Hoy-a

I was just reading the See paper in hopes of finding this elusive Mad Hatters Ball that i heard about from T. Hohoho sounds pretty neat-o, i actually kinda wanna go 2 this (and since i said it it prolly means i will) yahooo. Me and the ladies from NY went out 4 lunch today at a japanese restaurant to reminisce....*siiiigh* i miss NY too you guys. hahah. Then i went 2 the ID shop in hopes of biscuiting my children's stool together but poor kenny was swamped (w/ this one girl actually) and he didn't have time 2 show me how 2 use the biscuit machine till like....5 mintues before class. *sob sob*.... sooo i brought all my pieces home to do i dont know what. Aaaaarg mateys. Then i went 2 see ....um... 'failure to launch' w/ Ls. We *were* gonna see ultraviolet but she wanted 2 go see the former. eeh it was actually pretty decent, this is the first movie i've seen w/ Matthew Mc..mc...mccona... you know who. Hes actually quite good looking, and... i want 2 say i think hes naturally athletic, because he sure does look that way.... Did i mention to you guys that when Tracy and Nicole went 2 Vanny for reading week they seen Michael Rosenbaum? THOSE LUCKY BASTARDS. they saw sexy lexy....sob sob. I just learned an acronym that i saw from SEE. DTMFA. (dump that mother fucker already) Hohoho i thought that was priceless. Oh another thing i wanted 2 briefly mention was Stockholm Syndrome. I always thought there was something kinda cute about that. (although up until now i always thought that it was the captor that felt drawn 2 the victim not the other way around) but still its equally as captivating....le sigh. Anyways i should go 2 bread now so that i can wake up and go 2 work 2morrow w/o looking half dead. eeeeerg aaaaarg

near death like state of being

HOY-ho, its mass blog entry time. yaaaaaah.
Dwear Mne, I was so sick yesterday. My dummy of a brofer caught a cold, and he was in and out of my room (TAKING A NAP IN MY BED....) and i ended up catching his cold (dirty son of a....) well actually i just got a wicked sore throat, and i didn't want it 2 get worse so i like, ran 2 save ons and bought medicine and halls, and rubbed vicks vapo-rub all over my bod-ay. my sore throat didn't escalate to anything worse really but i got one hell of a headache on Wednesday right before heading to des. class. Hoy seriously i dont think i've ever had such a throbbing headache before (i was worried i was going to cut off something important or pass out..hahah...bad bad) But nothing happened. However i got home and felt really sick and didn't eat dinner and i tried going 2 bread early but i got really hot under the covers and when i kicked them off i felt really cold. sooo i might have also had a fever too. heh heh. Boy was i sick. Haaah i feel really silly (hey, being sick makes you hallucinate) but while i was in bed i was imagining that it was going to be my last day on earth, and i was kinda scared to fall asleep.....BUT as you can see i'm here writing this blog entry so....'i made it!' haaaaaaar....
Anyways, there is a main reason for this entry today. When i was in NY i realized that me and Ls had a lot in common that i never would have imagined. And she actually really surprised me in the typer of person she is. Well, she has a twin sister (that surprised me because i always think having a twin is really special) and one night the 4 of us girls were just sitting around talking. And we got on the topic of family or something, and Ls told us this story that happened like...several months ago, and i felt it really hit close to home. Anyways, Ls told us that her twin had attempted to commit suicide. She said that she had just walked in to check up on her sister and found her all pale and practically unconscious on her bed. And obviously Ls was really scared and called her family for help, but her dad was really skeptical and didn't want 2 take her 2 the hospital. But thankfully alot of Ls's relatives are in med school and they kept making her drink water and stuff, but eventually her dad finally took her 2 emergency. They had 2 make her drink this...um...charcoal watery stuff as i believe Ls called it, to induce vommiting. And obviously it must taste gross and not wanting 2 drink it. But Ls sat there and held her sisters hand and talked to her till like 6AM just getting her 2 drink the water. Later Ls told us that she was really angry w/ herself because she had walked in on her sister an hour before the whole escapade started and she thought her sister was acting a little weird but didn't think much of it. And she was like *....if i had known and tried 2 talk 2 her then she probably wouldn't have done what she did....* (Her sister is okay right now btw.) But what i found really scary is the stuff Ls told us later. She said that she knew that her sister had problems before this incident happened. She said that at like....11-12-ish her sister stopped taking/getting pictures taken of herself, and she also started like....hurting herself. And when Ls asked her why she did that she said somthing like 'oh because it feels comforting....' And her description of her sister sent a chill up my spine. Because....well there was a period of time where i constantly felt that way, and the way she was describing her sister reminded me of myself. I used to (still do kinda) hate taking pictures of myself or w/ other people because i always felt that i took really bad pictures and that i was really ugly. And actually i dont like looking at pictures of myself from the past because i still see myself as really ugly when compared to all my friends. Same thing goes w/ looking in a mirror too. When i first moved out to edmonton i was actually kind of scared for myself because i did some scary stuff too. My brother used to come home really late from class sometimes therefore i'd be home by myself. every so often i would always get really really upset over something and would start crying and screaming really really hard and i would seriously dig my nails into my palms so hard i'd get welts the next day....this one time i took a serrated knife into the bathroom w/ me and i started 2 run in over my wrist. Like gently at first, and then i started thinking about all the stuff i didn't like about myself. and the more i thought, the more angry i got and the harder i started 2 run the knife across my wrists. It probably must've hurt like hell but at that time it didn't matter because honestly i think the mental anguish was 10X worse than the physical pain. huurg, suicide is so stupid, and i bet half the reasons ppl commit suicide are because of dumb superficial reasons. The world is a pretty shitty place i think, and when someone is feeling a bit depressed, everything can turn against them. I think i thought to much in the past. I cared way too much about what others thought of me and didn't care about myself....god. i dont know how many times i must've thought of suicide when i was 17. I think, though, that one of the main reasons i'm still here today though is because of my family. I mean i dont think any of them knew what i was going through at the time (because i wasn't completely depressed all the time, but everyonce in awhile) but, i still really loved my family and the close friends that i had. And i knew from experience what it felt like when a friend or loved one hurt your feelings or has ever made you cry. And... well i never ever wanted to be the source of that pain or feeling. And, pretty much i knew that if i ever died that way i'd cause a lot of saddness to my loved ones, and that was the last thing that i ever wanted to do.....
Wow. It feels really good getting that out every so often. I mean i dont do that stuff anymore, but when Ls told us that story in NY i was really really quiet, and i thought of telling them about my experience to but....sigh i didnt. I think i felt there was too many ppl there at the time. If it was just me and Ls or me and C maybe i would have. But we'll never know now will we. siiiigh. Anyways, thats the story that i've been wanting 2 put down in words since the night Ls told us that story. ay, its time for bread now okey. cheerio.

distant memories of new york.

aaah heres the last day i spent in NY, along w/ all the other snipits that i remember happening just dont recall when.....
Sunday was pretty much a travel day minus the getting up at 3AM part. The ladies all went 2 get their nails done and H got his hair cut. Then we ate one last breakfast/lunch in NY and called it a day. Siiigh. The flight back was *horrible* we had 2 make a stop over in Montana to fuel up, and i didn't get back home till ~1 30AM (flight was supposed 2 get in at 10 30PM). didn't make it any better that no one came 2 pick me up....sob sob. and that was the end of New York. I felt that it was an awesome trip though so it was all good. We did so much stuff and i'm super glad. I forget wat day but we say Beauty & the Beast on broadway. It was pretty good. I thought Lumiere stole the show, and i bought a beast doll. haha i shoulda bought lumiere but i didn't see him till after i bought beast. oh right, on the first day in NY i passed by the waldorf astoria. It holds a special place in my heard from the movie *coming to america* w/ eddie murphy and arsenio hall. sigh.... The waldorf astoria is a super super super fancy hotel, and from the picture/ad that i seen on the outside of the building, the inside must be F 'in amazing. Hahah. On the first day i also saw my first 'Kinko's'. I heard dane cook say kinko's all the time and i'm like *wut the hell is kinkos?' hahah apparenlty its not as sick as it sounds. Kinko's is apparently another name for FedEx.... haha who'd have knew. I also forgot 2 say that on saturday night after dinner we ran into some problems getting home. The train stations were starting 2 close down and everyone was low on cash. Not to mention the ticket dispensing machine stopped taking credit cards and bills, which is what practically everyone had. Eventually we just bought 2 tickets and everyone squished into the stalls to get through. Hahaha, liek i told everyone, a trip isnt a trip unless something goes awry. I thought it was fun. hahah..... aaaaah i love you new york. And that'll be it for today. I still have one more entry/anecdote to tell you guys. Its regarding something that happened one night when all us ladies were gossiping and sharing stories. I've been wanting 2 write about it for a really really long time now....

Fare thee well!

I just realized how un-appetizingly long the previous post was so i cut down it in half and pasted the other half in a new post. It doens't seem that menacing now does it? hahah. Enjoy.
*Thursday February 23rd. We were supposed 2 go the the statue of liberty this day but all the tickets 2 the statue were sold out. So corinna the great called and reserved some tix for the next day. (i was/and still am kinda/ worried because they took so much of my information) Anyhoo, we went and walked around the Time Warner Centre and went to HUGO BOSS where we encountered the nicest/ funniest salesman i have ever met before. i love new york. haha. We were gonna go 2 the Empire State Building but by the time someone mentioned it the sun was already setting and we decided 2 go tomorrow. All the girls decided we wanted 2 walk around SOHO somemore so we did. We got attracted by this shiny sparkly store that sold everything accessories. Cept since im allergic 2 most of that stuff i started 2 get a little itchy when i walked in...haha jkjk. i managed 2 find a bauble necklace that i thought was pretty and a star necklace for I, that if i wasn't allergic 2, i would have bought for myself....sigh. I *think* that we went 2 eat at a cheesy chinese restaurant on thursday. The funny thing is our bill at the chinese restaurant including tip was less than the total tip that we had 2 give our server at ninja new york. aaaah funny.
*Friday February 24th. I was actually quite surprised that i hadn't passed out from lack of sleep yet because everyday that i had been in NY so far i slept late (3AM-ish) and woke up early (7 45-8 00) Anyhoo, we took a ferry to the statue of liberty (shes a lot more atomic green than i expected) It was pretty neat i'll say but i was a little dissapointed because we only got 2 go as high as the pedestal. I think if you paid more you could go up 2 her crown or something. It was super super windy that day and being high off ground in the middle of the ocean in skirts wasn't the greatest idea. Fun yet silly. We almost missed the last ferry of the island, but thank goodness we didn't. I was so happy that this day turned out really well. We made it to the Empire State Building, and despite the super long line up we still made it in time to see the sunset. It was soooo amazing how the cityscape practically went from color to black in like 30 mintues. Amaaaazing. Um...after that we went back 2 the Y and put some proper clothes on and then went 2 eat at another cafe. oh no wait i lied. we went to eat at japanese restaurant #3. Their appetizers were eggsalent and i am in heart w/ their Gobo Chips (strips of deepfried eggplant w/ this sexy awesome cod roe, spicy mayo dip....drooool) My main course wasn't that great. I ordered a tekka don (tuna on rice) w/ this yam puree. which i thought was going to be really tasty....turns out yam was this weird yam, and the puree was *extremely* cold and slimy. *shudder*, i thought if i stirred up the purree and rice together it would neutralize the taste...boy was i wrong. hahaha. aaaah. (ps. have i ever mentioned that i never get tired of japanese food, haha)
*Saturday February 25th. This was our last day in NY and also our *free day*. Me, R and H walked around 5th....or was it 6th ave some, and went 2 the disney store, this specialty chocolate store, and the Tiffany store. Dear lord the jewelry in that store is so expensive. (the 1st floor diamond section anyways) a single pair of earrings was $3900USD. One earring alone could have paid for a semester of tuition for me. good lord. The tension between R & H was starting 2 peak at an unbelieve able high and i had absolutely no idea what do to. hoya. We met th rest of the gang at SOHO again and i finally made it to the ellusive Pearl River Market that claire had been telling me so greatly about. I think i maxed out my credit card there. hahah. That was pretty much it for that day. Oh for dinner we met H's friends and ate at this korean restaurant that, although nice looking wasn't that great. My friends told me it was quite expensive and i'll agree that the service was bad. Ho hum... I still have some things i remember doing but can't see m2 remember the proper dates so i'll write up another blog w/ all the descrepancies another day. bye bye folks!

