Consider this your "Get a hold of Maria Post"

♥

At least it hasn't been over a month since I updated!

School is satisfying. I like that feeling, when you're reading, where you can feel your neurons expand. It's like brain excersises. Tasty.


I promise eventually, I'll post something interesting... maybe.

Wow, Okay, it has been like 2 months since I last posted o.o and it would probably be easier to update in the form of bullets!

• Got on the Rugby team (we haven't won, but there are SO many rookies I'm not crying over it. It's soooo much fun!)
• My classes are going well.
• My roommate is a little strange. 0.o
• Harry Truman is chilling. :P
• I miss my Jaunell (come live in my bosom)
• Marcus started playing Basketball again
• People here crack me up!
• Memphis is really cool!!
• I want to open a resturant.

Why I am against the pro-life movement.

Pro life activists have called for an end to abortion, yet they fail to give their own children the tools they need, knowledge wise and physical wise, to avoid getting pregnant. They don't consider the economic ramifications of raising a child with special needs, nor the emotional toll that carrying a child borne of rape will have on a woman. Now, I am in no way endorsing all women to abort children who are going to have special needs, nor all girls who get raped to just run over and abort immediately. I'm saying they deserve to consider all of their options and decide, for themselves alone, what is right. The pro choice calls out if they're mature enough to have sex they're mature enough to have a baby, but if you don't think they can make ONE choice, how are they supposed to bring a human being worth anything into the world?

I commend women who find themselves in a tough situation and choose to keep the child, and yet, the pro life movement seeks to make these women blend in with women forced to have children when they are not old enough, when they where raped, and when they are going to bring a child into the world who will suffer and then die a slow, painful death. As a woman, I find this sad.

Also, I would like to put out a blanket call to pro life movers and shakers who would argue with these sentiments, please, in discussing the topic of abortion, leave your religion at home, our government is supposed to be seperate from church. Please, leave the animals out of this, we are talking about people, not birds. Please, I call to you, if you want policy to be changed, use the words that are in policy, not the emotionally charged buzz words. It is a fetus until it is born, after it takes it's first breath, it is a baby. It is an embreyo before 8 weeks. And finally, please, know what you are talking about. It is not double murder if the woman is less than her third trimester, and that is on a state by state basis. In some, it isn't a double murder until it is medically a baby (first breath).

Sorry for my rant, I just get mad. :(

I'm all over the place emotionally. I leave Wednesday. Holy futbol, gringo, I'm screwed.

Who decided I was old enough to be in college. Is there someone who can verify this for me????

Seriously, he's evil. He swatted at my hand for like no reason today and then hissed at the floor.

So I only got like 4 hours of sleep last night because I realized at 2am that it was 2 am last night and I had to get up at 7 (which is a little excessive I think) to go plan the best damn novel ever to be written about Star Trek ever with Jaunell at 8. Of course, realistically I didn't get up until like 7:53 and then I showered and what not and showed up at like 8:20 and so we actually got started at like 8:30 and much of it was gigglyness and what not, but we got a lot planned out and so I would say that today was a win. We designed a new character and decided on a plot and general time line. I don't want to give anything away but lets just say it's hot and has hints of pirates. You know you want to read it.

Nothing much else is going on really. Marcus and I are getting ready for college and that's a little stressful. My mom made me buy like 15 polos, she says they look "collegete" so I guess I'll just have to go with it. I really don't mind because they make my boobs look FANTASTIC.
Marcus and I made these from scratch cookies and they are too good for words. They're delishious. Seriously they are so good we made like 150 and they're all gone. Not just us though, we aren't the only ones who are eating them. They went to his mom and dad and sister's works and to the cable guy and to my dad, but man those were some fantastic cookies. I know you're all really jelous right now, it's okay. Deep breaths.

So now I'm going to go find a notebook to re write the notes I took from plotting this morning. Maybe by Saturday we'll be able to map out who's writing what.

Note: My cat pooped in my planter.
It smells bad. He is EVIL!!!

I have some pictures to share.

Life goes good. Marcus hasn't been in town very much lately but I've been hanging out with my mom and J.
Tonight I watched The Birdcage, which is just as awesome as ever. And last night my mom and I stayed up like goofy preteens, chatting and what not until we realized it was 8 am.
We have to do the entire celing in the hallway over again. :/ Fun, because I get to do demo, not so fun because it gives me a headache.

I saw Wall-E omg cuteness overload. It's so sweet. I can't endorse it highly enough. And then I saw Hancock, also wonderful and sweet and awesome. Leave now and go watch them both. They are made of wiiiin. I anticipate Hancock's sequel. OMG need.


I have a headache. I did my terrariums and I want the grass to grow!

Peace, M

Man, I really need to get in shape! I found this article in the paper about a movie on the mountain, which is in the middle of town. It said a 40 minute hike, not bad for "those in moderate shape" so I was all, okay no big. Well I went with J and Mari, but Mari was late so J and I hiked up there together, man, I am either way not in shape or they lied. So my face turns red for like no reason, so I'm doing this walk, which was like 3 miles of death and so when we finally got there (it was so worth it) I looked like a beet. Well Mari came a little later, but she made it for almost the whole movie, Young Frankenstein, so funny. The view was great! It was a full moon so it was no problem walking down. I'll put up pictures tomorrow. It was amazing. Here we were in this secluded wilderness, and as far as the eye could see is city everywhere. The movie was played on this big projector screen that's hung on these two poles that are just for the electricity company to carry electricity from one side of the mountain to the other basically.

