Be careful what you wish for

The house rattles from the slams of the wind, as if begging for a blanket to cover its cold concrete walls. Crying, pleading.. Thinking, when will this end? So what if the wind just stopped? Left the house with nothing but silence? Would not the house then be freed of its pain, of its struggles, of the dreary cold wind? Would not the house stop its crying? The house begged for this torturing to end, so the wind simply stopped. All you had to do was ask, the wind clarified. The house, confused, alone, stripped of purpose, sat in the dreary stillness. What now? Wait, I was wrong, the house desperately shouted after the wind. Aching. Come back. I know you will only freeze me to my core, I know you'll never be any good for me, only thrashing against my walls.. until eventually they're too weak to hold themselves. I know I will eventually crumble and fall. I know it's best if I let you go, you're leaving peacefully as you've made it clear. So respectfully to my surprise and hate. I know you're no good for me. But I know the misery of your absence is much greater than the pain of your torture. So won't you just stay a while longer?

5-4-3-2-1... poof. memories.

Countdown begins. She stares hazily at the clock as it ticks down the hour. 9:39. And 45.. wait, 46 seconds. FLASH--A beautiful smile on his face, bright enough to light up any bleak dark night. He's chasing me, her that is.. I was someone entirely different with him. Springing down the street without a care in the world. Laughing, they're laughing so hard. He's chasing her. Chasing her. She turns around to give him a smirk that says it all-- he's all she needs. She never wants this moment to end. One pounce later, he gently tackles her unto the green summer grass, slightly moist from the droplets of the sprinklers. The perfect California sunshine smiles down on them, as if happily approving. He flashes her that irresistible smile--the kind that makes you never want to bleak because you never, for a second, want to miss it. He's all she needs. FLASH. 9:51. A blank television screen, empty chairs with invisible occupants surround her, the sound of silence speaks more clearly than anything she's heard. All she has are her memories. That's all she needs.

A Day of Silence with INVISIBLE CHILDREN- April 25th.
Please click the link above please ^

52 LRA attacks in 60 days. 

Joseph Kony isn't slowing down. 

Neither can we.

most of us live a very comfortable, easy life compared

to those whose struggles expand beyond divorced parents

and bankruptcy. Not to offend anyone, but take a good

look at what you've done this week. Now answer to yourself,

has it benefited your fellow men in any way? Have you

been the change you wish to see in the world? It's never too

late for us to set a path beyond the norms of society.

These people need help, help we can EASILY give.

Take a few minutes, read up on this cause. I promise if 

you do you will never regret it.  

APRIL 25th, 2011-

one day of silence for the 25 years Central Africa 

has been silenced by the LRA. 

I'm joining, are you?

Papa Bear And The No Smokes

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please.. I haven't blogged since the birth of the new Radiohead CD so this should get across how great they are. You're welcome in advance ;)

-enjoy.

RVCA ready at yaaa

I got an invite to the RVCA party with

special performances by TJ Panthers

& Allah Las. Even though I'm

on the verge of crying 

because I can't go,

I thought I'd

share..

GO!

for me..

pillow talk..

"Creatures! Carolyn, creatures."-Jordan Weed

"That is sooooo AWESOME!!"-Jordan Weed

(Just some of the sleep talk rambles, only imagine this 

being said in the most animated voices.. while sleeping.)

I sincerely don't understand how people can entertain me

so much even in their sleep.. I almost just wanna stay up 

till 4 in the morning every night just to here the new ramblings

of Jordan Weed and Carolyn Theurer. Sometimes one starts

rambling, then the other starts, then they start to chatting

it up.. ooookkk guys, I want in on this 'let's tell

each other secrets in code in our sleep' club!

I even slept in their bed last night.. in the 

middle. Like clock work, Jordan started

talking to me in her sleep 

at 4AM.

PREDICTABLE.

ON THE OTHER HAND.. 

I got my Chongolicious on tonight at the cholo party. It's weird to me how many people don't know what a cholo/chola is. Maybe it's a west coast thing? If you have not a clue what I'm saying right now.. type in Chongalicious on youtube, watch the first video that pops up, and you'll understand what it really means to 'lean like a cholo'.