The Inbetween

Boy have i slacked off or what, i still haven't finished my NewYork Update. HOY. I've probably completely forgotten everythingby now.... lets see how much else i can remember....HOHOH i just had the greatest idea, i can look at all my pictures and use them as a date reference 2 what i did that was interesting!!! BRILLIANT IDEA, mwa hahahaha....
*Monday February 20th. We went to the Museum of Modern Art and i'll have 2 say that i was probably a little dissapointed w/ this one because i was expecting the MoMa to be extravagant. (the way i felt about the Met) But it was pretty okay i think. We went 2 eat at our first of three Japanese restaurants this day for lunch. It was pretty good i think. Oh except that when we got there we got this table w/ a couch at the head, and the girls were (funny cuz i dont refer 2 myself as a girl) but they were fighting over who got 2 sit on the couch, UNTIL this thumbnail sized bug crawled out and onto the armrest. Everybody simultaneously got up and moved away from the bug. Um..., we all ordered bento's and i added on a spicy tuna (i have made it a new thing of mine to try out the spicy tuna in every japanese restaurant i go to....assuming they have one) Hahaha. Well after the MoMa i think we walked around Times Square....again. hahah and Sephora probably. I think somewhere along these few days i bought some clothes and random stuff and H&M, and the Billabong store in times square. sigh, i heart you new york, really i do.
*Tuesday February 21st. We went to the Graffiti/Mural tour in Brooklyn, which i was really looking forward too because i thought it was a walking tour and we'd get 2 see all sorts of graffiti. However it was a bus ride tour and i fell asleep through a good 1/2 of it. I loved all of the graffiti work we saw but i thought the murals weren't that interesting. Aaaaanywhoo, after the tour we went and walked around SOHO for a bit i think and went 2 the Strand Bookstore were i bought some fashion/design books and a addams family book for jess which i woldn't have mind keeping for myself but, oooh well. After that we went and walked around SOHO for a bit and i dont remember what stores we went 2 but...yeah...we did that. Hahah. I dont remember what we ate for dinner that night so it was probably some cafe food.
*Wednesday February 22nd. This was the last day that we ever saw Dick and co. till departure day. Hahah, i feel kinda bad but...aaah what can you do. We went 2 some small random galleries in SOHO again and i seen a pair of the cutest little dogs ever in a gallery. (weird cuz i usually dotn like small dogs) But anyways, we split up during lunch and walked SOHO somemore. I dont exactly remember what we did but....yeah spent some money probably. Hoh (picture reference) we followed henry around some and went 2 the Brooklyn Bridge, which i'll have 2 say after looking at my pictures, is really pretty. We walked around Brooklyn that day i think, and in the evening we went 2 visit Ground Zero. I got shivers up my spine when i stood at the Terminal spot and just looked over the site....We then traveresed 2 the World Finance Center where we spent pretty much an hour taking pictures of a ball of light. we're so childish. hahah. Wow we did alot of stuff on Wednesday. hahah. For dinner we went to NINJA NEW YORK. And for any readers out there who ever visit new york i highly recommend you go there w/ loads of money. That Japanese restaurant is AWESOME. First of all. when we the elevator dropped us off a ninja jumped out and greeted us. He then lead us through this cave to our tatami room. PS: did i mention ninja's served us? Hahah the food was excellent and well worth the 471USD bill. (including a mandatory 20%-73$ tip) Well, actually i paid a lot more for my food because i certainly didn't eat that much nor did i drink any of the 64$ bottle of sake that everyone ordered... boo urns but seriously the food was eggsalent. especially dessert, but everyone knows i love dessert. hahah. SIGH i love that restaurant, everyone is so friendly and it is the only place were *you will see a spanish ninja* haha the manager was super friendly and he showed us magic tricks, which i love. siiiigh. We all got free shuriken keychains and i stole all the coasters. hahaha. sigh. maybe i should open up a ninja edmonton! HOHOHO. naaaw, i dont think i'd be able 2 find servers that friendly. hahaha. Oh, i remeber that day we took a cab home and cathy screamed because she thought our taxi driver was going 2 hit a pedstrian. Everybody yelled at her and said *CATHY, if the cab driver hits anyone its because YOU made him*. aaah it was quite funny....not 2 mention that henry got severly drunk that night.

Greetings everyone!

Or as they say in New York....*Greetings everyone!* Huuuurr. So i believe that i can safetly say that New York was AWESOME! Hoh seriously, i'm so happy that we got *so* much stuff done! i'm totally broke now, but HEY thats okay. Hah, i dont even know where to start....I think i will break my trip up into 3 stories. Yes, yes i will. So anyways.
*Friday February 17th was our travelling day. We left Edmonton at ~7am and got 2 Chicago in around 2-3 hours. Our flight 2 NY kept on getting delayed, and we finally made it to the big apple at 8PM (local time). We checked into our lister hall sized rooms and then went 2 grab a bite to eat and walked around a bit w/ the class. Um i think we walked around Times Square a bit and then we went 2 Grand Central Station, which for first time new yorkers we ooh-ed and aw-ed at for quite some time. And that was pretty much it for that day. I thought it was so great because we were out walking till 1AM (what kind of school trip would let you do that??)
*Saturday February 18th. We did so much walking this day i'm surprised i didn't die. We walked 5th (or 6th or 7th) ave and went through Central Park. But we mostly spent the day at the Metropolitan Museum which i think is my favorite museum that we visited. (oh no sorry i lied, the Met is my 2nd fave) This place is HUGE though and we spent 5 hours nonstop walking around looking at pieces. So pretty.... I was so moved because i seen the original Monet waterlilies piece that i *reproduced* in painting 310. Hohoh but even though we were so mofo tired, it was complete insanity if we went back to the hotel at 8PM. So we went 2 Times Square-ish i believe and wandered around. (Although some ppl disagree i'll say thank the lord for Henry and his amazing map reading skillz) We popped into the HUGE toys R us store and....oh goodness i just remembered that i didn't get 2 go 2 the huge build-a-bear store.....aaaaaaaaaw.... For dinner that night we went 2 eat at Planet Hollywood. pretty good for our first dinner in NY. And that was Saturday.
*Sunday February 19th. We went 2 the Guggenheim Museum, and with the exception of the building itself i found wasn't that great. But still okay. Then we went off schedule and went 2 the Neue Gallery (which i say is my fave because of the installation that they were showing) They basically showcased a whole lot of Egon Schiele's works and i thought those were especially amazing. (once again i was touched when i saw the originals of the ones that i had reproduced) I was a little bit sad that we weren't allowed to take pictures (even though pictures do his stuff injustice) i would have liked to have anyways. Then i think we went 2 the Frick Museum, but seeing as i dont remember much i must not have found it quite as interesting. I'm trying 2 remember were we went 2 eat....I'm thinking that we went 2 a little Cafe for dinner but i'm not sure. Well after dinner we must have walked around Times Square again because i recall we were there several times during the first few days of our trip. I called my mom to wish her a happy birthday at 2AM because NY is ahead by 2 hours (and many ppl kept on forgetting that)
I think i should stop recapping for now, or this entry will turn into an essay. Just some small points. I hung out in the chinese group w/ Long-Sum (who is completely different than what i expected), Cathy, Henry and Roni. LongSum made a good point about having a diverse group of ppl. Henry was our GPS, Cathy was the one who found the shopping malls, Roni took care of the major attractions and...well me and long sum just enjoyed it all. Hahah. Although i feel a little bad for Henry and Roni because it was exactly the opposite of what Henry wanted, and Roni felt frustruated all the time. But thats another story....

crunch time everybody....

Hey all. So its 2 30AM right now, (an hour before i leave 2 the airport). Starting 2 get a little nervous, w/ that feeling that i've forgotten 2 pack soemthing. Ow-eee-ch. i keep on hurting my self this week. My right leg alone has like 3 bruises on it....a sign?....i dont want 2 tell anyone but i kinda have a weird feeling about going to NY. I keep having this feeling that something might happen. And today could be the last time i see my famly and friends for a while....I kept on thinking that i was going to get into an accident before i left or something that would prevent me from going....huuuur weird. I'm sure its nothing. Ho hum shake it off shake it off. Um.... i brought lots of stuff to keep me occupied so i hope i dont et bored. Alhtough just now me and I were talking about how um... annoying my roomate for the next 10 days can be. (sigh, i just remembered when i spent 4 days straight w/ her in fort mac and i almost gouged my own eyes out) hahah how horrible am i. But i just dont like how she views dating and guys. Like she doen'st take it seriously at all, but yet when a guy breaks up w/ her she gets super upset. hurrrr, extremely unfair. But anyways, we get along pretty well so i guess i'll be fine. Hahaha, all my workmates said they will miss me, i'm so pleased. And i'm pretty sure when they said it they meant it. Hohohoh i feel so loved.... except by my daddy. I called back home 2 say bye 2 my mom and dad tonight, but my brother hung up before i could talk 2 my dad. So then i called back right away and my dad had just stepped into the john. And my mom was like *HEY HEY your daugter wants 2 say *bye* to you!!!* and i heard a muffled 'okay bye bye' through the door... haha im so loved aaaah. well i can't think of anything else to say i 'll prolly stop and empty out my inbox and do random stuff. Huuuuur bye bye everybody!

