The Chi Chi Column

hi everyone!
who still comes here!
*cheeeeep*
well its good to know I'm not the only one surrounded by craploads of homework and more and more invitations to collegeaftercollegeaftercollege AHHHHHH!!!!

Anna's just laughing. being the more "academically inclined" of the two of us and in more advanced placement classes than I plan to EVER take, she received all hers last year. I have a whole waste can full of them, but i put them in there neatly, i never REALLY want to throw them away. :)

answering the standard question, Im fine. I had the flu on Valentine's Day, but was greatly cheered by an anonymous bouquet of roses.

(they were from Anna)

but still, how sweet!

I've been keeping up (barely) with work, Chemistry is hell. I do not have a mind for science. Im sorry, Einstein. Im working on this year's play, Romeo and Juliet, with the part of, Juliet. (AYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYY!Y!Y!Y!Y) who's romeo? well, we don't know. The regular guy left school, (moved actually) and the uderstudy has had some brain surgury (God bless) and we don't think he'll be back in time to learn the rest.

so. but that's a headache you don't really need to know about

also, my English teacher has asked me to go to Columbia's convention for writers later this week. I'll be there overnight, which I've noticed Ive havent done in the longest time. I miss the city at night! I think the convention's getting bigger, more and more kids from the East Coast! yay!

I didnt get to go last year, because my teacher was a prat** and wanted me to roast in hell. or just stay in tweety town and not go downtown with the writer's crowd
**please excuse the British slang - I've been watching too much Goblet of Fire (lol as if that was possible)

heeey!
im alive!
and busy!
but mostly alive!
(hopefully)

*pant**pant* one year...5 months...till graduation!!

lol jk i love junior year!
seniority minus pressure plus bragging rights over freshman *insert Saruman's omnipotent hand over palantir* MWAHAHAHAHA dance little freshman dance!!!!!!!!!!

so. life.
already having to start thinking about college.
mom. No. Julliard = NO.

i received a thingie in the mail about a literary arts college in English land.
it'd be great, but if only i can get a private jet fora ll me stuffed animals lol jkjk
i had SO much fun over Christmas!!!!
me and anna got a car.
Blue BMW.
used.
1995.
it's so awesome.
Anna instantly insisted we drive to Brooklyn to spend a month there one night.

if you have seen newsies: you better not be laughing. it wasn't funny. and i thought she was serious for a minute.
but we did go to Brooklyn with me cuuuuuhsins who have recently moved there (stephanie and harry) ...(and my aunt and uncle)
we went to Times Square for New Years.
when you're surrounded by a half a dozen 6 foot tall men (im only 5'4)with foul smelling beer so you can't see the ball drop, you wish you were at home with your sparkling cider watching it on TV. and after midnight after the face-sucking has reached its maximum, the umanimous thought of "ok!..................................now what?" is just so funny it's worth it. I found a piece of confetti in my hair TODAY.

lol happy 2006!!!
ill be in touch (serious. Im NOT LYING THIS TIME)

gtg (eh science fair.....project. yay)

lots of love,
Ella

something i'll NEVER unterstand. why juniors and seniors are so close in age, but when you're talking about a father and son with the same name, they're a whole generation apart.

I guess it's just one of those things about culture I'll never understand.

*sigh*
right. school.
well this year, our little St. Gabe's has taken a new patriotic outlook on life (i suppose countering out the beating-over-the-head-with-bibles outlook of years past.)


*massages bump on head* can't decide if it's for the better.

ah, but that's another story.

I guess this year will be my last play (waaaaaah)

for anyone who may read this in the next 5 months (let's hope anyone does) i am in need of opinions.
since i have worked on the farewell seniors play since freshman year, (one of the few who stuck too it ;)

*insert your own "follow your heart" pun here*
*insert pun about inserting things here*

i read that somewhere, cant remember where.

anyway, Mrs. Kashloslski has faith in me to HELP pick a play for spring.

HELP ME DECIDE!!!
a) guys and dolls
b) King and I
c) phantom of the opera
d) Alice in Wonderland (it would be cool- no clue howd wed pull it off)(i guess it's be a REVISED for stage Alice in Wonderland *twitch*)
e) Romeo and Juliet


eh. my mom is completely in denial that summer is OVER now.

she wont put the hot pink capris away *twitch*

worse, she won't turn off the air conditioning.

