wow! and i haven't blogged in a pretty long time...
so my nose is stuffed up, yet it's like a faucet that isn't turned off properly and keeps on dripping...and it's driving me INSANE! i just want to chop off my nose, turn it upside down, stick it UNDER the sink tap, and CLEAN IT! REALLY!!! ugh....it's ALMOST as bad as when i get one of those headaches where i want to cut my head off, stick it in a plastic bag...and throw it in the dumpster....
dress episode: (soap #928365)
so kirsten's sewing my halloween costume, and it's quite form fitting...i now know that my bustline is CLEARLY larger then my waistline..*whew!* and unfortunately, the way my costume is made, i must put the whole thing over my head...and it includes going PAST the waist...and that's where we get ME....stuck with my arms waving around in the air...oh wait...did i say waving? that's wrong...i was just....stuck...i couldn't even move my arms if i wanted to...and then i had to get it off...but did i mention? it was STUCK...so kirsten had to pull it off my head...fortunately she lives in a girl's rez and is quite used to seeing ppl half-naked...
yes...i DID see georges pink heart boxers...quite by accident...but COME ON! didn't you look soooo cute?!?!?!? ;p *giggles*
and yes...we did have fun at dim sum...it was quite scary, considering he was completely relying on ME to converse in cantonese/mandarin with the serving cart ppl...but luckily, he eats frogs legs! ahahahaha!

note to self:
so the next time you're home alone with grandma, and she starts SHAKING like a leaf...go open a can of coke (not DIET coke) and give her some to drink...she's most likely not got enuf sugar in her system...and while i'm doing that...DON'T FREAK!
not that i did or anything...but it's quite traumatizing to see grandma shaking like her time has come or something...luckily mom and dad were home too...tho we didn't know what to do till aunty anne came over and made everything all better!
still...to a certain degree, this is quite a wake-up call...the fact that i LIVE with my grandmother yet i don't seem to see her, EVER. not that i've been doing that on purpose, i haven't...but i'm outta the house by 7am (or earlier) and by the time i come home at nite (10ish pm) she's in her room watching her chinese soaps or in bed...but the point is, she's not exactly a spring chicken anymore, and she won't be around forever, so i must make the most of the time i have left with her.

wow! good times tonite!
we went to see "hollywood bollywood" at the bloor cinemas and we saw the actress who played "twinky" and marko went and got her autograph...then mu took us to this indian place next door where georges bought me some pita bread which was really good...but the BACLAVA which was even BETTER!!! wow! it's better then making out with someone!
so i've been EXTREMELY busy these past few weeks...and everyone's stressing...georges called right after my piano lesson today and we went to the UC quad and sat outside for an hour before my poli sci lecture...it's soooo beautiful and peaceful there! like something out of a movie...like the secret garden...wow...and we just talked and relaxed...and the sun was shining and we were watching a squirrel jump into a garbage can and the hybid pigeons walking around with their multi-colored wings!
i'm feeling good!

