#2 Nader vs. Democrats. Ok mr. Nader...you made your point in 2000, make your point again in 2004 by using your vote and encouraging other Americans to use their vote to get Bush and his facist regime out of office. You have no chance of winning this election...don't take votes away from democrats, because you're just helping the Bush administration win all over again. I'll support your ticket in 2008 (as long as a bushie isn't on the ballot).
#3 If I thought it would make any difference, I would leave the United States. I don't agree with many of the decisions this country is making nor the principles that it stands for. And most of all I do not agree with the retard that bought his way to the Presidency.
The End.

January 22, 2004 Dear Blog,
Well, I have my WRIT130 (aka dumb ass english) class "one on one" conference today to discuss the some text and my writing. At least my writing isn't as bad as the text. Arg..It dissapoints me that I was doing more complex analysis in 10th grade than I'm doing in a university. But whatevah. Hopefully I'll have time to go swimming again.
Ah yes! This is what I really wanted to discuss. My morals. Do I or don't I eat brownies? (These aren't your mom's brownies, folks) If I take alcohol, I think I might say yes...but if I don't then this nagging part of my brain keeps telling me that that is something that is totally unecessary...and what would your friends...Pierre! think? What would I think of myself? What are the effects? Will I screw up my brain...yes, but permanently. I guess since I'm so skeptical of my decision making abilities I should just say no. (D.A.R.E. to say no! Hahaha...there's a flashback to the early 90s for you kids out there ;)) Well, I shall be tested tonight. I'll keep you posted on the developements.
Later.
Love, January 21, 2004 Dear Blog,
Hmm...for those of you that know me...I've never been to Band Camp!!! ; ) however, this is true for what it is testing for: my inner loser...although I think it's my outer loser considering that it is my major.
Well, I seem to be in a better mood today than Monday or Tuesday (btw...today's Wednesday). Maybe exercising and practicing my *** off today helps my mood. ::note to self:: Well, adios!

November 18, 2003 Dear Blog,
Anyways...I just thought it was a good time to say hello. ::Hello!:: Eww...when models walk on the runway they look like they're stomping...and some look like they're about to fall over...well, I guess that's explainable when you look at their shoes :) Well, talk to everyone later!
Love,
You have the Renoir girl look. Youd have enchanted
the French Impressionists, who painted lively
girls at work and play. Their models were
ballet dancers, girls of Paris enjoying
themselves at open air dances or in music halls
and cafes, delighting in the sunshine or the
bright lights of French nightlife. The Renoir
girl loved to experiment with make-up and were
fun loving, sexy yet elegant. The following
painters would have loved to paint you; Dietz
Edzard, Edourad Manet, Edgar Degas and Auguste
Renoir.
'Pretty As A Picture' - Which Artist Would Paint You?

It's concert season! Last friday I played in the USC community orchestra's concert. We played Holst's "Planets", Copeland's "Simple Gifts", and Christina Landolt's "There Lurks". I thought it went very well. Yesterday I went to a recording session of Alias...so cool! I can definately see myself working there in the future...now I just need to practice so I can. Tomorrow is the Vince deRosa Scholarship concert in Newman Hall. It should be lots of fun. Bah. I suck at writing.
This is the epitomy of USC:
I go to college
That makes me so cool
I live in a dorm
And show off by the pool
Just to build an impression
I block out thinking
It won't get me ahead
Is to look good on paper
All I want is a slot
In some big corporation
I lampoon and I ape him
My news of the world
Comes from Sports Illustrated
Like my empty beer cans
Stacked in rows up the wall
To impress all my friends
I just want to get drunk
And major in business
And be taught how to fuck
I always play to win
Wanna fit in like a cog
In the faceless machine

So, same-sex marriage. It's the next topic of my WRIT 130 essay and the hot topic of debate in our country. WHY? I used to believe that the United States was a relatively progressive country whose population was generally tolerant of other people's differences. Now I do not. From the internment of people of middle-eastern decent in Guantanamo Bay, to the new movement to create a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage...the United States government is about as tolerant as Hitler's facist regime or the K.K.K.. It is hard for me to comprehend why people care if gays get married, especially since the main arguement is that gay/same-sex marriage will "destroy the sanctity of marriage." What about the sanctity of our Constitution? I believe that our Constitution is more sacred than marriage, because, after all...when it comes down to it marriage is simply a legal contract between two adults who want to protect each other. The Constitution, that is what hundreds of thousands, dare I say millions, of Americans fought for. The Constitution gives us our freedoms...and makes us ALL equal. Our Constitution also clearly emphasizes the separation of church and state. The United States is not doing justice to it's own Constitution. Gays and Lesbians are not equal to Heterosexuals in many ways, including marriage. How is it possible to justify denying two women or two men who love each other access to the protection of the US government without using religious rhetoric? There is only one other arguement against it that I can think of...and that is the arguement for the children. Some say that children will be the ones that suffer from a same-sex marriage. I say, children are the ones that will prosper from these unions. First of all, we all know that a same-sex couple cannot create children on their own. So, they have two options, to adopt or to artificially inseminate. Adoption would be wonderful because these parents would be providing a child who would normally not have a family with a home, so the same-sex couples are helping to keep the ever increasing population down as well as take care of a worldwide problem of unwanted children. If the couple decides to artificially inseminate, marriage would be beneficial to the child because both parents, not only the biological one, would have rights to the child and also the child would know that his parents had a place of acceptance in this society. It's nearing my bedtime, so I'll continue on to the next topic, because I could probably talk about the absurdity of the same-sex marriage debate for a long long time.

