2007-07-08T03:12:00.000-07:00

It's been almost a whole damn month since school let out, and I have been far from productive.
My inversed sleeping schedule isn't making things much better, except that I have countless hours in the night to myself.
Mostly I spend them looking up random articles on Wikipedia, or controlling the lives of my old-school Sims.
"Okay, have a snack, then call Bella and greet her when she gets here... In the meantime, take a bath to make that stupid hygiene bar go back to green. Fuck! When did my social bar get so low?"

Seriously guys, this does not look good.
I went to sleep yesterday morning at 9:15 am, and woke up at 3:45 pm.
It is now 6:30 am.
I spent the whole day reading.

There's barely two months left of vacation... and the summer doldrums just continue sucking the life and whatever out of me. Really, I had to strain just to lift myself out of laziness and come here and type something.

Soap

2005-12-10T14:38:00.000-08:00

Why are there so many kinds of soap? Scented, unscented, hypoallergenic, body soap, hand soap, facial soap, baby soap, cream, liquid, solid, french milled, natural...

We should make a highly concentrated and extremely dangerous corrosive alkaline substance, called XCorros or something, and ship a bottle to every family. Along with it, a manual about using it. Then it would be up to the people to mix it in certain degrees with other stuff for all your household soaps.

1 tspn XCorros + 20 gallons H2O = shampoo
2 cups XCorros + 50 gallons H2O + 1 liter bleach = laundry detergent
1 mL XCorros + 1 cup H2O + any body part = torture device

It would make things so much easier for the industry... but I guess open the floodgates to biological warfare in your neighborhood. At least XCorros smells good.

15. Left
16. Finished Life of Pi on the drive home

Time: 8:14 pm

You know, I might actually go to bed around 12:oo today. Or Sunday, whatever. Hey look! 26 points... Aww, I could have used letters of the alphabet.

New Gorillaz Video

2005-11-03T18:11:00.000-08:00

I know I've never mentioned this to the general public, but I think the Gorillaz are awesome. I got the album in Taiwan over the summer, for like, 379 NT dollars.
That's like, eleven bucks in the US.
But they now currently have three music videos off the new album, Demon Days; they are the widely played Feel Good Inc., Dare, and Dirty Harry. Like the music from Franz Ferdinand, the Gorillaz makes stuff you wanna dance too. I'll probably post about FF later.

Go here to watch it on Yahoo Music, if you have a yahoo account, anyways.
Otherwise, Google it or something.

Oh yeah, I saw that one movie, The Notebook, on Halloween night for the first time. Fitting, don't you think?

New Series of Unfortunate Events Book

2005-10-15T17:38:00.000-07:00

It comes out in three days, wOOt!
I don't know the title yet, but it was leaked yesterday. However, I feel I can wait three days to find out. If any of you already know, DON'T TELL ME.
Tell me and you're dead.
Dead.

So a lot of suspense has been building up to the 18th of October, the date of release for the book. Especially since the website thenamelessnovel.com was put up as a way for fans to learn some tidbits of information of what might happen. Clues were released every day and every few days was a piece of the book itself. So far page 130 of the novel has been shown, though not without the names of important objects being blacked out. A triptych (here meaning three images of misfortune on the same page) was released also, but what is happening is uncertain due to a lack of captions. As you can see above, for the last few weeks, sections of the cover art have been given from the website. Two spaces remain and those pieces of image will be disclosed on the 17th and 18th of October.

Visit the website, thenamelessnovel.com.
Visit the discussion of Book the Twelfth on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nameless_Novel.

You know, to avoid hearing the title prematurely, I'm going to not check the comments for this for the next three days. I think the picture's a little warped, but whatever.

BAM!!!

Confucius Say...

2005-10-02T16:41:00.000-07:00

"When asked about government, Confucius said: 'The people must have sufficient to eat, a sufficient army, and there must be confidence of the people in the ruler.' If forced to give up one of those three, what would he recommend would be given up first, second, and last? When can a nation not exist? "

Hmm...

I think the first to go would be the sufficient army thing. I'm a little torn between the last two because having sufficient to eat means the survival of the people. However, if they have no trust in the ruler, then the people are scattered and chaos and anarchy could ensue.
Yet on the other hand, when the people have confidence in the government, they know that the rulers can get them sufficient to eat. This pretty much weighs on whether the rulers are actually reliable or not. If they are not, then I guess everybody dies and not only do they not have any food, they don't believe in their leaders anymore.

When can a nation not exist?

Well, for one thing, it can't exist with people to live in it.

Obvious, I know.

It can't really be a nation if it's not united either, or if there are people, but those people can't survive long enough to organize the place.
Or maybe a great epidemic will sweep them all off their foundation and the civilation diminshes because of that stupid runny-nose-inducing-flu.

Doing Chem Homework...

Does Van Westenburg want Molar mass, relative atomic, or average?

