Joyous Christmas Greetings!

Eloise!!! How is your Christmas going?? Mine's going pretty good. :) I have to say, I actually had more fun giving gifts than getting them this year... Weird, right? And I'm snacking on so many Christmas goodies, it's pretty crazy.
What did you get? I got some pretty cool stuff.

1. Angry Birds pajama pants that are SO FUZZY!!
2. Lots and lots and lots of my favorite chocolate: Lindt Truffles. I've probably consumed about 800 calories worth. Yeah. We're going to have to go running when you come to visit...
3. Jewelry <3
4. A. POOL. TABLE. AS IN BILLIARDS. AND IT DOES FOOSBALL TOO. SUPPOSEDLY. I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET SINCE I'M IN YAKIMA AND IT'S AT HOME BUT AHHHHHHHH! I'm so jazzed!
5. An electric toothbrush. Like, the kind they use at the dentist's. ... Yeah. I blame Coltrane.

And other stuff! Can't wait to see you!

Bones and Foam and Netflix

WOAHHH. I haven't posted anything on this blog in agggeeesss.... Oops.
I'm watching Bones on Netflix right now. The foaming bones one. It's crazzzy man. CRAZZZYYYY. And OH MY GOD, the lap dance part is hilarious!!! In fact, I'm kind of distracted so Imma go now. I'll try to write you some more blog letters later!! Byyyeeee.

Sum of my past week...

• I got my "A Christmas Carol" T-shirt! But I don't think I'm allowed to cut it up! :(
• I've gotten closer to some of the drama groupies! So that's cooool.
• My director told me I am "a delight to watch on stage" and told me I HAD to take his Actor's Workshop class next year!!
• I only just started watching the new season of Chuck... and it's AWESOME.
• I kind of almost accidentally killed my new friend Ian....... twice. But then he made me try this coffee that tasted like melted rubber mixed with liquefied cardboard sooo I think we're even.
• I made another mix tape!! It's about history. :)

What did you do this week?

RIP (temporarily) Bonnie & Clyde :'(

My dearest Eloise,
I forgive you!!!!!!!!! In fact, it is I who must apologize for the terrible and heart-wrenching story of Bonnie and Clyde!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I completely forgot to send you some new twisty backs and BEHOLDDDDD their tragic demise!! May they rest in peace (I originally wrote "rest in peaches" on accident.... I'm rather hungry.) until the glorious silver needle of righteousness restores the balance of your ears and OF THE UNIVERSE! I would recommend the song "If I Die Young", to cope with the grief of it all... I'm pretty sure The Band Perry wrote it with Bonnie and Clyde in mind.
That also reminds me of an AWESOME JOKE that you made in your letter. YES I LOVE THAT SONG!!! Don't fret, it is not lost on me. :)
Now, I'm not sure if you gave me enough clues to really determine your big news... Number one was a little vague.... But... If I HAD to guess.... I'd say you're... going to eat Thai food in four weeks while watching 500 Days of Summer? Hmmm... Okay, okay, my second guess would be that YOU'RE GOING TO THAILAND FOR FOUR WEEKS THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I'M SO JEALOUS!!!!!!!! Teach a Thai child how to say "Wunce upon a time, mah son, I hadz a bucket" for me, won't you??? :D
And I will not forget to send you the mustache mix tape!!!!!!!! I will make one right away!!! Also, you should really get that throat checked out. It sounds serious...
Now, I too must depart to do my long put off homework... I do hope you write another post again, my friend, for you are absolutely wrong! That letter was fantastic!!

Missing you,
Tina

P.S. There is no need to apologize for your capital letters! I too adore them. Why else would God have put them on this Earth, if they were not meant to be heartily exploited?

P.P.S. Do remind me to tell you about Patrick! I'm actually in need of some girl advice/interpretation on that one.... ;)

A little laughter via my dear Miss Mixie

Hi Eloise! You still aren't posting on your blog.... I get it... You're busy... No time for Tina... Oh well. In case you are still checking mine, I want to share something from my dear friend Miss Mixie. This made me laugh SO HARD and I think you will like it! :)

:D

Oh, Eloise, where have you gone?

