List ten things you want to say to people but know you never will.
- Don't say who they are.
- Disable comments.
- Never discuss it again.
1. Really vague, but fairly angry and bitter phrase.
2. Express regret, blame self, wish things had turned out better.
3. Something that refers to a childhood friend. Maybe regret, OR possibly slight idolization.
4. Short, angry, and ever so slightly bitchy comment
5. Long paragraph about something that happened in the past
6. More vague-ness, with just a tinge of regret.
7. Criticism about someones personality OR praise and a wish to become that person
8. Transparent comment, we all know who you're talking about. Kind of wish it'd been more vague.
9. Apology to... someone... somewhere.
10. A nice, most likely long one, usually with praise and hope and wishing and all that good stuff to try and make everyone else forget 1-9. Doesn't succeed in erasing what's already been typed. You've already unleashed a monster that will slowly devour everyone's sense of security. Nicely done. Snaps for you.
Have I pretty much summed it up?

I don't snort crack, my other personality does
Dec. 4th, 2006 | 01:31 am
So I was getting ready to take a shower and happened to take a look in the mirror and was shocked to see a white blotch on my nose.
Dear god, I thought, this explains everything. Waking up every night, sprawled on the floor of Office Depot, hands sticky and stuck together, no memory of what happened... or what my phone number was. My second personality was a full-blown glue addict.
Then I realized it was just the marshmallow from the hot chocolate that I'd been drinking 10 minutes ago.
Now there's absolutely no explanation for the closetful of empty Elmer's glue bottles in my room.

I love:
a fresh pack of colored flashcards still bound in plastic
when you manage to peel the skin of a clementine so that you're left with one unbroken coil
when no one's looking and you smash your face into whatever you're eating and snarf it up
when you find a quarter on the ground
NCS hot chocolate in the morning
getting compliments on something you didn't even realize was pretty
new shoes that don't make your feet hurt
conversations with your dog
rainy sunday mornings where you're the only one home and there's no school on Monday
thinking there's going to be a work-out when you show up for practice, and instead it's a game of Foxes and Hounds
when you know every answer on a quiz
a plain Einstein Bro's bagel
swirled, soft-serve icecream after a movie with friends
the first week of winter break
when you realize that someone misses you (score, you think, i'm important)
a nice angst piece with words like breathtakingly beautiful (just... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
re-discovering old albums
realizing you weren't such an ugly baby
finding an old shirt that's just PERFECT for running in
when I'm dozing off on the car ride home after practice and a Beatles song comes on
when someone that normally doesn't say hi to you does
when you read or watch something that makes you squeal and roll around clutching your heart (ex; Daniel Vosovich)
a hot and soft peanut butter cookie
drinking sprite with a slice of lemon in your mouth
polish water ice on the boardwalk
sand sculptures (even if they are usually always Jesus)
a good inside joke
stretching after a run
running in the snow (haha, he just slipped)
that peaceful feeling you get after swimming
fresh laundry
uncontrollable laughter that gives you a hernia
a good Garfield comic
Oh I could go ON and On and ONONONONONONON

Because my Microsoft Word isn't working and my handwriting is unintelligable, I feel compelled to make my lists here. A temporary fix for the computer virus that is not so secretly worming its way through the isolated bowels of my decades old computer. Ooooh, creepy image.
Things I Hate (haha, how typical of a hormonal teenager still shaking off mannerisms belonging to a preteen):
1. When a guy feels compelled to pay for things. Movie tickets, food, whatever. I mean, now it feels like I owe you something. What, you want a blowjob in your popcorn bucket? Well, since you paid for it, why not? It's just uncomfortable, and then I have to mutter things like, "you didn't have to do that", while you feel like some sort of modern white knight.
2. When you're napping in the car after school and the radio station happens to be on 99.5 and your dad is driving and you hear, through the layers of sleep, if you don't wanna make love, we can just cuddle up, and if you don't wanna cuddle up, we can just make looooovvveee and you know it's too late to change the station, but you also know that those lyrics will be repeated at least six more times. Cringe...
3. When no one just listens to you when you're angry. They make jokes, change the subject, tell you you're overreacting, well of COURSE i'm overreacting BITCH, I'm ANGRY. Just FUCKING LISTEN! The longer they make you wait to purge all these feelings, the more irrational you (actually I) get.
4. When you're in the middle of a fight with someone on AIM and just when you're about to throw in a really clever comment, your computer shuts the program down. When you finally log back on, the person has signed off too. Now you look like a pussy and no one really buys the whole MY COMPUTER DID IT alibi.
5. When you overhear people talking about someone that MAY be you and MAY NOT be you. Now you can't be completely angry at them, but you still get the full blow of paranoia. Good stuff
6. When you want to strangle someone, but can't
7. When everyone's talking about this party they all went to and they all KNOW you didn't go, so now you have to put on this cool act that involves pretending to read a book, that fake laugh, and avoiding all eye contact. Even worse is when they're all PLANNING a party and you're right there while they're wondering who to put down for the guest list. You can't join in, because they haven't said if you're invited or not, so you keep hearing names, but they never just say to you, oh yeah, of course you're invited, and let you quash all those insecure feelings.
8. Run-on sentences like the one above
9. When it's snowing and you're hoping really really hard that school will be cancelled and you end up waking up five times in the night to check if the snow has covered the roads, then you wake up and every school but yours has been cancelled. Oh yeah, and you also have to run outside with all the white just MOCKING YOU
10. When people fish for compliments by whining about how much they suck at something. They know they don't suck and they know you know they don't suck, therefore they are sure to be showered with "OMG, you SO do not suck, you ROCK".
11. Long lines
12. Asian grandmothers
13. My mother's best friend's daughter, who is popular, confident, wins piano and horse riding competitions, is supposedly a talented writer, goes to Sidwell (my first choice school that put me on the waiting list), and is bored with her life. OH yeah, and she's two years younger than me.
14. Being compared to my three year old cousins who have a bigger Chinese vocabulary than I do. Oh yeah? Well I can fucking speak ENGLISH.
15. The fact that my brother can't even understand his own name in chinese, but my cousins like him better than me
16. The fact that I know my dad thinks I have no chance of getting into a good college. I can see him mentally preparing himself for the rejection letters. Gee... thanks?
17. The fact that I'm wasting time writing this hate list instead of studying for the SATs
18. When infomercials trick you into buying the Magic Bullet and it's just a stupid blender, but smaller and more expensive
19. When you realize that your summer has been reduced to watching the Food Network and having cravings for whatever they're cooking
20. Rants like the one above.

