EDIT: Due to my so-called charisma, I was able to convince someone to drive me all the way to Staples. Okay, so he said that he wanted to go there too so I asked if I could come along. Supposedly he wanted to buy…staples at Staples! Despite the fact that he has never really heard me type, he CORRECTLY ASSUMED that I type \”too hard\” on my keyboard. I just dropped $35 on a Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard (the cool things about it is that it\’s black, silver buttons, works with winamp, the massive DELETE key is massive great for my ssh tasks). After the previous post, everything returned to normal except some keys weren\’t working. Funny thing is, all he did when he got to Staples was…advise me on what keyboard to get and buy a rice krispie treat. Then on the way back to Berkeley, we almost plowed into a car. (It was the fault of the car in front of us whose brake lights weren\’t working!) Now I \”BREAK INTO\” my new keyboard!!!

EDIT: I just realized that I almost died today. We saw smoke spew from the screeching of the tires. It\’s funny that my friend Behrad spent the next 5 minutes apologizing for swearing like a maniac.

I got a surprise in the mail. :D

Look look what TAN TAN from Minny Soda got me.

WHO IS THAT. I was too lazy to rip out all the blue tape from the frame.

Unfortunately like CHEEZ\’ sketch, I still have yet to find a place on the wall. I am worried that the manager of my apartment complex will charge me later when I move out…if I have holes in the wall.

When my parents saw the sketch, they were like…PEOPLE IN MINNY SODA MUST HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO…

What a small world!

So my aunt sent pictures from a wedding she recently attended to my mom. Of course I have to take care of it…and I download it for my mom. And I open it up and to my surprise, I see SOMEONE I recognize.

Apparently Alan is my second cousin. His dad\’s brother married my dad\’s sister!!! OMG RELATED. Too bad not by blood though. This discovery still does not prevent me from marrying him! AHAHAHAHAHA.

me: it\’s aunt susan
alan: holy shit that\’s MY AUNT
me: NO THAT\’S MY AUNT

I just opened a 11-month CD (sort of a savings account) today. Put $3000 of hard-earned money into it. And I can\’t use it until it matures.

Of course, I was blindly following my mom\’s advice because I would get an interest of 2.02%. Per year. So by next September, I will have made $60.

MOODY MOOD.

This morning I woke up at 8:30 am because my friend had asked me to go to breakfast (while on this subject, it turned out that his definition of a breakfast was to be at 11 am). Because I had to leave at 11, I made the breakfast for 9 despite my friend\’s groans of how early that is.

So I woke up today knowing that most likely my friend wouldn\’t make it. Knowing how he usually went to sleep late and waking up late. Knowing how he is usually 15-30 minutes late to class…well yeah. Despite all of that, I dragged myself out of my apartment by 8:40 am missing the 8:35 bus. I ran all the way down to Telegraph/Bancroft and caught the Perimeter which I took down all the way to Shattuck. From there I walked all the way to the restaurant.

On the way i tried to call my friend. But to my dismay (and frusturation), I discovered that his cell number had been disconnected. Apparently, he never told me his new cell phone number. And thoughts of how my friends in the past always never put their old numbers in…well, I thought that he probably didn\’t have my number at all. And I spent the next 5-10 minutes fuming about people\’s responsibility.

Not surprisingly, when I got there at 9:12 am, he was not there. Not going to waste a 30 minutes walk for nothing so I took a seat and ate breakfast by myself. The restaurant had a very casual decor. The top of the walls were painted with bookshelves. Tacky pictures laid on the wall. The server seemed to pitty me as I sat by myself watching a table with a mother and her son. Two egg sunny side up, potatoes with no sour cream, cheese puff. And of course homemade lemonade. It was nice eating there…by myself. Peaceful in a way. I wish that I had a notebook with me so that I could start writing.

I took the bus back. Not a surprise, I discover that my friend thought I was going to wake him up. And that we would go together. Eh. I think I am too independent for my own good.

Another one of my biggest pet peeves is when people call me Jen instead of Jenn. I know it\’s such a trivial difference, but it makes me feel oh so better to be called Jenn rather than Jen.

2 N\’S PLZ.

A plug for my sissy again! Sometimes we forget to be introspective and observant that we often write for audiences…forgetting about ourselves at all. Are blogs meant to entertain or to inform?

My bad habits have reached their epitome:

1. procrastination Is there a reason why I am always tired every day?

2. making fun of people behind their back I really don\’t know how this started, considering that I have always been fair of people in the past. Sometimes I catch myself telling others how to push a particular someone\’s buttons.

3. being late for class How did this happen? I used to always leave for my classes approximately 13 minutes before the hour. Now it has decreased to 5.

In spite of all that, my social anxiety has decreased. Yet as always whenever I enter a new place with unfamiliar faces, I want to be invisible.

And this is what I hear from many of my female friends (especially that resident from where where i work) – thanks aaron!

When my access to the Internet is down, I am very unhappy. Especially when I have CS homework due the following day. So last night, it went down around 10:30 pm and it went up intermittently for the next hour. Then it went down for good for approximately three hours. THANKS SBC for making my life hellish.

And apparently, I kept trying to troubleshoot it for an hour until I determined that it was the network\’s fault and not the modem or router. I might as well go to the CS lab right now instead of relying on my ISP to provide me with access.

So apparently the San Francisco Bay Area has the only sane counties in California. Why? I think we know why.

It\’s odd considering that the Bay Area is one of the areas that is hardest hit by a failing economy. Yet the majority here didn\’t vote for a recall nor did they vote for Ahhhnold if there was to be a recall.

It\’s odd how I am so fervent about this special election since I barely cared for the previous ones. The thing is…I still am very uninformed than the average voter. I mean, how many people are there without a TV? How many people are too cheap to purchase one? Yup.

If the governator fulfils his promises, he better lower my tuition back to what it was last year. Better yet, he can stop making movies.

Oh state of California, can you not succumb to superficiality?!

I remember when I was high school I was so amused by Clinton\’s possibility of impeachment. Despite the fact that I was being educated by very aware liberal teachers, I hoped that Clinton would get impeached…just because it would have been interesting. The first time that a president could be impeached! There\’s a photo of my sister and me holding a newspaper the day of Clinton\’s impeachment (through the House of Representatives).

Looking back, I see how stupid such an impeachment was. It\’s funny how I could excuse Clinton\’s lewd behavior now but not excuse that of the Terminator\’s. More likely though, it\’s because the Terminator hasn\’t held political office before and thus undermines his potential as an able governor. I know nobody (personally) that voted for a GOVERNATOR. My grandmother didn\’t. My parents didn\’t. My friends didn\’t. I definitely didn\’t. (H3H??!?!?!?!?!) And yet he ousts Davis.

It is interesting how people easily succumb to novelty and name recognition. But it\’s probably along the lines of…how senior citizens are very excited for the moment that they can roll out of their nursing homes to the polling locations to cast their ballot while apathetic college students (the vote that really matters since we will be ruling the nation quite soon) ignore all the protests occuring on campus the signs people chanting vote no on prop 54 and larry flynt speaking in the background…oh california…