New York has finally arrived

Oh goodness i was very afraid i'd never made it to today. Did i mention last post that this week was HELL. pure sweet evil hell. Ugh, I finally got around to starting 2 pack yesterday. Its always amazing that no matter how early i get and how little sleep i have that day, when 11 PM rolls around i always end up being wide awake. So i packed basic stuff yesterday. I'm worried i'm ging to get 2 NY and the first thing i will do is unpack and go *OH SHIT I FORGOT ____* I usually have my luggage half packed like months before a trip. Ugh, welp currently i am emptying out the memory card on my digicam. Hohoh, Then if i have time i will pack some more, then i gotta go 2 WEM 2 do some desperate last minute shopping before i go to work. Oh yes, did i mention that v-day was also pure hell? hoy. As was my design 'presentation' yesterday. I must have some type of disease when it comes 2 oral presentations in front of classrooms. I have absolutely no problem talking 2 small groups, but like, larger than 8 or something and i start 2 get really nervous and i often blank out. Maaaaaan life is horrible. Anyhoo, i'll prolly write one more post tonight after ive finished packing and am just lounging around. alrighty folks!

为什么我没有情人?

arg i hates valentines day. Not just because i am lonely *sob sob* but because its always around midterm week, and that week is always hectic, and working at a restaurant sucks because on valentines day no matter what restaurant you work at its always busy and its always full of couples coupling. HARG i've been SO busy this week. On friday i had a banquet to go to and i was hoping to get soem school related work done then, but no avail. On saturday i wanted 2 go 2 WEM and get all my last minutes shopping done for my trip to NY but i didn't go. So i just went 2 walmart and bought stuff there, then i went home and studied like crazy for artH 209 till 5AM(which mind you i hadn't even taken the plastic wrap off the text yet...heheh) and then Sunday i had to work all day. Dwear Mne i haven't workd all day in a while. I managed to finish my *non* mandatory-mandatory speech for china 102 at work and boy was it crap. (i should tried harder, apparently the prize is a trip to bc! hahah oops. Any hoo i seen my multilingual sushi chef in casual clothes. Unfortutanely the one thing i didn't factor in apparetnly happened. He...has a girlfriend. hahahah oops again. But anyways i was surprisingly not as dashed as i thought i'd be. Ho hum. So any hoo i got home and went 2 bed at woke back up at 1 to study for art H. Monday i went 2 mandarin class and came home and did all 3 sketch models for class during my 5 hour lunch break, hahah. And then i came home and slept and woke back up at 1 to study. (sounds familiar eh) Hahah this morning i was so scared i was going to sleep in that i kept on waking up every hour and checking my clock. Hahah, well i *think* i did okay on my exam. I finished *exactly* when she said time was up (literally, i dotted my last period when the buzzer rang) And then, i came home and worked on my mood board, and took like a 20 mintue nap, before going to hell. hahah seriously i'm not exagerating, it was so crazy at work today, i'm so glad the 2nd hostess came into help otherwise i dont know waht i would have done. So tired. but on the plus side someone called in a huge order and didn't come to pick it up so....i got free food! hahaha *shhh* Eventually i got home and hoovered supper down before finishing my mandarin homework (badly mind you) and here i am (or was rather) doing some more sketches for design.... sob sob, i still haven't started packing yet.... oh i can see the nightmaires now. Mommy when will friday come?

dwear mne

These next 7 days are going to be hectic. So much to do, so little time. oh boy oh boy. I really should be asleep but i've been itching to write in my bloggy-blog. (how am i going to survive 10 days away from you sweetie?) Oh snap. HOH i had a dream today. It was extremely out of place considering that that night i had just discussed w/ my brothers *how do you get yourself to dream* Aaaaand after that conversation i went 2 sleep and dreamt about my instructor. *heheh* how much of a creep am i? hahah i dreamt i bumped into him in the elevator/escalator/iforgot and my brothers invited him up for....orange juice. OY what the hell kind of crack am i smoking. hahah And then i woke up. Ummmm. what else has happened. Oh banquets coming up 2morrow, looking forward 2 that. But not looking forward to next week. dwear mne so much stuff to do. Um... somthing else. OH i finally went and exchanged my ipod. Futurshop has been out of 1G ipod shuffles for like 2 months now so i decided 2 just upgrade. Hohoh i was so happy when i finally got my ipod up and working. I went on ebay to look for accessories (funny because we just had a talk about stuff like this in des class) and theres so much stuff i want 2 get for...for ipod jr. har har. Um..OH riiiight. on tuesday, i seen mister dreamy in casual clothes! OHOHOH. hahah i feel really bad because when he came into the dining room the first thing i did was....i checked out his shoes. Yup, you know i've got a shoe fetish when the first thing i do is check out ppls shoes. Hahaha, actually i shouldn't be surprised. I know what kind of shoes everybody in all of my classes wear. hohoh i'm sure it just means i'm observant. (which truly i am...or just nosy) If anyone every quizzed me on random facts about ppl in class its actually quite creepy on how much i know. hahaha its just because ppl talk loud, come-on. Aaaah well i think thats all the update that i can think of. OH except today, i was looking at that footprint mark on the bottom of my wall that i made a year ago when my painting instructor was trying 2 teach us yoga and i tried 2 stand on my head that day. I started 2 wonder if i could stand on my head a year later so i tried. aaaand i did! yay. hahah i got up and i was like *HEY HEY GUYS LOOK I'M STANDING ON MY HEAD!!! ...WOW I'M DIZZY I GOTTA GET DOWN FROM HERE* hahah and then right after i celebrated by eating leftover dinner. waboosh

boo hoo

sob sob, this 'always' happens. Soooo, i've been daydreaming a lot about a certain someone recently. But today when i went 2 work i felt extremely awkward around him...hahaha.... which resulted in me not saying a single word to him today. *sob sob* The exact opposite of what i daydream about. Hahah i was being one of those creepy girls that stares at guys when they're not looking. I almost walked into our samurai head today because of that. haha. Aaaah he certainly is dreamy (i hope i'm not older than him....)But still....i wonder what he looks like outside of work. I've never seen him out of work clothes before. And from experiecne all my sushi chefs look better in street clothes (With the exception of bento C man. Hes good looking in his work clothes cuz they're formal.) Hoho maybe on SUNDAY i'll see him out of his work clothes since i work all day that day. Ohohoh.... Welp, yesterday i was trying 2 draw some sketches for my upcoming design project. (Children's Stool) and i was having severe designers block. And i somehow managed to turn on my cpu and download a template to make a real life paper mario. I was going to post a picture of the mario that i proudly made in 5 hours but its been a year since i posted a picture and i've forgetten how. (i also believe i no longer have 2 program for it....) HOY i just realized i have really musckly legs when i flex em'...yeesh. Oh wow it seems like my NY trip is getting closer and closer. I gotta start packing and getting all my stuff ready. Lots to do Lots to do! *tee hee* mario your so cute....

yo dawg

I'm not sure if i'm actually starting 2 lose weight or if its just my eyes playing tricks on me. *heh heh* Well, i really really wanted 2 write in here yesterday but my i-net was down for like 2 hours, and i just couldn't pry my eyes open any longer to wait. I was so happy haha i made $25 in tips yesterday in credit cards and debit sales. hohoho. And i've recently been itching 2 go 2 the marble slab 2 eat ouce cream. Its opened for like 3 months and i still haven't stopped by even though its one of my favorite things to eat. Um...i think i've been having some weird dreams lately, many of which i do not remember. And i've also been having some bad luck in manga. I recently came into ownership of 4 new manga's. (Confidential Confessions, Death Note, Nana, and Princess Ai) I bought the 2nd and 3rd books and they were kinda boring. Nana was mainly because it was by the author of parakiss. I think it'll get more interesting later on but i dont really wanna risk it. Death Note is okay, althought i dont really like the 'main characters' attitude on life. The otehr 2 books i got from cathy because she was cleaning out her bookshelf. CC is okay 'only' because it talks about controversial stuff. I told iris that i think she'd hate this series. haha. I dont even really wanna mention about princess ai. It sounds okay on the back, and if i were like 5 years younger i think i'd like it. It also might have 2 do w/ the idea that the story's written by courteney love.... But its such a typical teenage girl story. Girl wakes up w/ amnesia. Girl bumps into good looking guy who she feels strongly connected to. Girl trying 2 discover her past. Girl keeps bumping into guy, feels destined to be together....Seriously thats exactly hwo the story is unfolding, its like a soap opera. Harg. Welp, i got my ticket to NY today. hohoho starting 2 get excited! I feel kinda bad because i told instructor jeff that i would miss a class but apparetnly i lied because we're missing less school than i htought. (only friday classes wich coincedentially is only mandarin) Iris sent me a japanese commercial for Link to the Past and i laughed at how horrible it was. Basically it was a live action commercial w/ ppl dressed up as Link and Zelda and other random charactes dancing to a similar version of michael jackson's thriller. Horrible yet funny. *Sigh* my grandparents and dad are coming out next week. Hotel La Chow will now be in service. I hate sleeping in felix's room cuz well...his 'alarm clock' rings for like an hour, until he wakes up and turns on all the lights and keeps then on until he pretty much leaves....sob sob....BUT on the plus side i keep on thinking about this guy.... tee hee. I realized today how extremely attractive it is when guys can speak more than one language. Needless to say i went into drool mode when i heard the latest sushi chef not only speak english and cantonese but...taisan as well! Hoho (i think i remember writing this before) But then i was like, aaah english and cantonese is pretty typcial, and taisan is more of a dialect it should'nt come as that much of a surprise. But THEN! Yesterday, i found out he can also speak....'mandarin' OHoho, now mandarin i think is pretty hot hahah mmmmm....multilingual....so sexy. hahah. boy i AM a creep.

great googally boogally

whats with me writing entries on a regular basis? there must be soemthing i want 2 get out. Ho hum....well me H&W did our presentation today on the Flywheel. I think it went pretty good. Cept that i think the group was starting to get on each other's nerves. oy oy. I dont think i got on anyones nerves cuz i just did the stuff that ppl asked me too.... Although, personally i think that the young fellow in our group doesn't realize that us 2 girls dont have as much ....*experience* i will call it, as he does. He kept on asking me to do this and do that, and which honestly i had asolutely no idea how to do it. And when i asked him he pretty much told me 2 ask someone else.... but i figure it went okay. I learned how to use more machines yesterday in one day that i have in the past 4 months....haha, i'm horrible. Oh right, i think the band saw has a grudge against me. First time i asked kenny to teach me how to use it and it broke when i pushed the button. Today i went to cut some innocent pieces of sintra and the band snapped off and broke in half....seriously. It scared the living begeezus outta me. I swear it could have cut my thumb off and i prolly woudn't have noticed cuz i was to busy trying 2 get my heart started again. The technician man gave me a dirty look when i told him....*sob sob* My mandarin instructor's pretty horrible too. Dwear mne, i dont know why but i no longer look forward to attending class, and those 50 mintues seem to draaaaaag by. I think its because she seems 2 inflict fear upon everyone. She makes everyone read a sentence (which i dont mind) but then she makes them correct certain words like...5 times. And personally at the end of the 5th time i still hear no difference, and im sure the rest of the class doesn't either. Even the smart kid in the class is starting to not like her methinks. I feel so bad for the english guy in our class. He keeps telling our mandarin instructor that shes speaking too fast and that he can't understand, and yet she keeps speaking equally as fast. AND she keeps making him repeat everyword in teh sentence because he can't pronounce it 'perfectly'. I think that is WAY to strict. I mean, if i got up in front of the class and asked her to repeat a sentence i said in english i'm positive she wouldn't be able to do it perfectly either because English is not her first language. Well she should realize that mandarin is obviously not our first language and therefore cannot pronounce everyword w/ the same roll of the tongue and tinge of the lip as she does....arg, man this is making me angry. I dont even wanan think about all the students in my class right now that are so discouraged from taking higher levels because of this.....*sob sob*

Oh Jimminey Cricket....

