| snickerdoodles ; america's answer to the churro |
[Feb. 17th, 2009|10:18 pm] |
friends, i now know the secret to america's snickerdoodle obsession..
the snickerdoodle is simply white america's answer to the churro.
i know, it sounds crazy, but it's true.
along with stealing other people's land, committing the first ever act of genocide..and our love for spreading democracy..america has one other favorite pasttime..and it's not baseball people...
it's bastardizing food from other nations...
this is not to say it's not good..just perhaps a rip off..
the french fry is another good classic...this one was a blatant rip off...
the snickerdoodle was more like an inside job.... |

[Dec. 22nd, 2008|01:49 pm] |
I aim to be 155 and at least a definite size 8 or 9 in pants by february.
It's not going to be easy, but I will do it.
If it means that for a while I'm going to be dropping off the face of the earth and the only people that see me are my family and my boyfriend..sorry and so be it.
It's not a new years resolution..just something I've been wanting to do.
I'm doing it because I love my body! I want to be as healthy and happy as I can be!
I've decided I'm going to document what it's going to be like on a different livejournal.
If you want to add me, you can..It won't be hard to find me if you try..
I also want to get my ass in gear as far as driving goes! |

I love to watch you blush, and when our hues match to show the shared blame, I can't help but feel as though
I've received a gift.
I wish that I had a photographic memory so I could make a scrapbook of you and I..That way I would know for certain that you'll always be in the back of my mind.
I can't make promises to you because a promise can be broken and that's just not the kind of girl I am.
Risk management is my side hobby, and even though you're a 'high risk applicant'...I've got you covered.

1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."
One.I absolutely adore cooking and baking for people. It's something I wish I could do for all of my friends at least once. I don't know why but I guess it's just one of the ways I show my love for them.
Two.I'm pretty sure I have an oral fixation. I'm not really embarassed about it..I just get mad when people act like I'm trying to be sexy by telling them about it...I put random things in my mouth instead..like paperclips,bottle caps, pen caps,and random plastic bits..
Three.Generally I'm very talkative and happy-go-lucky..If you see me and you think something's up, if I'm not sick or swamped with work..No mattter what..something is wrong. I'm either angry or sad.Even if I tell you something isn't wrong, I'm most likely just trying to keep it in.
Four. I'm an incredibly maternal person for some reason. I don't know why, but I am.
I like to take care of people,watch out for them and protect them. Don't ask me why, but I get all motherly when someone's upset,sick,hurt,dealing with a break-up,in danger, or not having a good day. They nicknamed me Mama Bear at camp.
Five. When I get new music on my iTunes I listen to it obsessively.For weeks I live off of my "Recently added" playlist. I don't know why..I just do.
Six. If I like someone, I'm horrible about keeping it inside and making it seem like I don't. I've never been good about keeping that a secret. Maybe it's because I always figured that it never hurts to get your name out there, I mean you never know how the other person feels untill you try.
Seven. I have a temper. I think I get that from my mom and (birth)dad.
It doesn't take much to frustrate me or make me mad..but you have to work pretty hard to get me angry.
I tag everyone who reads this peice o' shite. |

