I loveth Mika's new album. The end.



Fooled yaaaa. WHUTTTT

I am bored as hell and I hate the work i have right now. We're starting a research paper in lit. which requires 4-5 proposal. Sure half of it is quotes from the book, either way I dont like it. hmph. In painting we're doing a political issues painting which is not my strong point because Im pretty much oblivious. I am kinda clueless on what to do and we have one more class period to do  it. Why do I always talk about school? I dont know because I am frikkin tired of it and I want summer to commmmmme *whines*

On the father front it is sucky as usual. Yesterday when he dropped my sister off at home he gave me easter candy with a note which basically said "My present to you is for you to think of me on Easter" and some other crap about how he didnt like the names I called. No, duh no one likes being called an a**hole, a***hole. He always makes it out as he is mad at me when I am mad at him. He wont acknowledge anyone who is mad at him and he'll ask " Are you feeling better?" I believe he is mentally unstable because he still treats me like a kid. And no not the complaining teenager type, the little brain-washable type. I want to slap him upside the head, but I know he'll beat up or something like he did once to my mom.  That's my life. And by the way he only gave me the pastry because my sister didnt want it. ha.

On another Dad tangent, he bought a ring for a mystery girlfriend. A ring. over a thousand dollars. He got laid off and wont help pay for my college because of the cleaning wom---- oops wife he wants to have to take care of himself. All those crappy dating sites paid off. Cause the money he spent on a luxury car, big screen hd tv, huge mortgage and engagement ring, sure arent going to help his own family.

Also I went to Middlesex county college for open house b/c I am looking into options for transferring because of this shit my dad caused. I have a frikkin 3.67 gpa and probably one of the top five in my block sched. classes. I hate life right now. But on the plus side I have a Emilie Autumn concert and AnimeNext to look forward to. And HP6. And I still need to get Twilight on dvd. And hopefully I can get a scholarship. I am going to meet with the Illustration Chairman to talk about scholarships and I am nervous as hell because I lack normal people speaking skills. Insecurity tangent sorry. Gotta remember there are people worse situations.

Till Next time and sorry for the bad grammar anger.

So its been a while since I last posted and I have many books and seen many movies since the last post and also my life which has been consumed by art school. 
 
First off, I've read all three ya books by John Green who also has an awesome youtube vlog with his brother Hank Green. My favorite has to be An Abundance of Katherines because I think its the quirkiest and the funniest of the three. As with all his books there is a message/theme which comes together very nicely at the end. Plus I like any book that uses anagrams (the main character was a child prodigee and has a habit to angram everything). The title is refering to the character's (who's name I have a very bad habit of forgeting for no good reason cept my bad memory) who has dated and been dumped by nineteen girls named Katherine. My only problem in all of his books is that the girl who is the main character's love interest is always seems to be outgoing and thought to save cancer. However, at the end of the novel we always see that is not the case so I guess its more a factor of the book than a mary sue. Case in point, Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines and Paper Towns are all awesome, funny and the most readable books I have read this year (coming from me who has so far read in class Candide, Iliad, Frankenstein and the Metamorphosis. NOT FUN).

I also read Beastly which is a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast set in New York City. It is not the best thing in the world because while is corny and a bit cliche, its one of those books you gotta finish. Sure I know how it ends but still. Its like a Disney Channel Original Movie with what's her face and what's his face that always end up together. The magical transformation support group chat room is kinda hokey complete with the Little Mermaid, the Prince Frog and some other basic fairy tale creatures. It was a 'meh' book.
On my reading now list I am currently reading Jane Eyre, The Singing, Merchant of Venice (<-for literature class) and probably something else i take fromthe library. I <3 you public library.

So movies. I watched the Last Samurai. Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise is actually a good actor. I was suprised because since the Oprah and the scientology thing I've been kinda weirded out by him. Samurai is probably the only one of his movies that I will like and not because  I am a japan-ophile but because it was good as a movie. I know my vocab is astounding.

