| That didn't take long... |
| 05.30.06 (9:56 am) [edit] |

No, it didn't take me long to find somebody at work I couldn't stand.
I hate those people who you know for a fact have had as much experience working in place as you (which in both our cases is zilch), and I know this because I think she was at my training session, yet they proceed to boss you around. This one little twit was doing that; she is pushy, rude, and whiny, and telling me how to serve popcorn, what lids and staws I can use (because they said yet she can't identify any one particular they especially a manager) and she's just really annoying! It took me much longer in Disney World to find someone like that. It wasn't until a few months later. Macy's there was a girl like that, but not as bad. I can't wait to get trained in money handling (which won't be for awhile) so I can be as far away from her as humanly possible. Counseling today. I don't know why. Current Mood:  whatever

| Graduation |

When was the last time I wrote?
OK. Friday I had my department graduation. That was OK. Went to Olive Garden with my family for lunch. Then after Jeremy joined us we went to the hotel and just hung out, watched Nanny McPhee. Went to the big graduation at the SJSU Stadium. It was much differnt than my high school graduation. At my high school graduation they made everyone rehearse walking in three or four times and made us "do it till we got it right" and we had to sit very still and stuff. Here, no one sat still, people took pictures, even though you weren't supposed to be on the phone I heard phone conversations all around me like, "I am by the big speakers, where are you...? I'm going to stand up and wave, OK?" I passed my time by drawing. Then we took about a hundred pictures with every possible combination of relative, "Now the just the aunts...now just the women...now just the cousins..." And eventually we went to Red Lobster for lunch which was wonderful. Then I went to my first official day of work where I proceeded to burn my wrist on the hot dog machine. So it was a good day. Today I woke up with a sense of, "What do I do today?" I don't work, I don't have to be anywhere, I certainly don't have any school assignments that need doing. Maybe I'll begin my series of paintings today. Monday I work. Tuesday morning I have a counseling session. Wednesday I have to register for that animation class. And Friday I have my court date to try and get out of higher insurance and $113.75 because some asswipe cop said I was doing 85 but nicely marked it down to 75 which is probably what I was...yeah, won't get into it. I hate San Mateo County. Current Mood:  ok

OK, yes. I was pissed at the moment I wrote that last entry. And I was also thinking Andrea wouldn't show up until 11 or so.
In the morning I went to my last class in which I turned in the painting that has kept me housebound, and hunched over on the floor for the last week more-or-less. My painting was the most different on the wall (not necessarily in a bad way), I was complimented by my peers. And the teacher said, "You did everything wrong, but somehow it all works..." and it was great. Got those other paintings I have had hanging over my head a semester approved. Yes. Good things...right there at the end... I got a much needed haircut. Did some much needed grocery shopping. Did some other stuff. Got pissed off with Kelly (who never did return any phone calls after we left). Jeremy and I took the Light Rail downtown, and Andrea was there waiting at the station. So from there we started our barhopping adventure. We went to the Dive where they were doing Karoke, and I sang School's Out, something I had been hoping to do for like...yeah, long time. The young people dug the message, the old people liked the song. I totally wrecked my voice for the rest of the night. But it was so much fun!! Oh! And a total stranger bought Andrea her first drink! (Aw!) Went to Mission Ale House, which kinda sucked, went to O'Flarety's which was fun, as it always is. The bartender gave us a (sorta) free round of royal flushes which were awesome. Then Jeremy and I went to San Jose Bar and Grill to wait for the last light rail. Then Jeremy and I walked over a mile to the Denny's wannabe restaurant right next to the apartment and had chilli cheese fries without the chilli (Which was extra fun in my platform boots). Anyway, it was a lot of fun. More fun than I have had in a long time. And I looked good. And I got perfectly drunk; drunk enough to feel it but not so drunk I was an idiot and wouldn't remember tomorrow. And today I just kinda sat around and didn't do much of anything. Saw a movie, Art School Confidential which sucked since its attempted humor seemed to mostly rely on the stereotypes of what art students are; flakey, drama queens, trying to pass off used tissues as art. And tomorrow is the department graduation thing. No idea what they are going to do. But...yeah...whatever... It is so wonderful to not have to do anything! Current Mood:  relaxed
There you go, Andrea |