i miss my life-sci friends...i ran into mimi today...her hair looks awesome! i felt so bad that i was rushing off to class, but i was...i never see ava anymore...we were sooooo tight last year...we had mostly the same classes, and i'd pick her up at her st. george apartment in the morning and we'd walk to class together...she helped me start working out and think more about my health...i see robert and winsion and adele at the library sometimes, but it's rare...we're soooo busy...christian, edward and jay are in my botany class but i feel as if i don't have any classes with them...GABS! where are you? i'm so scared that i might pass you on the street but not know it...even worse...NOT passing you on the street...i remember you used my ID card all the time...we looked alike! john, tom, dominic, mark pahuta and nasser...we used to study in those private rooms at kelly on the 2nd floor...that was sooo funny that i found you guys there two weeks ago! some habits die hard! remember robarts 5th floor? "studying"? i don't think so..."rob...i know NOTHING for this exam! teach me EVERYTHING in TWO HOURS! GO!!!" ahahahaa...and then i wondered why everyone did well, cept for me...except that jay knows to come ask me questions these days...
karina almost made me cry today...she brought up the three of us chilling with tanaka in the student council...we had like 5 spares a day, and we spent soooo much time in there that valarie kept getting mad at us and saying "guys...we have a mtg...and you're not part of council...so you gotta go" bitch...and then we'd go chill in our dingy cafeteria with awesome chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon buns and french fries...when i used to eat so much more and NOT workout...thanx for the recap, fool! (you know who you are)
and satchmo! tanaka trying to call maureen but she wouldn't answer her name till she called satchmo and that's her nickname whether she likes it or not...best friends from day 1 of gr. 9...till the end...i can't wait till we go up to queens...maija who i haven't seen since commencement last august, tanaka i haven't seen since we last went shopping at yorkdale....summer?!?!?! faye since her birthday at movenpick (even when we went to pick up her camera at her house in the middle of the night....AND i remembered where she lived even tho i'd only been to her place ONCE!) and karina?!?!? frosh week?!?!?!
karen lam...we're supposed to meet up and study saturday afternoons...but i'm quickly coming to this revelation that it's NOT happening...you're WAY too busy with forensics, and i'm WAY too busy period. i think i need to cry...but i have no tears...i want to talk to someone...but who's the right person? i'm finding it much too difficult to keep up with life right now...it's going much too fast...i'm falling behind...someone catch me please...
THE "QUARTER-LIFE CRISIS"
It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn`t know and may not like.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren`t exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones.
You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not.
You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you cry and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
The stupid ones plateau, the smart ones rise. You get your heartbroken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can`t meet anyone decent enough to get to know better.
What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it and we are all in this together. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.
We are friends, and in 10 years we will be friends who have figured out where we fit in in this world. If people expect sincerity from others, they should be sincere, otherwise do not expect anything at all. Having heart to heart conversations is being real. Wish you and myself all the best of luck. Put unhappiness aside and go with the flow..*

"Your love is like a river
peaceful and deep
your soul is like a secret
That I could never keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must of spent
A little more time
On you"
NSYNC
so how was my day?
it started off with flo being late mtg up with me...flo man...i had a MIDTERM to be studying for!
and then we got coffee at timmy ho's (cuz coffee is an ESSENTIAL morning element to make my day work!) AND then as i was washing out my coffee cup in the women's washroom in brennan hall, i saw the LARGEST CENTIPEDE in my life....it was the size of half my hand...with the longest legs ever....i got outta there in no time!
then i'm at the library in my own little botany world of kindom chromista's and rhodyphyta's...when FELIX had the audacity to give me a freaking heart attack! he forgot that i was wearing earplugs and thought i heard him coming....obviously NOT! and EVEN THEN...he continues to make rackets...hello?!?!? is it me or is a library a place for quiet? maybe it IS me...either way...fe and his friend were playing italian cards and i was just ITCHING to grab his neck to find his larynx and PULL IT OUT! ugh....
so i was supposed to meet jay at 1pm at the hanger...and in my messed up head, i thought it was 1pm so i left to meet jay....to realize that it was only 12pm...can you imagine? the tizzy fe puts me in! *sigh*
and then that whole thing where i was the first person done the midterm in just under 40mins...so either
a) i was NOT prepared
or
b) maybe i was
but then...there's also
c) it's freaking multiple choice
meh...whatever...we'll see
and then i'm working out at the AC and i run (literally) into reza...who's also just started running...and we run for like a full 50mins...man...my thigh muscles are killing me....
and now i'm hungry...

