On Saturday, I was driving down the street with my mom on our way to pick up some Jone's Soda and as we were driving we looked to the side and there was this baby boy, about 1 and a half, sitting in the street with no shoes or pants on, just a diaper and a shirt, playing with leaves. HE WAS JUST SITTING IN THE STREET!
There was this old guy on the curb like 5 ft. from him, but the man didn't seem to be with the baby, so we rolled down the window and asked him if he was with the baby, he said he wasn't and wasn't sure who the baby belonged too.
I got out and picked up the baby, who was very cute and smiley, and I had to go and knock on a few doors on the street to see which house he probably came from. I have NEVER wanted to steal a child so badly! I really didn't want to find those parents, he was soo cute! Plus, what kind of parents don't realize that their baby is missing. Well, I guess it could happen to anyone.
When I was 1 and a half, my dad was taking a nap and I was watching a video. He didn't lock the top lock so I just walked right out of the apartment and down two flights of stairs. Some neighborhood drunk found me, recognized me and took me back up to my house. That was a real shock to my dad, waking up to someone at your door telling you your kid had been wandering around outside!
Anyways, I found the kid's parents and gave him back, but it was hard. He was a sweetie-pie

Harold and Maude
Today I watched an amazing movie called Harold and Maude! It was made in 1971 and is hysterical!
It is about a boy who is depressed and not really seeing the beauty in life. Then he meets this crazy old bird named Maude. Together they go on all kinds of crazy adventures and form a strong bond. The movie has tons of funny parts and some really great casting.
The guy who plays Harold is really funny and Maude is just plain kooky the entire movie through and she makes the whole movie that much more. Plus, all the music is by Cat Stevens and does not only sound great, but it really fits well with the movie, which has a lot of ironic humor.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for some laughs and a movie that will make them feel optimistic.
I give it: 4.4 STARS!
Menchies if you Please
The BEST frozen yogurt shop BY FAR, is Menchies. I have been there like 8 times now and I cannot get enough!
You go in and they have every thing as serve and mix yourself. You get tester cups and you can sample everything that they have up. They usually have 8 yogurt flavors up at one time, ranging from cake batter, raspberry tart, espresso, irish mint, etc. They always have vanilla and chocolate! They flavors are always changing. As one runs out they fill it with another at random.
You then go to the mixins section where there is tons of candy bits, fresh fruit, brownie bites, mochi, and cheese cake bites! Everything is kosher! You mix in exactly what you want and how much of it!
Then you pay by weight, not by size. It is only $.39 an ounce so it is cheaper than cold stones, penguins, top of the swirl, pinkberry and yogurtiers. Also, it doesn't have that sour taste that pinkberry and some other places have! Gross.
Menchies is amazing. Here is their website: http://www.menchiesyogurt.com/
I give it: 5.0 STARS!
Tonight
Tonight was perfection. I've never been out with so many different people, most of whom I didn't know, and had such a good time.
It is amazing the changes that can happen in just a short amount of time. You can go from really thinking that you will never get along with a person to being completely friendly with them and wanting to spend more time with them.
Bowling was great and so were all the people. Tonight was exactly what I needed.

You can Bobe my Loca, honey!!
Tonight I had my first real BobaLoca. I have always just sorta awkwardly stood there while my friends got one, thinking it was not my thing. Tonight I got one and it really wasn't bad. I liked it, way more than I thought I would.
I got the White Chocolate Boba Frapp! It was really tasty.
My friends got the Tazo, which is my favorite color, lavender, and tastes like watery, buttered popcorn! IT IS STILL DELICIOUS THOUGH! I would recommend it.
I give it: 3.9 STARS

Good Friend
I have a really good friend, who I like to call Mobily. She is my inspiration and keeps me going through the hard times. I just wanted to write a little snippet about her since she means so much to me.
She is kind, decent, caring, giving, funny, creative, smart, athletic, and has got a rockin' bod! Well, Mobily, when you read this, know that you mean a lot to me and volleyball and making fun of Lucifer would not be the same without you!

