Projection [21 Jun 2005|02:33am]
it was my first night as projectionist all by myself. i had trouble with two movies; one was not my fault at all though. but everything went okay.

it gets pretty eerie up there as the night grows deeper. I have a feeling the west side of the theater is haunted...

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were very enjoyable this year.

... I got drunk off my ass @ Jackie's on Christmas Day... it was fun... though I woke up kinda sore, cause I was falling a lot, I guess.

Best Buy should take appointments the week before and after Christmas... It was sick how many people were in that store the few times that I went. One time I didn't even make it out of my car, I just circled the parking lot and then left... I'll try back next week.

And today I finally got my down comforter from IKEA! It makes me happy. It costed a pretty penny, and I'm kinda broke, but I have my credit card.

Just one more week of school; then I'm out for winter break! I feel like I'm in art boot camp or something. I don't know how I survive on the small ammount of sleep that I get sometimes; I'm going to hibernate this winter.

I'm not very good with goodbyes [06 Aug 2004|12:43am]
[ mood | sad ]
[ music | the Love Actually soundtrack ]

Between the hours of 10:00am and 11:00am this ((technically yesterday)) morning I had to say my goodbyes to my German sister, Elise. She came with a foriegn exchange student group and begun her stay with us about a month ago. At first I thought, "oh this will be easy, just feed her, take her to her classes @ San Dimas H.S., take her out every now and then" but little did I know that she would practically become a part of our family. She fit in so well and we had a blast together. We watched movies, partied down, cooked, baked, cleaned, went shopping a lot((one of my favorite things to do)), listened to music, talked, took photographs, played games, laughed, sang, and much more. Getting to know her so well and getting used to her being around made it difficult to say goodbye to her this morning; and being me and my "emo" self didn't make it any easier. And not only did I have to say goodbye to Elise, but to three other German girls that I got to know over this past month ((one who stayed with my family the last week of their trip out here)). Though my sisters and I made plans to go and visit Elise in Germany next year; for now, our house feels a little emptier than we've been used to...

Oohoo... I just got back from Trinidad & Tobago earlier today... Wow; it was quite an adventure. It was awesome. I'll write about it tomorrow; too tired right now. I feel like I came home to an evolved life ((after traveling to the freakin beautiful caribbean which felt dream-ish)); graduated from H.S., a new being in my life, plans for college; everything seems so.... new and different; I'm excited.

Today, I recieved a letter in a large envelope that reads:

Dear Mr.Bourne:

Congratulations!

I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Otis College of Art and Design as a first semester Foundation student for the term beginning Fall 2004...


I am so excited, and happy, and relieved, and feeling worthy right now. I didn't think I stood a chance of getting in. I applied just so that I could say "I tried." I feel like giggling like a naughty school girl.

Halloween! [02 Nov 2003|11:20am]
[ mood | good ]
[ music | "Above Me"- RUFiO ]

Halloween this year was actually fun. Even though I had to work from 6-12:30, I had fun @ the Scare Fare. Nithya & Elvia ((the little kids)), Kenta ((the Chip N' Dale's Dancer)), Edwin ((Dead Emo Edwin)), Desiree ((the princess of death)), Juvi, and I ((Naughty Santa Clause)) hung out most of the time. And Caitlin & Juvi were there! I miss them. We spent a lot of time in the depths of humidity of human bodies in the dollar dance. It was so hot and nasty in there; but it was fun; getting all freaky. It makes me want to go to the next dance. Then we put Kenta in box, gave him a bunch of candy and carried him around as he threw all the candy out at everyone; haha it was funny because they were actually excited about candy mysteriously flying out of a box. Then we threw candy at each other, and candy at random humans ((especially the ones in jail)). Too bad our photo booth made no money at all... I think we could've done a better job if we actually put effort towards it; I would've but I've been so tired and out of it these past few weeks. We have to do something amazing at school for Thanksgiving and then the Winter Holidays. I don't want senior year to suck ass like it has been doing.

