As Promised

I know I know. It’s been FOREVER since the last blog. But well, I’ve been really busy. As you all know, closing night of HHN I met Rachel. She now happens to be my best friend. I know it’s crazy! But seriously people…we haven’t gone a day since November 1 with out talking to each other. It’s crazy. But it’s love. Instant friendship. So November…wow. I don’t even know where to begin…it was a long but amazing month. Hung out with Vegas 2…Freak Show…Rachel…Alicia. Saw Twilight…lived through an earthquake, which freaked the living hell out of me just so you know. I slept in a car over night almost got arrested/given a ticket…it was just CRAZY!! I didn’t even go back to Universal until Thanksgiving when I had to work. I worked the day after too. That was fun though. I missed Aidan. He is so much fun. I got to see a bunch of Universal people that I haven’t seen since like FOREVER because for all of October I hadn’t been at Universal during the day to see any of them. That was nice. Now in December, Grinchmas has started over at Universal. It’s so cute. And I mean, seriously, Vegas 2 with that Who nose on…I will be honest. I almost fell off the tram. I was laughing my ass off. I wouldn’t be surprised if I actually lost weight from laughing so hard. It was hysterical! I would say that he was the sexiest Who that I have ever known, but I would be wrong. There is this new guy, Poppin’ Who…that man is sexy. OMFG. Like seriously and he is so much fun. The first day we met him he invited us to his “house-warming” party. Too bad we couldn’t go. I would have loved to. =( But I’m sure I’m going to see him again and we’ll see, maybe he will be having some other parties or something. Who knows. So Freak Show is playing the Grinch and a bunch of other Bill and Ted people are all over Universal right now. It’s so funny. Especially to see them all with the Who noses, they are so cute. So anyway continuing on, December should be a fun month. My birthday is coming up on December 30. It is going to be such an intense day. Early in the morning I am getting my braces taken off then I am going over to Universal Studios to chill with my friends there then I am going to Jillians to have a little party with a few friends then back into Universal and then dinner at Karl Strauss for all of my other friends. It should be an interesting day. I’ll be back soon with more details and pictures about/from everything…Oh as a last note..you can't foget the swing dancing....

Me +Rachel + Grinchmas = Happiness

Aidan and Me @ Waterworld

I took Aidan captive....

Rachel and I taking a break from dancing

I know, I know

Okay so it has taken me forever to get back on here...but I am back and that is what counts right? The thing is, I have this totally awesome blog for you guys...I got bored today and wrote it. It's about a page long BUT I saved it to my computer at school. So I will have to wait until Monday to post it up. SORRY!!! It is going to be good though, I can promise you that. You will definately laugh. It's pretty long becaue there are about four different stories that I wanted to share with everyone. I am sure that you all will enjoy it. :)

Until then: California is actually getting cold. I know it's a total and complete shocker

I mysteriously lost weight, or so people tell me.

and last but no where near least: I just can not seem to get away from Bill and Ted!!

October.....

Wow. I can't even begin to explain how amazing this past month has been. I had a feeling that Halloween Horror Nights would be way different then it had ever been before but I wasn't expecting this. My relationships with so many people has grown so much over the past month. I made so many new friends. People that I am truley honored to have in my life. There have been some weak moments when things didn't go as planned but there was always something else to make up for it. I laughed, I cried, I screamed out with joy. Of course being me I flirted like I have never flirted before. Scored some phone numbers. But it's the friendships that really matter. People ask me all the time what it is about Universal that makes me want to keep going back and before this month I honestly never knew the answer. But recently I figured it out. It's the people. The way that they have become my family. There are people that I have met there that would come pick me up in the middle of nowhere if I was stuck there. You don't find that kind of friendship everyday. I am so glad that I got to experience this month the way that I did. I really want to thank the cast of Bill and Teds'. HHN would not have been the same without you guys. I love you guys forever! Rachel, what the fuck can I say? I met you in line and now we're as close as best friends. How often does that happen? Brian, you already know I love you. I don't need to state the obvious (even though I just did) Jason L. , you are so much fun and I love talking to you. And last but no where near least, Jason Ramsburg, for choreographing an amazing show! You are an amazing person. I love you and hope to see you soon!!!
I can't wait until next year!
Lots and Lots of love

