oh yeah i also forgot to update people who read this on my life:
so i guess when i said i was in ther stride of things i jinxed myself bc i find myself currently praying i'll scrape by in classes with B-'s (if i'm lucky) currently out of a job, currently corssing my fingers i haven't shopped so much on amazon.com that i wont have enough money in my account to pay for summer classes, currently without-a-boyless, and currently surrounding myself with people that make me happy so it's all ok at the end of the day
gotta go one of those people is waiting outside

hello friends. so its been a really long time since i even looked at this website much less wrote an actual entry in my livejournal. i cant imagine what kind of ridiculous things ive written on here and what kind of silly memories might cross my mind when i read back. ill probably keep some of the more humorous entries saved into my computer, but suffice to say i can go without others.
in gaby news, i have finally gotten into the stride of my second year at FIU. we're talking the works: school (mon-thurs) work in between (sales associate at ann taylor loft thak you very much), and yes if you can believe it and the comical mental image that comes with it, going to the gym at least three times a week.
i have made the rather delayed decision to delete my livejournal. fear not friends it doesnt mean i will be deleted from existance you still got me when you want me (does that make me sound easy?) anyway, the point is ive been keeping busy and hopefully, though things are rather sketchy and the future is seriously vague as always i leave you my livejournal, though i may not be deleting you for a few days maybe even weeks (ive always had trouble letting things go) this will be my last entry as glitterwhore25 (who let me get away with that name?) i may actually come back reborn under a new name in which case i will be refriending everyone of course but i will always have my lj memories <3
so i leave you with these words of wisdom to all those who remain in lj world:
dont shit where you eat.
i dont even know what that means
looove

this weekend was so fucking amazing. it made my life.
we are so the type of people who pick up exactly where we left off. because thats exactly what we did.
Harry Potter makes my life. While, i may remain disgruntled with some of the cuts, i think the acting was amazing all around, although i have to agree with the reviewer of the tufts paper saying that the amazing acting was downplayed in favor of the fancy special effects.
i still loved it, they could never make me unlove it. i win.
the 240's were great fun. i had to do some possessive girlfriend moves against creepy boys who rub up on my woman. so we stole his pizza. we win again. we called mahoney to bother him on a saturday afternoon and jono threw leaves at tourists.
i dealt with the cold better than i thought i would, though shivering was not uncommon. it was so good to see those two. it didnt even feel like it has been almost three months. the only difference was probably the fact that jono seems to be inexplicably taller. when i hugged him my feet were a good 8 inches off the ground.
it was good times, old friends, new friends, harry potter as always, and hugs and hookah.
i loved boston.
Ps registered for classes.

yes. i win.

"Everytime I see someone and I'm not sure if I'll see them again for four months, I want to hold onto them. And so I do... Mental becomes physical. That's what hugs are, after all...Holding onto people and fearing to let go. And I mean that quite literally."
Justin
Tina you took the words right out of my mouth. i feel the same way it didnt hit me until recently how many of those i care most about are leaving to very far away places. so far that a car ride simply wouldnt do.
Im sad we wont have the same circumstances anymore. I wont sit on that concrete thing at lunch living in fear of bird poop. Its ok though i know how to fix it. theres been so much talk about roomates and dorms and packing and flying and holidays home. and while theres a microscopic part of me that doesnt like not having anything to contribute to these conversations, and another microscopic part that makes me twitch with regret inside when I have to answer 'When do you leave?' with 'I dont.', its too insignificant to pay any attention to. There's no room in life for regrets.
Im gonna miss so much about the accesibility to my IB soulmates, you know, lunch and classes, and mahoneys room. It wont hit me for a while but there was a genuine sadness in saying goodbye to Rafa and Adrian tonight. Im used to them, thats it, its all my habit of having them on hand, which i no longer do. next to go are those leaving to UF this week, my Fifer and others, then Andres who has been in my life for so long, i dont know what Ill do without him, but who, when we come home in january, i will pick up on the way to school. Then my Carmy, who I know will make me cry when we depart. Then they start to get harder. There is a weird sequence to this. Jono will get on a plane and fly away. that will be throughly sad. And i cant even think about August 30th. its hard. its sad. its only 14 days away. its far away. Im gonna miss you.
There will always be the fear that the northeast will take them all over and I will get left behind in Miami. not part of the out-of-state thing. Not only physically left behind, but just somewhat excluded. However, Im reassured with the hugs and the silences after we realize how little time is left. I truly love all my friends and what they have given to me.
Please take care of yourselves, succeed ( we're IB so its what we do best), live, laugh, love, hug, write, send, please, please dont forget me. God willing i wont forget any of you. It would take a lot to forget you guys.
and also please please send me your addresses with dorms and the like or PO Boxes or whatever
i want to send packages and letters
send them to my email:
gabrielam187@gmail.com
I love you guys.

