I don't think I'll do a list of resolutions this year. I want 2006 to be exciting, so I don't want to make any concrete plans. I'll believe the best is yet to come. I'll try to get all of my dreams. I'll fight for everything I believe in. I'll keep the excitement. I'll become a better version of myself. And I hope you'll be there to see it.

Sorry if my latests posts have been way over shitty, but I'm completely uninspired, and lazy, and unexcited... I had expected to go out for drinks with some people from school this morning but nobody bothered to let me know where they'd be getting together, so I'm a little pissed off. It's not like I was moist with excitement about it, but at least it'd have been something different... I can't wait to go to my borntown, to do something. We still haven't decided what we're going to do on New Year's Eve, though. I'd like to go out, but it'd also be fine if we stayed at home watching movies like last year... The author of the skin I wanted to use hasn't e-mailed me back about the changes I wanted to make, so I'm not using that template. I haven't decided anything yet, so I beg you to be patient about it. As if you were thrilled about this lol... The other day I was on my bus coming back home and I saw a girl who was about 13 talking about Woody Allen [!!!] with her brother/boyfriend/whatever and she was like "you don't know him?! You *have* to see his movies!". It was oh so very surprising in a good way... That's all I had to tell. I'm such a boring person.

Let's make a new world now,

I've been feeling strangely tired lately, which is funny because all I've been doing is pretty much watching DVD's, and nothing else. What is even weirder is that I've been slepless for the last four or five nights. I don't know, there must winter or something. I went downtown yesterday and it was a terrible experience. It was fucking crowded. Madrid is always crowded, but around December/April/June it gets worse, really unbearable. So I decided that I'd do my Christmas shopping this Wednesday, because it's Truancy Day in my school. Don't ask me why, but it's like a tradition to skip classes the day before our holidays start. I never do that, but I'm so mad at my teachers that I'm going to support my [crazy] classmates this time.

I've already chosen my next template, but I had to contact its creator to ask her to make a little change on it and... God, has my brain stopped working or it's just that my life is being utterly boring these days?

So, um, bye.

Apart from my classes and watching fan-fucking-tastic movies, life's been really uneventful lately. But I'm in a kinda good mood because, despiting the little facts that my grades are going to be BEYOND awful and that I still miss my friends like the deserts miss the rain, there are a couple of things to be REALLY happy about right now:

1) The Golden Globes.

2) I can't really tell you about this.... Well, I can, but I don't want to. lol. Don't mean to be rude, but it's just that I don't want to make this look official. Not just yet. It's like 99.9% official, but still, I don't want to have high hopes about it. I'll tell you about it in about a month... It's *so* great. And just in case you were wondering -- no, I don't have a boyfriend, our beloved Bush Jr. hasn't been killed and Nicolas Cage hasn't retired from acting. That'd be great, too, but unfortunately any of those fabulous events won't take place anytime soon.

So, let's talk about the Globes.

I've always had the utmost respect for these awards because they're the only ones who've had the balls to award Madonna as an actress, and they've never been as politically-correct as the Oscars. This year they've come up with a fabulous list of nominees. Brokeback Mountain is the front-runner with nothing less than 7, count them, 7 nominations. I'm especially happy about Michelle Williams getting nominated. Do you want to know the reason why? She was Jen in Dawson's Creek. Need another one? She was in Dick, one of the funniest satires ever filmed. There are even more reasons to love her, but the list would be too long. Brokeback is also up for Best Original Song. I honestly think A Love That Will Never Grow Old is already a classic. Sadly, Jake got snubbed, which is especially disappointing considering he gave three award-worthy performances in three very awaited films. Rumor has it that his snub for Brokeback had to do with category confusion. The HFPA aka the Golden Globe voters considered him lead, so I guess he split votes with Heath. However, he's being promoted as Best Supporting Actor for the Oscars so his chances are not dead at all. For those who are not familiar -- Jake has almost as much screen time as Heath Ledger, but his character is not as developed as Heath's, so they're campaigning him as Supporting because they think he has a better chance in that category [and they're right]

Moreover -- Match Point got in for Best Picture [Drama], Best Director, Best Screenplay and... SCARLETT JOHANSSON! I told you she was AMAZING in this one. It's also the first time since 1987 [!!!!] that Woody Allen gets a GG nomination. Felicity Huffman has TWO nominations -- Best Actress [Drama] for Transamerica [even though it's a comedy...] and Best Actress in a TV-Series for Desperate Housewives. I'm *so* happy for her. She's an excellent actress and one of the nicest celebrities out there, so she deserves all the accolades she's getting. Walk The Line is up for 3 awards, including Best Actor and Actress in a Musical/Comedy for Joaquin Phoenix and Reese, of course. Alanis is nominated for Best Original Song for the marvelous Wunderkind, from The Chronicles of Narnia. Zach Braff for Best Actor in a TV Series. And last, but not least -- GWYNETH, oh, GWYNETH. People started getting skeptical about her chances like two months ago but she got nominated. Oh yeah, she's so back. And pregnant. God, I'm so excited for her. I won't comment any more of my favorites, but I'm also happy for: Maria Bello, Cillian Murphy, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matt Dillon, Good Night, And Good Luck, Rachel Weisz, Dolly Parton, Patricia Arquette, Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria, Patrick Dempsey and Matthew Fox. Wow, I love so many people. lol. Anyway, as you can see I'm REALLY excited about this award season! ^^

Hell, I got so unexpectedly developed. Thanks for reading this, just in case anyone's still reading. lol.

Still I love all of you,

Santi

In less than 24 hours I'll be walking around the streets of the city of Cartagena with my friends. I'm so happy I could wet my pants. I've had a rough term at school, and I really, really need a break. I'll be done with my exams by tomorrow. ^^ I shouldn't be that happy because my grades will be kind of shitty, but you know I'm not what you'd call a role model, so I'm just happy about the fact that holidays are right here, which means three weeks or so without seeing my god-awful teachers and doing nothing but watching tv and that kind of amusing stuff.

So things have been really quiet lately, as you should've guessed by now. I got an e-mail from Jordan. In case you're not familiar with his name -- he's a 25 year-old guy who lives in Houston, TX [yeah, I know]. We like each other. A lot. We've been flirting through e-mail and msn for over four [!] years. So he e-mailed me to tell me some great news: he's moving in with his boyfriend, Greg. That's so great... not!. Well, of course I'm glad for him, but I'm like so JEALOUS. A couple of years ago he got engaged to some Canadian guy but he [the Canadian guy] got all scared just one month before the wedding and left him, and I can't say I was sad about that... Ok, I'm such a bad person. But as I said above, I'm the last person you should take as a role model. ;)

I have to leave you. I have to pack my bags, something I bloody HATE, and figuring out what I'm going to wear tomorrow. I'll be back at home next Sunday. Can't promise anything, but I'll try to update at least once while I'm in Cartagena. In the mean time, just have fun and miss me. I'll miss you, that's for sure.

Love was surely made for fools like me,

Santi