I have accumulated so many stories to tell over these past few days that i have a feeling this blog entry will be quite lenghty. On....Friday i believe it was, i was taking the train to the U. and I seen this lady, i guess she had a... a hangnail i believe you call it. (Those little small flaps of skin that flap up kinda near your fingernails) and i guess she was trying 2 bite it off. Pretty normal, yes. But she started like.....molesting her finger. I became extremely disturbed, but yet could not tear my eyes away. And even when i finally did i could still ehar her... guh...sucking and doing whatever the hell she was doing to her finger. And then, she stopped and put her hand down on her bag (that one finger still shiny from the saliva) and then like 5 seconds later she'd pick it back up and do exactly the same thing. She did it like 4 times i swear. Those poor guys in front of her. They musta been there since like Clareview because one guy seemed WAY to engrossed in his textbook, while the other guy stared at this spot on the floor like his life depended on it. But i finally looked away...however curiosity brought me back just in time to see the lady pick her nose. And like i guess this is a pretty normal thing to do if you try and do it inconspicously. but this lady was like....searching for treasure. And boy she shure found some. However, the most disturbing part to this story was where she put her....*treasure*....Now ladies and gentlemen, when you dont have kleenex where is the grossest place you can put a booger....if any of you ppl said *in your mouth* you are correct! Thats right folks, you heard me, in her mouth....shshshttssh...(thats my sound of when soemthins gross and i dont knwo what to say)... oh dawg. Its actually a lot grosser when i tell it in person w/ all the actions and sounds... Sigh, i seem 2 believe that a lot of otehr things happened these past few days but i can only seem 2 remember 2 main stories, 1 of which i have already told you.... Oh well. I'll start #2. So Sunday was Chinese New Years (新年快乐 to everybody) I woke up at like...10AM so i could go 2 kingsway. (I had went 2 WEM yesterday and bought nothing and was feeling particularly empty) So i went 2 kingsway and spend money on stuff i later deemed unnecessary. 2 books that weren't extremely good and 2 hairpins that i have no where to put since i have next to no hair....sigh. So i eventually got home and got ready for work. Me and my brothers were trying 2 call home (fort mac) to say happy new years to everybody but the phone was busy for like...2 hours. So i went 2 work. And it was slow there so i called from my cell to say happy new years, and once again (2 hours later) the phone is still busy. But i finally get through another 2 hours later and wish aaaaall my aunts and uncles happy new year. Then i ask 2 talk 2 my gramma. and Literally the translated conversation went like this, "WEI? IsThisCorinna?OhHiYes, HappyNewYearsToYouTo, I'mPlayingMahjongRightNowCan'tTalk,Bye!* ...sob i'm so unloved. Hahah. Anyhoo, i got some lucky moolah from mah boss (Hey i've been working at Kyoto for a year now yay!) And then me and my brothers and Jess went out for dinner at Taipan Cafe, which i have to say is one of my favourite restaurants : ) Jess got her nose pierced at it had huge crusties on it, and we kept commenting on how it seemed 2 get bigger and bigger. But anyways. we went home tralala. I watched some tv. At 1 30 i stood up to turn off the TV when the phone rang. I picked it up and it was Jess asking us to take her to the hospital because she took a shower and her nose wouldnt' stop bleeding. Now i figured it was pretty bad because me and her aren't pussies and i figured she wouldn't go 2 the hospital unless it was really really REALLY bad. So i grabbed the 2 new books i bought we all went 2 the emergency ward at the hospital because thats the only thing thats open at 2AM. Dear Lord there were so many ppl there. But i guess since Jess managed to fill up an entire facecloth w/ blood in 5 mintues they figured it was worth looking at sooner, so she didn't have 2 wait that long. (I feel so sorry for the lady w/ the broken wrist who had been there since 8PM and finally got admited at 4AM.) But actually a lot of the patients at hospitals are really nice, (and funny i'll say considering how much pain some of them must be in) So, it turned out that whoever had pierced Jess' nose (this lady at Orchid in WEM for those who wish to know) pierced it right through an artery. (who knew noses had arteries. the lady at Orchid didn't thats for sure) Anyways Jess said after they took the piercing out blood started gushing out of her nose like a friggen faucet, and she said she went into shock for a few minutes. HoBoy. So.... long story short we ended up staying at the RAHospital till 6 30AM. I came home and ate a fudgsicle cuz i was craving one and set my alarm clock to ring 5 hours later....Stupid thing is at 9AM this morning i somehow knocked my alarm clock down onto the floor causing the batteries to shoot out and resulting in the missing of my class....Bitch. Arg. But! There actually is a plus side. I went 2 Des class early today and i used 3 entirely new machines successfully today! Hohoho i'm so happy. hahah. I made a world! And Then me and Jess, Jen, Cathy and Tara went 2 BP's to eat dinner. (iris didn't come because she was feeling under the weather. Which was sad because i finally remembered 2 bring those xmas crackers) Our server was kinda rude i think, and i ended up once again paying for way more than i ate....i think i paid something like....25$ for my panzerotti roll ($8.75) a drink and like....5 chicken wings. Siiigh. HEY CORINNA AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE DIETING???? Hoy i'm forgetting about that. *slap slap* Okay well i think thats all the main stuff that i wanted 2 tell. I should prolly go to bread anyhoo....

Oh internet how i loathe you

I do loathe you internet. You always make me procrastinate and i find out things i shouldn't on you.... boo urns. Arg, i should've went 2 sleep like 5 hours ago. dammit. today was productive but i did stuff that didn't need to be done. I organized all the songs on my cpu. I also realized that...i like writing lists. I always write lists for everything and it makes me feel organized and happy. haha i'm weird. I spent like....2 hours on this translator site because it kept on translating english words to chinese or japanese to english. Its quite funny because the grammar is horribly wrong. I also looked up types of depression to see what kind that i might have had when i was young. dysthia one or osmthing? aaah dunno....Ugh. I actually have quite a long blog 2 post but i think i'm going to save it for 2morrow. Note to self. reminder for gross day and sushi time. hahah gross gross and funny. But. anyhow i just felt a little pang of saddness because i read spoilers for naruto. Its actually really really REALLY sad. Basically, team 7 (which for those who dont know is naruto, sasuke and sakura and they were really polar opposites i think but eventually they became best friends/rivals) and apparently right now Team 7 has just split up. and i dont mean like *boo-urns your not my friend anymore* they've *split up* like naruto went on a 3 year training thing w/ guy A to city A and sakura went dido w/ guy B to city B. Sasuke....oh sasuke, he (as they say) turned his back on konoha village and went 2 look for this other guy who promised him power. Naruto chases him down to try and talk some sense into him and they both start fighting. And apparetnly sasuke can become much stronger and gain a special abbility if he is able 2 kill his best friend (its such a long story). But him and Naruto pull out their best moves that will obviously kill the weaker one. At the last possible moment naruto stops his move to see if sasuke will really kill him and sasuke does the same thing but instead punches Naruto. He then leaves Naruto to find his new master. Team 7's sensei finally finds the Naruto who is unconscious and holding Sasuke's hitai-ate headband w/ a scratch across the leaf crest, 'symbolizing his betrayal'. It then says 2 years pass....TWO YEARS?? OH MY GOD. and then naruto and sakura meet up again, but sasuke is still nowhere to be seen. And apparently that is how far the anime is right now...The real kicker is how behind i am. I dont even think team 7 has officially passed entrance exams yet. I dont even wanna think about how long its going to take the manga to catch up.... oh SOB SOB. why are you so cruel to me world.....

good morning

i dont think i've ever written a post earlier than midnight before. huck-guck-guck-guck. Well anyhoo, i just wanted 2 write about this creepily weird dream i had this morning. I dreamt that there was this murderer going around targeting students from my graduating school year. Me and my 2 friends were trying 2 catch the murderer and we eventually did. Then the 3 of us went 2 my house 2 celebrate for a bit and then friend 1 said she had 2 go home to do something. Friend 2 said she was going to visit her later. And then it was just the 2 of us and we talked about how long it had been since the 3 of us got together (because we drifted apart in uni) and then friend 2 went 2 leave but she turne around and said somthing like *keep an eye out for ___ she seems kinda unstable, i'm worried she might do soemthing to herself* and then she left. and i was like ....*whaaa* because she has never worried about my other firned before. And then i noticed she left her bag at my place and i since i couldn't shake that ominous feeling off i ....i snooped. I eventually found this list in her bag and it had all of the names of the ppl that had been killed and they were all crossed off except for one last name at the bottom, and it was the name of my friend who she was going to visit. Dun dun dun. pretty creepy eh. (oh in case you guys didn't get it, friend 2 is supposed 2 be the real killer....i think i missed some details hahah)

