Once upon a time there was a furry kitten named Retard, which in cat language means, "he who is smart." His mother thought the name would be good luck seeing as his father was named Intelligent, which means, "dumb creature" and he was just that- a dumb creature. And that, boys and girls, is how we discovered doughnuts. |

*mindblown*
It's a while past when I generally like to sleep, but I keep thinking about a concept one of my books opened my mind to. (Besides, I'm not finished eating my Russian foods yet! Finishing gradually.) I just never considered the letters in maths as part of an alphabet before, just like one of my languages. I should have known this much earlier! Having met the mathematician I so frequently mention through Latin. Hey: amo, amas, amat that, y'know? Plural for giggles: amamus, amatis, amant. Now my Obligatory Latin Moment has passed. (xD Magister McCann had a Latin Moment part of class some days! It was full of awesome.) ( Read more... ) Current Mood:  amazed |

Today's Story! Setting: NE Philly :D
Today I went to the Russian market in Northeast Philadelphia! I got both mother and me lost, but then we stopped in a McDonald's and got re-oriented there. (Thanks to the SEPTA lady. w00t SEPTA! How useful! Not just for having characters run over.) I don't tend to pick McDonald's for its fine dining due to the headache possibility, but it works. I could not find my Bell's Market card (=.=) but I was still able to use the discount since I had used the home phone number when signing up and it was under that one in the computer. (I fretted over whether I could have possibly used my cell. But, no!) When I got home, it also happened to be a Russian friend's birthday, as I found on FB, so hooray! Claire knows people and their days of birth! Just a weekish until my own sibling's birthday. No, in fact, 5 more days! What should I do for it? I am thinking of drawing her something amazing. Oh, by the way, I keep noticing my head defaults to a slanted position. That would explain my constant neck pains. Current Mood:  sleepy |

Frost Art Museum - Florida International University - Miami
I went to an art museum at FIU yesterday which I was pleased to learn was free to the public. Some of the art was very interesting...some others I just didn't get. I don't like to bash modern art because I understand the idea of speaking through metaphors rather than being confined to technique...however some of it looked like a 2 year old could do with no explanation whatsoever. Those pieces of modern art that did have explanation and I could identify the figurative art (so to speak) were fine and well done. Others sounded like a a bunch of big words thrown together like "metaphysics and the inner being". I have studied metaphysics and nothing about some of those pieces said anything about the study of being much less any other concepts from that branch of philosophy. Also, having an entire art exhibit called "Because I Say So" is already a red flag. There were literally pieces of paper glued onto a wall that were being called art. And an amplifier in the middle of the room was being called an art piece. WTF? Anyway, I took some pictures with my camera phone of some of the things I found interesting (even if it looked a like a clown barfed). I don't remember the explanations for all of them so I may have made up a couple.    Ok the above exhibit I actually really enjoyed. It was a by a local Colombian born artist named Nancy Friedemann. A lot of her work is enamel on mylar. She may actually serve as the inspiration for the bookshelf I'm painting for my room.  A fire hydrant that had a seizure.  This one was kind of disturbing. It was an authentic KKK garment with stiches of mexican designs all over it. It was called "Reconquista" or "Reconquer". Is the artist trying to say white people are being conquered by Mexicans? Is he saying Mexicans are the new Klu Klux Klan? Is he saying white people have to accept Mexicans because they are getting even for the whole Conquistador deal? Is he saying Americans are no longer white? Is this another insulting attempt at being bi-cultural like that time Pitbul and a bunch of other Latin musicians decided to write a Spanish version of the American national anthem? I have no idea. However, I am Latin American and either way the it is spun I think I'm insulted.  My brother and I like to call this one chutes and ladders on crack.  A giant a cube of pins. Seriously.    I also really enjoyed all the art work from around the world donated by several philanthropists. I eat Asian stuff up. So that was only a taste of everything I saw. Thoughts? Ideas? Interpretations? Anyone want to shed some light on the cube o' pins? |

