So yeah, the cycle just continues to repeat itself and for the upteenth time in this life, I have taken and abandoned my blog/journal/whatever that I try to keep here at LJ.... I know it, you know it... we all do...
But since then, I have a lot to talk about, and not only about books!, but in keeping with the theme that I was trying to keep last time, I'll continue with that....
But since then, I have a lot to talk about, and not only about books!, but in keeping with the theme that I was trying to keep last time, I'll continue with that....
Ok , just as I said 2 blogs ago, I'm going to start talking books!!!!! At least once a week, I will talk about the books on the list that I talked about a few blogs ago, So this will become my segment... and maybe it will even become a vlog segment (have not decided totally...)
And to make it more fun, I will make it from the most current book, down to the list.... (which right now is about 100 books, and a lot of which I dont remember the title...)
So, to start, I'm going to start talking about the latest book I have read, called "Looking for Alaska"
Somehow I felt myself obliged to read the book because:
1.- It's an award-winning book that everyone said that it was great, that they related with the characters and all that stuff
2.- It was written by John Green, one of the two original Vlogbrothers and original Nerdfighter.
And a few times I was tempted to buy it, but somehow something else catched my eye everytime, so it wasnt top priority on my "to-read" list. Until about 2 weekends ago...
I was bored, broke and alone, so I decided to go to the library, mainly because I wanted to look if they had "13 little blue envelopes" (I will talk about that one later....), and to my luck, I was able to find Looking for Alaska, so I decided to take it with me, and find out why all the buzz.
And I have to admit it wasnt my cup of tea.....
It was a good book, but compared to other YA books that I love and have read, it didnt raise to my expectations.... Maybe if I had read the book when I was 17 - 20, I would have loved the book, but maybe because I'm older, I cant really say that was able to see myself on the characters... there where moments that I did, but not really....
What I have to say, is that it was a very real book... That was the thing that got me hooked and pushed me to read until the end, because, I have been known to abandon books if they are not good/exciting/or cool. So yeah, the words didnt feel like it was fiction, it felt more like I was reading the chronicle of something happening on that same instant a thousand miles away, which not a lot of authors can do that while getting you really into the story.
I wont be reviewing the books, because I feel that a book should be experienced by oneself and not to live it thru someone else's words... so, I would say, go read "Looking for Alaska" by John Green, and then tell me what you think.
And another thing.... I wont be making one single blog per book, some I will combine, some not... will depend on how much I loved/hated the book....
more books next week!

Why can February just end???????? It's not a good month for me....
And today was one of those days...
First, at work the machines have this weird knack that you have to update your password every month (thing that I absolutely, positively hate), and somehow, after changing all the upteen thousand passwords I use, none of them work, so I wasted 1 hour trying to fix everything.... which put me on a bad mood, especially because the people on the help line where all "Did you just called about 20 minutes ago with the same issue????" so yeah, no one likes that at 6 am!!
Second, my cousin's wife car got stolen........ from our driveway.... That scared me a lot because about 2 weeks ago, I found out that someone had broken into my car (fortunatelly, they didnt find anything worth stealing....)
And third........ I washed my Ipod........ I noticed that my pants were dirty, so I decided to throw a load into the washing machine.... and somehow I forgot to check the pockets of my jeans.... and after the cycle was done, I remembered that my ipod needed charging...... so, I looked for it on my purse.. no, not there....... looked for it on my bed...... nope....... Then something said "It's in your pants", so there I ran to the washing machine, and lo and behold, the ipod was on the washer... I havent turned on yet, I did blow-dry it a couple of times, and left it beside the laptop fan in hopes that it will work and I wont have to spend my money in a new ipod.... I love Pigwidgeon too much!!!! (yeah, that's the name of my ipod...)
Luckily, my brother's email cheered me up like crazy!!!!! Even when he isnt here, and that he cannot talk to me or IM me like we used to do while I was in college, he always brings a huge smile to my face..... and this time he didnt let me down....
Ok... in another news.........
In the last post, I talked about me doing a list of all the books I have read..... and somehow it has been quite a difficult task, mainly because I remember the book, but I dont remember the title.... so I'm still making my list, so I wont talk about that for at least a couple of more posts....
BTW, if you ever feel the urge of do something crazy and completely out of norm (but dont have the time or money to do it....) go and read "13 little blue envelopes" by Maureen Johnson.......... It is awesome!!!

