Doors and girls

I LOVE it when people open doors for me. They don't even have to be guys (though if they are it's +1 for them). Anyone who opens a door for me is automatically a good person. Why? Because I hate touching doors. I always avoid it if I can. Every time I touch a door I feel a compulsive desire to wash my hands. It's like I have bacteria vision. Whenever I see something I can see the amount of bacteria that thrive on that certain object (...I probably also have calorie vision too). So yes, that means I am that one person that slips through that little crack as the door is closing (hey, don't act like you've never done it before).

So I was backing out of the parking lot today and I was about to leave, but these two freaking 白人 were having a conversation in the middle of the parking lot. I sat there waiting for them for a good 6 minutes before one of those idiots realized that I was waiting for them to end their conversation. Shouldn't it be common sense not to linger in the middle of open road? Then again, we have already come to the conclusion (many times) that several people do not possess this thing known as common sense or else the problems that exist on this earth would not be so numerous.

I still think I'm diseased. Ah... so dizzy.

Too much

Today was freaking crazy. Crazy as in... how the heck is it only the third day and I feel like I'm dying already? It started out normally with lab then classes, but somewhere throughout the day I turned into a TA and now have office hours Tuesday morning. Come visit me if you're bored, I guess.

I tripped over three stairs and ran into a cement pillar because I was texting people. That's what I get.

I accidentally left my underwear in the bathroom yesterday, but I always sleep later and wake up earlier than M anyway, so thank goodness. I think I suck. She likes putting the lid down on the toilet, but I keep forgetting because I've never lived like a white person before. Also, it doesn't really make sense in my mind (not to mention the fact that I'm hecka lazy). This is difficult. I will try harder.

Something has been on my mind. Someone has also been on my mind. Actually, that's not true... a lot of someones and somethings have been on my mind.

I haven't been feeling well lately. I hope nothing extreme happens.

I might have overdosed on Advil on accident. I took two in the morning, two before I showered, and two after I showered because I forgot that I already took two. When I realized that I had already taken them it was too late. I'm getting old. Well... it says not to exceed six tablets within 24 hours...

AND WHAT THE HECK MAN. Stupid Hulu won't let me watch Family Guy. Who wants to pay for their shows?! Augh. I'll have to settle for Megavideo.

DDT

Did you know that the average apple that you buy in a grocery store has been off the tree for about 14 months? I bet you didn't know that. Well, how does it stay so good looking then? Pesticide. It's makeup for produce!

Katie Holmes is going to be in the next How I Met Your Mother episodes. That means I need to watch them. If you guys haven't watched Mad Money... go watch it. I love Katie Holmes.

정용화(Jung Yong Hwa). So cute. He has misaligned canines, but I think that's really cute. I'm weird. Skinny guys and crooked teeth (by the way.. he plays guitar and sings). But 강민혁(Kang Min Hyuk) is also really cute. He looks like a potato. Though... he has really nice teeth. HAHA. What is up with me and teeth. I'm not crazy I swear.

Movie time~ :)

Stop it

Okay after I blog I seriously need to go, but I have to... express my concern about something first.

What the heck man. You know what I hate? I hate it when people automatically think that they're better than you when they're older than you are. Do people really think that age matters? Does one year matter? Does two? I hate it when people have superiority complexes when they're not even that great themselves. I hate telling people which year I am and I never ask people which year they are (they choose to tell me themselves). Why? Because it doesn't matter and I don't care to be evaluated based on my age. I think knowledge is a more accurate indicator of the level of respect someone should receive. While it's true that anyone would prefer to talk to people around the same age group, +/- three years or so isn't going to make a difference. If someone is 5 years older than me I automatically respect them because I assume that they're more experienced/knowledgeable about life in general (though this isn't always the case...), but the thing is there are people younger than me that are more experienced about topics that I'm clueless about (anything BA related, basically) and I feel that I can learn from them despite the fact that they're a few years younger, whereas I'm probably more experienced in Chemistry/Organic Chemistry than most people older than me. My point is... you can always learn something from people due to the fact that everyone has a different forte, so before you go around looking down on people because you're older than them think about that for a sec and don't be a douche.

