11:19pm: Took awhile... Am a bit torn between this dying and the non-codeness of LJ so I can't decide which I'm going to post at more frequently... Leaning towards the other, though there are so many things here that I'm too lazy to even try to move over there...

(Chatting up)

11:18pm: I'm a swim groupie. Oh, yeah, you know, there's just something about the smell of chlorine on a guy. Oh, baby.
This one was a bit questionable by way of quality compared to some of the others, but sitll good as it slightly shortened the unbearable Psych. This one featured a three hour "HOT SQUAD" epic (essentially a drill team) which was good but long-ish... It led me to think that DOLT's racist (as I again feel about my parents), though that might be as I'm bitter since he keeps interrupting me when I manage to talk to someone else. There was this questionable rap thing going on since they asked one of the more educated guys to don an afro wig which wasn't very successful as he seemed, though the guy's swim team made up for it (and the Kick Team/ Dance Whatever who had a super-spy routine that one of the sweetly cute, quirky, and really attractive girls accidentally forgot).

There seems to be some alternating during the assemblies on whether or not to have lots of gratuitous skin, and, yay, whole swim team minus shirts in their trunks except for the one guy who seems to have had the will to not (...or the self-image issues to not), and a single guy in a Speedo. Which actually, does still seem a bit dodgy... Still, it was a tall blonde guy. Sadness though as outright gawking might not have gone so well since I was right by a set of girls who were really vocal and noticeable in their rants of one of the particularly hawt Azn guys who was absent the day of the swimsuit thing. Plus me and formalwear equals badness and it ruined all will to be peppy except during the actual presentation I dressed for... which, didn't go well either, probably from the half hour of sleep.

Saturday add-on:Despite that goodness, I'm moping as for some reason everyone had the urge to tell me about their social events. Plus I'm missing out on the opening night joy of the Lord of the Rings opening despite that one of the teachers (cool ex-soccer player one) is doing some sort of gathering thing for the last movie's midnight showings.

Also with the mope since Blurty has conspired to prevent me from posting or even reading my journal despite many of my buddies' working... And this infomercial about this little stick that removes hair is grossing me out...

Sunday add-on: Have become (became) the bitter Asian guy. I blame the fun magazines they have at the Border's in Southcenter (...or Southcentre as it was purchased by an Aussie company or something... and technically it's more the Border's near Southcenter, just no one remembers the name of the city) which is a world of wacky wonderful fun. They've got magazines for nearly every major minority, and kinda curious why, since I don't recall even seeing some of this stuff in stores in Seattle. [Though largely as I hardly go to Seattle, and when I do it's a family thing not really to the boho or sexually stimulating shopping sorts of places (as in how Harrod's is so great that even I would... uh... this is just overall a not very redeemable sentence that can't possibly end well. Say something like 40 Days and 40 Nights's immaculate orgasm just not spurred by something as "beautiful" and "poetic" as flower petals.)].

There're an Asian pop-culture magazine (Giant Robot), which I didn't pick up since I couldn't tell how old it was, and it really way leaning towards pop culture in the sense of those Yummy Sushi pajamas http://www.sushilinks.com/sushi-pajamas.html and that sort of super deformed yet cute style of things. Then there were Asian hi-culture sorts of magazines (Monolid or Monocle, either way I'm still not sure I get it) but it was the one I bought and built up a lot of impassioned feelings regardless of my grasp on the issue at hand... Blah-di-blah, suppression of the Asian man while the women are stereotypically glamorous and inducted into that upper WASPy strata, How all Asian men are held up to the examples of Jet Li, Yao Ming or Ichiro (surprisingly he didn't even get a mention) or the stereotypical Long Duk Dong, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera... And the etc., etc., etc., is in itself stereotypical because of The King of I and the portrayal of the Siamese/Thai, the fact that the king was actually portrayed by a white actor in yellow face or whatever, and they kicked around the Sharpeis and Chinese Crested Dogs that were on set while spitting on the flags and desecrating the symbols of the country between takes...