Should I drop?
It's really discomforting, but I'm doing so poorly in the precalculus course (by the two Sucky Test Scores), that even though it's way past the add/drop period, Liane put the idea in my head of just dropping Pre-Calculus this second time. I know I'm going to struggle to pass, at this point, looking at my unbelievably bad scores so far. I don't like working so hard for so little. ... Trying not to vomit. Trying to hit the "post to claire_chan" button. If you see this, then I got over it and did it. Later Edit: I'm just sitting in with the rest of the class, and will retake it in the fall when I have time to digest the subject. I do want this course (and the next ones after it!). I just have such trouble digesting it so quickly. It seems I sound intelligent enough to be so welcome in the course still. (I don't trust that I'll graduate anytime soon, but I should eventually graduate.) I'll get around to editing my courses for the fall. Current Mood:  very illCurrent Music: Do ti la ti do ti la ti do! Sol, do! Piano exercises |

Disinclination to Do Anything
I know I've got to buckle down and make myself calculate for that precalculus. I apparently have not lately, looking at the fail-wtf grades I have on my two tests, even if I really enjoy learning ax^junk. It's so ridiculous! How can I possibly love a subject without doing unbelievably well in it? "Apparently," part of me interjects with a Yamazaki-styled finger in the air, "just as you have been doing the past couple weeks." It's embarrassing, but I really need to work on my computational skillz. I was told (by my father) I used to be able to do a lot of amazing things in my head, but then I had a car accident. He suggested to me a video game we have, Big Brain Academy. Probably a good idea. I think after I finish my rice. Depending on whether Victoria's watching anything on the television. I got rid of the television in my bedroom for a scanner/printer. The Wii was never hooked up to that television, though. Just at one point the N64 and Gamecube. Oh, WTF with the new Detect option? Oh, it did figure out exactly where I am! Maybe when I post elsewhere, it will be interesting. (The current only other place I post from is, upon occasion, the university. Which, don't you know? Is West Chester. The best chester) Current Mood:  blah |

If I'm doing so suckily in Pre-Calculus...
What makes me think Physics is going to be so much better? Should I really shoot for the same kind of Physics my parents took, the non-mathematical sort? Or should I really just cling to English and my oboe? Shall publicise after I have the story of What Happens in my class. I have a test today. I do not like the plebeians also taking Pre-Calculus. I don't know what they really look like since I pick the front centre seat every time. ( I would give myself a 0%~ )*Tricky Dicky peace signs* :D Excitingly, the new subject of study shall be the unit circle! I originally strongly rejected Finsel's suggestion to frame a unit circle to put on our bedroom walls; in fact, that memory was for months the only sign I had that I in fact originally had taken Pre-Calculus. I had indeed ripped all of my papers up upon mother's suggestion. Current Mood:  depressed |

Finally. Fucking. Finished.
"Because where we are we won't always be & shit man, that could be me - getting hurt, hurting someone, getting all crashed down upon - burning holes in butterfly's wings while wishing, just wishing for other things"It's been three years in the making, but it's finally done! Sleeps With Ghosts #1 is a collection of thoughts, images, and poems spanning my life since 2006, shortly after returning from Kenya. It deals with trying to get out there in the world and figuring out how to make life live-able, falling down and getting back up again. I like a full-looking zine, so as a result my zines are usually full to the brim of text and pictures, and this is no exception. This zine is $3+S&H or trade The first printing is about halfway gone already, but there will be more, so please email me if interested! sleepswthghosts[at]yahoo[dot]ca |

Hmm...
I've gone from 3 friends to 10. Just noticed, my social-o-meter buzzed, and I realized (With a fair amount of shock) that I had somehow gotten over my Big-Bad-Fandom-Goers stage and on to the next stage to being internet friendly. The stage is, of course, friendly :O So, I just thought i'd say hi. I sound like a dork, right? Good, cause I am one 8-) Hi.
Now i'm going to potter off and read more fic. Potter's a good word even when not related to the fandom, I should use it more often in non-fandom related posts... Current Mood:  cheerfulCurrent Music: Trouble- Never Shout Never |

