ordered bj's for dinner tonight. helen was totally hitting on the delivery guy. although, i must admit, he was pretty cute. had a really nice name too - kian. he lives right by us too! he's a freshman over at the pepper canyon apartments. he looked at me and was like, "you live on the other side, don't you? i've delivered food to you before." i feel kind of pathetic that the delivery guy recognizes me, but hey, he was cute, so who cares. he even told us his apartment number! ;D

after he left, helen was like, "ohmygod!!" and i said, "you were totally hitting on him" and she said, "yeah" and pushed her boobs together. helen's funny like that. we were like, "let's order something else!!"

hmm....*gets a mischevious gleam in her eye - her left one*

anyway, olympics on real soon. figure skating - pairs short program. rooting for the canadians - jamie sale & david pelletier. okay, bye!

i want to go to italy.

busy day today. went to class in the morning. we watched emperor's new groove in italian. it was dubbed in italian. the teacher wanted us to watch an italian film without subtitles and she figured disney movies would be easiest since most of us have seen them and if we haven't, the plot's pretty easy to figure out anyway. so...yeah. oh! but what was really funny was that she brought in her six or seven year old son. he was SOOO CUTE. i mean, you would think at that age, they just are not cute. they're just full of mischief and cooties and whatnot. but this kid was like, absolutely adorable. i think what really helped was that he was constantly talking in italian. just upped his cute quotient ten fold. i love little italian kids. they're so bold yet cutely so. he was sitting next to me too. while his mother was talking about the film at the beginning of class, he was just sitting there kind of fidgety, bouncing up and down on the seat and looking around everywhere. he turned to look at me, and i looked at him, and he gave me this HILARIOUS face. he like puckered his lips and did this fish face thing. oohhhh, my ovaries skipped a beat.

anyway, i actually sort of dozed off during the film because, well, i really did not get it. i mean, c'mon, no subtitles?!? what's up with that?? after italian, i went to my second experiment. it was the one that sanaz told me her friend did. the guy placed this huge stack of blank white papers in front of me and told me to count out 400 of them and place them in stacks of ten. after i did it the first time, he asked me to estimate how long it took me and i said seven minutes. then he said, "if i told you to do that again, how long do you think it would take you?" and i said about the same time. so i did it again and after i was finished he took out his stopwatch and said, "you were close. it took you fourteen minutes." heehee...i'm not a good counter. well...not an efficient one anyway. oh well. the second part of the experiment was really weird. he pulled out a folder and a scented candle. he said that he had a picture in the folder that he wanted me to look at for a certain amount of time. after i was done staring at the picture, he wanted me to sniff the scented candle for a certain amount of time. so i looked at the picture, which was a picture of a puppy. it's stupid, but i remember thinking, "aww, how cute, it's a puppy!" then i sniffed the candle which had this like spicy, vanilla-y scent. then he had me rate how pleasant the experience was on a scale of one to twelve. i gave it an eleven. :) and...that was it. weeeeeird stuff, man.

afterwards, i went to the programs abroad office to get information on oap in italy. since i'm overqualified for the eap summer program in italy and i don't want to go during the school year, i decided to look into oap stuff because i still really REALLY want to go. if there was still any way i could go this summer, i would. so i just looked up some stuff and got tons of info and left. then i stopped by the post office to pick up a box and then by the atm to get more cash (oy). then i went home and picked up my mail. got another certificate for the provost's honors list. you make the provost's honors lists if your gpa for the quarter is 3.50 or above. i don't know...i don't really feel like i deserve them because i'm not taking very difficult classes; the difficult classes that i take were all pass/no pass (well, except for math). so, relatively speaking, it's not that great an achievement. compared to everyone else, my classes are a breeze. no hum, no science, no math. just languages and...random stuff. well..i guess you could call stat math but it's not very difficult math.

