hawkerstand's Xanga

Just because I haven't done anything here in ages...

Rawr. My left hand is sort of falling asleep and I'm perfecting a mix CD for a friend (which really means I'm just listening to it over and over again because I don't know what other songs to put on it) and I'm getting a LOT of random thoughts coming to me.

- My default picture is friggin' OLD, but it's annoying replacing them, so why bother?
- I remember when I made my school friends get xangas and we all thought we were total beasts. whatever.
- I need to buy a dress for my school dance tomorrow, which will probably involve shoe shopping. I don't mind dress shopping, but shoe-shopping drives me nuts.
- I WILL go to Projekt Revolution this year. Linkin Park AND Hawthorne Heights? I must.
- I have two mosquito bites on my ankle, and their close proximity is sort of making my ankle feel like it's swelling when it's not.
- Why am I not watching the Rocket's game right now?
- Who's Line Is It Anyway?="lol irl"
- props to anyone who knows what "lol irl" means. XD

p.s. I have a feeling the same number of people would read this whether or not it's on public or private (for slightly slow people, that'd be just me. :P)

So I've made a vow to stay off of Myspace and Facebook for a week. It's only been three days and every time I get on the computer, my fingers start to type out "m-y..." when I have to stop myself check my e-mail instead. NOT getting on Myspace and Facebook made me realize that I don't get on that many websites in general...Xanga layouts are a lot more complicated then they use to be -_-"

2008's been pretty good in the past 65 hours of it. I've started school, but I spent as much of my holiday as possible watching America's Next Top Model "Modelthon" on VH1 and playing Mario Kart Double Dash with my sister and cousin. We FINALLY unlocked the Special Cup, but I don't have a Gamecube memory card, so we have to unlock it every time we want to play it, and unfortunately, we're not actually that great at the game, so it's sort of hard. ><; It took us from the end of Winter Retreat until yesterday to finally do it. haha

And on the note of Winter Retreat...I e-mailed Chuck to ask for the Bible plan and someone from his church sent it to me. w00t. It has the whole Bible in a year, the New Testament in a year, and the New Testament in 90 days. Unfortunately, it's in Microsoft Publisher form so I'm not sure if I should print it out, save it, etc. @_@ If anyone wants it, I can e-mail it or print it out I guess.

SURRENDER; MEDITATE; OBEY

OVERLOAD.

give me a second to bang on my keyboard:

sd;fja;iejfa;vn;ajdsf;jkla;klj c vc fgfvc 3

- I'm such a frikkin' procrastinator.
- I highly dislike my science teacher.
- I'm back in one of my ruts.

It usually happens right before winter retreat too. I feel like there's nothing to hang on to. I get overloaded with work because I start to ignore it until last minute, but I've never had so many projects at once! They're all due back-to-back. It's crazy.

GAH. I'm going to go procrastinate just a little more. I'll take a shower to clear my head, practice my recital piece for piano, watch Transformers then go pick up a Bible. I lent my original one to my best friend and now I feel naked, but it felt like the right thing to do, although I haven't been reminding her to read it =X

Oh another note, I've missed so many episodes of Heroes, that I have almost no idea what's going on :(

WHEE!

I'm in Florida :)

[the home of Yellowcard, to be specific.] lol

EDIT

It's nice being home again. I miss my bed, which I should be sleeping in write right now, except I'm writing excuse notes for my teachers for why I wasn't at school. DX

1 Remember your Creator
       in the days of your youth,
       before the days of trouble come
       and the years approach when you will say,
       "I find no pleasure in them"-

2 before the sun and the light
and the moon and the stars grow dark,
and the clouds return after the rain;

3 when the keepers of the house tremble,
       and the strong men stoop,
       when the grinders cease because they are few,
       and those looking through the windows grow dim;

4 when the doors to the street are closed
       and the sound of grinding fades;
       when men rise up at the sound of birds,
       but all their songs grow faint;

5 when men are afraid of heights
       and of dangers in the streets;
       when the almond tree blossoms
       and the grasshopper drags himself along
       and desire no longer is stirred.
       Then man goes to his eternal home
       and mourners go about the streets.

6 Remember him—before the silver cord is severed,
       or the golden bowl is broken;
       before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
       or the wheel broken at the well,

7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

- Ecclesiastes 12:1-7 (NIV)

Just some verses I need to keep in perspective...

Hi to anyone who still uses xanga :D.

I am slightly bored, so I decided to blog because no one's probably going to read this. [haha.] Well, my English teacher's homework is slightly overwhelming. I'm trying to finish writing a poem right now...>.> So I guess I'm not really bored, just procrastinating. Anyways, I wanted to see what's up [or going down]. If we haven't talked in awhile, hit me up.

the highlight of my day.

That's not Patrick Swayze!!!

So my dad and mom were watching this movie from the early 80s and they were arguing whether or not one of the main/supporting (idk, I wasn't watching x.x) was Patrick Swayze.

It was quite hilarious.

And "Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong" is stuck in my head (seeing as it's one of the ending credit's songs..) Wasn't there one family guy episode using that song, or does it just sounds familiar for no reason?

I'm ACTUALLY updating!

Well, not really. I was just posting to say that no one uses xanga anymore. meh
I might as well blog seeing as I'm already here.

So during my northeast two-week vacation, I visited the International Spy Museum. It was prettyy cool. In the beginning, you had to do this debriefing where you had to choose from a few identities and back stories to memorize (not that we used it ever again in the whole museum.) I chose something along the lines of:
Name: Maria Rivera
Age: 17
Occupation: Student
Birth Place: Tecotlalo'n(?!) Mexico (I DON'T REMEMBER HOW TO SPELL IT. BITE ME.)
[the place I was spying in]: Alden, Iowa (I think >.>...SOMEWHERE in Iowa. heh.)
Reason: Vacation

The one thing I don't get is why would someone vacation in IOWA?!
That makes no sense whatsoever. XP

Anyway, the rest of the museum was filled with facts about bugs, real spying as to Hollywood spying, how to spy, a air duct to crawl through (with a noise meter that told you when you got to loud. They mentioned that spies use to crawl in them to overhear conversations during something going on in Cuba, so there were fake recordings playing inside), what spies have achieved, what they've ruined, betrayal, loyalty...the whole works.

I also visited 9 colleges!
(in chronological order)
- University of Virginia
- Georgetown
- University of Maryland
- NYU
- Columbia
- Yale
- Harvard
- Temple University
and
- University of Pennsylvania (or Penn. w/e)

Yeah...the schools in bold are ones that I'm interested in. :)

so...yup,
Victoria

p.s. xanga's spell check SUCKS lollipops.
