Should i stay or should i go (semi a song reference)

2009-04-06T00:26:34Z

My paid account is almost expired. I was planning on automatically re-paying so that it stays paid, but honestly, the only reason that i'm still writing ANYTHING in this journal is because its paid. most of my friends don't even write in this anymore and i'm only here because of the groups i'm in. which is kinda wierd, i mean, i'm basically a lurker. but thats how i roll. I haven't even really blogged on blogger, but i guess ever since James said he could swear his sister had something titled "girl_usual" bookmarked...i quit posting so much. ridiculous, i know. honestly, i don't have any real reason to quit blogging. I still have a journal that i also rarely write in, i've been making a point to write at least once a week, but for my blogs, i dont. i'm more of a instant person, but i admit that i do like going back and being able to read all the stuff of old that i've written.

so if i quit livejournal, i'd either download the journal and put it up on blogger (woo, XML formatting), or simply leave it up here and hardly ever check it.

idk, i love livejournal, but i keep having this feeling that i have to grow up and get rid of the old accounts at things that i dont use anymore.
which is why i got rid of my diaryland account. and my jitjot account. and my old MSN account just got replaced with another screen name, and i've been comtemplating either leaving myspace forever or simply deleting people. Facebook is here to stay, though, since it uses my name and not some lame screen name that i thought up when i was 12.

i'm not sure yet. i just don't know. the real reason i'm using blogger anyway is that its already linked with my gmail. so its super convenient. and i own the blog with my name. and if i feel like changing my url, i can just download my entire journal and transfer it. its sooooo convenient.

and we all know how often i like to change things up.
..idk

just a thought.

R.I.P. Meeko

2009-03-25T01:42:42Z

My brother came in while i was in my room, telling my parents that he had just witnessed the dogs attacking Meeko. She didn't make it up the tree in time. He was laughing, because he never liked her, and because he had threatened to shoot her himself on countless occassions. It kind of makes me think that they didn't even try to save her. My mom told him to shut up, so i wouldnt hear them. a minute later, my little little brother opens my door (me, sitting here in shock) tells me that my older little brother (the one that laughed) wanted to talk to me outside. So i go, my mom stops me in the living room and just says "he showed it to you through the window, didn't he!" i say "no, what?" and then she proceeds to tell me that my Cat was killed.

I didn't think that i would cry, but theres just something that hurts about raising something from when it was small, and having it be so attached to you. I've mentioned previously on alot of occassions that she stalked me and waited for me outside of my room, she would bite my neck and dig her claws into my legs when she sat on my lap...but despite all of this, she was MY cat. I took care of her. My family didn't like her, thought she was too much of a hassel, and honestly (regretfully) i sometimes agreed that she was sometimes to much to handle, what with her tearing my carpet and my skin... but i still took care of her.

and now, because my parents figured it would be fine if she was outside for a day or so, she's gone. she's dead. and it sucks.

I looked for her for so long this morning and earlier, before she was found. She finally decided to come home, and about an hour ago, she was killed for it.

i'm sorry, Meeko, that i couldn't save you.

YEAh, i know, i sold out. i was wondering what twitter was yesterday, so i made one. its okay, i like the fact that i get texts from only the people i choose from the ones i follow. =]
spam protection!!!
okay okay okay...
this is me whoring myself

FOLLOW ME on twitter!
and
my BLOGGER
because i've been blogging alot there. =]

IN OTHER NEWS:
My mom decided that it would be a wonderful idea to leave my cat outside in the back yard where the horse corral is, so that she could make friends with the stray that lives there. She told me later that when she went back to find her, she was totally gone. I went out today looking for her and there was no sign of her anywhere.

my parents didnt like my cat...so i'm thinking they did it on purpose because she was in heat and meowing alot. plus she stalks me.

but sad face. if we don't find meeko, i don't know if i should just give up pets for a few years (since i was planning on getting a puppy eventually) or what...

First Bowser disappears from his tank outside (he was my pet red-eared slider turtle), and now Meeko (my girl kitty).

and before them I had Pringles (my pet mouse that lasted for a good while until my mom refused to feed him while i was away at film camp summer before senior year).

and before that, when i was like 5 i had Jake (my bird dog that "ran away to play professional dog football", which i was later told really just got run over while i was at school).

Austin week

2009-03-22T06:38:38Z

It really is wierd how much i can miss a city I only lived in for 8 months. but wow, going back to Austin reiterated all the feelings i had for that city.

i belong there, i feel it.

of course, my dad proceeded to tell me that the valley is the best place in the world and is even quoted as saying :
"i've flown over Hawaii, those clear blue waters are nothing compared to our green ones". ugh. *disgust face*.

well. so my week was awesome. We even got to see Josh Turner in concert. (ultra deep voice, i dont care who you are, thats sexy). we got to see this classical music comedy duo thing too. they were there for SXSW (south by south west) and it was only $8 to see them. so yay. =] (still have the bumble bee stamp on my wrist from the cover).