Also last Saturday I saw Watchmen which in short I thought it was ok. I read the first ten or so pages of the comic while in borders a long time ago and I want to finish it. From what I could remeber it was pretty faithful  in the beginning. There were a lot of violence and sex scenes but that what I expect from a comic book movie. I am not a long time fan of Watchmen so I cannot say whether it fit or was inserted as a bone crushing and blood gushing porno. NOT that the action scenes were not fun to watch, but I found myself cringing a lot. I'm such a baby lol. I did love Rorschach( nother name I can't remember or spell argh) because I like snarky and mean characters that hate world. When he was exploded ( or imploded???) by Dr.Manhattan I was sad.
On a side note, I wiki'd the movie and found out in the comic that a mutant octopus(or squid thing, awful memory strikes again) attacked New York not a the atomic(?) explosion in the movie. I am kinda sorta kinda glad they changed it.

In my real life I learned I have to do a 4 ft by 6 ft painting for my final Painting hw. WTFRIKKKKKKKKKINHELL. Fun. It is going to be. Tons of fuggin fun

And woot i is nineteen today. huzzah. except not.

PS The subject title is an anagram. but for what? hmm. Intriguing.

So this is gonna  be a movie themed entry. I saw Twilight last Friday. ...and it was.......okay actually. I was fearing for the worse. Eragon bad. But it was okay. Maybe the sparkle Effect was meh  but that's more of budget thing. It looked like someone spread glue over pattinson and threw some white sugar and craft sparkles over him. It was kinda annoying but what annoyed me more was when there was sunlight out and the vamps were still chilling outside. Maybe Im just picky.
The cheese factor was there of course and a lot of staring in each other's eyes things. But I think hardwicke did a good job sometimes with the whole woozy feeling Bella gets with ed bc there were a lot of slanting camera shots and I found my self tilting my head alot. Idk much about camera work. Or maybe I mistaked the "bedazzled" feeling with the growing feeling of nausea. Also what I liked that they changed in the movie was that the norm kids were more lively and joking instead of bored and stupid like how Meyer portrays them in the books. Props to mike welch (???). I gotta thing for the dorky types what can i say.  Story was faithful to the book with some added action which Meyer has a phobia of apparently injecting into the series. Alice hoping onto the guys shoulders and tearing his head off = not expected in what i thought would be Bella fainting and waking up in the hospital like in the book. Kudos for added details like that. Also I liked the awkwardness of Edward at times when he talks like a dorky old man. And Alice's out of this world look on her face was good too. The way that Jasper hanged around her expressionless all the time with the whole general in the army thing was a good prelude to Eclipse. Overall the movie was good and I am relieved that I dont feel I should of thrown my nine dollars in the toilet instead. Im looking at you Eragon. Meh, Harry Potter has gotten me spoiled.

Nother movie I saw was Spiderman 3 finally got it in netflicks. I know it got baaad reviews from the podcasts i listened to at the time and also other people ive heard from : l. ew tobey mcguie. No more emo/ dick prances down the street and dancing on bar table top dancing for you. And wtf my fav char is dead. And whathisface peterfoil photographer is a snotty villain. : ((((( I mean Venom's cool and all ,but dude you lost your job and girlfriend and you go out on a killing streak. You almost beat peter parked in the emo category...almost.
AND they should of cut out Sandman thing bc it just over polluted the movie with villains 1. Green goblin jr. ( TT _TT) 2 Sandman 3. Venom/ whathis face snothead 4. new radioactive substance/ emo radioactive tar.  Im not totally familiar with the comics very well (as you can tell i dont remember names very well hence the snot head thing).

dammit I liked the first one. Dont go potc on me. 
 

I will now return to the Research paper that Im supposed to be doing. yay ancient egypt and byzantine christian art.

it was so great. tons of fun. Apples to Apples. claiming trees in the name of america. s'all good.

