Spring quarter is beautiful.
My classes:
- Swimming
- Continental Philosophy
- Philosophy of Freedom/Determinism
- Advanced Philosophy of Mind
- Psychopathology
I login only to update my plugins because it irks me when it says something like 7 plugins need updates. Sometimes I’ll feel like blogging, but usually I’m so far away from my computer the words and thoughts aren’t captured. They’re only relevant for so long.
Being 20 is the best thing ever. Last night I made an apple pie. Friends and I decided to get high a few times (lmao omfg let’s not discuss). I love the sun. I have new hobbies. Life is wonderful. Living in a beach town is refreshing.
There is so much to appreciate. (:
I’ll try to keep this updated, at least for my sake.

So I have an 8 page paper due tomorrow at 11. But really I have to be done by 8 because that’s the time I have to get ready, eat breakfast, and I also think I’m describing all this to procrastinate on writing said essay.
- Finish that ridiculously stupid third book in the Twilight series. It’s written so poorly I’ve put it off for over a month… two months, maybe? Possibly more… It’s so awful there is no fuhreaking way I’m reading the fourth book unless there’s a major cliffhanger. But let’s get real… everyone knows what happens in the fourth book.
- Read Wuthering Heights. I’ve been dying to read this since I got it a quick minute ago.
- Read Eros!! I was totally wanting this book since they featured it in an episode of The L Word. And it’s philosophical, too. Total love.
- Get back into Aelyria… it’s been like 4 months. How the heck does time fly??
- Post on Adylheim for that cute little kid named Steven.
- Catch up on box-office hits I haven’t been able to go out and watch.
- Wash the motherfucking dishes. Seriously, it’s becoming an issue. Hahahahahahaha.
- Watch The L Word.
- Make fun colored lipglosses with pigments and v.
Oh, fuck. I accidentally recorded 10,000 B.C. in Spanish. FUUUUUCK… well I guess that just means that while it plays in the background I’ll be more focused on my essay… OR trying harder to pay attention to the movie to hear what they’re saying. What the hell are “casadores”?
Ahhhh… OKAY ESSAY TIME!!!!

I’ve tried starting entries lately and then I run out of time and have to leave or something… not sure. Anyway, I’m forcing myself to sit down and have a real talk with myself. Hahaha.
My birthday was FUNFUNFUN! Rona and I spent the day together in Solvang increasing our chances for diabetes, and then went out to dinner with all my college-y friends. (: [Hm, made me think how I'm not talking to my high-school peeps as much anymore!!! :/ ] Anyway, I’m 20… it’s awesome… yadda yadda. I hate updating on stuff that passed a while back. Playing catch-up isn’t my favorite game to play.
Monday, I got ridiculously sick. Ugh. I’m still sick for that matter. Grrr… it sucks! There were a few days I thought death was upon me forreal yo. It was like I turned 80 not 20. Hahaha.
Since I’ve been stuck in the apartment throwing tissue paper left and right, Rona and I decided to make a skit and record it. Well, it was very improv and it’s way stupid… but we quickly edited it and we’re going to put it on facebook. -_-; Just thinking about it is really embarrassing. We purposedly edited really dumb to make it more funny… Oh geez.
Anyway, and today I pretended to be Jewish. Hahaha… we went to Sabbat at the nearby Synagogue. We went to the Conservative service just because it was straight from the book and I wouldn’t need to sing anything (like in the Reform service). Hahaha… surprisingly translated Hebrew is really easy to pronounce so it was fun! And there was a dinner afterward~~ which uhm… was amazing! The challah and matza balls were great, and Rona knew I would like them. Though by the end I was way too full. And aghhh…. I love fried tofu so much… it’s almost awkward.
Ok! Mandatory blog over. Back to playing videogames w/ Rony. (Aww… it’s going to be so sad not being roommates next year… but it’s okay, I’ll have fun with Sandy… hahahaha)