RED = ANGER
1. Are you currently mad at someone:
Nope, just frustrated.
2. Which of your family members has the worst temper:
My mom.
3. Have you ever thrown something at anyone:
Not to intentionally hurt them, but yes, a few paper balls have been known to fly out of my hand every now and then
4. Does your face turn red when you’re angry:
Yeah, I think so, but only when I'm really angry.
5. When you’re mad do you prefer to stare angrily or yell:
Depending on how angry I am, I could do both.
ORANGE = EXCITEMENT
1. Has anyone ever thrown a surprise party for you:
Yes:)
2. Are you easily excited:
Hah, about some things, yes.
3. What event is coming up that you’re most excited about:
I guess this weekend, if that counts as an event..
4. If you won a million dollars, what would be your first thought:
New clothes/shoes.
5. If you could have anything right now what would it be:
The option to do my schoolwork from home, so I wouldn't have to actually go to school.
I could just do my work, and then go outside, or go to Berkeley.
YELLOW = SELF DISCOVERY
1. Name:
Samantha
2. Birthday:
May 25th
3. What’s your main goal in life:
To achieve as many of my goals and dreams as I can.
4. Do you want to have children:
Not now. I think at some point, definitely.
5. How do you want to die:
Happy and with no regrets.
GREEN= OPINIONS
1. Are you against gay marriage:
NO. I can't imagine why someone would be either.
2. Lower the drinking age:
Yeah,sure. Only because at 18 you can legally by cigarettes and porn, and you're also allowed to join the military and go kill people in foreign countries, I think you can also buy guns at 18 too. I think it's stupid that at 18 you can get a license to kill pratically and yet..you can't go buy alcohol..
3. Capital Punishment:
I don't know..I don't know enough about it to really have any opinion.
4. Abortion:
I believe in a woman's right to choose, and if she chooses to have any abortion then so be it.
People need to respect that. There are so many reasons I believe in them, or at least the right to one..
I kind of go all feminist when I talk about it.
5. Democrat or Republican:
Democrat,as a woman how could I not be?
BLUE = LOVE
1. Do you love someone:
Not romantically..
2. Do you have a bf/gf:
Nope.
3. Is it better to have loved and lost than never loved at all:
I'm not sure. I mean at least when you've loved and lost, you know what the feeling is like..
but then afterward, I'm sure everything sucks and you probably chalk everything else in your life up to those
fantastic moments with that person..
I think I'd have to go with never loving at all..at least you can't get hurt..
4. Do you believe in love at first sight:
No.
5. Would you tattoo your lovers name on your body:
Not unless they died.
Those kinds of tattoos are the kiss of death to relationships..
PURPLE = Q&A
Q: How many beds did you lay in today:
1
Q: What color shirt are you wearing:
What shirt?

I wish I were here :
Everything about it is what I need/want in life.
Blegh.
I'm moody for some reason. I think maybe it's cause I'm tired.
MErr..
SFindiefest is coming up soon..I'm not sure I'll have the time to go, but if I do..
I might have to round up a posse..or perhaps just one or two other people who appreciate this sort of thing.I mean they are indie documentaries ,so..who knows.s.
I'm in the process of looking up some of the trailers..
I talked to Max last night for like a bajillion hours again,only not so much because homeboy is sick and he needed to at least try and go to bed at a reasonable hour..Which was understandable.
He sounded all stuffy and nasily..Which was adorkable.
I think it's funny that we've only known each other for like ..3 days-ish.

I hope that hoe gets better.
I told him last night I was going to blog about him telling his friends about the whole "james dean" comment..and I did..

I just took the best shower ever, and I shaved..WOOOTTT..
This means I can spend all day rubbing them together in between doing loads of laundry.
I put my contacts in after the shower and I was really impressed..
This is the first time I've been able to just pop em' in without any blinkage,fall-age, or smudgyness.
It looks crappy outside.
I kinda want to go for a walk while I put my laundry on, but I don't know if I'm motivated..
Plus, my head phones are broken and I dont feel like walking up to Mira Vista without music.
I might just take a nap and do some homework.
I was going to call people and drag them out so we could chill..
but then I got sidetracked.
..
I contemplated deleting some of the old entries from last year..but I didn't.
It's not that I didn't want to...it's just that I didn't really feel like it was something I absolutely had to do..I mean..some of them are embarassing and stupid..but in my defense..I've changed.
Plus, I know someday we're going to need laughs from highschool and I want to make sure I've got something to contribute.. |

