Well, today is the day! I leave for LAX tonight and tomorrow I will be in COSTA RICA!!!! Can you believe the day is already here? I can't. Joey told me about this back in July. That was so long ago. What has happened in between? It's crazy!
I'm excited! I'm almost completely packed. But let me tell you that that was one incredible experience! I think I picked half my closet at first...no joke! So I narrowed it down and SHOVED it all into a little duffle bag. Be proud of a girl who can shove 3 weeks of clothes into a small duffle bag -- that's unheard of!
I am hoping to have internet while I am there at least a few times. Still debating on whether or not to bring my laptop. We'll see. I'll try to update you guys every now and then. Wish me luck! My birthday is also this coming Tuesday so that will be fun!
Alright, guys! Enjoy your holidays and I will be back in the states on New Year's Eve! Ciao! :)

Harsh Criticism.
I hope your eyes are ready to see this because shit's about to get nasty.
Pregnancy. A beautiful time in a woman's life and a magical experience for her partner. It's a true miracle to understand the complications of making a life. TRULY.
Last time I checked, I took the SAME sex education classes as these girls. They sat next to me. We talked. We said we'd never get the STD's. Never get pregnant too young. We all did the Baby Think It Over project. The ironic thing is that I remember some of these girls having strong voiced opinions on the right to abortions and "Laws Off My Body!" politics.
Why can't girls my age just keep their goddamn legs closed? A few are already on their THIRD! It's outrageous! And I know I am judging these girls but one of my best friends and my sister both had babies at 20 and unplanned. I've personally seen the challenge it is to be a young parent.
Who in their right mind wants to keep their child at 20 years old? YOU'RE A BABY TO BEGIN WITH! It's frustrating because I feel these girls are being selfish. This innocent life is being brought into this world and most of the time without a solid family or solid income/finances. I seriously doubt the capabilities of these girls. I just know that because they are my age, I am even older then some, and I could no way, shape or form raise a child right now. This age in our life is supposed to be a selfish one on our part so that we grow up and can become selfless parents for our future children.
While you may think I regard these girls harshly, I still wish the circumstance is different and they rise above the odds. No way in my heart do I wish something bad on these girls, but I do think that having babies seems to have become a "trend" because they happen to be dating someone they think they "love." These are all my personal opinions and you have every right to hate me or judge me for them but I just think that my generation of girls is smarter than that.
WAKE UP, PEOPLE! These birth control methods are epic failures: Abstinence, Withdrawl and the Rhythm Cycle. USE BIRTH CONTROL. If you can't afford it, go to Planned Parenthood. If you're too lazy, then PUT ON A FREAKING CONDOM. If you can't do any of those things, you don't deserve to be a parent.
Meh!

Impulsive.
Apologies for my previous post. Sometimes, I become a drama queen. HA! Me, a drama queen? PSH!
No really though. I do that sometimes. It's actually quite dangerous if you know me.
Anyway -- so things were said and of course things were made up. Then I made the absolute crazy decision of proposing to my boyfriend. Yeah. I got down on one knee and everything. I didn't have much to give him other than one of my old rings on a necklace chain, but hey, it works right?
It's kind of a big deal. It was really impulsive of me...and if you know me at all...that's strange. I'm a planner.
But I meant every word I said. Now all I have to do is cross my fingers and hope for the best.
<3

Mayday, Mayday!
The things that have been said in the past twenty-four hours are going to take a lifetime to forget.
I canceled my own birthday party. How screwed up is that?
I've crashed and burned. There's nothing left of me but the ashes of who I used to be.
Special thanks to John for being the only follower of my blog.
It's been real, but its time for me to go.

My Inner She-Wolf: Francis.
Tried out my Shakira make-up for the shoot. Then I posed for pictures instead of studying for my history quiz, due in like an hour. >.<;
Also, I put some black streaks in my hair. If you've never seen me before, this is what I look like! Yay for low self-esteem massacre!