Ok, rather short entry in here....
This weekend I went back home, 1) because I felt that I needed to regenerate my Awesome at home..... somehow there is a lack of awesome here in Tucson, and 2) I just bough Mario Party 8, and I was desperate to use it on my wii (PS, it rocks!!!!)
And while I was with my dad one evening, he asked me this question....
"Do you know how many books have you read in your life????" and "Which book would you read again?"
And that got me thinking... I need to make a list!!!!
I made a list of all the books I read, but I did that back when I was a freshmen in college, and from there up to now, I have read even more books, so my next post will also include a section where I will talk about the book list challenge....
So, for now, I have to list all the books I have read....
See?? Can I get more nerdfighter than this???? Well maybe... if I decided to catalogue all those books, I would get more nerdfightery, but sadly, a lot of books where either never returned to me, or I never owned them (I used to borrow a lot of books.... that's what you do when you are broke...)

Seriously......... WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER????????????????
Ok, let me give you the whole story....
Ever since I started working, I have been living with my cousin, his wife and their daughter for 2 reasons; reason # 1 - I dont earn the sufficient money to be living on my own, since rent, utilities and all that stuff in here is rather pricey and reason # 2 - Let's just say that they needed help getting by with the bills and stuff and needed some extra money....
At first, all 3 of us worked, I worked the earliest shitf (6 am thru 2:30 pm), my cousin a regular shift (8 thru 5) and her worked the night shift ( 3 thru 12), so all of us would be in the house at diferent times, and we lived in peace, nobody got on the way of anyone.
The bad thing is that I love to cook. and I prefer 10 times to cook something than to eat out, while she (who has proven many times that she doesnt have the cooking ability) prefers to order or buy food. So naturally, I started to buy materials and stuff for my cooking and other stuff. And lets just say, that stuff keeps disappearing....
First, my food..... All the stuff I bought she started "using" and usually would end up in the trash, because either she would forget that she took the meat out of the freezer and left it on top for 3 days, or she would "cook" something that no one (not even her) would even dare to touch.
Second, my cooking utencils.... When I arrived, I noticed that all her kitchen stuff was useless, her spatulas are bent, burnt or otherwise useless, her knives do no even cut butter, are dented (like if someone tried to cut rocks with them), so I decided that we needed new stuff, new pots, new pans, new knife and all that stuff... And somehow, my pots are useless (dont ask me what she did with them, but let's just say that everything that you cook on one of those pots will get either burnt or will have a weird taste.... she cooked a chicken on one of them and she forgot that she had cooked the chicken, left for the weekend and obviously it rotted, hense the smell..) and she "dissappeared" my knife..... I suspect that she rendered useless too and threw it on the trash so I coudnt find out....
Now, I was discovered that she cleaned the fridge, and because she doesnt like them, threw away my jar of pickles that was brand new!!!!!!!, So now, either, I buy me a mini-fridge to put on my room, or find a decent place to live that would adjust to my budget (which is not that much....)
Ok, enough rant.... PLEASE VOTE ON THE POLL!! It's all for something cool!!!!

I was rewatching Curious George again today.... the first time I watched it, was because it was the only kids movie on the theater and mom and dad really wanted to watch a movie by themselves, and because Jack Johnson did the soundtrack...
And today, suddenly I realized something........ I have big crush on "the guy with the yellow hat"......
I mean, come on!!! He is a cartoon, and he wears yellow all the time... but I find him hot!!!
Seriously, I'm losing my mind here.....

