She can't feel the heat comin' off the street

Summertime

2006-05-23T05:26:12Z

Life update:
I am in Healdsburg until Sunday for the first and last time for awhile, so if anyone wants to see me let me know. I have not been around much lately so if I have been a negligent friend I apologize.

Sunday I am going to Guatemala. I am so excited, but only for two and a half weeks, which is not enough time to get homesick. Killian, Piper, Piper's boyfriend and I are going to travel together, it is going to be amazing!

I have a boyfriend now, he is a really great guy and seems to think I am pretty cool. Although I think he is smarter than me, I have never dated anyone more intelligent than I am, so it is sort of intimidating. However, I am starting to understand how relationships work and learning how not to screw it up.

Lastly, I am keeping my apartment in San Rafael this summer. I love it and my roommate too much to move home, so I expect visitors, it is really not that far away!

I dont mean to be emo but...

2006-04-07T04:15:45Z

My birthday is tomorrow and for some reason it makes me sad. Another year gone by... I hate birthdays, I need cheering up!

Spring fever is coming round the bend...

2006-03-16T02:54:43Z

I have this obnoxious muscle twitch in my lip, so the corner of bottom lip keeps spasaming and it is driving me insane and is completely unhot, my roommate says it is because of fatigue, but I am not even tired...

I sorta have a date tomorrow night and I am not sure how to deal with it. I have never been actively pursued by a non-creepy guy, so I feel there must be some terrible flaw to this one that I am not yet seeing. Hopefully not though, he seems so nice....

Today I pretty much figured out my life plan for the next few months, it feels pretty great, I want it to all work out! I am so excited!

I know I have said this before, but I hate when you meet people and they seem cool and then they let you down by not being as cool as you thought they were. Such a disapointment.

Spring break 2006 full of nyquil hangovers and sleepless nights! woohoo

Parking tickets are BS, especially when you put 2 hours worth of money in the meter and get a ticket after only 1 and a half hours, does not make sense.... Grrr, Damn you, city of San Rafael for taking my $25.

School is the suck

2006-02-28T07:56:13Z

Its official, I hate school and I am totally f-ing it all up right now by not applying myself. I oddly aced my two important exams, but am behind in everything else. I am so annoyed with myself and I dont know what happened to my motivation. I know no body cares about this at all, but I am thinking I must return to my hermitt ways for the next 2 months, then I can screw around all I want.

Being sick is no good, I want el Sombrero food, I havent eaten there in months, it must happen over spring break.

Also, I want to do art, my creative outlets have been greatly lacking this past few months and and I think this is adding to my insanity. Having art projects to do every week last semester was so time consuming, but I never realized how much I would miss it.

Creepy

2006-01-30T05:07:22Z

So today I got back to my appartment and this was hanging right next to my bed:

It took me forever to notice it and now I think I will have nightmares!

2006-01-28T22:46:17Z

It is snowing at the snow, which makes me sad because I am supposed to be there today, but I am stuck at home bored.

Gay boys like me! We went to the Castro the other night and quite a few of them told me that I was really cute. It made me happy, though it is too bad that they were all gay, hehe. Anyways, I felt really loved. Yay for superficiality!

Now, off to the Goat, woohoo!

"all my friends look like whale penises"

2006-01-24T07:30:50Z

Anyone want to go on a manhunt with me? I need to find some new man blood...

My new cause is called Jews for Twig Covered Lamps instead of Jews for Jesus. We are making magnetic car ribbon thingies, it is going to be the next big thing.

Guess what, according to Noah I am a prude because I am not promiscuous, sometimes I wish I could be a slut.... hey we all need to get our kicks somehow.

"Condom Man? Sounds like a superhero"

2006-01-23T05:29:05Z

Just in case everyone doesnt already know, I have come to the conclusion that I want to marry a Jew. Jewish people are so cool and maybe then I could learn to make matzo ball soup. Yummmmm.

According to tickle.com, I will be married by Saturday, June 20, 2009, which is highly unlikely.

If I Was Invisible......

2006-01-21T08:40:22Z

OMG so tonight Kodi and I discovered that I am in love with Clay Aiken! Yesss hahahahaha.

Anyone interested in maybe going to Boreal next Sat/Sun?

Livejournal is a complete waste of time

2006-01-15T02:37:04Z

I am sad and bored and cold. I dont want school to start on Tuesday, ahhhh I am not ready to be stressed out. I want to still be in Mexico where it is warm and tranquil and there are funny french poodles prancing on the beach. I hate Healdsburg right now, it is no fun in the winter time.

There is a slim possibility I may go to Peru this summer though, which does lighten my mood a little. I could accomplish a life goal, that would be spectacular!

2005-12-27T01:38:28Z

So Christmas wasn't all terrible, I was a little bummed because of our lack of traditions and smallness of family, but things worked out alright. For christmas I got an external harddrive loaded with 16,000 songs (I am not sure how many of them I actually like, mostly hippie music I am betting) and I also recieved a Kitchen-Aid mixer. Now I can be uber domestic and learn to cook, then, according to my Ecuadorian mother, someone will consider marrying me. ick.

I am bored and my eyelid wont stop twitching.

2005-12-23T00:37:21Z

Healdsburg is so unexciting. It is killing me ever-so slowly. and TWO more weeks of this nothingness?? How is this possible. I am thinking of things I want to do before I die and so far I have:

Ride my bike cross country
See as much of Asia and Africa and India as I possibly can
Go to Machu Pichu
Go on a really long boat trip
Learn to sew
Live on a farm with chickens and goats
Live in a big city

Now I cannot remember the others, but I am sure they were exciting. I miss San Rafeal and my cozy appartment, I should just go there, like now!