| Another bad party attempt... |
| 05.24.06 (9:23 pm) [edit] |
|
It feels like my every attempt at a party fails miserably somehow.
How much fun have I had this semester? This year for that matter? I finally get everyone organized for a party, Kelly swears up and down she'll be able to make it, and then some shit happens that keeps Jeremy and I waiting still at home at this late hour. Why am I so cursed? Why is it so hard for the cosmos to align in my favor so that I can have a good, unstupid party? Is it some sort of karma thing where I've negatively impacted other people's parties? Or am I just not allowed to be unboring once in awhile. Current Mood:  pissed off

Debating if I should wait or go now with the heavy-artillery energy drink or give it another half hour or so.
My ass and knees hurt from sitting on this floor for pretty much the last 5 days. I have this feeling I will more-or-less finish tonight/this morning, hang around school all day attempting to find the teacher who will or will not deem it worthy, and never find her. I'm so tired of this semester. But the best news of the semester is: Maya will be officially dead in just a little under 18 hours!!! Until I potentially have to take it again like 2 years, but that's not something I want to think about right now. Maybe it's time for energy drinks now... What's left on this damn painting? shell, little slug, short red kelp, coral, ringed top snail, few barnicles, all the cast shadows, details on the pink star, japanese oyster, wave, rock details, fix the brown kelp Seems like a lot when I put it that way... 54 hours until its all done and over with. |

| Worst Musical Ever |

This painting needs to die.
I know I've got a lot of work to do on it, but to actually sit down and do it is...a struggle. While watching the Simpson's Street Car Named Desire musical episode I thought of the worst idea for a musical ever. They should do it on South Park or Team America 2 (no, there is no plans for a sequel...but I found out they are making a Ghostbusters 3 so anything is possible). Anyway... The Musical! Current Mood:  bored and frustrated

My mom is such a bitch. I asked my dad yesterday, what if I can't go to the Sacramento graduation party that's being planned for me. He said don't worry about it. This morning my mom calls and is pissy to me because she wants to send invitations and wants me to somehow force somebody at a job I haven't started yet to set in stone right now that I will get that Sunday off. Unfortunately, I can't do that until the Wednesday right before the Sunday which isn't nearly enough time i guess. But that doesn't stop her from being a pissy-pants at me because I can't say 100% right this second, or in any second in the very immediate future what is certain. So many times I have sat down to blog, only to erase the entry. Another class died last night, the one I hated the least. Now just my two favoritists left... (Maya and damn tidepool) Here is one reason I am excited about summer, and my graduation gift to myself: 
Building toys that lock together in 35 different ways to create a range and variety of movement such as the ones on might find on...the human body... Can't wait for those to get here. Doesn't matter since I have to do this stupid-ass painting. But this summer, I will be painting and animating! I can't wait! And I also made this "self portrait" when I was tired of looking at said painting the other day: 
That's all I've got to say. Approx. 112 hours until school is over!! Current Mood:  hungry

Why won't this painting die?!?!?!
And I really really hate that my dad is such an asshole about his religion. Like, every issue I bring up to him, he turns it into a damn religious discussion about how I need to be praying more to understand god's great plan, and how I shouldn't worry because I don't own the outcome (whatever the fuck that means). And from what I understand, he was talking to his sister in one of her late friday/saturday was discussing the importance of saying the Rosary... grrr... It occured to me yesterday as Andrea and Kelly were swapping stories about clubs, bars and parties how boring my life really is...boring with nothing to show for it...not a damn thing... Current Mood:  irritated