Ok, I know, no need to tell me that I procrastinate too much... but I do...
In part I knew I hadnt updated in quite a while because I didnt have that much to say, and I still dont have that much to say, but the good thing is that I know have where and how to say it.
Apparently, I like myself a little bit too much, so for Christmas I auto-gifted myself a laptop, so I dont have to rely on someone else's computer to do my stuff online, so it's a big relief for me and for that other person...
The other thing, is that i have to do my year wrap-up, and since it was a pretty interesting year, I do have a lot to talk about, so, as usual, I will break it down in pieces.
- Family
2007 was an eventful year within my family because 2 people really close to me had really important birthdays. First it was my lil sis, who turned 8 this March, and according to our beliefs, got baptized and became a new member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, it was a really amazing experience, I got to show off my lack of skills on the piano by playing a children's hymn... the only thing missing was my brother, who is still away on his church mission (and who returns this june!!!!!! SQUEE!!!), so if you live near Azusa, CA, and you see a big guy with a white shirt, black pants and a tie riding a bike, say hi to him, that is probably him....
Next one was my dad, who, likes it or not, has recently turned 50, but if you see him, you would think he is only 50 (lol), and we did had a big thing planned out for his birthday, because nobody could get on the same page on what to do, we ended up not doing much, but it was still a good birthday.
- Harry Potter
Obviously, 2007 was the year of the Potter, no one can deny that, and sadly, I know it's a year that will hardly repeat again (specially since there wont be any more HP books to wait for.... unless you count the "scotish book"....)
And I do not want to say again what I have said before, so if you are interested in knowing about that, please go back a few post, and you will find all I had to say about this (especially around June, July and August....)

This year was a really turning point for me... From my college graduation, to becoming staff at the Leaky Galleries, getting my first job, supporting myself without the help of mom and dad and basically turning everything upside down, it's weird to realize all the things that can be done and that can happen in a year.
To think that by this time last year (that sounds weird... I still cannot believe that we are in 2008....), I was at home, taking a year off, having finished with college by that time, and just lounging around, and to think how far I have come.
I know I still have a lot to accomplish, because like someone who is just starting to live on the real life, I have encountered myself with a lot of things that I dont like, or that I wish were a lot different, but that I cannot do anything, because it's not on my control, and I'm slowly learning not to focus on that, on the stuff I dont have a say in, but I'm still glad to have all my HP friend, my friends from high school and college to talk with over IM or Skype to make me realize that the world is not bad, and that eventually, I will do what I want, I just have to hang in there.
So that is my resolution (ok, the only one that I can really openly can share....) to hang in there, because I know that even when I have seen better days, this is just only for a while, and that better things are just around the corner.

optimistic - Music:SB emails.....
I have been reading thru my blog, and lately I just seem to use it to vent and say not-so-happy stuff......... this is going to change now!!!!!! And in old tradition, it's going to be breakdown by subjects......
- Books
Ok, I admit that I had been in a book dry-spell since Deathly Hallows, not wanting to read anything else, almost in fear that any other book would overshadow the cool sensation of knowing and enjoying DH as much as I did, and about a month or so, I broke the spell...
I had bought "The golden compass" since September, once I knew that the movie was going to come out in december, because I have this weird knack that if I know that a certain movie that looks good is based in a book, I like to read the book before I see the movie, but I hadnt read it until a few days ago, and I like it! It's good, not great, and I may not agree with their atheism ideas, but at least it's not as bad as other books I have read previously.
Then yesterday, I went to Waldenbooks and bought "I am America (and so can you!)" by Stephen Colbert, who I find funny as hell, and since the book was half off, I coudnt resist, and I do not regret buying it because it's hilarious!!!!!! I may not be able to be involved in US politics, but you cannot deny this guy is funny.
So now that I have gotten back into my old reading habits, I'm really looking forward reading the Eclipse novels (at least I think that's what they are called... I'm not sure... all I know is that is the story of a vampire who is in love with a mortal girl...), one of John Green books (either Looking for Alaska or An Abundance of Katherines....) and the rest of the Narnia books I havent read (I got stuck after The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.....)
- Holidays
Ok, today officially the holidays begin....
I'm not that big on Thanksgiving, mainly because I have lived in Mexico for most of my life, my family is mexican, and you do have to admit that Thanksgiving is a pure USA holiday....
So today, I am alone at the house, even when the wife of my cousin invited me to go to her parent's house for dinner, but a) I dont really know her family and b) I have to go to work tomorrow at 6 am..... And it's weird even to have a day off in the middle of the week when you have nothing to celebrate and you know that your family considers this day as the same as the other 29 days in november, nothing spectacular or special.....
But this also marks the beginning of the terrors.....
The terrors of "what the heck am I going to buy for my mom/dad/brother/sister/gramma/aunt/cousi n/cousin's wife/niece for Christmas????"
Ok, so far, check on brother and sister........ Bro is going to get a baseball hat (just as he likes...) and my sister anything that has to do with either Zac Efron or High School Musical is good for her (she's getting a dancing mat with the HSM songs.... ala DDR)
Gramma is going to get a nice set of robe and slippers and my aunt is getting a set from Bath and Body works, my cousin's are getting movies and my niece a stuffed bear (she is only one, that is enough for her).
The problem are mom and dad............ I have to get mom a nice gift because I didnt get her anything for her birthday, and dad has to get 2 gifts, one for Christmas and one for his b-day which is on december 29th........., so I have NO IDEA!!!!!! any suggestions are welcome!
- Work and Life
Ok, on the work front everything is going good so far, until next month when everything gets crazy.... It gets crazy because the people beyond age 70 and 1/2 need to take some money out of their retirement accounts because the IRS requires them to do it, so they start calling asking what do they have to do to get their money.
And it's the season of overdrawn accounts and lost cards.... so we are getting ready for the tons of calls we will expect from angry customers whose card is being declined for the 5th time just because they spent all the money on their accounts and suddenly it all becomes my fault and I need to fix it NOW because it is the last red Power Ranger in all the city and they HAVE to buy it or they lost their card in the mall and they need a card in that same instant..... believe me.... Now I know why goblins run Gringotts.... you need to be really feisty and know how to deal with confrontation to be in something like that...
My life is going good.... My excitement over Terminus has renewed itself!!!!!! I cannot wait to buy my plane tickets and book my hotel room and specially figure out who my roomates are going to be (well, at least I know Shawna and I are going to be in the same room.... that's a given!)
Ok, so that's it for me, so have a good weekend, and enjoy your turkey leftovers!

