Life is Rough


Why, hello there. I am really bored right now...it's 10:49 over here. I actually went a whole day without sleeping during the day on FOUR hours of sleep! It's amazing! Okay so here are some updates and fun facts about where I'm at: 1. It poured freaking rain today...like I'm talking CATS AND DOGS! It's July! Yeah, uh, somebody go ahead and send the clouds the stupid MEMO!!!
2 I think I'm going to die if I eat another piece of fish. 3. The beer here tastes like watered down puke. 4. Wow...only in Europe is liquor cheaper than bottled water. (Water, 1 euro. Beer, 40 cents. Dying a painful early death, priceless.) 5. Who picks the music here??? Like at the festa (party) I went to last night, there was this band called FINGERTIPS! What kind of name is that? Well, I suppose that American bands can't hold that against these Portuguese bands...they have weirdo names like Blink-182 or Green Day. It's all in a day's work I guess. 6. How is it that all the fat, ugly girls have hot, slim boyfriends? 7. The water is warmer when it's raining...anyone guess why? 8. I miss Skyler. A lot. 9. My mom is here safe, YAY! We partied today...hehe. NOt really, but okay. We had to wake up hella early to pick her up...that was tough, especially when I went to bed at 3:30. 10. All my clothes are getting messed up and old and icky...oh no! 11. I think I'm seriously gaining weight! These people only want to shove as much food down my throat as possible! What did I ever do to them????? 12. I miss Skyler. Even more now. 13. I only have twenty more days left here. 14. I finally have Harry Potter! I'm going to read HARRY POTTER! OMG! 15. Office Space is seriously so funny...I don't even have to watch the movie to sit here and laugh at all the stupid funny jokes...just like above...raise your hand (and make a comment) if you caught that...if you didn't --> HAHAHA!). 16. I feel sick...90% of the time...too much food? I think so! 17. Why don't they use fabric softener here? 18. I miss Skyler...send him to me in a nice brown paper package...tied up with string...that would become one of my favorite things. 19. Nobody emails me (except Skyler, thanks baby!) or leaves me comments on MySpace. AND FINALLY... 20. EVERYBODY HAS GONE BONKERS! Hehehehehehehehehehe....just kidding. Anyhoo...that's a little bit of what has been going on here. If you want to know more (which I doubt you will), please feel free to email me. If you're priveliged enough to have my email then more power to you, but if you're not, well then, ask Skyler for it. He is such a sweetie, I'm sure he'll share. Have a nice time over there is Sunny California! I definately miss it there. See y'all! *xoxo*

Busy Busy Busy

Hey everyone, just wanted to drop a line to say that things have been real busy for me. I've started to take an Astronomy class which runs from 3pm to 12am. Yeah, its a bit long, and takes a lot out of me. I also have finals to study for next week, so there might not be too many new blog posts. Anyway, I'm having fun, and that's the important fact. Talk to you later. -Skyler

Anyway, this room has 2 computers monitors with keyboards out, so I decied to take hold of one and write on here. Hope everyone is doing well. I'll check back later and write a real post, but I just wanted to check in. Thank god that internet access is becoming available everywhere!

The Daily Show

Although you'll hear me slam the media, one show that I love is The Daily Show with John Stewart. Go to my link here and watch the Harry Potter Terror clip. This clip is soo funny, cause its not that far off on what "regular" media will do. I'd sugguest watching more clips. The reason I enjoy it, is that they present what they show as news, along with entertainment. I can still learn as much from the Daily Show as CNN, but its nice to see a group of people not take themselves seriously. And again, why do we need 24 hour news stations? How much news do we really need anyway. Okay okay, I'm ranting. Watch the daily show with John Stewart!

HOLY...um...POOP!

Well, this trip is seriously cramping my style. I am not having that fabulous of a time yet. It's been two weeks, so I still have four to go! Agh. I don't know what I'm going to do. Also, I am seriously going to gain like ten pounds before I leave here because everyone is trying to shove food down my throat like four times a day!!! What the heck? I don't keep this figure by eating my weight everyday. Anyway, so yeah, some new I guess. I just finished another book the other day that I really liked. It was called Jamima J and it was by Jane Green. It wasn't a literary masterpiece, nor was it a stupid simpleton book. I liked it a lot, though, the story was heart warming. It was about a fat girl who took it into her own hands to get skinny and then realized she sorta liked being fat. Hehe, interesting and definately sweet. Also, today, well actually on Saturday, these people that are from Toronto arrived here. We were really good friends with them the last time that we were here. Only the father and the youngest son came on Saturday, the rest of the fam, well the other two sons, are coming in two weeks and the mother in three. My whole point in this is that Adam, the oldest, probably now 20, has already set sights on me. His brother Lucas informed me that when he sees me he's going to slap me. It is all from a three-year-old memory: I smacked him with a fish the last time I was here. LoL! And if any of you know the story about why I think smoking is gross, this is the same guy. So yeah...that'll be exciting...I guess I better find a good place to hide. =) Anyway, not much going on here. We were going to climb Pico today but it didn't work out because the weather is SHIT. So I guess we will be waiting on that. Alrighty...I have just a couple things to say. I just also wanted to make the comment that my boyfriend is the most awesomest boyfriend ever and deserves like a Best Boyfriend grammy or whatever because he bought minutes so that we can talk on the phone every night! YAY for my boyfriend. Anyways, Sky, I am going to send you a nice check for twenty bucks so you can buy some more...that way I won't feel like you're getting ripped off because obviously I'm not that exciting. Anyways yea! Everyone have a nice day...see ya later alligator!

I'm watching The Family Guy on DVD and all I have to say is, I really like the theme song. Something about it is just cool. I'll work on figuring that out later. The shows are a little funny, not as good as South Park or The Simpsons. Maybe I just haven't seen enough shows or the right ones. Okay, back to watching more.
