A friend of my brother's died last week in a car crash. It looks like she had a heart attack just after she crashed. Se was 19.
Today, another friend of my brother's died. I was told the SUV she was driving at full-speed flipped-over and crushed her. She was 20. I went to her funeral, because I actually knew this girl. I was heartbreaking to see so many young people crying. I dunno, young people should not die.
I cried so much today.

If you would please take some time to read and sign the following petition:
http://www.petitiononline.com/12June/petition.html
I tend to believe online petitions to be completely useless, but, who knows? Something might be achieved?
If there's something we can do about the situation in Iran, I believe we should do it. I'm a firm believer of not meddling with other country's political affairs but I will make an exception here. Iran does not need another revolution, this issue has to be solved as soon as possible, before more lives are claimed.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Por favor lean y firmen la siguiente petición:
http://www.petitiononline.com/12June/petition.html
Mi opinión general es que las peticiones en línea son de lo más inútil que hay en el mundo, pero tal vez se pueda lograr algo con esta, ya que pIenso que si ha algo que podamos hacer para apoyar a Irán deberíamos hacerlo, por mínimo que sea. Yo creo firmemente en la políctica de mi país de la No Intervención, pero esta es una excepción. El pueblo iraní no merece lo que está sucediendo, y si por medio de la presión internacional se puede evitar otra revolución y la muerte de más inocentes, habremos logrado algo importante. Esta situación debe resolverse YA.

Today while performing my feminine ritual (shaving my armpits), my razor slipped and I cut myself. I got worried about it getting infected, so I put some eau de toilette there, like men do when they cut themselves while shaving. It hurt like a bitch. I wanted to die. Now I have a Hello Kitty band-aid protecting my battle wound.
I fail as a woman D:
(both in the personal hygiene aspect, and in the being discrete one) .
Sometimes I wish I was a student at this "University"
because then I could say "I'm IN ZUKO LawLawLawLawL"

1) It seems like I'll be posting more often than I 've been doing during this whole semester (HOLIDAYS!!!! :D)
2) About that job offer, I did get it! :D
So, what's it about you might ask? I will be illustrating 6 children story-books, 15 illustrations per book. And I will be payed $5,000 (pesos, about 500 bucks) per book. PEOPLE LIKE MY ARTS YOU GUISE!!! :D
I must confess tho, that I feel kind of guilty... I can't help thinking about a couple of girls I know who are studying art-related stuff, and I got this job... I feel like I'm stealing their oportunity... BUT I WON THIS THING WITH MY HARD-WORK AND ANNOYING "do you wanna hire me?" ABILITIES!!!! SO SUCK IT!!!!
Yay! Happy :D

Despite Monday's somewhat possitive post, the past 36 hours have been not so pleasant. For the past two days I've felt like I'm losing the taste (yummyness?) for life. For example: The other day I ate some Belgian chocolate, and it didn't make me happy at all... then again, it's been in the fridge for like, 6 months, so they're probably stale and why I didn't have multiple orgasms in my mouth... But today I was offered with a great job oportunity, and I didn't feel all that excited. But that might also be because of the overwhelming feeling that came over me after thinking I may not be good enough for the job.
I believe I'd been getting enough hours of sleep, but since Sunday I've been sleeping an average of 4 hours a night. Maybe the lack of sleep is messing with my body chemistry and making me emo?
*sigh*
I'll try to look ahead and hope tomorrow my doubts regarding this job will be cleared up.

For a post!
How long has it been since my last "real" post? Quite a while I think. Life's been better I guess. I believe I feel a bit more... content, thanks to project artslam . I guess It's got something to do with drawing daily. Maybe being comissioned to do illustrations for a newspaper has something to do with that joyful feeling too (even though I'm not being payed, and it's an independent newspaper, it's nice seeing your work in print).
Tomorrow will be my final Japanese exam: An oral presentation. It's weird. After 3 years of going there 5 days a week for periods of 1 hour and a half, it'll be over. I won't lie, this last semester has been specially hard. I never really liked this teacher, and I pretty much lost all interest in going to class because of her. There are chances of the intermediate level being opened for next semester. I'm in a big crossroads at the moment regarding that. On the one side, I don't want to stop tudying. I really want to be able to speak in Japanese, plus, I'd feel like a quitter. On the other hand, however, I don't think I could stand another semester of verbal abuse from that woman, and I 'd like to take 8 subjects instead of 6 in order to have a relaxed academic load next year and take that animation course without dying while I try. My mom asked me "what's more important to you? Japanese or drawing?" IT'S A REALLY HARD QUESTION, YOU GUISE!!! BOTH THINGS MAKE ME FEEL SPECIAL (I like drawing better, I just have trouble accepting I can't do everything I want).
I believe I still have a while to decide. Who knows? Maybe the schedule will be so horrible it'll be a perfect excuse to not take it that will not make me feel guilty or lame for dropping it. Plus, I've still got lots of methods to learn Japango in my closet, and I guess I could start watching raw anime or something.
Oh~ Stuff. ALSO!