Uh, there were also Asian women's interest magazines (Audrey, also a non-purchase), Jewish Today, something for either transsexuals or trans-culturals, assuming that the latter is actually a real thing I didn't just make up (I thought it was the Bohemian artistic anti-capitalist types) and that they're not the same, three issues of XY which I couldn't even glance at the subject of without getting looks from the crotchety crocheting old woman who doesn't actually buy anything ever buy sits and always looks through the magazines... Oh, there was also a single issue of X-Statix and the whole Princess-Diana-but-not thing that I even saw and touched but forgot to pick up when purchasing...

Oh, and then in random conversation with my parents the whole issue about "Louisiana school punishes 7-year-old for talking about lesbian mother, ACLU alleges" http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2003/12/01/national1736EST0669.DTL but that didn't quite turn out as yay as I would have hoped...

Good: After a brief explanation of what they had misunderstood, my parents (or mum at least) conceded that the mother was right to sue the school for an apology. I finally won an argument without there being too much lost of interest!

Bad: The particular reasoning was something along the lines of, "yes, the boy should not be in trouble for just explaining something, especially if it is something that her (this is a typo but there might have been some pronoun confusion anyways) mother was doing. Blah-di-blah, and-it-goes-on-like-this, I guess some things are still taboo in the culture." While trying to recall this, I became confused about what exactly was said though I can't remember if it was really all that quite negative... Still leaning towards that actually.

12:59am: Narcoleptic Argentinean
Wondering if this is enough to make me stop liking her. Not really anti-Republican, but Bush has kind of sullied them imo, aside from the fact many of the more prominent ones are old and conservative... Years of disgruntled public educators intentionally or not, have made me associate "conservative" with "witch burning" and the like...

Don't have much else to say really since I have the tendency to forget by the end of the day, and only remember it days later when the point is moot... Though I've discovered some sort of specific amount of lack of sleep where I'm bright and buoyant throughout the day since I'm easily pleased.

Got a Douglas Romayne Stevens CD from his management company which makes me giddy, were it not for the fact the computer still doesn't work so I can't play it yet.

This is all sort of balanced by some bad that's not overly so, that I missed Acala's appearance in the Elliot Bay Book Company store about her book Spirits of the Ordinary over the weekend and forgot to do or copy my homework before a class...

5:45pm: Anchovies, anchovies, you're so delicious, I love you more than all the other fishes
I wonder how many people I mislead here by mentioning good but obscure things that would make me peak on a Google search (like I've mentioned Robot Opera Singer Who Fight's Crime!" really often, which really is great...). I avoided looking at this all of November but a whole ton of non-me people keep stumbling across this. Considering I haven't been getting anonymous comments (or any really) I'm not sure if that should make me more or less worried, and I can't actually check where the people are coming from since the thing that's supposed to be at the bottom of the page obviously isn't.

2:27pm: Cheerleaders are dancers who have gone retarded
I actually did go to the cheer thing, and what a world of fun that was for four-ish hours. It ranged from impressive to actually rather scary actually, as it was essentially like every movie I've ever seen involving beauty pageants, and obviously, cheerleading. Unfortunately(-ish?) I didn't see very much of it, since every time I looked away then the audience got really enthusiastic... I noted that it seems almost as if there're CDs of the cheerleading genre as in most of the cases the way the music was ripped and mashed together sounds nearly exactly the same as all the other routines...

My school did kinda disappointingly considering their big pro-cheer leaning, though they did have the most males of any of the other teams, and actually, possibly as all the other (28) teams/squads together? The individual tumbling was pretty impressive but the stunting involving spotting and flyers, and all what other little terminology I picked up was a bit less impressive, mostly since the... whatever doesn't have any anorexic girls who are easy to pick up and throw.

Shamelessly hit on the others who were stuck working with flowers, and saw HOT guy (...that's still a bad acronym but I can't recall the one I came up with in the math entry which I lost... Hot, Overwhelmingly Tall), though there was a general lack of what I was kinda hoping for, cheerleaders of... controversial sexuality. There were some MILFs oddly enough though... uh... that acronym is actually much too hip and vulgar for me. And the words hip and vulgar instantly sends my mind into naughty directions...