Many other things happened. ;-). for one, i met James' friends from Galveston (Greg and Rey), we went to Main Event, where we played miniature golf (i totally fell on one of the holes...mind you, i was wearing a dress =\ ). then we played laser tag and i was up there in the points, until my vest quit working halfway through the game. it was just OFF. =[. then we headed to San Marcos and James got a room and we played beer pong. that was fun.... not to mention the odd fact that i throw better when dizzy/buzzed. oh, and i vomited a large amount. (sky vodka, some coconut gross thing, and beer do NOT mix well. at all.) but I slept quite well for being messed up. James, however, didnt seem drunk, but HE was the one that woke up with a hangover. =]. after that, we checked out the next morning, and hung out in Rey and Greg's room for a while. James was knocked out since he was all messed up and i had to check out for us. that day, instead of staying in San Marcos again, we were both wary of the alcohol, so we just went back to Austin.

ah, what fun. anyway, the main idea is... James is my duckie. <3

and i'm utterly depressed that i'm not there in Austin anymore. not to mention the fact that the return flight to Harlingen International was delayed because some gauge on the plane was broken. so, by the time i was BARELY taking off, James had already made the 40 minute bus ride back to campus. =[

but yay to seeing my g-ma.

Soo Min

2009-03-10T20:37:21Z

I had a strange dream that my parents adopted like these 5 little babies. I noticed that one of them was asian, and her name was "Soo-Min", which happens to be a korean name. I remember I took care of her the entire dream. I acted as if she was my baby. She was just a tiny baby at the beginning of the dream, My dad had asked me to go with him to one of my cousin's houses because they were going to make a cake for my brother Roel. It ended up being a bunch of different Oreo cupcakes pushed together as a "cake". One of the cupcakes was Reeses. (i dont know if thats important).I remember finally getting home, and my dad was acting all wierd, and we weren't living in our house right now, it was a mobile home. It was wierd, but my dad was acting wierd, like as if he was overly happy or drunk or something, and I was sitting here at the kitchen table, talking to him about Soo-Min, and about how I was thinking about changing her name, so that it was like I named her. you know, like naming your own child.And I was there explaining that Soo-Min was Korean. I remember saying "She's korean, I know because her name is 'Soo-Min', if she was Japanese, it would be something like 'Yoko'", and at the mention of her name, Soo-Min came running up to me from my 'brothers' room, and she was smiling all big. Like I was calling her. Then I looked back at my dad and said, "well, maybe i shouldn't change it".After this, I carried Soo-Min to my parents room, and i saw this crib with like 4 tiny babies inside, one of them was playing with a doll of Ben Affleck, and another was playing with what looked like a toy of Godzilla. Then I started asking my mom, who was lying on the bed with a baby with a little beard and balding hair, that I needed something like a car seat so that Soo-Min could sleep with me in my room without my having to worry about squishing her or something. My mom seemed pretty unresponsive, so I got all frustrated after looking in her closet and said "MOM!, why are you always taking care of the hairy baby?!" and my mom was like "I don't know, He seems more fragile", and the little hairy baby boy says "I know! she's strange!! I've got facial hair and i'm almost bald!" and all I thought about it was that he was like Benjamin Button. My mom then looks at me, holding Soo-Min and says that she has these kind of carseats that were white and made of cheap plastic, so I get one, and say, "lets see if she likes it" and when I place Soo-Min in there, she starts crying because she wants me to hold her. I look down at my parents floor and I see another 2 babies/toddlers crawling on the floor, and i remember thinking that that was really dangerous and strange...because thats more babies originally thought of. Then my moms phone rings and she answers it and its my brother Roel, and apparently he's at the stockshow with his friend Edgar, that they had won some passes from the radio or someone that was their "last chance" to go to the stockshow, and that they'll be back late. I get all frustrated because my parents agree that that would be okay, even though his cake was waiting. So I take Soo-Min to my room and I'm getting her ready for bed, and I lay her next to me and surround her with pillows (the way we used to surround Melina) and started singing her a song that, i guess, i made up. I woke up right when i finished singing a line that ended with "...my baby"

SO, i was curious as to why her name was "Soo-Min" and how i knew it was Korean. I mean, waking up i can probably guess its korean, but how did i choose this name in my sleep, and what does it mean? According to Meaning-of-Names.com the name means:

SOO-MIN: Korean Meaning - A combination of excellence and a bright mind.</div>

the name I had wanted to change her name too was: to "Soo-Jin" which, for some reason, i also knew was Korean. according to Babynamesworld.com the name means:

SOO-JIN: Korean Meaning- Treasure; excellence and truth.