I think to have a negative charge you need one more electron....

H+ must be an isotope of H.

Why is the general term nuclides?

If I add the atomic masses and get it in amus, how does it turn into grams?

And is that supposed to be a mole or what?

Ahh, it's not actual, it's just relative to Carbon 12.

How did he get 2.2 for 25 divided by 58.5?

6.022 * 10^23 is a big number.

Self-Doubt and Insecurity

2005-09-17T03:46:00.000-07:00

It just gets worse when people tell you different things.
Sigh.
If only I could make everybody happy, then maybe I would feel better. Meh, perfection is impossible.

So anyway, life goes on. I borrowed all three of the Linkin Park CD's from my friend and put them on my computer. Just so you know, Collision Course or whatever it is that they did with Jay-Z does not count to me.

Dictionaries are strange things. Especially the ones that go from language to language. They tell you all about the words and what it means and everything, but they never tell you how to put them together to get a comprehensible sentence.
Like in Mandarin and English, the sentence "What is that?" has all the key elements in both languages. The preposition, the subject, and the conjunction or something, but even though all the words mean the same thing, they turn out funny in direct translation. It becomes "That thing there is what?", because the languages place the subject in different places and stuff.

Yeah.

My nose is stuffed. I'm still getting over the cold I had yesterday.

MCR is playing at EMU today. Wish I were there, real, real, real, real bad. At least I'm in the same state.....
I also wished I was there at that Green Day concert in Detroit last Sunday. Another place I wish I was there real, real, real, real bad.

Stupid Levees

2005-09-01T20:48:00.000-07:00

Hurricane Katrina, that big-ass storm that ripped up New Orleans leaves a whole bunch of people dead. (I really don't feel like posting this, but I think it deserves to be)

And you know who I blame? Those idiots who built the levees for only storms up to level 3. Why not level 4 or 5? I'm sorry that your "cost-benefit" calculations predicted debt or something, but you had enough sense to know that the worst could happen, and especially to a place that is below sea level. Were you thinking about your cost-benefit analyzations when the water rose above the levees? Were you thinking about it when it tore the first hole in the wall? When the water flooded the streets and rolled 18-wheelers into homes and hotel?

That was all cost, and no benefit.

Now there are three giant holes we have to fill up with sandbags and gravel, complete annihlation of at least three coastal cities, and tens of thousands of people dying from hunger, bad conditions, diseased air and water, lack of medication, electricity, and safety. People are looting stores and forming gangs. Stealing, raping, shooting. On the news some lady went into diabetic shock as she was talking to a reporter. The doctors are leaving the sickest to suffer and die.

A psychologist looked like he was having a field day when he talked about humans going to their basic instincts and losing civilty, a total Lord of the Flies scenario. I agree that it will be interesting to observe from a scientific standpoint, but hell, they're humans! Not test subjects! We're all too busy trying to fix things and some guy is laughing at how they destroy it.
There's a Beast in all of us then, isn't there?

Well, last I heard, they were bussing a whole load of people from the stadium in New Orleans to the stadium in Houston. They've got running water, electricty, AC, and everything. Kudos to you, bus-guys. You don't get enough credit.

Hey Baby Hey Baby Hey

Had some orange juice today.
Listening to No Doubt, obviously.

And a stranger says he knows my mom and went to my high school.

Orange Juice. Hmm.
Ever had really good orange juice? Like, there's no horrible tang in the back of your throat, and it doesn't leave you feeling thirstier. Also, it's nice and sweet, with the right combination of orange sweetness and orange sourness.
Plus pulp. You always gotta have pulp, because it's just a) more filling and b) reminds you of a orange slushie.
Sunny D is an example of the crappy kind. No pulp, not sweet, and it makes you feel like you were just up-chucking.

Whatever happened to Gwen Stefani? She was so cool in No Doubt until they retired, and then she dumped them and got that solo career. Don't get me wrong, I think she's a great individualist with catchy music, but come on! Where's the punk? She's so pop no one even remembers how she got big in the first place. You ask a ten-year old who idolizes her and they'll just say, "No doubt? I don't know what that means but if G-Stef says it I'll say it too!"
G-Stef. Gee-Stef.

Heh.

High School Is Gonna Suck

2005-08-24T10:18:00.000-07:00

Went to the 9th grade orientation today for my high school. Boring crap said by a boring guy with a surprisingly interesting tie.
It was red.

Kept running into an old friend, Katie, and other people named Matthew and Loric. Also Baibak was there, and Guerin sitting far off. Charlene was there, so I said hi, and then a bunch of other people from my middle school just around and registrating and getting school pictures taken.
Ha, my mom saw Dan Evans there and said, "Isn't that Itch-ka-bod?" She remembers him from the school play, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

And yet, after the presentation I saw that I was missing my bus card, so my mom drove me home to get it. On the way we picked up some breakfast and my sister, then went back to the high school. But by then half an hour had gone past and most people were gone, so despite my efforts of looking for someone familiar there was no one I knew there but my mom and sister.

