Now: Can't Get Enough of You Baby by Smash Mouth -- its such a fun song to sing into my makeshift mic (brush).

I should be sleeping.

Next year, Roomie and I will live in an apartment instead of these dorms, and I will have a cockatiel.

Reading on of my favorite blogs, Rhetoric & Rhyme, I found out just why Bush is a Lousy Speaker.

Which OS are You?

Several hours after I'd posted yesterday, Roomie and I watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I've never been so weirded out by a movie before in my life.



Right now, I'm just staring at the oozy cube of oozing ooze on my desk that Phillip's parents gave me for Christmas.

This will the be the doom of my academic career.

Happy Birthday to me. Back in SA.

New Year's Resolution: Don't hurt the cripple (Phillip).

New Year's Resolution (#2): Be less profane. [Expand vocabulary to better express myself.]

Do tell what yours is.

I already really really want to go back to San Antonio. I can't stand being in this house. Everything I do is scrutinized, analyzed, and criticized by my mother, the Conformist Asian Nazi from hell. I love spending time with my friends here, but once I come home (on time, even) I have to put up with her you-owe-me-because-I-let-you-out attitude. I want to say that my friends are worth that price, but, frankly, I can take only so much before I snap. If my brain had knees, they'd be buckling right about now.

On a brighter note: I visited the administration ladies, Mr. Phillip, and choral today. I found out that Mr. Phillip had taken my sunflower umbrella home one day when it rained. I can only imagine what the poor man looked like under an enormous sunflower. My "kids" in choir still love me -- I am not forgotten! :D I got my new glasses. I went to Milano's and used my stamp card to get a free cup of iced caramel latte.
