currently: jammin' out to mah coldplay cd und waiting for the laundry to finish drying to i can fold it.
also: wondering why i just put the above there. i don't usually do that. hm.

i am dry. yes. i told you all that i was dry. i mean it in a figurative sense, though, not in literal terms. it refers to my brain. it is...dry. i have no knowledge, or wisdom, or rants for you today. i can't even tell you what i did, because i barely remember. oh! i vaguely recall going to mimi's cafe for lunch and meeting this FABULOUS waiter named, like, justin. drooooool, he was so hot. but that's all i remember. OH! that, and i wore shorts in public for the first time since last year.

i knew it! i knew it! none of you listened to me when i said so, but i TOLD you all that i was screwed up! maaahaaaa! *naked dance*

yesterday was so much fun. i haven't had that good a time since...uhhh...since spring break, i guess. anyway, it was just me hanging around the charlie brown rehearsals when i wasn't supposed to, and camping out backstage when i REALLY wasn't supposed to. i think i caused poor matt to develop an aneurysm...either that, or i took ten years off his life. maaahaa. yeah. then after that, dan drove me to spring valley so i could watch my little sister break dance in her talent show. right before her group ("tha flames") was due to perform, poor little sophie freaked out and made my parents take us all home. oh well. not everyone is meant for the biz.

plus side-- this lessens my competition by a LOT. freaking...everyone in my family wants to get into performance art. my other sister lauren wants to be an actress too ("just like you, binkie! i am going to beat-your-bottom!"). if i can figure out how to bump her off, then my way will be clear and unobstructed. YAY stardom and singular only-focused-on-me glory! woooo.

i wish i could have more fridays like the one i had this week. *satisfied belch* goood times. and just for the record, i really do like charlie brown. in fact..i think i love it. yes. i love charlie brown. and not the-the person. not the kid. the musical. the musical...charlie brown.

shoot me now.

i, for the record, hate cleaning. i hate it with the white hot intensity of a thousand burning suns. i hate the fact that it is spring, and therefore every nook and cranny in our whole house needs to be sterilized. i also hate laundry. if i have to fold one more silk shirt (those-things-won't-stay-put) or color-code one more pair of undies i WILL GO INSANE. crazy. i will lose my sanity. i will no longer be stable.

although i think that train has already left the station. woo wooooo! *drool*

so yeah, today was saturday. it was an ugly sort of saturday, with scattered clouds and temperatures in the mid to upper-fifties. there was a chance of rainfall in the afternoon, and some patchy fog in the early morning. precipitation was...

oh dear GOD, what am i saying!?

anyway. it was mainly ugly because, as one of the publicity reps for charlie brown, my group and i had to go put posters up all over the bay spooting area. i gotta be 100% with you--it was like, the 7th worst day of my life. i did not have a fun happy spectacular time. in fact, it was the polar opposite, only exacerbated by the spring cleaning i had to undertake the MINUTE I GOT HOME.

wouldn't it be lovely if we could formulate our own perfect saturday? mine would have nothing to do with scattered clouds or charlie brown. it'd involve...sunshine. and grassy fields in the alps, with wildflowers and classical music and happiness, and...a....person...that would be keeping me...company...*clears throat*
but yanno, that's just me. *grin* perhaps one day, when the reincarnation of albert einstein rolls around, he'll create a wishing machine or something nifty like that so that i can have my perfect saturday.

*the sigh* until then, bring your umbrellas to school on monday. temperatures will be in the low to mid-sixties, with chances of light rainfall in the morning and a wee bit of sun around noon.

things learned while on vacation:

1. never joke with a police officer.
the night before we left miami to go to orlando, we were driving down the interstate when a cop pulled us over. i was sitting in the backseat, and the whole thing was really thrilling because...gawd, to this day i don't even know. anyway, it turned out my dad was driving with our flood lights on and in florida, that constitutes a hefty fine. dad was busy trying to produce his id when i unbuckled my seatbeat, leaned forward and said, "oooh, this is so exciting! our first miami stickup!"

why did i say that? WHY did i say that? oh my LORD, the cop must've thought we'd just gotten back from a bank robbery. but anyway.

he stared at me and said, "excuse me?" and my parents looked all scandalized and i just wanted to vanish on the spot. it turns out that policemen don't carry a sense of humor in their holster...only a gun.