She's finally home, god help us, and shes looking tall and tan and young and lovely, (maybe not tall but it works with thee song dammit)
We're like little kids again, giggling like all the time and being stupid.
After too long I had my five boys all together at one table where i laughed too hard for my own good. It made me so happy and my best friend and an amazing early birthday. I love my boys so much and they make me so happy, even when theyre driving me crazy.
We made a pinky promise Im afraid to keep, but I must because its against my moral principles to break a pinky promise, esecially one that was so explicitly and clear-mindedly made. Im gonna do it. no fear, gaby, no fear.
I love my friends.
97 days and 8 hours until Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

After a somewhat uneventful summer, I cisited family, other family visited me, i helped / helping redo the backyard, did some other stuff, read the first two harry potter books, became un healthily obsessed with harry potter and its awesomeness, as i often do, and today i visited school where i bugged mr mahoney, while he tried to "teach" made jokes about his being old, which is always fun, and saw mrs. scott and OC, then bugged mahoney some more while visiting with LAORA and Harris.
Went to the ortho and had to wait long while drama unfolded and the hygienist let me in on the chisme.
it was fun, but my teeth hurt.
tonight off to to dinner, did some shopping with my girlfriend, and i have to go through the ritual of finding an outfit, my room shall be coated in clothing.

im home once again. actually, if it weren't for missing parents and friends i didnt really want to leave. travelling alone was so peaceful. not that i dont like having someone to talk to on the plane and stuff. but it was good to just be responsible for myself. it was good not to feel like a little girl and look to my mom when they ask me questions. i got to paraguay just fine.
the flight from Miami to Brazil was kinda long but peaceful despite the mean british woman. i got to Sao Paolo at 5 am and began the 6 hour wait for my connecting flight. sat around mostly. got some writing done. wrote random things. wrote to emily. soon enough i got on the plane again and had a sweet flight over. breezed through baggage claim without the cart guys harassing me and worried i wouldnt have anyone to pick me up. trying desperately to remember my aunts address so i could get a taxi. i remembered but didnt need it.
i neededthat week. i havent laughed so hard or smiled so much in a while. i love my family. i love my Jose. the trip, of course, was not without its drama. my mom didnt even come this year. drama was minimized somewhat however and we enjoyed ourselves. some things really made me want to gag at their-- never mind i better not get into it.
there are new people in my Asuncion life and i like it. nice boys with good manners. unbeatable. my amazing grandma and tío cholo, tío chito, tía bebeta, and tía poro/pirucha.
i love them all.
however, i did miss people here. randomly too. i miss my boys fifer jono arabel lulu. my girlfriend of course. and other random people who i havent seen in too long. come find me please!

been t gainesville and back. shudder at black friday. goodness goodness. im not making sense. about to leave to lover's for dinner.
went to smelly downtown today to be congratulated by a less than enthusiastic school board. got happy to see a recognizable name on the board next to the name tag for superintendent
student advisor: Adam Rosen. it made me proud to know someone in such a high place. anyway. ms. leal was there. trying to act like shes all proud and doesnt even know who i am. sat for ten minutes in a ghetto auditorium and for thirteen years i got this:
you cant really read it but it says:
The School Board of Miami-Dade County, Florida honors Gabriela Morales of Coral Reef Senior High School as a senior who achieved 13 years of Perfect Attendance.
good job at coming to school every day. even if you were sick or dying or had an assignment you could be doing last minute at home it doesnt matter have a rather insignificant piece of paper and no money dammit bc you did as you should. im not bitter promise i like to brag about my attendance. i win, go me go.