anyway, i got home and made a copy of the nsync tape and wrote a short letter explaining it. then i made lunch and ate. by this time it was like 2 pm and i still hadn't eaten anything so i was quite starving. then i went to the post office to mail off THE TAPE. heeheeheeeeee.... it was funny because i addressed it out to "trl home videos" and the guy at the post office was like, "america's funniest home videos, huh?" i didn't feel like correcting him so i just said yes and paid and left. then it was off to buy tickets for the vagina monologues. unfortunately, they're sold out of the thursday (valentine's day) show so the only day left is next wednesday. so...sanaz, if you're reading this, would you still want to go on wednesday? so then i went to geisel to go watch an italian film for, well, italian class. oy...there weren't any subtitles on this one as well. so, yes, i started dozing off during the film. i kinda sorta got the plot. well okay fine, i have absolutely no idea what was going on in the movie. see? this is why i need to go to italy.

and...now i'm here. definitely a busier day than i've had lately. i'm dreading this weekend. well...i'm already in the weekend so i'm basically trying to just bite the bullet now. it's not like i have a lot of homework, because i don't. i just have some italian homework to do. it's just that, while i have the room to myself, i am unfortunately stuck with...well, you know whos. and while one you know who i can handle, TWO you know whos together is just too much for me to take. yeah, okay, i know it sounds really immature to say "you know who" instead of using names, but i think it's even more immature to *actually* use names because that's just plain stupid. anyway, with my roommate (sanaz) and therapist (melissa) home for the weekend, i sense a horrific outburst of rage creeping up. spiteful resentful bitchy cherry will not be quiet for very much longer.

sigh.

anyway, opening ceremonies for winter olympics in half an hour! just need to change into my pajamas and calm down.

people who copy other people's away messages and use them as their own are just plain stupid retarded lame losers.

okay...so here's my idea that i was raving about that seemed brilliant hilarious hysterical brilliant before but now just seems stupid (funny stupid not stupid stupid). but i still think it's funny so i'm going to do it. so anyway, i was watching trl earlier today and they showed this commercial that basically said to send in all home videos of yourself singing and dancing to your favorite trl artists. and since we had just watched melissa's birthday video last night, that, of course, made me automatically think of the nsync performers (gil, ben, chris, dustin, and matt) and BAM!!! i thought "ohmygod, why don't i send in melissa's birthday tape?!?!?!?" gah!!! i got super excited and imed melissa and told her everything. then i went to mtv.com to look for the address (since they flashed it really quickly during the commercial). okay, so i like BRIEFLY flirted with the idea of just sending in the tape without telling any of the guys because i mean, c'mon, how funny do you think it would be if just one day i was like, "hey you guys, turn on the tv and watch trl like RIGHT NOW!!!" but...well, the rational, nicer (yeah yeah, shut up) side of me won out and i asked permission from all of the guys. i really didn't know what to expect from them, but i was certainly surprised when they all said yes. surprised and SUPREMELY EXCITED. ohmygod, do you know how crazy i would go if that tape ended up on trl?!? okay, so only problem (that ben brought up) is that there are gonna be like a bazillion nsync tapes, but, well, i figure there's really no harm in trying. i will TRY not to get my hopes up (not really working so far), but hey, how many other guys out there would STRIP while performing an nsync song? well, okay, don't answer that. and okay, so they only took off their shirts (literally ripped it off in dustin's case and slooooooowly peeling it off in ben's case) but still. let's hope the judges are women. or gay men. hahahaha...sorry. aaaahhahahahahahaaahhahaa...

all right, i really need to finish my italian homework now so i can make a copy of the tape and send it in tomorrow. *big huge cheshire grin* ;D

oh. my. GOD. i've got a BRILLIANT, HILARIOUS, HYSTERICAL, BRILLIANT idea!!!! but i need to look into it first before i blog any more about it.

ahahaahaahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!! <-- maniacal laughter.

okay okay...here's the thing. i know (and i'm sure most of YOU all know) that i've been having problems with certain people around here lately. but you know what i've been thinking? as bad as things are around here, i've decided that i'm not going to dwell and wallow in this negativity. well, i'm going to TRY not to anyway. just because dwelling and wallowing doesn't help anything and it just makes me so much more spiteful and resentful and the spiteful, resentful, bitchy cherry just is no fun. so...i will TRY from now on to just let the bad things roll off my shoulders.

sigh.

