You see?

I think everyone loses socks (though some people lose socks at a higher frequency). I happen to be one of these people, but I've come to accept the fact and hope that people aren't particularly creepy and inspect the half-inch between my jeans and my shoes to see whether or not my socks match. Losing socks is reasonable, but once you start losing pillowcases you start to wonder whether or not the dryer is eating everything. I swear, I did laundry yesterday and when I finished I put my bed sheet back on my bed and my pillow cases onto my pillows when I realized that a whole pillowcase was gone! What the heck?! Mark my words... I will find you..

Relatively related, I wonder if you guys know that Apple made some pet GPS thing? (do you think they could make some for my socks)

So I went to the optometrist yesterday and she looked like she was unhappy with me because she probably felt like I was wasting her time... she told me that my eyes were fine. One eye has around 15 degrees I think and she said ..."uhh.. well nothing's really wrong with your eyes... you can get glasses if you want, but it's not... (long pause) necessary" and when I tried to explain to her that the blackboard was blurry at 4:00pm she gave me the signature "wtf" look and told me that that doesn't typically happen to people. Am I weird? -_- Don't answer that.

Study time. I'm going to go get some coffee..

The river?

This is so adorable. Kids are only cute to look at... taking care of them is a pain.

I randomly "woke up" at 3:00am today. This seems to be the story of my life. Sigh. I just wish I could get more than 2-3 hours of sleep... though it's a lot better than how it was before.

Two nights ago I was sleeping and suddenly my earring started bothering me, so I took it off and threw it somewhere. Now I can't find it. There goes $50. I wonder if I can sell the other one for $50. HA.

Also, I think I lost my ATM card. Sigh.

And by the way, I gave in and bought the leather jacket. FML. I wish someone would stop my irrationality and spontaneous clothes-buying disease.

You know, as surprising as this may seem, I've begun to realize that there actually are good people out there and I've been missing out because I haven't been putting much effort into looking. Thankfully, as of late, they have been coming to me. 좋아. Please continue~ (I've also found out that there are a lot of expressions in each language that are really useful, but it sucks that they don't translate well into other languages which makes it bothersome when I'm trying to say something because my mind is constantly flowing between 6 different languages -_-)

This is

I hate this. Really. Sometimes I feel like... What the heck am I doing? I wish I could be a more substantial part of life in general, but that's not the case and it makes me frustrated because the only thing I CAN do is study and work more, but where does that leave me? Nowhere.

Ricola

Who knew halls vitamin C could be so inspiring?? I feel like I can now conquer the world. I'm going to go be unstoppable. Later~

Adipose

I feel really fat. I always feel really fat when the weather starts getting colder. I wonder if it's because I start wearing more clothes? The numbers on my scale have been at a constant decline since college started, yet I still feel really fat. Like a turkey. Please roast me for Thanksgiving.

I wish I weren't so weight obsessed, though I feel like the majority of girls around this age are. Maybe it's because it's "mating time" in which sexual selection is particularly strong, so everyone must follow the whole "reproduction=success" theory (thank you, Charles Darwin for ruining every Biology class I've ever taken). I don't think this is healthy, but I have to weigh myself every day. Like... I MUST. I will bring my scale back to San Jose just so I can weigh myself. I'm not sure... perhaps it's the fact that my form factor used to resemble that of onigiri (<- keep in mind I was never that cute), so it makes me extremely sensitive/aware of the percentage of fat accumulating in my body.

Don't you hate those people that can keep eating and eating, but never gain weight? What the freak. Though I suppose it's these same people that get really fat in college or the years after as they continue eating and develop a sedentary lifestyle. I once told this guy that I eat a peanut and gain ten pounds. He responded with, "...that must be a pretty big peanut then..." Ha! Best response yet. I love witty humor.

Lumpy

You know, I've never understood people that put things in their back pockets. I suppose it's the norm for guys, but for girls it's kind of strange. Mostly because girls' clothing is form fitting and when people do that it looks like they have a tumor coming out of their butt. I mean, unless they find that kind of thing attractive... to each their own I guess?

