so i haven’t posted here in so long since I got a livejournal i’ve been blogging on that a lot more and on here a lot less. check it out if you haven’t already.

i believe this is an open hiatus. i haven’t been responding to any hosting applications (so sorry. i’m trying not to ignore you and i don’t want to be rude.. i’m just very lazy). i’m not online very much anymore and for that i apologize.

i don’t think i’ll use this site at all anymore.. hostees can keep their account until this domain expires sometime next year. i might come back later, but for now…. there’s no end to this hiatus in sight. bye loves.

I’m just not in the mood to be on the computer these days unless I’m watching a show/movie using my handy dvd player. I’m wayyy too busy with school and college applications (which I can turn in this month!) I can’t believe I’m filling out applications already. High school goes by so fast it’s unbelievable.

Hm. Let’s see. I’m having the most stressful weekend ever. I was really dreading it because I’m working a tonnn. A few days ago, my old job (hostessing) manager called me up and asked me if I wanted to work on friday. So I was like.. sure why not.. couldn’t hurt to make some more money. Anyways, I went in last night and it was so weird being back. I haven’t worked there since the beginning of July. So I had to kind of get back into the swing of things. It was busier there than I thought it would be, considering the economy sucks (thanks bush).

Speaking of bush, Sarah Palin is like.. the biggest idiot ever. She annoys the crap out of me. I just want to punch her. And I realize that’s probably not healthy, but hey.. that’s just who I am. John McCain is just as bad. Those two should just… I swear to god if Obama does not win this election I will cry. If the US was run by those idiots it would just be the worst thing ever. Omg. And oh yeah.. I don’t know if the ‘propositions’ are being voted for by all US citizens or just by the state, but vote NO ON PROP 8. Gay people have every right to get married. Peace & LOVE ♥. Okay this isn’t a political blog. I will stopp.

URGH. I can’t believe THE DUCHESS isn’t out yet. I’m like really stressin. The worldwide release was yesterday and it’s not out at my theater. I want to see that movie SO BAD. Keira Knightley is my home girl! ♥ Plus the movie just looks amazing. Please, let me know if it’s out near you so that I can complain to my local movie theater.

Let’s see. I took the SAT Subject Tests this morning. Literature and Math 2. Math was so hard! They asked some pre-calc questions and my pre-calc teacher was awful. I’m pretty sure I did really bad on it. And the Literature was okay, but some of the questions were so ridiculous. Plus the passages were all from like the 1700s so they use that old language that is impossible to understand. I don’t know why I took the literature test. I hate literature.

I worked at the aquatic center straight after the SATs. I told my boss that I would be late like 3 times. I’m like “You want me to come in at 11? I’m pretty sure that’s not possible. I’m taking the SAT, so I’m going to be late, I know I am.” And today at around 11:15 (I’m still testing) she called my phone like three times and left a few messages on my house phone. Did I not just tell you that I was going to be late? Short term memory?

I’m also working tomorrow and I’m dreading it. I just need a day to relax and do absolutely nothing. Those days are the best. Because seriously, these next two months are going to be the worst.

And that’s all I have to say for now. Sorry if you couldn’t read half of this blog. I am so exhausted (although it’s only 9:30) and hand-brain coordination is a bit off. Tata.

So I went shopping after school today with my friends. They wanted to look for homecoming dresses at forever 21, and I was basically there to shop around. I only had $40 with me, so I figured forever 21 would be the perfect place (it’s cheap, and they have cute stuff). Anyways to make a long story short: I tried on a few dresses, didn’t buy anything. Then my friend Tara and I like.. we wanted to be original for homecoming and we really don’t care about it.. I don’t want to spend much money and I don’t really feel like dressing up. So we wanted to wear highwaisted shorts and suspenders and look like total dorks. We searched all around the mall but couldn’t find what we wanted.. so we’re just gonna be normal, I guess. Kinda sad.

Anyways, later I checked the mail.. and found a letter I didn’t notice before that was addressed to me. It was from my bank so I just thought it was that monthly statement that they send you every month to let you know what withdrawls/deposits were made and what you have left. I opened the envelope and found out that $46,000 had been wire-transferred into my savings account from some name I didn’t know. $46,000. So I just stared at it like “Is this some kind of scam? Like.. is this a joke?”

