Curiousa:
Very very fabulous!
interpol was fantastic!
by the time the cure went on, i was exhausted.
It took so long to drive there with all the traffic!

when kelsy and I went to pick up anne, anne did the most anne thing ever..hehe
It was soo funny...we were pulling up to her house, and she is leaving in her car with her mom. she yells, "i'm going to the bank. wait for me." so anne....

then we got in n out.. yummy
but i majorly annoyed the peoples working there.
i forgot to speak into the speaker thing, said cheese burger instead of grilled cheese.,, etc. it was a tad embarassing.

i had a very relaxing night tonite:
soup and tv at veronica's..

Fri, 27 Aug 2004 09:39:04 GMT

curiosa tomorrow!!
i am sorta scared to drive to carson, but kelsy and anne-lah will be with me!

I usually hate fortune cookies, but i got a really cool one today..
"Someone is interested in you. Keep your eyes open."
Unfortunetly, i am taking it like a friend told me this....

I have started to collect them.
My favorite so far...
"Love your enemies cause it makes them so damned mad"

but, i think the first fortune made me sorta break out of my summer shell...

i had a nice art class.

i cant seem to get to bed before 3.

Newest deadly addiction:
(you can totally make fun of me for this)

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER!!!

it is all veronica's fault. damn her!
I just watched the entire 1st season, and now i am going to watch the 2nd season.
it is soo corny but i love it.
at first, i thought angel was very unattractive, until he started being mysterious and all that shtuff.
Its silly, i know.

i am going to now try to do something intelligent...maybe not.

i have started on my college applications.
my goal: have them mostly done before my birthday (oct. 30)
i almost have my essay and brag sheet done..yay!
it would be so easy for me to do them the night before....

Thu, 26 Aug 2004 07:02:16 GMT

i was thinking, when i go to college, am i going to be (like i do so oftenly) all awkward and sit in my room and wish i was making millions of friends and doing fab things, or am i actually going to go out and make sure everyone of campus knows i am fantastic.
I hope i will not be shy.

Cause, when i dont have a friend by my side i sorta turn myself into a blank slate, so i can see how to make friends. The problem is, i usually stay that shy and blank and never come out of my shell. when i have even one friend with me, i can act like myself...
Especially in the summer i turn into this lethargic being that isnt as vibrant as i would like to be...

On a differant topic
my love: jon stewart..

Ross Golan and molehead is amazing, especially live,
I am soo glad i got to meet him, cause even though i have tons of celebrities i would love to meet, just cause i love them, he is one singer that i actually want to have a conversation with.
genius....

Go to www.rossgolanandmolehead.com
then click on speeches (download the necessary program) and read along with the songs. Although the music is amazing, the lyrics make it brilliant.

did my senior pictures....i think i look purdy....eclectic and purdy....

Thanx for listening. (or..i guess... reading)

Tue, 24 Aug 2004 02:16:06 GMT

yay i got my schedule!!!
i like it.

1. Studio art AP w/ Rizzardi (got her for the 4th year in a row.)
2. English 4 w/ Frank (Veronica and Caitlyn are there tooo!!!!)
3. Photo 1 w/ Neely
4. 1st sem: Econ w/ Stanley
2nd sem : gov w/ Thomas (i get to harass him for another year!!)
5. Physiology w/ Hamilton (i hear this is easy...i hope so)
6. Stat AP w/ V. Prater

Comment if you have any of the same classes or know what the class is like...

my odd day is sooo easy.. art, photo, and physio which is a lot of coloring
my even one is hard...

Mon, 23 Aug 2004 08:19:00 GMT

this is going to seem stupid...
but tell me if this is fair.

ok, my brother and i have equal number of dirty dishes in the sink.
Therefore, we have equal responsibility to do these dishes.
My mother singles me out to do the dishes...understandable..right.
She yells at me not to only do my own..ok
except my brother is also home.
If we both have equally contributed to a mess, and we both have access to do these dishes at my mother's command, how come she automatically tells me to do it?

This entire summer, especially since my brother got home, they have been singling me out and blaming everthing on me, including a lot of stuff my brother does.
cause he cant do anything wrong right?
no, the flakey, ditsy, girl must have done it.
If that is blatent sexist favoritism.....

i know its not his fault that he cant possibly ever have a messy room. And its not my fault that i cant maintain a clean environment.

I realy want to know, who, eons ago, decided that clean is right, and messy is wrong.
They are two differant sides of a spectrum that has no inherant positive or negative.

WHY WONT ANYONE LET ME BE DISORGANIZED!!!!!