Shut the F-UP!
Alright, so I just got back from my boyfriend's house. Love that guy, by the way. But his sister, who I will now only refer to as Lucifer, is just a total, arrogant, bitch.
I can't stand people who talk like they know what the hell they are talking about when CLEARLY they do not! The car ride home, first she butt into a conversation that I was trying not to include her in because she is an ignorant jack ass and then she decided to control the conversation by talking complete bull about herself.
She talked about feminism like she is smart enough to understand it and then went on to say that she believed that men were portrayed badly in the media. This has truth to it, but she is one to talk about how men should be treated. She has some like, 6 months max rule or something, because she can't possibly seem to hold any guy longer than that. I just wanted to smack her and say, "When you stop recycling guys, then talk to me about this!"
Fuck that bitch. Her little deal is, she brings guys over to her house, watches movies with them and then goes into the pool with them so she can show off her cellulite, cottage cheese ass. DON'T SAY THAT YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY WOMAN ARE PORTRAYED AS SEX OBJECTS IF YOU MAKE YOURSELF OUT TO BE ONE BY BRINGING GUYS OVER THAT TO SHOW OFF YOUR BODY TO THEM! Then when she is done with them in her pool make-out lair, then she takes them into her room to sit on her BED and "listen to music"!
After about 6 months of dating, she tries to get each of these guys to marry her, and they realize that they would be throwing their life away and run as fast as they can! GOOD CHOICE GUYS! She won't give you credit for it because she doesn't really believe in your self image, but good thinking.
Complete crap. People should stick to subjects they can actually talk about, like in her case, how to be a stupid bitch.
That is all about her stupidity for tonight, but I am SURE that there will be more.

Boy A
*MOVIE REVIEW*
Today, I watched Boy A and I have to say, I was disappointed. The story itself was moderately interesting but the movie was soooo slow! I almost gave up half way through. Life is too short to watch bad movies, but this time I plugged away, sure that it would get better. It did not until the last 25 minutes and the movie was an 1hr. and 39 minutes.
The overall story was about a man who goes back into society after being in prison more than half of his life. The preview on Apple.com makes it seem so fast passed and exciting, but it really isn't.
The film overall was kinda choppy and awkwardly done. Plus, I'm not a fan of graphic sex scenes which this movie does have. SPARE ME! AND MY BIGGEST MOVIE PET PEEVE OF ALL, when a couple has been having lots of sex together in a film and then after they have been together a good deal of time they say some cheesy bull like, "I think I'm in love with you..."! It's like, if you didn't realize that before you had sex with them for the first time, then you definitely shouldn't have been having sex with them to begin with. Idiots.
The ending is depressing and a little lack luster. I would only suggest anyone seeing it if they are in this situation: They are at home, bored, and there is absolutely nothing else on TV but this.
I Give it: 2.8 STARS!

I'm into you..ART!
I love art; classical art, modern art, ART GARFUNKEL! ALL OF IT! ART IS JUST GOOD! So, recently I have been re-looking at some of these pieces and I LOVE them! Take a look:
Tom Allen - Black Ibis
Richard Hawkins - City Undergroud
Lecia Dole-Recio - Untitled
ALSO, has anyone seen the This Side of Paradise exhibit at the Huntington? If you have and it's worth a look then please let me know! If it is, I'm going to try and see it before it leaves.

Books with a side of SCAM!
Ridiculous! I'm pretty much boycotting Barnes&Noble! Today I went online to find 4 books that I wanted to buy. I had a gift card so I thought this was a good opportunity to get to use it up and without ever picking my bottom off the chair I am sitting at now.
I was very excited to find all the books I wanted used and for under $7! I was thinking,"WHAT A STEAL, MAN!" I was buying three books for $2(two for me, one as a favor to my friend), one for $3, and the last for about $6. I was so stoked. The total said that without shipping and handling it was $15. That was perfect for using my $20 gift card and still having enough to pay for shipping and handling. SO I THOUGHT! Then, I went to check out and it came out to $35! That was quiet a change from it being around $20 and it telling me my shipping would only be $4 numerous times while finishing!
The whole thing is a scam! They made it seem like you are getting such a great deal but really, thats total bull my friend. If on my $6 book I wanted to pay $11, I would save myself the 4-14 day wait and go in to B&N and buy it for $12 new!
Two of my books were coming from the exact same vendor, so why was I paying $8 for shipping on those instead of $4? It doesn't cost $8 to send two, 100 page books by mail. Ri-friggin-diculous.
I didn't want to pay from my pocket, so I canceled on of my $2 books and the $6 book. My books then cost $7. With shipping and handling it came out to $19.85. $20 for 3 used books who's condition I haven't even seen yet. Yippe. I'm really feeling the saving. Thanks so much for the awesome deal, B&N. From now on, I will just go to a used book store and pay $5 a piece for each book, rather then cushion the nest of those greedy, deceiving, corporate low-lives over at B&N.
That was the last time I will buy from B&N for a long, LOOONNNG time.