Update and Halloween Horror Nights

So, I know i haven't been on for a while so I'm posting an update about everything that is going on...first and most important HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!!!! I was sooo happy. It started on October 3rd and I have been every night since. It is so awesome. Bill and Teds was AMAZING, SPECTACULAR, THRILLING, EXCITING, LOUD....the list goes on and on. Honestly you people need to get your butts to HHN. Closing night is November 1st. So hurry up. Anyways back to life, school is boring as ever. No surprise there. Jared can only keep us entertained for so long. My social life has really only consisted of HHN for the past few weeks. Between that and my Saturday math class (for extra credit) I have no life. I took over 700 pics of Bill and Teds though so go check them out! www.myspace.com/aliciarubyphotography...

Hope all is well with everyone!!!

National Treasure Come To Life?????

Wow, where to start. Ms. Perkins. She has got to be one of the best teachers I have ever had. She has this incredible way of being strict but totally staying chill. She cracks jokes, makes fun of history and creates inside jokes for each class. I don't think that I have ever dreaded going to her class. (Okay maybe on a test day, i'm only human) There are so many things about her and her class that are just down right fun. And then, if you are lucky, you get Jared. Jared, wow, Jared. I don't even know who to compare him to so that you would understand. Try and imagine Dick Van Dyke, Jay Leno, and Dane Cook, and a little bit of Nicholas Cage all in one. He is possibly the funniest 16 year old guy I know. We're talking about the type of kid who stands up in the middle of our American History class and reinacts a scene from National Treasure. (hence the Nicholas Cage) He performed the scene where Ben Gates steals the Decleration of Independence...it was beyond hysterical. I had tears in my eyes. I mean the WHOLE class was crackingup. You know that you are truely funny when your teacher stops her lesson because she can't stop laughing. True Story. That was Ms. Perkins' class. Just in case you wondering. Between Jared and Ms. Perkins, American History has never been better.

And I Thought......

Now as far as I know, the constitution states that in the case of law everyone is innocent until proven guilty. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of that going on. People are being locked up for crimes they didn't commit. Everyday somebody gets put away for something they didn't have anything to do with. It's really making me kind of sad. It's so not fair. Although, fair doesn't exist. It's a mere thought, hope, a dream. I hate how there are so many more bad things in the world then there are good. That might not be true but it certainly seems like it. I want so badly to just go a week with out hearing about more people dying in the middle east , or some priest getting arrested for rape. I don't want to get the phone calls saying that yet another friend of mine has died in Iraq. I want a week where I hear about marriages and job promotions. Things that are happy, things you want to celebrate. I realize now that this is a very big wish, a wish that will probably never happen. I guess I am on my own. Trying to stay happy. I have friends that I love with all my heart. They keep me happy...enough. We know how to make each other smile and that is the important thing. I'll stop with all the depressing words. Happy topics to come.

Okay, So, It's Time For The Sex Talk...