A highlight of that little escapade was that I saw some prep I knew (honestly I hated her) and noticed she had gained like, thirty pounds.
WHO'S FAT NOW, BIIIATCH?

However there is no guarantee of wet t-shirts, but I guess you can stand there and watch anyway.

Purpose

2005-08-14T05:00:00.000-07:00

What's the point of my blog? I already have my own summer notebook, so I don't have anything to document here. And it's not like anybody reads it anyway.
Tsk, tsk. Self-doubt once again, Vook. Horrible for the soul and even more painful for anyone paying attention. Oops, there they go! Everybody's gone now, it's just you.

le sigh...

So last night I watched like, three movies my family borrowed from the local VideoJack (which was recently put under new management and turned into Chart Hits, but I still like to call it it's old name), and then had some leftovers from brunch as a snack. I get hungry a lot.
First there was a Stephen King movie I had found called Dreamcatcher, which turned out to be less Stephen King-ish than I thought it would be. I mean, the ending was actually quite contenting and more mild in the horror sense. If you watch something like Rose Red or Storm of the Century (both made for TV) you experience a lot more suspense and gore, and the signature unsettling conclusion. Elements of War of the Worlds, Stand By Me, telepathy, and Scooby Doo.
Then we had a little bit of comic relief with Man of the House, though it was something I really did not want to watch. Who cares about cheerleaders and undercover agents anyway? Relievingly less cheerleading than Bring It On and Sugar and Spice, but then there was that whole Big Mama's House-esque type of thing.
It wasn't good. It wasn't horrible. I spared myself a good 20 minutes of the movie by playing Runescape while it showed in a different room. Eventually my sister's hysterical laughs brought me to the TV.
Then a movie of a book of a twisted and ingeniously symbolic mind, called Lord of the Flies. If you haven't read the book, you should. Both spooky and entertaining, yet didn't tranlate quite right in the movie. I watched the 1990 version, which should be better than the monochromatic stylin's of the 1963 version.

Runescape is fun. I thought you should know that. Where else can you beat up ugly goblins with your adamantite sword?

Leukemia Strikes Again!

2005-08-09T17:37:00.000-07:00

I'd like to add on to the Peter Jennings story another tale of cancer.
Recently the lead singer of Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin (two of my favorite bands), Andrew McMahon was diagnosed with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia. Yes, it's blood cancer and no, it's not an STD.
Jerks.
However the doctors say that since it was caught in the early stages, full recovery is expected. I'm not too worried, but am whole-heartedly concerned. I mean, Andrew rocks! He's got a nice voice and even nicer hair!
So anyway, in support I've put a button in the sidebar. Check it out. Maybe buy one of the orange bracelets too.

Peter Jennings is Dead

2005-08-09T17:22:00.000-07:00

I always liked him. It was all over the news yesterday, and expecially ABC, whether you had it on channel 7 or something else. Supposedly he had been a smoker until his fifties, and only smoked occasionally after that, but it was enough to give him lung cancer. Also, he had announced it over the air four months ago, but gave us this crap about how he expected to survive it.
Anyways, he's dead now, and sorely missed. People all over the country are sending their grievances, and Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw, Ted Koppel, and other reporters do the same on the air.
I do remember his suaveness though, and how he was always mild-mannered; a people's person. Right now I can see his dead body lying in the hospital bed, lifeless and gray.

Accident on Ford and Plymouth

2005-08-02T20:28:00.000-07:00

I don't know if you've heard it on the news, but a couple days ago, there was an accident in Ypsilanti. A man slammed into another car, killing three people.
The intersection of Ford and Plymouth forms four angles, though being an imperfect cross, you can look across one of the expanses of grass from Plymouth and see Ford running almost parallel. I remember watching it run beside me, yards away, as we closed in on a rural area.
The sky was already dark, and dinner sat comfortably in my belly and filling me with content. Again I was staring out the window with my eyes following the telephone lines as they raced from pole to pole, yet the still black outlines unsettled me - there was no wind outside. Silhouettes froze still against the navy sky. It wasn't too unusual, being it a warm muggy summer night. Even a small breeze would be rare but this silence was not quite right.
Suddenly there were lights ahead, many lights twinkling red and blue. The quiet was broken when muffled noises came through the window. Something was happening, and I sat straight to see. I looked ahead and saw two police cars, their colors glowing in the night. Beside them a large truck was parked, and people were coming out carrying large black bags, like the kind that you see on TV shows when the cops find a- wait. I looked back at the grass behind the curb, and though it was true we were only seconds from the intersection the roads still ran parallel. In the dark I saw a thing - no, things - lying in the grass, illuminated by the lights from the vehicles. Like fabric, the surface seemed to crumple and fold. At first I thought they were some large pieces of litter left on the roadside, but they held too much shape for it. I should have known right then, but I was confused and looked back at the police cars just as they passed us by...
The police.
The uniforms.
The bags.
No, the body bags.
And especially, the bodies.
Dear god, what happened here?