I was stuck with the least macho thing possible, even less so than actually being a cheerleader, for I was the guy who did stuff with flowers. FUCKING FLOWERS. (Which were actually pretty nice looking.) I noted how everyone went to the girls instead, despite me being the guy standing right in front of the money box fondling all the money... (which I did, aside from tallying, tying and curling ribbon though poorly, setting up rose stem ends with these weird tubes, and jamming them into said tubes) On one hand: They're more comfortable dealing with other females (or females in general as there's the chance of hitting on them if male), who are less likely to totally destroy their precious carnations and roses and curled ribbons. On the other: The haircut is that damn off-putting.

I actually have a worse cut from my sister's magazine than I do having to deal with the thorns and mini-thorns of over three dozen roses, as this time I've drawn blood. GTG. Though I think should I ever end up doing one of these things again, I'd dress as goth-punky as possible but be bouncy with bright bubbly goodness as opposed to guy nursing a cold o' doom.

1:57am: You're a liar and a thief!
Not sure if I misunderstood it, but Average Joe is lacking of the average when the options are either a hot guy, who lives with his parents (...and why is that? Since that's a negative according to the promos probably, as it should be since he's probably 30-ish), or a millionaire, who's a FRICKIN MILLIONARE. Now it mostly matters if she picks based on appearance or wealth essentially...

Day off #2: Slightly less wasted. Got a tad bit-ish further in Spirits of the Ordinary which is quite... quirky and kinky, for required reading in high school. It's got me interested despite not having a single clue what it's about. Nor anything about the Kabbalah (I think), Jewish or native persecution in Spain, the slightest thing about Judaism aside from what I've learned from Chrismakkah and other holiday specials, androgynous oddly identical twins despite different genders, soldiers, or mysticism/"mystecism", if there's a difference.

And so far, I've aside from lacking a social life which I still find incredibly tragic, I've learned that despite being shunt into the category of sensitive smart-ish guy, I'm still shallow enough to be like any [teenage?] male and not compare to females filled with angst.

Think I'm gonna go help @ a cheerleading thing in 8 hours. That's going to be four hours of awkward awkwardness... [well the cheerleaders of either gender aren't so attractive to me now, so that doesn't make for stuttering (I can stutter now instead of stumbling over letter pronunciation!) but I don't really know any of them that well to the point where there's non-stilted conversation if any at all. Nor do I really talk to the people who I volunteered to volunteer with.]

Then now I've got a haircut. Shorter: Yay, so that it no longer blinds me every time I move my head. Sucks-beyond-the-telling-of-it: Well, that'd be bad. Actually like the old one now...

Saw Akira Kurosawa's Dreams this morning and aside from just hair, my whole head is in a world of hurt...

Wow... effort was put into these graphics for once... The first time I did this I ended up with the "nearly perfect so something secret must be screwed up" but that was pre-bad hair cut, and then I expected to get the geek result once I knew it existed, since that essentially defined me (There was a Firefly reference! Firefly! Short lived TV show maybe to become movie, that featured Nathan Fillon's Ass!) but this might make sense.

9:41pm: If I was bleeding out my eyes, you guys would make me go to school.
True, were it not for the fact that I didn't quite have school today. And so far...

Day off #1: Squandered.

And as for the full actual days of school this week...

# of times mistaken to be Mexican: 11/2 (...that's just weird. And surprisingly, the two girls, when trying to see where from Asia my background was, they didn't mistake me for Korean), # of lost things found (of 3): two; times someone petted me [though] in a bland doglike manner: 3.

Right now, after failing miserably at the Buffy: Chaos Bleeds video game (it's better than I thought, but it may have the most inane puzzles ever) though impressively succeeding at part of FFX-2, being amazed at the general lack of stuff on slightly expanded basic cable (which isn't expanded to the fullest as we all of a sudden lost the one Christian religious propaganda one), I'm continuing my APT APE (...that didn't work well as an acronym... "Asian Poser Thing Although Posing English"... the whole thing about really be Asian and just non of the whole fighting anime-slaying thing), watching that XMA (I think eXtreme Martial Arts which I might excuse weird capitalization for) special on the Discovery channel.