Okay we all knew it was coming sooner or later. I chose the sooner. So, if you know me, you know my outlook and opinions on sex. It has changed over the years but for right now I am at my firmest point in opinion. Does that make sense? Ha ha. Oh well. So my opinion on sex. WOW. I hope you are sitting down. Okay well, lets start off with single people. People, you are SINGLE!!! You aren't tied down to anyone. Go out, have fun, get laid. Who is it going to hurt? Don't sit at home complaining to your bff over facebook im about how much your sex life sucks. Log off (don't worry we all have facebook mobile now) and go out and have fun! That's all I have to say for you people. Next are my lovely married folks. Well guys, I'm sorry but you're married. You made a commitment. I hope you are in love and know what you are doing. Because sleeping with someone that isn't your husband/wife, well that's just wrong. Unless you guys are into that kind of thing, then you guys have my total and complete blessings. Have a good time. But please, no cheating. It's just not right. And not because you signed a piece of paper that says so, but because morally it's wrong. Okay, now we start with the toughies...boyfriends/girlfriends in the service or over/underage relationships. First, let me say something. There is a large difference between sex and making love. When you make love, it's to someone who you are probably in a serious relationship with, or you're married. Or maybe it's your best friend and you both just realized that you are madly in love with each other. Who knows. But that is making love. Sex, well sex is sex. There is nothing to it. You and some girl/guy, maybe somebody you even know, get together and you talk, you might drink, then you both realize how horny you are. So you find a condom, and you screw. That's it. I mean obviously there is more to it. It all depends on what you like to do, what your partner likes to do...you get the point. So back to my opinions. If your boyfriend/girlfriend is in the services...well this gets complicated. That is really left up to you guys. It's hard when one person in 8,000 miles away. If you guys have some sort of agreement, well all the power to ya. If not, girls its time to pay a visit to the sex shops and guys ...stock up on your porn. Better to be faithful then to be broken up with someone over ichat. And now, I've saved the best for last...over/underage relationships. This one is also hard. I personally don't' believe in age. It shouldn't matter. If you are 26 and you have feelings for a 16 year old, who the hell cares??? Ten years, big deal. Look at Hugh Hefner. Unfortunately the "higher powers" a.k.a. the government feels differently. It changes from state to state but in most of America the age of consent is 18. There are a few places where it is 16. Like VEGAS...such a beautiful place. Anyway, if you guys like each other then go for it. If you're gonna have sex, just keep in on the DL. Make sure you use protection. You don't want a pregnancy. That would get messy. You all have my blessings no matter what your situation is. We live in a free country, do what you want. Just try and be smart about it.

Presley's B-Day and some Updates

Today was my good friend Presley's' sweet 16 party. It was a surprise and believe me, she was SHOCKED. Around four twenty we were picked up by a stretch limo. A Chrysler limo might I add. So out popped her boyfriend, Devon, and she almost fell over. She was so overwhelmed with joy. Around four forty five we all piled in the limo and went on our merry way. Where were we going? We had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!!! Nobody but the limo driver and our "chaperon" knew. So we're having fun drinking some sodas and blasting music when we pull up in front of Disney's Soda Fountain and Studio Store. We get in and were we shocked...oh my god. We had these HUGE ice cream things that we were supposed to finish. We finished both of them. Every last bite. So then we pile back into the limo and start driving away. Again we didn't know where we were going. Eventually we ended up at Presley's boyfriends house. Then the party started. Music, Food, Dancing, Food, Music, Food....you get the point. It was a fun night all in all. Here are some pictures.

Presley when she realized what was going on.

Me being....me.

All of us in front of the limo.....

Hump Day!!!

I'll start off with: Happy Hump Day everyone!

So I'm just curious, what did I do to deserve this? First I sprain my ankle, now Ms.Goodman is making me write a paper about John Smith? Who I absolutely despise. I've got some issues with him. I will always hate Disney for totally changing what ACTUALLY happened. I mean come on, they totally reversed it all. Those losers. Anyways it's Hump Day. Which means tomorrow is Thursday, which means that the day after is FRIDAY! Which I'm looking forward to. I can't say why yet because I am sworn to secrecy , but you guys will hear all about it. Saturday should be pretty good. Maybe "hanging out" with 23, then I have a wedding dinner for my sister. No, she isn't actually my sister, but she is close enough. Anyway she is getting married in October in New Jersey. So we're doing a west coast thing. Not all of us can fly all the way out there. I wish I could. So that's about it for today. Hope all is well with everyone!

Seriously, Are You For Real???