I promise myself that I will start applying to colleges this week; I have to; I've been pushing it back and back, and I need to stop complaining and just do it; It's not that hard either...

Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner ((my favorite time of the year))!

Costume [29 Oct 2003|10:08pm]
[ mood | irritated ]
[ music | "Boysenberry"- Allister ]

Nithya, Elvia, and myself went out looking for freakin Halloween costumes yesterday; but found nothing. I have to find something to be because this is our last Halloween in high school and I want it to be fun and memorable. Maybe I could be a pirate? ((No longer an elf, because we couldn't find any suitable ears)). I guess tomorrow I'll have to put something together.

I think I need to dedicate a whole entire day to pure sleep. I've been so extremely exhausted these past few weeks, it's ridiculous. I tried taking a nap today; but everytime I was slightly close to falling asleep the freakin phone would ring. I think it's destined for me to live my life in a state of exhaustion.

Haha, today was "Pretty in Pink" day, and I wore pink, and oh how I felt pretty. The lower-classmen this year are strangely spirited! I was surprised to see all of the cross-dressers yesterday, and the guys in pink today. They are cool. Why can't Class of 2004 be like that? Man, and I'm still upset that we didn't get to go to Six Flags thanks to all those "I'm too cool to go"-attitude people; It would've been so much fun and memorable, I felt it in my blood. C/O 2004 offically sux; we'll probably make Scare Fare this year suck too!

Hawaii - Current Day [27 Oct 2003|08:28pm]
[ mood | crazy ]
[ music | "Online Songs" - Blink182 ]

So, let me catch up on these past few months, haven't updated since before I went to Hawii, which was in August. Hawaii was extremely fun and relaxing. Jackie and her cousin and myself participated in a lot of fun activities ((snorkling, sight-seeing, adventuring, swimming, beach-walking, Lau Aou, etc.)). After working all summer it was such a reward to get away from everything for 9 days! We took a lot of very beautiful photographs while we were there. You'll have to check some of them out at Jackie's Website in the photograph section. Waikiki ((the city inwhich we stayed)) was covered in exotic plants and flowers, and the temperature was always just so perfect. And the view from the hotel room was literally breath-taking; it's not everyday you wake up to a sight like that, it was so refreshing. They have the most awesome shopping centers and malls over there. We dedicated like a whole entire day to shopping, it was fun; like 8 and a half hours constant walking around, our feet were so freakin sore, I don't think they've ever been that sore before, but it was all worth it. We bought so much stuff over there it was crazy, my type of vacation. I was so excited and a little sad the day we left for Hawaii, and also excited and a little sad when we left back home. It is an experience not easily forgotten. Whenever I think about Hawaii I feel like venturing to all the edges of the Earth, experiencing all types of differnt ways of life. Next, I want to go to either Ireland or Australia/New Zealand; those places seem so pure and natural.

When school started back up I didn't really care. It feels the same as last year, I just care less. At least I have something to do during the week; though I'd rather be working and earning some money. They say that money can't buy happiness, and they're right, it can't; but what it does buy for you compensates for happiness ((haha)); that kind of thinking is going to make me end up a lonely old man... Oh well, at least I'll have all my cool stuff.

I didn't get a car over the summer like I planned to; I had a little trouble saving my money; but now I'm serious about it; I hate being stranded after school every day, especially on Mon. & Wed. when I get out at noon and have to wait until 2:30 to be picked up. It seems as though I am going to get a car sooner than expected, though, if things go as planned...

Halloween is coming up. I want to dress up, but I'm still not sure of what to be. I want to be an elf from The Lord of The Rings; but I don't know how I would dress for that... As long as I'd get to wear the ears, I'd be happy though. I hope Scare Fare is fun; I didn't get to go last year because I had a freakin college class on Fridays... what a loser. I'm going to make it fun, though, this year; no matter how it turns out, I will find a way, one way or another. Ah, and I'll probably almost for surely will work on Halloween, so that kinda sux, but oh well, I don't have anything better to do ((that's what I keep telling myself)).