Note to self: Make blog post for Elizabeth regarding morality and beliefs.
Lolol… so the title comes from one of Rona’s slip-ups. Since she makes fun of me all the time when I say something not to her liking (video, wolf, etc.) I decided to laugh about it. She makes me happy~~
I’m currently supposed to write a rough-draft of an original argument. The problem is that the essay’s topic is on ME. Ugh. I cannot write three pages on one of my personal traits, and demonstrate why that characterizes me. Three pages is too much. Blah. So to make it interesting, since we need two outside sources, I’m thinking of describing how I’m happy using Aristotle’s definition of happiness. Lol… if I can make it about philosophy I will! Otherwise ugh… this is not an assignment I’m looking forward to writing. Tyler provided us with an article so we could use that and pick between being like Athenians or Visigoths… and so far I’ve always opted for the choice of picking some outside article to write my essays. Not this time though. I prefer writing analyses or critiques not original arguments.
This thing is due at midnight… alkfjlsfjlsjdf. What the hell. =\ At least I currently have a 99% in the class, though. *shrugs* Writing in stream-of-consciousness for about 10 minutes sometimes helps to get the writing process kick-started. I don’t really believe that, but I haven’t really been blogging so there ya go.
To keep myself happy I’ve been singing along to the Repo! soundtrack. Hahaha… but it’s sort of distracting, too.
Oh yeahhh… this is just a rough draft! I need to remember that. Though I do always write the entirety of my essay the first go-round so that for the final I just edit. Writing 2 sucks! I hate that UCSB doesn’t let you test out of it.
This weekend ought to be pretty fun, though, with me turning 20 and all that!
Okkk, back to writing ze essay~!!

Alright I have to start off by saying that the veganism did not stick. More and more I found myself disagreeing with the vegan ideology. And so I hit it and quit it.
Last weekend at The Water Grill was simply amazing!! For appetizers we had two different kind of oysters, and both were delicious! I didn’t really have a preference… they were just good! (I tried remember what kind of oysters they were but it’s been a while, it’s almost 3 in the morning and I can barely type…) And the bread was perfectttt. I could just like live off of bread, that’s how much I love it, so even though it may seem insignificant it’s very important to me to like my bread. Kay, and then for my first course I had White Chowder with Manila Clams, Weiser Farm Potatoes, and Niman Ranch Applewood Smoked Bacon. Deeeelicious! It was so creamy and flavorful; I loved it. Then for a main course I had Roasted Free Range Jidori Chicken Breast. Gooood stuff! And very seafood/meat oriented. If I was there at a really nice restaurant I might as well have enjoyed… hahaha.
Wicked was so entertaining and I really loved it. We sat in the orchestra section, near the stage, but not too close that you can’t see well. It was perfect! Oh goodness, I loved the songs and the storyline. (: Galinda was definitely my favorite just because she was so DARN cuuuute. For those that haven’t heard of Wicked, it was a musical playing at the Pantages theatre for quite a while, and it’s about the “Wicked Witch of the West” from The Wizard of Oz. It was the nicest thing and I’m so appreciative that I was able to go!
Anyway, I am back at my apartment in Santa Barbara by my college campus and let me tell you… even though I only have classes on two days of the week the days are jam-packed with reading and homework. It’s really very stressful… but at least I have four-day weekends to sort of catch up on reading I’m not able to complete during the week. But for sure I am ON IT with the reading… The stuff is really interesting. I’ll write an entire post on my classes soon though since I looove them so freaking much. (:
Alright tonight (or since it’s 3am, last night) my friends and I went to a semi-formal queer party at The Hub, on campus. I loooooved it! Sandy and I danced most of the time but other times I just mingled and danced with some queer boys or lesbians… lol. All I have to say is that a queer boy totally grabbed my vagina while we were dancing hahahaha… (*cough*SKYLAR*cough*). I totally know him… and geeeez he got a little too wild lmao… boy goes down all the way to the fucking floor. Hahaha. And then I danced with a tooon of other gay guys and some girls… including one girl named Carmen (the cutest Asian girl with a boy haircut), who took it upon herself to kiss me. lol. What a darn cutie. But blah… then I found out she’s slept with a friend of mine and then I was like UGH oh hell no. But anyway, besides that it was just so amazingly fun. I totally freak danced, which was a total first for me. It felt like everyone on the dance floor was just sexing it up with clothes on. xD But it was fun regardless so who cares! Ahhhh but I know I am going to be ridiculously sore later today… boooo. -_-;
Anyway, fun times!!!!! (: Ahhh and I went shopping yesterday, too. UGHHH I have a serious shopping addiction. It needs to be fixed, or I need to learn some self-control. Lol… ay.
Goodnight!!!!!!