I had bought "The golden compass" since September, once I knew that the movie was going to come out in december, because I have this weird knack that if I know that a certain movie that looks good is based in a book, I like to read the book before I see the movie, but I hadnt read it until a few days ago, and I like it! It's good, not great, and I may not agree with their atheism ideas, but at least it's not as bad as other books I have read previously.
Then yesterday, I went to Waldenbooks and bought "I am America (and so can you!)" by Stephen Colbert, who I find funny as hell, and since the book was half off, I coudnt resist, and I do not regret buying it because it's hilarious!!!!!! I may not be able to be involved in US politics, but you cannot deny this guy is funny.
So now that I have gotten back into my old reading habits, I'm really looking forward reading the Eclipse novels (at least I think that's what they are called... I'm not sure... all I know is that is the story of a vampire who is in love with a mortal girl...), one of John Green books (either Looking for Alaska or An Abundance of Katherines....) and the rest of the Narnia books I havent read (I got stuck after The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.....)
- Holidays
Ok, today officially the holidays begin....
I'm not that big on Thanksgiving, mainly because I have lived in Mexico for most of my life, my family is mexican, and you do have to admit that Thanksgiving is a pure USA holiday....
So today, I am alone at the house, even when the wife of my cousin invited me to go to her parent's house for dinner, but a) I dont really know her family and b) I have to go to work tomorrow at 6 am..... And it's weird even to have a day off in the middle of the week when you have nothing to celebrate and you know that your family considers this day as the same as the other 29 days in november, nothing spectacular or special.....
But this also marks the beginning of the terrors.....
The terrors of "what the heck am I going to buy for my mom/dad/brother/sister/gramma/aunt/cousi
Ok, so far, check on brother and sister........ Bro is going to get a baseball hat (just as he likes...) and my sister anything that has to do with either Zac Efron or High School Musical is good for her (she's getting a dancing mat with the HSM songs.... ala DDR)
Gramma is going to get a nice set of robe and slippers and my aunt is getting a set from Bath and Body works, my cousin's are getting movies and my niece a stuffed bear (she is only one, that is enough for her).
The problem are mom and dad............ I have to get mom a nice gift because I didnt get her anything for her birthday, and dad has to get 2 gifts, one for Christmas and one for his b-day which is on december 29th........., so I have NO IDEA!!!!!! any suggestions are welcome!
- Work and Life
Ok, on the work front everything is going good so far, until next month when everything gets crazy.... It gets crazy because the people beyond age 70 and 1/2 need to take some money out of their retirement accounts because the IRS requires them to do it, so they start calling asking what do they have to do to get their money.
And it's the season of overdrawn accounts and lost cards.... so we are getting ready for the tons of calls we will expect from angry customers whose card is being declined for the 5th time just because they spent all the money on their accounts and suddenly it all becomes my fault and I need to fix it NOW because it is the last red Power Ranger in all the city and they HAVE to buy it or they lost their card in the mall and they need a card in that same instant..... believe me.... Now I know why goblins run Gringotts.... you need to be really feisty and know how to deal with confrontation to be in something like that...
My life is going good.... My excitement over Terminus has renewed itself!!!!!! I cannot wait to buy my plane tickets and book my hotel room and specially figure out who my roomates are going to be (well, at least I know Shawna and I are going to be in the same room.... that's a given!)
Ok, so that's it for me, so have a good weekend, and enjoy your turkey leftovers!