Sorry, that was a mouthful, but I had to get that off my hairy chest. Some people really disgust me. -_-

Blah. I'll post something more interesting after I get back. Later~

The beginning

How did it turn out this way? I thought that NPB (equivalent of physiology) was going to be my hardest class because everyone's always freaking out about it, but it turns out it's going to be the easiest. Thank you high school Physio with a crazy bipolar lady that kept putting her fat thigh on top of peoples' desks. I don't really know how I feel about classes that require a bunch of memorization. While I find them to be simple, they tend to be mundane and I end up learning nothing. Whatever. Easy A hopefully.

Okay guys, I need to figure something out. Should I get another job, do an internship, or should I do none of the above. The two labs that I'm at take up about 25 hours of the week, but since I'm a masochist I want to add either another job or an internship. I got both the job and the internship, so all that's left to do is to choose. The job is at a bio lab (current labs: biochem & chem, so this would balance nicely) and the internship is chem. I'm leaning towards the bio lab because they'll let me run my own tests (and I like getting paid...), but yeah... let me know what you guys think. Input is appreciated since I tend to be indecisive about life in general. Heh heh.

I dreamed about purifying plasmid DNA last night -_-

...I have a ghost toilet... it keeps flushing itself... at least we don't pay for water. I hate management.

Finally, eh?

Alright. So... this weekend was the last weekend of work and the last weekend of my internship. I think I'll miss them both. When everything was over I decided to go shopping because as surprising as this is, I haven't gone shopping in about a month (online doesn't count and neither do kitchen appliances). I was going to allow myself to spend $100, but that didn't work out too well. I ended up spending $150 at Banana, which is pretty reasonable. I thought I was doing well until I walked past Nordstrom and saw a mannequin wearing a pair of jeans that looked amazing. Joe's Jeans. Link for people who have never heard of this. For those of you that don't know already I'm super picky about a lot of things. It's very rare that I like a pair of jeans, so I didn't think that I would like them once I tried them on. Wrong. I loved them. Blah blah blah, one thing lead to another and I walked out of there with $180 less than I had before. So much for spending $100. Though to justify my recent splurge I have been working all summer... (voice trails off). ALSO, these are going to be the first pair of jeans that  I don't have to keep pulling up. I need to stop losing weight... It's expensive. --And contradictory to common belief, belts do not work. Or perhaps it's the fact that I have lumpy hips. I don't know. Whatever.

Anyway, school is going to start on Thursday. I don't feel like I had a summer... probably because I didn't. But, I think it's okay. I would rather be busy than lounging around. I'll admit to being a workaholic.

My car is so clean! :)

Collection

Yeah... I just had to show you guys my army of waters :) sorry about the delay... I had to tape down two bugs and one of them was freaking juicy. I hope my neighbors don't hate me and I hope that they didn't hear me screaming like a school girl. Sigh... PLEASE COME BACK I can't handle this anymore =_=

Sahree

AH. Sorry. I failed at life. I was going to update, but I ended up washing my car instead. When I came back it took an hour to lug all of the water up to my apartment. As a consequence, my cabinets are ridiculous... I'll post a picture after I shower. This is why I am known as a whale...

Flash back

ALKJALSkjksjk. Today I hung out with some amazing people. I forget how much I miss you guys until we finally hang out and then I get really sad because I realize that the next time I'm going to see you guys is in December. I like that we can just lie around in the car for four hours doing absolutely nothing, yet still laugh so hard we're crying. I like that although we don't see each other often whenever we meet up it's like nothing ever changed. I like that we can sit next to each other in silence without having to think of things to say. WHERE am I ever going to find other people I can do this with? How on earth did I get so lucky~ 사랑해 <3 though I really don't say it enough, but you guys probably know :) at least I hope you do. 

