Wow. Three posts in a row. Sorry guys. I'm always trying to think of interesting things to post about, and well, I go very long without a single idea. And then BAM! I have four posts. Haha. Yeah. I actually do have a fourth one. But I'd rather work on that one at a time other than 4 am.
I think I'm improving? My posts are shorter! I think.. anyway...
The point of this post is tolerance. Ho, man. She's tackling something serious?!

See for yourself. A middle school in Thailand built a transexual bathroom for all their little boys who think they should be girls. I'm pretty surprised that there such caring forward looking people out there. Those people in Thailand have it pretty good. I applaud you Thailand.

to go or not to go...
Jason Mraz. is touring yet again. maaaaaaaaan
We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things -the album that came out earlier this year-- is pretty hot. gotta admit. "Butterfly" is super catchy. And then I realized there was a lot of... seductive imagery... and then I got over it. It still makes me happy. Haha.
I find it great how he uses brass in "Make it Mine"; it makes it jazzy and so so colorful. Of course, "I'm Yours" is definitely one of his greatest songs. It's kinda interesting how so many people don't realize that he came out with that song so very long ago.
However, there are a lot of "wet blanket" songs. They're just slow and somewhat emo. I mean, for example, "Only Human" sounds like something someone might perform at some smoky poetry reading at 4pm in some underground tea shop-- where they get together. and drink vitamin-packed anti-oxidant-enforced chai. Just a thought.

chocolate milk
forgive me for posting about my boyfriend....
but greg just told me that his boss gave him a cookie. a giant chocolate chunk cookie. and then he said "you can have it if you'd like. it looks yummy."
haha. i find it hilarious that he got a cookie and proceeded to think of giving it to me. that's so. first grade :P
anyway. i flashbacked and so. story time!
when i was in first grade. (imagine. little tee tee with french braids.) there was this white boy whom i think i was friends with. and one day. he bought me chocolate milk! it was so sweet-- except of course-- i was too young to know it. and instead of being grateful, i was blunt. "i don't like chocolate milk." i didn't even touch it! needless to say. white boy friend was very sad. and i remember watching his face drop from sheer excitement of giving me something that he obviously loved so much to downright disappointment with a touch of embarassment. boy, was i a heartbreaker :P
d'you guys have any similar stories? c'mon. i'm sure you do...

dark knight again
man. that movie was so good. we were talking about how a sequel might come about.
*warning* incredibly nerdy recounting of cartoon events
1) they could bring in a side kick:: they already did a terrible terrible movie about catwoman (which i did not watch because it was so terrible-- this is one of the few things that i actually don't even consider walking in their shoes before judging. it's just horrible).
batgirl is supposed to be gordon's daughter-- but she looked way too young in this one. so maybe. but eh. plus you can't really bring in a batgirl before you bring in dick. and i mean dick as in the first robin. (they're supposed to be love interests almost getting married, but then dick figures out that barbara--that would be batgirl-- is in love with batman.)
john brought up the idea that gordon's son was practically set up to be robin. but robin-- at least from the cartoons-- is typically an orphan boy from a circus whom Bruce Wayne adopts.
2) they can't remake the joker. it would have been great it they could have made a sequel to this with the joker again. the joker is the ultimate villain. no one. absolutely no one. can beat the joker at crime. seriously. he's the only one with a skill level as twisted and sick as the batman is clever. and i don't think anyone would consider trying to copy heath ledger and continue the joker legacy. the only person i can possibly think of being remotely close is Johnny Depp, and even he, i would think, would respect heath's work too much to try to copy it.
and as for other villains? the riddler is pretty lame, the penguin dude pales in comparison, and two face was waaaay too shortlived. first of all, i thought the mob father should have become two face-- he has much more of a sleazy look to him. no one can beat the joker! gah!
3) does anyone else wonder where they got Rachel Dawes from? quite seriously, she came out of nowhere. she's not present in the cartoons. to be quite honest. in the cartoons, (at least the new adventures of batman and superman) Bruce Wayne's sweetheart that he dreamt of being in a perfect world with was Selina-- catwoman. so i'm not really sure where they got her from.
4) they do a duo with superman. heh. that's what they ended up doing with superman. dude. that would be fantastic, a movie with batman AND superman.
despite all these plausible and not so plausible options... they really did dead end themselves here. the dark knight is still too young of a batman to have sidekicks coming out, they're not going to find another rachel dawes because they actually show her screaming and her hair getting blown away as she got destroyed, and their star player, the joker, has no one to play him.
aiya. so sad. christian bale was such a good bruce wayne. although i must admit the second time watching it-- i'm pretty sure they did digital enhancement of his batman voice. haha. duh.
p.s. does anyone else think bale is so much better looking with hair on his head? yeah. definitely not as hot in terminator...
oh and btw. i won't post anymore about dark knight. i promise