me and melissa have been reminiscing about the suite life last year. there are so many things that we miss about it. last night, we watched both her's and helen's birthday videos. ohmygoodness, those were SUCH FUN. those were the days... =| i miss those days. and i miss the people and the personalities of certain people last year (if that makes any sense, which i don't think it does). and i miss the random fun we used to have. and i miss chris and helen's random wrestling matches. and i miss chris and sanaz's random marker wars (of which i should not have butt into). and i miss all our nice furniture (the furniture in the apartments are GHETTO). and i miss the time all ten of us tried to play the same song at the exact same time. and i miss our road trip up north. and i miss the reason for our road trip up north. and i miss the way we used to be.

uuuuuuuugggghhhh...no more dwelling and wallowing, right? but this is more like reminiscing, so it's okay.

weird conversation #413,567,892:

janedoe*: why are you ignoring me
lilith chick: sorry

janedoe: ok i'm going to study now
janedoe: plus i'm goin to need all the beauty sleep i can get
janedoe: so my mole looks prettier

*names changed to protect the self-conscious. i do not actually know anyone with the sn janedoe. and you know what? it wasn't ACTUALLY janedoe iming with me either. it was janedoe2 masquerading as the original janedoe. .... you know, this would be so much easier if i could use real names. but the original janedoe insists on having her identity protected. you know, what with the monster mole and all. ;D just kidding. i love you, original janedoe. oh, and you too, janedoe2.

blah...just another day. my blogs are getting less and less interesting. maybe cuz i'm getting a little less motivated to blog everyday. anyway, let's see...what'd i do today? well, i got up and checked my email. got this email from a guy named mike who told me that i was on this san diego bloggers webpage. he's also on it and he was wondering how he ended up on it so he emailed me. and...i have absolutely no idea how either of us ended up on the page. i didn't even know there was a page like that, much less that i was even on it, till he emailed me. so that was...interesting.

la la la...then i took a shower, got ready for class, went to class, yada yada yada... after class, i went to my first experiment. it was called "chimeric faces." basically, they flashed pictures of misaligned faces (the top half and the bottom half would always be from different faces) in pairs on this computer screen. i was supposed to say if the top half of the faces looked like each other. they flashed the pictures really fast for like five minutes straight. and i did it twice. so i basically sat in front of a computer for ten minutes pressing "yes" or "no." it was actually kind of interesting. i caught myself messing up a few times though. like, i meant to press "yes" but i pressed "no" instead and vice versa. but...oh well. it only took twenty minutes (i had to answer a few questions about my right-handedness first) and i got an hour's worth of credit for it, so it's cool. i just need to go to two more experiments to get my three hours worth.

and...that was basically my day. i went back to the apartment and like, took a nap. it was a weird nap. i fell asleep while watching mtv and like, i started dreaming that i was watching tv in bed. it was so bizarre. parts of the tv shows that were actually on showed up in my dream but morphed somehow...so when i woke up, still watching tv in bed, i felt all twilight zone-ish. weeeeeird....

anyway....i'm going to go try to do my vietnamese homework. don't really want to...blah. i'm having a bad hair day. oh well. bye.

today - not a good day. definitely woke up on the wrong side of the bed. i woke up with a bloody nose for no reason whatsoever. luckily, no blood on pillows, sheets, or comforter. managed to run to bathroom and stop the nosebleed (with a technique i learned from gi joes - the cartoon!!). this was about twenty minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off, so i just trudged back to bed and lay there. juuuust as i was getting all comfortable, my alarm goes off. so i got up, got dressed, went to class, blah blah blah. anyway, came back and crammed a bit for my vietnamese vocab quiz which, btw, was not all that fun. it was easy to give the vietnamese equivalent to the english words, but i just had major problems translating and forming sentences. the teacher keeps saying that our grades are based on how much we improve and, well, i'm not improving, so....yeah. anyway, while i was in the apartment, i took off my boots and put on my flip flops because it was getting warmer. so when it's about time, i leave for vietnamese and i'm walking and walking and walking and then my right foot steps on this branch on the ground which promptly pops up and scrapes my left foot hard enough that my foot is now bleeding. at first, i just said "ow" very loudly and kept walking but when i could feel the blood pooling enough to soil the cuff leg of my jeans, i turned back. went back into the apartment, bandaged my foot, and left AGAIN. grrr..i was not happy by then. luckily i wasn't late to class. but because i was later than usual, i was forced to sit next to the fobs. ugh. someone shoot them for me please.