你微笑时好美

.... i actually dont know what that means but my friend told me today its scary. If anyone knows....feel free to drop me line. yes indeedy. Anyhoo, that's the name of this mandarin song i have been listening 2 non stop today and yesterday. Its berry pretty ladies and gents. Hohum. i'm trying 2 procrastinate and hope that my hotmail will start working again. something is wrong with mine, and apparently only my account. bah. But anyhoo. I was doing soemthing thinking couple days ago. And apparently my design instructor is not as young as i thought he was....HHHhmm. I thought he was like a few years older than us, but apparently hes been teaching for *quite* some time now. oh...AND *and* he has....wrinkles... gasp. haha but hes still a pretty funny instructor. Aaaah, we have a whole bunch of new sushi chefs at work. oh yes... after the good looking one got fired and i came back from fort mac we apparently got another good looking one. And this one i thinks pretty good looking on a constant basis. haha. OH *and* he speaks cantonese AND t...tai...tas....the language that gramma and grandpa speak...OHOHO hahah but alas, this is corinna we are talking about. haha. um...oh and. today, i used my new mandarin skills at work... oh yeah baby check out those skillz. hahah a china man came in today and he started talking 2 all the servers in mandarin, and eventually he just waved me down and started ordering in mandarin. hahah. hahah but i still suck and i thought he said he wanted 2 pay for another customer's bill as well (because he bought everybody a glass of wine) and he was like (glare) no...just mine. hahah *oops* aaaah. welp anyhow i'm going to go sleep now mate's. see ya'll later

wow

....3 posts 3 days in a row, i must be sick....but in reality i find these consecutive posts quite boring because lets face it, how much interesting stuff can happen 2 corinna in 3 days? not very, is the answer. But i was once again feeling bored. I hope i dont blank out doing my mandarin skit 2morrow, boy boy have i ever mentioned how much i hate doing oral presentations? ....and yet the strange thing is, at work i have no problem walking up to complete strangers and making friendly witty banter....i wonder if its some kind of handicap i have....sucks. Welp aside from trying 2 remember my lines, i also just finished writting 1/3 of our design paper.... dwear mne i hope its okay. I'm kinda on that verge of not knowing whats going on right now and i've felt that way for the past 30 mintues of writing so i dont know how the paper sounds. I'll look over it again 2morrow and see if i make sense. haha. um....what else. Welp i'm trying 2 save up some spending cash for myslef when i go to NY. I think i should start planning out a simple budget and decideing what to pack... i always start packing like 2 weeks in advance anytime i go anywhere. but aside from that.... does anyone ever find that they never seem to have enought time to do all the stuff they want 2 do? i really want 2 start on my animethon costume, but well lets face it, i'm a slacker, and when i do find i have time i'm usually scrambling to get homework or something done that should have been done several days ago.... bah humbug. Weeeell i think this blog looks about average size so i should prolly punch the bag (get it, mwa mwa....*sigh*....no wonder i'm single) oh wildest thing happened today....i got a free paint set w/ my qtips. WHOA
PS. i forgot to write last week, Happy First Year Anniversary Corinna's Blog Page!

hullo hullo

aaah me and my brothers were *winter* cleaning today. boy boy. I found my old diary and was reading the lasty 20 or so entries. hahah i was a creepy 17 year old wasn't i? Hahah, i wrote a lot about craig too.... amongst other boys....hoy i do have bad relationships. Craig was a jerk, charles was a jerk and mitch...boy now that i think about it mitch was a jerk too. What kind of boyfriend calls up his girlfriend after not seeing her for a week and falls asleep while she's talking to him? an asshole thats who. I'm an idiot for putting up with it too. if i ever stop being single i swear to gud that i wont take that shit no more. Boy george. Weee chinese new year is coming up soon. I realised just now that i didn't make any new year resolutions yet.... hmm.... maybe i'll put a few down here....well, um, i resolve to....try to speak up more in class, um.... lose weight (or at least eat healthier)...and um i guess thats about it. I learned to not make too many resolutions or you'll never keep up with them. I was just thinking about how i haven't drawn or painted anything in a really long time.... since summer school i think. I really miss it. I want to use up that once canvas i made last year and see what i can paint up. Especially remembering how my painting style changed during our last project in 310. egads so little time, so much to do. weeeeell i think i'm going to sleep now, i'm actually pretty tired tonight.

spelunk!

Spelunk is quite a funny word isn't it? i certainly think its a funny word. Hohum, I was starting to write our groups report on *flywheels* when i realized that i haven't written a paper in over 2 years. I think i've lost my touch....or it could be due to the fact that i'm writing about flywheels rather that something i'm more passionate about.... like english papers and soc. papers.... le sigh. i finally got my own copy of pride & prejudice. In highschool that was my favorite novel, haha because i'm such a romantic. Um... oh and i will say that today, i have given up on trying 2 get my xmas present ipod to work. I've tried all that i can think of to get it to work and to no avail. I'm left to believe that the one and only ipod my brothers chose was a defect. *sigh* Ho hum what else. Oh haha i didn't really have anything to say today except that 'im trying to be more 'healthy' It has something to do w/ something that happened when i was back home in fort mac but its kind of a long story and i'm not very proud of it (nothing embarssing like breaking a bus bench) But all aside, yes. I'm trying 2 be more healthy, im hoping my infamous will power will get me out of this jam. bloog. My friend lent me a *fate for 2006* book and it said that i have 2 watch out for my health and that i will have gastrointestinal problems.... i dont even really know what that is but i dont want it. hahah. So yeaaaah. eating healthy! i dont *think* i've had any chocolate (knowingly anyways) since i came back from fort mac. shocking. Hohoho, i'm getting excited for NY, and a little nervous about money and other things. but still exciting! oooh and i'm looking forward to the chinese new year banquet that me and my buds are going to. yeehaw. I haven't gotten together w/ all my friends since my birthday. Speaking of friends i haven't seen iris in awhile. I feel kinda bad but i feel awkward when her mom's around. Not to mention her new place i still dont really know how to get to yet and is quite a ways away from the lrt station....(i'm so lazy) But anothing thing too....i went 2 look at her blog pages again, and it really pains me to read one of her pages that she has. Her recent entry was about her sister and how she doesn't help around the house w/ chores and doenst pay for anything. Sigh i dont know what to do. I want 2 send an anonymous email to ling w/ the link but i'm not sure what that might lead to. Dwear mne, i've seen so many tv shows about friends knowing they're friend suffers from depression or something and they never tell anyone and in the end something terrible happens. Blarg, i dont know why but i keep hoping that it'll eventually boil over and she'll be fine.... aaaarg, i hope i dont end up being sorry in the end. I just hope that iris eventually gets out of this rut and starts looking on the bright side of things.

hi everybody

i'm doctor nick riviera. hahah no actually i'm not. it's really just corinna. haha. Real quicky tonight. Its super ....well not *super* late, but its getting there, and i still have class 2morrow. i JUST finished watching the Naruto Snow Princess movie, and i'll have to say, of all the anime movies i've ever watched before this one tops them all. (of course i haven't watched all that many....) but i think its still pretty good. The story line wasn't really what i was expecting and i kinda was hoping for more info on kakashi and when he was an ANBU.... but ah well. The animation was eggsalent. Every scene i think was gorgeously done. Theres very few anime's where i find the animation nicely done and consistant.... Oh i just looked at my stash of anime movies hahah, and i forgot about the finale to CCS. I think that *that* one was a really good story. hahaha i'm a sucker for romance. But back to naruto, though i still wish that they'd do some more like....tricks and stuff, because the first season i got hooked on because i never knew what to expect and there were so many twists. I haven't really caught anything that totally wacks me out yet.... hahah boy i'm such a critic. Anyways, i really should be going to sleep. When i have time i'll catch up some more details. Ohohoh PS. i still am super intent on doing anbu kakashi for animethon! hohoh my anbu mask is *slowly* coming along (notice how i emphasize slowly) hahah but its still su-pah fun. Yahooo, hoo-ray for naruto, hoo-ray for sasuke, hoo-ray for kakashi !

Oh lord, how you mock me

Long time since i wrote? Like a week or something. I was just reading my previous entry and it reminded me, my bus ride back here was horrible. I didn't get to sit next to a gorgeous looking man. I got to sit next to a fairly large man who i dont think showered for a good few days. He was extremely phlegm-fully sick and snored....*sob sob* at grasslands his friends woke him up and that was the only reason i was able to slip past him 2 get some food. When i got back on the bus he had passed out and i tapped him on the shoulders a good 3,4 times before i started jabbing and loudly saying *excuse me* (i believe the whole bus was snickering at me behind their seats. So, i took off one shoe and hoppped over the bee-yatch. That was that. And then me and my mom went out 2 etown for 3 days so she could get some shopping in. and i bought 2 pairs of shoes and a new jacket! yay. hahah Um.... oh right. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope my fellow readers (which i realize i have none) are doing well. I got my first *A* in university everyone! yay yay. Hahah, just now i spent an hour and a half writing a email with my mom to send back 2 her family in HK. I was searching the internet for characters because i dont know how to write them out manually....good ol' copy and paste. Em.... what else. Oh i was watching the countdown in NY times square, and i was imagining how sweet it would be if a single girl (ie me) was in times square watching the ball thingy fall and couples around her were bringing in the new year w/ a kiss. When the complete stranger standing next to her grabbed her and gave her a kiss just because he didn't want to be left out (and because he saw that she was a little sad too of course) hahaha have i ever mentioned that i'm a hopeless romantic? Oh speaking of, i seen quinton and sterling today. hahaha how uncanny. They both look exactly the same which is hilarious. I have at least changed my hair style. Q&S both look like they just graduated from high school. With the exception that Sterling has the body of a shrunken arnold swartzenegger and drives a tiburon....dirty bastard. Hahaha. quinton asked me if i was busy on monday and invited me out 2 the slopes to snowboard.... um.... haha unsure if he was just asking to be nice or possibly......possibly..... aah nothing. Hahaha. *le sigh* Remember what i said about flings corinna. Welp, gotta go now okey. oh sigh. just thought of you....happy new year craig....

Romeo, oh Romeo

wherefore art thou Romeo?....seriously where are you? bwa. I was out xmas shopping this past week and i found this kids jewelry box and it played the prettiest song ever ! It was the last one there and it was out of its original box so i coudln't find the song name. All the other jewelry boxes were playing typical tunes like brahmns lullaby and swan lake or something. I asked both my brother and my friend if they knew what the song was and my brother was like *romeo and juliet* and i didn't believe him and i spent like 20 minutes trying 2 find the packaging with no avail. Today however i felt inclined to go online 2 look for romeo and juliet. Because i had a slight feeling that maybe my brother was right. The first 5 songs i found were like classical tchaikovsky and mozart-y stuff and they weren't the ones i was looking for. Sooo i cleaned up my room a bit and then just right now i went 2 look for it again. and Voila! boy my brother is smart. Hiiigh-yaaah, sooo 2morrow i have 2 get up early and go back 2 WEM and look for some presents for my two bro-thers. I think i'm aiming for some clothes. Tra lal aaaa. My mom is coming back out with me on the 26th or something so that she can get her hair cut. Oy oy. I found those shoes that Sherry from work had! hohoh i was so happy. siiigh. Did i mention to anyone that i'm almost broke? erg arg. Soooo i think i'm going to go 2 bread now then okey! (whats with all the exclamation marks today ey, haha) Oo oo, PS i'm going back 2 fort mac 2morrow. So i prolly wont have an entry for a few weeks. I'm scared someone will bootleg the turntableau i purchased for my uber cool cousin, on the bus while i am being distracted by overly gorgeous men. *Sigh* Fare-thee-well

好久不见!

