Hi Everyone,
I have humungous news. It so big, it's the size of an elephant...or bigger. I wrote a book a couple months ago due to multiple multiple school frustrations. Then I had some people read it and my goodness people actually enjoyed it-I was shocked with a capital S. And now...I've decided to publish it. It will be finished with all the grammatical editing on Tuesday-I'm so excited! In any case, I found a company named Authorhouse who is willing to publish it for me. I know-self publishing yuck! But the book has already been rejected by fourteen agents and publishers-however I never give up and they all said the writing and storyline were great but due to the economy they can't take any more clients. Now I did quite a bit of research and found out Mark Twain and Virginia Woolf started the self-publishing route and even John Grisham sold books out of his car so I'm trying to be optimistic, trying being the operative word.
So Juicebox is very very excited about it because he is one of the characters. It's called "Into the Lens." It's basically about two girls who discover a camera in their room that transports them to another world where animals can have wonderful conversations with them. Of course there's more to it than that. You'll have to read it to find out!
Well Juicebox has been telling all his friends about it and they would like to have a little party for me but as you all know his friends are party animals-literally. Well I should go now-off to do more assignments! Talk to you all later.

Happy Fall!
Hi Everyone,
Autumn is in full swing if you can believe it...well I can't mainly because it still feels like summer here in Santa Barbara. I'm not a summer bumpkin (is that a word..it sounds like something my Grandma would say) so I stay inside as much as possible. I actually don't think there is much of a temperature difference here...there is a rainy season but it only lasts for two weeks-it's very odd. Wow I should get the award for randomest thought of the day.
Well I saw "Paranormal Activity" last night-the movie not an actual ghost. For those of you who don't know it's about this couple who movies into a new house in San Diego when things go bump in the night. The entity (it's supposedly a demon) only comes out at night so it's supposed to be a movie where you can't fall asleep because you think you'll be attacked or something. It actually ended up being incredibly incredibly funny (if you've seen the movie you'd agree it deserves two incrediblies). It might be because it was filmed with a family camcorder so it looked like one of those cheesy family movies. Or it could be because the dialogue and acting were so cliche. It had all the elements of a classic horror movie but it just missed the mark...by a yard. I'm not quite sure if I enjoyed the ending because it was really the only scary part...although I've talked with other people (not strangers but friends) and they think the ending is incredibly dumb. So anyway I'm not quite sure why this movie has been called the scariest movie of all time-maybe people were on acid when they saw it (then it would be freaky).
Actually Juicebox refused to go because he can't stand scary movies. He played a prank on me yesterday and I'm a little mad at him. I accidentally left my computer on last night and he went online. He went on this website that imports Peach Iced Tea from Indonesia. He ordered 200 containers! He said it's going to be a surprise for Eduardo because his birthday is coming up in December. We are supposed to make invitations today and where does it say it's being held-my apartment. Now Juicebox is quite the popular Koala-he's planning on inviting 100 marsupials. There is no way all 400 could fit in my apartment but Juicebox sealed the envelopes and said he'd make it work (he even did a Tim Gunn impersonation). So I was in the middle today for shooting my architectural assignment (I had to shoot an interior room so it would look pretty ) and who knocked on my door but a black Koala (he's not African American, he just is actually black). He had a boom box with him which he put right in my living room. Then he went on the table and began dancing. I looked at Juicebox who was on the floor laughing. Apparently the invitations were not for guests but for surprise Go-Go Dancer auditions. Clearly I can't have a dancing koala in my picture (my teacher's more of a Grizzly Bear man) so I have an agreement with Juicebox that the auditions can take place after five. And that's an incredbly long story on how I was punk'd by Juicebox.