As we were on the return trip from my friend's house, I saw the lights again as we passed the intersection for the second time that night. There were less, and a row of road flares lined the side of the road. By whatever light was left, I could only see the two police cars still there. Two policemen stood by the open door of one and they talked with grim faces. The truck was gone, and I supposed whatever it was on the ground was too.
The car sped on towards home.

Pity Comments

2005-07-28T17:42:00.000-07:00

I hate pity comments. That's all I have to say.

And I think I'm getting a hang of this blog-editing thing.
Now if anyone comes to read my complaints about life with a reasonably good mood, they can slide their eyes to the bottom of the post and have the happiness sucked out of them in one dull and guilty heartbeat.

So I've finished the sixth Harry Potter book, and for all the poor illiterates and hobos too stoned to remember, it's called the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Oh wait, I've just remembered that illiterates can't read this and hobos don't have computers anyway (or else they would sell all their streetside crap for money on Ebay).

Being the decent person that I am, there is absolutely no way I'm going to post any

Ginny sucks face with Dean Thomas! Whoa there!
Ron sucks face with Lavender Brown! Everywhere!
Snape is evil, right?! I dunno!
Malfoy works for Voldemort! No, he must not join the Dark Side!!! Too hot!
Sirius seems dead for good! Why?!
Cho doesn't come back! Geez, so much for any Asian representation in the series.

Listening to: the air conditioner
Mood: anxious, homesick, and nauseous
Stuff in my head: going home, my bodily symptoms, and whether I should check for the seventh time to see if I left my toothbrush on the bathroom counter
The GPS says: bed, bedroom, first floor, my poppy’s house, my poppy’s neighborhood, my poppy’s metro area, Taichung, some county, Taiwan, the south seas of China, the Pacific Ocean, the northern hemisphere, the eastern hemisphere, the earth, the Solar System, the Milky Way, the Universe, the Space in the Back of an Old Lady’s Head
Scent: D.E.L.L. Dead Elephant Lingers Longer

My mom and dad are out on a lunch date with an old friend of my mom’s. They’ve been gone for a while now, and I got to sleep in until almost 1:00 pm – then my cousins ran into my room and jumped on me and shouted in my ear until I woke up. Even after that, I stayed lying down because I had a headache like the ones you only get in hangovers.
Then this one really annoying and creepy kid across the street walked into my room, even though he was both UNINVITED and UNWELCOME, and I was still half-asleep in my PAJAMAS!!! In fact, it was the second time he had done that during the week.
WTF IS HIS PROBLEM?
Shortly after the kid arrived, my aunt called us for lunch and he left for his house across the street. Yet him going back to his house is never a big relief. The “street” here is so narrow I could spit seeds from my front door and hit him in the face. Not that I’ve tried though, but it sounds like a good idea.

Found something splappers might like. I’ll take a picture later.

I’m leaving back for the U.S. today. The plane leaves around midnight, so I get to spend four hours in darkness on the plane all by myself before I start to get tired. At least I’m not going to feel as bad as I did on the plane ride here.

Listening to: Time is Running out, Muse
Mood: satisfyingly full
Thinking about: Lost, the time, the snack I just had
Location: my room in my grandpa’s house
Compute!: this flat thing… with no Net

Yep, it’s only been ten hours or so since I wrote that last post. Since then that typhoon (hurricane, if you don’t know your synonyms) made a triangle near the eastern coast and then finally decided to whip the living daylights out of the northern part of the island.
And oh yes, there were cats that survived the rain and wind last night. They were digging through my garbage and jumping off the roof with much liveliness. Also I made my sister cry because I made her think the room downstairs (which has a flimsy metal covering as an excuse for a roof) was being torn apart.
“Huh? What’s that? Oh, it definitely sounds like clothes flying through the air. And that must be the toys you left down there. Poor porcelain Snoopy!”
Of course it was still there in the morning, but she wouldn’t go back to sleep until after I brought up two bags of chips and some Kleenex for my running nose. The air conditioner was spitting out this sandy stuff along with cold air.

So now I’m waiting patiently until 11 o’ clock, and then I can watch the episodes of Lost I missed in the US.
“Channel 67 on AXN. Lost, Dahng-An.” For those of you that don’t know Mandarin, it translates into the Lost Files.
The last time I watched it here, it was the episode where Locke keeps yelling at people, “DON’T TELL ME WHAT I CAN’T DO!” One of the earlier ones, I believe. Michael gets gored by the warthog, and then Claire and all those other survivors gave a memorial service for the people who died. Jack also talks to that creepy black lady who thinks her Bernie or something is still alive.
They have CSI here too, on the same channel. "Whooo are you? Who Who! Who Who!"