I'm spending lots of time at Lissa's house, watching movies and drinking hot cider.

but there is no warmth in Ella's house
*mwahahaha* there is only coldness.

coldness.

THE coldness.

( Ten Things That Bring me Joy )

whoo. no more jet lag.
yes. yes. that was TOTALLY MAD FUN!
i HAD an, oh, about 5 page diary-log with the memories created over the past 2 weeks, but the more I think about it, the more i think I left it on the plane. joy.
so I am sorry for all of you who were so anxiously anticipating my entry, (probably no one) but a summary will just have to do.

 the journey-goers: me, Anna, my parents, and my cousin Stephanie
 the itinerary: France, England, Ireland from July 21 - August 4

so. first thing's first. packing and picking up Stephanie. only Stephanie, because her brother Harry would be spending these two weeks at a military-type football camp in Iowa. yes, IOWA. oh wow. you could tell Stephanie would TOTALLY rather go to Cornland than Europeland. ah, jealousy settles in.

quote Stephanie: "I will never. EVER. EVER!!! be caught of my OWN FREE WILL in I-O-W-A at a football camp. it won't happen. put that straightjacket AWAY Anna! I'm not going to Cornland."

ah, the flight. six loooong hours in a jet next the obnoxiousness of Anna's knock knock jokes.

"hey Ella. knock knock"

 "shut up"

 "it's the imaginary concept of a door in a very cliqued pun!"

"mmmmmmmmmmm.....need sleep"

 france. ah. France. nice chateau-of-the-hard-the-pronounce-housenames. and I take FRENCH dude, MAN!

 lots of rats in chateaus. very dark. very. yeah. lets go back to the bed and breakfast, at least hey're aren't as many tourists there.

 July 23 - Paris

happy 16th birthday, Stephanie!! (and Dan Radcliffe XD) steph was really happy of spending her 16th birthday in Paris. it's so. beautiful. and old. and quaint. and dirty. but all this was kinda ruined by the huge inflatable Tour de France everything and the Americans running around with "Go Lance" and American flags painted on their heads, chests, and even you don't want to know. yeah. that kinda ruined the nice peaceful Parisian flair.

dad: hey, girls, wanna go see the bike riders ride into France tomorrow? it'll be exciting!

me: um, Dad, won't it be. like. crowded?

dad: well, a little bit, I guess...

BIGGEST UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY.

 peoplepeoplepeople!!!! PEOPLE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!

oh, and if you think we even SAW the riders, you're wrong. oh so wrong. our butts WERE on national TV for a couple seconds too. joy.
y'all. watch the tour de France from HOME. here it's boring.

dude a: ooooh this is EXCITING!!! they'll be riding by any minute!
dude b: I know! maybe i run along side and have a conversation with an English-speaking rider!
dude a: maybe I'll get an autograph!
dude b: maybe-

*FWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH* *fwosh* *fwoshwfwoh* *fwooosh*
dude a:k, well that was them.
*silence*
dude b: well, that was boring.
dude a : yeah, who'se up for crossiant?

see my point? the rest of France we saw was GORGEOUS PEACEFUL and not really log worthy.

FLIGHT TO ENGLAND.

got this awesome pic from leaning into steph's crotch for the window view. but i like it.

london!!!!! this is where the REAL fun is, y'all. fried twinkies, fish n' chips, fog, rain, my dad and a phone booth,

London is really cool! and dirty!
-stayed in Best Western. watched Soylent Green *creepy*
peoplepeople...POOR CHOPPED PEOPLE!!!
what's even scarier, is I was drinking the hotel room coffee while watching it, and the brand name of the coffee was "Silent Green Mountain Coffee"
soylent green. silent green. soylent green. OMG

OMG IM SORRY COUSIN BILLY JOE, I WOULDN'T OF DRANK YOU IF I KNEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *SOBS*

*whoo* creepy.

ELLA'S DINING ADVICE FOR THE TRAVELING TRAVELER

1. trust yourself. follow your instincts. believe that if it sounds digusting, it'll taste digusting.
2. as entertaining as inquiring why fish and chips comes with french fries may be, Americans are already thought to be stupid
3. never drink "Silent Green Mountain Coffee" EVER.

