Things I might not have mentioned:
- I donated blood for the second time ever on Wednesday afternoon!
- My finals are mostly next week instead of during finals week.
- The reason for this is because I’m going to be in Washington D.C. for the first half of finals week.
Elizabeth and I talked for over an hour last night, and we just talked for 50 minutes. It’s so strange how we can understand each other and sometimes when she says things it sounds exactly like something I would say. Or the feeling is exactly the same as mine. Luckily we know each other and have each other… or I would swear like I’m a lone crazy freak with stupid thoughts.
On a different note, I get some emails about L.A. Times articles (and reading some articles today made me wish I actually read the newspaper, even though certain parts make me roll my eyes at how pretentious the writers are). So, I just read an article titled, “A deadly clash of emotions before Oxnard shooting.” It caught my attention because Oxnard is one hour south of Santa Barbara.
It annoyed me how right away they credited the 14-year old boy accused of shooting Larry to his messed up family life, claiming it’s the “cycle of violence.” Maybe I’m upset because I take this personally or feel as though I can relate to the violence… (long story, don’t ask). Lots of people don’t grow up in happy two-parent homes and they turn out alright without killing anyone. Ugh, maybe I’m just annoyed and upset because it almost feels like they’re accusing me of being capable of perpetuating this so-called cycle. ): Argh.
The world is so messed up.
Free advertisement. There’s a site called RememberTheMilk.Com which lets you make to-do lists, and it is also accessible on the iPhone albeit for a limited time (15 days) unless you “Go Pro” a.k.a. PAY, and Google Calendar and etc. I recently got an account and in an effort to minimize my post-its usage I started using it a bit. Seriously, my post-its are everywhere… and then I don’t even read them again later because they’re all spread out. The reason I mention this site is because I read up on it while voting for the Webware 100 Awards 2008, part of CNET. (: Yes… more free advertisement. *shrugs*
After listening to *ahem* the theme song of Sailor Moon Live (as in, with real live actors) I got into asian-mode. Friday night I watched the last 4 episodes of Tokyo Juliet. Such a cheesy and really bad asian drama, I will admit, but I loved it nonetheless. Perhaps that has to do with Wu Zun/Chun being in it. Haha. Don’t know him? Picture time!
He is NOT gay, honest. Just another pretty Asian boy. Anyway, I typically go through 1-month at a time Asian phases, usually sparked by a friend… or a song. Hm, as my love for Asian-y goodness has been revived I am taking this opportunity to watch another drama. I have Nobuta wo Produce on my PC, and even though I have no clue what it’s about I heard it’s good (but probably not one of the classic unforgettable dramas, usually Korean).
Something I forgot to mention is that a little bit less than a year ago I wrote myself a letter to be delivered (by email) to my inbox on my birthday. It was so surprising I almost didn’t recognize it considering the short length and vagueness, but as I gathered context clues I realized what it was about and I was overjoyed by what I read.
The email mentioned a problem I had been struggling with for some years… and I was just so very happy knowing it no longer exists! Instead, another problem has replaced it, but it certainly isn’t quite as serious. Happy stuff. Sorry I’m being so vague and all that, but I can’t just reveal things like this (even on my blog or even to myself in an email).
Jamba Juice in hand and the day bright, things are looking good. Even if it doesn’t feel that way. It’s amazing how relaxed I always feel at The Hub/The UCen.
