There is a fine line between maturity and immaturity, that is different in different situations and doesn't always involve age. There is the literal sense of being mature - which is older and more life experience/growing and the literal sense of immature - still having growing up to do. In most people no matter what their age be, still have "immature" qualities but nothing that would make you say that person is immature.
I think you find maturity and immaturity in the cases of Drama. Almost everyone hates drama, but usually has some sort of drama in their lives. I personally try to avoid drama... doesn't mean I don't have drama or people trying to cause drama. I think when drama begins, you have to know your opponent, know your principles and know when to either stick up for yourself or when to just ignore it.
The internet is like the fuel to the fire of immaturity and drama. I love Facebook and I love status updates, i love telling people how I feel,what I'm doing, etc. Even if no one really cares. I also for the most part like to keep it real; you just have to know when it's time to speak and when it's time to keep your mouth shut. Ah... keeping your mouth shut, something to be honest; i'm not so good at. I like the truth and I like people to know the truth; but I don't ever want to seriously offend anyone...a balancing act really. And yes, sometimes I just wabt to be the bitch and tell it like it completely is; sometimes I do want to call people out, but THAT would be immature. when it comes to the internet you need to know these things, cause this is how drama begins. However, it's not always the speaker who instigates the drama but the reader who may start the drama.
Example:
If the speaker states a fact w/o calling out/mocking any form of rudeness towards a person/place or thing. -Mature, not instigating
If Reader decides to get offended and call out speaker therefore starting a problem - immature,instigator
If speaker personally calls out,mocks and belittles a person -immature,instigator.
The point is either side can be immature, it just depends on who causes the drama. I have seen this happen more then once and it is a shameful thing. Doing so , on the internet usually gives less credit to maturity on either side, but does not change the fact that the instigator is almost always the immature one.Mainly, when making drama out of nothing. I could go into more depth, but shall refrain for it is time to say good-bye and enjoy my fiance's visit.

Stalker or Just Great Detective Skills.
I have this skill, where when bored.. I am really good at finding out things about every body's lives. It isn't even a necessary need to know; I, for the most part don't even care. I just do it. I just wind up finding stuff out about people through Facebook,google,twitter,myspace,blogger, etc. Some people say this is stalker status, I on the other hand think I just have really good detective skills. I believe it's not a stalker like habit because I have no malignant intentions with the information I learn.
There are times when I do want to learn things about people though and then this skill becomes an AMAZING habit to have, still creepy but useful. Again, not really something I care about just want to know. I think every women has at least ONCE in there life googled there Exes new girlfriend. It's not that you are jealous and want him back. It's you want to know that she is horrible and not as cool as you are. Really, it is. You don't want your ex back, but you want him to want you back. HA. Usually this search and stalk ends up blowing up in your face, cause usually the girl is generally like-able and maybe under different circumstances you could be friends. Fail. Now, this can backfire on you if you ARE a person who still has feelings for your Ex. In that case, I advise you do not do this. Do not google,stalk your exes girlfriend, it will end up hurting you more then you are already hurting. Move on.
I also, have an obsession with finding out other peoples drama. I find this to be the best type of drama to be involved it though, because at the end of the day. It doesn't personally affect you. My fiance will deny it, but even he will sometimes to do it. Someone will say " So and so cheated on so and so" and then the other will reply " I know, what a loser how could so-so, do that to so-so, they seemed so nice" and then we discuss and analyze there life. Pathetic, maybe. Entertaining, most definitely.

Keep Denying
I have always been opinionated, but as far as politics go, I share fairly moderate views for a Republican. In politics I believe both sides have there problems but as of lately I will more willingly side with the Right then the left.
For those who know me they would know that I am not a big fan of Obama. Never have been and honestly, never will be.
My problem doesn't just lie with Obama, it lies with the fact that people voted for Obama. That people believe in Obama and think he is so amazing, despite all the FACTS against him.
FACTS! Not just heresy, not just the conservative talk show host and FOX news "bias" media. FACTS! My problem is when people start denying facts. When people start making excuses for the facts. Instead of owning up to it. It's like a mother protecting her child who just murdered another human being "he didn't really mean to do it, he's a nice boy really." Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit!! The liberals say "Obama he's not a socialist, he's not a Muslim extremist, he's not an elitist" but everything he has done,his WHOLE life says differently. He's even admitted to these things in his own books. Yet, somehow self-admission isn't good enough.
