Sort of upset. And not.

Last month, Mikkkee told me about Melee coming to Berkeley to give a free concert (today). So at 4 pm, I headed down to lower Sproul (taking a leave of work) just to see them. I get there…and I don\’t recognize the music or the band. So I assume it\’s the previous band that is playing. Then another band comes on. I think it\’s Melee, because it\’s four people. and OMG i start bobbing my head. No band deserves the bobbing of my head. Eventually, I discover it\’s a band from Santa Cruz Suburban Legends…which played so-so music. I look at the concert program and Melee is not listed. I aska girl who is staffing the merchandise table and she says that Melee has already played. Later, I check online on the website…and it turns out Melee was supposed to have played. MMMPH NOT HAPPY. Yeah, that was my interesting event of the afternoon. What I skipped out finishing a resident\’s hacked computer for…

But Melee rocks anyway!

And…cheez and tan tan got their b-day package I had promised! :D I had dropped off the package last Saturday afternoon and it didn\’t arrive until today. :p

And why does the Fedex tracking says Duluth, WI and then says Duluth, MN. Hm.

I hear sirens in Berkeley almost at least once a day. And some people are afraid of being in an earthquake here more than anything.

Yesterday night, Boris imed me asking me to go to Blakes for…\”dancing\”. Of course, I can\’t say no to someone like Boris. And lately I have been thinking how this is going to be my last year in Berkeley and I have yet to try the Berkeley nightlife. Well, I\’ll just say now that the Berkeley nightlife isn\’t for me.

So around 11:40 pm, I was standing on the corner of Telegraph and Channing waiting for Boris to show. There was a \”couple\” who kept telling me that they were married and it was oh-so great. Then a couple groups of obviously drunk people. When he finally showed me, we stood in line. If it wasn\’t for my white camisole, I don\’t think I would have fit in with all these preppy clubbing-type makeup-all-over twenty somethings. To my shock and dismay, we found out that there was a cover charge of $5. I reluctantly paid it while they checked my id. (yeah, the powers of being 21)

Boring music. We stayed there for an hour and only one good song was played on. Sweaty people kept (accidentally) bumping into me. Ew. What\’s more, the \”couples\” kept grinding and humping into me. I don\’t want to be knocked over!

So after seeing a former high school \”friend\” who I think didn\’t recognize me…but gave me a pseudo-hug anyway and after having to breathe the strong perfume of some twentysomethings, we left.

Five dollars wasted.

In other BIG news, Naim has decided to unblock me!

I tabled today for the Cal\’s fair for student organizations aka Calapalooza. For my club, the BLAH REPUBLIC Yes we have a club about blogging and yes it does defeat the purpose of having a blog. But we teach people how to blog…how to do html…how to write scripts so that blogging is easier.

But the funny thing is that about 80% of the people that stopped by the table did not know what a blog is. Or a Xanga. Or a livejournal. Sort of shocking!

I walked by the Queer Clubs and a girl leapt out at me. To my surprise, she handed me a flyer to join the Cal Queer Women organization. OMG CAT, AM I TURNING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I decided to work 10.5 hours today (straight without much breaks beyond me going on aim and trying to take a breather) since noon. It was more exhausting than I thought. At one point, I was fixing three laptops, answering questions from residents, and monitoring the computing center all at the same time. There was one particular annoying resident whose computer got hacked…so that it was spamming everyone on the network. You would think she would be shut up by the severity of the problem, but she told us not to touch/look her files (her paranonia)…made self-pitying jokes (OH YOU\’RE GETTING FOOD? ARE YOU GOING TO GET SOME FOR ME?). Obnoxious? But she likes me. I don\’t know if that\’s a good thing.

In the morning, I helped Xing. :D Just a lesson to newbies out there…don\’t exaggerate what skills you do NOT have.

I have been out of my apartment since 8 am until 10:44 pm. More than 14 hours!

In other news, I have had very strange dreams lately. First, I dreamt that I was being rewarded for something and they gave me floss as a hint. Then, I dreamt that Justine made a pass at me although I am straight. SOBBY.

Also my college. I COPY LELE. What is so great about Berkeley is that Asians are the dominant ethicity wheras the Caucasians are a minority. And how the average gpa in high school is a 4.29. Berkeley is also number 18 on the list of \”is it food?\” aka WORST DORM FOOD IN THE NATION.

The last summer has sucked away a lot of my social anxiety, although now I am worried a lot about my repercussions of speaking aloud. I feel like I am more annoying and obnoxious now. And then I think, if I had said nothing at all, people would only think of me shy…rather than loud and rude.

On Sunday, I had little fears of making a 5 minute speech to 500 freshmen along with 10 VERY OUTGOING RAs. Today, I had to make 5 minute speeches several times throughout the day to rooms of 30 residents. And not only that, I had to make conversation with new people I met every 15 minutes.

At the same time, I know I am deeply cruel and sadistic. If I had a bigger voice, I would be a major BISH. That worries me.

The last few days, I realized…that one of the best feelings in the world is making someone laugh. TEE HEE.

The best part of move-in day (which I had to staff as part of my job) is watching the parents of the fresh meat. They are obviously hysterical and controlling of their children. Most of them don\’t think their child can do a single thing independently.

But most of all, I got a kick out of watching people get parking tickets. Oh I am sooo sadistic.
