clicky, and I can tell they are willing to make new friends too. I feel like I can actually get to know them. There are other people that I have tried to get to know, but it is impossible. There are just some people that are more friendly and welcoming than others. I just wanna say thanks to all the new people I have met because it really makes me happy to know that there are welcoming people like you out there.