I think I am suffering of the ennui.
i am lisltess and restless. i wanna work at the daycare. but not having to pay volunteers has prevailed over them giving me a job.
went out to miami lakes cobb theater to support jono.
outdoors Miami is absolutely disgusting in the summer.
my sidewalk is black from the stuff the tree drops.
Impending family drama threatens to ruin the annual trip again. as do certain piggy girls (girl really).
the rain sounds pretty on my window which just proves my inability to focus. on anything.
im very complainy and unsure on just about everything these days. im uncomfortable everywhere and i cant escape it.
im unmotivated to do anything but i complain when i dont.
im upset with myself. instead of dealing with that i convince myself im upset with others. i dont want to be in my place right now. but i dont want to in anyone else's. om sad about something i havent had to be sad about in a long time. it feels like 7th grade all over again.
ive watched gilmore girls, and queer eye, and silly and crazy and sad movies. my body is slouched from all the couch slumming and i want my hair to not be my hair.
i am sufering of the ennui.

haha its 1230 i dont want to do my art project so im here.
yes im here. im reflecting. im reflecting not on my "growth as an artist" but on the fact that tomorrow is our last lunch. we will never be scheduled to go to a specific corner of the school at 11:45 again.
i wont be making my way down the stairs of the school and placing my backpack in the sun away from the hazardous bird poop. i wont watch the trogdor anymore, i dont get to see the little kittens turn into big slutty cats jsut like their mom. i wont walk the long distances across the school to buy a pizza and soda. (that last ones probably for the best).
i wont haul my hot bag to mahoney or math anymore and go bipolar for the last period of the day walking into the classroom desperate for air because its so hot, only to be cold ten minutes later and seek refuge inside my sweater.
i wont sit behind jessica in TOK, in front of Rey in Spanish, behind Abi/in front of ginelle in English, with my lover and erica/ next to sherrie in art, behind sonia/ in front of Abi in Mahoney, and in front of Dayana in math.
im gonna miss those seating arrangements. im gonna miss making ridiculous jokes in mahoney that arent really that funny, but get a good laugh, which is ultimately the purpose anyway.
i cant deal with not coming into my classes and following the schedule thats been set for me for four years. on more than one occassion i will probably wake up at 6, get dressed brush my teeth, grab my bag, my cell phone, my ipod, and sit on the step at my door, waiting for chris to pick me up. but he wont come. he'll be in gainesville. if im asleep enough ill go so far as to call emily to come and get me. and we'll laugh.
there are so many people that are important to me that are going far away. i dont want to deal with that. i can deal with gainesville because its not so far away. The hardest departures for me will be that plane going to Medford Boston and that plane going to Providence. I cant even begin to conceptualize not seeing these people every day. i will talk to them, yes. but i wont be able to hug them when i want, i wont be able to hit him or play paperoo with them or do silly things with them like jump around and sing and laugh about whatever. or see her or feel her walking next to me, or say "i'll see you at the car" and hear "i parked in the gates of hell". theres alot of things im going to miss. i hate that i dont get to experience these new things with the comfort of two of my best friends around me. but i know it had to happen. i will have to learn to deal with that. i love you Jonathan and Emily.
this is not to say that the plane going to Philly with three of my favorite boys on it, that plane to providence with that other beautiful girl, that plane to st. louis with an amazing friend, that plane to amherst with the love of my life, the one going to Hotlanta with a good friend and funny person on it wont be difficult to hear come off the runway. i will miss these people, people who accepted me in their group as a friend and who have now become my soulmates. i love you rafa, jay, tina, resh, carmella, adrian, sergio, christian, erica, andres. maybe when we come back to visit all together we can sit out there and have some lunch.
there are people outside of my school who mean alot to me as well. Namely two boys who have been there for me a lot. They have made me laugh, they let me know they care about me, they tell me they love me, they do crazy things, and i never have a bad time when im with them. i love you Raul and Luis.
Im gonna miss Miculito, also making his way to st louis and many others who have made my life amazing. i could not have done without my friends. without them i would be that scared little girl with the glasses who keeps to herself and hides from attention.
i love you.