In case you havent noticed I suck at writing blogs. Oh well. I had to do a toilet bowl drawing and then clean said toilet. Oodles of fun.



Anyway! pictures! : D

 
aww

photoshopped for maximum joker creepyness! :D
 
yoruichi in tree
 
Obama does appeal to young people! now where was mccain...

it was pretty outside! : 3

is awesome. Possibly my favorite over Under the Iron Sea. Even though it may sound more pop, it still has songs that sound like prev. songs with just piano. My favs are 'Perfect Symmetry' and 'Pretend that You're Alone Now'. Really good lyrics and catchy but not annoying catchy. Sorry that sounds cliche. : l


Yea  so college is starting to feel more like how college should feel like now. Lotsa hw and tiring of course. Not the magical rainbow happy place where people slack and do whatever the fuck they want. Matter of fact right now I should be studying for a midterm. But I am not. Because I am procrastinating. Yep , I really should. yea........

OK! (*__* ) Study time!



geeky side note: in guild wars got my first pet. a mini something or another I forgot how to spell. Halloween in a week! My 2 sec attention span at its finest...

One of my favorite bands new album is coming out and im buying the actual physical disc on oct 11 when it comes out which is saying something. I havent bought a cd in a billion years it feels like. But im oc and need the physical cd of Keane to put on my shelf! Anyway Im probably the only one in my group of friends (except svajen who also into brit stuff) who actually listens to them bc theyre all indie brit rock with piano and drums and no guitar player, but i love them. Their new cd has an 80s sound without sounding overly outdated. "spiralling" the single is awesome and fast-paced with is unlike their usual stuff. I think I like it better than "Is it any wonder?" Their prev. single.

Yea so started college thats all fun and joy. Except not really. Waking up early, always having paint stains on your clothes, almost getting off at the wrong train stop, uber supply costs and books. THE BOOKS. Are so friiiiikin expensive. Damn you higher education.


I kid, I kid. Ill love you, eventually but right now you  can be tiring . Yea, ok I'll stop complaining already.

But really its better than I thought it would be. I only got lost on the subway once. Major accomplishment I'll say. Of course Im not one of the best in class anymore, but ill live. Haha I sound like I have an ego. Thats good stuff. But the best part is that I now have an excuse not to go to my fathers on tuesdays. MAYBE even weekends. I really really hope so.  More good news, my father went to Italy for two whole weeks of eating, pampering, complaining about my mom, me and sister, me going to art school, paying for said school and my mom again. Really thats not even sarcasm. Conversation always ends with your mother's a criminal who stole from me blahblahblahcranky old white man syndrome. But, yea oh well thats my prob.


My camera broke. Tears. I miss u. I never used you much, but now that I cant I really wish I could. I need a life instead of making love confessions to inanimate objects.

Sva is cool. I made a friend. I miss free time. Played guild wars for like 2 hours in 2 months. so thats it k thanks bye :3

oh yeah! watch so cute not die from sugar cute but still. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdvLEiWzEvQ

So Friday I went to the BD release party with friends which was fun. I pretty much mulled around. There were trivia questions which were frikkin easy hung up around the store to answer and win a prize. BUT there were repeats and people started to hide questions. I knew those thirteen year olds were trouble. crazy bitches 

jk of course. I feel in feeling answers wiht Edward but forgot to hand it in. The prize was stupid anyway which was to be first in line to get the book bc we were the fourth people in line anyways lol. 

yea so Im on pg 400 sumthin, yes Im a crazy ass bitch. Honestly Im  like a pubescent little boy who has learned curse words and decides to use them btween evrey word even if makes no sense. Off tooooopiiiiiiiiiic.

What I regret is that I didnt wear my Harry Potter glasses from last year. How many pissed off hp haters-you-canonlylike-twilight fangirls would beat me up? I did all that myself when we wree spoofing a scene where I have to trip. Trip. Not fall. But I always go the extra length to fall scrap my knee and foot. XC Ironically I started bleeding a bit so yea heywhydidntedwardshowuphaahaha. 

aaaaah yea. right. I'm a dork. <(^_^  )

Otakon is comin up. fuuuun Imgoing to take lotsa pictures unlike AnimeNEXT.


