I forgot to mention, I went to go see Better Luck Tomorrow on Sunday with my little brother and my dad. It's out in all theaters now! Well, a lot more than before anyway. Anyway...

Yes, I live in Southern California. The movie itself is supposed to take place in Orange County (where I'm living currently) and some of it was filmed in LA county (my hometown). Turns out I know a couple of the extras and the bf knows a mess of them, being from OC and all. Anyway, what I'm saying is that the whole thing kind of hit close to home. Well, not close to home but within a ten foot radius. My area was a little more (a lot more ;P) ghetto than theirs, but still.

I'm still extremely tired so I can't really put things into words as of now. In any case, Perry Shen (Ben), Karin Anna Cheung (Stephanie), and Roger Fan (Daric) were there for signings and such after we got out of the theater (unexpected bonus!) My brother's a huge fan of BLT (it was his second time seeing it) so we got in line for signed posters. What I learned was that Shen buys a BLT ticket every week, John Cho (aka MILF guy) hates being called MILF guy, and Sharpie makes silver sharpies! Very cool.

I want a silver sharpie.

Did you miss me?

Yeah...I didn't think so either ;P

Anyway, I had two midterms today and two quizzes yesterday. That's why I've been kind of not here.

I don't have much to write. Except that I love texttwist. Yum yum.

Ohhh....must...buy...book!!!

yay :)

I guess that means I've been blogging two years and nine months now?

I'm a geekface.

So I'm walking to art history this morning. As I approached the building I see this group of five or six kids that look like they're about 12 to 13 or so. As I got closer to the group, I see them kneeling by the plants and I hear them talking. Turns out, they're playing with snails. Racing them, to be exact.

Dear oh dear...

So I went to a funeral on Sunday. It was a small service with a bunch of relatives that I didn't know (Mom's side of the family). So anyway, my Mom was telling one of her (our) relatives something...

Mommy: (referring to me) She's in her second year of college. She's going to UC Irvine. And he (my brother) is a senior right now. He's going to be going to Berkeley next year.

Relative: Ahh so he's the brains of the family.

Thanks for the link =)

Anyway, I've been dying to redesign the site, but in all honesty, I don't seem to have to time =\. I want to try some new colors. Maybe some warm colors. Mm...maybe over the summer?

I can't seem to find the password for the bf's site. Dammit! I have it saved on my FTP application but...*gah*

Bleh.

Flashbacks...=(

Two years later and I still don't know my calculus...

It's just a thought. Extremely random.

Yes.

It also dawned on me that I lost touch with a lot of Jr. Y and camp people. Quite frankly, I don't feel bad about it either. I wonder why...?

The bf has been updating pretty regularly these past few days. I'm impressed.

I had more to write. But I forgot what. Oh well.

Last night I was seriously too tired to really comprehend what I had just gotten away with, but it hit me this morning with full force.

Like whoa.

I had somehow gotten out of a $1,200 ticket!

=X

Last night I was seriously exhausted. Like...I was so tired I thought I was going to fall asleep kind of exhausted. I know this isn't anything unusual, but I've never gotten close to dozing off on the road before last night. Anyway, I was leaving the bf's (sweetie fed me and introduced me to some of his family that was visiting from Virginia) and took my usual route, making my way towards the 22. Now, when I got to the entrance there were flares on the ground. First thought going through my head was "Why on earth is the lane lined with flares?" and then "Holy crap!" when I realized that there was one directly in my path. At this point I was almost on top of the thing, and couldn't stop before I had passed it. Yes I realize this was beyond moronic but I was really tired and almost in a stupor. Yeah, that's my lame excuse. But yes, the highway patrol had already spotted me plus this other white pickup that had driven onto the exit right besides me. I stopped my car as soon as I saw an officer walking towards me but the other guy started backing out, so they sent three after him, yelling at him to stop his vehicle. I rolled down the window and kept both hands on the wheel. The officer was pissed. So yes, he stood there and asked for my license, asked for my age, and yelled at me for a few minutes. It wasn't until he got to the "$1,200 ticket coming your way" part that I started to panic. All I could remember was Apes telling me how her cousin started crying after getting pulled over for speeding and got let off the hook. So yes, I started to work on those tears. I could get them into my voice but dammit the actual tears weren't coming! I think I was too much in shock to be able to really cry, so I was concentrating on faking it. Three more minutes and I'll bet I would have been able to deliver, but next thing I knew the officer told me "I'm going to help you back out now" and when another officer called out "You want me to write a ticket?" the officer who had been yelling at me said "No." I think the other guy got ticketed =X First he wouldn't stop his car, and second, I have the feeling he threw attitude. But *whew*! I'm telling you this, I am not above crying to get out of a ticket. Especially a $1,200 one. I don't know why he let me off, but he did. Gawd.