I don't want to take the SAT's on Saturday... I don't want to apply for colleges... I just don't have the energy for that crap; all I want to do is have fun, that's all that's important, right? I want to go to the Art Institute of CA in Santa Monica; but it's so far, and I'd have to move out there, and I don't want to move out of my house; but the guy told me that I am almost for surely in... I'm so confused. I shouldn't be given options in life.

I want to have a party or do something extremely fun...

It's a good [03 Aug 2003|10:17pm]
[ mood | energetic ]
[ music | "Good Enough"- Taking Back Sunday ]

Hawaii is exactly two weeks away, and I'm excited. I want to go and take spectacular photographs of everything and anything. I need to buy a new memory card for my camera so that I can take a lot of pictures. I also need to order my frames from Umbra, so when I return from Hawaii, I'll have The Two Towers, my frames, back-to-school shopping, and much more to play with.

I've been having such an eventful summer so far, I don't want it to end, so I need to do something to occupy my time on my days off. Things that I want to do include: Six Flags, Disneyland, The Block of Orange, Santa Monica Pier ((again)), T.G.I. Friday's ((and get some Strawberry Lemonade)), and anything else that would be fun.

I'm going to be sad when summer ends, then again, I'll be happy that school will be back in session, and I'll get to see everyone everyday again. It's our last year, got to make the best of it.

Fun [16 Jul 2003|09:47pm]
[ music | "My Favorite Accident"- Motion City Soundtrack ]

This summer is turning out to be the funnest I've had.

Last Tuesday was so awesome @ the Vans Warped Tour! I had a lot of fun, even though I was dehydrating and mal-nutritioned. Seeing Rufio, Yellowcard, The Used, and Simple Plan perform live was so exciting. Rufio was my favorite. While I was there, I purchased Rufio's older CD "Perhaps I Suppose", and a couple of Rufio T-shirts. Next time I go to something like that I have to remember to put on some sun-block... my face got so burnt and peeled like a banana for days, it was kinda gross.

Yesterday was the Santa Monica Pier with Jackie, Elvia, and Alex. That was a lot of fun. Spent the whole time on the promonade looking around in all of the interesting shops. I was about to buy this really awesome picture frame, and I was tempted to buy other stuff, but I didn't want to carry it all around with me, so I was going to wait until we were ready to go to purchase the items, but of curse, once we were ready to go, most of the shops had closed, and those shops that I wanted the items from were amongst those. So now I have to go back and buy the stuff. Oh well, just another reason to go back out there. Ooh and I also want this book I forget what the name of it is, but it's full of insultive words that no one would really know because they're big words with foul meanings. Sometimes I need those words.

Today was another fun day. Went to see two films with Jackie, Elvia, and Preston. We saw Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle ((my second time)); I love that movie. I like it better than the first one. I want to see it again once more. And after that we saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl ((third time)); I like that movie as well. I just can't wait until The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King comes out ((December 17th))!!! I know I'm going to have to see that movie at least 3 times, but I want to see it like 5 times. Oh and a month and 10 days to go until The Two Towers comes out on video!

I'm not feeling fulfilled in my photographing aspect of life... I need more. And I need a memory card with more memory & I need a photosmart printer...

I have another day off on Friday! I need to do something fun! I feel like going shopping... for anything...

Summer so far [01 Jul 2003|11:25pm]
[ mood | good ]

So far, summer has been very very good to me.

The last day of school was so much fun. After the teachers' Go Away Party with the cake and chips and stuff, went to the beach with some good friends. I didn't want to go at first, I was ready to just go home and crash; but Jackie and Matthew insisted ((and by "insisted" i really mean "forced")) me to go; which I'm so glad they did. Just laid around, relaxed, talked, my feet played in the water, became intrigued by the water, watched the pyros play with the fire, roasted marshemellows, played speed, all that fun stuff you shouldn't do at the beach.