Speaking of shows, I don’t know if anyone reading this knows what AzuMangaDiaoh is, but the show for it is on at channel 43 at 4:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, if not all weekdays.
Another show I’d like to mention is called “Let’s Talk in English!” which my grandpa faithfully watches everyday as his daily English lesson. Despite all the stuff he’s learned, he still pronounces my name like “Wee-Kee”. My two-year old cousin Duncan likes to call me that annoying mouse with the high voice. Do I look castrated to you? Is that even possible for a girl?
Apparently Chinese doesn’t have the “v” sound in it, so it gets replaced by the “w” and “m” sound. Suddenly the world ends when very sounds like wery and all the victories you’ve ever had turn into mictories.
OMFG!!
Going back to the show, it features a crew full of very non-oriental people, excepting two. Campbell, the Chinese guy from New York, and Thomas, a Taiwanese guy from Taiwan. Seeing as which, Thomas is cooler than Campbell because Thomas is what we call a “full Asian”.
Campbell! Like the soup!!
Anyhoo, everyone talks reaalllyyy slllooww and emphasizes everything so viewers can keep up, and on the show, stating the obvious is a natural and often occurrence.

(Two hours later, everyone is drinking coffee on the fourth floor.)
Jeff: Campbell, you two need to be back in Da Zhi by 5:00, right?
Campbell: That’s right.
Mia: (looks at her watch) It’s already 4 o’clock. Should we go?
Andrea: We can’t go before we take you to the top of 101.
Jeff: Do you think we have time?
Campbell: We do. It only takes 39 seconds to get to the top.
Mia: Wow! That’s fast! (the Calendar Phrase!)
Andrea: Taipei 101 has the fastest elevators in the world!
Jeff: Let’s go!
(They leave.)

Oh crap, Lost started five minutes ago. Gotta trade the laptop for the TV.

Listening to: Dakota, by the Stereophonics
Mood: feel like writing
Thinking about: writing, reading Harry Potter, the typhoon outside growing louder and louder interrupting my reading of Harry Potter
Location: the bed in my parents’ room, in my grandpa’s house
Computer: Dell Latitude D600 Laptop, and yep, no Internet

It’s pretty late at night for me, if you can tell. Though maybe for anybody in the states reading this, you’re having a nice noontime drinking cold lemonade and pina coladas.
Did you know they have pina colada flavored gum?
Anyway, I’m up late listening to this mix CD while the wind blows outside, whipping around leaves and maybe one of the many stray cats and dogs here in Taiwan. Tsk, tsk.

Let’s sing the funeral march for the dead.
(doo doo doo….)

While I was listening, I was also reading Harry Potter –
What was that? Something just crashed against the wall.
So I was reading Harry Potter Five, to prepare myself for the sixth book when I go back the US in a few days. It’s already out in bookstores near you and quite possibly me, but seeing as my capacity for reading Chinese is lower than kindergarten level, I’m going to have to bear with waiting another five days and nights and a 13 hour plane ride over the Pacific.
No you don’t know what’s like… Welcome to my life… Welcome to my life…
I remember I read the fifth HP in twelve hours the day I got it. Probably increased my near-sightedness by 20% or something. I really hope nobody gives me spoilers until I get my ass –
Something outside snapped. A tree? Someone’s spine? Good thing all the houses here are made of concrete and cement.
Until I get back to a Michiganian bookstore, buy the damn thing, and read it.
Sorry Kris. I mean no offense to your beloved.

Yesterday my grandpa called me fat. I wasn’t too surprised, because he was a little drunk and you know how drunks like to tell it how it is. It was his birthday, so we partied all night at a restaurant somewhere that served squid rings and lamb ribs. Poor sheep. Good thing I don’t eat veal.
There was wine and champagne, both of which my granddaddy had plenty of that night. Cake and karaoke, plus I and all my cousins had to put on a show for his big 81. Singing from my cousin Candy and little Duncan, Limbo from Terry and Robin, a little recorder from Ru-Chen and some more singing from Ru-Chen’s brother Ee-pung (plus his girlfriend), and then finally my sister did 5-second gymnastics as an intro to me and my Chinese yo-yo skillz. Oh yeah, make that cicada jump out its shell. Brrrrrip!
The karaoke machine also had Spanish, Japanese, and English songs, other than a whole ton of Mandarin ones, and when I was looking through the catalogue for something familiar other than Moon River and I Feel Good, I saw Stand By Me. Cool, huh? Nonetheless, I didn’t dare ask to hear it, because my aunt and her husband were up there shaking their stuff like two hippos and because I would be forced by all sorts of relatives to sing it too. Um, I can’t sing.