These are my girls: Elephantisha, Obamaniqua, Spongebobeeshia, Koolaidria, and King'Kong'Quisha.
I can just hear it now:
"Don't be rude, don't be crude, and don't get an attitude."

Breaking honor code one .99 cent lip liner
wearing chola at a time.

P.S.

it's a little unfair 

how much good music I've discovered tonight.
Seriously, I think I've doubled the size of
my iTunes.

Who needs sleep?

Good day

Sometimes Monday morning feels like a giant cockroach in your face.

AND sometimes..

Your best friend is trying to hide to have a break down

and you have to hunt down which bathroom stall she is hiding
in and quietly creep in 007 style on the floor. It's called a military crawl,
I invented it. Then sometimes she gets scared cause she only sees your hair
and you starring at her on the toilet. Then you both start crying because
you're laughing so hard because you're stuck on the bathroom floor,
with Spanish book in hand, in between two stalls because
your backpack is too thick. Then people start coming
in the bathroom and you're

laying

on

the

floor..

This friend of mine -she has a history of peeing her pants when
I make her laugh-so then she had to rip her pants off to make good use
 of the toilet she was sitting on. Based off these typical daily experiences,
it's safe to say we will probably both have dates for Valentine's Day.
Oh what?! Guys aren't into that?? Oops.

AHHEMM! Testing.. 1,2,3

If you have been wondering where I've been.. I've just been out living my life, where the freak have you been??
 If you have been wondering if I was kidnapped and/or killed, I guess it's a matter of opinion;
Either way, thanks for checking up on me! I'll quickly update you on some highlights of my life as Nellie Rajabi..
who am I kidding, my nickname is Chatty Catchy and the most used phrase my friends say to me is 'cool story'. Anywho,

Mother Theresa AKA me..
NOTTTT (I wish)

Solved world hunger. -CHECK.

Conquered world peace. -DONE.

Got my Bieber feaver on. -DUH.

Okay, in reality I'm not all that cool, but I was with the Bieber beaver on Waikiki after his Honolulu concert phenomena. Every 16 year old girl would've been jealous of me.
Just for that, I am so accomplished.

Here are some real highlights of times passed.
Let's see, where did we part? Oh yes, Rex, that little maggot of a faggot dinosaur. 
He finally got fixed by Ske and his amazing landlord Buddy's son as a surprise to me. We were getting along great until he attempted to kill me again!
Strike 3 rex, YOU'RE OUT!
So I put the buttmunch to sleep.. FOR GOOD. Haaa made you look! I'm not that mellowdramatic, I just popped his tire and grounded him. No pun intended. 

Finals Week

Mother nature decided to show up uninvited to my one way ticket to finals week Hell. It's funny how you put 'party' at the end of a really crappy job to make it sound fun and you almost convice yourself. 
Example: study party, cleaning party, packing party. Umm excuse me, since when did packing make the 2010 most treasured activities list?

Home sweet home

Strands

Newport Beach Temple

Didn't really feel like leaving the Laie nest for some reason, but once I got to Orange county it was hard to get in the mood for coming back though. Ohhh "The OC".. you wonder is it anything like the show? Normally I would lie and say no in hopes of preserving any kind of decent reputation we have left, but I'm gonna let you in on a little secret that is not really a secret at all.. It's exactly like the show.
The real OC is the real OG, yaaa heard?? 
It's as addicting as that candy bar you can't put down while updating your facebook status. When I first moved to Laie I was like woahhh everyone looks like they dress out of a thrift store and not even the good vintage kind.. then I got used to the garbage bag type of lifestyle and even almost conformed.. Until I went back home for a reality check.
The first day back I was people watching at my shop in Laguna and I was so confused/intimidated/captivated by how nice everyone looked. At first I was like woahhhh why does everyone look like they just came from a Vogue photoshoot? then a couple days later my question turned more into.. where can I buy those boots? Ha. Orange County sucks you in like a black hole and changes you fast if you let it. BEWARE. Other than that, being with everyone was great.

I missed..

my friends.

Steen and Trav.
Now all we need is Evan!!!

Downsides?

Until next time,