Okay, I'm sorry, but she lost my interest a LONG time ago. An hour ago to be exact. This is just insane. Ugh. Biology for two hours. Do they really expect us to pay attention the WHOLE time? So I am writing for all you people. Not that anybody actually reads this. Yet I continue to blab about my unstable, un-normal, indescribable life. For all of you that are in school, you know how I feel. So there is this guy, lets call him.....23. He is cute, smart, and totally interested. We IM all the time, talking about various things; always really cool, really chill. But then we get together in real life and there is this weird barrier between us. I really want to break that barrier, I just don't know how to. He knows a side of me that many people have never seen. I feel comfortable with him. It's nothing like that. I want to figure that out. Then there is this other guy, lets call him...Turtle. Now Turtle is GORGEOUS. OMG do I want him. Here's the problem, he has absolutely no interest. I don't think. OMG, if he did, I would be THE happiest person in the world. Wow. Um. yeah. Some very nice thoughts just went through my head. He is so hot and he is really sweet. It's so cute how his face lights up when he See's us. That's about it for now. I've got 25 minutes left in the day. Then I am released into freedom. Thank God. Or whoever. Anyways, comment me, email me.

Is It Normal, Or Is It Just Me???

I honestly can't tell anymore. I don't know when things are normal or if it's just me. There are so many things that I do and think and some of them scare the shit out of me. I'm realizing things from my past that I would have never thought twice about, things that are bad. Certain things that I can't do anything about anymore. It's too late. And I don't know if what I think happened, actually did, only because it was at least four years ago. I can't tell the truth from my imagination anymore. I don't know how to fix this, if it's even fixable. I don't even know what "it" is. I'm going days thinking one and only one thing. "I wish I was home, in my bed, crying." I constantly feel like crying. I cry myself to sleep, to school, when I'm just sitting around. I hate feeling like this, but I don't know how to make it go away. I guess I can't do much until I identify what the problem is. I guess in a way, it goes back to the whole question of what life is. Why is it so complicated? Why are we forced to go through so many things? Why pain and hurt, loss and sorrow? Why does it seem like there are more bad aspects to life then there are good? is this really what we were put on Earth for? Is this why we are here? Day to day I ask my self so many questions that I can't answer.

Okay So...

Okay so, I didn't end up missing my flight. So I got home on time. YAY! If you weren't one of the people I called, then you have no idea how panicky I was. There were so many complications I thought I was going to die. I was going crazy. And now as I write this, while sitting in a costco parking lot I might add, I realize how happy I am to be home. Back in Los Angeles. I guess it's true, you never really realize how much you miss home until you leave. I have to say, I did cry a few times. Mainly worrying about my dad. Goes to show how powerful love is. I have to say,I had a huge panic attack, but that was for other reasons. You don't realize many things until you don't have them anymore. It got right now to me missing the buses (mta). I think that by growing up in such a large city, and having so many options, going to a small town like Margate really makes a difference. You can feel it and see it. Obviously. I miss Jersey, sure, but will I ever end up there? I can't see it happening. I can see moving out of L.A. but not to a small town. If anything, to another city. Anyway I'm home, and safe and everything is all good. As good as it can be anyway. I hope everyone is well.

Lost In The Skys

It's Atlanta all over again. Taking off 2 hours late, ,already missed my flight. It's ridiculous. On top of that, they are STILL charging for EVERYTHING. I am going to end up in a hotel room in Phoenix, Arizona. WOW is all I can even say. I don't know if I should laugh or cry at this point. Normally I wouldn't even care, but the stewardesses are being very rude. What do they expect at this point? People are going to be pissed. Not many people want to spend the night in a hotel, away from home, or wherever they are going. Think of the people that are traveling by themselves... Think of how lonely they will be. If you don't know me then you should know that generally I am a very spontaneous and friendly person, but even this is getting to me. I guess I will talk to people, get to know them. As much as I love flying, I think this is why I like trains better. I guess my ipod and cell phone will have to be my sole entertainment tonight. Oh well. I want to especially thank Alicia + Phil for providing my pure amusement for the past two weeks. Thank you thank you. I LOVE YOU GUYS FOREVER!!!