Most of the people are pretty attractive, and the guys have the tendency to not wear shirts which might be sorta questionable to my potentially suspicious parents since I'm pretty sure they're not dense enough to not catch any of the [metaphorical] anvils. Though anvils, as I just noticed, could be a bit much to handle so they just ignore them? Anyways, I remember hearing about this from someone at school who's the typical white guy poser who still kicks everyone's ass at stuff. Best pronunciation in Spanish as even better than the Mexican guy, knows more Japanese than the Asians (for the most part I think), outdraws the bohemian artists, out-subtexts the gay guy... Which would be me as far as I know, plus he out-geeks me but in the positive way which simply makes him the quirkily unique guy.

1:49am: All the things she said
Acting as a go-between, but not currently in a Seth Cohen or "IknowthisbecauseTylerknowsthis" sense as not to people with intimate relationship problems. Still kinda annoying though. The existence of him and Seth Green made me over quickly theorize that all fictional youngish people named Seth are attractive. This became more evident once I remembered that Seth Green is not actually Daniel Osbourne despite however many people [mistakenly?] describe him like his character.

Oh, and I saw a picture, and when did the actually gay guy of Queer as Folk end up looking good? Longer hair equals yay. Though I still think the UK version might have featured a better looking cast... That might just be because of Stuart (I think... I saw part of the first episode of the UK version as opposed to... less of one episode in the middle of the US version.) and the accents though. (Yes, I noticed that accents don't actually have any effect on looks given the aural nature). Then I missed Amy Acker's appearance on the Sharon Osbourne show despite in theory being able to watch it, and am kinda saddened. Not sure if it's something I just noticed now, but she does this cute little scrunchy thing with her nose when she laughs... And I swear that's out of a bad romantic comedy. The bastards have ruined me, and I don't even watch those movies that often!

And I still want a LiveJournal. Bah. Despite the fact these are all essentially the same thing, that one happens to have a bigger realm.


Again I've waited two or more hours after starting a post to actually get it up. Ugh. Prat

9:57pm: It's going to be awhile before I can think of a subject...
...Thanksgiving food goodness. Still think the union of white rice and turkey is a bit strange, though it might be more disappointment at the lack of potatoes. Or bread?

And then I'm kinda finding the holiday ads annoying... Not just this and that of The Cat in the Hat, but the one, two, three, four rings in Verizon ads for Return of the King. Then there's... Vannessa Williams, I Will Survive, JC Penny and an old school overdone musical, and those Hallmark ads which should be self explanitory once someone's seen them.

10:49pm: Specific wrongs on specific people
Grr. No more Angel until like January or something... However, I was... well, actually going to watch Jake 2.0 but the whole fact that everyone talks about The OC as if it's the next coming of the whatever is kinda annoying and makes me curious.

I am torn between loathing and liking...

Good:
Reference is made to Marcie Ross! Yay! That's hopefully intentional? (The name of the invisible psycho girl from Buffy.)
The cast is kinda pretty.
They use "______ much?" which I'm a bit undecided on whether or not to like it or be bothered since it really can be annoying sometimes...
Texty gay subtext!
Arch-enemy bonding!
More enemy bonding!
Slightest bit of role reversal!
Russell Crowe-ish guy can look kind of cute even when cross eyed while trying to be exasperated.

Bad:
It does air against Angel and Jake 2.0 and The West Wing...
Some of the cast is not so pretty sometimes.
I can no longer use slang without reminding myself of teen dramas now.
They're old-ish (or non-young adult actors pretending to be teenagers) gay people, and it's of the "family ruiny" variety where there's a negative to the gaiety.
It isn't arch-enemy bondage like I had originally accidentally typed.
Neither of the two girls who collectively got over the guy are really that cute. The geek guy can only attract the not too attractive?
Most things are exactly the archetypical "middle aged woman who gossips", "mean jock" "geeks only make strange references"... Then the blonde girl who's supposed to be the smart one of the geek guy's gals looks no more intelligent than the other girl... and they're both annoying.
...even if it is accurate, having characters say even the least bit seriously "Everwoody" as a joke... someone needs to be bludgeoned.
Some of their footage looks like they took a camcorder and recorded a web-cam off of an CRT monitor.
I know it's California and more specifically Orange Country, but does everyone have to have blonde hair and blue eyes?
Stupid broad statements like, "my whole life has been a lie," despite it being - "what does it even matter..." ?! Aiya...
Passive agressive fest.