My Day

Sun, 22 Aug 2004 08:40:04 GMT

Normally, i don't like to post my entire schedule of the day, cause that can be uber-boring.. but i just have to tell.

It was an odd sorta weird dream type of day...

I woke up at 12 (as usual) got food, read, the usuall.....

Anne calls me up and comes by to pick me up for the Sunset Junction street fair....

So, Anne is driving me and Jesse there, when we (being such like cartoon characters on a grand adventure) witness many spectacular sights...

Starting with.... a minivan that is half on fire.......scary...

then, on the 101. this crazy guy in a crappy car starts swerving into our lane...like 3 times... So he has already almost hit us a bunch, and he is staring at jesse. I looked at him, and he is either drunk or insane, right. All of a sudden, jesse is screaming that he has a freakin gun.. and we all freak out and nearly miss our exit.

We finally found parking and met up with Noah, but while walking from our far away parking site, and this guy is walking along, carrying groceries, casually dressed in black leather bootie shorts, leather go-go boots, a dog collar and a tiny leather vest. What's great is how casual he seemed about it all.

we saw Ima Robot and Ben Kweller.

Reviews: Ima Robot: fantastic!

Ben Kweller: Dear god...he was fabulous..... he reminds me of Merry or Pippen

But during all this concertage, this deranged, either on acid or just crazy guy wearing nothing but long johns and boots and the largest pot belly i have ever seen was in our close proximity, happily harrassing all of those around him and telling nonsensical jokes.

It was hilarious.

So, overall: night=fun.

cool.

oh ya, i thought this was funny....

I was taking a shower this morning ( at 3pm) and the water suddenly and mysteriously shut off. Apparantly the people who were re doing the tile decided to shut off the water.

Its really not that horrible a thing...
But its one of the most exciting things that have happened in my world of mundaneness

Conjugation (except not really ) of mundane:
Mundane
mundanity
mundaness
mundanee
Mundaner

Actually that was just me being tired and adding new suffixes to the word mundane..

A land of bland...

But i really need to start attacking the mundaness with myself...

Right now, the music from the commercial of the Garnden State is playing in my head.
I loved that movie. It is probably one of the only movies that makes me (nearly) cry and there is no puppy/grandmother/sappy inspirational character that dies in it.

The other day, i went to Barnes and Noble with Veronica and had quite an amusing experiance.
We discovered the myriads of variations of Chicken Soup for the soul

Here are some actual titles:
Chicken Soup for ...
the nascar soul
the caregiver's soul
the golden soul
the Christian teenager soul
the volunteer soul
the gardner's soul
the preteen soul
even one dedicated to just stories of rape....

the list goes on....
And they all had the same identical trite stories of people overcoming odds and being exploited..
I was just waiting to see chicken soup for the narcotic abuser's soul or for the bulimic's soul
maybe even one for the low self-esteem, Philipino/Native American, pregnant teen with Turrets and discolored skin's soul
just maybe... someday

Then we looked at the harlequin romance 'novels'...
Good fun
Marcella gave me "The Very Virule Viking" for last Hannukah...
I saw all the other titles by the same author..all involving Vikings.. strangely

My Fair Viking
The Blue Viking
Truly, Madly Viking (my other favorite title)
The bewitched viking
The last viking
THe outlaw viking
The reluctant viking

wonderful... isnt it?
What great is they all have a viking who travels forward in time to meet a sexy modern lady who is seduced by the viking's manly charms...
which of course is followed by a steamy love scene..
(This situation occurs every 2 pages)

The basic plot of "The very virule viking" as depicted by the back cover..
is basically this:
A viking, Magnnus, travels forward in time with his 10 children and seduces several women...

Here is the back cover...word for word.
"Magnus Ericsson is a simple man. He loves the smell of fresh-turned dirt after springtime plowing. He loves the feel of a soft woman under him in the bed furs. He loves the heft of a good sword in his fighting arm.

But, Holy Thor, what he does not relish is the bothersome brood of children he's been saddled with. Or the mysterious happenstance that strands him in a strange new land - the kingdom of Holly Wood. Her is a place where the folks think he is an 'act-whore' (whatever that is) and the woman of his dreams - a windemaker of all things- fails to accept that he is her soul mate... a man of exceptional talents, not to mention.... A VERY VIRULE VIKING."

That is really what it says...how great.

True literature... i want to meet a woman that actually reads these things
She must be sooo horny.
hmm.

Thats all for now.

Yup.. thats all i had to say...

my ideal summer isn't going according to plan...

Fri, 13 Aug 2004 11:25:19 GMT

i dont want to trivialize him by doing the traditional 'he's beautiful' and 'i sooo love him' and the typical screaming, omg, he is hot....