You know how sometimes, you have off-days???? Well... this is one of them....
For starters, I dont know where I left my ipod.... It's a miracle that I hadnt lost it before considering how small it is... but I miss it.. I want my music... so, if anyone has seen or knows where my ipod is, please tell me...
Second, today at work we had our first day handling another type of calls... now I dont just deal with retirement account, but I do have to deal with the VIP clients, and let's just say it was not my day..... I felt frustated at work because nothing was going my way... I felt really out of my element, and I know it wasnt my best, but I sincerely hope that everything goes better tomorrow...
So, if anyone knows of something that can make me laugh (because I really need it), please tell me...
PS. Congrats Kimmy!!!!!! Like a good procrastinator, I always leave it till the end, but I do not want to let go to the oportunity

I'M WAY TOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED ABOUT TERMINUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I cannot hide the fact that i feel like a 4 year old everything I think about Terminus.... It may be the fact that this is my very first Harry Potter conference, because someway or another, I hadnt been able to go to a previous one, because either a wedding, a college graduation, life or money issues got in the way (I'm even surprised that I was able to go and see PotterCast and Harry and the Potters this summer), so now that I'm all ready to go to Terminus (or from here after dubbed Dawlish) and show my true colors.
But all this excitement brings a lot of doubts and questions to me, like, where am I going to sleep???? I have clues of who do I want to room, but, do I have to book a room? WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO????????????? There is nothing worse for me to go to a place and not knowing what to do/wear/say/hear/etc.... I'm socially handicapped, so to be a really shy person who does all that isnt supposed to do is my worst nightmare....
Ok, let's just get away from that and let's continue....
So today I got an email with the house I belong... Ever since they announced that Sue was going to be the head of the house of Pampero, I seriously crossed my fingers that I got sorted into her house, even when it didnt totally fit my profile or anything... afterwards I read a little bit about the other houses, and one immediately struck me.
And that house was Kohilo.... Starting with the name, which indicates something coming from the Pacific Islands, which being born and raised in a place where the Pacific Ocean is really close, naturally feels really familiar, and then the description of being calm peaceful people with inquisitive minds, that totally said "THIS is your house", and in fact, I'm a Kohilo member!!!... I still regret not being in Sue's house, but I dont doubt I will hang out with her a lot!
Ok, I think that's it.... more to come later....

PS. Sue... I love ya girl!!! There is no better Hufflepuff than you!!! Life always get better....

Guess what?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I HAVE MY TICKET FOR TERMINUS!!!!!!! (or Dawlish, whatever you like....)
I always buy a gift from me to me on my birthday and also in christmas, and this time, I had no clue of what to give myself that someone else hadnt given me yet, so, after a few days it became clear.... my entrance to Terminus!
So today I bought my ticket, and everything, but I still have a lot of doubts and questions.... I seriously wish there was a guide for first-timers in HP conferences, so I'm calling out all of those who have gone to one, so they can tell me the stuff I need to know... any kind of feedback is welcomed!!!!!
I'm extremately excited about this, because I know I will get to know a lot of people, listen to another live PotterCast (you cant never get enought live PotterCast), and I'm hoping that they have at least 1 wizrock group in there..... I CANNOT WAIT!!!! And I sincerely hope that I will get to be in Sue's house
And talking about my fave Hufflepuff Princess (who is one really smart cookie too!), I have to say a huge THANK YOU to all my gals at
gallerycast, first because their show ROCKS!! I love their show, and even if I get a little behind (damn you sucky wifi signal...), it still makes my day every time that I listen to it, and this last show is very special for me, just because 3 of my fave people in the world wished me a happy birthday, and that is bound to make any girl happy!
THANK YOU JULES, MIRANDA AND SUE!!!!!!!!! You're the best!!!!!
So that's all from me.... know I will wait to hear from you!