....我想你.... ohohoh hahaa, look everybody, i can read basic mandarin! *sniff sniff* this is the happiest moment of my life. Ahh, i finished my last and final exam today. yay yay! I can read and write some basic mandarin now everyone!!! ohoho i'm so happy. hahah Right after i finished my exam i went straight to WEM. hahah I haven't been there for like 4 months i swear. le sigh. Theres so much stuff i want to buy for myself right now.... I want to get a new pair of shoes (kinda 2 now that i think about it), a new backpack, a new bag/purse, a new cellphone, a new jacket..... *siigh* I have to finish all my xmas shopping first before i go do anything though. Oh, except that i bought myself a hat today.....i feel kinda bad....but then again not really....hahaha. Jargon 5 I'm so glad the winter break is finally here....although i have to say that this semester went by extremely quickly, and i think i'm pretty content w/ how my exams went. Still a little bit if-y on the econ one (i swear i did super on the first half then i scrambled to finish). Maybe i should sign up for more classes next sem so that i'm super busy and time therefore passes by more quickly cuz i'm not always just waiting around. I think some pretty interesting stuff happened since my last entry but i can't seem 2 remember anything... ho hum. Oh right i ahve 2 clean up my apt a little bit and do some laundry....har har har.... sigh. Welp gotta go folks, ttyl

embarassing moment

hello fellow village people,
i have an anecdote to tell everybody. And i will say this here and now. i did not fabricate any....*any* of the following story up. And so it begins....
On thursday morning i woke up late and was therefore rushing around the house packing up my bookbag for class and work following immediately after. I left the house 10 minutes later than usual so when i got outside i started speedwalking (in the freshly snow covered sidewalk mind you) I turned into the stairwell entrance of the Grandin station and walked down two steps. My right foot pretty much slid right out from underneath me, off the step and into the air. Basically i was airborne for a good 5 seconds, where i then proceeded to land on the stair bum first....yes....ouch. (what? did anybody see me?) Oh if only that were the case. There just so happened 2 be a girl 2 steps in front of me when i slipped. And since when you slip down stairs you dont fall straight up but rather forward, i....i kicked her. i kicked her in the back, ladies and gentlemen. In my slow motion airborne state i seen her stumble and grab the hand rail with all her might, and (thankgod) she did not fall down) sooo i landed on the ground and she turned around and looked at me. seen me on the ground and immediately asked me if i was okay. I was kinda embarassed so i was like *oh yeah i'm fine im okay....oh my goodness im so sorry i didn't mean 2 kick you in the back, are YOU okay?!?! i'm so sorry* and she took it pretty good she was like *oh no no i'm fine i'm fine, are you sure your okay? because you slipped* and i was like *heheh yeah hahah (so embarrased) i'm okay* so she turned around to go down the rest of the stairs and i got up. (hahaa....still not the end my friends still not the end) I stood up. took one step, took another...ohp...nope didn't even make it two steps when i did *exactly* the same thing....again. My legs flew out from underneath me and i landed right back on my bum. EXCEPT, this time....i did NOT kick the girl. Rather than kicking her this time however.....my shoe *flew off* and rolled down the steps. The girl looked at this pink shoe at the bottom of the steps and was like *....wtf...* she turns around, and once again, sees me sitting on the floor on the opposite side of the stairwell. *OH MY GOD, ARE YOU OKAY?!?!??! are you dizzy or....do you....um....want me to call for help or soemthing* dear me i think she thought i was like sick or about to pass out (or thought i was on drugs is what my daddy said) soooo i stood up and i was like *hah...oh...um....i'm just tired....hahah....yeah.....* because honestly i didn't want to tell her that i feel fine and i dont know why i just fell down a flight of steps 2 consecutive times. i mean come on, after you fall down once you figure you'd wake up and be alert. NooooOOooo not corinna, i'm still all lethargic after wiping out on a flight of stairs..... hhaha but yeah.... that is the end. and once i again i repeat, this is all true. (seriously though, i've only EVER seen shoes fly off in cartoons) ever time i told someone that story they didn't really beleive my shoe flew off....but it did.....i remember because i was there..... le sigh. i have the stair bruise to prove it. hahah. but i guess thats all.... i can't wait to tell sherry in class on monday. hahah aaaah. no matter how many times i've said it *i kicked her in the back* makes me laugh *everytime* aaaaaaaaaaaah

*sigh* what a relief

*siiiigh* i 'finally' got all my hw finished. I was really really worried on Monday (as if you couldn't tell from the previous entry). As bad as it is to admit it, but having so many people out here really did take its toll on me. Gramma and daddy left this morning and low and behold i finished my *whole* accounting assignment today....just now.....in the past 2 hours. good grief i'm so relieved. This semester's almost over too! Ohohoh i'm so happy. It went by extremely fast. I'd like to believe its because i managed my time wisely. I had 4 courses to keep me busy and when i wasn't in school i was almost always at work. so that left me with only the weekends open and that was most likely reserved for doing homework....oh goodness haha i'm a dweeb. But it worked....Anyways, the main reason for this blog today is in regards to a recent design assignment i got. Its called 'reincarnation' and the basic objective is to create a new and useful object/piece of furniture/something out of readymade objects. (ie a table out of a cutting board and 4 potato mashers) So on tuesday i went 2 the dolla store w/ irish and bought some kuffufin to dook around with. That night i came home and brainstormed for like 5 hours straight and all i came up w/ was a bucket shoe tree....(yes, ingenious i know) I had designers block. dear me. But today i was sitting in the studio w/ my classmates and i was looking at these 2 cd's that i had crammed in my bag'o'goods. And a thought pried itself into my head. I liked the look of the backs of cd's and the way that those 2 cd's were overlapping each other looked pretty neat. I thought that maybe i'd make a serving tray out of glued together cd's and maybe if i could find some cheap records at an antique shop or something i could use those too. i realized that the tray would be a bit wobbly due to the varying heights of the overlapping cd's and records so i'd have to put a piece of plexi glass on top to even it out. ....20 mintues later when i was waiting for the train to come, I was still thinking of what else i could do to my cd/record serving tray. then i thought, w/ a plexi glass top like that it won't really be a serving tray any more but more like a table top. and i thought of what i could use for a base. I wanted 2 stay w/ this slighly electronic/techno theme when i suddenly remembered....i had a old, old box-y tv collecting dust in my closet. the screen was flat and if i turned it on its back (w/ the screen facing up) i could put the serving tray on that and use the tv as my base!!!! Holly hell, i got home and the first thing i did was dig out that TV. I almost did that leprechaun hop because the telly was almost perfect. i'd have 2 make a little foot thing 2 keep it from wobblying but my goodness so great. tee hee. I felt kinda bad about ruining perfectly good records so i thought maybe i wouldn't glue them down. and that led to the idea that they could be removable....which led to the other idea of making a removable record serving tray and cd coasters. HOLLY HELL i can't believe i thought of all of that in 1 hour! HOHOH boy i'm getting goosebumps. Jeff brought out this neat like....neon pinkish plexi glass and i'd love to use that to laminate like...the record tray or a couple coasters. My god, i hope this turns out. haha My *great* ideas have the tendancy to bomb a lot of the times....but times change dont they?! I'm kinda sad because A) all that stuff that i bought at the dollar store i'm not going to use (ie cat food bowl....) and B) i'm prolly going to spend much more time and effort (and possibly moolah) on this project even though its not worth half as much as the previous 3.... please PLEAAASE turn out tv-cd-record table.
PS. since i was going for this big party tray/table i thought of using those funnels i got as like....cups. hahah ITS A GOOD IDEA, MAN. The 2nd funnel holds EXACTLY one shot, and the big funnel holds 4 shots. if i could i'd drill 4 holes into the plexi glass and have the funnels sit in them....My god i just want to mass produce this baby.

its hard to admit

i made a recent discovery. Last year when i was constantly stressed out and depressed i cried *a lot* .... Today, after ....what....like 8 months, i cried. For the entire time that i was in the shower. I was so upset because since i only cry when i'm stressed it pretty much means i'm stressed out. and if it persists i'm get depressed again. I feel like i'm failing behind in school work right now in EVERYTHING. Theres so many people out here at our place right now its getting really hard to do anything. Everywhere i go theres clothes and suitcases everywhere. and i cant seem to do any work anywhere. Usually i'll do my art work on the living room floor in front of the tv and then i'll work on it, take a break, work on it, etc. But because my dad and grandparents are out here i have to pick everything up and put it away right away. And i can't even leave the smallest thing out like a cup or something. My brother got mad at me because i told him i was really behind and named all the hw that i still had remaining. He asked me 'what the hell i've been doing all this time'. and i honestly raised my voice a bit and told him 'I can't get ANYTHING done around here.* I'm most productive at night. I usually do my work on the kitchen table, but i can't now because dad is sleeping in the living room. I do my acctg hw in my room at night but i can't now because my gramma is sleeping in there. And felix's room is definitly out of the question because he sleeps in there. So at night i have nothing left 2 do but go to sleep. But, of course, i can't because A) i'm not tired, and B) i know i have so much hw to do. So i toss and turn for like 3-4 hours and that results in me waking up tired and sleeping in the afternoons. So not only am i falling behind in school but i'm also losing sleep. And what makes it even worse is that my grandpa is in the hospital still. and, i mean hes doing better but the nurses gve him a bunch of pain killers and hes all woosy and out of it, and my gramma worries about him. Today was kinda the first day i went 2 go see him and i was expecting 2 stay there an hour, and then i could come home and fiish my clocks. but they ended up staying at the hospital for almost 3 hours. and i started 2 get really frustrated because i wnted 2 go home. but then i started 2 get angry at myself for being selfish. Here was my grandpa in a hospital bed and my gramma worried 2 death over him and all i wanted 2 do was go home and finish my homework. And now i'm extremely stressed out because i know i'm falling behind, and im extremely confused at to what i should give first priorities to. I feel so bad because I DONT LIKE BEING DEPRESSED. it sucks and i know because i've had mild cases before and managed to get better and be able 2 look back and know how much it sucks. And now i feel like i'm falling back in again and as much as i dont want to i can't seem to help it. I tried really hard not to cry today because i knew that if i did it would be like i was saying that i was starting that road again. And it felt so bad in the shower because in the past when i cried i always thought about all the things that were making me cry and then i'd cry harder. and that is exactly what happened today.....so it's pretty much a given fact right now that i'm stressed out. I haven't figured out if i'm depressed yet (i'm saying it like im happy, but trust me i'm not) I dont know how i'm going to finish the rest of 2005 if everything keeps going on like this. I just dont want go back to being sad and always crying again because like i've figured out. i hate it.

i just want to ax-plode

that is what i want 2 to. So fellow townsfolk, since i haven't written an entry in what seems like aeons, i will give the update. My nice humble abode has now turned into a shack hotel. Its not that i dont like having many relatives over, its just that i can't get anything done. I feel so deprived right now. I'm sharing a room w/ my brother, who gets up at 7AM each morning and his radio alarm plays for an hour before he gets up. I'm a fairly light sleeper, so i'm up once that alarm clock goes off, till 2 hours later after he leaves for work. And then after that its like 9AM and the other family members start waking up and shining lights in my eyes. *sob sob* i'm so tired. and i failed my econ midterm...by like 1 mark....sob sob But. on the plus side grandpa had his heart surgery today and it went okay is what i hear. I had 2 go to class so i didn't get 2 stay. and theeeeen i went 2 shop class and constructed a clock. whoo hoo. This project i thought was actually pretty fun, its coming along i think i'll safely say. However, i discovered just now that the body of my clock is a bit big....SOB SOB. Oo oooh, haha so my instructor isn't appearing to ignore me anymore. hohoh thats always a plus, i think perhaps he has realized that maybe i'm not snobby and that i actually really know nothing about the shop. hahaha. bryan on the other hand. ohoho boy i'd like to give him a piece of my mind. i dunno whats up with him. erg arg....alas, i'm supah tired right now, and i shoulda been asleep 22 minutes ago. so i think that is what i will do.