"It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love "
Shania Twain
i love popo's and gong gong's they always give red pocket money whenever they come...it doesn't matter that it's not your birthday, or christmas, or chinese new year...they give it cuz they haven't seen you in such a long time...and even if they HAVE seen you...same deal! mwahahahaaa! so now i have extra money for MORE clothes! teehee! hmmm...maybe i should save some of this money for something better...like...maybe a new PHONE! (you know...cuz i like to kill my old one) or....maybe a little car...yeh...a car would be good...but i really don't think the $50 i got will make the cut...ahahahaaaa!
this botany will kill me....i'm stupid...i make such a huge deal over this ONE test...hmmm...maybe it's the first one?!?!? just maybe...cuz afterall, this will show me if i'm not studying enuf or if i'm doing ok...well...not reallly....but still...my summer classes really helped me with my studying skills and i'm soooo scared that they'll go down the drain now that i have so many more "distractions"...
BUT....i'm meeting up with jay to go over the botany exam...cuz our prof is all smart and gives up the answers...blah
ok...you know i HAVEN'T been studying when i tell you i've watched "ghost" tonite, "footloose" and "gilmore girls"....well the gilmore girls doesn't count cuz i was working out during that time...but STILL...now i gotta go!

Thursday, October 17, 2002
so i was coming home from "the foxes den" with georges, marko, v something (i can't spell his name) and r something (can't spell his either) and i was going to the yonge and bloor station...when i passed the yonge and bloor intersection...there were ambulances and fire trucks and police all over the place...and me being the curious kitty that i am, asked a passerby what was going on...so apparently an advertising truck clipped the edge of a crane that was on the north west corner of yonge and bloor...and the crane tipped over onto a building that was in the middle of construction...and there were hurt ppl ON the building...and even tho i didn't exactly WITNESS it...it looked pretty bad...and plus...i could hear the ppl on the building and it didn't sound very good...in a sense...it was kinda traumatizing...i spent my time on the subway reading plato's "republic" to take my mind off that event...
AND btw...on the subway...freakiest couple...i think they were both women...or a really ugly man...making out with another lady...man...i concentrated sooo hard on the book i was reading...it was freaky...wow...now i know why i wake up so freaking early in the morning to hitch car rides with lisa....cuz i really don't miss the sardines in the cans and the freakshows...
georges gene formula just wasn't programmed to study in the library...i hauled his ass there tonite...i was like...i promise if we study for an hour, we'll go out afterwards...and i went and studied...i had my earplugs in...i had my cue cards out...i had my lecture notes in front of me...and my huge ass textbook...and i was in my own little world...and totally assuming that georges' reading his philosophy textbook...and then i take a side glance and realize he's sprawled on the table sleeping...ahahahaaa....i didn't have the heart to hit him on the head and make him study...good luck in philosophy! ;p
i wonder if marko will ever grace "the foxes den" ever again...so he's having a deep business conversation with one of the guys...but he wanted to order something from the menu...and so i flagged down a waitress but i didn't want to interrupt the conversation and i tell the waitress so...she's like "what's his name?" and i'm like "marko"...and she goes "MARKO" (with the accent and the rolling of the tongue on the 'r') and marko's head whips round to see who called him cuz apparently she sounded just like his mom when she was mad...and we all started laughing...there's actually more to it...but i can't really remember so i won't even try and make anymore of it sound funnie...so that's the end of that...
our communal blog is pretty fun...i realize now what a nerd i am...always blogging...have i no life? yep...well...maybe i just don't want to study...that could be it...but i DO...yehhhhh....

and my botany lecture was HILARIOUS! the prof was lecturing about fungal diseases and mentioned ringworms...and he said that he once contacted that disease on his leg from a locker room and then he tried to grow the fungus from his leg in a petri dish...and then tried to cultivate it on his other leg...and only stopped when his wife wouldn't sleep in bed with him anymore! thanks prof! i really needed to know that! and THEN he went on about ringworms on the groin and i was sooo scared that he'd say he got some sorta ringworm disease on his groin and tried to cultivate THAT!
This is from georges.... hi. And now back to miau...
hahaha...so we've started a new blog...it's a team thingy with me, georges and flo so far... you can check it out here we're just silly ppl with WAY too much time on our hands!