Butt tumors remind me of hemorrhoids... ew.

Wouldn't it be nice to go on a vacation? Trinidad anyone? Haha, sometimes looking at pictures is enough to make me smile~

Song recommendations for the day:

English: Michelle Branch - Everywhere
Spanish: David Bisbal - Buleria
Chinese: 飛兒樂團 - 三個心願
Japanese: Kuraki Mai - もう一度
Korean: 슈퍼주니어 - A-CHA

HA. Pick your language.

F that.

You know what drives me insane? Everything. Okay, but seriously it drives me insane when people don't respond to things. Such as: texts, emails, messages, etc. What the freak?! How am I supposed to know if you saw the thing or not? Here's the order of importance... If you don't respond to wall posts it's normal (that's what the like button is for), texts - fine (you probably think you're "better" than me; whatever you can keep thinking that if it makes you feel better about yourself), but it starts to irritate me when people don't respond to emails, messages, and I'll be extremely irritated if you don't respond to a phone call or voicemail because if it gets to the point where I have to call you it probably means that it's important.

I don't understand people and these stupid stupid games that they play. The whole "oh, I shouldn't respond so fast so they think that I'm a busy person and don't have time for them and that they're not important in my life" is so ridiculous to me. It shouldn't be this hard, people.

What the heck. And then you go on Facebook and your newsfeed indicates that they've responded to everyone on their wall, but they couldn't take those few minutes out of their lives to reply to your email. Seriously? So rude. So extremely rude. I'm going to scream.

Okay sorry I'm done ranting.

Uggly

I swear... I probably post about this every year when the cold season starts, but I really need to emphasize how UGLY Uggs are. I'm so bewildered by the fact that so many girls wear them (daily). They don't enhance the feminine features of feet. In fact, your feet become comparable to those of elephants. Why anyone would pay so much money to look like an elephant is beyond me. Honestly, my upper half already looks like an elephant. Why on Earth would I want to pay a large sum of money to make the bottom half more synonymous? (This is where you guys say... Joanna, what are you talking about, your bottom half already looks like that of an elephants as well -_- can't even argue..)

I guess the one good part about cold weather is that the slutty summer clothing is going to be put away for a while. That is unless they're truly dedicated... in which case they will bear the cold to show some cleavage. I don't know. Frozen boobs just don't sound very appealing to me. I think I'll keep my 10 jackets on. I don't think there are any guys on Earth that are worth freezing for (unless it's Blue or Jonathan Rhys Meyers... I would gladly be naked for them HAHA~) and if there actually are, they wouldn't want you to freeze to begin with.

There's a leather jacket that I really want. Freak.

Thyme

Ah. I haven't updated. :( I just realized that I have too many midterms. What I mean is... check out this recent conversation...

C: Joanna do you have midterms this week? Let's hang out!
J: Oh yeah, I have one Wednesday and Friday...
C: Aw man... okay let's hang out Friday after your midterm then!
J: AHh, I have one Monday or else I would :(
C: Dang.. I guess after Monday then?
J: Lol... I have another one Wednesday -_-
C: -____-

HAHA. I'm sorry <3 I would if I could...

I can't wait for Thanksgiving... I don't even remember the last time I ate. It must have been Friday or Sunday. Good luck on midterms y'all.

죽겠다~

MMM

I really love this guy. He makes me smile. The song looks fun... I'll play it when I have time... uh... -_-

It's not really considered classical, I don't think.

Say uncle

I think I'm addicted to coffee. It's official now. I've been drinking a cup a day since school started because it wakes me up, but I decided that this morning I was too lazy to make some and that I didn't really feel like drinking it anyway. Bad decision. I went to work early (as usual) and at around 11 or 12 I thought that I was going to drop dead on the ground. Sloth mode. You know that feeling that you get around 2 or 3 in the afternoon? Yeah. It was like that. 