2. when ride signs tell you you are going to get wet, THEY MEAN IT.
we were waiting in line at universal studios to go ride this odd twister movie re-creation thing when i spotted one of those "you WILL get wet!" posts at the entrance. i did not heed the warning, because the ride wasn't even a ride at all. it was a tornado simulation. how wet can one get during a tornado simulation?

my hair was RUINED.

3. nothing is worth waiting 160 minutes for. nothing.
shrek 4-D was the most popular thing at universal, even beating out the men in black alien ride thingie. i was skeptical. no way would anyone make us wait over two hours, not when it was 11 o'clock at night and we had a plane to catch at 5 the next morning. noooo, because us saldanas are invincible! what is a mere LINE to the proud and few!?
after about thirty minutes, my mom started complaining that her ankles hurt, my dad started griping about missing our flight, and i fell asleep standing up. i don't even like shrek anyway.

4.pay attention in spanish class. dammit.
no one speaks english in miami. if you don't know how to speak spanish, you are muerte with a capital-d. my grandparents, who we were there to visit, laughed at my crude and broken dialect. all of my cousins were hella talking smack...but i can't be sure, since they were careful to do it in spanish. and my dad...ugggh, we made him look like such an ass. i think my one proud moment was when we were over at my aunt olga's house, and without really thinking i said, "donde esta la vasura?" ("where is the trash?") it was groovy, and i scared the shizzit out of my cousins because they knew i knew about their smack talking. yeah yuh.

5. when on vacation, do not go online.
the internet is stupid, but nothing is more stupid than sneaking away from your uncle's birthday party to borrow his internet access. what can i say? i was DYING without my aim. in retrospect, it was probably a lame thing to be caught doing. like, i was sitting in the dark, giggling like a maniac, and talking to (of all people!) rick. how embarassing.

6. it is probably not best to abandon your luggage in another state.
that's right, folks. my backpack is still at the marriot in florida. *sigh* it's all my dad's fault. he left me and my mom in the hotel room while he went to go check out, and he knows good and damn well how incompetent women are. i didn't notice i was missing something until we were halfway to orlando, and even then it was only because i was taking a nap and had a dream that..i forgot my backpack. and it came TRUE. auughghgpegegkvdev.

7. piggy back rides are the grooviest kind of exercise.
i don't mean getting 'em, i mean GIVING 'em. gawd. it sucks being the "fun" cousin, i swear. all the other kids my age were busy sitting around trying to look older than they really were and discussing politics, but IIIII was too busy playing simon says and toting a bunch o' little people on my back.

8. if you are from california and visiting another state, it is best not to assert your california-ness every five seconds.
the entire trip consisted of exchanges like this:
"oooh, we didn't know you had p-diddy in florida!"
"yeah, well. the seafood's better in cali."
"d'you watch american idol? really? no, REALLY? that's so weird."
"ohmigosh, there's a starbucks! HERE! who knew!?"
"liiiike, in california, like, people, like, sound a lot smarter when they, like, talk."
either that, or you drive down the street with your noses pressed against the car window and you take pictures of everything.

9. ponchos are ugly.
there is no getting around it. you cannot accessorize a freaking clear plastic mickey mouse poncho. it's just not done. we were at disney world when one of florida's famous five-minute tropical monsoons rolled in, and my dad had to run to one of the gift shops and buy us some rain gear. he got...ponchos. i was so embarassed. so there we stood, waiting in line for the "it's a small world" ride, wearing those damn plastic shields and looking 100% like the tourists we were.

yanno, it really is the happiest freaking place on earth.

10. THINK before you SPEAK.
when we were leaving our hotel in orlando, one of the security guards was like, "bye, have a nice flight!" and then i opened my big dumb mouth and said, "you too!"

11. boys in yellow swim trunks are often extremely hot. no, make that hott.
'nuff said.

12. when you first get home from vacation, update your nutang.
it's the polite thing to do. plus, i've been home for a whole week now. sorry.

YAY spring break! wooooo. party hardy.

so tomorrow's the day i leave for florida. i can't say i'm excited about it--it's not really gonna be a happy trip. see, my grandma's kinda dying of cancer and stuff...sooo maybe disney world isn't appropriate, i dunno. *melancholy* to be frank, i'd much rather stay in crappy old millbrae and go to school. yesm. at least that way i can see mis amigos and whatnot.

yes, so. i'll write more when i get back. lurve you all--and have a kickass break! unless you're in school...in which case, i laugh at you. hah.