- Location:Tucson... had to work on saturday...
- Mood:
Really Happy - Music:just the tv (and me singing Flushed...)
Well, today is my birthday (technically it is.... because i'm in Arizona, and in here it's just 10:31 pm...), and I can say that it was a good one...
Fortunately, it wasnt like other b-days in the past, where I have to celebrate myself because everyone is so busy and/or far away to plan something cool and nice to do, so this year, i was glad that it was different.
First of all, I got the day off!!! Well... not totally, because I will have to go to work on saturday, but that doesnt bug me, specially when my normal schedule will include saturdays, so i'm ok with that... So that was a great thing, not to have to deal with people and their money and stuff.... it was just my day
Second, I FINALLY GOT A WII!!!!!!!!!!!!! After a year of incesant begs, sly comments, open suggestions and flat out direct indirects, I got it!!!! And it is awesome!!!! The only bad thing is that it has to stay at my parents house, so I only got to play with it for half an hour, and my sister is going to enjoy my gift even more than i will, which is not good.... and because I will not be able to go to my home next weekend, I will have to wait 2 weeks to play again (which does give me plenty of time to buy the OotP game!!!)
I had an awesome time with my family, starting with the fact that my gramma finally taught me how to do flour tortillas (which is the best present I could have gotten from her ever!), dad made a superb carne asada, complete with guacamole, salsa, my tortillas, and a really strawberries and creme cake!! So I will have an awesome lunch at work tomorrow because I got to bring a lot of that back here
So, thank you too for making my day awesome, thanks for all the good wishes, they just made my day brighter and funner too!!
There is nothing left for me to say but this: Goodbye 22-year-old Danae... you accomplished a lot of things! You got a college degree and managed to get your first job, and a lot of other cool experiences... you rocked, and I, the 23 year old me, promise to make it a way lot better than you (nananananana)
Again, thank you!!!!!

Today was a loooooooooooooooooooong day....
Many of you know that I have a job now, and that it is in a call center, where I have to deal with people from 8 till 4:30...
So, today was my first day on the phones... for the last 3 weeks (and monday and tuesday of this week) we had had our training classes, so we didnt deal with people and stuff, so we just focused on learning the stuff we have to say to the customers...
And today, being the first time and all, I drove there 30 minutes earlier, just to make sure I was going to be there on time, then my stomach woudnt calm down, i felt the most horrible butterflies I had ever felt in my life!, and that is saying something specially having danced in front of thousands of people during my folkloric dancer period, sang in front of a big audience, speaked for my whole high school generation and a lot of that stuff, and it doesnt even match how I feel today...
So, it's 8:30, and it's time to take that infamous "First call", so it comes thru, and i get this lady from another company, asking for something I do know front and back, but I got totally blank, and the call ends up getting to a supervisor, because apparently I dont know how to do my job.....
The second call I felt much more calm, and it was an easy one, so that took away a lot of the jitters and stuff... but still, I felt like I wanted to cry of desperation, scream of anger and frustation, jump for joy that I really was doing "good"....
I know I messed up a lot on the stuff I said (or did), but they have to expect that because, hello, it's my first day.... Even my temporary manager told us that he felt like barfing on his first day... I just wished I was able to skip all this... it's not something you enjoy...
So, wish me luck that tomorrow I dont screw up as badly as I did today....
PS. 12 days to go!!!! squee!!!!!

