oooyyy...i feel kinda out of it. i don't know why, i woke up at like 1230 today. geez. well, okay, what'd i do today? um...oh, i watched return to me, finished my little chick flick fest. then watched some figure skating. then took a really super fast shower. and was just getting dressed when ann-chi and nibi came over for dinner. yes, my surprise guest was none other than chi. we ordered in from bj's and just watched some random tv. it was very nice seeing chi again. :)

oh, while they were over, my parents called. my mom asked me if i received her email and i said i did. she asked me if i understood any of it and well, here's how the conversation (sort of) went [making corrections for broken english, of course]:

me: um...i understood a little bit of it, not all of it.
mom: [kind of laughs] you didn't understand any of it?
me: no, no, i understood *some* of it, not all of it. [pause] you bought me a chair, right? did you buy me a chair?
mom: what? a chair?! no, we didn't buy you a chair.
me: you didn't buy me a chair?
mom: no.
me: oh. then...did you buy me anything?
mom: no, we didn't buy you anything.
me: then...what...what the heck did you say?? [well, okay, i don't think i said that exactly, but something to that effect]

and well, she told me what she had written. and actually, i COMPLETELY mistranslated it. she did not buy me a chair nor did she buy me a flower pot, although the message did involve a flower pot. so what did she write? well, it's actually a bit personal, so i'm not going to blog about it, but let's just say i don't think i should attempt to speak vietnamese with my parents until like, the end of the year. because that was just a HUGE miscommunication there.

anyway, chi and nibi left around 9, i think. so i called deb while i was doing the dishes and just talked with her for a while. it was nice catching up on some stuff. yay, i feel more in touch with jo and deb now. although, it was pretty funny talking to deb on the phone, because one of us would mention something and most of the time, the other would be like, "oh yeah, i read that on your blog" and so after a while, i was like, "are we going to have anything to talk about with each other on the phone anymore?" that was just kind of a joke though cuz yeah, there was a lot to talk about that we didn't blog about. i just think it's really cool how useful blogs are for keeping in touch with friends. because even if you don't have time to talk with them on aim or on the phone, you can always stop by their blogs and catch up on their life, see what they've been up to lately, you know? yeah. i love blogs.

anyway, after i hung up with deb, i scanned in aborn's letter and pictures. tell me if you want the link, k? i sent it to whoever was online right now, but yeah, i'll need to send it to others when they get online. actually, if you still have the link from last time, it's the same page, but updated. i don't think many people bookmarked it, so i'll just resend the link.

oh god...oh godly god...the weekend's almost over. and i still haven't done any homework yet. oh shit. errrr....welll..okay, i guess that's what tomorrow is for. oh god. help. crap. gah. GAH!!!