More stuff crashing outside. My mom, dad, and sister are in the living room watching some Korean drama about the royal kitchen and the plot to control the emperor. Oh god no! We have no noodles for the hunting party!! Why did that stupid girl have to put the pufferfish poison into the beef soup? WHY?

What will it take to show you that it’s not the life it seems? I’ve told you time and time again you sing the words but don’t know what it means to be a joke and look another line without a hook I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look I’m not okay I’m not okay I’m not okay you wear me out… forget about the dirty looks the photographs your boyfriend took you said you’d read me like a book but the pages are all torn and frayed…

I have got start posting pictures.

Wednesday, July 13, 2005 3:40 pm

Listening to: the Gorillaz
Mood: bored, really
Thinking about: thinking, friends, people, wtf I’m doing here
Location: Taichung, Taiwan. My Grandpa’s place
Computer: Dad’s laptop, which currently has no Internet connection (FYI, if I post this on my blog)

Waiters at the restaurant that we went to for mom’s birthday seem to hate me. Why? I wonder. I passed them quite a few times for getting to the stairs and back, and every time they would shoot me a glance that said, “Who the hell do you think you are, and what are you doing here?” I would reply with a look that said “fuck you.”
Of course, the fuck-you look did me no good, because I ended up being the last to get anything from the waiters when they came in to serve us. When one of them came in to serve the noodles, she started from the person next to me and went from there, carefully saving my bowl for last. It was especially clear when she served the half of the table that I was almost in, then everybody else in the other half, starting from the person on my other side. I was last to get the noodles, the last to get the soup, the last to get tea, and even the last to get one of those wet napkins. My napkin was also especially small, being rolled tighter than the others around the table.
The next time I walked to the bathroom, I was courteous enough to shoot the two waiters in the back with a range of double-deuces.

“Double Deuce!” says Strong Bad.

I should know better, though. I’ve been getting the evil eye from random people for the last couple of years now, from shopkeepers and waiters to old grandmas at the local Meijers.
Well, I’m not so sure about the last one.
Anyway, I noticed this when my family was in a gift shop in Virginia Beach last summer. I had a funny feeling that someone was watching me, and when I looked around, I saw the guy at the counter looking at me with a wary and cautious stare. It happened two more times at different shops, and I got the message. Something about me makes me look like I’m up to no good.

“People will think you are up to something…” says Snape as he cast the trio a suspicious eye.

No, I do NOT want a toaster

10 Ways to Tell If You're Chinese

2005-07-13T22:07:00.000-07:00

You unwrap Christmas gifts very carefully, so you can save and reuse the wrapping (and especially those bows) next year.

You only buy Christmas cards after Christmas, when they are 50% off.

When there is a sale on toilet paper, you buy 100 rolls and store them in your closet or in the
bedroom of an adult child who has moved out.

You have a vinyl table cloth on your kitchen table.

Your stove is covered with aluminum foil.

You use the dishwasher as a dish rack.

You keep a Thermos of hot water available at all times.

You eat all meals in the kitchen.

You save grocery bags, tin foil, and tin containers.

You use grocery bags to hold garbage.

~*~

I found a whole bunch of these on some page on some site on some server.
Since there are a whole bunch of them, I figured I'd post a few everyday.
You have no idea how true some of this crap is.

Oh yeah, that story is coming soon. Just gotta iron out some details, then rearrange. After looking at them another time, I'll scrap the whole thing and just write another story for you.
bi-bi.

Story

2005-07-01T03:54:00.000-07:00

I feel like writing a story. Ideas, ideas, ideas. What should I do?

The Extra Piece. Character finds extra piece in puzzle box after puzzle is completed. It fits perfectly in the place that another is already in, but the only difference is the image on the piece.

WAIT!

Extra Pieces. Character finds extra pieces still in the puzzle box after the puzzle is completed, and all fit into the same place. Putting different ones in create changes in reality. Puzzle is a family portrait.

WAIT!

Those might take too long. Something short, really short.

The Faeries of Gaiastopolis. Faeries in tutus and clouds of glitter flitting around their chocolate and candy cane castles in Gaiastopalalala. Volcano. Boom. Dead.

Hey, that doesn't sound half bad. Like this one track on my Gorillaz CD. It looks easy enough to write, and if you condense it down to the essentials, what you get is pretty much that summary I just wrote.
If it turns into a bestselling novel, I am so putting that on the back cover.

