I believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I also believe that the scale never lies. People this day in age appear to be rather careless in managing their diet and exercising habits. What with the increasing rate of fatty fast food restaurants and hungry people that claim they have no other choice but to indulge in the fired greasy goodness, becoming overweight seems inevitable. I'm making it my job not to fall victim to Ronald McDonald's crazy scheme.
    There are days when I could care less about my appearance and days when I don't even want to step out the door. I don't suppose I am overweight, but I do think there's a definite room for improvement. I feel that if I keep a steady healthy diet and exercise as often as I should, I could achieve my goal of wearing a two-piece swimsuit and quit excusing myself from going to the beach only because I can't swim. I can't say I've never tried to maintain a healthy diet, but the fact that I've never actually stuck to it has always brought my down. Perhaps if I didn't have sudden cravings for baked goods and pizza every five seconds, I'd be successful.
    Exercising proves to be my greatest nemesis. I am horrible at every sport ever conceived and at most, laugh myself to the finish line. The instant pain and cramps that hit me once I'm a few minutes into exercising make me fail. I think people who voluntarily want to join track are INSANE and marathon runners are super robots that are designed to make the rest of us feel lousy about our inability to be as great as they are. There are, however certain physical activities that I find most enjoyable. Moshing (which is defined as "the activity in which audience members at live music performances aggressively push or slam into each other") is my form of sweating away the pounds. I find an amazing thrill in the energy surrounding the stage. By the time the show gets let out, I'm a sweaty tired beat up mess and I adore it!
    I'm a very recent waterholic and am fairly pleased with myself. As a child, I despised the taste of water. It had, as I recall... "No taste." Now, I can't go a day without downing two or three bottles. I would say I am drinking more than enough water on a daily basis. The only improvement I need make liquid-wise would be to cut down on the several caffeinated drinks that I have also become an addict towards. As awful as everybody tells me energy drinks are, I can't imagine NOT quenching my thirst with a can of Monster. I developed a caffeine dependency at the age of 11 and it refuses to go away.
     I don't really have a specific opinion in whether or not my diet is well balanced. I'm a very recent vegetarian and am trying my best to be a decent one. Ever since my becoming one, my mother has been very concerned on my amount of protein intake. I do what I can to make wise choices when scouting the supermarket for food. Every once in awhile, I give in to my guilty pleasure of baked goods and delicacies. Being a teenager, a very obvious lack of money is present. This is where "The King" and "Jack" become your best friends.
    I've always been a quick eater. I could finish a bowl of cereal a minute before I had to take off for school, and drink a Caprisun faster than any other kid in the cafeteria. I thought of it as almost a talent! That "talent" still makes its ugly appearance every now and again. There are always going to be certain habits that come up throughout the course of my lifetime. I've just got to learn to get the best of them before they get the best of me.

Current Music: The Bled

My body despises me after what I did to it yesterday.

I woke up at 7:00 on a SATURDAY.
I'm a freak.

Roughly around 11:30 I hit the subway. Hollywood & Vine being my destination, I jumped off and headed upwards towards the streets. It was a breeze finding Tony and in a half hour or so- we began the March. There a couple of people sporting my shirt =/
It didn't make me feel special anymore.

So, 3 hours on our feet, and we're starved. I failed Tony on our mission to ihop =/
I still feel terrible about that.

Well... I got back on the subway and RAN my ass back home. I threw off my ginormous PEACE NOW and stuffed a few amount of items in my bag.
En route to Chatsworth [also known as chelsealand] the police decided to make me angry and start a high speed chase. Traffic was a bitch.
Nevertheless, I arrived at Chelsea's house [about a half hour late] and ditched my bag in her room.
*fast forward to the cobalt*
Perri, Chelsea and I hopped out and we met up with some kids. I wandered off with Estelle and Natalie, got my snazzy wristband on and I was all set.

