at first glance, this seems like a weird photo, and really it is, but not for the obvious reason of "why are her eyes closed?" but because the front seems very "pink" (hehe) but when you look over her shoulder, the windows are really not.
that probably made little sense.
welcome to my mind.

i need it to start raining again.
everything is cold and soggy and wet.
but the sun is shining.
mocking me.

Tragic Tidal Wave Hits Asia (click)

"The Associated Press Updated: 1:59 p.m. ET Dec. 26, 2004 JAKARTA, Indonesia - The world’s most powerful earthquake in 40 years struck deep under the Indian Ocean off the west coast of Sumatra on Sunday, triggering tidal waves up to 20 feet high that obliterated villages and seaside resorts in six countries across southern Asia. Nearly 10,000 people were killed in the devastation, and the death toll was expected to rise."

but who could that be?

So long and thanks for all the fish!

i bet there is a very sad little girl named Julie out there somewhere, crying because santa left her a giant pile of coal. that Julie is obviously not me. santa must have made a mistake, because he was very generous to me this year.

chirstmas at my house is all about presents. since i'm half jewish, half catholic, but actually its more like 90% jewish and 10% catholic. the tradition is to let hanukah be about the celebration and the whole history behind it, and christmas to just be to keep us kids rolling in presents ;-).
anyway... we got back from mammoth late last night, actually early this morning, then slept for a couple hours and then my little sisters because awake enough to comprehend Christmas Morning.
Christmas Morning at my house is a rampage of ripping off wrapping, everyone (even the kids) gulping down coffee, as me and my sisters are all dressed in similar pajamas, all in different colors.
I got really good presents this year...
-6 books... the FOUR books in the HitchHikers TRIOLGY, Dave Barry's History of the United States, and 511 Things Only Women Understand (like how one doughnut can magically shrink a pair of jeans) (a "bonding" present from my mom. ahh!)
-a great big makeup case (from a truely magical land: Costco)
-Gwen Stefani CD (and i had to play Rich Girl for my dad, because his faveorite soundtrack is Fiddler on the Roof)
then there were some other cool stuff (a sweater, 2 Tshirts, earrings...)
BUT BEST OF ALL
GILMORE GIRLS SEASON 2 on DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its awesome and amazing.

now i'm watching the Sound of Music (on disney, and theres a commercial every 6 minutes: the true spirit of Christmas.

i made cookies and brownies today... and because of tradition did not get out of my PJs AND went walking on the BEACH.
when i called my cousins in NY, i told them that the beach was very nice this time of year. aunt beth cursed because its 27 degrees there.

well i had a lovely christmas.
sara claims to be a modern day scrooge, but i tell her she's not cause scrooge wasnt jewish. she had a "bad xmas this year".

ok, i love you all,
joy, peace, love, and all that crap

and in the words of Steven Wright (famed comedian):
I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Sara in her element...

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

thank goodness school is out! exams are over!
spanish was good, geometry was amazing. almost certain A.
heres my winter break so far:
friday-- Winterfest! was brilliant! we had so much fun, and got pics taken with Ambercrombie Model Santa (ironically named Enrique!). bought great presents, for me and others... then came home and hung out with my little sisters and some movies.
Saturday-- morning got a great hair cut! well, it looks great straightened... but it wont last since i'm a curly girl. then in the afternoon, i babysat some little kids up my street, and came home to set up for our Holiday Party. it was fun. sara came over to help me be the DJ. all we did was load the music into iTunes and pressed repeat, then headed upstairs to my room with plates of desserts and yummies. much better than hanging out with boring adults.
Sunday-- me and sara saw the Incredibles with sam. then we went to babysit some little kids sara knows. ate pizza and watched "The Sound of Music". when i see that movie, i always sing along... and the little kids told me to shut up. i kept sining anyway. ha ha. then i selpt over at sara's house. we ate chocolate covered expresso beans.
Monday-- we slept till 10:30... got dressed, and went BEAD SHOPPING. then at home, I went to sleep almost immediatly.

now, i'm packing for Mammoth. i hate skiing. i suck at skiing. thank god we;re only going for 3 days. driving back on Christmas Eve. o joy o rapture.
i'm also wrapping xmas presents... and sleeping... and eating... and computering... so basically i'm being a lazy bum.
i give full permission to anyone to call me and shake me out of this boredom.

o and i bet your all waiting for update about previous post...
well, i've decided to trust her, if she says she's stopped, then i'll believe her.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
December 18th she says:
" wow well its one been a day and a half of break and ive already had an adventure!!!!
friday: went to the promonade with eryca. came home and watched the season fanaly of degrassi (omg we've lost sean!!!!!) then went over to sophia's....
at sophias: got drunk then road out bikes to some liquor store got a bum to buy us some jacks daniels and then he offered us some pot. then we rode out bikes to her friends work to get some more pot on our way ever i was singing oops i did it again (at the top of my lungs, like singing in the rain on halloween loud) past this x-mas tree lot and all the workers were cat calling us (i dont remember that but sophia said that they were) we got to her friends work got the stuff and then went to the beach got high and made sand angels went back to her house and smoked the rest of what she had and then i went home.
today: watched all my blondie movies (greatest video hits and vh1 behind the music) and listened to hanaa's cd, talke dto people.... then say play it again sam as i was leaving play it again sam i saw moosa we talked and than i left.

i have the feeling this is gonna be a superb break!!!!!!
oh btw just so now its out in the clear, this was my last time smoking pot i will never do it again, wanna know why cus i promissed my friend julie. julie says that pot is bad and i will make really stupid dessisions while high and so i shall never doit again or else i will lose her and a friend and i really do not want that..

peace, love and happiness"
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

so now i'm listening to "Last Christmas" the Jimmy Eat World version.

"Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I’ll give it to someone special."

Happy Holidays everybody.

a major dilema

hey...
heres a problem that a friend of mine has...
if you have any input, leave a comment, email me, or talk to me at skool... watever,
just major advice needed.

a friend of mine did pot a couple months ago. she told me it was only a one time thing.
then she did it a couple more times...
when i started getting worried, she started making promises.
now she's doing it again.
when i said "didnt you promise me you werent going to do pot/"
she says "i realise that i broke that prosmis to you, but to tell you the truth its not going to happen again cus i do it anymore if i want to keep playing volleyball"
i say "i dont care that you broke a promise to me, its alot more important than that"
then she asks "speaking of which what nights do you practice?"

i said "we'll talk about that later.
i'm not even sure what to tell you
i want to tell you that your being a stupid ass, but thats the wrong way to go about it.
then i could list all the reasons its bad. but you've heard all those before.
i could remind you about my friends in NY, who nearly OD last year."

then of course, she relieves all my worry (sarcasm) by saying "and its fin julie, i made the stupid mistake of doing it a cupple times. but i have now found my "anti-drug" not to sound corny or anything but i wont be doing it any more and ive also given up drinking."

o ya. theres a whole load of shit i dont need right now.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Santee Alley Happy SHOES!

so the spanish exam was great, but the reading comp was really hard.
i think i did really well.
score, julie!
all thats left are ERBs (wich dont count, so no pressure) and Geometry exam.
i'm feeling really comfortable with that, and i've actually been getting A's all year in math.

so after the exam today,
my mom picked me up, and we went to Santee Alley for holiday shopping.
i got the MOST AMAZING shoes ever!
yellow/black polka dot ballet flats, i'm in love with them. and they were $7!
i also got a great pair of electric blue heels, like 2 inches, with sequin butterflies on them. theres are brilliant, completely cool!

and guess what...
me and my mom were in a craft store, and there was a basket with feather boas in it. we started looking thro them, and my mom bought me a really cool electric blue one!
have i mentioned electric blue is my new faveorite color? but honestly, boas are COOL. every girl should own a feather boa.
if i were president, that would be a law. scary thought. oooo.

now i'm totally relaxing. i cashed the $80 check i got for babysitting on saturday.
tip for all people who may grow up and someday employ a babysitter:
DONT pay them in checks. that requires going to the BANK.
how often do 14 year olds go to the bank? i'll tell you, not very often.

any way... so now i have mulah for winterfest! i'm so excited!
and i'm going to larchmont for lunch tomorrow btw exams... i'm thinking jamba cause i have 2 cards.
and everyone and anyone is welcome to come with.
i'm in a party mood!

i'm actually going to go upstairs and do some crazy dancing to Whitney Houstan (pre-cocain) or maybe Sugarcult.
wow, 2 ends of the spectrum there.
and yes, many of you will gasp in horror of Whitney Houstan, but i have some weird attration to it. i know, tré uncool. but i will also admit to haveing the Greatest Hits CD.

CHECK MY INSANE COOL sITE, nerds! (click here) (then click on JULIE)

HEY!

how bout we all go to my incredibly cool site, just to make me feel really super specail?!
(http://student.marlboroughschool.org/DigitalGraphicArts/DGA04-05/sectionb/index.html)

blah...
i just left sara the longest message on her phone... but she's AT DISNEYLAND
she still owes me a disneyland trip!
on the message, i sang her a really cool song i just made up about how i hate the spanish language and most of all my exam on tuesday. YES< TUESDAY!.
and how i should be in a muscial, like Annie, because my parents have gone off somewhere. they were gone when i woke up at 11 this morning. and then they dont have their cells on.

i babysat until 1 AM yesterday. and they asked me to come over again, at 2:30... BLAH

at least i;'m getting paid.

o ya! and Gilmore Girls DVD season 2 came out YESTERDAY!!!!!!!

so when your there, you'll have to click on the key that say "JULIE" since that is my name.

