Anyhow, I've come across some interesting stuff. First being the essay that I liked so much when we did one of those practice AP essay dealie things. I'm not sure what score I got on that one....but yes I really really liked it so I found it online.

Another thing I found was the whole Colorgenics thing that I found on TammyLoh.com. My results made me sound all depressed and blah. Fo sheezies.

Anyhow, I get to go home today *woohoo* because I don't have class tomorrow! So Damy is going to take me after he's done with his lab. Good thing. I think I'm getting sick. My throat tiene dolor, and for me, that's always cause for worry.

I think (hope) that I can see Sar and Sunflower this weekend. The Apes might join as well later on Saturday. Ergh. I think I have a review session that night. Which brings me to my next worry...

Midterms are next week. I've got my two midterms back to back...two (one?) day after my lab exam. Curse-ed.

I've been dreaming some annoying stuffs lately. I've been waking up, falling asleep, and then dreaming that I wake up. So when I dream I wake up I take care of everything and go to class...and then I really wake up. Ugh. The worst is when I dream that I wake up late and I panic up the wahoozie. Ah well. What can I do foo.

And for those of you who would rather be disgusted than amused, here's proof that too much of anything is not very pretty. (Thanks for the links Mogy)

Anyhow, I have to empathize with Sar's perception of her sister (1/24). Except I don't feel that my brother is the complete opposite of me--just a much better version of me.

Speaking of better he whipped absolute booty on the PSATs (they got the results late because they had to be de-anthraxed =X). He beat my total score by 9 points easy. Scholarship money anyone? I certainly hope so, because I didn't get any.

It's almost 4am and i'm still up programming. Geez... never stayed at school doing homework for that long either. I didn't get outta there until a lil after 1am, and i'm still not done with the program. Yes... JAVA is hard, but i've come to the conclusion that it's healthy. Before the ICS minor, my life was pretty "chillax." Sure i had a few points of stress, but that was nothing compared to now. Now i'm more active, physically and mentally. I'm actually studying.... *HARD*. The last time i really studied this hard was... back in high school for Pre-Calculus. So yah, this stress is good. JAVA is fun =) ... really!

"The Great Gatsby: A very good, quotable book. It's something you should read more than once."

So anyway, I had a lab-ful day. It was highly not good. I would go into detail but for some *odd* reason I feel pressed for time.

Despite the fact that I feel pressed for time, it did not stop me from perusing the nominees for the Bloggies (or whatever they're called). The only two sites on there that I visit with any frequency are LYD.com and (naturally) Blogger. Duh. Anyway...time to be...meh.

Envy is back up after, like, two days. I was able to get some writing up after quite a long time. There's one from the ninth posted in the archives that never quite made it to the main writing page...because I have another one that'll be posted soon. Promise.

When you use Krazy Glue be sure you know where you're putting it...I got a smear of it on my skin and I really don't think it'll be coming off anytime soon. It looks like I have some sort of skin disease or something. It says on the tube to use acetone to un-stick skin from things...I wonder if it'll get the glue off of skin as well. I'll give it a shot when I get back after my (*sigh*) 21 lecture.

Today is my lab exam. I want to shower but the showers are full. All two of them are filled with two people. If there were three people then at least one of the stalls would have two people in it according to the pigeonhole rule/principle/theory whatever the heck it was... Three is also the minimum amount of people needed to guarantee that at least one of the stalls will have two people in it.

And that's what I learned in math class. Kooky, ain't it.

Apes and I got up for breakfast today. Amazing. My...sixth commons breakfast this school year. The third one this quarter. Oh I be proud, oh yes I be. We took in things to fill with coffee so I have warm coffee to drink right now. She has warm coffee too, she's in class drinking it, though. Bah.

I'm feeling rather inane right now. I'm just killing time until one of the showers frees up.

Sar sent me an eGreeting. Muchos gracias mi amiga.

Envy.nu is being a certified pain in the arse. Feckin webhost (Angela's Ashes lingo por vida).

I forgot my cell charger at home. Kelly is a moron.

Although I have nothing to blog. Erghs.

I kind of want a cookie, but it'll make me thirsty. Then I'd want coffee or something. Black coffee. We need to get a coffeemaker in here. Black coffee tastes muy delicioso with sweet foods. Yesterday I had black coffee and cake. Oiishiiiii.

Now I have a headache and my tongue hurts from eating these sour lifesaver things. I've really got to read/study.

I took the what kind of drink are you? test and I am......an ice cube!

And no, an ice cube is not some sort of weird mixed drink or whatnot.

Go figure.

I went to go see my brother's (CYMO) concert yesterday at Pomona College. It was mos' excellent. Flyness in an auditorium. Anyhow, I saw Qboy there. Turns out he had come with one of his basketball buddies that happened to be the grandson of our neighbor. He's friends with one of the first violins (I think she's a first). Connections connections. I haven't seen that guy in aaages. Qboy told me that he wanted to go to Irvine next school year. Haha.