Once my parents get home from scotland I’m going to ask them what it’s about. My grandma died recently so I’m thinking that maybe it’s from her.. she apparently had saved up quite a bit of money for us. But seriously I don’t even know what do to with all of this money. I feel so.. weird. Like suddenly I don’t need to worry that much about shopping or anything. Of course I’m going to save it up for college and stuff.. but yeah. Has anything like this ever happened to you?

I’m applying to a few UC colleges this fall.. the essay prompts are ridiculous. I have no idea what I’m going to write….

Prompt #1 (freshman applicants)

Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.

Prompt #2 (all applicants)

Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are?

Oh, october and november are going to be fun months! Ideas, anyone?

Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I’ve been getting quite a few questions.. the answer? I just haven’t felt like typing up pages and pages of my life. But right now I’m in the mood and I’m procrastinating.. I mean, who really wants to do stat homework?

So I haven’t really been doing a lot. Schools been really good, I’m enjoying my senior year. Last tuesday I went on Senior Picnic (all seniors have the option to go to waterworld for 50 bucks. we also get free breakfast). Food + missing school?! Heck yeah I’m in. So we ate a really nice breakfast (I absolutely love muffins) and we went to waterworld (for those of you who have no idea what waterworld is… it’s a waterpark with different pools and slides.. really fun). Unfortunately it was freeeezing for the entire time, so I ended up laying in the sun trying to get warm. It was fun though, definitely worth the money.

Oh and on Labor day (sept 1st) i had one of the worst experiences of my lifeee. I’m a lifeguard (as you may know) and I was asked to lifeguard on that day. So I’m all “sure”. And on weekends (I don’t want to be racist or anything, but this is true) a bunch of mexicans/hispanics come in. Which is totally fine. But some of them don’t speak english, which gets on my nerves. So I try to tell them that they’re breaking a rule and they don’t understand me. It’s so frustrating. But anyways, back to the story. I was guarding the diving boards and this kid goes off and starts to drown. And I just freeze.. I’m like “dude is he going to be okay? the walls right thereee… can he reach it?” And while I was puzzling all this and trying to decide what to do, Jess (she was about to rotate me) jumps in and saves him instead. I felt so embarrassed because he was mine to save and I just didn’t do it fast enough. But now I’m prepared to save someone.. even if it’s some obnoxious kid.

And uhh… i was super busy on saturday. I took the ACT in Oakland (such an annoying drive at 7 in the morning). I was so so tired… but I had to drive my sister and myself. We got there half an hour early so we just waited outside the door until the proctor finally let us in. I thought it was super easy.. I think I did good on everything except the science (didn’t have enough time) and the essay. Did anyone else take it this past saturday? I didn’t like the essay prompt.. it wasn’t like a topic you could argue.. it was like one you just had to state your opinion on. And you couldn’t give facts. So I was a little puzzled. After that I went with my friend Aurelia to the mall and I got a sweater, scarf, and a pair of jeans. And afterwards I was really depressed that we don’t have a topshop here in the usa, so I ordered some stuff online.


Andd after I went shopping I had a bonfire with a few of my friends. Pictures here and here. They look terrible cause I was exhausted.. but yeah. And my boyfriend came over at 11ish and (since my parents are in scotland for 3 weeks WHOOOO) he decided to sleep over. I hate sleeping with other people.. it’s so hard to sleep. So I was ridiculously tired, and I couldn’t even sleep. It was the worst. But I eventually got to bed at 3, and we woke up around 8. Soo terrible. But I hadn’t told my sister that he slept over so he escaped by hopping the fence. Heh. He’s leaving next week for college.. probably won’t see him until november. Which is fine by me, because I’m getting really annoyed at him lately. He can be so obnoxious and I’m just like.. you’re a girl! He texts me all the time and says stupid stuff. And he’s so clingy.

I had TWO AP tests today. It was so bad. I think I did horrible on my environmental science one. I knew like nothing.. I chose not to study (which was a bad decision) but we’ll just see how it goes, yeah? And I think I did well on my stat test despite my worries about it.

