I feel like my parents are on the "perfect" mask for my cousin (takin it WeSt SiDe to find a job). They rag on me all the time for not doing the simplest things and my dad blew up in front of Sue and Jenna. I didn't do the laundry, I didn't take care of my dog's poo, I didn't tell my parents how late I was going to be out for, I missed the PSAT(truly my bad), I swore at my dad BAH!
Its like in the Salem Witch trials when if you were charged with but denied being a witch, they forced a confession out by peine forte et dure, rock upon rock being placed on the chest until they sold out or died. I'm dying here, man. Get me into college!

KR vs. KM, a venn diagram
KR: narrow-minded, intimidating (or excellent depending on which side of popularity you're on), set on calling KM ghetto, Puritan? (bump+grind = no dances4therestoftheyear), green+gold.
KM: chill. I think of Jill. Holla royals.
KM: chill. I think of Jill. Holla royals.

having fun writing honors project
EDIT: Finished! need to animate.. gah.
J - Jenna
P - Priscilla
L - Lily
S - Sue
Q - Quan
S: Hey, you guys. I just watched Gossip Girl and Serena Van Doorwoodsen looked super cute in
this white bikini.
Q: Ahh!! I can't wait for school to be over!
P: Yeah. All these projects are crampin' my style.
J: School is never over for me! I have to plan XC season with Coach Ammons, perform my
duties as Interhigh Rep, and chill at the lake with everybody, everyday.
L: Yeah, well then you can live here. Anybody else want to tan with me? I have stickers that
you can put on to make for a radical tan. Mrs. Jensen would love the liger one.
S: Well, by the time I'm back I'll be so tan I'd be black.
J: Where are you going?
S: I'm jetting to Africa to volunteer. I think I'll be teaching children how to speak
American.
P: You better be careful-
S: Don't worry, I have 5 bottles each of bug spray and sun block in my luggage. No Lyme
disease for me!
Q: She means that you could be raped!
S: What?
Q: Yeah, it's, like, a war zone there.
(silence)
L: So, I booked us all tickets to Africa.
All: What? S: Yay!
S: Hi, we'd like to check in to our rooms for the volunteer program.
Guy: Welcome to Darfur! Let me show you all your huts.
L: Ooh.. The native experience..
Q: You duncecap. I don't even have service here.
J: It's so warm here!
(Unpacked)
P: Alright. Let's get to work.
Guy: You know how to sew, right?
L: I made my own skirt once.
Guy: You. Tend to these patients.
All: OMG! (Gasps)
S: What happened to him?
Guy: He's a farmer from a small village close to here. It got attacked by the rebels and he
was stabbed several times. Do you're magic, Skirt girl.
L: I shouldn't have got those plane tickets..
(whirring activity)
L: Tada.
Guy: You're done for today, but come back tomorrow.
Q: That was brilliant!
J: How'd you do that?
L: Oh, bless your hearts. My late Russian grandmother could've even embroidered a swan on
him.
P: Let's go back to our straw hut. I need to clean my Jordans.
S: It's soo hot. We can lie down on the earthy ground too.
(Later)
P: Cheese and rice!
J: What is it?
Q: The rebels are coming! The rebels are coming!
(outside is burning, screaming, running on fire, guns)
L: Jinkies, we girls gotta get out of here before we-
S: Stop scaring me with this rape thing!
L: I was just going to say run over, but...
P: Let's go!
(Running)
Q: I can't believe this is happening. Seeing white people killing black people because
they're black is one thing, but black people killing each other?!
P: It's an ethnic thing! Didn't you pay attention when we were watching Hotel Rwanda? The
Portugese bred tall Africans but put the minority in charge, causing catastrophic revenge
and unleashing hatred?
Q: I can't think right now!
J: Where are we even going?
Q: Hey, there's the airport!
L: I was meant to wear boots for walking, not running!
S: We need to go anywhere but here.
P: I have an idea. My family in Mexico can keep us for a while. We can still salvage our
summer!
