prop 8 overturned and the arizona issue frozen

So maybe there is hope afterall?

First of all, Prop 8, I can't believe you were even an issue! I can't believe people ACTUALLY think it's ok to tell someone who they can and can't marry. Like, I understand there are people with different religious beliefs on what they believe is right or wrong, but THINK ABOUT IT LEGALLY. You just can't do that! I seriously am flabbergasted this was even an issue to discuss. Why is America so damn homophobic? Get over it.

And secondly, the Arizona issue... seriously I can't even get into that or I'll get super mad.

Anyway, solamente falta 3 dias hasta Guanajuato! I am so excited to finally be returning! I guess Geras' friends Iram and Rafa that I met in Tampico are going to drive and pick me up from the Airport so I don't have to pay a taxi. That's seriously so helpful and stress reliving. :) yay! We are going Saturday to Leon to visit Geras' sister and her family. I am excited, as we are going to stay the night there and enjoy dinner and such. I think Iram and Rafa might be coming with us! It'll be fun none-the-less. I told Geras that I wanted to go to the hot springs, but we'll see if we ever get around to doing so. At least I get to see some other friends there as well. I guess Geras has become better friends with Arturo from the store, which is sort of creepy, but he gives him free toilet paper so Geras likes it. Haha

I got a purple blackberry since the last time I posted on here. It's pretty fantastic. I wonder if there is a blogger application on there so that I can post directly from the phone. That would be awesome, although I suppose I could just use my internet browser to do that. I like all the applications, and the BBM is pretty cool although I don't think I understand all of it completely.

I am still lusting over the Marc Jacobs watch. If I make good money this week, I'll let myself get it.

welp

solamente falta 9 dias hasta Guanajuato!! :)

Anyway, life, what's new in it? Simple. Nothing.

Jourie got a tattoo and it looks super sweet. I don't think I could ever get a tattoo. I cry when I cut my hair one inch, let alone making a long change. Ugh, I am weird. I guess I will just stick with what I've got.

I have a problem with permanent change. Not just in the sense of a tattoo or anything, but in the sense of life. Leaving Mexico and coming back the states was hard because I had finally become used to and assimilated in society there. Having to readjust to the strenuousness of this country wasn't as easy for me as it was for my fellow classmates. Also, I have a problem when people change. I don't like this whole growing up thing. I miss my friends from High School, but sometimes can't help but feel so disconnected, as if I don't know them anymore. Is that weird? I just don't like moving on I guess. But not all changes are bad. I know that. I understand. And it's not like I am going to avoid change. I know its normal and often necessary, but that doesn't mean I have to love it, right? Right.

My hair is getting curlier by the minute. It's because I chopped it all off and dyed it, probably, but it is looking more and more like "wild child" hair with every morning I wake up. I'm surprised nobody has really said anything about it. I mean, they've said stuff about the color, but never the ever changing natural style and body. My thin ass hair is getting thicker looking with ever unstructured curl that comes along. Woohoo!!

I went out on Saturday for my friend Brigette's birthday. Unfortunately, she was a little gone by the time I got there, so I didn't stay long. I got there late because I had to work beforehand. Oh well, I still had a good time.

Speaking of work, I am going to miss it. I love working in the Mexican restaurant. It's good money, the people are fun, and I like working with the customers that come. Win win WIN!

I just looked at some pictures of Chelsea Clinton. I don't care who you are, the girl is classy. I like how she lives in one of the most publicly scrutinized families, and yet remains so out of the public eye (for the most part). Her wedding photos are GORGEOUS and I am so jealous. Everyone keeps talking about all the money spent on the wedding, but to an extent (and yes, a small extent of the $40 mil spent) they had to. Who wants to be photo-bombed by paparazzi and the like on their big day. I was told that the guests didn't know where it was going to be held until an hour before, which intrigues me that much more.

Ever heard of being "iced"? Well, I think the whole concept is juvenile and stupid, yet absolutely AWESOME! You're supposed to let the person "stumble" upon the smirnoff ice and then they have to chug it when you come in and say "you've been iced". It's fantastic, right? ha.