Keep Denying that Obama isn't a socialist when he himself was a member of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA); Keep Denying he isn't a communist when the Communist Party of the United States of America as well as DSA endorsed his Campaign.
Even the company he keeps is all wrong, yet the liberals claim "Guilt by Association" I'm sorry, but being friends with people like William Ayers,Marilyn Katz,Bernadine Dohrn,Saul Alinsky,Rev. Jeremiah Wright and so many others.
William Ayers: you may have heard of him, in the 60's he was wanted as a domestic terrorist for bombings. Obama claims to not have known about this and to not have known William Ayers all that well. Yet, William hosted an event his home launching Obama's run for state senate.
Marilyn Katz: Who is a radical leftist, who participated in a guerrilla tactics force. Caught by undercover cops, instructing other members how to use weapons and guerrilla nails. She went on the be Obama's campaign organizer.
Bernadine Dohrn:Ayers wife is someone who has been on the FBI's 10 most wanted listed and who said at a radical democratic society gathering "Dig it! Manson Killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they shoved a fork into a victim's stomach"
Saul Alinsky: who is also a leftist radical. Wrote the book Rules for Radicals, was an attorney for ACORN. A man who has openly claimed to be a Marxist (as well as Ayers) and someone who Obama has openly said is his mentor.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright: He is the Reverend at the Trinity Unity Church in Chicago (TUCC.org). A church Obama had been attending with his wife and family for many years. The Reverend even was chosen to marry Barrack and Michelle. However, he too is a radical, but he is also a black supremacist. He talks about h=the superiority of the black man, constantly. If black was changed to white, the world would go crazy in a frenzy about the unjust. He has constantly given sermons about how America deserved AIDS and 9/11 how it was the white Christians faults that led to this. Obama claims to have not known this side of Wright. Yet, how can you know this person for 20 years, attend his services and listen to those hateful sermons and say you have never seen that side of a person. A man who also believes in Black Muslim and the power of Islam. How can you not know?
When he lived in Indonesia as a citizen (which by the way does not allow dual citizenship) with his Mom. Obama talked about how his mother was about of the communist party there and about how his mother constantly taught him to not be arrogant and stupid like those Americans. How?! are you not in SOME way affected by this?! I Just do not understand! I could give lists upon lists of socialist associations Obama has been apart of or had contact with.
How?! How do we keep denying. That he is not a socialist. Are we America that much in denial, to realize we have allowed a Marxist to rule our country or is that what you really want. Are you done with the American Dream? Are You done being the capitalist country that gave some many immigrants from socialist and communist countries hope?! If so, if you really aren't denying that he is in FACT a socialist, then fine. Leave AMERICA then America is the home of the free,home of the brave. The land of hopes, dreams and opportunity. If you don't like it then go to the socialist countries. Move there, and leave America how many of us still like it.

Where to Begin?
I've been lazy about updating this. = (
Where to begin? Where to Start?
Life as been going pretty well... March Came and went. Nothing TOO exciting. At the end of March, Brandon came to visit, but mostly he came down for a LAN in Moreno Valley. For those who don't know and LAN is a tournament for computer nerds (haha) Brandon plays Counterstrike Source and I guess, if amazing at it or something. So him and his buddies made a team called GX and competed. Thursday night I picked him up at the airport and basically we just fell asleep. Then Friday, we went horseback riding at Griffith Park Equestrian and well rode horses. That was a lot of fun and was interesting riding horses in LA, tunnels under freeways, bridges over man made rivers.. fun stuff. After we went to the Burbank Town Center and Then I cooked us some dinner = ) The next day his team met us at my apartment and before we left for Howies in Moreno Valley (for them to practice) we had lunch at Paty's, where we also had a Miley Cyrus/Liam Hemsworth Siting. After, we left for Howie's and got stuck in LA traffic, but not JUST ANY LA Traffic, LA traffic + 3 Car accidents. OK, this is boring. On the way to practice I got sick.... and felt bad cause on tourny day (sunday) I missed half of Brandon's games due to being sick. Eventually, i felt better and drove myself to Moreno Valley to "cheer" them on. His team ended up winning 1st place. After That, we drove back up to San Jose for my spring break; where we didn't really do much since all my friends already had spring break and Brandon had work. Easter was a nice day. Sat. we drove up to El Dorado to stay withh his Grandparents on his Mom's side then Easter morning; after Brandon and I found the baskets we made for each other we drove To Granite Bay Brunch with his mom's family at his Aunt and Uncle's Home. After That we drove to Elk Grove to his Grandma and Granpa Gregorio's to have dinner with that side of the family. Overall it was a great day. Now. I am back in LA and bored, but LOVING it.Just need to find a job and decide how my summer is going to be like.