This is just so I can figure crap out. No need to read.
I have got to figure out what and how I am going to do next semester. Here are my issues: 1. I need to work full time, most likely at the movie theatre. 2. I am retaking the class that is utterly kicking my ever-lovin' arse (preferably) at 8:00 Tues/Thurs. 3. I want to take a completely different drawing class, one of which meets at the same time as the class I want to retake, the other meets at 3:00-6:00 Tues/Thurs. 4. More than either of these two classes, I want to take stop motion classes at DeAnza, but that schedule won't be out until probably August. 5. In addition, I don't know how I am going to pay for all this next semester. If I wasn't graduating I could still count on my dad who when I brought it up yesterday, before somehow turning it, like all my issues into a religious discussion, did not volunteer any sort of loanage. 6. One of these years, I want to go at it just based on open university alone, which you can only take 24 units with; counting the next semester limbo classes, and these, I'll need 33 more. But it's cheaper to take 6 units through regular enrollment than Open U. Plus at some point if I ever did want to graduate, I will have to take two or more classes simultaneously, such as next semester. However, between Radio TV Film, taking that Friday class 2 extra times, and any other misc. art classes I have, I don't need too many more electives. Wow. Confusing stuff... |

I have one more eentsy weentsy Maya thing I have to do, and one more Maya thing I "want" to do. It's an extra assignment to model a train, however, it's the first project I was somewhat excited about since it could be any kind of train we wanted and I opted for Disneyland's Monorail.
More and more pieces of the semester die! Anyway, I was surfing the net and somehow came upon this: http://www.christianwrestling... Yeah, I don't know either. I had McDonald's for the first time in...a long time, since I started kinda-sorta eating better, and I was amazed at how incredibly bland it was. I put mayonaise and garlic powder on the burger just to give it flavor. Also, thought I would post this cartoon since it seems like the relationship I have with my fiancee. The unseen woman on the phone has just had someone try and trick her into resigning her job. The man is her best friend and nothing more despite sexual tension. 
Yeah...I need to clean out my car... Current Mood:  ok i guess

Dude. I have got to go grocery shopping!
Whatever I do will be wrong, so why bother putting effort into it and getting myself all upset when I find out (surprise surprise!) it's wrong? I really hate computer animation. It is just completely illogical, and all the while, I think, "If this were stop motion, I wouldn't have to worry about the character doing screwy things when I animate. And no, I didn't finish last night. Something about nothing working makes me believe it's time for a break. Bridesmaid dress shopping tomorrow! Current Mood: hungry

| One last thing.... |
| 05.11.06 (10:23 am) [edit] |
|
I came home pissed off and angry last night for no apparent reason other than, "Everything sucks" after having finished modeling a Maya character, I now have to rig, animate, and texture it by Friday. Which probably means nothing to most of you. Bottom line: a lotta work for me and not what I was hoping to do today.
However, I realize if I can just barrel through this one last stupid (but big) thing, I may never have to worry about any Maya crap again (this semester...until I eventually do get accepted into the program and have to take the advanced Maya. Again, rather irritated stop motion isn't even an option). I'm probably going to retake the other class that is giving me so much heartache again next semester. Which makes me wonder how much should I care about it this semester esp. since I am more behind than I would like to admit. blaaah. Current Mood:  whatever...
Oh! With the Da Vinci Code coming out in a few weeks, does anyone thing a t-shirt that says, "Jesus used protection" would be funny? Nothing came up when I Googled the phrase...it sends a good message about safe sex... Mmmmm...yeah... I thought it was funny |

Is there anyone who really enjoys a group project?
If I want to fail, please let me do so alone, dammit. It doesn't help the leader of our humble team is an utter psycho...which I mean in the best possible way; the man never sleeps, he lives in that computer lab, and has learned a lot about the program. Which I am almost completely resistant to, thinking as I move verts around, if we were doing stop motion I wouldn't have to do all this ridiculous nonsense. Semester needs to die. 14 more days until it will. In better news, today is my last workout of my nearly-useless PE class! (Reason #5 the semester needs to die). Now, where the fuck are those library books? One of them is completely useless for so many reasons yet will cost $100 to replace. Ironically, I knew right where it was until somebody decided it was their place to clean out my car...grrr...whoever it was has a nasty habbit of doing that. Maybe a $100 slap on the wrist would make him learn his lesson... Current Mood:  i don't know