Guess what? Looks like I'm back on competing and participating in tournaments and shit! Only it's not judo (it hasn't been in a year or so XD).
Today was my university's swimming tournament. Seeing as I'm fat and old, I participated in the n00b categoy (even tho I've technically been swimming since I can remember...).
Long story short: I managed to arrive at a pityful 7th place in 50 meters crawl, and 1st place in 50 meters backstroke. YEAHYUH BABEH~!
Fun story: When I was around 10, I would swim regularly and train and suff. There was one day at the pool in which I cheated A LOT. I kept on geiitng extra impulse by pulling myself from the lane dividers. That day, my coach said I was "really good at backstroke". BUT I KNEW I HAD CHEATED! So I always thought he'd said that because he saw me <i>"swim fast"</i>, and so, for 9 years, I thought I was actually lousy at backstroke. TURNS OUT I DON'T SUCK AT BACKSTROKE AND THAT IT IS MY STYLE. I kicked myself when I discovered that. DAMN YOU, CONSCIENCE!!!
Sad story: There were no medals... I wanted my shiny, gold, disc ; ^;
I DESERVED IT!!! >( I WON BY ALMOST 2 SECONDS!!!!!
*sigh*
So tired now.

I have a drug issue. As in, I have isues with drugs use.
I really feel intimidated by drug users.
They represent a threat to my happy world in which everything is rational and "why would you want to 'suffer' from self-inflicted schizofrenia?" is what the kewl kids ask.
I'm sorry, I just don't understand the need to be high in order to enjoy The Colbert Report, South Park, Drawn Together or any other of those shows that seem tho have been written to people who are stoned (I can perfectly enjoy them while being completely sober, then again, I act like a drunk all the time).
Whenever my brother talks about drug use I feel intimidated and scared. Kind of like as if I was a naïve little girl whose bubble of nice gets bursted only to learn that everybody does it. "But alcohol is more damaging than marihuana!" You might argue. The thing is, I'm not for alcohol being legal either. But I don't want to be the killjoy. Although I also stand for the right to "consume whatever you want to consume, as long as you don't affect other people."
I've been sneered and looked down for saying I don't drink or smoke. Whenever people ask me why I don't drink, they do it in a "what do you mean you don't like breathing!?" tone. My brother's junky friend always looks at me with disdain because I'm sobber. Even my brother talks down to me as if I was stupid because I've never done drugs and know nothing about the real world. Whenever I'm faced in any of these situations, I feel like crying. Why is it so bad that I don't submit to the group pressure? It's not because mommy and daddy said that drugs were bad that I don't do them, but because I don't want to. I really hate being discriminated by a pack of pseudo-iltellectual, hedonistic pricks.
There's this law that allows people to carry small doses of marihuana, heroine, cocaine, crystal meth, etc. that was passed a week or so ago. I think it's a horrible thing. Mexico is in the drug lords' clutches, most of the police corps are allied to these drug lords and protect them, and lots of politicians are involved in the business. I don't know if they passed this law in order to cover their asses, or just to make junkies feel safe and then bust them. You should be able to carry up to 5 grams of pot with you without the police having a reason to fuck you. You should also be able to walk around sobber and with no drugs on you without the police having a reason to fuck you. This is my country. Beautiful in many ways, but so corrupt it allows criminals to keep their badges.
And those are my 2 cents of why I dislike drugs.

So, guess who had to make a class presentation today at 7:00 am. Also, guess at what time this person remembered she had to do said presentation...
Yep, me, and 1:00 am, last night.
Still, I won. I believe I aced the topic.
Tomorrow I'll finally take that exam that's been postponed for like, 3 weeks alredy. Seriously, I've been studying for that thing for over a month now! Actually, I'll go study a bit more as soon as I'm done with this entry... you know... just to kill time while the House Season Finale finishes downloading.
Also, some time ago I contacted this independent newspaper, La Rocka, offering them my illustration services, and they got back to me today *-* They're interested YAY!
So yep... just letting you know that I'm ok and kind of matching up at life...
