| A little nostalgia...Thought I'd share this with everyone...even though Christmas just ended...oh well.
A letter to Santa, as written by me. At age 8. And a 1/2.
The envelope read:
To: Santa
From: Kara
Age: 8 1/2
Street: Jakie Ave.
Looks like 8 year old me had trouble spelling my street name at the time.
And now for the letter, unedited, for your reading pleasure:
Dear, Santa, I want these Things, I want my size Rapunzel Barbie Vanity, Barbie Phone answering machine, Barbie and Ginger, Barbie cruisin' cars, new born diaper babay, magic stroller baby, C.A. Roller gril, Babay buggy, scent salon, a dog from dogs and cats, home style kichen, Little mermaid tent, Litlle mermaid sleeping bag, gloworm, art studio, Ball Pit mountain, minnie tlaking doll, Play House, Barbie Sun Jammer, knee a elbow pads, Pink 'n Pretty Helmet, Barbie Bike, Pink ,n, Pretty in-line roller blades, Grow-to-Pro Glof set, brid brain, milk and cookies, Plant Hlloywood the game, color doddle, play doh one stop playshop, play doh vule pack, Mary kate and Ashleys enchanted cristmas, Rugrats the santa experience, Rugrats chanuka, Barbie magic hair styler cd rom, Talkgril, clueless hadsfree Phone.
To: Santa Cluse.
From: Kara Ontiveros.
Yes, the To/From part was written that big. And I bolded "milk and cookies" because I'm amused that I actually asked for that in a Christmas letter.
And no, I didn't get any of that for Christmas. Although, I did have the Barbie Magic Hair Styler game already (so I'm not sure why I was asking for it...). You should see Andrew's letter though...he asked for a mountain. A literal one.

| :DSo, I guess I should put in an entry just for the sake of putting one in, huh? I haven't written in a loooonnnngggg time! Maybe not that long, but I'm sure you understand.
Let's see...Halloween. It was pretty good. I was an 80's punk. Well, technically, I was Agnus Angst from "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe". I'm performing one of her monologues in my acting class. But 80's punk is much easier to explain. Went trick-or-treating. Started late though, so by the time we got out there, all the houses were shutting down. I got, like, maybe 5 pieces of candy, total. So disappointing...
Working on costumes for Romeo and Juliet. Pretty frickin' excited!!! And I think everyone, no matter where you are, should come see it. November 20-22. That's what I have to say about that.
And guess what else I'm super-excited for??? The So You Think You Can Dance tour!!! Yup, yup, I got tickets!! I'm getting a chance to see my favorite dancer from the show, Mark Kanemura, dance live, so I'm super, super happy!!
That's all I have to say for now, but, um...more another time. Maybe. Depends on how lazy I am.

| Things I've thought about this morning so far...I remembered earlier just how many malls I went to in Jakarta last summer. I looked up a list of Indonesian malls, and while I don't remember the names exactly, I'm pretty sure I've covered a lot of the list for malls in Jakarta. Not to mention the mall I went to in Singapore, and the one in L.A. (but I'd been to several malls in L.A. many, many times...for twelve years, so they were nothing new). Oh-- and the several malls I went to in Thailand (if your ever in Bangkok, check out The Platinum Fashion Mall)! Bali was cool, because there were a lot more places to go and things to see. Jakarta was like, building, building, building, shack, building, car, car, car....And Malls galore. Very tall malls (they don't have space to build out, unlike our malls in the U.S., so they build up). Some of them are very nice and some are sort of...well...not so nice. It was interesting to see the malls in Southeast Asia too. The nicer malls in Indonesia were set up the way they are here, with one floor set up as food court. Most of the malls, Indonesia and in Thailand, were actually set up more like swap meets. There weren't signs over the stores. There were dividers in the middle of the rooms with more little shops. Not a lot of walking room in the individual stores, either. Interesting about the Platinum Mall in Bangkok was that it was very nice, but also set up in a similar fashion. Plus, in the food court, you had to put money on a little card, then go around, pick what you wanted to eat from one of the little food places (there was a KFC, and then everything else was just different varieties of noodles and soups) and hand over the card and they would take money off of it. I guess you would put more money on it if you lived there, but we didn't so we only put enough money on to buy us what we needed. When the card had no more money, you returned it or renewed it. You also had to buy your drinks (and dessert) at a separate stand. It was interesting. I also liked the parking decks in Singapore, but that's for another day...

You know, if you don't surround a bull with a bunch of red to aggravate it, it's really just a male cow. Granted, it's got horns, but if you don't make it mad, what's it gonna do? Bulls have this reputation for being mean and stuff...but like, duh. If you purposefully provoke, yeah, it's gonna be angry. And it's got horns. So now you've just screwed yourself over. If you leave the animal alone, I think you'll be good, don't you?

| Post about nothing in particular...Michael Caine's real name is Maurice Mickelwhite. I like Michael Caine better....
My family and I went to South Park to see the Charlotte Symphony play. It was going to be a bunch of Broadway music, so I was preparing for a nice guessing game of "What Song? What Show?". We had a picnic and everything- very nice. Then the rain fell...No matter. We'll stick out, we thought. The symphony struck up again about 15 minutes later, when the rain had lightened. Then thunder sounded right in the middle of a woman singing "Cabaret". End show. Ah well. The food was good. Never underestimate cheese whiz.
There are so many movies coming out this summer that I want to see...and I'm pretty sure I don't have the money to see them all...
I am completely fascinated by how Robin Williams creates characters. I was watching him on Inside the Actor's Studio. I'm amazed by how he can formulate an idea or thought, run with it, be led to the next thought and then just run with that. So interesting to watch...
Is O.J. still looking for the killer?
Have you ever been to a wedding with a dessert reception? I have. It's the most brilliant idea ever.
I miss the beach. I would like to go sometime this summer.
I have also decided that I might just start the "Kara Wants to Back-Pack Through Europe So Please Donate Some Money Thank You Fund". :D