I just need to express it...

I just watched Rebel Without a Cause

excepting the random bursts of people acting crappy in that 50's movie way....it was fantastic.

I think he was the last of his kind...actually he was utterly unique

He seemed to be a hearthrob that fell into its own genre...his moodiness and acting, and being tough but not being John Travolta in Grease.

It was a whole differant look at that greased rebel character...just amazing....

And when he winked at Natalie Wood.....

I would love it if someone would wink like that at me..cause it wasnt the creepy sort of wink - the kind that is slow and accompanied by a lecherous smile...

he winked so fast you couldnt even really tell he did it, and then he drove off really fast

I think natalie wood was really annoying in the movie, just sort of sticky-outty and just...there

But i was still on the edge until they "hooked up".....(i hate that phrase!)

I am soo used to modern movies where they make out and have sex on screen , it was weird to see the movie climax to just a kiss...

enigmatic...thats the word

ahh.

i really hope i didnt trivialize him too much...i worry about that.

hey

Thu, 12 Aug 2004 09:30:12 GMT

wow, i just figured out how to use rich text...yay..i am soo freakin slow...

now i can post pictures....

But nothing will paste...ack!

help me...

oh, wait i figured it out.

I just dont know how to do the ones from my digital camera.....

i need a major lesson in that.

lets try some more pics... shall we...

How about my favorite man in the whole world....my guru and religious leader

howgreat is hee.......i lub him.

Well its majorly late and my parents will be leaving in 2 hours....

Yeah! parents gone, brother gone...even dog gone...

If any one wants to come over...do. i want casa de carla to be everyone's beach house...(even though i am nowhere near a beach...)

so bring tons of people...i dont even have to know them.....

Sat, 07 Aug 2004 21:29:55 GMT

i decided to clarify my username for those who don't get it

first of all:
it is...O FRABJOUS DAY

as in the poem Jabberwocky from Alice in Wonderland

when the boy slays the jabberwock, his father exclaims...

"O Frabjous Day! Calooh! Callay!
He chortled in his joy"

And that you see, is an actual phrase, not mindless randomness from my head.

Sat, 07 Aug 2004 08:30:58 GMT

OH MY GOD!!!

Garden State is the best movie ever.......
Made me completly happy, and sad...and then happy again

I knew Zach Graff(or however you say it) could act, but i am surprised he did not make it big through writing or directing.....

I cant even describe it.
I met cool calablackless people too.

Also went to the beach today....and did not burn!!!
Yay!!!!!

This truly was a good friday.

Thu, 05 Aug 2004 09:37:03 GMT

i realize that i suck in driving in that i get lost waayy to much.
I drove Hannah, Veronica, Caitlyn and Kelsy and I to 3rd street, and on that way ended up in Venice. I know its not that far from it, but still...jeez!

Tina, you fat lard, eat your dinner.

It was soo funny...
In urban outfitters, Veronica had a near-fit about how thier shirts were telling you to love certian races and that everyone must love all of them, but that there were too many and everyone couldnt love them all...It was really funny. i guess you had to be there.

Interesting point brought up in conversation: I hate when people expect people who are "bohemion" or "alternative" to only like bohemion or alternative things. Like movies and music and everything. These people have a sociological expectation that anything this "differant" person does is going to be "underground". By having these expectations, this person is condoning labels.

By the way, i love gossip. It was nice to gossip in the summer, cause usually i dont have much to talk about. I know gossip is supposed to be bad, but in my opinion, the first rule of thumb is that you never let that person hear it. I dont care for that stuff about telling it to a person's face. I personally dont want to know what other people say about me. Its their own business. Thats why i dont get when people bad mouth others on thier ljs and are surprised when that person reads about it.
Also, i would never know anything otherwise if i didnt hear gossip. hehe.

My favorite tv show of the summer: Dharma and Greg

I have been watching it religiously every night from 12am-1am
The season just restarted with the pilot and i am so "psyched"

Dont make fun of me....

I love my art classes. Sure i am still to shy to speak to anyone other than the one 10th grader i befriended. Its funny, the one person she knows from agoura happens to be the guy i carpooled with 2 years ago. Thats an odd coincidence. I dont know why i feel intimidated by some of these people. Its not like they are older than me. (Many are younger). And i could care less that they are better artists than me. I got over that week one. But this next week, i am going to be friendlier and have a real conversation with these people.
Yay.