I'm ultra tired. Full update tomorrow! (hopefully~)

Wormzz

WHAT the heck is up with my luck? Today I ate a nectarine. I took one bite and thought, "Wow, this is really sweet!"I look down AND THERE ARE TWO WORMS CRAWLING ON MY NECTARINE. Are you kidding me?! I gagged and threw it away. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to eat the rest of them. Bah. Gross.

On a different note this is really funny... I'm not going to translate it because you need to understand Chinese to get the joke anyway, so... yeah. :)

家長看到作業簿,老師出了作文題目:“媽媽的毛”,家長很生氣,打電話問老師“這麼出這種作文題目”? 結果是學生寫字左右不分,“媽媽的手”寫成“媽媽的毛”

。。。但是我覺得用媽媽的手作當文題目也是滿怪異的。。。 哈哈

Kids can be pretty funny sometimes. Haha.

Oh me

I can't kill bugs, so I choose to tape them to the wall... :)

Ahh

Help me... Serrano... Augh... It burns

Sunday, September 11, 2011

Idiom/t

I made guacamole again. Though this time I used serrano instead of jalapeno because I wanted it to be more spicy. I've never used serrano before because I've always thought that it was super spicy. It was pretty hot, but it was a good kind of hot. It tasted great with the guacamole, but I had no idea that my hand would be burning after chopping it up.

...it's still burning... is this normal?

I hate these sayings because 1. they make no sense to me and 2. they're just stupid.

Clear the air - okay really, the only air that needs to be cleared is the air in LA

The cat's out of the bag - what the freak was it doing IN the bag to begin with? This doesn't even make any sense.

Knock on wood - why would you do this? Just-- why? I'm so perplexed.

Pulling your leg - mostly because I always think of this in a literal manner and I would respond with ...I'm not...

Can I get a raincheck? - I wonder who started this one... maybe it had something to do with tennis... in that case it would be forgivable.

Under the weather - just say you're feeling sick. This makes you sound like an idiot.

Don't judge a book by its' cover - dude, then what are you supposed to judge it by? I always judge books by their covers (as well as the insufficient summary provided on the back...).

Now, this is my favorite idiom of all time. I like this one because only educated people would know what you're talking about. You have Van Gogh's ear for music. Not many people know that Van Gogh chopped off his ear and gave it to a prostitute (probably in his drunken stupor), so this saying implies that you're tone deaf. People that don't know the background behind this think that you're complementing them... heh heh :)

Yellow hair

OH MY GOSH! I almost forgot it's fashion week. I'm super excited ^___^ not to mention US Open is going on right now (Federer has failed me, so I hope Djokovic wins). Good week! I did absolutely nothing today. Other than work... I watched Sweeney Todd and Bourne Identity again. Good stuff. I miss the Johanna song. Too bad it's not the Joanna song.

Well... after today I have to hardcore study.

M has gone back to LA already. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I've never been alone here before so it's definitely different. I realize that every time I hear noises I jump. Also, I'm planning on taping down all of the bugs so that she can come back and kill them in two weeks because I am not touching that.

Someone come and keep me company? Can I seduce you with food?

Grillz

It's easier to just show you guys what I did today... Of course this is other than working. Still, it's too loud here I'm leaving.

Seduction

I finally finished unpacking everything. I had to give myself an ultimatum, but I did it! My room looks refreshing. I'll take another picture soon, so you guys can see how it looks. Same deal with the kitchen.

Nothing much has gone on lately... well... never mind. I don't think I can write about that here, so you might as well take the time to hang out with me instead. Anyway, recently I've either been at Chem lab, lab lab or studying. That pretty much makes up the majority of my weekdays, so it's not very exciting. However, the one thing that is exciting is the fact that I'm finally finished with the Physics series and I never have to take another Physics class again! Good stuff. :)

I bought a coffee maker and a stand mixer. I know, I gave into my desires... Blah. It was necessary... sort of...

My one and a half weeks of summer break has officially commenced! Though... nothing changes because I'm always working anyway... come visit me, I'll seduce you with my cooking~

Lazy days

The current state of my room... also, I'm trying out Instagram. We'll see...

I see...