Get Smart
*MOVIE REVIEW*
Tonight I went and saw Get Smart, with Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, and I have to say, I really, really liked it!
Usually, I really don't like movies with Steve Carell or any old SNL members (i.e. Will Ferrel, Adam Sandler) but this one, I actually liked. It had a good amount of witty as well as stupid humor, which I appreciate. *DOUBLE BONUS* NOT all the moderately funny parts were in the trailer, the movie ACTUALLY had OTHER funny parts! WHAT A CONCEPT, OH MAHH LOWARRDDD!
It made me laugh, had good casting, explained why Anne Hathaway's character wasn't closer to Steve Carell in age, like the 2 characters in sitcom, and ended in a non-cheesy, leading up to sequel kind of way. Good Job, People who worked on Get Smart!
*DOUBLE EXTRA SPECIAL CHERRY ON TOP BONUS* This movie was semi, almost, not totally a rip off because it was in fact, 1hr. and 50 minutes, ALMOST a whole two hours, making it like 25 minutes longer than most comedies these days that cannot come up with enough material for a whole 2 hours! So, it's got more bang for you buck if you want to go see it, and if you are one of the losers who goes to movies just to make out, the fact that it is longer will be a benefit to you too. PARTTYY TIME!
I Give it: 4.3 STARS!

Viva la Elliott Hundley!
Right, so my aunt's work, or some of it, was shown at the Hammer during an exhibition called Eden's Edge: 15 LA artists and while I was there I met and saw the work of Elliott Hundley. I have to say that it is all completely and utterly fabulous!
A lot of the work that night, other than my aunts, was a little sick and twisted, and Hundley's work, twisted maybe=, but totally genius! It's all like huge collages of good pictures and weird crap all thrown together in a really beautiful way. I say, "Bravo man, Bravo!"
I mean, he had this one piece called, "Deathless Aphrodite of the Spangled Mind", and first of all, after a title like that, I would totally wanna see it. Once you do see it, the name isn't too big for the piece because the piece is ENORMO and is totally kick-ass, yo!
He has tons of good stuff. I wanna give that guy a hand shake and a hug or something because he is amazing.
If you ever get a chance to look up any of his art or see any of it, try to check out
The Cave, which was my personal favorite.
(A room with some of Hundley's Work)

Perspective
Sometimes it feels so good to just go out with someone that you feel close to and really get some perspectives on life.
I just went to Porto's with my friend Claudia Choi. She's an actress and was my volleyball coach this year. I love her lots.
Anyways, I had been feeling pretty anxious and scared about where my life is going in the way of volleyball and college. I had been feeling like I was at a major crossroads where I could not have both. I could either focus on volleyball and try to go to some school, crazy far away to play or stay local and just go to college here. I am staring to feel like I can have both if I put the effort in.
Over delicious food, we talked about what I should do and how I should do it, as well as a few discussions about crazy people and perverts. I am so glad that everything is finally starting to take shape and I know what I have to do to get what I want.
Today..was great!

Into the Wild
*MOVIE REVIEW*
So, the other day I saw Into the Wild, and it was absolutely amazing. I loved it.
It is about this kid, right out of college, who decides the society is totally sick and the want for so many material things is just wrong. So, he takes only a few provisions, burns his money, and sets off on a cross-country trip on foot and with the help of people along the way, to Alaska.
It is a true story about Chris McCandless aka Alexander SuperTramp, who really did go into the wild to find himself and become more one with nature and the universe.
The movie makes you want to just go out into the wild like Chris McCandless and find your own cross-country adventure. It makes you want to get up and do something. The movie will probably make you cry, but it's worth the watch.
Into the Wild was based on the novel, Into the Wild, which I am now absolutely determined to read this summer!
BONUS! The music for the movie is all done by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, and it completely fantastic! If you email me, I will send you the entire album. The album is like 30 minutes long and sounds just perfect. You should definitely take a listen, as well as see the movie.
I Give it: 4.7 STARS!

