walking std

So we went to UCI on our lunch break to check out the Halloween sale at the bookstore (insane crowds, insane lines!). I had to use the restroom so I made a detour to the main library (erm, excuse me Langson library oh how quickly I forget...) and lo and behold, bathroom stall graffiti! I took pictures of the interesting scribbles because I am weird. One of them was this which included a first and last name!

I facebook-ed the name and indeed he is a facebook user (and indeed I am a stalker)! Anyway I showed the graffiti photos to my coworkers and they both saw his facebook user photo.

[1:25 PM] me: http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile2/684/44/n6022802_22764.jpg
[1:26 PM] korean coworker: awww, he's being "in your face".
[1:26 PM] korean coworker: Makes you want to fold him up and put him in your pocket.

I have a couple more graffiti photos. Something about a hottie with a body.

the sad phone story

yes, i am pretty sure my phone is gone as gone. tis my fault really. i think i left my phone at jack in the box last night. i was a bit inebriated (but, y'know, what else is new) but le coworker made sure i didn't leave anything at our table so perhaps it fell on the floor or i left it in the bathroom or something...well if i did i'm pretty sure someone picked it up and has it in their possession right now :( i called it continuously last night and no one picked up...i also called jack's last night and this morning and no one had seen my phone. anyway, i called it this morning before 9AM which i am sure irritated the possessor because the third time i called it my phone cut out after the second ring and from then until now my phone has been off (irritated that i was calling and calling and calling so early in the morning perhaps?)

all signs point to MY PHONE IS LOST AND GONE FOREVER and what really really bugs me isn't the fact that i'm going to have to buy a new phone (i was going to have to do it regardless) but the fact that there's someone out there with all of those phone numbers :( i'm sorry guys. i am dumb.

no more crickets

no more chirping at all hours and no more fears of cricket babies being made in my apartment!

i'm a fugly, chain-smoking hag!

So I was perusing the reader responses to this article (something I posted about a while ago)

According to the article, I am a career girl. I have a university degree, I work 35+ hours outside of the home, I earn more than $30K a year.

According to this (very charming, very eloquent) poster my career girl status means that I am a stupid, gold digging, flannel-wearing, fat/fugly, butch, bitchy hag that should be avoided at all costs (not that anyone would want me anyway). Oh, and that I have more back hair than my boyfriend.

I highly doubt that poster (along with the majority of the other male posters on the board) represents the majority of males in the USA, but if by some chance he does I will say right now that I'd rather stay single or turn lesbian than end up with someone like him :)

Happy 22nd to Leanne


left we're missing denise! center we're missing leslie! right we're not missing anybody but my freaking eyes are closed (dammit!)

Leanne's birthday (last Saturday) started at Yardhouse in Long Beach, moved to Mai Tai's which was a 2 minute drive away, and ended at V20. It has been a mighty long time since we've been able to get the girls together for an outing but we somehow made it happen :D Happy birthday Leanne!

ps. Lina and Leslie, you have very lovely booty-shaking and flower-wearing (respectively) boyfriends :)

coworker whose birthday is TODAY: i can't wait to go home and touch my [new] computer

i drop my fork in horror

korean coworker: this is why you shouldn't date computer science guys.

...and here's an edit per a request from said birthday coworker...

me: i've dated nothing but computer science guys!

coworker whose birthday is TODAY: sux2bu

ps. the spelling of "sucks to be you" was also a request from birthday coworker.

weekend

yesterday = way too much money spent shopping and going out. but i did get a free dinner sort of at knotts (company picnic) and street traffic sucked five asses when trying to leave due to halloween haunt pedestrians. went to yardhouse (happy 22nd to leanne!), mai tai, and v2o afterward. and that's all.

today (right now) i am at le boyfriend's apartment (i was going to say something bad about him but he was watching me type) just kicking it like tae bo.

i suppose i'm going to head back to tustin a bit earlier than usual because my laundry is in desparate need of doing.

bf's roommate is cooking and it smells sort of good?

(btw i was kidding about the saying something bad about him thing)

symposium wine bar and banh mi

okay everyone needs to post on their livejournal/xanga/blog/whatever because i'm starting to feel like a loser for being the only one who updates like i have no life or something (and please no one comment that i am a loser that has no life that's not being helpful!)

okay i think i'm tired now.

dreams don't mean anything....right?

Okay so I had a dream that I was nine months pregnant and about to give birth (Leanne was pregnant too for whatever reason oh and Lina had Prada jeans but that's kind of irrelevant) which is disturbing and made only more disturbing by the fact that 3 weeks ago I dreamt that I was eight months pregnant.