Also, I have read 2 books. I'm not sure If I told you about Baby Proof my Emily Giffin, but overall I liked the book. Not as much, as I like her first to books, but it was witty and funny and in ways realistic. I also, like how she tied characters from his first 2 books into this one. After that I read "Chelsea,Chelsea, Bang, Bang" by Chelsea Handler and was as usual throughly amused by the book. It's a great read and will definitely make you die of laughter. Now I am reading Sean Hannity's new book "Conservative Victory" and although I am only 20 pages into. I am outraged; love the book, but am outraged by how our country elected Obama.Absolutely disgusted and outraged.
Now, it is time for bed.

Long Time....
I Don't Even Know, Why I'm Posting a Blog really... but, I guess.. it's because it has almost been a month since I posted. Although, I doubt... anyone was fretting that I haven't written a blog in a few weeks.. nor do I think anyone besides my mom actually read my Blogs. In case you didn't notice I tend to Have a need to Capitalize letters in words that do not NEED to be capitalized. I just do it, I don't know why.. it's more of a compulsion.
BLAH, So.. I have been pretty much sick on and off these past few weeks. Which is basically why, I have not written yet. So as far as school is concerned, it has been fine. As far as job searching has been.. EH! I guess my problem is because I don't want a typical job. I refuse to work at a restaurant again. I NEED experience, I need to be able to put something else on my resume, besides being a waitress. I need creditability. Minus, jobs in general being scarce; it is hard to find a job I want. Then, if I do find a job I want, that meets most of my requirements. Something gets in the way.. such a SCHOOL. Which is annoying, since I am going to school to get better jobs.. oh the Irony. .
On top, being sick has ruined my sleep schedule. So, now i'm tired all day and up all night!
I have read many books Since we have last chatted. I have read "My Sister's Keeper" and "Dear John". I loved loved loved loved loved "My Sister's Keeper" it was perfect and the ending was just unexpected. However, I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE the movie, to anyone who has seen the movie and thought they now have "read" the book, WRONG. The movie is absolutely NOTHING like the movie. Basically, the director,producer,screenwriter, whatever thought it would be nice to the have a famous bestselling book as the title of there movie take the basic concept of the movie and then change everything to what they wish the book had been. It was really horrible. I was disappointed in the actors as well. Alec Baldwin,Cameron Diaz, and Abigail Breslin, did an okay performance, definitely not up to their caliber of acting and then worse of all that they would even sign on to do this movie!
and for the acclaim that the movie Dear John has been getting (which I have not seen) I did not fall in love with the book, so maybe the movie will do something for me. Now I'm reading, "Baby Proof" by Emily Giffin and it took awhile for me to get into, but now I am really enjoying it. I like Emily Giffin's books and writing A LOT.
Mmh, Tired. Good Night.

WHAT A WEEK!
Last week I started school!
I fell in love with ALL my teachers, minus my Sociology teacher.. ugh that was painful. There is so much more to why I didn't like her... but the selling points on dropping her class were the highest grade you can get in her class is a C(Sidebar: WHY?! why would ANYONE stay in a class and risk their GPA to only get a C!) UNLESS, you are willing to do heinous amounts of extra credit to receive just a B! AGH!...THEN.. she announces she is a Marxist and Atheist! So, I dropped that class IMMEDIATELY .