Eh, the fact it's against Angel bothers me the most... Power to the protesting proletariat potato people! Picket the various networks to move things around their schedules so all the interesting things don't air at the same time.

...feeling more geeky than usual since I've apparently been playing FFX-2 for like eight hours... Yay! ^_^ Though the fact the game sort of revolves around clothing in order to skate around with perfect hair fighting crime is only going to make me want to do something radical to my appearance even more so. *wonders if there happens to be a straight/flat/whatever iron in the house for either male anime-y flounciness or Ryan Seacrest hair*

1:51am: Wait... so Ben is Glory?
When was the whole rated R thing dropped to 17? Did I just never bother noticing or...? ^_^ Amused and somewhat joyed by this despite the fact it announces my age, though it would have been great had I noticed this much earlier... Though I'm still not really movie going-ish, since I lack even a close knit geek clique. Still kinda annoying that I live nowhere near any of my closer-ish friends. Then blah-di-blah, again with the essentially pre-teen-angst stylings.

11:31pm: Short Round and the Cup of Perpetual Torment!
Since cups are metaphorically female for reasons instantly obvious even to gay male teenagers, and then I've overused "evil bitch monster from hell" or variations there of... I was going to have something else there except it made me think of cunning linguists and other single entendres and that would just be even more disturbing than the already disturbed emotional distressions.

Aiya... Oy. Think I'm going to be extremely paranoid for maybe the rest of my life... This all kinda depends really. Bah. Is there some sort of non-drug way of becoming laconic and terse yet sexily silent? Other than being in a band?

2:02am: Isn't that vierd?
Thought I was full of bubbly goodness but this song "Reach for the Stars" bothers me a lot more than I thought it did. Not sure if it meets (or even surpasses) the tragic car wreck of "The Fast Food Song".

Otherwise my mood is kinda blank. Not suicidal blank (such as... I'm gonna dub her Angie since she's a peach and has a passion for music like Angie Hart, but she's also rather similar to Angelina Jolie in my opinion, just not as tall, scarily pouty, incestuous, or attracted to guys named Billy Bob), so much as neutral blank. Blank blank. Devoid of a pro-/anti- leaning?

Good: Three day week! Ends with "k" which rhymes with yay, and... this whole thing seems a bit excessively gay. I just can't pull off this enthusiasm that well?
Bad: It was actually more like a two and a half day week, but then I still have three tests.
Good: Hot guy who's nickname I never remember may or may not have exchanged a significant look? ^_^ vaguely giddy
Bad: Hormone addled brain is torn between this, or Angie's Jolie/Girl Interrupted-esque turn of life. Interestingly, I think there's been IM-age going on for the last... three years, but we've never actually talked with each other (despite being able to in theory, for about a third of that time)?
Good: Michelle Tratchenberg is in a movie! And her hair is flouncy to the MAX
Bad: She's beyond being the pushy queen of slut town. I'm rather sure she's probably playing some sort of German "scarlet lady" of loose morals, and that site has one of the worst websites ever so far. Despite all the skin of both genders (which I actually could have done without on part of some of the males), there's no subtlety whatsoever in the... I think wheels and various tall phallic buildings. And didn't the movie used to be called Ugly Americans and sound a lot more like an innocent romp? Also bad, that thing I kind of have for school uniforms (odd since it would annoy me to no end if I was stuck with them) reminds me of how eerily I am close to ending up as one of those older guys who lust after Lolita-like relationships.

Assuming this is the right pic... I don't mind being a bandwidth theft, since the site deserves to be punished for even having a comment section considering what posts there. )

23rd November 2003

7:34pm: Disaster-riffic
Had a strange dream that made no sense and I have no idea how to interpret it... It involved a car filled with, in hindsight, way too many people than humanly possible, a bookstore/my house/a coffee place/class room, Harry Potter, The Ring, and a huge number of classmates, mostly female. Then there was something involving a rain, a maybe killer talking pastry... Oh, and hair color was important for some reason.

