There’s more important things than making sure your shoes walk just right

I’m tired. I got home at around seven-thirty today and I felt so ready to drop but Angelica was going to be picked up at my place and I couldn’t very well fall asleep with her around. I hate doing projects. And it really irritates me when teachers for unimportant subjects, like my Speech teacher, gives us projects in which we’ll have to go out of our way to do it. Our group project for Speech is to interview a professional but I didn’t really mind doing this because we got to interview someone cool: Mia Fausto, the editor of Candy magazine. I don’t really read magazines like Candy and Seventeen anymore because the models make me feel like going anorexic or something. But Mia is a really nice, very easy-going, pleasant and talkative person and I could see that she is really dedicated to what she was doing. I have to admit that some of the articles in Candy are interesting to read. I mentioned to her about the model thing, that seeing them made me feel unpretty sometimes and if maybe they could put normal-looking people in at least one issue. She told me that she understands what I mean and they did that once, but got lots of negative feedback from girls who were like, “You should get prettier models!” or worse, “Why is she in Candy? I’m prettier than her!” Conceited bitches. Media is evil. But I guess we’re surrounded by too much normality that once in awhile we need to look at the face of a goddess.

They made me ask the questions because I could speak English fluently, they said, but later on they admitted that they couldn’t find the courage to speak up in the presence of a semi-celebrity. My groupmates and I were all starstruck when the interview was over. We didn’t really expect things to turn out so well. And I didn’t expect that I would actually enjoy interviewing her. Maybe I could consider writing for a magazine and interviewing celebrities as a sideline or something. Or maybe I could be the celebrity and be the interviewee instead, haha. Seriously…reading Pulp magazine re-inspired me to join/form a band in college. Problem is, my voice isn’t the screaming or grunge type but maybe I can be the bassist and the lyricist or something. I heard it’s real easy to learn bass guitar. And maybe my lyric-writing will improve.

I think I should discontinue my Spanish once I’m through with Level 2. I need my rest! If I could have the chance to sleep for an entire day I would gladly take it because that’s what I want to do right now. Not only that but I need to concentrate on my schoolwork..I don’t really have the time to memorize Spanish verbs on top of my Chem and Filipino and whatever it is I have to study for over the weekend.

I’m going to sleep now.