Anyhow, they played a Mendelssohn violin concerto with the concertmaster from the LA Phil solo-ing. It was quite amazing. I was sitting in the balcony almost directly above the stage, so I had a great view. They also played Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet. You can't go wrong with Tchaikovsky.

I'd better get going on my homework. I think I'm ready for my lab exam (eek) but I still need to do some writing and stuff...

I believe Scam, Ape and I are going to go to the screening tomorrow night...woohoo-ha. Yadda blah. Anyway.

I've been neglecting the journal. As soon as I find a better way to archive I'll get the new entries up.

She's nineteen. Ooooold fart.

This quarter is my Chinese quarter. Last quarter was my Korean quarter. This quarter everyone seems to think I'm Chinese. I wonder if next quarter I'll finally have a Japanese quarter.

Anyhow this thing has been slightly neglected by my standards (everything is relative) because, I have stuff to do. Programming stuff to be exact. I have my first lab exam on Tuesday. Lets hope I don't fail too miserably. In fact, let's hope I pass. I will pass my lab exam. Say it with me now. I will pass my lab exam.

In the meantime, I have nothing to do. Hm. I have a checklist...

-Call Textstore
-Get checks cashed
-Do math homework
-Do reading for 39C
-Write position paper
-Study the lab like mad
-Copy music and email J

People in our hall still don't know everyone. Earlier this week I saw Downstairs K and J on their way to LARC when I walked out of the dorm, and Downstairs K was like "Do you live here?" and J said "Yes she lives here!" Erm, I remember talking to the guy during welcome week. He used to get my and Ape's names mixed up. Yesterday I saw this guy walking out of one of the downstairs suites. I didn't recognize him so I just kept walking and he's like "What? No hi?" I said hi and he said "You're Kelly right?". Oh dear...heheh. After that I recognized him and apologized profusely for forgetting who he was. The thing is, he moved into the dorm sort of late and I had only seen him twice, and this was all before break. Now his hair is longer and "kinda shaggy" as he put it. *gah*

Okay now I'm just killing time...allow me to stop boring you.

Oh yes I forgot...I went to Scam's room to watch Hannibal. Gory is the word for it. I used to really really like all that bloody ooky stuff but I think I'm becoming re-sensitized for whatever reason. Maybe because I was feeling kind of ooky myself. What made it worse was that Scam's roommate came in and told us to go watch her suitemate's J's computer because it was "so gross". In fact, when me and Scam went in to watch it J opted to sit outside rather than see it again. It was pretty nasty. There was this girl who was sticking her whole hand in her mouth and throwing up and I mean she was really throwing up fo sheezies she was launching it like madd. Those who know me should know that puking makes me extremely uneasy, so I stopped watching after she threw up twice and asked J what the rest of the RealAudio/Video clip was of. J said that as soon as she stopped vomiting, she started eating her regurgitated food. Oh fo sheezies I'm glad I didn't watch the rest.

I'm throwing up my baby bumblebee won't my mommy be so proud of me...I'm throwing up my baby bumblebee (you know the rest....=X)

Anyhow, I've been relatively busy. Relative to last quarter that is. Last quarter I was bored to death. Now I have places to go, things to do, etc. And not enough time. It's good. And here I am wasting time blogging. Ahhh....back to normal =D

Ugh I've been almost regretting choosing MC as my location of choice. ME is sooo much closer to all my classes *sigh* I was really feeling it on Tuesday when I was sitting in ICS and realized that I forgot my floppy. It took me a half an hour to get to my room and then back to ICS. I was 20 minutes late to lab. Ergh. Moronic.

I had some chicken katsu con huevos Tuesday night. Damy took me before we went to go study with his friend M, another ICS major. She seems to know her stuff. Lucky for her =P

I got all 21ed out today. Sat for about three hours really reading over lab 1. I got most of it down but ran into an error that I could not locate because dude Kelly is a moron. UJ sat with me for a while and worked out the kink and then talked me through some of my ICS woes. And fears. I think he created some new woes and fears for me...hahah. It's all good, things are a little more in perspective now.

The electrical outlets in the library don't work. I had my computer plugged in but I got a warning telling me that my battery was running low. Bastard.

Well, that's what I've been up to lately. School. Not very interesting huh?

You're strong and intelligent, but you're also bitter, pissed off, and have some serious issues with life, the universe, and humanity in general."

It's been a peachy day. Apes brought back a 1.5 liter bottle of peach water that we finished off in a hour or two. Ooooh we'll be peeing all night =X She got mochi too. Mitsuwa baby. I want tonkatsu in beef curry.

