Chain Letter

I can't believe it. Seriously. Out of this whole huge vast city, it had to be today at the same street, at the same time. Well,...it all started when i went to class to take a midterm exam (they're still not over) and i was studying in the class just like the rest. Everyone walked in and took out their notes, exchanged information, or otherwise kept to themselves while daydreaming out the window. I ended up quizzing some bimbos that i just really CAN'T believe how slow they can get. Its a boy and girl that i think should really get together. One doesn't know anything while the other is just a copy machine and just doesn't understand what she just wrote. Its aggravating that she copies every single note but just doesn't comprehend any of it all. ( i saw her midterm essay and it was basically plagiarized word for word. She got lucky enough to remember to put the sources she got it off from.The girl has no brain except to just mindless memorize) If i were the professor, i'd just fail her. No joke. I wouldn't be able to stand reading something you just took off the book. (What the heck HAS she learned?). Before the exam has started, i received a chain letter text from my cousin. It was the one where "if you pass it on to 10 people, you'll get luck for the rest of the day!" thing. I thanked my cousin in my mind, and did it. Its just a stupid chain letter...right? I needed all the luck and help i could get for the test. Even Magali rubbed my brain =P. After the exam, i talked to Jason for awhile and left off to find Pedro since i left my class a few minutes early. Recently i've been talking to a sort of new friend from Myspace and he was happy enough to give me a pic of himself. I showed it to Pedro and got his approval by giving me 1 thumb up. It was raining, so we both shared an umbrella to walk under. He was very well dressed up for job training; he looked pretty sharp. As we kept walking towards his future job, people were scrambling everywhere to get out of the rain. My attention automatically went towards a person wearing a black hoodie with dark clothes. For a complete split second i saw him. I wasn't sure if it was really him, and i kept denying it in my head but i couldn't and wouldn't believe it. He completely took off his hood and stared as i looked at him with shock and confusion. His gaze was appalling. It felt like time has frozen..everything moved slowly,but in reality the world kept turning, people kept going and the rain kept pouring. Even Pedro turned towards his direction, all of us having a face-off. As we passed him by, we both looked at each other. I was really confused, yet soo certain. But Pedro was annoyed and curious as to why he glared at us. My friend from Myspace, Junior, had just walked passed me. I still can't believe it. I sort of felt bad that i didn't say anything, but at the same time i felt very awkward seeing him in person. I text the boy, and got a response that he took a sick day today. He says that he wasn't at downtown in the rain, but Pedro agrees that what we both saw was undeniable.

My Gothic Lolita

I've started sketching out my doll creation. It looks fantastic...i'm in love with it so much. It took me a lot of time and work to find the research for the perfect outfit that my doll would wear, but i finally made one. I'll eventually post a pic of her as soon as i get my scanner started again. For starters, i've decided to make it based on the popular trend in Japan, Gothic Lolita. I heard the sad story from an artist about what it really stands for. It turns out that Lolita was written by an old pedophile from Russia that would fantasize about victorian little girls. In the song she questions was it her fault that she was raped?..was it her lacy dress? her cute candy coated face? All she knows is that she is dead and nothing could be done about it. It was really morose and beautiful. Even though there's a dreadful past to the fashion, its still very attractive to the public and myself. What has inspired me to actually consider to make one? I guess its the work i've been helping out with for the Halloween costume..the book that L has given me to choose a hairstyle for based on the style..and the dolls that Ms. Amane has in her room from Death Note. I'm slightly afraid of it lol, but that's not going to stop me from going through with it =). Of course, Magali's going to start on one as well and i'm still wondering what hers will be about. I know she's given me hints...i'll have to pressure more haha =). (DISCLAIMER: That's NOT my sketch)

Philosophical Controversies

These essays have made me go crazy, but i managed to get three of them done. I don't understand what my philosophy professor would actually want or consider as being passable to him. First of all the old man is NOT a major in the subject, so he' s winging it. He's doing what Lois Griffin did when she was teaching piano to children. Always reading 2 chapters ahead before the students. I know i have told everyone about this, but his habit is "my way, or the highway". I know its supposed to be like that since he's the teacher, but his demands are too...perfectionist? He won't accept any definition to define a word unless its his own or the book's. He compared mine to "street talk". I only simplify the term, but i still use good verb tenses to describe it and it just gets crossed out with a red pen saying NO. Partial credit is given if i remember some of the definition's dictionary version. Maybe i should brainlessly memorize them so i could just write them out. No thoughts or ideas, just pure memorization. Its the only way i'll pass. A girl next to me could have gotten an "A" on her midterm, but all her points were taken off because of her poor spelling. She ended up with the same grade i got. I'll see what happens...i'm just going to study harder than i already was. I know i'm stubborn and i probably won't accept some things because they seem too crazy for me to handle. But i see this as a competition between power levels...i remember my struggle with Ms. Robinson's rules as well. She made us buy a book, re-write the sentences in them and highlight the words. It was freakin' pointless. WHY would you do such a thing? We bought the books so that we could WRITE in them. Her excuse was that it would prevent people from copying one another, and she didn't want to carry a whole library's worth of books to her car. I understood that, but why didn't she instead gave us the words to write sentences with and we could have all saved the trouble and our own pocket money from doing such a stupid thing? The old woman spent the whole class period babbling on and on about her life anyway...i didn't learn much. Insane people becoming teachers...by the way the old woman got fired after i graduated. How fortunate of the new seniors. Things will change in time.