Yes. 'Bout stinkin' time.
However, it is completely un-school related. Quite the opposite, really. I was employed this afternoon at Century Oakridge! For those of you playing the home game, yes, that would be Jeremy's theatre, but we will work in separate departments; I will be a popcorn jockey, which, from what I understand has the most hours, yet is the most challenging. But, yay! I have a job! Felt a little sorry for the girl who interviewed with me...completely...yeah. Wore jeans, no resume, and a 19-year-old high school drop-out with no previous job experience. The interviewer looked at my resume and proceeded to ask just her questions. Then ended the interview saying to both of us, "We'll let you know in a week, but I need you, [me] to stay and give me the phone numbers of your references." And I was pulling out my cell phone, she made it clear she was being tactful and, "Follow me to the office." Yay! Job! Job! Job! I wonder how this will effect my not-set-in-stone-just-yet plans to go to LA for a week...hmmm...I need a job more I guess... Current Mood: happy about something for a change.

This year, after awhile, the rain got old.
However, not helping the "Semester needs to die" senioritis feelings is the gorgeous weather. It makes it so much harder to go to the Maya lab and be shut in to a cement room with no natural lighting all day. Plus it feels like I should be doing something else; going to Disneyland, loading up the car to go to the next state, or something summery. Maybe I'll put on sunscreen just for the smell of it. |

The drawings I attempted to turn in yesterday were so bad and completely insalvagable the teacher could not even comment on them and in my opinion I was doing everthing I thought I needed to be doing.
Here is the chain of things: The drawings from yesterday show what you know. If the drawings are so fundamentally I then must know nothing. Yet, I pratice a lot, and am learning a lot. Lately, I get a lot of positive feedback on the drawings I do in class (from the same guy). Does that mean I don't know anything? The drawings are looking good...for me. Is it that no matter how much I practice or how hard I try I never will get it? Why does everyone else get it? Am I the only one? It sure feels like it. The reality is everyone is better than me (despite what my stupid dad insists). My perception is everyone else just seems to get it and no matter what, I don't. I am convinced more than ever I must have a learning disability. Somethin' ain't quite right in the head. If Jeremy hadn't gotten blood all over my cover page I might have turned it in by now. However in that class, my grades will be based on that effort he sees rather than the actual grade. Which means I'll probably get an A; a pity grade. Here's the funny thing about my mom. I won't get into the whole story. But I called to ask her if she did something she said she would do yet. And she lit into me about how sick she's been and how dare I open up the conversation with a question about what she's done rather than a "How are you feeling?" It's interesting because In the past couple weeks I have felt severely depressed, hopeless, worthless, slightly suicidal, AND I've gotten a job interview at the movie theatre. She has never once acknowledged any of these things. Stuff really really sucks. 17 more miserable days till my last final. And I am so sick of people saying, "Well, hang in there, it's almost done." Yes, I know that! But that doesn't allieviate the shit I have to deal with now does it? That doesn't change the fact that I still have to do the Maya shit, and the tidepool I am now further behind on than anyone else, and the fact that I feel worthless until then. It's just so annoying. It's like saying, "Whatever you feel right now doesn't matter because it won't be like that much longer." Current Mood:  shitty

To volunteer is pretty much to say, "Whore me."
I stupidly volunteered my video services to help my brother (and of course my dad) for some sort of video project my brother has. Little did I know that not only would they wait till the last minute, but they would expect me to drop the stuff I put off till the last minute and do their crap. Not only that, but they are completely disorganized, they have no script, no idea of what footage they want to use, all they know is what background music they want. Wow. Very considerate, guys! Plus I'm starting to not feel so confident about my studio expertise... In better news, I have an interview at Century 20 Oakridge next Tuesday!! Current Mood:  sllightly buzzed and irritated

This semester needs to die. In a few minutes, I have to leave for the maya lab to finish all the stuff that's due today.
I still haven't officially started my tidepool. My comic book that I have barely started is due Thursday. And Jeremy and I were thinking about going to San Francisco last week, but I had too much stuff to do, and the weather was not great. So we were thinking about doing it this week and I have to disappoint him because while I would rather be anywhere else but doing school especially with gorgeous weather like this, I still have a lot of crap to do and a luxurious trip to San Francisco does not seem like the most effective use of that time. I can't stand this semester! This is without a doubt the worst ever! 24 more miserable days till my last final. Current Mood: really really blah