Jul. 4th, 2006 | 11:21 pm
1. Spotted Dick is NOT a penis during a measles epidemic nor slang for genital herpes, but an English dessert made with some sort of bread pudding and raisins. Oh those wacky englishpersons
2. Pudding means dessert. Pudding also means pudding. So hot pudding could either be a hot dessert... or microwaved pudding. Oh those perplexing englishpersons
3. Another few word anomalies. Fries are chips and chips are crisps. Cookies are biscuits, trash is rubbish, trash can is rubbish bin, soccer is football, football is american football, CNN is BBC, sketchy is dodgy, and teasing is taking the piss. Oh those topsy-turvy englishpersons
4. There is no airconditioning, but there ARE windows without mosquito screens. Easy to open, even easier to catch malaria. Oh those environmentally aware englishpersons
5. Due to the collapse of the American dollar, one pound equals two dollars. Automatically, everything you buy costs twice as much. Meaning the 99 pence McNuggets you purchased at McDonalds are not 99 cents. They are 1.98. On the bright side, no tax. Oh those double or nothing englishpersons
6. The Changing of the Guard is nothing more than a highschool football (the American meaning) game halftime featuring a glorified marching band. The posh red uniforms and all that marching in unison do make up for the fact you've been standing for an hour staring at the sweat soaked shirt an inch away from your face, completely blinded by the thirty so people in front of you and uncomfortably close to the 70 something people around you. And of course there are those unsightly grey bars that prevent any fanatics from taking out the tuba player. Oh those "let's take advantage of stupid tourists" englishpersons
7.At first, riding the Tube (subway) may be an adventure. All those people, and passageways, and the "MIND THE GAP" warnings. But after a few days of trying to make sense of the map with all those stupid lines that seem to change colors every time you blink and the fact that the English are always to busy to apologize when they step on your foot, you wonder why the school couldn't shell out a few more pounds for taxis and doubledecker buses. Oh those "because we have narrow streets and refuse to change, NO CARS" englishpersons
8. Doubledecker buses are just regular buses, sitting on the top only means an extra flight of stairs to climb. They are, however, airconditioned. SCORE! Oh those "let's stack a bus on top of another one and paint it red" englishpersons
9. At first a British accent is charming. How very Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. Then you realize you're now speaking in a slightly English way. Soon you start saying rubbish, and dodgy, and crisps. That's all very fine and good, but when even the voice inside your head is english, it's time to leave. Oh those "we abhore a faux accent but we are the reason for them" englishpersons
10. You might think, well, I'm going to Britain, why not fly British Airlines for more authenticity. But when they cancel the flight, take two hours to ship you into the nearest hotel, take off an hour late, have no air conditioning, then go ahead and lose your luggage, it's a good idea to switch back to United, because having to wear the same shirt and the same jeans until you can get to the mall because the majority of your summer outfits were packed into the now MIA suitcase is too big a price to pay for authenticity. Oh those fucking english bastards

Tong Hua
May. 17th, 2006 | 09:24 pm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4y0E2qS sTI
Sweetest chinese music video EVER... not that I've seen many
ACK, my asian attachments are here and attacking me with a vengeance. I am currently listening to an asian radio system thanks to the internet and watching this weird incestuous Korean soap opera...
Anyways, the music video is for Guang Liang with his wonderful song Tong Hua (fairy tale). Don't worry, it has english subtitles
It basically plays the song three times and has scenes added in... which was weird.
Also has the most AWKWARD make out scene EVER, i thought the reason the girl got a bloody nose was b/c they were bumping into each other so much.
Still... very sweet, and even better if you speak Chinese (which is like no one who will read this).
Love love love him.

I can't believe...
May. 14th, 2006 | 03:13 pm
mood:
guilty
I FUCKING FORGOT MOTHER'S DAY! I knew it was in May... I just didn't think it was THIS week.
How did I realize my gi-normous faux pas? I was reading Lee's journal entry and and I came across the fact. And I freaked. I tried to bring up a new internet explorer window to check the facts, but instead started choking on my spit (don't ask) and clicking on Microsoft Office instead.
So after I clarified the fact that I am an god awful daughter, I grabbed the (overpriced) scented soap I bought for her at Flower Mart, tripped up the stairs and thrust it into her hands (still choking).
She was pleased, so I think I have a chance at escaping Hell.
I can't believe I forgot... I'm horrible