Life is good.
I'm kind of proud of myself, it's been a while since I last bit my nails and their getting long and pretty.
I don't know how long it'll last though...considering I do play guitar..and when I get stressed I bite my nails..
Oh well..at least my mom's gotten off of my case about it.. I think as long as I don't do it in front of her, she's fine..I mean I don't bite them down to the nubs or anything..
That's fucking ridiculous..
It's unhealthy how long I could rant about that sort of thing.
In other news..I'm diligently hatching a plan to help one of my best friends get the boy she wants..
No one knows for sure if he likes her yet, but I think she has a chance. She really is a catch :).
I just hope she doesn't end up getting hurt. Hopefully I can work some magic..
Merrrr. I'm wrapped up in blankets..and I have no plans for today whatsoever...awesome..
I don't really have much else to say...other than lately I've been listening to a lot of Third Eye Blind, The Decemberists, and Bjork..
I think I'm just going to post a Saturday morning playlist...
1.Bitches ain't shit-Ben Folds
(There aren't words to describe the fantastic car sing a long we had on the trip
to the movies in that small-ass town....Oh man..a car full of teenage girls..and 20something year old Colin, singing/blasting this.Good ass times..
Plus, it's actually a good cover..)
2. Love Me-The Cardigans
(Before you go all music elitist on me and tell me this song is crap..
Think back to the mid 90's..you know your ass was totally singing it whenever it came on the radio..
Besides..it's just so damn catchy.)
3.Rudie Can't Fail-The Clash
(Yes, yes,yes and more yes. This is just one of those songs that I can prett much always
listen to.
Pointless random fact:When I got London Calling in like 7th/8th grade..it stayed in my cd player for ages..I used to play London Calling ,Rudie Can't Fail, and Spanish Bombs..over and over again.)
4.The Infanta-The Decemberists
(I have so much love for this song it's not even funny.
Everything about this song just kind of pushes my buttons..)
5.In The Lost and Found (Honky Bach)-Elliott Smith
(I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it.
It reminds me of summer and the ending is enough to make me want to cry..
The last 50 seconds or so is just the music fading away..but not in anyway I've ever
heard before..it's kind of depressing)
6.Jumper-Third Eye Blind
(Sometimes I wish I could live in a cheesey romantic comedy from the 90's so that I could have this on my sountrack.)
7.Child Star-The Unicorns
("are you visceral viscous?
do you want to make love to my sweet visage,
and then pretend it's you, it's you
it was always you")
8.I Know What Boys Like-The Waitresses
(It's classic..)
9. El Scorcho-Weezer
("I wish I could get my head out of the sand
'Cuz I think we'd make a good team
And you would keep my fingernails clean
But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize
'Cuz I can't even look in your eyes Without shakin', and I ain't fakin'
I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon"
Someday I'll put this on a mix cd for someone special..
and if I'm lucky..they'll see past the mass cheesiness and love it.)
10.Fell In Love With a Girl-The White Stripes
(I get down like nobodies business to this song..
I love how simple it is.)
11.Center of Gravity-Yo La Tengo
(It was either this or Sugarcube..But I figured we'd take it down a notch considering the last song was pretty fast/loud. )
12.Hey-The Pixies
(I dont think anything can be said for this song..other than that it's incredible.
I dont pretend to be the world's most hardcore pixies fan..But I love this song..
and Doolittle is one of the few albums I wish I could have written.)
THE END..

Those are my latest creations.
The first one, if I'm right, was something I just kind of did off-hand one night while I was flipping through my ipod. It ended up becoming my image for Mrs.Smith's "The Essence of Beauty" assignment.. It was a last minute decision, but I fell in love with my concept.
The second one is a freehand I did while watching Night of the Living Dead one night.
I got really bored with the black and whiteness of it..so I colored it in..
Overall I think it turned out pretty well. |