I'm officially a college student. I went this week to get all registered, and so I'm now a Red Wolf, go Wolves! I'm signed up for Intro to Politics, Intro to Government, Honors English, College Algebra and Beginners Rugby. So that's the other reason I have to get in shape. And my mom comes back on the 1st so she has vowed that on the second I'm going to be going through this crazy workout she's been doing with her soldiers who are overweight, and so I'm gonna get in shape. My mom is as hxc as any trainer could be.

That's about all that's going on. Marcus is still in Michigan, and I miss him. I'm just waiting for next weekend when everything goes down.

All My Love, Maria

So I'm a High School graduate. Yay me.

Yesterday I took a roadtrip with my uncle up to the Gila national forest, and as we walked outside to get in the car, I saw that my car had been egged.
Luckily whoever it was was a little puss and only did it with one egg.

So I washed off the practically cooked egg and drove off. Well halfway to Hatch, I saw the real crime to  my car.
Someone had spit on the sidemirror. Someone actually got out of the car, and spit on my mirror. Which is not only insulting, but majorly gross. I hate spit so hard. It is naaaaastay.

I read A Rare Breed of Love, and you should all go read it right now!!! It is awesome.

I started terrariuming. :D awesome! I will post pictures when I'm done. That's about it.

Here's me and Marcus!

I loved Indiana Jones so very very much. It's super awesome! Best movie ever.
Gore, Love, Aliens, Russians, Crazy-ness, Milton quotes, monkies, and of course sexymen, AHHHHHH It's so awesome!

I'm going to see it again tomorrow with my dad. Omg OMG best movie ever. I don't care what anyone else tells you, it's the bestest. :D:D

There was a kid sitting behind me who was like 3 and they were like magically quiet the entire time!

I got my gnome today and by is he so adorable! He has little eybrows and what not. CUTE. His name is Frederick.

I was so sick this morning. I woke up, got out of bed and felt like someone hit me with a sack of rocks. Right on top of my head. It was like the worst migrane I've ever hand mated with a sinus headache and thus, this morning was born. I slept all morning and I think I'm going back to bed soon. I woke up right before Marcus came back to check up on me and have lunch. I had a sandwich and he had one too plus ramen. Yum.

I wrote this scene for summerwrite last night and I didn't think it was going to be as gruesome as it was but man it's mean. I felt so bad for the character I was killing off. I created her to be killed off, but I don't know. I feel so bad for her. I really want some way for her to have a happy ending but I know it's not possible. The book is fun overall though. I'm really enjoying writing it.

Nothing else is really going on. I hate missing school. My dad got me Juno for my birthday and I finally got around to watching it. Stuff like that. We were supposed to go to the gym this morning but the headache said no, so in bed i stayed.

Maria

So I signed up for summerwrite...

I'm so gonna die this summer!

my birthday is in t-1 day and 1 hour. My mom gets here at around 5 on my birthday. I haven't really seen her since october or november, so this is exciting for me. For my birthday i really only asked for a few things, but since they were big ticket items it was okay i guess. It's my big 18th bday, i'm okay with going a little overboard. I'm throwing myself a party this year, last year i didn't plan it and it was a disaster. it's going to be wicked sweet, robot styled party. There WILL be posters! we went shopping for foods and now i have a fully loaded fridge, which is indeed a change of pace. I watched amelie on youtube right now, kind of broken up, almost like comercial breaks minus the comercials. sorry about the gramatical feild of land-mines i have laid for you, but you'll just have to navigate and move forward with your life. I got my graduation stuff, and i'm excited to graduate. i hope i have my gnome by then because i'll so sneak him into project grad and the actual ceremony and take quiet pictures of him in front of the stage. How fun! I hope that everyone is doing well, I don't really hear from many of you on a regular basis anymore, but if you have fun updates, comment me with them, unless they are sordid and steamy in which case, message me with them ;P

It's cold in my house, a good thing to me, because today it hit 92 according to my car. I'm sorry I'm kind of obsessing over the gnome and it keeps flitting into my head. Right now when I said 'according to my car' i thought after it 'man it would be cool to have the gnome have shot gun and have my uncle/dad/anyone really in the back grumbling!' I think i need more sleep.

I think after this I'm going to go peel a carrot, get myself a big glass of water and watch some animal planet. Then i'll go to bed i guess...

Speaking of sleeping, I've been having some weird dreams lately. I think soon i'll make an update with the full version but right now basically what is going on is that I stabbed a monster through the head with a ridiculosly long pair of sicissors( fuck the spelling damn you!) and it was bloody and coolish. Then last night I had a really weird dream but I can't really remember what it was about I told my dad some of it but I don't really remember much of the rest.

My life is progressing without much ado steadily towards summer. This is very good, I'm tired and really really lazy right now and I just want to have fun and have people dress up as robots and such.

I got a call from my Nana Mrs. T today, her health isn't tip top right now. I hope she comes out of it well, she's pretty much in my top five of coolest people i know, permenently. She's one hip lady, even if her back is supported by metal rods. She taught me so much, and took care of me. I hope she's okay.

Well I'm going to go act like a rabbit now!

Love, Maria


PS! I got pants that not only fit, they look good too. Thank you Academy sports!

 My mom can't come home early and she said she's gonna try but it's very unlikely that she'll make my 18th birthday either. She's lucky to be able to make it to my graduation. 

This is so upsetting.

-Maria

I hate this town. I couldn't find a single pair of pants.

EDIT: We are so cool.

Wow, I'm a dumbass.

I totally thought that today was a half day because of standardized testing.

But, in fact, it was not.