My other fave tv show: The Daily Show
I want to shower jon stewart with kisses. He is soo funny. i love. him. so. freakin. much. gad.
You know whats really funny,
when you are reading someone's lj, and you notice someone's comment that you think you might know, so you read their lj and userinfo, and you cant figure out who they are, so you read most of their lj, until you know most of thier thoughts, but you still dont know who they are , and then you find thier whole name, and you cant beliveive its them cause it doesn't seem like them....
That's cool

I love Rosemary Clooney.....and that song, Mambo Italiano,,,,and at the end when she says, that's nice!

Question for the day:
Where do you draw the line?
(btw, this is not a specific question....
examples for answers:
-in the sand
-across your acne ridden face
-around mating wallabies)
(and so on, i think you get the idea)

I love you...do you love me????
Ha, i know you do.
Cause i am jewish. right.

This summer is good, but also really slow.
SO....
dont hestitate to call people.....that means you!

Last night i was sooo bored, so first i watched Thirteen, which was weird cause i went to middle school with evan rachel wood.
I freaked out when i found out those girls were supposed to be in 7th grade. especially cause the actresses are my age, if not older.
Also, i find it hard to imagine all those middle-school girls going to see this with thier moms.

Then, *this is the height of my boredom*, many tv shows later, i watched.....OPRAH!!!
This is what to do at 2 in the morning when you are uber-bored.
God!
She was fufilling people's dreams and shit like that. My favorite was when a girl's dream to dance with Britney Spears came true. Britney had hooker hair. YOu know, when it is all teased at the crown with a big lump of fake hair. YOu got to love it.

SO,,,,,give me a ring, or an email, or an im or a hug....

Mon, 02 Aug 2004 08:39:01 GMT

Lovileness!
lovely people have posted on my lovely lj and made me feel just lovely.
I remembered that i am going to curiouosa and i decided to research the cure a bit more on the net. Whenever i go to the concert of someone i dont really own a cd of, i always feel like a giant fake. But i listened to some of thier music, and i have heard it all before. I realized i loved most of thier music, i just didnt know it was them. So i feel better about it, cause i am not really a fraud. But then i must ask myself, why do i feel the need to justify myself?
Ah, what a completely fruitless day.
Adieu.

Mon, 02 Aug 2004 02:08:54 GMT

i dont know what to do now
I have slept, and read and done things for my parents all day.
Everyone is probably doing something right now. I dont even think i could manage being social right now.
Even so, a lot of people are on vacation now.
jeesh.
I would like if someone called for a nice chat on the phone
(818)880-9405
hehehe
i am truly bored

i dont think i can watch any more movies or tv.
I cant draw or paint or sculpt now. I have no inspiration.
I dont have the brainpower to sew.
I am too lazy to knit.
I am too lazy to take a shower so i could go out.

Dammit, i sound like one of those negative people i despise.

And no one has posted on my lj for months!!!
jeesh.

got any ideas of what i should do, tell me.

Tue, 27 Jul 2004 23:29:29 GMT

i feel sorry for my brother. He is going to be very unhappy when he is older. I hope he will not treat his kids like he treats me. He likes to pretend he is my 3rd parent, so i dread when he will actually be one. He will leave them on the side of the road if they forget to turn off the tv. He dwells in the negative. He needs to be happy and learn to pass the little things by, 'or dont sweat the small stuff'.
I hope he doesnt beat these hypothetical kids either.
Thats all i have to say about that.

Carla's Sunday Night Movie Reviews....!

Mon, 26 Jul 2004 09:48:14 GMT

A CINDERELLA STORY
-really funny cause it was a crap movie. I went to see it for 2 reasons:
1. Was extremely bored
2. Has Jennifer Coolidge ( the 'me too' woman from A Mighty Wind)
Highlights of movie:
1. Dearie me, Chad Micheal Murray has a problem....here it is....should he go to UCS or Princeton.. Oh, my heart goes out to you Prince Charming. I should be so lucky to have that problem.
2. Best bit of the movie: Jennifer Coolidge (who plays the evil stepmother) picks up a cookie and said to hilary duff, 'Have a cookie. Its really moist.'
It was soo wonderful.
I would recommend seeing the movie, but not paying for it.

HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG
Seeing this movie after a cinderella story was like looking at a Picasso after looking at an afganastanimation cartoon,
It was a fantastic film....and i emphasize the word film....
Ben Kingsly has to be the greatest actor....ever...seriously
In the beginning, it seems static, but it is really gripping.
It has a seemingly simple plot, just a woman is evicted from her house, and another family buys it, but it turns out the gov was in the wrong, but he wont sell the house.
But the story that develops is amazing.

ok, i am going to bed now, But after that movie, i dont think i will be able to sleep.