argo tea never fails...
to disappoint
seriously. we always get samples from that place and man do they suck. i remember one of the first times they gave us this sparkly purple drink and i was naive and took it excitedly. Dude. it was grape juice mixed in with black tea and sparkling water. yuck.
anyway... this last time we tried the mojitea. haha. man. what a mistake. as greg says "it tastes like liquid ricola" which undeniably is really what it tastes like. in fact it brought back memories of previous encounters with argo tea liquid ricola. we should really stop being so hopeful with argo tea.
the only thing we might like from that place is air conditioning and free wifi.

dark knight ... take three!
yay! finally got to finish dark knight. zomg. it was awesome.
*spoiler alert*
my favorite parts of the film...
1) when the joker comes out to the mob bosses and his laughter.. and of course the "disappearing pencil"
2) batman's kidnapping of the asian dude!
3) batman's initial interogation scene with the joker. lights on* BAM*
4) when the prisoner guy throws the detonator out of the window during the ferry scene. soooo good.
sad... but definitely funny scenes
1) when rachel realizes that batman went for dent, and she stops crying, looks confused, and then realizes she's screwed and then tries to calm herself (and the wailing dent) that "it's okay.... it's okay."
i'm sure i'm missing some. but my posts are getting too long. so i think i'll end it here :P
i've actually still got some hilarious stories i need to tell. but another day (:

dark knight epic fail
well. we all tried to go see dark knight friday afternoon. michael even went with me to the theater at around 1ish to get the tickets for greg, john, and us.
.. and bad things just happen!
family dispute that invovled me but didn't involve me made me tentative to go back. but i had no cash on me. so michael had to pay upfront for us and man, he just BARELY had exactly $27 on him. then when i tried to call greg a bajillion times he didn't pick up and i started thinking he was pissed at me, but i wasn't sure if he knew. so i ended up meeting with michael at 2:50ish and sent him to the movie theater alone because i needed to find greg. john was sailing and so he ended up not even going! ): and actually between buying the tix and actually going i went home and tried to eat lunch but family dispuet sorta got in the way. so i biked down to phi psi on an empty stomach to dig up greggo and he ended up not being upset with me (oh gosh. if he were it would have been catastrophic.. i was super mad by that time) and we had to run back up to make the movie. michael calls and well, he's a good boy and he listens to me and he sold john's ticket so we didn't lose out on $6 bucks. anyway i bike up and greg tries to take the shuttle, but the shuttle fails and greg ends up running/jogging/walking the whole way. and yeah we started watching the movie!
and that part was great. (: the movie. wowee. it was such a rollercoaster.
*don't worry this isn't much of a spoiler*
then at this part where the joker starts fooling around with the electricity in the scene, our power actually DOES go out. dang it. and the power STAYED out. man. that super sucked because we had to then wait almost an hour to get our vouchers and now we have to fight the crowd yet AGAIN to get into the movie for good seats. a lot of us didn't want to sit through another two hours of the movie b/c it's just too much to handle y'know? but now that it has all subsided and we recooped, i think we can handle it...
so we tried to go again this morning at 11:20. but of course. do i ever wake up? uh. no. never
well actually i did. but uh. still got there too late. poor john. he was waiting, when i thought he was just goinna go in. so epic fail-- all the good seats were taken and even the cashier told us, ppl are returning their tix because all the good seats were taken. man people are so hardcore.
so now, none of us have seen the last thirty minutes of the movie yet. (worst movie ever to have a power outtage in the middle of, if it were any other movie-- except wall-e-- i wouldn't even care!) and now we're banking on meeting up on tuesday night or something..
dark knight is definitely going to set the record for the most watched in one weekend. i feel sad and sorry for heath ledger, he should have been here to see it. oh but i feel pretty bad for katie holmes. what in the world was she thinking?! going to do a sucker like "mad money" instead of dark knight? she's probably hitting herself in the head repeatedly now b/c maggie (oh she's such a cutie!) is totally geting tons of press.
anyway. after the disappointment of not seeing dark knight (sorry again john!), greg and i decided to walk around evanston a little and well, lucky for us there was this hardcore bike race going on. so-- there was also a lot of free stuff :P we got samples of jamba juice and whole foods stuff like organic bananas, crackers, energy bars and energy drinks without caffeine. There were lots of water bottles being given out but i didn't take any cuz they all looked pretty cheap and chemical releasing to me. and then i filled out this survey about how much i exercise (heh. never) and i got a free two-in-one clock and photo frame! i'm excited. (:
the race was pretty exciting, man they go SOO fast. when they started the women's race, this one biker was sooo ahead of the group that for safety reasons, they just let her out and announced her as the winner. that sucks for so many reasons! 1) she didn't get to finish the race-- well understandably for safety reasons, 2) she won, but man, she was just getting started! she doesn't even have a winning time to have on record. 3) all the other bikers must have felt bad that they just started the race yet, they already lost.
well. i'm sure she still felt pretty accomplished. and the other gals still sped along anyway. so what am i harping about? i'm not sure either. maybe just teenage angst. i have a lot of that lately...
------
btw i realize with my lack of doing any writing for two years, i really suck at it now. like, i always knew i wasn't very good. but man. i'm definitely jacking up grammar and spelling and it's pretty much destined, the day i make an eloquent post-- well no need to think about that... it just won't happen. heh. :P