I like England! we saw the hospital where me and Anna were born, lots of coffee shops (no silent green) lots of rain...

Globe Theater!
Eye of London!
Big Ben!

FLIGHT TO IRELAND

Dublin! it's so cute! little pretty buildings roses, more rain, sheep. yeah. lots of sheep.

August 2- fun picnic after seeing an Awesome castle on a nice green field. ah. the blue sky. the chedder goldfish crackers...the passing herd of sheep. ok, the CRAPPING passing herd of sheep (like 20 feet from us.) oh? what the- ok, WHY is this one random sheep stopping right in front of me? ok, it's...um...drooling...on my flip-flop...

Stephanie: Ella, there is TOTALLY some desire going on there.
Ella: ew.
Anna: ha ha!
sheep: baa. *stares at inappropriate places* baa *slowly walks left*
Ella: YAYY!!!!!! it's leaving!!
sheep: *turns left again*
Ella: oh-kay...
sheep: *walks slowly in a complete, 20ft. circle around picnic area*
Ella: this sheep is so retarded.
sheep: baa *eats grass*
Ella: ok, this sheep has gotta go.
Ella, Anna and Stephanie: *stand* *scream and wave arms, do chicken dance and act like idiots*
Sheep: *walks away, running into a tree in the process*
some random tourists coming out of the castle: *stare at girls*
Girls: umm....
some guy: *takes picture of Ella, Anna and Stephanie looking like idiots*


man, that sheep was STOOPID. Anna's idea, we named it "the Professor" to acknowledge his advnces in the areas of physical science
copyright: Ella 2005 ... is this work of art not BEAUTIFUL!?!?!??!?!?!?!

well, 2 days later we left Ireland, after a pretty visit to the Irish white sand beaches.

Steph's parents were very thankful for taking her to Europe, even though they missed her birthday. they thanked almost to he point of obnoxiousness. now they're inviting me and Anna to go to Greece with them next year.

*sigh* jet lag. can I NOT think about traveling for a while?

hey! this is my last day of internet for about 3 weeks *twitch* so i spent it finding AWESOME COLOR BARS WEEE!!! this post is just to say, I tried to get the linking-back-to-maker work, i think (and hope) worked, but please don't sue me if your bar's link doesn't work, I'M TRYING PEOPLE!

*tee hee*

woah!
zebra stripe madness!
IT WORKED!!! I MADE THE BACKGROUNDS WORK!!!!!!!!
*yay*
I'm leaving it here for you all to enjoy and (as of Friday) leaving to so my civic duty as a counselor for little Pennslyvania children. dancer children. in pink leotards. no electronics. service hours galore (yeah. i really need that) but I CAN DO IT! i did it last year, and I can do it again! *mwahahahaha*

*phew* evil laughter is hard, my sympathies ferocious fiends.

FEROCIOUS FIENDS: finally someone who agrees.

i'll be home the fifteenth and hopefully won't be too tired for a MIDNIGHT PARTAY AT BARNES AND NOBLE!!!! yeah, c'mon librarians! get down with your Dewey Decimal selves! can i get a W000000t!

...

*rereads last paragraph* ok. that's just wrong.

...yeah.

i really think we are gonna at least show at midnight for our copies of Half Blood Prince (even if the librarians won't danceT_T) *yayayayayayayayayayayay* and hopefully i won't have a heart attack. for the next couple of those days i'll probably be in a Harry Potter comatose, so, as Anna has learned, it is in EVERYONE'S best interest to not start with me, because you will not win. then we'll pick up my cousin and go to EUROPE!! YAY EUROPE!! i'll keep a log, like last year (this'll be good) so stay tuned.

dude.
like it?
ok.
yeah.
OKAY.
I know it's like, WAY too professional bussiness-like-y, but till i get something more um. how do i say this? BETTER up it'll have to do.
hm. whatever.
SO, people, how's your summer goin? well I'M going...

" to [hicksville] pennsylvania and work at a 1 week dance camp with trixie and meg because we are all so weird and it's fun. we sorta co-teach these little overly-ambitious 7 year old girls who tell us what their costumes will be when they're famous dancers. down the amount of sequins per square inch. if they know what sqaure inches are. "

QUOTE: myself, April 9.

...