L: Pinatas!
(Airplane zoom)
(Wild west guitar strum)
P: Welcome to Meh-hee-co.
J: These soccer players are scrumptious.
All: Teeheehee.
P: Here's the catch. You need to wear these.
(zoom in: bundle of red clothes)
L: Why?
P: It's all about who you're with when you come to this part of Mexico. For now, you're with
my cousin's, La Familia. (walk up to house) Felix is our body guard until we get tickets
back to the US. We've had enough excitement for one summer.
S: I know! And watch for tattoos because they tell which gang their in.
Q: Jeez. I'll order our tickets tonight at this rate. Our vacation is down the pooper.
(Walking around)
L: Information
(man comes up)
Guy: You need a job?
S: No, it's ok. We're only going to be here for a little while.
Guy: Oh yeah? Where are you going?
(Look)
J: Mm, we're going back to the States soon.
Guy: Oh yeah? You can go for free. You make mucho dinero. Fo sho fo sho.
(OMG face Quan)
Q: Hey girls, huddle.
P: I know how this is going to go. Remember that movie we watched in Mrs.Rue's class?
Maria full of grace?
J: No. I was sleeping.
S: Gasp. He wants us to swallow the finger-sized cocaine tablets!
L: I have problems even swallowing my vitamins!
Q: He's looking at us funny. We better scram right now before he beheads us. (run sound)
Guy: I just wanted them to drive trucks full of potatoes to the US..
Felix: Where have you been? The main house has been raided by Los Vatos Locos. You must
leave at once. You're relatives are already on their private jet. Follow these directions.
I will join you after I kill the man that cut off my ear...
(close up)
P: Vamanos..
(Private Jet)
S: Well, this is nice.
J: Turn off the air conditioning, Lily! Go in the refrigerator for a while, honestly!
(Walks up to huge refridgerator)
L: I'd probably fit in it anyway. Fine.
P: Abuelita, where are we going? (spanish babble)
P: Hey you guys. For now we are going to be flying around. We can't land in the Americas
because Los Vatos Locos are all over those areas.
Q: Well, we can probably stay at my grandfather's in China. Los Vatos Locos aren't around
there.
L: Ooh! Yakisoba!
J: I want to buy a kimono.
Q: Yeah. We have hot springs, too.
S: Sounds like a plan!
(airplane zoom)
(asian intro)
Q: u-moi! (asian babble)
Grandpa: (asian babble)
S: Take a picture of me with these pretty flowers. (click)
J: Ooh, they complement your eyes..
Grampa: Uuff. (gets a hernia)
Q: OMG. Let's get him in the house. I don't think you should touch his cherry blossoms
because he gets a heart attack.
P: Got it. Let's get some grub.
(Eating)
Q: Yah. Did you know that 70% of China's rivers and waterways are already badly polluted?
L: That's pretty bad, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as the smog around here.
S: It's from all the coal burning. Everyone here has respiratory illnesses.
Q: And chemical plants are ruining the crops. Many farmers complain about that.
P: Why doesn't anybody do anything?
J: Cuz the stupid government ninnies take orders from the Communist Party!
Guy: Hey! You can't talk about the government like that! I think I'm going to have to arrest
you!
Q: Great job, Jenna. We're leaving China because of you.
L: Can I have this to go?
(On the run)
S: Didn't you know that China is big on censorship? They don't even let their citizens look
at the Wall Street Journal!
Q: They do it to keep control of their people, but with commercialism growing, there's bound
to be more reporting.
P: OMG You know Lisa Ling the reporter? Her sister Laura and another reporter Euna Lee are
captured and are sentenced to 12 years hard labor!
Q: There were a lot of reporters during the 2008 Beijing Olympics and over 180 foreign
correspondents were either detained, harassed, or attacked!
Guy: (roar)
S: Shut up, your making him more mad!
J: Don't worry. I have an idea!
S: Huff, huff. Where are we going?
J: I know where to go. We can run past India and take a plane back home from the Middle East
L: My boots are going to run ragged!