Insanely Jealous

2005-06-25T08:20:00.000-07:00

Big, Empty, Post, HEEHEE

Have you ever noticed how crappy it feels when somebody can do something or has something or even knows something that you can't or don't? There's supposed a fine line between jealousy and envy, supposedly, but I always seem to jump straight over the envy section high dive into jealousy.
Maybe it's just because I think I can do everything. But I can't, and I know that. Even so, when I think I am pretty good at something and suddenly get shown up by someone (that !@#$%) I feel like choking that person to death and seeing the breath slide out of their eyes, those dull eyes.
But I also have problems with handling it, as you can see by my murderous and evil thoughts. I remember not long ago that I saw one of my friends (my best friend at that time) hanging out with the popular people, laughing, joking, flirting. Wasn't it just the other day (maybe last month) that we were watching that particular group, and mocking their ways with a made-up virus called "flirtacoccus"? Wasn't it just the other day that we talked about how dumb and fake they were?
And there she went, cheering on one of the school's royalty like a private cheerleader during gym, totally ignoring me when I called to her. And when she did talk to me, it was when we had to, or if we there was no one "important" around. It finally struck me that she had wanted to be popular all along. I was an afterthought, just taken granted for.
So I left her. Stopped hanging out with her. Dropped that girl like cold turkey. It hurt of course, but I knew it would have been worse if I let her be the one do the dropping. It's pathetic, too, to keep clinging. At the end of the year, I could barely bring myself to write "Have a good summer" in her yearbook. Her message on mine had even less hints of friendship.
This is getting off track. Back to jealousy.
So yeah, if I see a stranger maybe my age or what, and see them draw or write or - I'm such a nerd - score higher on a test. They get attention attention attention, and my work becomes second-rate. The words "Well, yours is good too..." are the most frustrating things I've heard, though I like to make the impression that I am an absolutely humble person.
Then there's all the crap I know I can't do, like computer programming and math and sports, for god's sake. I keep thinking, I could do that, maybe if I took classes or practiced. Now that I think about it, that's really more envy than jealousy.
That girl's name was Sam.

My Eye...

2005-05-20T01:06:00.000-07:00

I'm here today to give a shout out to all those with contact lenses! Just imagine I'm Martin Luther King Jr. at a public rally or something. You know, the slow, powerful voice that makes it sound like a sermon or preach or something.
HAVE YOU EVER WORN CONTACTS BEFORE?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO WEAR THEM?
YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL!
YOU HAVE TO BE CLEAN!
YOU HAVE TO WASH YOUR HANDS!
EVERYTIME!
YOU HAVE TO TOUCH YOUR EYE!
AND NOW, WE REMEMBER THOSE WHO COULDN'T DO THAT, THE ONES WHO FELL VICTIM TO THEIR FORGETFULNESS AND UNCLEANLINESS, THE ONES WHO LOST SOMETHING TO WEAR THEIR CONTACTS!
Okay, I'm done.
Anyway, if you want to know, my left cornea has this scratch on it, and judging by the doctor's attitude when she saw it, (and what she said) it's really big. The first one I saw thought it was a corneal ulcer. That's how bad it was.
Wait a minute, how could the first one have misdiagnosed a scratch for an ulcer? That doesn't sound good, because what if she had given me the medication for it even though it was the wrong thing?
Oh no!!!
Haha, SNL. Andy: "OHHH NOOOOOO!!!!"
But seriously, it might have made my eye all wonky and crap.
Well anyway, it looks like it happened when I tried to put in a contact or something, or happened cause of the many times I fell asleep in them. BUT I DID NOT GO TO SLEEP IN THEM! Also, I don't practice perfect hygiene, but it's not like I'm the kind of person who brushes teeth once a week or takes a shower once a month. I wash my hands, but I can get lazy sometimes and just do a quick rinse instead of the whole soap deal.
Now I have to wear my glasses for the next 2 weeks or so and look like a nerd.

2005-05-04T00:40:00.000-07:00

Who is this mysterious Poet?
You say you are Murphy's, and certainly show it.
Judging by the apostrophe and the "s" at the end,
you're a place or a thing that talks to my friend.
Murphy's, maybe, is nice little bar,
where buddies get drunk and then crash their car?
Oops, that was uncalled for, I don't even know you.
I just think in branches, and that is the truth.
Speaking of branches, I see a big tree,
it's quite old and scary and it reminds me,
of the time when there was no more juice in the kitchen,
and I was thirsty so I got to bitchin',
about how I would hate a world of no juice,
constant milkshakes give you a caboose.
The words that I type go clickety-clack,
and suddenly I remember the first time I... clap?
Well, it just proves I suck at this thing,
when you make up the rhyme and just start to sing,
words strung like beads by a very dumb person,
with no sense of pattern, much less emotion.
So Murphy's, now tell me, what is "repent"?
I'm curious, and my time not well spent.
12:37 AM

That's a poem I wrote as a reply for my friends' blog.
It's at http://twoidiotsandablog.blogspot.com/
It's the one titled "Yayyy!" on May 3, 2005.
Anyways, I wrote it cuz everyone was writing poems, and I felt left out. Also, someone named Murphy's posted a poem, so I did a "return" poem, whateveryoucallit.
I just posted it on here because I'm bored, and I think it's so stupid, it's great...