fries, strega nona, and the little prince
so last night. i finally got to see greg after like four days. heh. i know. i'm so lame.
anyway! after dinnah we went for a walk and then i had the brilliant idea to go read children's books outloud to each other at barnes and noble. (insert *aww*) haha. no, not to be sappy-- i just wanted to see his taste in children's books.
so we went for strega nona and when i saw the little prince (which greg asked about because my sister has a lot of laminated post cards of the little prince), well, it was a pretty obvious decision.
so strega nona was short and cute, but overall, pretty meaningless. i remember loving the book-- in what?-- 2nd grade! ah yes, the second grade class even did a video report on it. i had to play some towns person and because she was cuter (seriously she was the mean girl queen even in second grade) Pearl* got to be the reporter and she chose the questions to ask me. but man, were her questions boring! i got so bored. pearl got all this air talking time asking me long winded questions, but they were all yes or no... but the answer to ALL of them-- was no. so you can imagine this ..
Pearl: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
me: no.
pearl: blah blah blah blabity blah blah blah?
me: no. *starts fidgeting*
and so on. so naturally, i started getting really bored and uninterested in my position. so i considered her next question very seriously. "did you ever touch the pasta pot that strega nona had?" and i decided that i was a very adventurous curious townsperson. and i answered "yes."
man. did pearl ever get more confused/angry. lol. dude i would so go back in time and give myself kudos for throwing everyone off. haha. i remember being sad that everyone was so angry with me. but hey. i did something different, and i sure as heck wasn't goinna listen to what pearl was goinna tell me.
anyway. back to my pseudo date with greg, we read the little prince together too. at first i tried reading it outloud but it's a pretty wordy book, so we opted for fighting over turning the page faster.
here: have a picture
i remember when i tried reading the book as an 8 year old, when my sisters were 12 and 16 and were in love with the book, i didn't like it. at all. it made me sad, and i was confused about what had happened to the little prince. i tried getting my sister to explain it to me, but i don't think they really understood what was going on either. heh.
anyway. if you haven't read the book, you should really go try it.
“Goodbye,” said the fox. “Here is my secret. It’s quite simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes. . . . It’s the time that you spent on your rose that makes your rose so important. . . . People have forgotten this truth,” the fox said, “But you mustn’t forget it. You become responsible for what you’ve tamed. You’re responsible for your rose. . . .”
the fox also refers to being tamed, as creating bridges and connections with people. and i couldn't help but laugh at how much the relationship of the little prince and his little flower seemed so much like that of an insecure girl and her boyfriend trying to fend to her every need. anyway, it was nice that he learned that he loved his flower, despite everything, and that his flower had tamed him, and he had learned to tame others. isn't that the basic goal of everyone in this world? to love someone?and have someone love you back? seems that way to me...
anyway. frank sinatra says it best.
in other words, please be true.
in other words, i love you!
happy 1yr and 10 mo.

