you know, i think i'm going on like a total popsicle binge. i just finished my fourth popsicle tonight. and i can't say for certain that that was going to be my last one.

felt like cinderella tonight. was helping sanaz get ready for the lambda party tonight by pinning up her jeans. so there i was squatting on the floor in my ratty old pajamas pinning up her snazzy new jeans while she was standing there looking sexy and answering five bazillion cell phone calls. but i didn't mind helping. means i'll get the prince and she'll get her eyes poked out by a bird or cut off her own toes and ankles to try to get into my shoes. ;D

went shopping at fashion valley today. bought a couple of pretty dresses, a couple of nice sweaters, and a comfy pair of jeans. yum. i really need to start studying though. =/ blaaaaaaah...

you know that justin timberlake song (like i love you). yeah...that song is starting to grow on me and sanaz. did you know that "i just love your brain" is hip hop slang for oral sex? i think that's so funny.

got to use my free comedy club tickets last night! went out on a date with sanaz. i was the boy because i was wearing pants and sanaz was wearing a skirt. well. we could've been lesbians too. it was a good show. sort of a small audience, but still a funny show. "taste the rainbow...of freedom!!" ;D

ahh...i'm bored. i really should start studying. my room is starting to look prettier. i love it. it's like walking into a fairy tale. sort of. :) i want to get rid of my closet doors though and put up some like, cool tapestries. a rip off of helen's idea, sort of, but hey, imitation is a form of flattery. ooh, got pictures back. there's this one picture of the girls outside pasta pomodoro and debra is giving this incredibly sexy come-hither look. unfortunately, ha's arm is like, blocking half of deb's face. yeah, it was an unexpected picture. i also have some really cute pictures of justin. must scan. must fix scanner first though.

okay. i'm going to stop blogging and do something else unproductive now. bye!

this orange soda tastes funny. as an orange soda connoisseur, i should know. orange soda is like my wine. safeway brand orange soda is NOT good.

anyway. so there was this opinion article in the ucsd guardian last week that i thought was so hilarious. it was actually two articles - the pros of ucsd and the cons of ucsd. needless to say, the pros article was the funnier one. allow me to quote:

Since any discussion of the UC campuses inevitably involves UC Berkeley, the alleged "flagship" of the University of California, Berkeley will be addressed first.

The UC Berkeley campus resides within the town of Berkeley, which is what San Francisco would be if it were geographically smaller and further from the ocean, had more crime and a greater homeless-to-homeowner ratio, overcrowded housing next to dirty parks, regular riots, and drug addicts roaming the streets. Berkeley is like a tiny San Francisco on crack.

Plus, the phrase "Berkeley sucks" nets 43 results in a Google search, while "UCSD sucks" returns only two. There's even a Berkeleysucks.com. As everyone knows, the Internet never lies. That should put to rest any claim that UCSD is inferior to UCB. Incidentally, we should all refrain from using UC Berkeley's arrogant abbreviation "Cal," which is short for California, not Berkeley -- it only adds to its insufferable superiority complex.

Besides having Google's blessing and a more accurate abbreviation, UCSD also possesses many other redeeming qualities that make it the best public California university.

Our mascot can kill everyone else's mascot.

The UCSD Triton is, simply put, a god. He's an invincible being. He cannot be killed by mere mortals, and certainly not by the likes of the University of California at Santa Cruz's banana slug, the University of California at Irvine's anteater or the twin grizzly bears shared by UCLA and UCB. Don't even mention the University of California at Davis's "Aggie," which is either a mustang or some sort of farmer; no one's really sure. In either case, it can't stand up to the Triton.

