Where\\&#8217;s your battery pack?\\&#8221; Someone said yesterday.  About my very pink shirt from Hollister (a pseudo-A&#038;F store)  Right at that moment, I decided that I wouldn\\&#8217;t wear that shirt ever again.<\/p>\n<p>When I first wore this shirt, it was right during my first year as a RCC.  The moment that my coworker saw me.  He said, \\&#8221;PRETTY PINK.  LOOKS CUTE ON YOU.\\&#8221;  I was slightly embarrassed and didn\\&#8217;t wear the shirt again for a long time.  Not until I became vain and started taking <a href=\\\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/images\/webcam31.jpg\\\">pictures<\/a> of myself.  I put up <a href=\\\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/images\/30-09.jpg\\\">one particular picture<\/a> on emode.com (this was pre-tickle) because they had this social networking thing similar to friendster.  I used a pseudonym and the only identifying information I put was that I was from Berkeley, CA.  A few days later, I got requests from people who were interested by my profile.  To my surprise (or utter shock), I received a request from <a href=\\\"http:\/\/ask.answerer.org\/\\\">Allen<\/a>.  (hey allen, defend yourself.)  I think I wore that shirt much less after that until yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>But yesterday was one of those days.  One of those days that I felt like I really was going to miss Berkeley.  Or maybe just working at Rescomp.  Going to the movies is all about going with the right people.  And having the right audience.  I went to see <a href=\\\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0366551\/\\\">Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle<\/a> with some people from work.  Note that I was the only female and that I wouldn\\&#8217;t have ever gone seen it out my own will (read: I would have disliked it in any other setting).  Several years ago, I had shunned movies like this&#8230;but surprisingly&#8230;with the right audience who kept yelling appropriate obscenties during the movie&#8230;it was actually fun.  Ok, it was the most fun I ever had when I didn\\&#8217;t have to talk to anyone beyond silent passing of popcorn and emitting parades of giggles.  It was nice to finally see Asian Americans on the big screen, but that wasn\\&#8217;t just the good part either.  (it has the MILF guy also from BLT and some HAWT Indian dude whose voiced dripped with saliva!!)<\/p>\n<p>When we left the movie, someone suggested going to In \\&#8217;N Out as an attempted adventure to a pseudo-White Castle (the closest White Castle from here is in Chicago).  And so there we eating our number twos and numbers threes at midnight.  It\\&#8217;s almost a reminder of how I most likely won\\&#8217;t have many of these random excursions anymore.  As people get older, priorities change.  It\\&#8217;s all about planning for the future.  But ultimately, isn\\&#8217;t it all relative?  I think that was why I was so appalled a few months ago when I helped out the families at the swimming pool.  Everything is the same&#8230;and so mundane.  But perhaps, parents find spontaneity in their own time in their children.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\\\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/images\/cookies.jpg\\\"><br \/>\n(yes, there\\&#8217;s a penis-shaped cookie.  With some white frosting.  I feel special!)<\/p>\n<p>I finally received <a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.drollery.com\\\">Lele<\/a>\\&#8217;s cookies today!  My mom put them on the kitchen table and because I was in a rush (again), I just grabbed it on the way out, intending to open it up at work.  But of course, she just had to tape everything securely.  So I finally had a coworker just stab at it with scissors.  I suppose being known for the one for having weird\/strange encounters in life, people were reluctant to touch the cookies wrapped in paper so that it looked like something illegal, something poisonous, something like&#8230;anthrax.  But we all know that Lele wouldn\\&#8217;t do such a thing, would you?!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\\&#8221;Is there neon light in here?