Then I had a Mario Party. That was fun. So much we did, with all the lemonade, Mario Party-ing, movie-watching, free-crazy bread eating, yoguart grubbing, night kids at play-ing, weird stuff. I have to throw another.

Went to the mall today and bought Rufio's new CD "1985", which made me happy.

So much fun already stuffed into only the first two weeks of summer... I have a feeling this summer will be one to remember...

Woohoo! Prosecution won the trial! Go us! It brought great joy to my pittiful heart when the verdict was revealed. We put so much hardwork and effort into that trial, we better have won! haha. It went really well, and I did better than I thought I would. I was so glad to see everyone in our case-half so happy and relieved and excited, because we've all been so exhausted and drained from all the work we've been doing, but it paid off, and that's all that counts. I can finally sleep in peace ((maybe even with a little smile on my face)).

Only a week until school is out... Makes me kinda sad... I want to have a really fun summer though, like last year; maybe better if possible. Hopefully I won't have to work too much.

I've gone digital [07 Jun 2003|08:08pm]
[ mood | pleased ]
[ music | "By Your Side" - Sade ]

I got a new digital camera today! woo hoo! It makes me happy. Now I can capture my memories. And the one called Jackie and I can take pictures like crazy school-kids. I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow; I want to take walk and take photOgraphs of interesting things that cross my path. I'll just have to do it another day.

I wish I would've gotten yesterday off of work so that I could've gone to the Aloha dance. But I didn't, so I couldn't. I wasn't in a very good mood yesterday anyway, so maybe I wouldn't have had fun. Next year I want to go to all of the dances, because it's my last year, and I don't want to graduate and regret "I wish I would've gone to more dances".

I took the SAT's today, as a walk-in. It went by pretty fast. I hope I did well. I'm hoping for at least a 1000, even though I know I didn't do that well... One can only hope though. I need to put consideration into which college I want to attend and what I want to major in, the future creeps more and more near. It's kinda scary.

X2 [06 May 2003|10:36pm]
[ mood | happy ]
[ music | "Go On"- Taking Back Sunday ]

X-Men 2 is one of the coolest movies ever made. I really enjoyed it a lot when I saw it yesterday with Elvia, Jackie, and Kenta. I was expecting it to be a good movie; but it surpassed my expectations. I think movies are a lot better when you know completely nothing about them. I guess the feelings of suspense and surprise make you feel more involved with the movie. I can't wait until The Lord of The Rings: Return of The King comes out. My major obsessions now are X-Men, Lord of The Rings, Smallville, Alias, and of course and always Xena: Warrior Princess.

I have to go see X2 again though. Maybe tomorrow.

Weekend Warrior [28 Apr 2003|08:00pm]
[ mood | content ]
[ music | Adam's Song- Blink182 ]

So, my weekend was boring like usual. I didn't think that I was going to get my Murder Mystery done in time, but I pulled through once more. Even though it took me into the unlite hours of the cold morning. Now I have to work on a bunch of other school stuff and it makes me angry inside. Makes me tired just thinking about it. But I have to do all of my work, I think I'm actually doing well in all of my classes for once ((except P.E., because according to them, "little effort displayed" is how they view me... it's not fair at all)). I'm striving for AE's this semester.

Woo hoo! This Friday X-Men 2 comes out! I'm excited about that. The first movie was very good, but I think this second one is going to be better. And, The Matrix Reloaded comes out on the 15th, so I'm also excited about that, too. A bunch of good movies are coming out soon. That makes me afraid because many stupid, angry, irritated people will come to the movies and bitch at me for no reason. But I've just learned to brush it off now.

I want to go to Disneyland... or Disney's California Adventure and spend the whole day in the animation studio! That place is so awesome... I would live there if I had options in life. And I would ride the "Soarin' Over California" ride... it feels so real; I like artificial things that simulate reality.

I'm going to start calling myself "Weekend Warrior".