Mm. Talked to Mogy and KQ for a while this afternoon. I think I'm luckier than I'd previously thought. I have close friends and family, a boyfriend who cares enough to put effort into making me happy, and direction in life. I have something to do. Things certainly aren't perfect, but I'm luckier than most. I'm not tangled up in much huge messy drama, and I have people to turn to when things go wrong. I know who I am, and I'm able to let a lot of unimportant things go. I know who and what matters in most cases, and that cuts down on a lot of worrying. I know I'm a complainer, but that's only natural. We only seem to acknowledge the things that go wrong, and take the things that go right for granted. It's human nature, but I think we would be a lot happier if we took some time out to focus on the good that's in our lives.

Congrats to Mogy (aka neenerface) on winning the trip to Japan with her mos def AWESOME Japanese skills!

Need to reach Styna but can't seem to...? =\ Dagnabbit?

I had a lot to write not too long ago. It now eludes me.

Today has been an extremely long day. I've been awake since before seven am (many thanks to the bf for putting me up for the night so I wouldn't have to deal with 11pm ParkWatts parking ;P) and on campus since nine. It's seven now. I'll be going back to the apartment in about four hours...

I almost ran into someone yesterday before work. I was trying to fix my parking and I guess she was walking behind my car when I was backing up. I didn't see her for some reason (I think I was just really tired)...or at least until she started saying "Whoa...whoa whoa!!!" I saw her and apologized. Luckily she was very nice about it, and instead of yelling something like "Learn how to drive!" (which is what I had expected) she laughed it off and said "I almost had a heart attack!" and went on her merry way.

I've been on some sort of emotional rollercoaster lately. I'll be really depressed...then I'll be happy...well not happy...but okay. You know?

Okay now I'm rambling nonsense.

Hmm...pepband is going to Davis this coming weekend. I actually had a lot of fun last year (despite the messiness of it all) and I'd like to have gone this year if I didn't have work + a program due on Saturday + a few problems with money (less so now than before though *whew*) Oh well. Maybe next year ;P

Umm...last time I linked DMan it led to some cam girl site...sorry about that. I've landed on that page myself many a time, thanks to some confusion regarding his URL. He needs an index page ;P

Okay...time to quit procrastinating and get some math done. Quiz tomorrow.

I hate integrals.

Yesterday's magic number: 9

I haven't hated myself this much in so long.

Apes is breathing deeply. Not snoring, but I know she's sleeping. It's soothing.

I helped out a first year with his lab this afternoon. My debt to society. I was lucky to have Damy's help. I will be eternally grateful for that.

I'm lucky to have a lot of things, really.

But do I really deserve them?

I'm just weak like that.

Speaking of, I talked to Army Guy online yesterday. He was living it up in Vegas (I'm not sure why he was online) busy burning off the $1,000 he had in his pocket. He left for Kuwait today (or was it that he's leaving tomorrow...?) In any case, I think he probably deserves the break before going off to war. My thoughts are with him.

Today at church an old man slipped and fell on the stairway. I don't even know him but as I walked over to where it happened, I had this fear that he had been hurt badly. Turns out he had just hit his head. Pretty hard, I take it. But he was able to walk with assistance and stubbornly declined the wheelchair that had been brought out for him. It was heart wrenching watching him sit there in a daze as a few of the temple members helped him sit up.

It's slow and I feel really...spaced out. Sick almost. The room keeps moving....up and up and up. Either that or I'm falling. Goodness gracious I feel odd.

Plus I'm extremely...hungry. I have one more hour of work left. I don't think it would be worth my time to take a break now. Bah. I should have taken one earlier.

Revisited Hyakugojyuuichi for a smile.

It seems the bf and I don't have the same sense of humor.

Oh well.

Wouldn't be such a big deal had I not turned down going to the movies w/ DJ and DMan to make sure I'd be back by ten (the approximate time that he told me he'd see me) and when he finally IMed me at 10:30-ish it didn't even seem like he wanted to see me so BLAH!

I'm such a big baby sometimes.

Sometimes I feel like I've got it together--that things are coming together. They were, kind of. I've more or less got my hectic schedule under control (granted it's first week, but so far so good...) and I've been handling things fairly well (in my opinion) in spite of my money shortage, packed schedule, and the temporary panic regarding a missing tax form (which was thankfully resolved). But then a stupid little thing like this just makes me fall apart.

...I guess everything really isn't going all that great. All of a sudden I can feel the stress of everything just bearing down on me, and all I want is to sit in my bed and cry by myself.

I want to go home.

haaaaaaa that's right click click click!

;D

Thanks Flute J

I wish I had more hours next quarter...they'd really help =\