I want to stab my eyes out with a fork

2005-11-23T22:33:22Z

Its official, I fucking hate the holidays. I want to just sleep and not wake up until Jan. 2nd.

Mariel is bored

2005-11-10T04:48:05Z

Today in my anatomy lab we got to play with sheep hearts, it was really very interesting in a way. A weird sensation shoots through your body when you cut through cardiac tissue with scissors, you cannot help but feel somewhat evil. But the worst part was the smell of the chemicals which the hearts were preserved in, it was almost as if you had been chewing on it. ick.

I cannot believe there is 3 weeks of school left, this semester has gone by so quickly. I feel like I had something more interesting to write on here, but now I cannot remeber...

TV is boring

2005-10-20T03:34:02Z

Good news is i kicked major butt on my midterms, acing them all, and so I finally have downtime to do as I please.

Bad news is I have no clue what to do with myself. I want to celebrate, but celebrating by yourself is virtually impossible and my roommate is leaving for the weekend meaning I will be alllll alone.:(

My conclusion is that people should hang out with me in their spare time so I dont feel sad and blue and have to spend another weekend with my parents (I am so over family time). PPPPPPPPLLLLLLLEEEEAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEE! (I am aware that I sound desperate)

Seasonal Affective Disorder is SAD, literally!

2005-10-15T06:55:18Z

The first rain of the year has arrived and I still feel unprepared, it should remain sunny forever, then I would be happy. However, it is still better than living in Oregon, so perhaps I should quit whinning before I get shipped back up north.

Sometimes, Healdsburg surprises me and is a lot of fun. Tonight was one of those instances. I went out with Killian and some others to Barn Diva for yummy dessert and saw many friendly faces in the resturant and in the street. It was a night of huggs which was greatly welcomed after a good two week hiatus from socializing with Healdsburgians. I think I have had a lack of hugs lately because I do not know anyone in San Rafeal well enough to start hugging them. I am pleasantly content at the moment despite the fact that God is crying.

I havent been on this thing in what seems like forever! Mid-terms are over and that is wonderous because I cannot study anymore. I have discovered why Asians get good grades, they cheat, A LOT! Makes me mad.

Last night we went to the San Rafeal adult entertainment store for boob shaped cupcake pans, and I must say it is infinately more classy than the SR one. Then we made funfetti flavored boob cupcakes for some guys birthday. They are pretty awesome. I would take a picture if I still had my camera....

My brain is very A.D.D. today

2005-09-28T02:54:06Z

I feel like such a grown up because I now live in a house/appartment worthy of Jehovas Witness visits. Having lived all of my previous life out in the sticks, I was unaware of the fact that you don't just open the door to anyone. Anyways these two women and a baby of God stopped by and gave me a lovely magazine about how Jesus can make my life wonderful and even protect me from ever getting raped. All the pictures are straight out of the ugly part of the 80s and basically it gives me the heebie jeebies. The worst part about all this is that now my residence is marked and they will be returning again... they may even live in my complex, that would be very bad!!!

Anatomy is no fun

2005-09-17T04:41:46Z

So it is Friday night and I am home alone because I NEED to study for my exam, but I am much too hyper to do such a thing.

Today I went out and spent ALL of my savings on a new laptop, it is pretty exciting, this stupid dell is just not doing it for me anymore, everything is f-ed about it. However I do feel somewhat like I am betraying it. We have been through a lot together...

Being hyper and alone is weird. I need aderol(sp) then I might actually study. hahahahahahahaha

I am addicted to pumpkin spice lattes despite my hatred for Starbucks

2005-09-12T17:12:23Z

I just found out the Jack in the Box is owned by Ralston Purina, you know the people who make dog food. That explains the nastiness.

There should be some sort of limit to studying, like if you study something for 3 hours it should automatically make sense. If only it was possible to download things into your brain, I would be a mad chemist by now.

My roommate and her longtime/long distance bf broke up and I dont know what to do or say so I am hiding in my room. It seems to be the days of failing romances. I am such a coward when it comes to this stuff, but really what advice could I give to someone who feels they have lost the love of their life? I cannot even consistently like someone for more than a week, let alone love.

People should come visit me in San Rafeal after next week, when I wont have to be hardcorely studying. I need someone or someones to go out exploring with me. It will be an adventure and who does not love those?

Wireless internet is the best thing that has ever happened to me!

2005-08-25T02:38:35Z

Soooo I live in San Rafeal now, and I like it. I have a nice view of the civic center + freeway from my bedroom window and my roommate is awesome and fun to talk to. Last night we watched the Prince and Me (actually it was a HORRIBLE movie, but entertaining in a horrid way). I like my school, people are friendlier than anywhere else I have lived before. My schedule is pretty great, I get basically a FOUR day weekend, though I am going to have to study really hard in order to get into my program. I dont even miss home, though for some reason I am going to Healdsburg tomorrow. Anyways, yay, I am happy!

Now, someone pease comment so I dont have to feel like a completely unloved idiot!

Whoa here she comes, watch out boy she'll chew you up....

2005-08-15T04:33:03Z

Today was my last day of work, and it was the longest day ever!!!! But hooray for no more having to serve demanding, upity tourists/yuppies and horray for no more closed toed shoes. Also, I stole my apron and think I may get in trouble, but it is just so purple and gay and I do not mean that at all homophobically.

Stephanies birthday was fun, I will put pictures up so the world can see the beauty of the non-normal outfits and the ridiculousness that took place.

Tomorrow I am starting my moving process, ahhhhhh!! I cannot believe a new semester is upon us......... I think I need a new pair of courdaroys before it can actually be fall.

Today was Leah's wedding, the first of the House Wife Mafia to get married, and it was quite beautiful.

And here are some lovely ladies.

And I even caught the bouquet which looks like this:

But luckily it is made of fake flowers, so I only will be fake married soon