View from our new apartment. Fancy effects and whatnot. Okay I'm about to watermelon coma right now. I'll update again later~

Flood

This is what I've been doing all day everyday. Don't worry, as hard as it is to believe I have been studying. The fact that it's Physics... I'm really not very concerned. I'm more worried about the chemicals in my Chemistry lab, but we'll leave that story for another day. Yesterday M and I went to Safeway and I really wanted to get a watermelon. I was going to buy the small personal sized ones, but I saw that those were $4.99 whereas the large ones were only $2.49. Of course me being the fat elephant I am, I went with the giant watermelon without thinking of the consequences. I went home, ate some, and realized that it would take AT LEAST 4 days to finish the watermelon. I've been trying very hard to consume 1/4 of it per day; however, this is extremely difficult. I ate 1/4 of a watermelon today and I got so full I could hardly move. I laid on the ground incapacitated for a good two hours. I'm not sure if I can keep this up. Darn. That's the last time I buy such a big watermelon. Not to mention M was just laughing at me as I was trying to carry it to the checkout line. Oh, since we're on the topic of watermelons have you guys seen the Japanese square watermelons? Check this out if you haven't. They're pretty cool.

I went to a different Starbucks to study today, so I have no stories of my barista friend and I also didn't get a free drink. I did get a lot of work done though. I finished most of the periodontal disease instrumentation packet and I'm almost finished with my research project... speaking of which I keep thinking everything is skin cancer. I've been examining moles on myself, my friends, random strangers showing off their skin while they stand in line in front of me, etc. Am I a creep? Yeah, probably... though I could potentially save someone's life you know?! Once again I'm trying to justify myself being a creep. Is it working? -_-

Rude boy

This morning I was abruptly awoken at 6:47am by the slamming of drawers and banging of pans. I was about to get up and yell at M for being so bloody loud, but when I walked out to the kitchen she wasn't even out there. I listened carefully and realized that the sounds were coming from next door. What the heck man, if your neighbors can hear your daily activity you're definitely being too loud. This is definitely de ja vu. It reminds me of A. So annoying. Inconsiderate people irritate me. Unfortunately, the amount of inconsiderate people on this planet greatly outnumber all others.

Oh. We went shopping for apartment stuff today and spent a small fortune. We even went all crazy white girl status and wrote out a list. Something about lists... it's kind of satisfying when you can cross them off, though once again this could be my insanity talking. Anyway, both of us were really happy and we accomplished covering half of the cabinets and drawers today; however, we're still too lazy to unpack anything. My boxes are still chillin' in my room, in the kitchen... everywhere, basically. I'll do it after Tuesday. I keep forgetting that I have a final. This is not good.

It drives me insane knowing that you're having a difficult time when you're supposed to be enjoying life right now, but you'll be okay in the end because like I always tell you, you're amazing. Besides, if we managed 5500 miles 4500 shouldn't be too hard. <3 you~ :)

Just

Life is too complicated guys. You know what I'm jealous of? I'm jealous of those boring old married couples that do the same thing every day of their lives and never argue over anything. I'm also jealous of people that have stand mixers... because I really want one but can't afford a $300 piece of equipment which is why I spend an hour whipping cream by hand, fml.

My aunt sent a package from Taiwan and it finally came today! I'm so happy. I have my book and my CD and my apple bread (it's bread that tastes like apples... yes it's delicious and no you can't have any). That made me feel better. I love packages. Packages and letters :) write me one?

We finally moved in. The two of us were pretty ecstatic. The place is amazing. We thought we would be moving into the same type of house just smaller, but they actually surprised us with the add-ons and the little things here and there made me smile. I'm really excited to unpack, but that may have to wait until after finals. It really feels like home. I'm happy. 

Besides those two things, today was all bad. I'm about to collapse out of exhaustion. Never again am I going to drive back at such an hour. 

WHAT?!

Okay really fast... I went to a review session this morning with a different TA and OH MY GOSH. He looked like that bad guy from Harry Potter, but better looking. I think he was Russian. Wow. That was exciting. I wish he was my TA. I would have gone out with him for sure :)