Title says it all... Why no responses on your blog, dear Eloise? I miss our chitter chatter! Post something for me! Amuse me, won't you? My life is very icky and stressful lately... A word from you would be helpful. :) Blog me! -Tina

In which I accidently freak out about stuff

Hi Eloise! My goodness, we've neglected our blogs lately... Well here's what's going on with me:

I GOT INTO THE PLAY!! I'm just part of the crowd and I don't have any lines but still. I got in!! Anyways, the play is going pretty good! Are you ready for this? I've actually made friends... I know, it's amazing considering all my social retardation. Mind you, I'm not all chummy with everybody, and I haven't really made friends with the drama groupies but it's a start. It's actually pretty exciting! Anywayssss.

You have to come dowwwnnnnn! Or I neeeed to come upppp! Miss you much, I do. Yeah that's right. Yoda style.

Hmm what else?? Mmm.. all my tests have gone good so far! That's sort of boring but I guess it is important to do well in school, right? Psshhh right. Haha I actually have 101.2 % in Economics. I think my worst classes are Chemistry and French. I'm pretty sure I have Bs in both of them (definitely in French) and I have now realized I need to get straight As for the rest of high school if I want to get into a good college. I really need to make up for not being well rounded. I mean, lots of people get excellent grades, play a bazillion sports, are in a bunch of clubs and do a ton of community service. How am I going to compete with that if I don't even have a 4.0 GPA?? It's pathetic! I mean, a lot of people have weighted classes so they sometimes have even higher GPAs like 4.1!! WHAT IF I HAVE TO GO TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE?? gahhhh. If you can't tell, I'm sort of freaking out.

On a happier note I have a really cool photography project that I get to work on this weekend. I just finishcd my last one and it came out pretty cool so I might actually post it here or something. Hopefully my teacher likes it... And my 365 project is still on!! (As you can tell on facebook.) Thank you for all you supercalifragilistic comments!! I want to do something really special for the end. I sort of wanna celebrate, you know? Let me know if you have any ideas on how I should go about doing this!

Okay, I have to go study for math now so byeeee!!

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

Wellllll, the cast list will be posted on Sunday. I know I didn't get a big part, which is totally okay, but I really hope I got a small one instead of nothing! Suddenly I find myself wishing away the weekend so I can find out faster... I just hate suspense...

Hey, can you go to figment and check out my latest poem thing? It's slightly insane... I was feeling a little crazy and that's what came out. I really want an opinion on it though, and who better to review it than you?

Okay, it's actually pretty late and I need to sleep so byee!!! Send me feedback!!

<3 Tina

PS OH don't let me forget to give you details on my audition cause it was HILARIOUS!

AHH IM SO SCARED!!

Eloise!! I'm auditioning for "A Christmas Carol" at school!! I just found out the auditions are tomorrow and I'm finally going to go for it! I'm so nervous though... I get so freaked when I have to perform in front of people who I know are judging and evaluating me.... I wish I had you're courage! Do you think I could borrow it for tomorrow? EEeeee!!!! I really, really hope I get a part. It doesn't matter what part, I just want SOMETHING. What if I don't get anything though?? I'll feel so crushed... I don't know. I just need to make myself do it, you know?

It's just... I get so shaky and freaked out and my voice is all funny because I have a cold... Okay, now I think I'm just trying to talk myself out of it. I've got to stop thinking! Or maybe study for my chemistry test tomorrow... Yeah, that sounds like a better idea. Bye!! Wish me luck!

Dear Miss Eloise,

I miss you soooo much! How are you? What's going on? How's school? And most importantly, do you like your new name?

We talked about this when you came to visit and I thought I'd finally get it started! I'm just gonna go ahead and sign you up by email so you can get updates from the blog I made specially for you! I'll try to keep you entertained with as much mindless garbage as I can churn out, but school has been keeping me pretty busy so I might not always post regularly. Tell me as soon as you make your blog or sign me up via email!

Right now I'm watching Gilmore Girls and Paris is freaking out about something Rory did. I'm thinking she would've been much more chill if she had had a couple blogs to unwind with. I think you'll like blogging. OH MY GOD, Lorelai is wearing the greatest shirt ever and I wannnnttt it. GIMME GIMME GIMME. Anywayss... ahh I wish you were here so we could go t shirt shopping! I realized after our shop fest that I desperately need new t shirts and I didn't get any with you! :'(

We should consult our calendars later and see if there are any three day weekends that we can get together on! So yeahhh. Just wanted to get this started. Bye!! And don't forget to VAMOS A LA PLAYA!!