The only mascot that poses the slightest threat to our Triton is the other immortal: UC Riverside's Highlander. The Highlander, as seen on television, lives forever unless it is killed by another Highlander in a choreographed swordfight. However, as a god, the Triton may still be able to smite the Highlander, since the Triton possesses a magical pitchfork (the phonetically confounding "trident") useful in close combat. The battle would be close, but it would've been a lot closer if I didn't do further research on Riverside's mascot and discover that their insidious "Highlander" is, in fact, just another bear. Naming their bear "Highlander" was a clever ploy to challenge the Triton's supremacy, but not clever enough.

i think i just found this really funny because practically everyone i know goes to berkeley. ;D

aww...i feel so loved! everyone's missed my internet presence. [well, maybe not everyone. but, okay, people that matter. ;)] i love you aaaaall!!

so, i was in my eating disorders class this morning and this other professor comes in to talk to us about his research project. it had nothing to do with eating disorders but he needed subjects for his project so he came in to give us surveys and tell us about his project. basically, he's studying how marijuana smoking and alcohol drinking (though, primarily marijuana smoking) affects the brain. so he gave us all these surveys that ask us how often we smoke weed or drink alcohol. filling out my survey was pretty easy. it was just "never," "none," "0," "no." but, okay, here's the kicker: he's actually going to PAY subjects to come in and smoke marijuana. i kid you not. he pulled out a crisp $100 bill and said, "it's all about the benjamins!" which was pretty funny because he was pretty old. but he said it's all legal and that yeah, basically, you'd come in, smoke some pot while they stuck electrodes to your head and measured your brain waves then you'd get paid - in cash - and that's it! and as he finished his speech and ran out of the classroom, he told us all, "don't do drugs!"

hey, guess what people? i'm done for the week! my weekend starts...now! no classes on fridays. ;D la la la... nothing else to blog about. bye!

oh yes, i forgot to mention this, but i also think it's funny how people thought i had been completely wiped off the face of the planet when i hadn't been online and blogging for over a week. in a strange, twisted way, it makes me feel loved. strange and twisted though because concern was only sparked by my online absence and not some other normal way like, i dunno...some other normal way.

okay. have read everyone's blogs and profiles. and have deleted over 300 emails (spam sucks). oh man...how i missed internet. thing is, i was doing really really well during all of last week when we had no internet and like, only two channels on tv (abc and cbs). i have no idea how i amused myself during the day, but i managed to not think about internet. until yesterday. i totally lost it and unleashed all the withdrawal symptoms that i had kept pent up for the past week. it was not pretty. because the cable guy came and installed our cable in the morning so we HAD internet - i just couldn't set up the stupid STUPID software. so it was like having heroin, but no needle. you know? it was THERE, i just couldn't get to it. it drove me completely berserk.

but ahhh...i have internet now. i have cable. the nervous twitching has stopped. my room is beautiful and clean. i think my life is starting to fall back into place again. lovely. :)

okay, admittedly, there were some rent and utilities issues that me and my housemates (marvelous melissa, sexy sanaz, and heavenly helen) had to deal with. but we worked through all that heavy and serious crap and celebrated afterwards by plopping down in our narrow hallway and drinking. okay, so we only drank wine coolers, but still. it was fun. ;D melissa's first drink! oh, speaking of which, i need to get my hands on that picture of me taking my first shot last year. according to sanaz, my facial expression was not a very happy one.

let's see...so what's been happening with me. nothing interesting. =/ classes are okay. my eating disorders class is, by far, the easiest one. i'm enjoying all of them so far except for cognitive psychology. i don't really find my mind particularly exciting. developmental psychology is cool. i like the prof. very friendly. psychology and the law...very very interesting class. prof challenges us with all these issues (should marijuana be legalized? should we have separate punishments for hate crimes? do hate crimes even exist? etc). i think this is the first class i've been in where people are actually yelling at each other. i like. though, it does make me feel quite intimidated. that's okay. haven't actually done any reading for any of these classes yet though. hmm. oh well. i just got back online today! give me a couple days to ease back into the online world.

la la la...now what. ooh, people are iming me! both of the christinas, in fact. okay, going to go now. i love my bedroom. you must all come down to san diego to see it. and this bedroom invitation is meant only in the most innocent sense.

I. AM. BACK.

i feel totally out of touch with the outside world. okay, so my outside world is the online world. which means i must now go and read everyone's profiles and blogs to catch up. don't really have anything to blog about myself. except that i'm loving my new house and my big room and my lovely, lovely housemates. and...school's been okay blah blah blah.

okay, i'm gonna go read profiles and blogs now. bye.