I WANT:

the new Marc Jacobs fall collection in its entirety, please. Ughhh. I seriously have an obsession with Marc Jacobs. He just is so sheek, clean, and a little bit punk rebel on the side. I also love the daisy perfume of his, and wear it pretty much every day. It's clean and fresh, and doesn't make you smell like a small prostitute anytime someone gets a big whiff.

Anyway, I need to go shopping before Mexico. I need some nice cool outfits that are clean and classy but cool enough that I won't die in the heat. I am so excited to go back! Ah! I can't even wait!! Perhaps I'll get something from the Marc by Marc Jacobs line to take with? Ha.

I am also shopping around for a cool pair of motorcycle boots. I really want them because just by wearing them I can take whatever I happen to be wearing and make it a little more punk than it is already. I need to get out of this JCrew goodie goodie look I have going on in my closet right now. It's boring! I need more hippie. I need more rebel. I need to stop listening to so much Courtney Love is what I really need to do.

I wish I didn't have to work literally every second. I am going to work tonight for Sylvie and the on Sunday for her as well which means no relaxing nights for a few weeks. Is it bad that I just want to sit on the couch, watch some television and pass out? Ugh. In my dreams, huh? Hence why I can't wait to start back to school. Although the work load won't lighten up, I will get to see all my friends again. Working all the time kinda prohibits me from seeing my Powell-ites -- not like they're in town anyway. Meh.

Geras has a cell phone again. It sure did take him long enough. I can't explain how annoying it's been to not see him and to not be able to talk to him when I want to. Now I get to call him when I'm off work and he always makes the time to talk to me. That's the nicest part about him, I think. No matter what he's doing, he always gives me ten minutes if not a lot more.

I have really been missing my days in Mexico a lot lately. I think about my friends that I have there and that I made there and get kinda depressed. Also, the stress is a lot lower and the fun amounts are a lot higher. There's always something new to do and somewhere new to explore. I wanna travel the whole country for like two years and just GO places. I want to see the big cities and the small towns, both north and south. I want to know the difference between northern and southern cooking techniques not because I have tried the food, but because I have made it with the natives and seen the process. I also want to enjoy life while I'm young, because who knows, it might not last all that long.

But then there's also Europe! And Asia! And Africa! And Central/South America! And Canada (yes, I've still yet to go to Canada). I just wanna travel travel travel travel!!!

But to do so I need to be a billionaire... oh well.

soooooooo

I think I made a mistake last night. Knowing that I have to work for the next 12 days at night I stupidly decided to go hang out for German's birthday until 2:30 am before work the next day. Oh the life of a college student. All I have to say is that I am about to CRASH this week and I am not excited for that. I think the only thing that is keeping me awake is that I know I will be making money (hopefully a lot) that I can use in Mexico and save for later this year when I need it. I also need to make up a schedule for when I can work during the year at Vaquero's (see this blog really does help jog my memory).

I have my music on and that's pretty much the only thing keeping me awake right now. I am becoming more and more obsessed with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero's but I will always have my Enrique love to listen to when I need a little latin pop.

I literally am dozing off writing this blog post. This is going to be a rough week. Maybe I can sneak in a nap before work tonight? Probably not...

So I got into an argument with someone last night over Miley Cyrus. They said she had no talent, and while I don't think she's any sort of MESSIAH to the vocal music world, she is catchy and fun. And that's what Pop music is all about. Therefore, she's a Pop superstar, and deservingly so. The person, who I won't name, last night said she is worse than Britney/Christina and the likes... and that she doesn't deserve to be in the public eye. I sense a little bit of jealous, but ignoring that fact I will progress in my statements. Mileybird (as PerezHilton says) CAN'T BE TAMED. She's 17. She's horny. She's pretty. But most of all, she's dating a HOTTIE and is in the public eye literally every time she walks out of her house. Let her be! When I was 17 I am sure I did way worse things that people would have loved to scrutinize, the only difference --- no paparazzi to capture my fond moments. And, yes, I do think beneath the booty shorts and push-up bra's there is somewhat of a talent... or at least ambition... that translates to the superstardom she enjoys currently. Viva la Miley!