为什么?

why oh why. i dont know. hahaha. boy boy, many ppls birthdays are coming up again. ho hum. hehehe but the maaain reason i'm writing this blog tonight. is...hohoh you prolly know, its in regards 2 bento c man. hahaha gossip gossip time ladies and gentlemen. so me and sherry we alwasy gossip about him when he comes in to eat lunch on thursdays (oh about how good looking he is, and how something something) and last last thursday, we were talking about him and just as we finished he walked in through the door. and so....like the bumbling elementary school girls we appeared to be we started giggling really hard. and he asked us what was wrong and then sherry said that we were just gossiping about him...hahah yeaaah *smooooth aren't we* hahah and THEN. this week, sherry told me that he hasn't shown up for the whole week. (this is the same guy whos ordered the same thing almost every day of the year for 4 years we're talking about) and we were like *uh oh, do you think he got creeped out because we were talking about him* hahah so then jen and us decided 2 go and eat at joey's on friday (no not just cuz of bento c man, but for numerous other reasons....that i cannot remember) har. sooo friday night rolls around and me and the girls and guys go 2 joey's at 11 30. and low and behold who is there? whoo ha whooo. yeaaah he looked pretty good in his pink dress shirt and glasses. But everybody knows i have a weakness for well dressed men... hoho put em in a tie and good smelling cologne and i prolly wouldn've passed out. hahah sherry was pretty happy. yeah her food was gross and missing stuff but she was still pretty happy. and basically the 6 of us sat at the restaurant and talked about bento c man. hahahah it was great. we all debated upon whether or not he could be gay or not. Today i went 2 work and brian told me that him and sherry were flirting on saturday. OHhohoho. hahah. Its good 2 know that we didn't scare him off, hahaha. Le siiigh. The idea came up once again that my bad luck in relationships could be contagious. (Depending on how much i see someone.) All the examples i can think of involving break ups. When kat and i were still good buddies she had 0 bf's that lasted longer than like 2 weeks, ditto w/ cathy, and iris has never had one. Stephen from work broke up w/ his 6month girlfriend, and couple days ago Eric also broke up with his almost a year girlfriend, and i think Tracy broke up w/ her bf too. However, after i stop being close friends the bad luck rubs off completely. Kat now has like...a steady 2 year boyfriend, and Cathy recen....well last month she met a guy and they seem 2 be hitting it off well..... sigh i dont want to be bad luck relationship girl....poooh.

bento c man

hahaha you know, i realized i have never ever said anything about bento c man in this blog before. hahaha how amazing. Buuuut, bento c man is the goodlooking guy who comes into work pretty much every lunch and has....yup you guessed it. bento c. hahah i only see him once a week because i only work lunch once a week. but today... ohohoh no i saw him today eating ....*dinner* bento. hahahah ....(mumble grumble) but old gramma lady on the phone took so long ordering food that he left. so sad. BUT hohoh my admirer came intoday. hahah naw just kidding. he prolly just likes the food. but, he comes in every sunday and only sunday, when i'm hostessing and orders take out. and now all the sushi chefs know about him and they always comment about him when he comes in. hahah aaah i think its greaaaat. On the other hand my boss keeps like, trying 2 play matchmaker w/ me and the now single sushi chef. hahaha i dunno if he really is or if hes just trying 2 joke around, but he keeps on like. telling me he likes me, and asks us if we're going on dates and stuff.... hahah its very flattering. MAAAN I JUST WANNA.....ERRNNUUUUGH. i went 2 three...THREE dvd/cd stores today trying 2 look for those 2 (or even one) dane cook cd/dvd things. so angary. so i just orderd them off amazon....YES I KNOW I'M TRYING 2 SAVE MOOLAH FOR NYC.... sob sob but i can't help it.... i also wanted 2 buy the oblongs today....and the undergrads. those 2 are my faaaavourite..... le sigh. but i'm going 2 go now, ttyl folks

i'm the yellow tooth dont brush me

hahah i haven't laughed at a joke that hard in a loooong time. So funny. i'm in heart with dane cook. hahahah hes so energetic and his laugh is so cute. hahah say whaaa? its 13 years older than me?? PAH thats not so bad. hahaha but yeah. Maybe HOHO just MAYBE my trip to NYC will happen to coincide with a gig he has. OH YEAAAAAH. hahaha must stop eating toffifee. i went to my friend emily's house to play card games. hahah we played slaps. I think one of my veins popped. I'm wearing that watch that cathy gave me for my birthday to see how long i can last before my hand turnes into a giant hive. (to all those who dont know i'm allergic to certain metals btw) ooooh boy, i was supposed 2 do my econ assignment but IT WAS TO HARD erg i hate schoolio, i wish i could just take drawing/artsy courses everyday. BOY that would be great. Hhahaha but i will drone some more about dane cook. Hahah so he is now the guy that i have a infatuation with. It'll prolly go away after a month but until then. oh boy oh boy i'm going to be like a stalker. tee hee. he's so funny, i couldn't stop laughign at that teeth turn on/off audio one. I get turned on when a girls got nice teeth, like i dont want her to open her mouth and its liek a battle of epic porportions. hahahahah that one makes me laugh when i just think about it. aaaaah. i think i should go to bread now so that i can get up and do my econ hw doodles. PS. it took me like 2 hours to get that dane cook finger banner/button thing up...hahah amazing.....i'm so proud

i want that....

WHY NOT MEEEEE
anyboby recognize that? haha dane cook says that. I've been watching video clips of his for like 5 hours straight. hahaha when hes funny, MAN is he funny. Hes so energetic too. hahah and not to mention bery berry handsome. But alas, hes like....14 years older than me...hahah.... Em....aside from watch dane cook videos all night i didn't really do anything else. I went 2 mandarin class.... then went 2 the bank were i discovered i at a little over a thousand left in my account....hahah thats g-rrrrr-eat. Then i went 2 save ons 2 purchase some brah-cali. and then...who hohooo i went 2 pick up my shoes that came in yesterday. hohoho so happy. I counted all the shoes that i could see today and in the apartment alone, i have 20 pairs..... i'm ashamed.... but at the same time stylin'....yeah baby. There was something important i wanted 2 write in here today. but....i cannot remember. It was probably nothing..... on a different note, the marble slab is now open. OH-hohoh, now my life is complete. Quick access to school, quick access to work, quick acess to a grocery store and buses.....and finally....quick acess to a ice cream parlour. aaaaah. hahaha BUT i think i'm going 2 sleep now. siiigh, i heart you dane cook your so energetic and funny.

absolutely not

is what i'd say if asked do i like being single.
boo-urns. Soooo i'm finishing up my ID project. Kinda worried because i dont think i'm going to get a great mark on it. I mean "I" sure am proud of it especially being my very first assignment and all, but i dont think its like his standard of quality. and the whole presentation thing? oh dear god i think i mighty hyperventilate thinking about it. i mean i'm sure everyone in the class can tell by my shortness of breath and stuttering that i'm super nervous already, no need to re hash the presentation bit. erg arg. still in a jammy dont know what to do to do. I have a mandarin quiz 2morrow. oh boy thats great i just remembered that. after that i think i will go 2 the studio and spray my door handle and then, i'll see if i can figure out whether or not i should put my iso's and sketches on a big piece of mat board. ooooh poop. this is a weird class. arg i dont know how i should present what do to to do? i think i will write out some notes so i hopefully wont blank out in class again....althought i have a feeling that i will like i did last time. aaaanyways. haha did i tell you i think i'm not that ugly anymore? whoo whooo. well actually I dont really think that it just appears that the people seem to be noticing me more than usual. hoh hoh. i'm so happy, it brings a tear to my eye. but really i think it was super brian that rubbed it in. hahaha like i dont think he has said a word 2 me since class started and then, i dunno, maybe it was the scary make up. but yeah, hahaha. its okay though, feels kinda nice to not be the ugly one anymore. arg, i wish i didn't think so hard about the presentation 2morrow now i'm going 2 get super nervous. silly jeff why'd you have 2 give that big schpeel on how important a good presentation is. well i mean i do know that its important but i'm sure everybody does. arg he's prolly just directing it to me because i suck at those. i HATE presentations. All those eyes staring at me. BOO-urns.... MAN i wish contact cement would dry quicker

no more depression

I'm positive there isn't anyone who has read every single entry that i have written to date, so i'm prolly the only one to realise this but. I feel like i've changed alot this year. I say this because i'm pretty sure its true. I just visited my friends blog pages and she has one that she writes in when she feels depressed. And i've read all the entries so far, and they remind me of entries that i used to write in my diaries. I used to feel really worthless and ugly and i used to cry at night time and wonder why i didn't have a better life. I always had thoughts about dying and i'm not proud to admit it but i have small scars on my wrists from certain times when i just wanted to die. I duno what changed in me but i haven't cried in like 8 months. I feel really conceited for saying this but at the same time i'm proud because I think i over came my depression. (if it really was depression.) I dont dwell in the past anymore and i think thats a major kicker if your fighting depression. Dont Dwell in the Past. Whats done is done, and no matter how hard you think about it and what you would have done instead, theres nothing you can do to change the past. Thats what i do now, and honestly i feel a lot better. If i embarass myself so what. Tomorrow is a new day, if you dont think to hard and take it to seriously you wont care about it and it wont bring you down.... hha what a weird entry this one was. But yeah i just realized it and i wanted 2 share. i'm happy i'm not sad anymore : )

NOOO....