our parking structure is too confusing for even the birds
i saved a life!!
haha. no, it's actually more like, i saved a bird. and by saved a bird i mean chased it around-- in a meaningful way of course. :P
ok ok ok, so basically i was going to Jewel with the mother and in the parking structure of my building, we noticed this little lost brown pidgeon (i'm guessing that it was a young female.. not sure though). anyway, the poor thing probably got scared by the cars and made it way up the building looking for an exit, but once you get past the garage door, there are no exit holes large enough for a bird- maybe a bug, but not a living, breathing bird. so my heart melted a little for the poor thing. it makes one mistake and now it's doomed to die of dehydration in a yucky smelly garage far away from its family. so naturally, i try to fix that mistake.
heh. this is where the running came in handy. basically i just scared the bird all the way down and around out of the parking structure. poor thing, i tried fake chirping to make it feel better, but i definitely butchered the aves language.
running down a parking structure in one inch heels with random people driving by completely confused. but eh, i think it was worth it. i feel like i saved a life anyway.
----
it actually reminds me of a time a bird got confused and flew from its nest in tree in my house doorway into my house one late night. the poor little bird tried furiously to fly up, but kept on bonking its head into the ceiling. eventually it knocked itself out and my dad carefully picked it up with paper bags and gloves and set it outside. i got so sad because when we turned on the lights there were little red circles of blood on our ceiling. not that i was upset that our house was stained, but i felt so sorry for that little bird that made one little mistake in a state of confusion.
anyway. it should be noted that after my dad stepped away from the bird and left it lying on our front lawn, it got up and flew away. i hope the poor thing didn't loose too much blood. birds have families too y'know.
haha. no, it's actually more like, i saved a bird. and by saved a bird i mean chased it around-- in a meaningful way of course. :P
ok ok ok, so basically i was going to Jewel with the mother and in the parking structure of my building, we noticed this little lost brown pidgeon (i'm guessing that it was a young female.. not sure though). anyway, the poor thing probably got scared by the cars and made it way up the building looking for an exit, but once you get past the garage door, there are no exit holes large enough for a bird- maybe a bug, but not a living, breathing bird. so my heart melted a little for the poor thing. it makes one mistake and now it's doomed to die of dehydration in a yucky smelly garage far away from its family. so naturally, i try to fix that mistake.
heh. this is where the running came in handy. basically i just scared the bird all the way down and around out of the parking structure. poor thing, i tried fake chirping to make it feel better, but i definitely butchered the aves language.
running down a parking structure in one inch heels with random people driving by completely confused. but eh, i think it was worth it. i feel like i saved a life anyway.

it actually reminds me of a time a bird got confused and flew from its nest in tree in my house doorway into my house one late night. the poor little bird tried furiously to fly up, but kept on bonking its head into the ceiling. eventually it knocked itself out and my dad carefully picked it up with paper bags and gloves and set it outside. i got so sad because when we turned on the lights there were little red circles of blood on our ceiling. not that i was upset that our house was stained, but i felt so sorry for that little bird that made one little mistake in a state of confusion.

wowza it's about time i started one of these
to be quite honest. i stopped using my xanga years and years ago. like. when i started college two years ago :P but i really missed it. and i fell out of touch with highschool friends. and i started missing my old self. well. hopefully this summer i can get back into the groove and have a new anchor point to communicate with old friends. i've been meaning to get this up and running at the start of the summer. but i waited. for what? not exactly sure. but the point is. it has started and now the blogs will be coming. i don't guarantee, however, that they'll necessarily be interesting. hopefully, though, hopefully.