anyway, my vietnamese teacher let us out like five minutes early which was enough to make me somewhat less pissy. walked back to the apartment and....blah blah blah. well, here's something interesting: i've joined the feminist majority leadership alliance; i went to my first meeting tonight. it's affiliated with the feminist majority foundation. it was REALLY interesting. i learned so much!! i felt sort of intimidated though, not just because i'm new, but also because they all seemed to know so much about...stuff. like, different stuff. i'm so unintelligent i can't even describe what they were talking about. anyway, it was really cool - learned lots of interesting things today. many new wrinkles in brain for cherry. oh, and you know what else was weird? i saw a girl from high school there. her name is liz...dunno if anyone remembers her. i don't know remember her last name, but she was in my english class senior year. i don't think she knew who i was or remembered me till i introduced myself though. but that's cool...i was one of those people in high school who knew most people but no one ever knew who i was. oh well.

anyway...day started off crappy. continued to be crappy for a while. but now it's...so-so. must go do homework now. bye.

okay, first off, UCSD INTERNET SUCKS BIG HAIRY MONKEY BALLS. ugh. this is probably going to take an hour to post, but whatever. i need to blog about this.

second - guess what guess what?!?! grace just imed me and told me something REEEAAAALLY cool. remember dimple boy from the comedy sportz club? HE'S IN GRACE'S HUM LECTURE!!!!!! good god, what were the chances. the good news: i can make the lecture. the bad news: i'm scheduled to be a subject in three different experiments this wednesday, friday, and next monday during the time of grace's lecture (all lower div psych students are required to be subjects in experiments). so that means the soonest i can go would be next wednesday. but grace reassured me: i have all quarter. ooh, i'm so excited, i've never stalked anyone before! not that i'm planning on stalking him. it's just...you know...i want to see him. hm. la la la...back to italian. ;D

wow...it's amazing how being near some people just makes me flinch and tense up and want to scream at them. just their proximity provokes me.

people who abuse the generosity of others are NOT cool.

chenni jen: haha
chenni jen: i just read your blog
chenni jen: i actually did believe you

hahahahaahahaha.... ;D the fun never ends!!

yay! i had a good night tonight. wow...i'm looking at my last blog...i sound so bitter these days on my blog. but i had a good evening. went out on a date with melissa... ;) we walked to the movie theater (it was FREEZING) and watched a walk to remember. it was actually really cute. a bit predictable, but i still liked it. mandy moore really wasn't that bad of an actress. i mean, she wasn't brilliant or anything, but i expected her to be worse. oh, and shane west is hot. ohmygod, shane west...helloooooo...MM-MMM GOOD. he has that whole smoldering look going for him. god, he's so hot. like right now...i'm having trouble remembering parts of the movie because all i can think of is shane west. i think i love him. ;D

anyway, afterward, me and mel were walking out of the theater and there's this book store across from the theater and we were kind of far away when i looked inside and saw this asian girl wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and black warm up pants and i was like, "is that christina?" and i got a little bit closer and it looked a lot like her so i started running at full speed toward her and i hit her shoulder. later on, i thought to myself, it's a really good thing that WAS christina because if it wasn't, i would've been supremely embarrassed. but yeah...i had tried to scare her. but it didn't work. i asked her, "did i scare you?!" and she said, "no, but you hurt my shoulder." heehee...i don't know why i thought that was funny, but i did. anyway, she was with diana from aacf and they were waiting to see "i am sam" but the movie was like starting in an hour. so we told them we were about to go to moo time to get some ice cream and they decided to come with us. moo time is a really cute place. think cold stone in a 40's/50's restaurant. i had chocolate with cookie dough. it was pretty good. dripped ice cream like, everywhere though. i had this huge wad of napkins on my table afterwards. so anyway, christina and diana left to go see their movie and me and mel left to go walk back home. oh, don't worry, i had my pepper spray in my hand the entire time. ;D then i went back to mel's place to chill with her, grace, allyn, and helen for a while.

all in all, it was a really good night. :) thanks melissa!! the more i think about the movie, the more i like it. the more i think about shane west, the more i want him. ;D so...good movie, hot guy, good ice cream, and good company. :) ahhh...what more i could ask for? oh, i know, shane west. ;D okay, i'm going to go change into my pajamas now, bye!!

ps...shane west, i want you.
