love is a four letter word
Words like "darn" "frick" and "heck" have ovetaken the vocabulary of those of us who wish to refrain from using "cuss words" but these are really just words that somone decided to be less vulgar (probably because they sound like breeds of chickens).
I have come up with a substitute that is guaranteed to eliminate all harshness from your vocabulary.
Replace your curse word of choice with love.
Literally, replace it with love.
Examples:
Loveit!
What the love?
Love you!
You're so lovin' annoying.
Ohmilove!
I lovin' hate that.
Go to love.
Love!
It's hot as love in here.
Sonuvalove.
That's lova sweet.
Well I'll be loved.
There's no way in love...
Love it all!
Love happens
Just try sounding angry when you say one of those.

Lyrics I appreciate right now:
hanging from a tree I see you
you look upside-down
oh what a shame that from this angle
your smile should appear a frown
the ground looks like the ceiling
and the sky kind of looks like the ground
but the blood keeps running to my head girl
won't you please come and help me down?
-swallowtail catastrophe
remember that day back in 6th grade?
they told you that i liked you
i sadi it wasn't true
but it was a lie if i said i did not love you
yes it was a lie if i said i did not
time quickly passed by until our freshman year
i finally said the words
it seemed you did not hear
i remember my friends were so mad at you
for letting me down
i held you up so high
but you couldn't see around
don't go away
i watched you carry the casket to my grave
and i knew you were still the same
but me i've change so many different ways
and i'm sorry you had to hear this
-Something DeLOREAN

como estas, miguel?
By popular demand (from someone who's more demanding than popular. haha!...I just felt way too clever when I came up with that) ...A small update, Mexico pt 2
We made a tight regatone music video with the orphans. Which I will hopefully get a hold of soon, because I shot and edited it and I am pretty proud.
the cast:

the cast:
We're pretty legit and bad a and all that shiz. Word up. We brought tons of bandanas and plastic bling. Not to mention the kids busted out their inner thug....And can dance quite impressively.
i adore this kid:
Got a moving shot of him ripping his bandana off and throwing it to the grand. All slow and dramatic. He's a born actor.
Then we got dressed up all snazzy and anounced each kid individually and cheered for them as they walked down the red carpet.
It was a night of stars that involved the worlds shortest beat boxer...

We watched the movies and I have to say as a filmmaker, you couldn't have asked for a better audience. There were massive cheers and laughter and the kids absolutely adored seeing themselves on screen, even though a lot of them were shy during the filming process.
I can't explain it...So hopefully the video will be up here soon.
next up...Valentine's Day! I know, I should update all at once, but I'm behind on my Inspector 42 report that's due soon. Also, staying out until 4.30 in the morning hinders my memory skillz.

livin' la vida loca
Slept for hours and am now feeling loads better. I hope the good feeling lasts.
So, Mexico.... :)
Left from the Wal-Mart parking lot at around 5am. Brooke, Cait, and I were in the back and fell asleep for a good five hours. Which we never heard the end of from the two in the front.
I couldn't have picked better people to be in a car with. Chris was on his 13th trip with Kaiizen to Mexico and knew everything about everything. Ellen was friendly and hilarious and liked cuddling. And I adore Brooke and Cait. We bonded quickly by all sharing our love lives and about our families.
Once in Mexico we ate at an excellent taco shop. This crazy guy decided for some reason that he was going to annoy me as much as possible, and kept tapping me on the opposite shoulder (because that never gets old). Also ate a bite of a raw cactus. We spent the night on the beach under the stars...and froze most of the night.
Day 2 - We "roll out" and hit up a school near the orphanage. It was mass chaos at first (and, well the whole time mostly). We all got swarmed by children. Seven boys would all attack one guy and try and knock him over.
They had us teach the classes and our group was over 2nd and 3rd grade. We wrote a story about a Super Vampiro who fell in love with a girl and had a blue car. Then we drew pictures.
I made friends with a boy named Jarome, he spoke perfect English because his "dad is a gringo". He was really good at drawing squids.
After that we had a carnival of sorts and there was face painting, sidewalk chalk, sack races, etc. etc. More chaos and running around, just the kind of thing I love.
I kept speaking a strange mix of Spanish and Italian with an English accent and the kids just gave me funny looks.
to be continued...

Mexico was fabulous...Of course.
One problem: since yesterday I have had a pretty bad stomachache (even for me) and I kind of want to die...maybe. You know the Pepto Bismal theme song? That's how I feel.
I think today will consist of a lot of laying around and not moving. And trying to do homework.
Mezico update later
"well, my phone's about to die..."
"sounds like you're about to die."
"thanks, mom."
being sick isn't fun...at all

took the midnight train going anywhere
In an hour and a half I will be headed to the Wal-Mart and from there to Mexico...Where I will spend a couple days playing with and mentoring orphans and then back home again.
I actually don't really know what part of Mexico we're going to. Or what exactly we're doing. I just felt this need to go and acted on that impulse.
I make a lot of decisions impulsively.
But it always (usually) works out.
My life is preoccupied with film application stuff at the moment.
Tom (Russell) thought I was already in the program, which I think is a good sign.
Here I go to sleep on the ground and not shower for four days. Yesss.
Just what I need.

it's been a long time long time
Reasons I love the Library:
.Some guy just stood in the middle of the room pumping his arms triumphantly
.Another guy has been talking about his family's dog, Scooby, for five minutes...Then another five minutes discussing how their other dog, Patch, got his name.
Oh, now he is talking about kittens.
"they're actually really cute, I'm not a big cat fan but...Oh, you like cats better than dogs? Yeah, because you don't have to take care of cats. The only thing with them is that you have to worry about them scratching up your carpets. Because a lot of places now won't let you buy them if you're going to declaw them. But now they have these things that are fake plastic nails that go over the claws, but they fall off a lot. But I guess it's becoming a new thing...In the cat world."
I should have picked somewhere less distracting to study.
Word of the day (coined by moi): Shamditioner n. 2-in-1 conditioner and shampoo.
It's great because it sounds like a swear word.

you're gonna love me.
I found a dress at DI today for $4.
It is amazing in every way possible.
I also found clothes for my orphan.
I have 2 papers to write.
I also have 3 tests to take.
all before I leave at...4:45
in the morning on Thursday.
Today I picked a verbal fight with a good part of my FHE group. The climax was when Elizabeth went storming out and slammed the door. And in classic Campus Plaza style about half a dozen people were watching.
If I could profess my love in any way...I would do it by busting out a song from Dreamgirls. I really, really wish I could sing like a black woman.
Quote of the day:
"You just got semi proposed to. Have a cookie!"
Life in our apartment is rarely dull.
You can buy 120 tea bags for $20 at stashtea.com and that pleases me greatly.