I did not switch out of my painful eight o clock. Blasted. The searchable schedule...lies...all lies!

Oh yes, Damy found peach smints at Target (there were a lot of targets in that coding...)! They're so peachy. I mean...really...peachy. Flyness in a plastic dispenser yes it's quality stuff.

I've got homework up the freakin wahoooozie. Some fun ICS-ing and math-ing and writing-ing.

Ergh I still want tonkatsu....

E sent me the UCI wind ensemble for non majors site and they don't have auditions! Heh...I miss my flute. I miss a lot of things. They played Earle of Oxfords. I'm listening to a recording of them playing it now. I'm going to be the worst one there if I decide to join but whatever.

I heard Kabalevsky's The Comedians on the radio this morning in the car which was quite awesome yes the high point of my morning. Oh yes and I got to spend some QT with the Mogy this afternoon. Nice day it was. Heh.

You won't believe how addictive The Sims are. Argh. I'm still trying to figure it out but g'dang it's simulated flyness. Oh, one thing. I don't know how to make them happy. Ergh. That and I killed one of them. And then I sold her urn for $4. Bwahahah. It's a good thing I don't have them Sims at home because it would be incredibly distracting. I actually sat down and did some hardcore homeworking for three hours straight. Discrete math is some kooky stuff.

Blogback is not working. Cursed thing.

Oh yes, and here's another good site that UJ had sent me the other day. It only works if you have a PC w/ a C drive, but knowing this twisted world that would be more than likely. Neato contito. Have a nice day.

*note: Damy sent me the actual link. I think B gave me a pic that didn't move or something so here's the actual picture.

Anyhow, I went to go have a Wednesday night dinner con Ape at ME just the way we did last quarter. It was pretty empty, because we went at 7:30 instead of the usual 7. She was also not rushing because work was slow for whatever reason.

I have come to the concrete conclusion that guys suck and that I give up. Yes I could just go on and on about that...but ergh...not here...not now (although I do believe that I made XL listen to a good portion of it on more than one occasion XL I think I love you).

I got cookies at Trader Joe's after math (fricken prof let me add the class!!) thanks for the ride Damy. Oh and my petition for my 21 classes went through thank goodness. I found out that I am officially a sophomore now. Creepiness. Oh well...whatever the case I'm pretty sure I'm still on the ten year plan =\ Frightening.

I still don't have my links page up, too lazy to fix it up. I'll get it done sooner or later, I promise. But since I don't have it up, and not too many people get to the main page, I just want to re-plug the site Starkdavingmad.com because it's a new daily for me.

Okay, time for me to really finish up my godforsaken Speculative Prospectus now. If any of you are 39C-ers do it on the SATs at the UC's and tell me about it because I'm curious about the whole thing but I'm not doing it because I don't think I can write about them objectively (lets put it this way no SATs=no guaranteed job or at least it seems to be that way...)

The Egotist by Sarah Fells

In a self-centered circle, he goes round and round,
That he is a wonder it's true;
For who but an egotist ever could be

I know blogger has been being a pain all night when it comes to updating, so I've been doing all my updating here instead...it really works!

The other thing is the new iMac that has been unveiled...finally. The top tier will be shipping in February. Flyness computerized. I'm a Mac-y at heart.

Oh yes, I think I'm going to get to try out the Sims, thanks to J and Scam. Woohoo. More distractions.

There is seriously no place like home *sigh* I really want to be there right now, although being here isn't too bad at the moment. It's quiet. It's nice. It's just not home. I'd really like to just curl up in my own bed and read. Or just sleep.

It's funny...I sleep better when Ape is here. I think I'm just not used to sleeping in here alone. Strange, isn't it?

I need to get Tuesday's With Morrie (thanks for reminding me Sunflower) and Lord of the Rings (just getting caught up in the craze...).

Oh yes, and for more bookish-ness. P had read Memoirs of a Geisha over winter break as well. He said he wanted to start reading more for pleasure, which is flyness.

I think I need my music to keep me happy. I feel like I have this hole in my life. In all honesty, I had no idea what a big part of me music is because I've always had it there. Always, that is, up until this past summer. I played my last concert on July 1st. 1712 Overture quite interesting. It was for conservatory but it was really nice because our Queen Ant (our MALE hs band director) was filling in on percussion for us. I know he did duck call among other things =)

DJ said that if he played the guitar for me I'd have to audition for the wind ensemble. I'm such a chicken. I really wish UCI would offer flute classes for non-majors...fwee.

Eh. Bazook-zooka bubblegum.

Apes just reminded me about a dream I had the other day about being able to play a Dashboard song on the guitar. I don't remember whether I was singing or not, but that was pretty cool. The sad thing was, I also remember trying to play the one chord I learned on the guitar (G...? Dammit I forgot) but I couldn't. Ah well.