Wow, I can't even believe this is happening to me. Me, here on this stage. Well, well...I guess I should first thank the Academy for giving me this opportunity. The director..I guess that would be me (thanks me!), my producers mum and dad, the editors and writers...thanks teachers! the score all my music teachers...but a big thanks to Christine and Mr. DeRosa, Mr. Todd, and Dr. Morrell for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime to go to their wonderful, amazing university and expand my musical horizons tres loin...my support staff, if the orchestra would just hold on one moment there are a few more people to thank...Eva, Anya, Casey, Jacob, the Bessons, Danielle, Sean, Kristen, Melody, Kimberly, Jessica, Kate, Heather, Dana, Kyna...thank you to all those guys who I liked in the past for making me tougher and teaching me what I want and what kinda freaks me out. Most of all, thank you ::bows down:: thank you thank you...merci tres beaucoup to the love of my life: Pierre-Francoys Brousseau. I wish I had your intelligence, creativity, and good nature..you are truly an amazing person, thank you for being so incredibly good to me. Ok, orchestra, hit it.

Wow, this is depressing 
Lonliness dominates you. You can hide it well, but
its there, and your friends can see it. You
constantly feel alone, and need to do things to
fill your time. Your afraid to tell people
this, but sooner or later it gets out in a bad
way, and you think you screwed up everything.
And when you are in love is when you are sad
the most.

Who's glad they practiced? I AM!!! Last night was kinda crazy. It was only going to be a short quartet rehearsal, which turned into a dinner, and then me auditioning for community orchestra. okay, so, it's not really all that amazing that I got into this orchestra (considering some of the horn players I heard trying out) but it was more the reaction of the aujudicators. one of them said, "You brought down the house" ... wow... it wasn't that good, but if that's what he thinks, then great! There's just something about being told while you're in the room that you're accepted and that they're really glad that you auditioned. Ca c'est bon. 
Congratulations! You're Merry!

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! I don't know if today's supposed to be a happy holiday or one that's more solemn and thoughtful. Oh well...it sure has been a long time since I've updated...almost exactly 2 months! Wow...I guess not much has changed...except that I think I am less liked than before. For some reason I don't fit in here. I find it hard to make conversation with the neighbors and sometimes harder with my roommates. People that I thought I was somewhat friends with before break, seem so distant from me now...I don't know who I can trust here, or if there is anyone that I can trust (at school...my dearest friends are still there for me I know). Hmm...if it weren't for the amazing music school I think I'd prolly transfer, because it would be better economically and probably socially. But then I have to wonder if it would be any different at any other school...I don't know. And the thing that sometimes bothers me the most is that people don't even give me a chance to speak...when I start to talk everyone else talks and doesn't even seem to notice that I was talking...or someone will come in and people just pay attention to them and forget that I was even talking to them. I think I should just take it as a hint that people don't want to talk to me...but then I feel worse if everyone's out together in the living room and I just sit in my bedroom working. Well...it looks like this semester will be more working...and alienating myself from everyone else..plus it doesn't help that I'm not really into the whole drinking scene...'cause that's the big thing to do and if you don't then you're weird or boring.............why can't I meet anyone that's like my friends from back home? I need to meet someone here that I can call up and hang out with whenever and feel comfortable talking to them about anything. Well, whatever...this might pass....maybe one day I'll be cooler and part of the "club" but until then I suppose the best thing to do is just study and try to socialize as much as I can without getting in the way or pissing anyone off and being annoying. Isn't this pathetic? Well...talk to you later...maybe in a few months. Later.
8:53 am: Ah, yesterday was such a long day...full of writing and reading and studying....I don't know how I survived, or rather, how other people can manage to stay up so late everyday. My body just can't physically withstand sleep deprivation or long nights. Funny, hearing that come out of a college student. LOL, I even get upset with people who are making lots of noise past one. I think I'm going to end up being one of those grouchy old women who runs around with her broom shooing away the little kids at 8pm telling them to go to sleep and stop making noise 'cause it's late. Just Kidding :) Hmm...well, now that I have this out of the way I should start learning my pieces for Jury and for Music at Noon and mock auditions. So much music! But I love it...who could ask for a better job? Just listen and play music all day (yay :) I'm so happy!! I got my theory midterm back and I only missed 2 things! yay! an A!) I hope and wish so badly that when I'm older I can be around music all the time. I can't think of a better life...well, yes I can...I could be around music all the time, plus travel all over the world, plus make a lot of money and have a wonderful family. In my dreams...