I just happened to find the time now.
shows i actually made it to
PARAMORE
-Nov 14 2007 The Wiltern Theatre 7:00P
A terrible school day, but it all turned around in the end when I met up with some chicks in line, Mike, Chels, Perri, and Sarah. The crowd was awful- but we made sure to stand out:] Aaron is adorable and The Almost is fantastic.
HIM
-Nov 15 2007 The Orpheum Theatre 7:00P
Probably the best day ever. I was able to break as many rules as possible with a little help from my friends. We sneaked back through the parking lot, hopped the fence, and walked to the bluffs. Then we Indiana Jonezed our way down the steepest mountain/hill I've yet to encounter. There was an uncountable amount of cuts and scrapes on my arms but we all survived. It was a complete breeze for whatshisface and tyler D: Katya and I were dying. We reached our destination. SUBWAY!!! The popo can't stop us:D and they didn't.
fast forward to the orpheum
we don't arrive too early due to the fact that we have seats, not floor. The two guy behind us were high as kites and it was hilarious. They hit on us until about the point where we jumped out of line because Mike had yet to arrive =/ He was the bearer of the tickets. Luke, Mike, Katya and I took our seats and moved around to Bleeding Through. Afterwards, Katya and I miraculously made shuffled forwards and made up pretty close up in seats that didn't belong to us. We headbanged, jumped, and screamed away. It made good time for the camera that was in our face for about five minutes straight :D
After the show, it was time to show Kat Von D how much we loved her.
Katya&I: "YO, KAT!.... WE LOVE YOU"
Kat: "I LOVE YOU TOO!"
JustMe: "I WANNA BE JUST LIKE YOU WHEN I GROW UP!"
SomeRandomDudeInTheBackGround: "...When you grow up?!"
See, everybody assumed we were way older than we were. As always. The show was incredible and it was the last time I saw Mike :[ I miss that dude like crazy D:
AS I LAY DYING...
-Nov 28 2007 Los Angeles, California
There's not much of a story here. I didn't manage to get through doors. At most I just wandered around chillin' with peeps.
LOVEHATEHERO
-December 1 2007 Cobalt Cafe, Canoga Park
This was extremely last minute. I'm a complete fan of the band and adore their music, and that gave me a great urge to drive all the way down to Chatsworth and plan to sleep over at Chels' house. I chilled with Perri and we watched HarryPotter with Chels' brother until she came home from work. Then we were off!
We walked in in the middle of Ten Seconds To Go. I met some new kids heard some new music, and got to chill with some band mates:]
Pierrick- I didn't talk to him much for I didn't have much to say. I told him I was really disappointed that they didn't play "Running With Scissors" because it's my favorite song due to the fact that it reminds me so much of my own brother. At least my newly bought LHH shirt has an autograph now:D
Scotty Gee- At most I said thirteen words to him. I got a sweaty hug right after the show, howeverxD Not that I minded:]
Paris- YO! He's gotta be the sweetest, most spontaneous, and energetic guy around. He responds to my random outbursts and was kind enough to record my voicemail along with Chelsea's.
Thrasher- Kevin made my night. I was looking forward to it the whole week. The four of us are now bestowed with the super rad ability to ninja kick! 
We ended the night with "Hairspray" and cold mac'ncheese.
MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK
-Dec 4 2007 Los Angeles, California [for less than the first band] I stuck around for Metro Station and dorkdanced with Tony. I was lucky enough to score a free ticket due to Sarah's niceness:D In reality, I only showed up because I owed Tony a fresh $20 from the Underoath show awhile back and that was my best shot at it.
The usual ritual of the giant cookie was preformed and the guy at the minibar "O___O 'ed" at my "21 pass."<--It was my wristband from the cobaltxD Apparently I look old... but not 21 oldxD [only to drunk British guys at The Police concertsxD]
FROM FIRST TO LAST
-Dec 7 2007 West Hollywood, California
Boy, was I looking forwards to this! It was Fermanhoe's birthday and I baked him a cake! They lied when they said it was bought at Starbucks!xD The day went by rather quickly and we soon found ourselves in Rebecca's dad's car on our way to the TROUBADOUR:D Our amazing superpowers gave us wide smiles when we found out we were the first in line. Chow Mein was satisfactory enough and kept us well fed for hours. Katya came about in time:] Them pretty girls caught the attention of two other guys whom... I've already forgottenxD Jasper and Johnny I think. Well... they took a spot behind us in line. Them fools got lucky. Time for doors and time for Matt Good to jab me in the face with his guitar!xD oh yeah. it happened.
I won't fail to mention.... him. I have no idea who this boy is, but I can't ever grab up enough courage to actually approach him. It made me extremely sad to see him drive away. Awwh. I can't complain- it was one of the greatest days in history.
ALMOST ACOUSTIC CHRISTMAS
-December 8 2007 Gibson Amphitheater
This is a story for the ages. Starting with Tony's telling of her double socks- we had no idea what the day would lead to. Cinnabon was a must and we began by feasting on it's yummy cinnamony baked goodness. Later- The New Years Day Teamers had to get some work done. There was absolutely no way of getting anywhere near the doors of The Gibson without tickets. We were like "awwh.. tits! we don't have tickets!" then... a miracle occurred. We managed to walk safely into the theme park itself without tickets without anyone on our asses. We rode The Mummy a total of about five or six times with ease. In between- we also had the balls to jump on Jurassic Park:D The lower lot closed, and there wasn't much left to do, so we figured we should get some work done. There HAD to be a back entrance and that's just what we found. Roaming around the Curious George Parking Lot did a a ton of good. The security guard was a dingus and asked what we were doing only to get an obvious response. "We're going to the parking lot."  Then came one of the most terrifying experience of my life.
A big black van drove up beside the four of us and a big dark figure in the driver's seat spoke to us.
"GET IN THE SHUTTLE," He demanded.
We instantly froze. Nobody replied to the stranger.
"You're going to the show, right?" He asked.
"Yes..."
"Then get in!"
We were a bit hesitant, but nevertheless, got in the shuttle. Our nervousness toned down when we found ourselves in the Artist Entrance. So, it was like one of those "now what" commercials. Tony had contacted Irene and we were off to find her and Jewlie and an A7X van. In about a half hour of wandering around the park, finding our way through City Walk, we finally found them. My reason for joining Tony so early was precisely because I had planned to assist Jewlie raid the grounds of Universal with promo.




