Ah poop my nail just broke.

It's weird how your environment, the people around you, all these factors change but your outlook and self-perception does not. It's funny (and I guess a little sad) that I always meet people with the assumption that they're not going to like me simply because I look like a loser. OH and that's another thing. You go through the first twelve to fourteen years of your education with the same people in the same environment and of course, you get labeled with something that is mighty hard to shake when you're surrounded by the very people who gave you the label day in and day out. And then one day you go to college and again you have people labeling you but THIS time it's a label that's based on who you are at that moment and not who you were six to eight years ago. Imagine my surprise when a good friend of mine said that his first impression of me (four years ago holy crap) was that I was one of those intimidating Asian (rather, azn) girls whom he thought wouldn't give him the time of day. You know,the ones with the scary eyebrows and a face full of makeup. Except I didn't have scary eyebrows or a face full of makeup, so that might have been an anomaly. But you know what I mean. Right.

My own self-image and what I believe other people see when they see me is a bit outdated (by like, ten years) but I have yet to figure out what exactly it is that I really am according to the people around me. Please spare me lectures on how it doesn't matter what other people think blah blah blah...I think most people care about what others think to some degree. Plus, first impressions are omegaimportant. I just wish I knew what kind of impression I make =\ Don't we all, though?

Anyway.

I had Hawaiian plate lunch today and I feel like a fat slug. Just not as slimy.

ps. hoho the polo you gave me fits perfectly :)