Highlights of the past week

1. I fell asleep on a random guy in class (but it's okay because he was asleep too)

2. I couldn't reach the bread that I wanted at Safeway and some tall 白人 with long arms got it for me

3. Midterm went well (hopefully it went as well as biochem :) but I doubt it because I always second guess myself on multiple choice)

Speaking of biochem... okay I have to tell you guys a funny story. So after we got our tests back our professor put up the scores and she showed the number of people that got what score etc. There were two people that got 100% and I was sitting there smiling to myself. Then the girl next to me turns to me and she says, "%*$& don't you just want to kill those two bi#$&@#?! Like what the *#$& they hella ruined the curve and $#&@ " and I said, "Uhhh... yeah! o_o;;" This is a scary world we live in...

I need to 똥. -_- just saying~ 

Gross

THERE ARE FREAKING FROGS OUTSIDE MY APARTMENT!!!

N P B

I just... want to pee.

Ahh, I can't really update right now. I have to study.

BUT. I will provide you guys with a juicy update tonight... that is if I don't fall asleep on the ground the moment I get back.

For now... to keep you guys entertained.

Agreed?

I'm currently updating my phone to iOS5 and while I was updating it a series of boxes popped up, so I absentmindedly clicked next, next, agree, and it started downloading. Then as I sat there and watched the blue bar slowly increase towards the right (this thing says it's going to take 4 hours... freaking Siri doesn't even work on iPhone 4) I realized that I never read those user agreement things.

For all I know they could be asking for my soul and I would still be sitting there clicking agree. I'm just afraid that one day someone will show up on my door step and say, "Oh hey, so we're here to take you to the prostitution house!" of course I would deny ever being affiliated with such demeaning activity whereby they would proceed to whip out a contract showing that I clicked the blue agree button on October 13, 2011. Then I would have no choice, but to respond with this. I seem to have a lot of those moments.

Studying makes people crazy. Well, at least it makes ME crazy. I'm acting really strange lately (OKay, more than normal at least) and I have to keep reminding myself to tone it down because there are probably only four people on this planet that have seen me act like a complete psycho and are okay with it. I think I scare people unintentionally. :(

Zombie mode

T___T 김치볶음밥 먹고 싶어. Kimchi rice? Kimchi fried rice? Kimchi rice stir fry? I don't know what this is called in English. Either way... Intense craving... too bad there aren't any Korean restaurants here and I have no Kimchi (not like I would cook anyway because I'm too lazy).

And oh my god... 奶油餅... ahh I'm going crazy. 

Crayon

You know it gets to this point where you start questioning what you're doing and why you're doing it. Like this:

Why do I fold my gum wrappers into tiny squares before I throw them away?

Why do I attempt to color code my closet?

Why do I fold my jeans into three equal parts?

Why do I coil my wires and twist tie them even when I know I'm going to use them again soon?

Why did I bring all of my dress shirts here when I don't even have a desk job anymore?

Why to I try to see if my sock is a left or right one when they're both supposed to be the same?

By the way, I'm going insane (as if I wasn't already). Should I quit something? Ahh... 몰라.

Mons

Wake up song this morning: F(x) - Me + U. Fangirl status. I hope no one can see me dancing from outside... I swear... I forgot to close my window the other day when I was changing and caused a car accident in our parking lot. Okay, seriously though there was a car accident right outside my window on Saturday or something. This car was trying to back out and another car was driving super fast then SCREECH, BAM! M and I were both staring at the commotion outside the window. That's about as exciting as this weekend gets.

Ah. I just spilled coffee all over my face. I go clean now. 흥.

Debatable

HAHAHA. Mugshot. What do you guys think? I'm so afraid that I'm going to need them for real though... I should be studying. Blah.