I now have FFX-2 which fills me with giddy joy, since the game isn't quite nearly as serious/moody as the others in the series. Also got the Buffy: Chaos Bleeds game since stores are aren't quite treating it like a plague so much, as they are some sort of STD. Rather than keeping the price up and not selling any copies and keeping it rather contained in a store shelf isolation, they've decided to lower the price as to spread it to others. A bit disappointed since for some reason, battles axes do not in fact behead any vampires, or do anything except pummel the vamp in order for you to then grab a toothpick as stake them in the crotch. And the sound is kind of awful imo, though she sounds kind of more like Aly's character in American Pie... "My name is Willow? And this one time, in your room Buffy, Tara and I...? Oh, this is going to be handy, Tara's gonna like Nurse Willow?" Then in general there's an awkward nothingness when there aren't some pretty good sound effects. maybe it's just a bit fuzzy...

Oh, also, I can't remember whether or not I kept track of things here around this time of the year yet, but the music I'm listening to might lead to a world of teen angst for exactly the same reason. Except now since I don't really see a reminder everyday (...though I actually do, now I think of it, just not for 90 minute stretches of time) and have kind of gotten over it, just as the guy in my hot icon has gone beyond ridiculous in being all carefully tousled and rakish. New thing with Keira Knightley who's a goddess though.

11:27pm: In all the places you find love it feels like Christmas
...Or Hanukkah for the Jewish/protesting bohemian non-Christian/non-capitalists... And Kwanzaa's not so much a religious holiday, but like a supplemental cultural holiday, right? I've forgotten what I learned from SNL and Kwanzaa-bot. Winter Solstice and Gurnenthar's Ascendance aren't quite biggies, but them too.

Bah humbug, I had an entry yesterday but yet again forgot to post it before turning off the computer. Can't remember what I talked about, other than how I've replaced my icons with (sometimes) even worse ones which I had to make with Paint, which limits me to cropping pictures, and then making them look really pixilated (aside from the ability to add text, which, if it does turn out, is also annoying since I've got to make them multi-purpose so I get around to using them, and since I can't make animated gifs, more text means less legibility).

However, it's snowing if barely! That never happens in my area ever... There's this warm costal water thing going on, so we don't often get quite the right temperature. That'd be snow in the first place, let alone when it's still fall-ish! I'm filled with premature Christmasy/holiday Muppety goodness. I might be able to even see the beginning of that new-ish Muppet TV movie that I partially missed last year that they only showed reruns of on a cable channel...

Also, I've come to accept Jade from Sweetbox, despite the fact she has different lyrics and infliction from Koda Kumi. Would love it if there were to all of a sudden be high quality versions of the songs online, but eh, it's good enough. It does keep me from making a mix CD that actually has very little mixing... (I'd be torn between which of the five versions of Real Emotion and seven of 1000 Words that I have that I should put on a CD if not all... which wouldn't even fit on a CD I think.)

And Natalie Portman is rumored to be the forerunner for the part of Lois Lane which seems dodgy since she's nearly ten years younger than some of the potential leads as Superman... IMDB just announced it which, despite the fact I always use it for star info, I get the impression it would probably have been refuted somewhere since that story was first on SHH...

Booyaka! Samuel L. Jackson is in talks to play Nick Fury apparently, of that ridiculous acronym SHEILD, which I try so hard at, but can never come up with any... I actually doubt it since the character rights might be under dispute, but that means there could be an Ultimates movie... He's involved with The Incredibles which sounds a bit like the Fantastic Four series, which bothers me only in the sense that it could lower the revenue of the actual FF movie which has been delayed...

Also, went to a discussion about Fight Club which interested me since the teacher was a geek in the good way sorta, and he was kinda quirky (brushed his teeth while talking, and I think he swallowed the toothpaste) and he like me, kinda liked the book but not in the sense of how the characters were exactly... Still kind of optimistic since I got the impression the book wasn't quite as bleak in the ending, but I doubt that many people caught that or interpreted it the same way... Curious how the movie ended though. and with the fighting, tonight's Angel episode or what I caught of it, had a fight scene between two characters that took up about half the episode? They can still do big budget looking massive fight scenes! ^_^

Other joy, my hair does have a noticable red tint! Considering I'm Asian and haven't done anything weird chemically with it yet (bleaching, streaking, or whatever it is that makes the hair that kind of cool bronzey orange), I'm incredibly impressed and pleased with this. Especially since I don't see any chance of artifically changing it unless I were to befriend someone within the next few months who dabbles in bleaching hair. If only I had cable and could watch QEfTSG then I'd pick up something that could eventually be useful... How do those red stripes on black hair work anyways?