i love you flo! ok...that's because if it wasn't for her and her family eating at vinnie zucchini's i'd have NOT gone out today...and i really really needed to get out of the house! i love the cold crisp air and the crunchy leaves...when you have a really warm scarf, gloves and hat...otherwise it's not fun...but I DID! so ames and i picked up flo, her bro tony, and her cuz bess from vinnie's and trekked to timmy ho's where it was completely insane! anyone who knows flo...knows how she is....CRAZY!!!! ...now....times that by 3...and you get...whoa! now i know why flo is soooooo nutty! it runs in the family!
i've slept the entire afternoon away! dad has his childhood best friend's from HK over playing MJ, so i've been sleeping, watching tv, and surfing the net....whoa...how long has it been since i've done THAT?!?!?! gala pics are up! thanx to my aunt eva who brought her pics over and i've scanned them in and they are now on my website here
so ames went and chopped off all her hair too! i went with her to the hairdresser's yesterday and watched them painstakingly cut off all her hair...it's now in a short ASYMMETRICAL bob...she gets all her short hairdo's from charisma carpenter (angel) and because my sister has such a nice thin face, they totally work on her...i hate her...she looks GREAT with that look! *sigh* just watching them cut and style her hair made me want to do that too...except for the fact that i DON'T have the face structure...hahahaaa...however, she's now afraid that ppl will go up to her and tell her that they didn't cut her hair straight! ;p no worries ames! you're just a fashion trend setter!
grace and juju came over for dinner...we had a nice turkey that ames wouldn't eat cuz she heard on the mojo radio that all turkey's have maggots in them...silly girl...gave up an awesome dinner! uncle stephen took us to timmy ho's (oh..wait...he didn't us on a whim...grace had to beg him and sell him her soul) and only grace and i actually bought anything...you see...juju's on some odd diet or something cuz she has to be at a wedding nov 1 and wants to look thin (not that she isn't thin already) and so she's not really eating much...but get this...my silly cuz has a packet of mickey d's sugar in her purse...which she takes out and proceeds to EAT...*sigh*...some ppl are alcoholics and/or snort cocaine...my cousin eats sugar...geez
what an unproductive long weekend...i must admit that i've done absolutely...NOTHING...that's right...i haven't studied or done any hw...(tho...i did DO all my hw the day i spent at kelly...so that's good) ...i've slept more then my share and now i don't think i'll be needing to sleep tonite...and i've watched alot of tv...wow! did i mention that i can't study at home? hmmm...i wonder why...maybe...too many distractions?!?!?!
Saturday, October 12, 2002
good times! ruth and alice organized a surprise anniversary dinner for their parents...and invited the WHOLE FAMILY...and i mean the WHOLE FAMILY...all of my dad's 4 sisters and 3 brothers (tho...1 lives in HK so that doesn't count) but it was really nice of them. i mean...with all the fucked up inner turmoil...we had a nice dinner with no deaths in the family....alexandra looks GREAT! she's growing up so fast...it's amazing how different everyone looks when you don't see them very often...but we've promised each other that i will take her out to breakfast at timmy ho's one day...reina and erica are just shooting up like weeds, they're soooo cute! and LUKE! wow...luke is WAY cuter in person! he's got the biggest eyes in the world! they just see everything...and drools like the devil! ;p tho...i must admit that i'm worried about that bald spot that's at the back of his head...he should get that fixed before he actually grows up...i'm totally predicting him to be a total hottie when he's older...girls! WATCH OUT! ;p
auntie gen, hwang and ron are just amazing...i really miss their cottage...we used to go up in the summer and the winter and it would be just us cousins and them and we'd chill and relax for a couple days with no parents bugging us...i really really miss those days...cross country skiing, chasing woodpeckers, picking berries on the side of the road, catching toads, going canoing in the morning with the mist and loons....SWIMMING!