----------------------------------------

what i'm kind of interested in is WHY I dreamt I, basically, had a baby (or acquired a child) and HOW i knew/know that the names Soo-Min and Soo-Jin are both korean girls names. ...

all the dream interpreting websites say that it all mainly means that i'm going to go through new experiences and that, you know, i might want a baby. UGH.

So, as of late, i've been posting alot in my blogger. nothing of note has happened yet, so i haven't gone as to put it in here yet. BUT. the link to my blogger is in my sidepanel (rolyvola) or, if you're like me... the link is HERE. just in case you feel like seeing anything else i write about. =]</div>

yeah, i jacked this from Crystal. so i imagine that i should warn you that the pictures are full size and that i've tried my hardest to put them behind the cut. <3

A picture of you in your room:

nothing to say about this picture, except that i'm in my room.

A picture with someone you don't actually like:

I won't pretend she wasnt my friend at some point. but when we caught her in a lie, i just couldn't trust her anymore and we drifted apart. big time.

Oh, god, i never liked her. i just pretended. she complained and left everyone in the dust as often as she could.

A picture on your birthday:

safe to say i hated myself intensely. This was at UBMS on my 16th birthday. WORST DAY EVER.

The youngest picture you can find of yourself in digital form:
yeah, i'm the little baby. and i was effin sexxy.

A picture of you in one of your favorite outfits:

What, this is totally a kick ass outfit... =]

A picture of you making a goofy face:

during the summer when we went to play soccer. afterwards we got us some raspas. and that was a gross margarita tasting one. uber salty.

A picture you might have edited to make yourself more attractive:

I think it was the make-up, personally. but i must admit i definitely toyed with the contrast. so this takes it.

A picture of a night you regret:

Prom night sucked. it was the worst. we didnt get to do ANYTHING.

A picture of you truly being yourself:

I totally do this all the time. its just me.

The most recent picture of you:

Taken after going to the movies with Manny and Noe. it was fun. but i haven't seen a camera since.

A picture of you being absolutely ridiculous:

A picture of a person behind a cut out of the wendy's GUY, always ridiculous.

A picture of you showing off your new hair cut/style:

I had just gotten it cut. it was after the spiking glue wore off and it was CLEAN. its the shortest i've ever had it. and PRE dying it jillions of colors.

A picture of a time in your life that's over and you wish wasnt:

yeah, so sue me. i miss our "trio". We talked about anything and everything and we were besties. idk what happened, but i didnt like it. =\ i sometimes wonder what it would be like now if we were all at diff schools but still connected.

A picture of a time in your life that's over and you couldn't be more thankful:

Neil, Jesse, Sean, Jason...liking Jeremy. missing neil. hating Jesse and jason. fuck man, GOOD RIDDANCE to high school. oh, and i figured this might not count, but i made this like sophomore year, so its a picture by itself. i dont even have any of these pics anymore seperately.

A picture of you when you were anything but happy:

Man, high school was just a mass of pondering my existence. this is one such time. you can't see my face, but thats me...and my back yard.

A picture that you had no idea was being taken:

The day that Ruben and I first "clicked". forever captured in a retarded face at mr.Gatti's.

A picture of you when you were a different person than you are now:

Sophomore year. trying to stay strong. being SO damn depressed. i was so different. the way i thought, acted, dressed... it was all strange. i look back and i get myself, but still...geez i was stupid sometimes.

A picture of you with someone you love:

avec James. at my cousin Amanda's wedding. we walked off to the pond and i found a bench in the dark. <3<3<3

A picture of how you'd like the world to see you:

Dark and mysterious. like an almost villain, except not. idk. btw, NOT edited, just taken in the light of a nightlight.

A picture of a time when everything was changing:

OUR ceremony night from UBMS. our last summer together at the dorms at Pan-Am. everything changed after that. EVERYTHING.

A picture that makes your heart hurt:

I had another one. much more accurate of him, but i just couldn't hurt the other person in the picture with him. I never got my closure. never. and i don't even think he remembers me. doesnt matter now though. i've moved on. but when i think about it, that was a pretty intense asshole-ishness from him. quite intense.

A picture that makes your heart smile:

We were together the ENTIRE day. and then i left him for an hour or so, and then we met up again that night. This was the date day, i like to call it. James and i went to TGIfridays. we walked around some water fountain, and some photographer got a picture of him giving me piggy back. then we walked around hand in hand, to alot of little shops in the city, mostly on and around 6th street, and somehow we ended up at TCBY. I ordered my shake before his and he got the first drink, so i got the first from whatever he ordered. ah, i love this boy. =]

A picture that's one of the best nights of your life:

I know that it wouldn't seem to be the best nights of one life while in the middle of Hurricane Dolly. but my aunt and uncle stayed with us and after the lights went out, we lit a million candles and played a mexican top game my mom calls "pon pon". i dont know what its really called. maybe someone knows it as "toma todo". idk. that was a good night. we played pennies. ha. i couldn't even sleep cuz it was SOOOoooo hot. yucky hot.