Huh. I've been full of angst for the last while...

Had some sort of induction into honor society which confuses em a bit since I got the impression that was only for newbies, yet there were a couple of people I had assumed to have already been honoured that showed up...Also not fun since there was generally really loud hushed speaking on my parent's part blah blah blah, etc... Was tossed a cookie I think to make up for them not calling me, or getting my name wrong...

Then after that there was foodstuffs provided, I exchanged mildly signifigant looks with a classmate once she and her mum sat down with my parents at a table, which is always an awkward thing for me... She's really great and has a artistic leaning ^_^, thus essentially meaning I want to be bohemian like her, and I can't tell if she's just being nice, or if I'm still reading too much into this as I have with all previous encounters with... well actually both genders...

I've felt uncharacteristically (imo) bitter recently, and I blame trippy hair. Think as soon as I get sick of fixing my drug essay (teacher still equals a psycho evil bitch monster of death, I'm going to sleep or try to fix hair... sleep more likely.

1:09am: "We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them."
Gosh she's blunt... And hot. So why is Famke Janssen always evil?! Just saw I Spy and even from the cover you can tell she's evil since she's all hot and sultry temptressy, and early on in the movie mistakes the less annoying (and though more attractive) lead to be an S&M masochist with a big pain fetish. And whoa, she's older than I expected (38)... Still, her and Owen Wilson's combined prettiness and delivery make up for the rest of the movie. Eddie Murphy... he's always loud and over the top and while that actually works in this movie, he's still annoying and a bit of a chauvinist...

OH, also, that Amazon "30 second clip of a song" thing has got to be one of the worst things on Earth. I frankly lack the patience to wait for downloads to proceed, and when they do work they're all clippy, and I have no idea whether or not I'm going to want to buy a CD based on one song. That said, I actually do think that Dido might not be bad based on that music video with David Boreanaz. I regardless if the CD is complete crap or not, I'm going to buy a copy of Utada's debut or two. She's all woman. She's every woman! She's Wonder Woman! ^_^ !

10:11pm: Look at you. You don't even have a name tag. You don't stand a chance, just lie down on the floor.
And there endeth any screen time I would have had in a movie. While I'm rather sure if doesn't happen often anyways, I certainly wouldn't have ended up with the FIGWIT treatment... That said, I would have been the only Azn elf in MiddleEarth...

I'm just incredibly lazy... Haven't actually been posting in anyone else's journals (all three people... discovered that I was added to someone's friend list without noticing) nor have I made any backgrounds for my blurty (then again my only graphic tools are MS Paint, Microsoft Word, and the "control + PrtSc" function), started my homework, or worked out.

Apparently I actually am relatively thin-ish (rib cage showing apparently isn't a normal thing, though I'm going to have to go into research for that since normally my mind tends to blank when I see someone who is, in all seriousness, haaawwt.) though still feel a bit disgusting around "mah' belly" (do you have any idea how hard to type belly or anything else in an accent? Also annoying, as shown in the Harry Potter books, what aside from the speaking in all caps, and the- heck, I actually like the books, never mind.) since I lack "the abs" which any self-respecting gay guy or A&F preppy poser must have apparently...

I was just reading peopleses' Xangas which were just completely depressing me and making me all bad moody because everyone else seems to have their something... but I'm distracted by whether or not directors have got groupies. Not that I aspire to become a director (...any more), but I've seen The Usual Suspects finally and think that Bryan Singer equals... something good that doesn't come to mind, and probably won't since I'm getting yelled at again and should cut short my babble. I still hope that Bryan Singer still directs the third X-Men movie though... Good director, geek-ish, talented, isn't afraid to have gotten the bad bleach job that proclaims his sexuality... blah blah blah, etc, more false idolatry, must leavequicklynow.

10:41pm: "Be not afraid"? What's with that?
Annoyed with The Poisonwood Bible, if mostly only since everyone else in my class goes intot hese long biblical ties which I don't understand int he least bit, so I can't get a word in edge-wise and thuse get a lower grade. However, apparently I'm an okay hugger (no panicking!) which was an upside. Have no idea what exactly I did do, so I'm assuming sponaneity is important.