gary larson, raindrops, and dave barry

i'm sitting here, doing spanish flash cards on iFlash.
i just finished my current event on women being raped in Darfur.
before that, i went to volleyball practice, me and sara left early because
BEFORE practice, we had Hanukah.
we said the prayers. its a miracle i remember them from last year. i used to sing them all year long when i was little because they sounded pretty to me.
we lit the candles and gave presents. we try to spread out the presents every night.
tonight i got a hanging post-it in a shape of a dress from kim. its kind of hard to describe, but its cute.
we, as a family of crazed lunatics, bought a huge box of every Gary Larson comic every written since 1980. its in 2 huge volumes, leather bound with really glossy pages in a cool gift box.
my dad teased us before we unwrapped it and said it was to start off our encyclopedia collection.
he's wanted a full set for us since we were little. says he had a blast when he was young just flipping to random pages and reading weird words. i told him he could just google them now. and he sighs and mumbles.
i told him, if he's going to start an encyclopedia, give me the J Book. so i can look up something interesting to say when i'm forced to play the name game. he just sighs again.

so now i'm in my bike shorts and sweatshirt, typing this. and a headband with spinning things on it that sara gave me today. my knee pads are cutting off circulation in my thighs, but i wont pull them to my ankels because they're too warm. its raining out. i love the rain. i had a complete blow out today with my camera. i came home and it was pouring, so i went for a walk and took some amazing pics of clouds and rain. sara says my obsessions with rain and clouds arent weird, its just Julie.

i've done enough spainsih so i think i'll go upstairs and read some Dave Barry before bed.

i've had a lot of stuff lately...
been really stressed out.
it all kind of wineded down today, i just have to get thro.
i had a history quiz, where i had to know all the countries in africa, which i left till last night. so stupid. i think i got a B, maybe a B+. so i did pretty well.
then, i had my english Mid Summer Nights Dream presentation. me and maya did pretty well. i was happy that we got imediate grades, meaning Tonnu graded us on the spot.
i got a 29/30. wich was good cause i worked my ass off on that.
next period, i have a Geo test. its Ch. 5, again. the class as an average got 79% so, we went back and relearned everything, and now its an easier test. or at least it should be.
i have volleyball practice tonight. at calvary i think, but i'm not sure.

anway...
laura (my little sister) had her day at marlboro yesterday.
she loved it, and had so much fun. i think the skools a really good choice for her.
i'm ok with it, really i am, so dont try to "shrink" me on it.

on sunday, i went to sara's holiday concert thing. she was the only one in her chior actually smiling (its all that mr kay training!) but they were really good anyway.
sam, quinn, and leland (and jed) all played... and where really good. leland looked really hot, all moody and he's a great sax player.

this is turning out to be a really long post.
and i havent even gotten to the part where i tell the world that i truely think there is something wrong with me.

i just cant seem to be happy. i have such a good life. amazing opertunitys at this skool, i'm smart, and i'm actually not as gruesome looking as i make myself out to be. so why do i feel like the world wont let me into its secret club?

Disney Movie night

i've been having a water-themed disney movie night.... first little mermaid, then finding nemo, now pocohantus
yes, i know... many of you would ask how is pocohantus a water movie?
well, it is completely a water movie.
for starters, one of the best songs in the movie "just around the river bend" is obvisouly about water. and poco and john smith meet in a river.
and theres a lot of hidden symbolism.
to start with the most obvious...
the coloners come on SHIPs that sail ON WATER.
pocohantus has to chose whether to take the safe river fork, "steady as the beating drum" and marry Kokuum or be adventuros and figure out wat her dream with the spinning arrow means.
and theres a constant metaphor of things always chaging and how you can never step in the same river twice, because the rivers always flowing.
and this is just the water symbols. i could write a million words on Poco/Smith meeting and Colors of the Wind song.... (Have YOU ever asked the grinning bob cat, why he grins?)

if you dont understand what i;m saying, you are either, very stupid or your are the kind of person who doesnt like disney movies. i can tell. i have to anayliz mine and it all means everything.
i live my life by disney, no joke.

dont even get me started on Little Mermaid symbolism.

anyway... i'm just saying "Wingapo" (pocohanuts-ese for hello).

sneezes, science, and showers.

brentwood dance friday...
they're normally ok. not the greatest, but its a place to go.
and i kinda feel like dancing so it should be fun.
going to natalie's house before.
i like getting ready for parties even more than going to them...
i think its the primping and the whole stepping out of whole ugly uniform and feeling pretty,
and being with people who are finally not stressing about science or history.

today in history i had a back spazzm (sp).
i couldnt move up or down to sit or stand and when i leaned forward i had shooting pains all thro my spine.
kinda scary, but i've gone to the chiro and it was just inflamation from my falling down a flight of stairs.
yes, thats me.
theres a reason why they dont call me
the Coordinated Sprinkle Fairy.

any way...
still have the sneezes.
and i still have science homework.
and i still have to take a shower.
wow, ms tonnu would be so proud of my semi-alliteration.

nighty night.

...once again in DA

in Digital Arts...
3 minutes till spanish quiz.
club VB practice was good on tuesday.
brentwood dance maybe tomorrow.
sara's concert and VB pract. on sunday.
saturday i'm homeworking and wrapping presents.
hanukah starts next week i think.
everyone cant wait till break, even tho we just had one.
ok, i gotta hurry or i'll be really late.
but dr. reins doesnt give.

and a

never mind.

saved by the bell.
