"Thrifty"
Which is a nice way of saying cheap. I can't believe I associate with people who would pay over thirty bucks for a piece of clothing! I wear clothes/shoes until they're litterally falling apart. The family motto: "It was on sale AND i had a coupon!"

Nerdy
We're all big scifi fans [star trek, Joss Whedon..ect.] We make sure to watch Jeopardy almost every night. My sister reads comic books, my brother plays War Craft. In fact, I think I'm the least nerdy. :o

Phoenix
Uh...i think if you know them then its pretty obvious....listened to them for the last six months almost every day and I'm still not tired of it! <3

Vampire Weekend
Not digging the new album, probably because I'm listening to it in the rain which soooo doesn't fit them. Vampire Weeked=summer.

Belle and Sebastian
To cool things down at sunset.

The Flaming Lips
What kindof musical festival doesn't have the flaming lips? I'll tell you, a lauhame one!

Airborne Toxic Event
They're one of the newer finds, so I'll cut them a break.

Temper Trap
Oh I would love to hear Sweet Disposition in the summer night! *sigh*

Sufjan Stevens
He would make a come back just for GOAT.

Andrew Bird
A must.

Bon Iver + Blind Pilot
Just because I didn't want to many artists, I included these two as one.

Monsters of Folk
Hah! That's convenient!

Johnossi
Totally underrated!

The Band
'Cuz we have to ressurect somebody!

oh Laughlin, how I loved thee? Let me count the ways:
1. you're cheaper than vegas but with the same aesthetic
2. the warm weather
3. the gorgeous lakes
4. the buffets and in-n-out and arcades (not old enough to gamble just yet)
5. movie theatre inside the hotels
6. room service
7. shopping
8. the only people that come here (mostly) are polite, retired old couples.
but mosly what i do at laughlin involves #3. just lie on the beach and enjoy the sun. *sigh* I feel relaxed just thinking about it.

Eggs
Eggs are probably my favorite food of all time. They can be cooked in so many ways and mixed in all kinds of ingredients. And no matter what, they're always yummy. And this all might be a problem when I go vegan.

Tortilla
Probably one of the most mexican things about me. My house is never without a tortilla. Seriously. I can't eat eggs without it. Prepostorous! (sp?)

Fruit
mmm...strawberries.

Hashbrowns
Potatoes are a lot like egss that they can be made different ways. But hashbrowns are my favorite way. slightly burnt. with a pinch of salt. yum.

Chorizo (soy)
Chorizo is also good with some eggs. I recently found soy chorizo, it takes exactly the same. seriously, its delciious. don't buy that soyrizo cheap american stuff. the only good fake chorizo comes from the mexican markets. i like to think that its actually meat and they're just tricking me.

I am determined to miss less school. This last semester I missed about three days per class. Sometimes out of pure laziness. And I think I should stay longer or earlier to study or something. Cuz man my GPA is laggn'! Stupid skool.

oh man so this place gives you tons of food and all i asked for was a bowl of tofu soup! you get the soup with loads of seaweed. im sure there's an asian term for seaweed but whatever. and you get fried fish. they're tiny and whole. like the whole fish. just with the eyes taken out. i didn't touch those. and you get a huge bowl of rice just for yourself. some other stuff that i didn't know what it was but there was a lot of it. and an egg to put in your soup. its a lot of food.

Puppy Bookends

A Kabillion cats and dogs are euthenized each year in pounds across the nation. But cats deserve it [JK!], so I say get a dog from the pound. Doesn't matter which one. I just hate the idea of killing animals because we simply have to many. Stop the useless breeding and puppy mills! Save an animal friend.

"You can't always judge a taqueria by its exterior." HAH! that's what it is. It's surrounded by rabid dogs and homeless people. It's just a stand so there is no running water and thus the people handling the food don't washt their hands or the veggies. But it is delicious! Too bad I turned vegetarian. I miss my taquitos. I used to put that lime candy stuff I think it was called Lucas. It was like salt but a lot more sour. MmmMMMmm. Then there was the whole lead poisoning scandal. Ignorance is bliss. :(

All I have to do is look out the front window to see what's going on. Well actually I speculate what's going on and then [contradictally..is that word] my dad is sent to confirm. He drinks beer with the other guys on the block. Kinda like King of the Hill but without southern accents and more..ethnic?

my holey jeans
they're really comfy and go with everything...sort of.

my holey converse
i've had them since junior high so...seven yearsish. they have holes. one big one on the toe. you can actually see my sock so i have to wear black otherwise its embarassing. i get compliments on their unique color. a dark brown color. they used to be black. wow my shoes sound kinda gross. but i think they're cool...

my falling apart textbooks
so technically not clothing but books are a part of my enesemble. i have a shakespeare text i carry that is literally falling apart. the cover came off and now the pages are slowly being torn away.

Any old weed will do

When I was a kid my dad told me and my siblings that the weeds in our planter were tasty. He even ate one right in front of us. So we grabbed a bunch, rinsed them under the sink and started chewing at the stems. They were actually pretty good. Kinda sweet. watery. my mom found us and freaked out. my dad just wanted us to help him out in the yard. since then i've taken a liking to weeds. they're actually very pretty. the yellow ones are anyway. i ono what the big deal is...why everybody wants to get rid of them. I guess i don't know much about plants.

Avocado Tree

My magic tree grows....wait for it....wait....its gonna be awesome, i promise....my tree is gonna grow.....avocados. I'm just really dying for some avocados right now. You can pretty much eat it with anything and it will taste awesome. seriously. ok fine. so it's a magical tree right? well then it always grows perfectly ripe avocados in no time! hah, magic!

Answer: I've always wanted to go to the Ripley's Believe it or not museum. I'm quite fascinated by strange things and I love museums! And I've lived less than a mile away from it but have never gone. And it closed about a year ago. :( Never went to the wax museum either. man, i suck.

Not Answer but fun digression:
The map is actually a view over an amusement park that I live a stone's throw from. Quite literally. It's not disneyland, but I believe this amusement park is pretty popular. At least in CA. It's fun living next to it. The fireworks are amazing to see from my balcony. The traffic can suck at times. Especially around Halloween [hint hint] but it also makes life exciting. It just so happens that during statewide testing when I was in first grade [my elementary school is even closer to the park than my house...its on the map!] the amusement park allowed entrance for a nickle in honor of cinco de mayo. and the whole city went crazy. people were climing the gates. parking at our school. right in the middle of testing they had to close my school for the day because people were going insane, parking all over the street. nickles flying everywhere. it was so much fun. but yeah no wonder CA is now the 48th or 49th state with the best education. needless to say the whole "get in for a nickle" event never happened again.

I like buying music at Amoeba but I hate fighting traffic for two hours.

bookmark

So i work at a library and sometimes i find really nice bookmarks or good coupons. once i even found a dollar. [inside books obviously] and i always debate whether to put them in lost and found or keep them. most of the time i keep them. and i feel bad because a few of the bookmarks are souveniers. i have one from yellowstone, one from england..ect. im going to hell.

Cucumber sandwiches
I was...ten or eleven and it was for GATE (gifted and talented education aka the nerd group). the girls in the group had a tea party. we all dressed up like old ladies and ate cucumber sandwiches. they were really good. i asked my mom to make some afterwards but she refused. i think that is partly why i resent her...wow. revelation.