Also the Dad situation is still the same. He going to talk to me alone next time I go to his house. Two hours of him saying Im wrong, My mom and I are thiefs. and that what Im doing is wrong. Its fuckin art school, Im not dealing drugs sheesh. Listening tomy dad is like listening to a catholic priest go on and on. I dont really care but I have to. Just wish he would disown me. Srsly, I heard its cheaper and less harder on your wallet if you do that : /


Dammit I waaaannnnt sC4 sooomuch. : (

 So this past week I've been stressed and feeling down. As usual the cause is my father. Tuition for my school is due this Friday Aug. 1. My father is SUPPOSED to pay 56%. And he KNOWS payment is DUE  TO THE SCHOOL FRIDAY. He comes to our house this Sunday with a check of ------you guessed it!-----a check for Five hundred eleven fuckin dollars! If anyone has a proper knowledge that colleges cost a lot they would know that $511 is around $3,500 less then the needed amount. How does $511 equal 56%? 

Well! In my father's head, my stupid $52/week job filing constitutes as a profitable source of income. And people think I'm stupid. He says he paid for his college and so should I. His family were immigrants from Italy and he has two brothers. He hoards money like its the Depression and does not turn on the AC unless is >95 degrees and vice versa. He did not get me or my sister a Christmas or birthday present for the past year neither did he get me a graduation present. That may make me look greedy, but he says the reason is that we dont deserve anything and he does not like how we behave with him. And we dont know how to eat a proper bowl of pasta. The man is obsessive compulsive about pasta and eating for some reason. Sorry Father, I dont like people who call my mother a bitch right in front of me. Nore do I like when I get upset and call you a monster that your best comeback is to stutter and say that Im a monster and a pig. And he has other history with our family I would not want to divulge hear.

So my father refuses to pay his part and my mother has to take him to court. In late August. Practically a month after the payment is do. Why does he refuse to cooperate? He believes that I'm wrong, I'm making the worst decision of my life, and that my mom and I are trying to steal money from him. Also he did not have  a say in anything. Of course daddy you had a say in it. Course what you said was BS to me but still. The 62, divorced, crazy, friendless man who talks to himself is always the first person you ask for career advice.

...

Right. 


So yea I look sad but I have my reasons. Sorry for the shit. We're going to Sva tomorrow to sort things out. Im going the get a wig for Otakon and hopefully Hello Kitty barrettes!!


Now for the happy part...
Otakon is in a week! So yay for that <3

Breaking Dawn midnight release pary this Friday! *sigh* HP party nostalgia,

SVA orientation and then onward to the rest of the year.

I'll try to get over all the crap I've been feeling. Stress is not my friend. It's easy to tell when Im down. Usually Im totally silent or trying too hard. There's never any middle ground for me. I just dont want to end up like my father. That scares me the most out of every thing. And that fear is usually what causes me to head in the direction my father is in. 

 Cristina despises painting. and glueing. and yea. Other than that everything's A-OK! :) 

I had a very fun time at my friend's 18th birthday party which included human knots and a human pyramid. We like bodily torture for entertainment. Signed yearbooks and ate lots of cake. cannoli cake is the bestest. <<<333

So this is my first entry in my new lj account. I used to have another but it was deactivated because i never used it : /

Prom is this Friday and there still is a crap load of stuff to do. Things like eyebrows, nails, hair, accessories, the usual craziness. Other then the stress that comes before it Im so esssited to be hanging with my buds before graduation. Which is in a week.  (; . ;)

On a happy note, AnimeNext is right after graduation and that means cosplay, dealers room and much much more !1<33

*sigh* I dont want school to end. Maybe I should bomb all my finals. jk. But still! I don wanna grow up! Im Toys R Us kid!