HOSTEE NEWS. Yeah I’ve been getting your emails, I’ve just been wayyyy too lazy to respond/set up accounts. I’m so sorry. I feel really bad but I just haven’t had the time/patience to do it all. So if you’re still interested, please send me another email and I’ll try to get to it.

SONG OF THE MOMENT I LOVE LOVE LOVE Katy Perry, and I’ve been listening to Hot n Cold nonstop for the past few hours. Seriously go listen to it. She’s awesome.

I can’t sleep and I’m bored and I just got back from the dance at school (which was fun, btw. We all dressed up and had an awesome time and got slurpies afterwards). But I want to fill out this survey thing because I haven’t done one in so long. Feel free to take it and put it on your site or whatever ;P

I don’t know if it’s jealousy that I can actually afford hosting/domains, but oh my god so many people are like “Ali you have sooo many sites whats your PROBLEM?@?!?!/l3jlakwefj” I’m just like. What the hell. Leave me alone. I have three sites. One is a hosting site. One is a blog. One is a fan site. To me, it’s not that much. I can handle it and keep up with it all. I’m sick of people bringing me down. Seriously shut up about it. I could be like this person or this person (not trying to put either of them down in any way. No offense intended. I think they’re great. Just trying to put this all in comparison). I’m just saying guys. Mind your own freaking business. You own your site(s). I own mine.

Okay, Let’s Dance to Joy Division by the Wombats is an awesome song. You should listen. Seriously. Um. So first day of senior year. My sister and I wanted to go at 7:15 to do the senior hill thing. It only takes me like 30 minutes to get ready because I just straighten my hair and I don’t wear that much makeup. But I drive my sister to school and she takes foreverrr to get ready. She woke up 30 minutes earlier than me and she finished like 15 minutes after me. It’s so annoying and ridiculous. I was like “Come on natie hurry up! We were supposed to be there early!” I think we got there around 7:40. It was soo dumb. Anyways we ran over to the hill and cheered “09!” at the top of our lungs. It still hasn’t settled in that I’m a senior yet.

I was worried that I wouldn’t know anyone in my environmental science class, but it turns out one of my friends, Aurelia, was in that class. So that made me happy. I have a feeling I’m going to meet a ton of new people this year. Today was such a long day. I was just like.. can I go home and sleep now? I don’t know what it is about the first day of school but I can never sleep the night before. I turned my light out at 10 and couldn’t sleep until 11:30. Then my sister’s cat woke me up (he was hurling in the room right next to mine, and I could hear it through the walls) around 5am. And after that I couldn’t sleep. It was a terrible night’s sleep.. hopefully tonight will be better because I won’t be able to go on like this much longerr.

AP Stat is going to be so hard. I just finished the first homework assignment and I am so confused. We’re supposed to already know how to do this stuff and I was like “Uhh.. never learned this?” Hopefully I’ll find a buddy in that class and we can swap notes and stuff. I’m too lazy to write about the rest of my day… anyone start school yet? I’d love to hear about your first day

Hey guys, my hosting site has opened. Please visit Love Fan!

I’m trying to get rewind-designs.net back up and running again but my host is being so slow. I am paying $12 a month for this and it’s annoying me how it’s not working. I can set up accounts for domains and stuff but like.. the index page isn’t showing up on r-d. Whatever. I emailed them a few days ago so I’ll just pray for a response soon. I’m going to be offering super super cheap hosting plans and free subdomain hosting there for any kinds of sites. I haven’t seen cheaper prices so once it’s all up and running I’ll post the link here.

School starts in two days! Ahhh. I’m kind of excited but on the other hand I’m not. I hate waking up early.. it’s just the worst thing ever. On the first day of school we have this thing called “Senior Hill” where some seniors stand up on the hill across from school and just cheer on their class. I don’t feel like waking up that early (we’re supposed to be there at 7:15!) but all of my friends want to do it, so why not? I’m also excited for the dance on friday. I love to dance and the first dance of the year is always the best… mixed feelings about this.

Yeah. I don’t have much going on now. ;P