Accidental

Oh man, no hate for Korean boy bands, but this is too funny. If you guys aren't familiar with Super Junior then let me summarize: Super Junior is a Korean boy band that also has a subdivision called Super Junior M that sings in mandarin. The problem with this is their accents. There's nothing wrong with having an accent unless it changes the meaning of what you're going to say. So in their recent video they were singing and suddenly I hear "If you put too much force on love it will get drunk." Well... that's weird, but I've heard stranger things coming out of lyrics (i.e. Kesha or Gaga), so I ignore it and continue listening. Then they say it again. It bothered be because it really doesn't make any sense within the context of the song, so I looked up the lyrics online and what they MEAN to say is that if you put too much force on love it will shatter. -_-

Oh well... languages are difficult and I love Henry regardless. Though he's not the one with the accent... he's not even Korean, he's Taiwanese (the irony). AND he likes dogs :) Ahh. Too cute too cute.

Tic toc

Idiot decided she couldn't make it to the bank when the rest of us could. She then asked if she could come and sign it, so we could deposit it. Of course you can't. Now this is going to have to be prolonged to November. What a stupid person. If she didn't call in the first place then none of this would have to happen. I swear... she's stupider than my students and that's pretty bad. 

HAHAHA! Read this paragraph, guys. Very honest and to the point, but so true. I love The Onion. While all of the other news websites are posting pages upon pages about Steve Jobs they manage to sum it up in a paragraph. Good stuff. 

A lot to do today. :(

Thirty

I <3 30 Rock :) Lemon!

Snooze

I'm guilty. I'm guilty of pretending to be interested when I'm not. Though sometimes it's actually necessary. I try not to bore people, but I guess these things are inevitable if interests don't align. I usually just sit back and let people talk about themselves because everyone likes to talk about themselves. I don't really like talking about myself unless I know the recipient is genuinely interested (or if you're one of my people then you have no choice hehe).

How do you know if you're boring someone? (this is usually how I respond to people if I'm bored... I think I do a pretty good job because they never realize... actually not many people know me well enough to know when I'm interested or not though they might think they do heh heh)

"Oh really? Oh, really. Really? Seriously? Ohhh, really? No way, really?"

"Wow. That's so funny! That's hilarious! That's so cool!"

*gasp *shocked expression *smile *smile *smile


But if you bore me so much that I can't hide it I'll probably just look like @___@ this and if you ask me if anything is wrong I'll just say that I'm tired or that I have a headache (chances are I really do...).

Never win

Uhh, yeah. Okay, I just realized that I left out the most important part of what I was going to say. Though, that may not be a bad thing because if I've forgotten about it, it means that I'm over it. Anyway, earlier this week we got our security deposit back. The original amount that we payed was $750. Ideally it would have been nice to get it all back, but we were charged extra for the "extra dirty carpet" and the "excess repairs." The total for the extras added up to around $155. No one is happy about this. Well, except maybe her that stupid 白人 (AGAIN) because she was the one that caused the carpet to become "extra dirty" and various things around the house to be broken. Why should we pay for the damages that she incurred? As if this isn't frustrating enough, it gets worse. The worst part is the fact that the security deposit is supposed to be returned to us with only my name on it, so that I can just go to the bank, write personal checks for everyone, and distribute it at my convenience, BUT NO. That idiot 白人 decided that she should call the office and request that the check be written with all of our names on it which means that I can't deposit that POS unless all five of us are present at the bank which then means I have to see her ugly, disgusting, adipose filled facial features this Saturday at 11am. I'm going to vomit. If anyone can think of a way out of this PLEASE let me know.

Anyway, my favorite DJ is on: DJ 娃娃 (yes, I do listen to Taiwanese radio)--fob & proud, yo-- so I'm going to go drink tea and do biochem problems until I have to go. I realize that I have no time for myself. I haven't watched a show in three weeks. :( All this suffering and lack of a social life will be worth it in the future ...right?

Rain on me

The biochem midterm was... ridiculous in a good way. I was over-prepared. I got scared because the problems that she assigned in the book were really hard and I couldn't understand them, so I spent the night working out problems. Well, I ended up finishing the test in 12 minutes which made me very confused because I kept looking for more pages, but there were none to be found.

