I saw Riley last night, in SF on Fillmore St. I'm here for a summer internship at UCSF until 8/6, and it's been going pretty well so far. But honestly, it was great to finally see someone that I know here in this city (Sam aside, but she's back in San Diego now). We had some interesting conversation and I learned also, that the Mr. DMV lives here now? It took a little bit of internet sleuthing to get myself logged back into this blog and...

HOLY CHRIST WTF HAPPENED?

Anyway, Chad, I sent you a letter a little while ago. I'm not actually sure if I will continue to use this. It's been a long time since I've been in the habit of blogging and LJ is cleaner, and easier, though I have few interesting friends who still blog regularly there. I also find that I rarely have anything particularly interesting to say anymore... and because cuddling and cooking have demoted internet-ing on my top interests list.

And then I guess, in the meantime... I had a pretty good school year. I found a new job as web assistant of the Nano dept. (ne.ucsd.edu, all me, kids). I started going to counseling regularly. I moved in with my boyfriend. I got a stomach ulcer. I found new (better) friends. I finally quit that goddamned lab bitch job. Got an amazing summer internship in a cool lab with cool people. In general I find that I've mellowed out quite a lot from who I used to be.

But I'm pretty happy where I am right now, and that's not something I could say two or three years ago.

I'm also going to be late for work if I don't get a move-on.

*sigh*

Sometimes I hate my job. It did not say in my job description that I would have to learn javascript menus or that I would have to revamp the whole fucking website with little to no direction whatsoever. Also, my boss has no clue how much effort this takes... and I used to charge double what she's paying me for this kind of work. Of course, her grad students tell me I don't need to take it all that seriously because they can't even remember the last time someone touched the website... but my pride always gets the best of me.

It looks like we're in for a long night. T_T;

SECTION 1: WHERE YOU WERE...

Ten years ago:

I was 8 years old. And um, I was living in NJ with my parents and my brother. I was in third grade, when I was still at Southard Elementary. I was in Mrs. Nixon's class and she was the first "cool" teacher I ever had. At this time, I was learning not to be such a teacher's pet. This was also when I played violin and practiced more seriously. I played the Hungarian Dance for my recital this year.

Five years ago:

I was in 8th grade at Hastings. I was in my fourth year in Ohio and I was still at times the new girl. I was going through a major crisis with my friends and family that basically left me sitting by myself at lunch for half the year. We still lived in the apartment on Aberdeen then. Then we had that massive drama over DC roommates. Can't say it was my favorite year ever. I'm pretty sure that was also my fourth year in Junior Strings. Which I hated.

One year ago:

I was in Ohio still, with my mom and brother in a three-bedroom apartment across the street from the high school. It was probably freezing cold and I was massively stressing out over getting college decisions and school. I was also getting tension headaches and cold sores and nosebleeds. I was terribly, terribly bitter about my high school and I could go days without eating anything or speaking to anyone. My allergies were also really, really bad. I actually think this time of the year was around when our refrigerator died also.

Yesterday:

I slept in and missed Math and Physics. I decided not to go to Chem so I could go to Physics discussion and had to leave before my TA covered physical pendulums because I had to go next door and take a chem quiz, which I unfortunately botched. (T_T) Then I went back to the guys' suite and watched Ladette to Lady with Scott and Ally, ate dinner... and basically did nothing for quite a while. After a while, Jen, Kat, Ally and I tried to figure out how the hell we could get any alcohol (seeing as it was the last day of class) while trash-talking certain people and traumatizing Eric and Paul by our terrible bitchiness. Then, we finally decided to go get a movie and spent the rest of the evening watching Casino Royale.

SECTION 2: FIRST...

Thought after waking today: Meh.
Class in the day: Depends what day. And seeing as my quarter's all but ended, it'll be different soon.
Language: Mandarin and English.
Crush: Probably a guy named Matt in my third grade class.
Place lived in: 21 Marc Dr., Howell, NJ 07731. It was a nice little house in suburban New Jersey.

SECTION 3: LAST...

Thought before sleeping yesterday: "sultry noons... hehehe."
Book read: finished? Sadly enough Frankenstein by Shelley
Movie watched: Casino Royale (it was SO SAD! ;__________;)
Music listened to: Urm... whatever Vali had on
Game played: Oh. I have no idea.
Thing drawn: Physics diagram.
Substantial thing typed, this aside: Final WARR 11B paper.
Application used, Firefox aside: Um. Gtalk?
Site visited, current one aside: Facebook.
Place lived in: San Diego

SECTION 4: FAVORITE...

Emoticon: o_O;
Expression: a whining sort of "mwar" sound.
Font: I have over a thousand font files. You can't make me choose.
Color: I don't have one single favorite color.
Food/Drink: Energy Vitamin water is amazing. And I have no favorite food.
Cartoon: Calvin and Hobbes is pretty sweet.
Magazine: I dunno, Cosmo and Men's Health are pretty hilarious.
TV show: I don't really watch TV shows.
Computer program/app: Firefox.
Time: Nap.
Subject: I really liked Econ. Sadly, I am shut out from taking Econ classes here.
Activity (academia-related): Debate.
Activity (otherwise): Napping. On warm bodies. Or otherwise between warm sheets.

SECTION 5: FIVE...

Loves:
1. Napping someplace soft and warm. With someone special is better.
2. Hot, steamy baths with sandalwood.
3. A medium cup of Earl Grey tea with half a shot of vanilla syrup and half a shot of amaretto syrup and a little bit of whole milk on the top. And a good book.
4. My airsofts. I miss them so. I so enjoyed threatening to unload on people.
5. Hugs.

Hates:
1. Dryness that causes flaking skin, rash and/or peeling lips.
2. Headaches. And the Physics homework that causes them.
3. Being cold.
4. Stress.
5. Not being able to find things.

Oddities:
1. I compulsively delete the spam in my spam box for no reason.
2. Some days I just have to have my tea.
3. I never feel like I deserve any of the earrings I make.
4. I buy flowers for people on a whim. And give them to people I dislike (and to people I like) for no reason.
5. I regret a great many things, but I'm still happy to be where I am.

Random thoughts:
1. Hugs...
2. They're looking at 4-chan over there...
3. My eyeballs itch a little.
4. And my neck is sore.
5. In fact, most of me is sore... ;_;

Random quotes:
1. For who deceives a woman in love?
2. He questioned softly why I failed?/For Beauty, I replied/And I for truth, the two are one/We brethren are, he said.
3. Supposing truth was a woman - what then?
4. This is the revenge of the unlived life... Suddenly it makes a fool of you.
5. Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

happy valentines day ♥

I have to admit, it's kind of fun to actually have a reason to celebrate Valentine's Day this year. Paul and I are going to have a picnic. But I have to find Ally first because all my groceries are in her fridge. Also, I'm incapable of focusing on anything else while Pachelbel's Canon in D is playing. I just want to close my eyes and conduct along with the music. I look insane when walking around campus, hehe. =)