YES...


IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!! IT IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!

*tee hee*

yeah. so. im alive *mwa* i'm back!

...with reviews! me and anna and gigi and lizzie (lissa) just came back from star wars!!!!

STAR WARS: ESPIDODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH

*dramatic music*

the journey began...(star wars: a new hope)







the journey continued...(star wars: the empire strikes back and return of the jedi)






the journey-goers took a fifteen year coffee break...








the journey goers spent the last of their money on genetically enhanced coffee and restarted the journey to make more money...






THE JOURNEY IS OVER!!!!!


YAY!


but, in all fairness, I believe they actually pulled it off well.

GOOD PARTS:
-Anakin Skywalker *tee hee hot*
-Ewan McGregor (weirdest name on earth but fabulous accent!)
-R2D2 and C3PO(yay! Star Wars: episode: infinity: revenge of the dude in the stuffy 3PO costume)
-action scenes and visual graphics (pushes nerd-wear (glasses) up nose and continues taking notes on uses of computer genetated images)

Bad Parts:
-dialogue (missed bad action pun)

chancellor homie: kill [count cuku-dooku]
sexiikin: I shouldn't.... he's unarmed.

after he takes his lightsaber away AND chops his arms off! ha ha ha ha.....ha. ok. sorry.

-acting (goes along with nasty dialogue)
-depressingness (ok, so we all KNEW this was the sad one, but i mean...*tear* poor anikin and his hair getting combusted off! and those younglings....poor younglings.
- General Grevious. ( on movies.com, "captain bad guy" lol i know!! worst bad dude EVER

me thinks i should watch episode 4: a new hope. oh, so NOW the title makes sense. i thought it was called "a new hope" to make up for all the craptastic movies in the 70's.

writer's block is an evil disease. it's when you're writing is like. blocked.

you can't write in complete sentences, have lots of typos, and space out fragments with 2 enter's.

writer's block for me, is when i can't stay on topic.

here are some thoughts that i randomly shall spit out

FLYING TURTLE RACES
MAYONAISSE SCULTPURES
SPATULAS
THE INVENTION OF THE SWIMMING GOLF CART
PARTIALLY DIGESTED MEOW MIX SAMPLES

note: putting idiots on hold is a very. very. bad idea.

typical face-palm inducing discussion:

idiot a: hey, dude let's walk across the Pacific Ocean!
idiot b: dude, you can walk on water?
idiot a: ...no
idiot b: oh
idiot a: then how can we?
idiot b: I know! let's super glue mulch bags to our feet! THEN we won't float!
idiot a and b: AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
idiot a: dude, gimme a mulch bag.
idiot b: dude, get your own mulch bag
idiot b: you're not giving it me. give it to me faster.
idiot a: stupid mulch, coming in bags! I SAID get your OWN MULCH BAG
idiot b: fine.
idiots a and b: *walk in water with mulch bags super glued*

10 MINUTES LATER

GLUBGLUP DROWN CLOOPGLOOP

thank you for tolerating that.

YES! It's almost MAY!!!
I love May. Do you love May? I love May.

well, there's only one month you turn 16, so. yay for may.
for a solid 2.7 minutes on the 26th I can have the privilage if saying to me sister "i'm sixteen and you're not! i'm sixteen and you're not! i'm sixteen and you're not!"

just kidding.

but May always is the month when STUFF HAPPENS.

because everyone gets too lazy in june, and no one likes to think that far ahead in April.

lots of stuff. losts of people wanting money for stuff.

ok! now give me and "S"! give me and "T"! give me and "U"! give me and "P"! give me and "H"!

what's it spell? STUPH!!!!

on my May agenda I only have (ONLY *eyeroll*) the farewell class of 2005 play, Singin' in the Rain, in which I am eternally grateful to my little 4 foot tall drama teacher, like Edna, only blonde and Russian. She was moved will my audition back in November and gave me the part of Lina Lamont. S-Q-U-E-E!!!! I am much looking forward to this, but since I cant record it or even put the pamplet up here (too much info) just wish me luck! oh no! wishing luck is bad luck!!! *falls over, breaks leg* alas, no comment. also, I have the stage dance thingie coming up *grumblegrumble*

sorry it's short, but the call of May comes with that amount of homework, fnarr.