It’s a good thing I’m not insecure-
Otherwize I would be really uncomfortable with this right now and totally doubt almost every move I make.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is it.
The audition.
It's here, and I'm ready.
I'm scanning the room,
I can't help but smile.
It's always the same year after year.
No competition...
Nothing to be afraid of other than the same old demons...
Then the door opens, and suddenly I'm staring into the same pairs of eyes.
Suddenly there are more of them.
And suddenly I feel I'm not the only one going out for this part.
This is what I'm up against...
She sparkles..just like the first snow of the year.
First I'm inrigued.
Then I panic.
What if I'm not good enough?
What if my audience prefers her to me?
On the outside I'm smiling, but on the
inside I'm shaking.
I feel hollow and numb.
Backstage I hear applause while I'm biting my nails down to the nub.
I hear whistles as I cower behind the heavy blue house curtains.
Am I really next?
Could I really follow that act?
Swallowing hard I collect myself.
I know I've only got until the end of the critique, but something inside
me hasn't kicked in yet.
Sitting at the vanity mirror, my reflection is frowning at my feeble attempts to smile.
I'm powdering my face like a madwoman.
I'm trying to fix the caked-on, smeared-off mascara.
I'm trying to make this work.
Can I pull it off?
Onstage, my legs are shaking.
Despite the familiar faces staring back at me with warm smiles,
I'm sick to my stomach.
Despite the fact that I've memorized my peice, inside and out..
I feel lost.
Slowly I begin, easing into it with a smile I had saved-up just in case...
The crowd doesn't seem to notice my voice wavering toward the end, infact I think I see their hands up in anticipation.
I glace to the side quickly, and with a flip of my hair I can see her in the wings.
Is she nervous?
Why do I care?
When I catch her eye I almost trip over my last lines.
I finish finally, basking in my applause.
Does she see me as a threat?
No, she seems relaxed, perhaps happy for me..
Why is she so nice?
I know I'm the old crowd favorite, but a part me wonders if
I'm going to be replaced...
Could I be the understudy for once?
I'm torn between : "If you only knew how much this meant to me...."
and "I could care less."
I see my publicist and my manager talking in hushed voices when I make my way back stage and I know just what they're saying..
They're saying maybe it's time for a new look,
maybe I should try a new role.
Or perhaps, it's too late..
Could I be past my prime?
Am I too dried up to revive, like a household plant deprived from
water for too long?
Maybe I am.
Only time will tell.
'Don't call us, we'll call you'
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
I think Speedway is the ultimate Morrissey song.
Musically and lyrically.
It's got it all..
and yet, I still feel like I need a reason to justify me listening to it by myself in the dark.

This year hasn't been that bad so far considering it's only like the first week or two, I think I kind of enjoy it. There's a couple new faces around our lunch time spot and I'm semi into one of them.
When I found out what his name was, I was instantly put off. Not that names really matter to me, but come on, why does the cute new guy have to have the same name as my creepy loser ex boyfriend from freshmen year. The thing I find hilarious, is that he's awkward, and shy..Whereas I'm very blunt and outgoing. The two personalities clash, and yet..I somehow feel they'll end up working out..this boy (who is going to need a nickname very soon) needs to get his haircut (or so he says, I think he looks cute as pie already...) and he was like 'man, I just want to get my haircut', and I kind of half-joking,half-serious looked over and went, 'I'll do it..' Guess what? I'm doin it! I told him I'm going to make it look like Peter Pan and he just laughed. I don't want to be high and mighty, but I don't think this kid has had a girl pay attention to him like this ever. Either that or he's been hurt/ is clearly not interested. I think the former is more likely considering he does willingly accept my hugs (HE LET ME HUG HIM THE FIRST DAY WE MET) and he tends to halfsmile when we talk about things.
I don't know. I have the strangest feeling lately that I'm going to need to make a very important decision soon and I wish I knew what it was...
Hopefully it doesn't have to do with school or boys..
Those two are giving me trouble right now..But for the most part they aren't that bad..
OH OH..and I almost hooked up with Jesse H. and This one guy who looks like john stamos...
To better describe the amazingness of these two boys you need to realize the caliber of their beauty..
Yeah..
Oh and I'd like to point out that (the newkid) is in MY GRADE!
So he's total prom date material, even though he'd probably rather not go..I just might make him...
Jesse is a year older than me..BUT ONLY A YEAR
I'm getting better at not attracting older dudes.....
<3
I'm gonna go listen to shakey bones and think of the wonderful boys in my life..
The funny thing about these boys..is that they have absolutely no substance.. |