............ more laterxD my fingers went numb D:

It's about 11:47PM and I'm watching Courage the Cowardly DogxD

I'd totally given up on lj. Since having one in the sixth grade and nearly getting expelled for it, I dropped it. Only until recently [okay.. say 40 minutes ago] I happened to take a look at Chis Gutierrez's page and decided to go for it again. I haven't written much of anything in like... sixth months and it's depressing the shtick outta me!
Though knowing absolutely NONE of my friends will be reading this at the moment, I could honestly care less. I adore writing with a passion, whether it being for school... a post-it, a diary entry... a blog on myspace, WHATEVER... if I couldn't write, I'd lose my mind. So here I am... sitting cross-legged in my computer chair listening to Girl by The Beatles. This is the MOST FUN I'VE HAD!

ahahahaaha.
Wow. I'm so lame it's amusing.

It's a three day weekend and my body couldn't be happier. I've been rather tired the past few weeks which is extremely strange for me seeing as to how my lack of sleep never affected me before. Lately, I've been sleeping for hours on end. It's quite shocking really. I'd dose off on the bus, in class, sidewalk... jeez. It only goes to show how great my caffeine dependency has grown D:

The whole day I've been obsessing over The Bled. Maaaaaaaan. What an incredible band. They were amazing at Projekt Revolution this year. James was singing on top of me for like a minute straight and I got to touch his hair and it was like whoaaaaa! I won't fail to mention the fact that he's terribly gorgeous, either. :]

Mmmm... so this month will be loaded with goodies, if all goes as planned.
here we GO!::

I plan on attending ALL of them, even though I know I'll only be able to make it to SOME of them... and that doesn't even mean I'll get let in through doors xD

I really miss summer. It went by too fast. Warped Tour was fun. Ohh booooy was it ever. I'd kill to do it again.

haha and I cut my hair for like.. the third time this month. My friend thinks I'm an idiot for doing so.. but he hasn't got good taste in anything so it doesn't bother me at all.
Friends are... gaaah.
I love them kids to death but sometimes I don't even KNOW.
All I know at this point is that I'm going to RANT RANT RANT so it's best to stop here, I'd say.
End it now before you tear your face off at my lameness *nods*

I'd say 'goodnight' ... but it's 12:21. GOODMORNING YOU LITTLE JERKS!
<3
i hope you enjoyed your flight. have a good day.