University Lifestyle of a Student

I'm sooo tired...i just want to curl up in bed and go into a deep sleep. Today i had no plans...but someone decided what i should do today for me. Pedro found me while i was waiting for the elevators (more like he texted me4 times before i got a chance to respond) and i was debating what i should do. He told me he didn't want to go home yet, so i asked him what HE wanted to do. We both ended up at UIC to make a payment for the opera Wicked. I've walked by the place a couple of times...but i've never really had the chance to explore within it. It felt like i was walking at a local fancy park...yet full of museum-looking buildings. We went inside one and according to him, we were looking for the "Rainbow Room". I thought it was some sort of artsy place...or just a hangout that had an inside joke. It turns out that its a gender and sex organization. Their office was actually quite comfy...yet still professional looking. Scattered papers and a wooden round table with colorful chairs are there...one was occupied by Pedro's friend Tifanny. She's a really sweet and funny girl that always played around and had fun times with Pedro. Both of them showed me around the campus, pointing out to things i've never seen before and talking to strange weird friends. It felt really unusual seeing alot of students walking around to random places. I know i should've gotten used to it since my school is at a city, but it just seemed so awkward seeing alot of people at one place with a park theme going on. We eventually got something to eat and went straight to her dormitory. I felt like i was at a hotel, with hallways of doors. Doors that lead to bathrooms and storage closets, deadends, staircases, and doors that lead to more rooms, and within those more rooms. When we got to her room, it was really awesome...she shared it with a roommate of course, but she wasn't there. Their window is really huge, the size of a wall that looks out to the city. They each had their own bed, desk, and closet which was pretty sweet. It was kind of hilarious finding their food on the top shelf. Her room was also shared with 3 other rooms which makes 8 people sharing one mirror and bathroom. I would've loved to personally take a picture of her dorm but it would've been too rude. Every single person's area was really messy which really fascinated me =). Just finding random stuff said alot about their personality and their majors. I think i'm really going to like attending a University...overall its a completely new and different environment. They all had something in common though...they all were living a freakin good life! Also all the rooms shared a tiny living room that they could all relax in as shown below.

Multiple Midterm Memoirs...

(LOL @ title) I'm loaded with midterm exams and have to complete 6 different essays between these two weeks. SIX people! I can only count down the days left until the deadlines are met. Its extremely crucial that i stay on top of my game if i want to pass all of my classes. First of all, KUDOS to Magali for helping me (more like doing it for me) get rid of some holes from my pants! I really appreciate it and i'm looking forward to working together to make our dolls =). I also found out about my blue eyes true name. His REAL name is Jason...although i still need to figure out his last. He came really late today but when he walked in he looked more kept to himself than usual. I got a quick glance of his face and i noticed he had gotten glasses. How come i didn't notice this before? Or maybe he was wearing contacts instead of them...i hope his eyes are really his natural color. He was always bold and spoke out in class, but today he just stayed silent and occasionally looked up when he had to write something from the board. Sometimes i wonder if he knows what i'm thinking...he sometimes freaks me out with his statements. Its as if we both were thinking the same thing, at the same time...

Dark, Elegant, and Beautiful

Its getting so cold! All i have done is stay home and wash..clean...and cook a little since my grandmother helped. I've been looking for new ideas and designs that would help me and L get our stuff together for the 31st. We are really close to being done, but we need more...more originality, rarity, and a lot of inspirational things to help us. I won't post any details yet as to how the design looks, but the basic colors and fabric we have used are: silver, navy blue, white, and lots and lots of lace! strings of pearl beads, and a rosary. L's costume is pretty much done, but she's been obsessing over the right buttons to use on her suit. That hardworking "L"ady also needs a top hat...and i pray she doesn't use a pimp cane. (I'll make sure to break it ha ha) We need and have a few accessories, but we're looking for rarer ones, not common things we find everywhere. Mostly homemade, we're looking in every direction, researching everything, and following guidelines on how getting stuff done from scratch. Makeup and hairstyles are included since both of us clash on our different tastes. We're not too different, but we're able to compromise. Our ending result might end up something like this photo (NOTE: this is NOT it). New, Confident, Edgy, and above all a Classic look.

Blue Eyes

My feet hurt...but it was really damn well worth it. I think. Cool and breezy weather has surrounded our city, the sign of autumn. I only have on class on Wednesdays, but it recently has become my favorite. Of course, i have been meeting new people and talked to some of the old ones from the past. I've also been crushing on A LOT of people lately...is that wrong? Maybe. But its nice to daydream now and then. This one i call Blue Eyes, since that's what attracted me the most. I know its a shallow and superficial trait to pay attention to, but at least its a common "nice" one compared to paying attention to other physical traits. I don't know his name...yet. But i do know that he's 24 and planning to go to the University In Chicago next semester. After that eventful scenario, i went with L to see a Halloween store located in downtown. It wasn't pretty good, but it did have a few useful things. I found this interesting face mask that might be a part of my costume though...it might not match the blue coat completely, but i still like the design.