Comment that I left on a friend's journal.
So, a friend of mine wanted to go to this Twilight Convention to like.. crash it and shit. But it turns out that it is like, $255 a person and then like, $500 for a room... so she was wondering why the price was so high.
Here is what I said:
That would be really funny to crash it. When it comes to the money, here are my thoughts. I ALWAYS thought S.Meyer was a bitch. I looked at the picture of her on the back cover of the book and I said, "Wow. She looks like a total bitch."
I'm also sure that she gets a lot of hate mail, but then, what person in the public eye doesn't?
But.. here is what I think is really going down: They need to charge a lot, because they know that there won't be a lot of people going. Because the novels suck and because most of the people that are into the novels don't have cars because they are fucking 12. These 12 year olds are also lazy and don't do their chores, so their parents won't drive them. The only people that will be able to go will be those people that epically fail at life so bad that they would actually go and want to meet someone from the movie who isn't famous because she played a slut in a wonderful film called THIRTEEN.
Anyway, the thing is... there will be only like 50 people that really show up. So they are hiking up the price because they need to pay for something. Something very special....
There is a lab in Iowa that insists that it can turn people into vampires. Right now you can really only choose between two types of vampire: Nosferatu and Twilight. (Beta testing is currently being done for the Blade vampires and the Underworld vampires.. Dracula is still in Alpha because there have been SO MANY FUCKING INCARNATIONS OF THAT MOTHERFUCKER!)
Anyway... The plan is to raise up enough money to turn that Pattinson guy into.. YOU GUESSED IT... AN HONEST TO GOD REAL FUCKING OMG TWILIGHT VAMPIRE!
They expect it to entice those who think the novels suck and shit.. to give them a chance. Thus, generating a new and improved larger fanbase so that next year.. they don't have to charge that fucking much. I just thought that it was like... really funny.. and I wanted to share it with you GUYZ. Current Mood:  creativeCurrent Music: silence |

An update
I just wanted to come in here really quick and give a short update. The 2009 NFB convention was super awesome, (I plan to do a post of its own on that later), and I was sad to see it come to an end. Good times with good friends plus all of the things I learned and was inspired by. It was awesome hanging out with old friends and meeting new ones - you know who you are. Just...wow! I am now currently in Philly, helping out with a day camp for blind children for the next two weeks. Instead of last year where we mentors were assigned activities, this year we're assigned a student each, and we follow that one person through the camp day. I am a huge fan of this approach as opposed to the other one. I'm having a lot of fun doing what I'm doing. Tomorrow with said camp we're going to the beach. I am not exactly thrilled with this prospect as Liz + beach = massive sunburn, usually anyway, and it isn't always helped with sunscrene, either. I'll hopefully come out unscathed, or at least not too terribly so. I have no clue why I have a strong aversion to the sun, but so it goes. Can one be alergic to it? Haha! Kidding...kind of. I'm also not too much of a fan of getting all sandy/salty/wet. Perhaps I outgrew the beach, I don't know, at least in that respect. Late night and early morning walks on the beach, however, are a whole different story altogether. As for other things of significance, I'm not too sure. I haven't fully recovered from convention, and going straight into camp afterwords has completely thrown my sleep schedule off. The frequent headaches I've been getting for the past week now are probably not a good thing, either. No idea. When I'm tired I can't sleep, and when I'm seemingly not tired is when I have time to. Confusing much? I'll be okay. I'm off to try and sleep sometime soon, more later. Current Mood:  okay |

HOME SWEET HOME
I am finally home! School is over! Although I must say I had an amazing last night in Naples partying out on the beach for 4th of July :)  But now I am home and have reaffirmed my love for Miami. The city where Cuban coffee is 85 cents, you can walk on South Beach with a drink in your hand, and there are clubs, tattoo shops, and art exhibits on every corner :) Kathy and Dom came to visit me and I showed them how amazing my home is. 
At Mojitos on Espanola Way in South Beach.
( More Pictures from Kathy and Dom's visit )
I want to travel the world someday but I don't think there will ever be any place quite like home. Current Mood: nostalgicCurrent Music: my brother playing the guitar |