It was weird. No contractions or water breakage or any of that. And I still fit into my jeans.

bahh

I had a glass of blush champagne with dinner fell asleep while reading and just woke up about 20 minutes ago (super sorry to the bf who called earlier =\)

Anyway, I got a special Derek so I'm going to do this...thing?

***List five truths. Five things that are on your mind. Good, bad, it matters not. Lift some weight off. Then, pick five people to do the same.***

1. Ignoring my phone on my birthday is a little thing I started doing after this one time Ra just turned off his cell for the duration of his birthday. It seemed like a good idea, and it was. I've done it every year since.

2. I am such a total wreck.

3. I am also a bad girlfriend.

4. I have a lot to be thankful for; there are a lot of things that I have that I probably don't deserve. I have some wonderful people in my life that are remarkably good to me, I'm financially stable (sort of at least for now?), and I suppose I have everything I'd ever wanted at this point in my life.

(okay this is random but my computer just connected to the peer-to-peer "network" "i hate mini asians" which is something adam made for me during a 156 study session a long long time ago)

5. I think that over the past few years it has become even more difficult to trust people and what they think of me and I think it's becoming somewhat debilitating.

Okay so half of that did not even make sense but give me a break please after all it's 5 in the morning!

(almost)

Anyhow, I tag anyone who is feeling a little insightful. That is all.

nutella and news

yesterday i bought nutella but i'm not sure why...?

tell me what you think about this article!

edit:

edit (again) Okay dudes here it goes...

bracing self for barrage of criticism and rotten tomatoes

I actually did not find this article offensive at all. As I was reading it, it was painfully clear to me that the author is actually quite against affirmative action and believes that putting Asians at a disadvantage simply for having a large portion of their population meet admission standards is ridiculous. I can see where a few of the references might have been kind of offensive (bamboo and pandas, anyone?) but they didn't really bother me at all. Probably because it contributed to the asshole image he was trying to create. To me, the whole piece was practically dripping with sarcasm.

However, I guess if it offended so many it probably shouldn't have been printed =\ I'm not sure why I wasn't quite so riled up. Maybe it's because I'm borderline illiterate (and only getting worse as evidenced by the downhill spiral of my blogs) and a bit insensitive (okay, very insensitive).

To each his own *shrug*

I'm really curious about how those who support affirmative action feel about the article, i.e. the people he was targeting. If anyone can find some sort of thread or anything of the sort please send it to me :)

One last interesting thing is that my little brother felt the same way I did regarding the article. I suppose blood really does run thick. It's either that or his EECS schooling is making him just as illiterate as I am :(

yeah after re-reading i realized that i had a total sentence fragment up there that made absolutely no sense. see what i mean by illiterate?

saturday

April trying to tell me about how pot smoking can help prevent Alzheimer's...

April: Did you know that weed can prevent marijuana?

...and after I told her about how excessive marijuana usage can lead to impotence...

April: You'd probably have to drink a lot before that happens.

I love you Apes ;)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs!


l. so we could buy alcohools r. rapt audience

So yeah Steve awesomely tracked down tickets for Sunday's sold out show at the Palladium as an early birthday gift for me sooooo that means I finally got to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! So I picked up Brian in Brentwood before heading off to Hollywood to see Karen O prance around in her Christian Joy couture whilst screaming into a microphone.


l. my fantastic view of the stage r. non-vip balcony (we are not vips)

We mostly missed the openers (who were they again?), catching only the tail end of the second band's set (sort of, we were getting wristbands and buying beer while they were playing). I was so out of place. I did not have skinny jeans or tattoos and my glasses were not of the thick black framed variety. And I am asian. But never mind all of that.

We went up to the balcony and ended up on the end verrry close to the stage and unable to see anything other than the front of the stage (everything else was obscured by the curtain) but it gave me an unobstructed view of miss Karen (most of the time at least) and a place to steady my camera (which they did not confiscate YAY). It was a good show--a mix of songs from Fever to Tell and Show Your Bones plus one song that I think must have been totally new because no one in the audience seemed to know it. She played my favorite off of Show Your Bones (Cheated Hearts) but she didn't play my favorite off of Fever to Tell (Pin) so after the show I had to go to my car and play it for myself on my CD player :( Anyway, I would totally go see them again so if they ever come back and anyone wants to go I am soooo there!

I took about a jillion pictures of Karen O trying to get a few clear ones of each of her costumes. Most of them turned out kind of crappy but here are the slightly less crappy ones.

top row 01 wearing some sort of shredded hood thing 02 wearing just one glove a la michael jackson 03 shredded superhero 04 spotlight

bottom row 05 zoomed in 06 you'd be tired too 07 yyy cape 08 attention whore