Props to Gin
No, not gin like the alcoholic beverage, gin like Ginny Bishton, by fabulous aunt and artist. I also have her to thank for me making this blog. She has been the one who got me really into Twisty, who finalized the idea of me making a blog of my own.
Ginny is the greatest aunt, and all around person, that I know. She is completely giving and caring. I always have her when I need her. I cannot begin to count the favors that she has done for me and my family.
Plus, she is a brilliant artist. Some of her work can be seen at the Richard Telles Gallery and it's all beautiful stuff. I know I would love it, even if she wasn't my aunt. Her work is so bright and fun, so simple and pure. It's just perfect.
I am really blessed to have a person like her in my life.
Here is some of her work:
This is some of her earlier work. This was done in 1997 when I was at the tender age of 5. It is of dozens of vegetables collaged together beautifully.
This is part of her walking collection and the piece is made up of, millions I'm sure, itty-bitty circles of fotos of plants and flowers that she took while walking.
This is my favorite piece from her latest soup collection. My aunt made dozens of different colored soups and then photographed them and put them into beautiful pieces like this one.

Vote for Feminism
I now am starting to consider myself a feminist. I used to stereotype feminists as crazy women with hairy armpits, who didn't wear bras, and picketed for softer tampons or something. Kinda like this:
but now, I have realized that I should not be so judgmental about people fighting for MY right! Who cares what they look like, that shouldn't and doesn't matter. What they stand for is still the same, equality and better living for women! Hell, I want better tampons! So, I am now considering myself a feminist. I am going to remain shaving my legs and armpits, but I still believe that shouldn't be something to judge my character on nonetheless.
Feminists have some really good views on how the world needs to change in a more positive way for women and any woman can try to make a difference by standing up for what they feel is wrong with how they are being treated and looked at by society.
More on this later.

A little of my Life
A little bit more about me:
I live with my just my mom and my parents are divorced. I am 16 and currently attending a really nice public high school. I love my friends and I love most of my family, the family that I am still in contact with. I am completely in love with my boyfriend of over a year, Evan. He is perfection.
That's Him!
We get into little scuffs now and again, but we never give up on each other. We plan to be married someday and I couldn't be happier about it. Well, I guess that's not true. He has a really nice set of parents. His dad is wonderful, totally giving and self-sacrificing. His mom seems nice and like she tries her best to do right by her son. Since I love him a lot, I appreciate this. His sister on the other hand, I cannot stand. I guess it could be worse, but I just wish that she was a nicer person so marrying into his family wouldn't seem so...unappealing.

The Weepies
I have just started listening to a new band and I love them already. There sound is soo pure and uplifting. In a world where there is so much wrong, we need more songs to uplift us!
The band is called The Weepies and they are pure bliss. I want to hug them. They are a married couple, which I totally respect. I think it's fabulous that they have found something that they both love to do, create music, and they can share it with each other. God forbid they become like Sonny and Cher, and I mean that in all possible ways, but mostly just in them splitting up. They have some absolutely fabulous songs. My personal favorites so far are:

- Orbiting
- Jolene (Not a Dolly Parton Cover, which I appreciate)

I hate how the beginnings in most novels start out so slowly; boring and unentertaining. I want things to start off with a BANG! So, when telling about myself now, in this beginning to my blog and blogging experience, I will try to make it as entertaining as possible, or at least short and sweet.
I am starting this blog because I feel inspired. Recently, I have been feeling inspired by now fellow blogger, Twisty Faster. Her feminist blogs and really thought provoking and make you want to take a step back and realize that the world is pretty f-ed up. I respect her ideas totally and it made me want to write too. I don't know that I only want to talk about feminism, but I do know that I want to write about what is relevant to me. I want to inspire people, I want to make people think, I want to share what I am thinking, I want to express what I am thinking and not always able to say aloud. That is why I am here. That is why I am doing this. Are you still awake? Hope so. I will write on here whenever I find something that I need to say, jot down, and write just so that it will feel that much more real. I hope that you will enjoy this journey to express myself as a person and tell of the world I live in now, with all its ups and down.