Eating Out in New Jersey

It goes back to the everyone knows everyone. You go to a new place, and automaticall you know all the waitresses. Most girls, and you probably went to high school together. It's funny because they talk more about their social lives and how they've been, then the food you're supposed to be ordering. They re-connect. Phone numbers, myspaces, and e-mail addresses are exchanged and plans are made to go get drinks. It's fun and relaxed. In a way, so much better then L.A. Everyone is so nice and they really try to help you out. I wish that the places in L.A. were like this. People are so afraid of who their customers are that they don't take a chance to be the friendly extraordinary people they are. They are stiff and don't add anything to their job. It's rare that you find waiters who are fun and comfortable. Really makes me miss the Jersey Shore.

Notes to the ones I love...part 1

Alicia
I can always rely on her for everything. She always has the perfect thing to say. There are two people that can make me smile no matter what and she is one of them. She understands how I feel. I love her so much for it. I don't know where I would be without her. We just connect like that. God knows why. But I would never do anything to jepordize our relationship. She means too much to me. I love her so much. Alicia, thank you for sticking with me through everything. I love you forever!

Him

He is smart, funny, beyond sexy, so why, why must he enter my life in the total wrong time. Okay not the total wrong time. But he doesn't want a relationship, honestly niether do I. I just want to have fun, with him of course, but will I get too attached? I can already see myself falling for him. Tell me what good can come of this? Besides the sex, because we all know that that would be amazing. There is no doubt there. Honestly, here is my question, what the fuck do i do?

A Jersey Girl From Cali Back In Jersey

Well the title said it all. I am a Jersey native who moved to Cali and now i'm back in Jersey for two weeks. It's good to finally be out of Los Angeles for a little bit. I'm getting a break from all the craziness that you get in LA. I love being here and being so close to the ocean and seeing all of these families and old houses. It's so great. I really love it here. I would love to end up here in the end. I am in Margate right now. It's near Atlantic City. South Jersey. Things are just so different out here. The way people act, the way things are done. It's really kind of funny. BUt it has a really homey feeling that is really welcoming. The thing that I love the most is all of the mom and pop style restuarants and stores. There aren't many chains, sure they have a McDonals, and CVS but I haven't seen a Starbucks or Jamba Juice since I got here. I feel odd being so far away from a Taco Bell though. I miss my Taco Bell. I feel close to my mom though, when i'm here. This was the place that she died. The last place she was, I fell like she is still here. God I miss her. And it's strange because I'm not even sure how I can. Seeing as how I never really got to know her. I was 15 months when she died. Anyway, I am here until August 30th. I'll be sure to post some pics soon.

xoxo

Acuality

What does it even mean?

I've been thinking about this all day.

Acuality, reality...why? Why do we even need them. Why can't we just be happy with our imaginations.

Nobody uses them anymore, the creative side of people is dying everyday. It's so sad. I was watching some little kids the other day and it just amazed me on how easy it is for them to entertain themselves. Even when just sitting in a waiting room, they find something to amuse themselves with. I wish that I could just go back to that. To not knowing what bored is, and always seeing the brighter side of things. We all wish that we were younger/older, fatter/skinnier....ect. I don't. I just wish that that part of my imagination would come back.

xoxo for now

Lunch in Los Angeles

So I went to lunch today with Jason who is a very very close and dear friend of mine.

It's funny how we started out in North Hollywood and ended up in Sherman Oaks at Mels.

Living in Los Angeles, there are so many options it can be hard to chose. I have spent 45 minutes just going up and down Ventura Blvd. trying to decide where to eat. How crazy is that? LA is such a big city that it's so easy to get lost in all of the magic that it holds. There are so many restaurants to choose from, so many different types of food. From all around the world even. In many towns you have the average burger joint, chinese, mexican, and Italian to choose from. In Ls Angeles, you have that times 10.

My first...

So here is my first post. What do I say? Is it wrong that i'm nervous?

I guess I should go over the basics right? But what do I say? Believe it or not, i'm usually the talkative one. Well you can read through this and then you'll get more of an idea of who I am.