i'm 38 minutes to late.... it is no longer halloween..... le sigh. halloween is my favorite day of the year. oh crap, i forgot i have morning classes 2morrow. maybe i should sleep rather than write this blog....nah. so yeah these past few days were pretty fun. fun for sure. i had 2 work all day on my birthday but i got birthday sushi. haha. mm mmm. and then i got pree-sents at home. Tchow gave me a giant john cena doll....it is lying on the ground right next to me as i speak. irish got me some froggy grippy socks and the first thing i did was test those babies out. Yes, i tested out socks. i also got 2 wallets. haha this is what happens when i complain about needing new things. On friday, me and kat went out 2 have lunch, which was nice cuz it was just me and her. and then at night after work me and the ladies (minus cathy) went out and had dinner at joey tomatoes. we managed 2 rack the bill up to 115$$ hahah. On saturday i really wanted 2 go out so i asked tara 2 come clubbing w/ me (which she did, i like clubbing w/ tara more than cathy but shh) we went 2 the ONE on whyte and got the word *kevin* stamped on our hands. haha (dont ask why) I danced w/ a young magician and tara....tara danced w/ a penis. (i htought he was a giant squid.) hahah but it was pretty fun. i seen 2 couples make out. watching that on the internet seems okay, but in real life, i almost threw up a little. hahah. we got stuck in the southside for a good hour and finally got a taxi at like 3 30AM. but it was pretty fun, haha i didn't die, so yeah i'll say it was fun. On sunday i pretty much did nothing. studied a bit, worked on my handles. Then set back my clock an hour. i love sleep. haha. Today i dressed up as the grudge girl and wore a white sheet w/ holes cut out to be a ghost. haha my classmates laughed at me. haha. I dunno if being the grudge girl makes me look prettier or something because a lot of the guys from class talked 2 me today. hahah dunno if that should make me happy or sad. BUT i figured that brian's pretty funny, hahah yeah hes nice. Jeff (classmate jeff) was edward scissorhands. and will...willie....william he was link. i laughed. bronwyn i dont kow what she was but her costume was purdy too. sherry was a witch hahaha she had pretty eyelashes. i was talking 2 quinton today and i was a little creeped out cuz i wasn't sure if he was hitting on me. hahah prolly not but aaaah dunno. i think i'm allergic 2 that white make up that i've been using theset past couple of days....oh so bad. hahah. But 'm going 2 go and take a quick shower then sleep. oh OH ps. jeff...instructor jeff... haha yeah hes married....and has a kid. hahahah the girls didn't believe me. (and they thought i was hearing things) hahaha. welp toodles.

look everybody, i'm not ugly anymore!

aaaah, i've always wanted to say that. Soooo hopefully if many of you couldn't tell i'm not exactly confident that i'm a pretty girl. hahah in fact in high school i know i wasn't a pretty girl. i was downright uuuug-ly. BUT today it dawned a bit on me that i'm prettier now. yaay. haha you have no idea how happy i am. My boss was probably joking but he said *Stephen thinks your pretty* and had he said that like 8 months ago i prolly woulda ran away like a little school girl. hahaha but no i took it like a man....er...i mean. hhaha aaah, i was so touched. Em, and then after i got off work i walked 2 save on's and there were like 3 guys standing outside mongolie grill, and yeaaah...i checked them out, hahah i'd like to think they were also checking me out as i checked them out... yeah baby, me like that. hahaha at least i hope they were hot guys. and then as i was crossing 100ave, a man propositioned me. haha no he passed me an said *hey howsit going*....haha yeah i sound like a neanderthal. But hey sounds like a possible pick up line to me. har har. But alas i should go 2 bed, i have soooo much school work to do, and here i am slacking off. i'm supposed 2 finish my china 101 hw (which i wont cuz its not technically due) and then make my des 370 models (which if i dont do 2morrow i will finish on monday after mandarin class) and then study for accounting midterm (which i will try my best to make first priority) ooooh, btw i bought a pair of pretty earings on friday. except this is what happens when you buy them from kiosk people. one of the posts was like 2x as big as my ear hole, so i had 2 widdle it down 2 an appropriate size. and even after that i think they're like 16's, which is 2 big for my 18's and therefore my lobes are a bit swellish...yes, i said swellish ladies and gentlemen. haha me and felix watched eurotrip yesterday. it was funny....theres so many...penises

legato sama

so sad. my blind date was exactly like a bad episode of....*blind date* the most awkward moments of silence ever. i felt sad because he really didn't seem to get it that i only wanted 2 be friends. He was really REALLY not my type. i knew that from the 2nd day i talked to him. sob sob. i didn't go on msn for like 4 days because i didn't want 2 talk 2 him.... and i didn't want to block him becuase thats really mean and rude. Not to mention its happened to me before and i'd prefer to know that i also didn't place that feeling on someone else. So today i was dropping hardcore hints. but no avail. And FINALLY he asked me if he could see me again and i said *as friends sure, lets have cofee sometime* and then i got scared that he was going to freak out on me. buuuut he didn't. so that was good. yeaaah. PHEW load off my chest. oh and i think this is the first time that i feel absolutely positive that i passed a midterm. Yuuuup without a doubt. whooo weee. Now all i need is that damn donnie darko man to msg me and brighten up my week. Yaa-hooo. something else really funy happened. Me and sherry stayed after class in design to work on our projects and haha it was great. i shot a jolly rancher at her. hahaha me and her tell each other funny stories. aaaah. welp gonna go cut my own hair. bye everyboby. oh right, as for the title of this blog. on my blind date i went 2 comix hobby and found a legato figure. it was the happiest moment of my life.....well more like during those 3 hours. i found him hidden behind midvalley the hornfreak and zazie... i'm such a nerd. hahaha

doom doom doom

doom is the word around here. Sooo yeaaah. i've landed myself a blind date tomorrow. dont even ask. Well i guess its not really blind, like i've seen his picture hes seen mine, that sort. SOB SOB. i'm having horrible ideas already of awkward silences. So mean. From what i've gotten from him i think that the most we could be is just friends. Not saying that anythings not possible, but i just dont seem that interested in him. Boohoo how horrible is that. I hope i dont do another mitch job again. Althought this time i'd have to say that i was pretty careful. No abandoned back alleyway meetings for corinna this time, no SIR. gonna go meet him in a public area and do some public stuff... hohoh sneaky sneaky. (ooooh i'm going to burn in hell for this) but. I was like *imagining* hahaa. that..... thaaaat. my blind date wasn't really my blind date. and that it was the somebody that i used to like, playing a *prank* on me. Le sigh, wouldnt that be cute? hahah *no*? aaaw. i thought it would be. i'd be all innocent waiting *doodee doo doo* and then suddenly hey corinna how's it going (looks over) *who the hell are you, your not my blind date?!?* i know, but dont you recognize me?? (sexy smile) *oh my god, your ____* heh, i know, its nice to finally meet you. *thats a dirty trick you played on me pretending to be somebody else* yeah, sorry about that, but how else could i have gotten you out to come see me? end flashback. hahah its corny isn't it? plus what are the chances of that happening? like 10thousand million to zero. i'm assuming that since he stopped trying to woo me, (woo is a funny word hee hee) hes either gotten a steady girlfriend (possibly married), or just plain gone gay and std collecting. (yes if you ever read this this is what i say) I just recently considered the idea that maybe he got angry at me cuz i drew jess those pictures of him. but i dunno, with the exception of the big gay collage one, all of them were more 'positive' than negative. i'd take it as a compliment that someone liked me so much they drew pictures... hahah i'm childish. But yeah, i gotta go 2 sleep now, oh boy 6 hours of sleep then a blind date.....waaaaaaaaaah i'm scared god!!!!

goot gawd

i certainly hope this week is over soon, it SUCKS. I didn't even really care about it on tuesday, but i just noticed that its really REALLY shitty. First on tuesday i slept through my morning classes. which probably wasn't THAT bad. and then that same night i was talking to that internet guy i met, and he was like *lets go out for coffee now* (it was like...i dunno 11PM) and if i was a butch girl sure why not, but hell man i could get mugged (not saying that hes a mugger) but come on, i've known the guy for like...3 days, i dont really want to go meet you at midnight or go over to your house. So then i think he got *upset* and logged off. and then today, i went 2 my mandarin class and we had a test. And i was so angry cuz my mandarin instructor wrote the quizz out by hand and his characters were like....speed written. one of them was a complete scribble and i didn't know what it said and therefore coudln't form the sentence....or well rather i did but it was horrible. (no, what. you are teacher china) frick. and today in ID class... man dont even really wanna go there. but. i seriously blanked out while doing my presentation. so bad. SUCKS SHIT when you get super nervous infront of people like i do. thought i was going to hyperventilate really. and then. my instructor ignored me (shame) he was walking arund the tables seeing how everyone was doing. and he stopped at the girls in front of me and then told some funny stores. and then walked behind me for a couple seconds.... then. yup, went straight to my friend beside me.... so sad. I think he thinks either i'm super girly or i'm really stuck up. ERG if people really took the time to know me they'd know i was neither. HUFF so yeah. i hope this week is over soon cuz its sucking more by the minute. oy i havn't wrotten a rant in a long time. whats the world coming too.....

todaaay todaaay

i'm listening to the postal service right now. this is the song that dana listened to that i thought was super mario. hahah....today was a boring yet pretty funny day. Iris asked me if i wanted to volunteer for *festival of trees* and i thought she said *do you want to volunteer for testable diseases?* (hahahah say them both aloud.) and then i was talking to Jess and she was looking up halloween costumes on ebay, and she stumbled across all these fake teeth and she laughed so hard cuz there was this one...ONE guy modelling all the hillbilly/pirate/rotten teeth. and its not even a generic face hes got SUCH a distinguishable face. and the funny thing that i noticed that jess didn't.... the man was wearing no shirt as he modelled his teeth. how bizarre. Oh right. so i've taken the liberty of actually using that tickle/dating/friendmaking site that i signed up for like half a year ago. i actually have one mutual match! hoho i was so happy because usually none of the guys that i find interesting think the same about me. But this guy sounds pretty nice....not to mention he IS pretty (ohohoh) haha but alas, he didn't respond to the last msg i sent him. boo urns. This other guy did though and he added me to msn. aaaaaand (be hush hush) i dont really find him that fun to talk to. Like theres certain people i like talking to and can talk 2 them all day. But he seems to keep changing the subject back to his job. Which wouldn't be so bad if i knew anything about it but i dont. So basically it would be like me rambling on about the details of how my sewing project went and how i had to use a certain stitch because this other stitch didn't work because of some thing dumb. yeah total eyeball roll isn't it. hahah but its prolly just cuz its the first time i talked to him right? Oh right, my ID project i'm really stuck on. We're supposed 2 do a mood board for a certain era/style of architecture thats been chosen for us. and Jeff said that we can use anything to depict the mood (material, objects, pictures etc) and i was looking forward to that and all the purdy colors i oculd use. and low and behold i got *international style* The main characteristics of it? Oh stuff like function over fashion, practially no colors because the main materials they used were steel, cement and glass.... OH BOY. i dont know how i'm going to put steel on my mood board and i dont even want to think about cement.... boo hoo.... heeeeelp

hey stumpy

Thats probably what i'm going to be known as after i finish my des 370 class. I'm totally going to cut off a limb or something. aaah but its all good. oh boo, there was someting important i wanted 2 post up but i've forgotten. Something about these 2 weird dreams i had? I dreamt my foot some how dismembered itself from my leg. And then i dreamt that i bumped into a really old crush that i had in elementary school in the girls public bathroom. hahaha. Jenn told me that Bento Box C man works at joey tomatoes. hohoh he certainly is pretty. I will go there every day when jess comes out and be a creeper. hahaha jkjk. My design instructors are funny, he made a comment about a spatchloon (spatula + spoon) and i snicked for like 10 minutes straight. In 4 days i think i've met about 8 peoples who's birthdays are all in octber. Me and jenn came to the conclusion that me and her must have been valentines day accidents. hahaha. But anyways i can't seem 2 rmmeber what i was going to say. So i'm out sports fans.
