Guidos

Jersey Shore is the weirdest show ever. And Guidos and Guidettes are CRAZY!

Oh my Allah!

Last night my parents were talking about how the only thing i'd get for my birthday would probably be my passport and gas money. I didn't even want anything big, a lovely hug would be nice.
So, stupid me, i decided to joke around
 My mom was saying how since they got me the car, they were going to go easy on buying stuff for me for the next 1000 years. So moi, being the bright intelligent person I am, told her this:
"Oh it's okay, i'm going to be a Jehovah's Witness so you guys won't even have to worry." I was joking, totally joking, I was laughing as I said this and everything. My mother whirled around and gave me the worst look ever given to a daughter in the history of looks. It was SO BAD! So then I had to quickly yell Just Kidding! Kidding! before she brought me to our pastor for an exorcism.
Oy!
So now i've been scared stiff of even talking to her about how i'm done being a Christian and want to convert to Islam. I'm fairly sure if I did, she would kick me out. I love my mother so much and I have a lot of trust in her and she in me but we never talk about faith. I think she knows I'm moving away from her faith and trying to find mine and she does not like it one bit.
I spoke with my Dad about it and he said she was always stubborn about doing things her way (it's true) we switched Churches probably 10-12 times when I was growing up because she didn't like this sermon, or this idea.

So yeah. I want to accept Islam sooooooo badly but I can't. I can't go against my mother. I know that if I told her this, it would probably break her heart so I'm going to wait until I leave for college and a year and a half and hopefully Allah will be as patient with me as he has been so far.
Also, I have no one to teach me about Islam because the local Mosque is like Members Only because there was a LOT of unneccesary outpouring of anger after 9/11. So it's tricky.

Please, pray for me. It's so hard feeling this rift growing between my mother and me because of where I'm going. I don't want to lose her but I don't want to lose my place with Allah.

Sorry for this downer post but it's been on my mind for weeks.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!
I'm so glad this year is over. It wasn't horrible but it hasn't been all that terrific for me either. I hope that everyone's coming 365 days are much better than the last round :)
And I know 2010 will be a great year because January 1st starts the 6 month countdown until I go to Spain!!!!!
I have been waiting for two years and I am finally going. Oi! Oi! Oi!!!!!! Lalalalala!!!!!

I've even made a little map that's the background of my computer...just incase I forget where i'm going.

I'm so ready! The summer can't come fast enough!!!

Anybody else have any New Year excitement coming up??

Chirstmas, backwards jackets, ham and everything between.

Hellooooo!

I'm back!

Aahh where to begin? The past week or so has been really good. I've had loads of fun with friends and family :)
The day before Christmas I went to my friends house and her little sister made me a Christmas Calendar but she spelled Christmas like Chirstmas and had Christmas day on the 30th of December which isn't excactly right. But it was nice anyways and it's hanging up on our fridgerator at the moment. She's a cutie.
Christmas day I had to wait for my older brother and sister to arrive at our house until I could open present with my family. They got stuck in traffic and didn't even get to our house until 3 which was rather stressful for everyone but most me and my little brother Daniel. They are always late, it's a trial :)

Then we went to my stepdad's grandmother's home but had to leave half an hour later to go to my dad's home. My dad's family is crazy. I love them to death but they're all nuts! What's really creepy is that they facebook stalk me and my friend and buy us stuff according to what we talk about. For example, my friend and I do craft days when we have nothing to do, so they bought us a whole ton of glitter and just weird crafty...things.

Crazy aunts and uncles.

Then that evening we went to my other grandmother's house which was nice. It's a quiet family compared to my dad's so it was a nice end to the evening.

But that is not the best part....

I GOT A CAR!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

LALALALALALALALALAL!!!!
I love my parents. I really do.
I've been having to share the car with my mom so I have to pick her up all the time but now I have my own beautiful car (named Inigo) to drive around in!!!!!

Inigo!!!!!!!

You have to say it in a Spanish accent. Then it sounds best.

So Yes. My holidays were excellent and I am quite content. Hanukkah was really good as well, not as exciting as getting a car, but nice. I ate sooooooooooo much, probably gained 339393 pounds :)

I hope everyone else's week and holidays went well!

It's going to be a good new year!

L'Chaim! Happy Hanukkah

I won't be on probably until next week my lovely 3 followers :)
Hanukkah has started and my family and I will be muy busy but I hope to be back next week sometime to rega(i)le you all with my stories of familia and other fun things.

3 followers!!!!!

Ooooh I have another follower!!!!! Thank you soooooo much!!!!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

I'm sorry I have been gone for so long Ladies! I haven't been feeling well and school has been getting hectic. I'm really ready for the Holiday break. (16 school days left!!!)

On the brightside only 23 days until Christmas, and 10 days until Hanukkah! Annnnd my birthday is in January! I love the winter months except for the fact that it's almost -30 (fahrenheit) degrees during the winter. It's rather unpleasant. Anyways...
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it) I did. I had to go to 3 parties and one fiesta. My parents are divorced so I get to eat my little heart out. I think i've already said that I have family in Spain. During Thanksgiving, we all celebrate together via Skype and webcam :) My cousins raise their own turkey during the year and then kill it (sadly) and eat it on the 25th. On top of that, the family that lives here make a music video of all of us singing Feliz Navidad and we send it to them for Christmas. It's really fun but it's always reallllllllly embarrasing to watch. It's not rehearsed at all and it's just bad.

Travel Channel is awesome.

That's why I love it. I wish I could be Anthony Bourdain, he is probably the most amazing person on television to this day. I am learning about India via Travel Channel annnnnnnndddd I would like to go....right now.
It looks so beautiful and I love colors that I always see when we see pictures and watch movies from India. I'm also in the mood for a good Bollywood flick. I wish I could get the Indian channel!That would be AWESOME!!!!!!
I mean, I love the Spanish channel, Univision and Telemundo are wonderful and I love telemundos (but I hate American soaps) but I feel like an Indian soap opera would be THE best thing on tv of all time! Also I wish we played Cricket rather than Football (American) not Futbol (soccer). I freaking hate football, seriously. It's really vulgar and it's a cheap sport. I prefer Soccer (futbol) because it instills national pride and EVERYBODY but us watched it. I have family and friends in Spain and when they come and visit they make sure it isn't when there will be a major futbol match because they don't want to be the only ones to miss it. Last year, my friend Adrian was visiting and he made me watch the World Cup or something like that at 3 in the morning then we spent the rest of the night talking to our other friends in Spain about it. It was nice to feel like you're a part of something that the WHOLE COUNTRY is a part of. With Football, you have 20+ teams that you can choose from and if you're not completely loyal to one team, you run the risk of getting shanked by Packer fanatics in a dark alley way when you're wearing the new Favre Viking jersey.
Oh well....

On a wonderfull bright note...
I HAVE A FOLLOWERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Odna, I bless you and your family and your camels and cats and grandchildren and great grandchildren, and your car, and the trees around your house and the toothbrush you use and EVERYTHING! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy now that somebody actually want to reads this, I feel very loved. Thank you very very much.