Mexico!!! Please come sooner!!!

the columbus zoo is great

No really, it is. Ranked as one of the top 3 in the nation, of course it is! I went yesterday with my family and had a blast. The new polar bear exhibit is literally insane. Upstairs you can see them outside sitting in the sun, but the coolest part is the downstairs. You are underneath the water and get to see them swimming up above you. The best part was we saw them during their feeding time. I watch a polar bear jump above me and catch a fish. It was awesome!

But yeah, after that we went to the other exhibits. We saw a parakeet exhibit where you can bring a cup of nectar and they'll fly on you. I thought it'd be cool, until they started flying all over me and licking my neck. Then I stopped being so into it. It really freaked me out actually.

You can't really tell in the photo that there were tons all down my arm, but there were.

Nonetheless the zoo was a success.

Last Friday I also went out with the people from work for Juan's birthday celebration. We went to a fun dance club, where I passed through the "Latin Dance Room" and the "American Club Mix Dance Room" multiple times. It was a lot of fun.

I can't even wait to go to Mexico, but sadly that means the end of summer. Oh well, I am pretty excited to go back to school and start senior year for the last time!!! I can't believe I am in my last year of school though. It seems like just yesterday that I was entering college. Now I'm leaving it?! What has the world come to?! Oh well, law school ap's here I come!!!

so now

I am going back to Mexico the 12th through the 21st of August! Yay!! I am excited to see everyone there, although there's probably going to be a lot of people I'll miss just by lack of planning my time (as usual) and mere apathy. However, Jack just so happens to be going back the same week I am!!! Now only if we could get Jourie to come down, but the lucky biatch was there all last semester sooooooo... idk. Anyway, I am going to see my family FOR SURE and hang out with Geras as a def.... and I have to see Caro -- hopefully she's not in D.F. and will come to GTO to hang out with meeee :) AH! I am super super super SUPER excited!! I just bought my ticket and bought it in a way so that I can maximize my time there. My flight leaves CBUS at 6:20am and then I come back at 3:50pm the day before I need to be at OWU. woohoooo!!!

Ok, anyway. This Friday is one of my co-workers (Juan) birthday and we are going to a dance club in Columbus to celebrate. I bought this tight red dress that I have been wanting to wear for god knows HOW long, and I plan to wear it there. We'll see. It's all salads and watermelon from here on out... aka one day. Great planning Sarah. Well at least maybe I can lay out after work and get semi-tan. That might help the situation. Probably not...

I've become obsessed with watches lately. Like, I notice them WAY more than I ever did before. I think it's because my mom just bought the one that Sandra Bullock wears in the blindside (well, one like it. She didn't buy the $20,000 Chanel one she was ACTUALLY wearing). Therefore, with Moms new purchase I gained her old watch which I have drooled over for God knows how long. I keep going into stores and noticing their watch collection. Is it obsession? Yes. Should I buy another watch? No. Will I? No. I need to refrain. I'm going to be in Leon, GTO and we allllllllll know I can't resist a good pair of shoes. Lets be honest.

Working this summer has been enjoyable. I have learned a lot from both jobs, mainly more about the Hispanic population in Columbus. I also really like the fact that I can use my Spanish all the time. I feel myself getting better and better each day (with a few minor grammatical things to fix). I definitely don't have any problem arguing my point quickly or having a conversation, it's just sometimes I wish I knew the ACTUAL word off the top of my head instead of trying to describe my way around it. Oh well, whatever.

So I have recently taken a new liking to my twitter account. Maybe it's the fact that I stare at a computer screen FOREVER or maybe it's the fact that I am not texting as much. Maybe the end result is a combination of the two. Nevertheless, I am twittering like nobody's business (well, like one or two a day... but for me thats a lot!).

