is it break up season?

there were these shirts in miami that said 50% single...how fitting...=)

heres more song lyrics:

The night will come
and rip away,
her wings of innocence through every word we say
maybe it's time,
to spit out the core of our rotting union
hopefully before it chokes
us to our senses.

Guess it's too bad,
that everything we have
is taken away.

Swim in the smoke
the hero will drown
intoxicating beauty tears everything down
but still our hands are
bound at the wrist
this romantic tragedy is suffocating from your fist,
in a sea of fire.

Guess its too bad,
that everything we have
is taken away.

Hero, Hero, this word you'll never know

Guess its too bad
that everything we have
is taken away.
Away, away, away. They're taking it away

woke up to go to this name brand blowout sale thingie...got there 15 min after it started and there was at least 100 girls before me...haha...was worth it though...fuckin sucks im not a size 26 though...haha

had a midterm...did horribly...with 5 min left i still have 1/4 of the test blank...<sigh>

went to work with the kids...which was pretty ok...except one of them said he hated me...and another one said i was mean...stupid boys...2 of them cried today...<sigh>...ugh...at least 3 of them defended me...haha

then the saves the day concert...BORING!...i mean the band is very good...i dont know what it was...just a boring audience? boring set list? i would have enjoyed it if i was watching it on tv...or like...if it was in a seated stadium or something...but at the house of blues!? you gotta rock it...they didnt even play their most popular song! wtf is that?!

went to coronet after...paul got two drinks...his old bartender left...something about family troubles =
went to mels diner after...so we're chillin there and theres some pretty interesting people...oh! i forgot to mention after the concert there was this girl passing out fliers to her b-day party...she was fuckin cool...i give her mad props...she ended up at the diner too...super cool girl...her names becca and shes turning 18 next sunday =P...so we're chillin at the diner and i look at the door and theres this kid trying to get in but security stops him...i stop for a second and i'm like...isnt that....it is!!! it was frankie munez (sp?)...you know...agent cody banks...the kid from that one tv show...haha...hes SO tiny...

:: Gina 2:25 AM ::
...

omg! i am sooooooooooooo bored...this is ridiculous...

im taking this 2 unit class as assignment desk for annenberg tv news...my job basically is to call people to get interviews...or to find out general information...usually this takes up most of the time...esp waiting for people to return the calls...but today...the interviews are all done...so theres really nothing to do...

ive looked at 1000 xangas...took that quiz...checked e-mail...i even started studying...but couldnt keep awake so...here i am blogging...

in the news...edwards dropped out at 1pm...i hope he gets chosen as v.p. though...that would be cool...bush arrived in LA at 12pm...prop 55, 57/58 passed...prop56 did not...ericas friends dad won the irvine district senator

i wish i was really into politics...it seems like it would be fun...

i dont really have anything to say...haha...saw the final episode of avg joe 2...didnt watch this time around...but figured id watch the finale since the TV was already on...she didnt pick the avg joe...who was SO incredibly sweet to her...although he did say that he loved her...which is kind of creepy...cuz really...how long have they known each other...so she picks the "hunk" dude...and they fly off to cabo...spend a couple days togehter...then she tells her big secret...oOOoooOOooOoOoo... her ex-bf was fabio...der...big deal...seriously...its like...so what? apparently the hunk guy takes it very poorly and just leaves! hahahahahaha...i think he just took any chance to leave...

i loved the first one...melena was a sweet sweet girl...not the brightest child...but she was obviously a very decent person...this girl just came off as a bitch to me...thats probably why i didnt watch...she wasnt appealing...i think its funny that he left her at the end...no wonder they made the other version...

adam returns...=) after he got passed up...we all knew that he would be ok...that commercial where he went home and found a million messages on his answering machine was really good =) im happy for him

american idol as ok last night...didnt blow me away like last week...there was a cute 17 yr old girl from hawaii that just amazed me...didnt not expect her to sound like that at all...i hope she gets through...the two i wanted got through last week...

OC tonight!

The Peach
Random Gentle Love Master (RGLMf)

Playful, kind, and well-loved, you are The Peach.

For such a warm-hearted, generous person, you're surprisingly experienced in both love and sex. We credit your spontaneous side; you tend to live in the moment, and you don't get bogged down by inhibitions like most women your age. If you see something wonderful, you confidently embrace it.

You are a fun flirt and an instant sweetheart, but our guess is you're becoming more selective about long-term love. It's getting tougher for you to become permanently attached; and a guy who's in a different place emotionally might misunderstand your early enthusiasm. You can wreck someone simply by enjoying him.

Your ideal mate is adventurous and giving, like you. But not overly intense.

take the test

this has showed up on a couple xangas...its suppose to be super accurate, but i dont know...i still have that attachment problem..."You can wreck someone simply by enjoying him"...that i can understand...<shrug>...i dont think it really says much...but these things are fun =) esp when youre bored =P

had an interview today...got the internship =) im going to be working in development for a non-profit org called first star...planning a celebrity charity event to help abused children =) im excited =) but it means that i might not be able to tutor the kids anymore...we'll see how that works out though...those children are driving me crazy anywayz...dont think i can take 5 days a week of those devil children! ahahah...=P

my back is hurting...damn...old...im going to be 22 in less than a month...its march!!! omg!!! time is passing so fast! what to do this year...dont know if can pull off another crazy party...guess its up to lou =P it was hard enough convincing him last year...