Q: Hurry the Chinese government is after us!
(map with moving line of where they are)
P: OMG we're here.
L: Sweet India...
J: I feel so invigorated! Does anyone want to do a cooldown lap with me?
Q: First of all, you're a freak. Second of all, this place is almost as bad as China.
S: I smell duce.
Kid: It's because we share an outhouse.
P: We, as in the whole slum population.
Kid: Exactly! Hey you know who I am?
P: (to girls) He looks so familiar...
L: Slumdog Millionare! You're on Slumdog Millionare!
Kid: Yeah girl!
J: I read that you didn't have a home on yahoo.com. Is that still true?
Kid: No. India rebuilt the slums with apartments and I was bought one.
J: Well that's nice. We need to go now. We need to reach Iraq by sundown.
Kid: Wait wait. I'll get you there. Take these. Go on the bus. It is thanks to you Americans
for nominating that film ten times.
All: Radical!
(on bus)
L: What do you think the Middle East is going to be like?
S: I know you're going to have to find some kind of clothing for your body! The women there
don't wear veils for nothing!
L: What do you mean?
J: Honey, they practice Islam. And women are supposed to keep their bodies to their husbands
so they hide it from others.
P: In some places, they can't even drive!
Q: what does that have to do with clothes?
L: It means that all of this sexism is totally unfair.
P: Yeah. In that world, men have all the power. There's polygamy, segregation, forced
marriage..
Q: I'll have to disagree. Some places like Qatar are ruled by more liberal rulers like Hamad
bin Khalifa Al Thani. Women can run for office. And, they can drive, Priscilla.
L: If I remember right, your presentation said they are still segregated.
Q: Fair enough.
J: I worry about the girl's education.. They are in the paper more than boys for their
academic successes. It's because of early marriages and tradition. Tut tut.
(silence)
P: You know what's really crazy? Bombs.
S: 9/11.
L: Saddam Hussien. Zieg Heil!
J: There was no link with Saddam Hussein and 9/11, Lily.
Q: I think Al-Qaeda did it because they were mad that the US interfered with their
government. But there are so many conspiracies.
P: Like this one. Why are there guys in suits coming after us?
J: We should run.
Man: The young "Slumdog Millionaire" actor Azharuddin Ismail told us to pick you all up to
escort you to his private yacht.
S: You're going to America..?
Man: Wherever you want.
P: Let's get in, yo!
(inside)
Q: We've been to all these places and it's been kinda crazy.
J: It's just that everyone else has their own problems. It's like how the US is notorious
for Guantanamo Bay.
P: They waterboard people! And worse.. You watched Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo
Bay?
L: Nasty!
P: Yeah.
S: Our healthcare sucks too. The insurance companies try to make a profit by rejecting the
sick and scouring previous ailments for stupid reasons not to pay. Like yeast infection.
J: That's horrible.
L: You know, if the US sucks, we could always by tickets to...
All: FRANCE!!!

Wedding Crashers is way better than Good Luck Chuck.
And the buses in Mexico are like rickety roller coasters. And it's way easier to get whistles.
I have fallen in love. Screw America.

Please Tell Me..
That I'm not crazy. That I don't suck at driving.
It's like everytime I drive with my mother, I get, "And remember when your father's car got totalled? We need at 'Student Driver' sign so at least other's will take pity on you" (real quotes). This lame-ass kid that I was friends with long ago now sports one of those signs when she drives with her mommy. To bring more light to this story, she still uses a booster seat and she's already like 5'6"?
I think things are more chill with my dad - when I'm driving in open streets. When we're in a crowd, he shits his pants. Cussing and shit, shitfuck my life! I'm in my lane, right? Textbook finesse, but when there's an oncoming car, he's all up in the stank eye.
What happens when I actually fuck up? Tell me that you've made crazy mistakes - before I begin post two of my freakout.
P.S. Just driving now racks my nerves. Sendmetoapsychiatrist?
