....fawwwk

we lost.

But to make up for that:
  • I'm obsessed with the new Killers album
  • I don't have school next Tuesday
  • Spring Break is almost here
  • Things with my love interest are going significantly well 
:D

sick nasty

ugh, i had a whole long entry planned out, but it's half past midnight and i just really don't have the energy to go into a whole exposition. instead i'll leave you with an update of my nasty arm, and a new song on the page. I found a SICK version of "Swallowed in the Sea" live. 

It's my favorite Coldplay song, if you can believe it, which is saying a lot. 

COSTA RICA VS. MEXICO TOMORROW IN AZTECA STADIUM. Holy shiiiiiit. If you don't know, Azteca stadium is one of the largest in Mexico and only one country has EVER beaten Mexico there...guess who? :D

The last time we played there was about 9 years ago and it was seriously historic. Here's hoping that we can catch lightning in a bottle twice. I'll let you know who won tomorrow!

Until next time

burrrn baby burn

I burned my arm last week. It's so gross. Like, the skin lifted up and it's all burnt and....yeah it's just gross. I'd say second degree burn definitely. I won't tell you exactly how I got it but let's just say I made a huge mess in the kitchen haha.

Last week I went to the mall with Moritz, which I guess has become like our routine now haha. He has Tuesdays off and he picks me up to go eat at the mall which is literally across the street. We usually just walk around after and make fun of all the people but last week I got a sweet protector for my iPod and then I helped him pick out some jeans. It's really nice to be getting close to him again. We seriously used to be inseperable when we were kids...and then he turned 13 and became a total jerk haha. And I mean we still talked and everything afterwards but the bond was just gone. Then once he got over himself about a year ago things started to get back to the way they used to be. I'm really happy about that. He's my comorade haha.

ANYWAYS, my mom went to the beach yesterday to visit my grandpa who's sick and she didn't want to leave me alone all weekend so I'm going up to my aunt's house today for the whole weekend. I love it up there. And with the weather being so nice as it has been in the past week, it's gonna be beautiful up in the mountains.

I made a new friend yesterday! His name is Dario and...he's gay! It's so funny because I thought he was sooo hot the first time I met him a few months ago. But I also thought he was kinda standoff-ish and probably had a like a million girlfriends because he was surrounded by girls all the time hahah. And then yesterday he was telling my friend and I about all the trouble he's having with his "partner" and...DING DING DING! A lightning bulb went off in my head haha. But it's weird because when I made that assumption about him at first, I wouldn't give him the time of day, and then when I found out he was gay, we couldn't stop talking to each other! haha. And I was giving him advice and stuff about what to do in his situation and blah blah blah. And then it hit me, the only reason you're talking to this guy is the judgement you made about him was wrong. All of a sudden now, because he's not the player you thought he was, you think he's a really great guy...

....and then I realized how many stupid times I judge people before I even know them. Now I always said that I'm a good judge of character, which I am. I think it's fine to judge someone, to judge who they are. It's the actions you take as a result of that that are not okay. Becuase I thought this guy was a player, it was a really big turn off and I was probably really rude to him. THAT is what is wrong. It's not your judgement, it's the behavior that you execute after the judgement. You see what I'm saying? Maybe not....

But do you think judgement is right? How many times have you judged a person without knowing them? How many times have you been wrong about a judgement? How many times have you acted accordingly? Talk to meh.

big step

Today was a big step in my personal life. I'm really happy about that right now :)

Ahhh so. I think this blog deserves a lengthy, in depth entry for the month of March. It has been neglected recently, and for that I'm sorry. 

These last few weeks that the blog has gone without updates for the most part have been pretty awesome. I mean apart from school and two major projects that I had to turn in (which by the way I think I'm going to get a bad grade on) life has been pretty good. I've been hanging out with Moritz a lot more, now that Minor's back that crazy fool wants to go out every weekend. We saw Watchmen together....so tight! I think I was the only one who liked it haha. I mean, it definitely had room for improvement but the themes of the movie were what really scored the big points for me. It's one of those movies that you find yourself thinking about days after you watch it, and it really makes you think about our world today and the human condition. Any movie that does that, is great by my standards. 

Apart from hanging out with them, I've been meeting a lot more people and just hanging out with the rest of my family. They are seriously the bomb. I look forward to going to my grandparent's house if you can believe that, just because I laugh my butt off everytime I go. They're in their late 70's but I enjoy hanging out with them as much as I do my best friends. Anywho. 

I realized the other day out of the blue, that it's finally sunk in for me: I am living in Costa Rica. And it only took 6 months for me to realize it haha! I guess subconsciously I always thought I was going home, just because it was what I was used to...come to Costa Rica for a month, get on a plane, head home. But now that it's been 6 months already since I got here I think I'm getting used to the idea. I feel a lot better now in my own skin... still miss California like crazy though. Speaking of which, I don't think I'll be able to go in May. It's either that or December and I'd much rather wait until December which is my favorite time of the year. Definitely not the same in Costa Rica. 

The last thing that's on my mind is that a dear old friend recently sent me a message telling me how the pursuit of my dream in the film industry inspires her.... words really can't describe how that makes me feel. I mean, I get my motivation and inspiration from various sources (see that little list to the right?) haha. But seriously I mean, all these people inspire me to do more with my life, to question everything I see, to grow as a person. What they have done for me is indescribable. And to know that because of them, through my own actions, that I have inspired someone else is incredible. I'm just pursuing what I love because I have to...it's as simple as that really. I know that I won't be happy in life if I don't do the one thing that gives me more joy than anything else. I'm just doing my own thing really :P But the fact that I can give someone else the same type of inspiration that these people give me means so much. Thank you. 

What about you? Who/what inspires you? Where do you get your motivation from? Why do you do the things you do. I'd like to know really.

lazy afternoon

March has been a lame month for blogging. I'm sorry. 

But I will say that I am alive and well, and being infatuated with someone never felt so nice :)

oh crap

it's been a while! It's already March 7th and I still haven't written an entry for march :/

So I just got back from school, I was supposed to meet some classmates for a project and NONE of them showed up. Can I have those two hours of my life back please? Gosh, and the worst part is that I had to get up early for nothing! So I'm kinda pissed...

...well after my last entry, I've been since  planning my escape. I feel like Natalie Portman in "Anywhere But Here". Great movie, if you haven't watched it I recommend it. Anyways, towards the end of the movie her mom expects her to stay with her after high school, but Natalie's character is secretly planning to go to college on the other side of the country....basically, her mom gets really pissed haha. But I can definitely relate to that. I've got a pretty basic plan right now, which I will share next time.

But inspiration has resurfaced in my life :) I love being inspired. It makes me feel alive, like I have a purpose. 

My uncle flew in from Cali on thursday! It's so good to see him. We're having like a family reunion/party tonight, I'm so excited. Apart from the crapload of homework I have, life is pretty good right now. 

Jeff, I missed you.