Felt really talkative today though also moody since for some reason and I couldn't tolerate most of the people I talk to on a regular basis (including though not limited to DOLT). I blame THE OC in part but don't feel like explaining that right now... Also, it airs against Angel which is another strike. More on TV, Joan of Arcadia I really almost like except I kind of find myself bored with it really often, which I think is contributed in part by the fact it airs on CBS (and has low production values). Tru Calling has slightly better writing for its second episode and it's pretty cast is an upside, but eh.

Now I'm going to sleep for I'm incredibly lethargic and have to be up tomorrow for something I'm kinda worried about, at the crack of dawn or a whip or why the heck am I still awake.

1:54am: I'm going to that special hell...
Hm... For some inexplicable reason there was a Veteran's Day assembly today (Thursday actually as I just started this a bit past midnight), despite that they're normally done on Fridays...

The gym has a new and extremely pretty (or shiny rather) wood or faux wood floor, though the tarp implies that they're still not done repairing... or they don't want the chairs to damage anything? Might figure out which next week when we have the "Welcome Back" assembly (which I think is off by some two months, though for all I know it could be an obscure tradition that's lost or changed meaning such as the background of Homecoming) since I'm assuming they'll remove the tarps for the cheerleaders', breakdancerses, and hobbitses' safety.

exceedingly long tangent )

Oh, I also remembered that I used to (aside from updating this daily) post those personality quizzes with giant picture results. This one I'm not certain about since some of the answer choices kind of confused me (as some may have applied more than others or equally, etc)... Not sure if there's an un-hip subdued/mellow equivalent?

10:18pm: Ahahahaha, "I proud my honor roll student, my other car a Lamborghini!" Heheheh...That is rubber, right?
Zoinks, it's really hard to tell when I should be taking people with the utmost seriousness or tell if they're kidding... The Landover Baptist Church or Americhrist Ltd. site seemed to be rather clearly satire, though some other various sites [which] are apparently part of a network are a bit more dubious... oh, and they did make me a bit curious since how does one believe in dinosaurs and God considering the whole "age of the world" thing? Anyways, there's just this sheer number of sites that are interconnected and I can't tell if they're serious since normally I didn't think the parody sites went into so much detail... Plus I don't really have enough time to go through the sites and find one of those handy dandy exclaimers (since those links pretty much found themselves...)

1:08am: The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage (background) as a negative is - I collect your fucking head.
I think I would maybe use this line were it not for the fact I have Deppiean tendencies towards the current US administration... Oh, including "stop blowing holes in my ship!" and "where's the rum!?"

Oh, yay, I'm important enough to have gotten one of those Nigerian president bank scam thingies. From Mr. Raymond Adeseun? Contactable at adeseunray@themail.com or prudentplc@financier.com? God I hope I'm not going to be beaten to death for that... Have much better things to be killed for.

Saw Kill Bill with my parents cause of the under 18 thing, though I really doubt I'm going to be able to see the second half... My mum was really not one for the gory mayhem, and they seemed to collectively not really "get" the film... Like one of the things they particularly pointed out was essentially, "She brought a sword aboard a plane? She can't do that!" They also thought that Chiaki Kuriyama who played Gogo was attractive and "lovely" as opposed to me, who was terrified by her. Not sure which one of us has a closer to normal response, but before judging, note that for me it might partially be since as far as I know, her characters have all castrated someone. Another thing that I focused on was the fact that the main character (and I don't feel that I'm spoiling anything at all) killed a large group of young-ish kids though in a very artistic manner. Or at least I'm rather sure that she killed at least one, and probably if not killed, maimed the rest such as at least one severed foot. Somewhat in her favor, she didn't kill the one surviving kid once she could actually see him.... Don't get why the version in Asian areas (or at least Japan) is so much more violent though... (Like I've heard that they might drop the fade to black and white during particularly brutal battle which annoys me since I have a morbid curiosity to see what I'll be missing despite the gore)

Tressant supreme! Yay, I now think I love Kelly Ripa no matter how oddly energetic she is yet still not the to-me-appealingly bubbly person. And I took forever kind of doing this, but I think that the SpyGlass sketch on SNL is adorable!