Well, almost anyway.
It's late.
I need a shower.
My showers usually take 20-60 minutes.
I'm listening to the radio.
This old song from the 80's is on.
"I don't want to talk about it,
how you broke this old heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here won't you listen to my heart?"
I like this song.
Great.
Now I'm tired and depressed.
Stupid IDP.

Hey, did you hear that they think Paula is rigging the American Idol contest? She was like, having an affair with one of the contestants or something. I swear that in the second season, Simon was having an affair with Carmen Rasmusen. He actually supported her, even though she sucked.

Things I see in front of me:
Headphones
Dictionary
Camera
Colored Pencils
Notebook
Computer Monitor

Okay, it's actually 4:00 am now.

I got the My Chemical Romance CD!!!
Someone burned it for me, and I am
F***ING HAPPY
YEE-HAW!!
Stupid track 13 (I Never Told You What I Do for a Living) won't go onto my computer.
"Windows Media Player cannot read this..."
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, everybody!!
I haven't heard their first album, though. It's called "I Gave You My Bullets You Gave Me Your Love." Heard it's darker and less pop-ish. Well, sounds good, but I don't think I know anybody that owns it.
Goddang it.

Here's a piece of life pie:
(on the phone)
K: Oh, this is part of Yuki's letter that she sent me last year. I don't know what it means, though.
V: Okay, what does it say?
K: Um, it goes like, "Violin, Law-re-jin-soy-aunce"
V: What?
K: I don't know, it's the first line of her letter!
V: Okay, what's that last one?
K: Oh, it's the word "exposition"
V: No, not the vocab words, Yuki's letter.
K: Uh, "rej-oi-ni-sence"...?
V: Wait. Spell it out.
K: Okay. "R-E-J-O-I-C-I-S-A-N-C-E"
V: Um, Violin...Law... Rejoicens... OH! It's La Rejoicisance (however you spell it), a piece they played in Orchestra last year!
K: Oh, no wonder!
V: Yeah, no wonder.
K: Well, I couldn't tell...
V: Cause you thought it was "re-jin-soy-ants"
K: Yeah, yeah. Okay, read back those vocab words so I know which ones you have.

Hey, ho, Trick or Treat!

Just looking at some older Homestar stuff, which right now is that Halloween one called, "The House That Gave Sucky Treats".
Marizipan is dressed up like... what's the name again?
Joey Ramone... From the Ramones, I guess. They're pretty cool, but that one song keeps getting played over and over again in TV commercials. Tsk, tsk.

Washed the car the other day. My sister kept spraying me "accidentally".
Have you ever noticed, that when bird crap gets on your window, it sprays into a splash shape? But when it lands anywhere else besides the window, it lands in a nice, neat, pile of doo.
They're like, intentionally trying to get our car windows dirty. Evil birds.
Pecking and pooping everywhere.

Homestar: That's bupkis!

They killed off Boone.
They actually killed off Boone.
I think this is the result of some whacked up conspiracy where no one is safe. The Government did it! This is all Bush's fault! Boone was too cool for him, or found out about some secret governmentmilitaryCIAterroristcoffee plan and was ordered to be put to death in some way! And they chose the media, so they paid Lost to kill him off! Paid big, big bucks! $$$$$!
THERE WAS NO RATIONAL REASON FOR ABC TO DO THAT.

Okay, forgive me for my words. They were quick, sudden, and anti-Republican.
I'm sorry.
*sobs*
But it's not like I don't hate Bush.
*sob, sob, sob*

Man, I want to see that movie sooo bad. Also, I've heard that the comic series is pretty awesome too. Smashing, some people might say.
Tsk, tsk, you Brits.
Wait, does that mean that something is so cool that it squashes you into a pulp?
Anyway, I just have to see the movie (can't say its name anymore, I'm tired of typing it).
I mean, first of all, it's so star-studded; featuring people like Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett, Brittany Wood, and Mickey Rourke.
Then it's got an interesting concept, with three stories going at the same time. Supposedly the story as a whole is "empty", but screw what the paper says. Forget you, here are some more good points about it.
-gory
-bloody
-violent
-based off a comic book
-shot like one, too

And today I just saw that my very own teacher bought the first book in the series.
Weird, or what?

Hey, you know the movie Stand By Me?
What's funny is that the fat kid, Vern, is now tall and skinny. The actors name is Jerry O'Connel, and you can see him Kangaroo Jack.
Too bad River Phoenix is dead. Druggies die too soon for their own good.

What to say, what to say?

So, hello everybody. This is my first post. Um, hi. Yeah.

I'm supposed to be doing my homework right now, and obviously I'm not.
Right now I don't really have an obsession with anything like the great bloggers do.
Like with my friend moobaggins, who is obsessed with Lord of the Rings, Lost, and Dominic Mohnagan. You can check out her blog for some fun times, or whatever. But for now, some random stuff from me.