Before you break my heart

i'm tired tho...been up since 8am to get to work at 9:45am...it's been a crazy day filled with holes as student's parents decided that they'd rather be with family this weekend...leaving me with gaps the size of texas...i've cut my hair...and no...i didn't cut it ALL off...i still have hair...so flo...no worries...tho...i miss it already...even tho it was like 8 inches of split ends...that i have no more...but i'm thinking of buying that vitamin thingy that hair dresser dude sprayed in my hair...it's called fusion or something...and if ames goes tomorrow, i'll get dad to buy it...hahahaaaa...did i mention that i was at the hair dresser's for 2 hrs?!?!? something about my hair being thick and long...and the time it took to blow dry it...hahahaaaa...classic...
EXCUSE ME...i DO NOT...look like ELVIRA....

you are drunk if you:
laugh your ass off at anything and everything
try to lie on the grass and look up at the stars that you can't see
try to roll off a bed for fun
can't breathe, hence needing to suck up air from the window like a maniac
try to drink vodka thinking it's water
throw your phone HARD against the concrete wall
run thru the corridor running into the wall in order to get to the bathroom
making your guy friend stand in a corner of the hallway so that you can GO to the bathroom
running DOWN the stairwell at break neck speed in HEELS
letting friends run around the dark looking for you while you sit on a bench WATCHING them look for you
break down emotionally and telling your life story to the friends that have FINALLY found you
hmmm...i wonder who i'm describing...hahahaa!
on a side note:
HAPPY B-DAY AND CONGRATS LISA!!!!
lisa had the most number of votes for the council election...amazing! i'm so proud of you!
so we went out last nite to celebrate her birthday and victory...8 of us at gabby's...7 girls and one guy...georges! hahaha! we had a GREAT time...considering i spent most of the time preoccupied...and lisa LOVED her b-day present...a digital camera! she was really MAD at first...cuz she didn't need us to this...but we wanted to...you know we luv ya!
"Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
But now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought a chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
But now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought a chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
Just when I thought a chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
You went and saved the best for last"
Vanessa Williams
i hope everyone has a good thanksgiving...i know it will be AWESOME to wake up later then 9am and partying with my girls and family! and yay shopping!

ohohoh! so i've read 100 pgs of plato's Republic and i still have 112 more pgs to go! UGH! can you imagine? spend the whole day at the library reading plato and that's how far i get? ok...so i lied...i didn't REALLY spend the whole day at kelly...only the morning and an hour in the afternoon...the rest of the day was a time warp...working out at the AC and chilling at smcsu was also part of my diet....HEY! georges got me cookies 'n cream ice cream! thanx! yum!
my 2 hr nite lecture was quite brutal...my professor is soooo attention deficit that i could prolly get up and teach that course if i really really wanted to....(well...i'd also have to get paid for it too) there's the cutest guy in my class, named ben...and last week he did this foot rubbing on my arm...which was REALLY nice...except for the part that he's gay...that's also prolly why i LET him do the foot rubbing in the first place...HELLO??!!!?! would i be nutty enuf to let ANYONE do that? I THINK NOT!
so i ran into andrew today (he's the editor for "the mike") and we went back to elmsley so i could view the pics from the gala...wow it was good! he emailed me some pics and they're great...too bad i'm too lazy to post them up...hahahaaaa...ok...shutting up now...
is it just me or is toronto weather really really messed up? it's sooooo freezing cold outside...but i have the urge to strip indoors...so i wear tank tops and 5 outerlayers...booooo...and then i wonder why my bag is always full...hahahaha
the rest of my week looks soooo scary...it's completely crammed full of busyness...i really want to talk to a certain person...but i cannot because this person is always very busy...i am always busy...and we can never really get time to ourselves...oh well...i guess i can wait...who says virgo's are impatient? ;p well...off to lala land...and timmy ho's is my first stop tomorrow morning! yay!

"I don't wanna understand this horror
There's a weight in your eyes, I can't admit
Everybody ends up here in bottles
But the nametags the last thing you wanted
As the world explodes we fall out of it
And we can't let go because this
Will not go away
There's a house built out in space
I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
But I can be your, be your
Someone help us understand who ordered
This disgusting arrangement with time and the end
I don't wanna hear who walked on water
Because the hallways are empty, clock ticks
As the world explodes we falling to it
And we can't go on because this
Will not go away
There's a house built out in space
I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
It's a long, long get away
It's a long, long get away
Make it home again
Make it home again
It's a long, long get away
It's a long, long get away"