Don't you love it when you leave your umbrella in your car after you park in the parking structure, walk down the stairs past the overhang and out into open sky and a large concentration of ominous rain clouds start gathering right above you and start peeing on you? It's wonderful really. I knew it was going to happen. I KNEW IT. Every time I ask myself whether or not I should bring my umbrella... sigh.

iPhones are dangerous. I slipped off of the last three steps coming down the stairs from my apartment. I screamed and then ran into a guy carrying his plastic laundry basket, which I proceeded to bump my head on. Yeah, I don't know... I hope it was clean laundry at the very least. Speaking of iPhones you guys have probably heard by now that Steve Jobs passed away. I was so shocked. I'm not an Apple enthusiast, but I feel like I've been living with Steve Jobs as my neighbor (and this has nothing to do with the fact that Apple headquarters are in Cupertino or that I drive past their buildings several times--usually to go to Chipotle--cough) for all of my life. The first iPods came out in middle school and I got the iPod Classic photo 60GB. I thought I was so cool at the time. Ahem... and then it broke. Then I got the iPod Shuffle. Yes, the FIRST shuffle that I still have (and still works! which is incredible). One thing led to another iTouch, iPhone, macbook, etc. Anyway, what I mean to say is I've been living (and putting up) with Steve jobs for the past 10 years. It's a bit surreal knowing that he's gone. Given that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in '04 it's pretty remarkable that he was able to live this long... but still... he was just one of those people that you would never expect to die.

Band-OH

Sorry guys, I haven't been updating as much as I want to, but there is so much to do... :( First midterm today. Wish me luck. Biochem~ <3 I'll update when I get back. Much to tell you all.

In the meantime, here's a video to keep you guys entertained. This reminds me of the old days... back in high school. HA. I can't believe I was in marching band. How embarrassing.

Porno 닭

I went to Subway yesterday because I was craving a salad. I know, I'm that one weird person that goes to a sandwich shop to buy salads. Anyway, the guy behind the counter started chatting with me which was odd because there's usually a grumpy lady there that lacks emotion as she's throwing my vegetables into a plastic container. He asked me what year I was and when I told him he was shocked. He said that I look like a Freshman. -_- Thanks. I guess on the bright side when I'm 30 I'll look like I'm 27... I told him it was because my hair was up (i.e. my study hair... if you guys remember what that looks like haha). 

I haven't done much this weekend except for study for Biochemistry. I definitely don't understand how we can possibly have our first midterm on Wednesday when we've just started school. It's ridiculous, but honestly I don't mind... only because it's biochem. I like it. :) I'm a big time nerd. 

I'm trying to do my laundry right now, but it's very difficult. I went down to the laundry room and there were four machines open. I was really happy since it's rare that there will be washing machines free at 7:00pm Sunday night. I was about to start putting my clothes into the machine when this stupid guy stops me, "Oh hey, sorry I'm using that one..." Okay, fine... I move over to the next available machine and start putting my clothes in that machine and the guy walks over again. "Hey, I'm actually using all four of these." ...are you KIDDING me?! Selfish JERK. I didn't even know how to respond. I just said "Oh..." but of course I was saying much, much more in my mind. Thank goodness no one has mind reading powers... -_- 

Did you guys see New York Times's sexy chicken? I thought it was hilarious. It was doubly hilarious that PETA got offended by it and called it animal cruelty. They have no credibility anymore. Did you know they started their own pornography website a while ago because they said it would attract the male population to pay closer attention to animal rights protection? I'm SURE guys are thinking about animal rights as they look at porn. 

Spam

I almost drank expired milk yesterday. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since I never know what the date is. It wasn't sour yet... but still... close call.

Nothing much has happened lately. I'm just keeping busy as usual. I found out that my first midterm is Wednesday, which makes no sense to me, but whatever. I've come to accept the fact that the quarter system is too fast and questionable at best. Though on the plus side December does seem to come faster. AHHH, but that's not a good thing this year because the date that I have set for my death (aka professional school testing) is December 30th, so there goes my winter break. I figure this way, if I fail, at least I have something I can put down on my new years resolutions. Not to mention I can also shop my misery away. -_-

Did you guys know that there's a Spam museum? Ironically, it's located in Minnesota though one would expect it to be in Hawaii.