His soc teacher had asked the class why they had come to UCI. One girl answered "Because I got rejected from UCLA." which prompted a round of applause from the rest of the class. Word to your mother. Anyhow yes P is a cool guy and sort of like me, just with a more positive outlook on things. I nurse my bitterness.

I got my ethernet cable today at the bookstore while E tried to go pick up her pictures. Another one, for my laptop because disconnecting the cube is a pain. I still love my cube.

Which reminds me, J, the other Mac lover had said "I'd rather have a G4 than a girlfriend" which cracked me up because DK had posted a comment below that a good computer is worth more than a girlfriend.

I got the fridge cleaned out Sunday afternoon. The uncle helped me get it mold free. Even though it smells rather bleach-y, it's clean and disinfected. Wooohoo. Cold beverages once more.

Apes is back, minus her wisdom teeth. She's still hurting a little but she's out cold...without drugs =D

I had a strawberry milkshake at In n Out. I went w/ Scam after dinner. We sat and chatted then headed back around 11:30. Gawd it's freezing.

My momma gave me a penny, she said to go to Denny's, but I don't want no Denny's, instead, I want some bubblegum. Bazooka-zooka bubblegum.

Natch.

midori (8:31 PM): I'm just bored
Tbone (8:31 PM): get a b/f
Tbone (8:31 PM): i here that they're the same as a g/f
Tbone (8:32 PM): they're fun
Tbone (8:32 PM): but they cost $$
midori (8:32 PM): hahaha

Tbone (8:33 PM): yup
Tbone (8:33 PM): but i hear the male ones are cheaper
Tbone (8:34 PM): yup

Anyway, I've got homework. Can you believe it? Eh.

I slept for a very long time last night. I'm still tired. I got throat drops and stuffs, and my throat feels a little better, but other than that I feel straight up nasty. Eh.

I still need to get my books from Spaz. I will...tonight. I know he didn't go home...

So tired I feel so uninspired. Uninspired to write that is. Actually, uninspired to do much of anything.

About the fridge, I talked to Apes and she said that she left the door open, however the guy who came in to fix her screen might have closed it =\ So now it's all moldy and I have to clean it up. The tray below the freezer compartment thing is all nasty because the frost defrosted and all the water went into the tray and now there's mold growing all over the water and everything. I don't know what to do with it. I wonder whether I can flush it down the toilet, because I don't know if I can make it downstairs without spilling it. I wiped up a bunch of the mold that was all over the fridge, but I still need to take care of them puddles....argh.

I got the eight o clock writing class. There's a girl named E in that class who had the same bill problem that I did. Woe be us. Both of us have to add a ton of classes. We went to go take our add cards to admin and got some books, then we went to go eat breakfast at Pippin because it was so fricken early. I chillaxed in her dorm room for a long while. Turns out she knows XL's roommate and all. Oh yes, and I met yet another person who knows Qboy.

I'm back in the room, sick like mad. My throat HURTS. I'm going to get some stolen lemon tea. Maybe I'll make chicken noodle soup from a can. What I really want is my leftover pasta from last night (CPK woooohoo) but Random left for home and my food is in her fridge (for obvious reasons) and I have no fricken clue concerning the whereabouts of her roommates.

Oh yeah, and I'm tired too.

Boy is this going to be a fun-filled weekend. There appears to be no one here....

More on my day some other time (like you care) I've got to get to bed. ARRRRRRR

So anyway, it was a good new year's and new year's eve. I spent part of my new year's eve over at Nishi with Mogy and Juniper. We kicked back, ate some good soba, watched America's Sweethearts and ate everything in sight. Mmmm good shrimp with cocktail sauce spam musubi spinach dip with bread chicken yumm....oh and lots of apple cider. Lots and lots.

I left a little after ten to go drop off the brother at home and then picked up Scam and Leah and then went to Sar's house. You know what's sad? We actually spent time playing solitaire =X Me and Sar have some sort of addiction to it now. Anyway...Scam left so the rest of us played some Worst Case Scenario. It was fricken hilarious. We learned how to avoid diarrhea in a third world country and what to do if you're charged by a rhino.

At midnight we busted out some more apple cider. Yum. We chilled and talked until about three. We left and I took Leah home.

New year's was family day. I swear, we agreed that the worst thing about being Japanese was the food. I like ozoni, but I can't stand nishime that smells like rotten feet and tastes no different, or gobo, that tastes and smells like yuck. And the daikon with carrot and vinegar stuff. Erk. Oh yes I cannot forget konyaku. I hate hate HATE konyaku. Alright enough about bad food. I'm hungry and I'm going to go eat some good food. Wish me luck in finding something =D

On another note, happy new year. 2002. It's symmetrical.