dad bought me a new watch. it's exactly the same as my old one...but it's newer...hahahahaaaa...and it's got these little dangly things on the side of the watch that make it sooo girly. i love it!
i've decided that i will not be curling at the bayview country club this winter....it's a fun sport and all...but i don't really like going to a place where it's dominanted by white snotty ppl...they don't necessarily think they're better then me...they just act snotty...and i hate ppl like that...i always figured that they'd get nicer or something once they got to know me...but they don't really want to get to know anyone new...they're all in their own cliches...elementary school all over again...i don't need that kinda crap from 14yr olds...so i'm sorry grace, ju and moo....i won't be there this winter...i'd rather spend my sunday afternoon's sleeping, shopping, sleeping, maybe doing hw, oh..did i mention sleeping?
i haven't done anything really special or important this weekend...just worked friday nite and saturday...talked on the phone with georges for over 2 hrs...which is ALOT...watched "dr. doolittle 2", went shopping...oooooh...and talked to my brother, carl...the good thing tho, is that my hw is all done! now it's just studying and making notes....except for "REPUBLIC"...that book is BRUTAL! *sigh* off to reading i go!

whew! i'm glad i'm done with the mad thing...tho i wasn't the mad person...i was the madeee...the person being mad at...does that make sense?!?! anyway...mom and dad got mad...but they're ok now...i guess they have a reason to be mad...remember that whole thing about buying out all of 'gap' and 'jacob'? yeh well...i spent like $130 there today for some awesome new clothing! i literally walked into jacob, found a BEAUTIFUL pair of black pants...and walked out of the store wearing them!!! ;p call me nutty...but that's what i do! yeh...unfortunately, i had to take them off so they could take the security tag off them...too bad they couldn't just take it off my ass....oops!

If I had a $1000000
I'd build a tree fort in our yard
If I had $1000000
You could help, it wouldn't be that hard
If I had $1000000
Maybe we could put like a little tiny fridge in there somewhere
You know, we could just go up there and hang out
Like open the fridge and stuff
There would be already laid out foods for us
Like little pre-wrapped sausages and things

We'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more.
If I had a $1000000
We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner
But we would eat Kraft Dinner
Of course we would, we’d just eat more

VOTE LISA AND JOE FOR SMCSU!!!!!
i'm really tired so i'll just mosey along with my account of happenings about and around st. mikes...i went swimming with gabe and lisa at gabe's apartment in the bay charles towers! that was fun! lisa wore a bikini...i frankly, don't have the guts to wear one, so i was in a two piece bathing suit...and i was damn proud of that too! now...i love lisa and gabe to death...but next time i go...i'd like company...rather then being the third wheel (even tho they tried soooo hard to make sure i DIDN'T feel left out!) but gabe, the sweetheart that he is...made me a "rubens" sandwich later on after our swim! thanx gabe! mwa!!!
did i mention that i'm now part of the italian club? that's right...who knew i was half italian?!?!? ;p and after they found out i'd joined, then john and georges went and joined...and then marko got all jealous and didn't want to be left out...and went and joined too! aren't i great at promoting things? massimo's all happy now! tho i can't say much about the kid he was supposed to tutor tonite!
i LOVE walking along bloor street at night...it's quite peaceful (not really quiet)...with few people crowding the sidewalks...i love window shopping...gap came out with their winter clothes...eeeeeeee!!! they're awesome! i wanted to walk into the store and buy out their whole collection..fortunately the stores were closed so i saved myself alot of money and grief...holt renfrew always has beautiful store displays, like the machimo stuff that's out right now...and zara...*sigh* zara always has the most exquisite clothes...too bad i'm not rich...i can only stand there and stare at the beautiful clothes in wonder and awe...and with i had money...AND the figure....
marko and i studied in georges room tonite...tho...georges wasn't there...what kind of host are you?!?!? but it's alright...i don't think he studies in the same atmosphere as i do...he likes listening to music and bops along to that...i can't take it....i need QUIET in order to concentrate....unfortunately...after being the energizer bunny all day, i was sooooo tired...i still managed to get some studying done...good times!