Minus, this past week also being President's Week and having F.S.Su.M.T off it was also, Valentine's Day week. I was bummed that my fiance Brandon couldn't come down to visit, but extremely excited that my mom wanted to come visit. So I cleaned up my apartment on Friday and waited. Around 9pm Someone knocks on the door and I open it to a HUGE teddy bear,Heart Shaped Box of See's Candy, a gift bag and rose petals surrounding it! I orginally thought it was my mom, trying to make me feel better, but i looked to my right and standing there was Brandon! I was immediately thrilled! My mom and him had planned for him to surprise me all week!So Saturday we ate at Paty's for breakfast, then i drove him up to the Hollywood Sign, Which this week was changed into "Save The Peak" so that sucked that he couldn't see it! Then, we went to Pink's Hot Dogs and stood in that line forever and ate some YUMMY hot dogs and cheeseburgers. After that we walked around the Grove and then saw a movie at the Burbank Town Center. We watched Valentine's Day. Which was a decently good movie, made your laugh, made you cry...was perfect for what else? Valentine's Day. Then Sunday, THE ACTUAL Valentine's Day we woke up and went to Bob's Big Boy for breakfast,we sat there thinking about what we could do with out day but everything just didn't fit (mainly cause we were on a budget) We decided on Knott's Berry Farms which neither of us had been and they were having a couple special , so our ticket was fairly cheap! I really like it! Knotts is like a less cool version of Disneyland and a WAY better version of Great America. The rides there are REALLY REALLY good and Brandon and I enjoyed playing the carnival games. After we drove back home, dressed quickly and went to Mo's in Toluca Lake for Dinner, then came home and watched Sleeping Beauty. Monday, we just drove around, ran some errands and then he left = (.
In Other News, I finished "Something Blue" and I for sure enjoyed it. I really ended up liking the main character, which in the beginning I was determined not too! Now, I am beginning to read "Reservation Road" by John Burnham Schwartz. It was made into a movie last year, but I think people may have gotten confused, because it came out the same time as "Revolutionary Road" anyways I have yet to see the movie to the book, although I have heard good things about it. I am a true believer that the book is always better then the movie, but so far... I am not sure; maybe it just starts off slow. Well, I will be go now and run some errands = )

Rain, Rain Go Away
The other day I had such a good topic to type about.. yet I had such trouble logging into my Blogger account, which I usually do and then later I re-attempt to log in and everything works fine. Now, that I am logged in.. I will type what may end up being a severely long blog.
Last week (Thurs. to be exact) I flew back home to San Jose, yet it is funny how quickly I had made Burbank/Toluca Lake my home. I mean San Jose will always be home-home but everything had already felt foreign to me back home. It was nice to see everyone again, and obviously my Fiance Brandon >Paty's.
Wow, I already can't remember everything I wanted to share!
Well. lets see.. I finished reading The Lovely Bones.. which I found to be an amazing book and would recommend for ANYONE to read. It definitely captures a real life situation and makes you feel and understand what every single character is going through and it's believable. I like that it doesn't only touch on the after life but it also, shows you the killers past life and what happened to make him who he is. Personally, i did not care for the ending, yet.. the ending was realistic. Now, I have begun reading Something Blue by Emily Giffin which is the sequel to Something Borrowed. The first few chapters may be a little boring since it is basically re-capping what happened in the first book, it's still mildly interesting cause you see it through Darcy's point of view and her feelings. So far, it's cute and different...I will enjoy seeing where this leads.
Yesterday, I did my first solo LA freeway drive (at night!) to Lakewood/Long Beach to meet up with Natasha and watch her boyfriend play hockey. He plays for San Jose State and they were playing against CSULB. The game was definitely intense and Long Beach played dirty, but San Jose won the game 6-3 or something like that. Overall, it was nice to see Natasha and hang out. They have a game tonight in Anaheim against USC but depending on the weather, I may or may not go. At The moment it is a thunder and lighting storm. Which in general dampens my plans for today just in Toluca Lake. I mean the people down here are horrible at driving when it's sprinkling, let alone a thunder storm. I don't go out period, during rain around here.
Next Blog will be about Books to read if you're in the mood for Valentines day and other things.. I know I promised a Political Blog, but I'm never motivated to write one at the right moments.
Last week (Thurs. to be exact) I flew back home to San Jose, yet it is funny how quickly I had made Burbank/Toluca Lake my home. I mean San Jose will always be home-home but everything had already felt foreign to me back home. It was nice to see everyone again, and obviously my Fiance Brandon >Paty's.
Wow, I already can't remember everything I wanted to share!
Well. lets see.. I finished reading The Lovely Bones.. which I found to be an amazing book and would recommend for ANYONE to read. It definitely captures a real life situation and makes you feel and understand what every single character is going through and it's believable. I like that it doesn't only touch on the after life but it also, shows you the killers past life and what happened to make him who he is. Personally, i did not care for the ending, yet.. the ending was realistic. Now, I have begun reading Something Blue by Emily Giffin which is the sequel to Something Borrowed. The first few chapters may be a little boring since it is basically re-capping what happened in the first book, it's still mildly interesting cause you see it through Darcy's point of view and her feelings. So far, it's cute and different...I will enjoy seeing where this leads.