I can't believe this whole Lindsay Lohan thing going on right now. Did she REALLY think it was ok to write "fuck you" on her nails for the court room. IDIOT! And now she thinks she can get out of her jail sentance, which is ridiculous. Girl, you had more chances than the average joe would have, and you deserve everything you're about to get. Trust me, I'm a hugeeeee fan, but I know when wrong is wrong!

And Enrique Iglesias has a new CD with beautiful promotional pictures and interviews and magazine covers and pictures of his beautiful face and beautiful body and wonderful voice and... oh I got sidetracked. Well, on that note, peace!

long time no post

I haven't had the time nor the energy to post on this blog for a long time, so here are my "welcome back announcements".

I have decided what I am going to do in terms of school next year (and post-graduation life). I plan to apply to law school, take the LSAT, and try my best to get into the best possible school I can. Among this list is a lofty U.C.-Berkeley and Michigan Law Schools. I also plan to apply to "lower-tier" schools and just make sure I can get into them. If I don't get accepted into a top notch law school, I am going to teach in Mexico for one year so I have something else to put on an application. I can either try again, or defer one of the offers I plan to have. Now, if I don't get accepted ANYWHERE, well, it was a waste of time and I'll just go be poor in Mexico where I belong :)

So, yeah, that's the plan as of now.

This past weekend my Credit/Debit Card number was stolen and a large sum of money was taken from my account and used. They bought stuff from "Microsoft *X" and stuff from some gadget store in New York. We will see if I can get my money back on those items.

I did however spend even more money this weekend. I went to Urban Outfitters, bought a red dress, a tan cardigan (typical), and a new fedora hat. I also bought a headband at Forever21 and a new thing of eye shadow (THAT SUCKS!). I then proceeded to buy my bedspread at Anthropologie for my new house. Gonna make it sweet with some tea-lights and brightly colored, worldly things. I love Anthropologie in every way, because their stuff is classic, well made, and is totally my style. I should probably get a job there, huh? It might save me some money in the long run!

This past Friday was also Geras' birthday. I am very sad I couldn't have been there to celebrate with him, but he stayed with his sister, and I believe had a good time. Saturday night he hung out with some friends, so I think it was a successful weekend. This weekend I had a lot of fun, went dancing, and just kind of relaxed. Yesterday I went to Comfest with my family, which was a good time. I still need to paint my room and get my house set up in Delaware, but that'll have to come later I suppose.

Oh well, end of story time.

BONNAROO 2010 + more

So a lot has happened since I last posted on here. I went to the 2010 Bonnaroo in Manchester, TN for my fourth Bonnaroo in a row. It was awesome. I got to see Jay-Z give an awesome performance, and seeing Stevie Wonder live is something I will probably never forget. The Flaming Lips were also awesome. They had this screen behind them that projected the lead singers head like as if it were in that fishbowl framing. It was hilarious. You could def. tell he was on some sort of drugs. I also saw Edward Sharpe, Mexican Institute of Sound, John Fogerty, Dave Matthews Band, Norah Jones, was third row center for Aziz Ansari's comedy act, and got to see the phenom known as Gwar. If you don't know what this is, look it up. It's so weird. They're these alien robot things that dress up and talk in weird voices, shooting "blood and other bodily fluids" into the MOSH pit of an audience. Its metal music, but was definitely an experience. We parked sooooo far away. It was a blast though, I had a lot of fun. It was such a drive, and I did all of it while everyone else slept. Good times though. There was a lot less Fuck Kanye and a lot more "butt-scratcher" everywhere being said. Haha.

Right now I am trying to figure out what to do after college. I think I want to go teach abroad, and specifically in Mexico. I would like to be in Guanajuato again, but we'll see if the parentals will allow that to happen. They are, after all, in charge somewhat. Unfortunately. But I don't think I want to go to law school RIGHT away. I need at least one year to relax and do something else for a little while.

Anyway, thats pretty much what's up with me. I have to go to my other job.

:)

I gave up on the PRO/CON stuff.