((real post soon))

Valentine's Day is a load of chocolate.

2009-02-11T14:25:53Z

So, i'm not planning on any surprises on Valentines. which is perfectly fine for me. there was only one year that i actually got anything on valentines, and it was nice and all, but how inconvenient. my mom always wanted to be that mother that had that daughter that walked out of school holding a giant bear and a decent bouquet of flowers. i gave her that (kinda) during my senior year of high school. Ruben got me a monkey, a vase of flowers (which, in defense were REALLY pretty and i took care of them, so they lasted way longer than a measly week), and chocolate covered strawberries or something like that. i'm not sure on the strawberries because if he did i likely devoured them before my brain actually solidified their presence. =].

anyways (not a word!), this year, i did get a valentines day basket full of munchies and diet breakers (not that i don't break it anyway...=_=;). My brother got everyone something. everyone as in the girls, like my neice, my sister, and my mom he bought a ring (originally destined for his on/off again girlfriend). I opted for having my basket goodies a week early, thus i'm half done with it and am secretly hoping that he had left over fruit roll-ups because OMG wouldn't that be the BEST!!! perhaps its just me. whatever.

and i know what you're thinking (something along the lines of "but roly!, you have a BF!! where are his gifts?!). well, i decided i'd like it MUCH better if we celebrated valentines the way the koreans do. that is to say, the girl gets the guy chocolates on valentines (ha!) and a month later, on March 14th ("White Day" in Korea) the guy returns the favor with candy. so considering my trip to Austin coincides perfectly with White Day, i wanted to do it that way. of course, i'll get him chocolates all late (also on White Day) but i'm pretty manly (in the girliest sense of the word...lol) so i figure it'd be perfectly fine. nobody wants month old chocolates...and i know that even if i did buy them in time for Valentines, i'd still probably eat them myself and HOW terrible would that be?! (not at all actually). but we'll play it safe and just gorge on the delicious sinful chocolate that i'm so addicted to when i'm physically with James. then at least i'll be able to convince myself that all and every calorie eaten in his presence doesnt count. or counts half. or something ridiculous like that. (AH! i can't wait to stuff myself!).

okay, lets see, i have 5 minutes until class, so we'll end this now. =] loves all who read this bully!

Austin for Spring break

2009-02-06T20:52:17Z

I've managed to convince the 'rents in a trip. they don't know how, but i know my happy little sly ways. i've been in training for years for this one moment. i passed, i should get a certificate or a medal or ... i dont know... an ice cream or SOMEthing!

i just realized that i freak myself out too much, apparently, i can get away with alot more if i just keep my eyes and voice normal and not get defensive, which is what happens when i start doubting my words, i start talking faster and make statements into questions. how unfortunate. but thats okay, i'm totally getting control over that shizz.

So, for spring break, instead of James being able to travel with his friends (who wanted to come to South Padre...more thoughts on this later)... i'm making him stay in his dorms in Austin so that i can hang out with him. ha. how terrible. i mean, he was either going to go to South Padre or to Colorado to ski for spring break, he had invited me to go to colorado, but HA yea right. i'm a valley girl, no matter how vehemently i try to forget it, i'm like...MADE to be in warm/hot climates for the most part of forever. Colorado, snow, skiiing... NOT in my vocabulary. sounds fun, but i would have to invest way too much money that i don't have on jackets and coats and stuff so as i don't turn into a popsicle and die.

okay, now my thoughts on South Padre Island. WHY THE HECK IS THAT A HOT SPOT FOR SPRING BREAKERS!?!! i wonder if its just the fact that we're SO close to mexico, but honestly, a beach is a beach. I know its not like that anymore, but everytime i think about going to the beach i remember all the seaweed piled up on the shore and the grossness of it. not to mention all the terrible stories i have that involve that place, like that old lady that peed in there and then just walked out. and that lady that was washing her little sons underwear in there. yucky. idk, i think about it and i guess i'm just so used to winter texans there that i just don't/ can't see people partying there. ha.

Thank you.

I got so excited that i had to call James and wake him up from his nap. this letter means that i'm going to be eligible for financial aid again at UT. which means that YAY, i can probably go back depending on how much aid i'm offered. =]

just so you know, its EXTREMELY hard/rare for anyone to get they're appeal approved. ;-)