Yay!!!
I got paid today!!!!!!
And since I have found out how much i'm going to get each 2 weeks, I have come to the conclusion that I have enough money for a few "luxuries", which is nice....
So, onto the questions....
Is anyone going to go to Terminus 2008??? (or must commonly known as Dawlish 08 in the LL....)
Because of this things:
1.- I dont want to buy a ticket, and found out later that everyone is going to Portus or some other conference
2.- I want to start thinking of who I am going to hang out and room with when I'm there
3.- It's my first conference, and i dont know a thing about how this is done or anything and I dont want to look like a doofus....
So, any tips and people going, just give me a shout out or send me an email....
Thanks!

Hello LJ-tizens!!!!
It's nice to talk to you again....
This is to, again, report of my doings (and messes) I have done lately, and just like I have done on past post, I will divide everything on subjects...
- Leaky
I feel really out of the loop... And it's hard to feel that way when you check everyday the website and everything, but somehow, I think that my job is taking away all the time I devoted to being on the Lounge or on TLC, so I feel like I'm no longer "on the know".... I just have to get in sync with my job and this, so I can feel comfortable again.
And what I'm most sad about is the fact that i'm really behind on PotterCast!!!!! I mean, for me, missing out an episode was sacrilegious (or something like that...), and know that i'm about 5 behind, i feel really bad...
- Friends
I really miss them all
The fact of not being able to talk to my Leaky friends or the GG's on skype is bad.... Not being able to talk to my best friends is worse... I hate the fact that everyone is on diferent things knows, so we havent seen each other since graduation.....
And all of this is even more heavy when you really want to talk to someone and no one is online or available....
Talking about the GG's.... I think they are the ones i miss the most, specially since they were the ones that made me laugh and really made my day way much better, so now, when I cannot even get time to be a part of the coolness that is GalleryCast, I miss them even more... at least I get to hear them when I do go home...
- Job
This is the second week, and it's good....
I'm getting more confident about what i'm supposed to do, and who and with I'm going to work with, so I have really mixed feelings... right now everything seems kinda easy because we are just in training, but once we hit the floor, I know i'm going to freeze on that first call....
At least the pay is great and it's a really rockin' place to work...
- Me
I'm fine... i'm healthy, I have food.
My car is at home, because dad didnt allow me to bring it with me until they had done a full oil change and some other things to the car (which really means that he wants to drive it since it's a stick shift car, and according to him, it's much more fun to drive than his Explorer....)
On the social life front, everything is clear.... Since i'm fairly new to the city, I dont really know people in here that arent my family, so weekends have been fairly boring.... because even when there are a lot of cool places to go, it's not cool to go to those places alone...
Ok, see ya later guys, love ya!

Quick update on a few things....
- Job
Everything is great! I'm having lot's of fun on this place! I mean, who else would pay me that good for just go, sit and listen to someone explain some things about IRA's.... and we get to laugh, and kid around, and be in a really cool place....
BTW... some of my teammates looks a lot likes some GG's I know... specially a girl who I would swear that it was Kimmy, and a woman who looks exactly like Jules twin (not Miranda...)
- Car
It turns out that the Dodge Neon was a really bad car....
Since it wasnt ready for me to take it to job this week because they had to fix the title and some other stuff, my parents were the ones who were looking on the car.... it turned out that the car was from a guy with no papers to be in the US, and he got caught because he crashed/drowned the car.... so instead of leaving, he sold the car...
So they decided not to buy that car, and they had told me they got me a Ford Contour 97, green...... oh, well, at least I will have my own car, and I wont have to drive my mom's minivan to work.... I feel weird to be in a car that comes included with food stains and a booster chair and it's just me driving...
- Me
I'm ok... this change is a bit hard... but it's just the first days...
I do admit I have been having trouble to really get what they are "teaching" us, but I think that's because the room is not that great to be locked for 8 hours every day...
So, that's it......
PS. Kimmy!!!!!! Feliz Cumpleaños!!!!!!! (I had forgot to say it in spanish.... duh)

Your the shy one of the bunch, which is no at all bad, no matter what people say or what you believe. Sometime being timid can be mistaken for being humble and that's ALWAYS a good thing! Just try to put yourself out there a little more, I know it'll be hard because I have the same problem. What I do, is think, well I'm not going to know these people forever, so what's the big deal if they don't like me today? I hope that helps in some way!!
