For the "Fritz" entry you must know who came before nikkipikkel, he was a rather accident prone individual and we haven't heard much from him lately. I believe he is still circumnavigating the globe in a hot airballoon, but no one knows for sure. For the "fucking bastards" entry the password is a number. The number of voices in my head. For the "Whore" entry the password is the official name of my first hamster. Now I called him a lot of things but the name I'm looking for is also the name of his father. . . (this should help weed out all of the ppl that don' pay attention- you guys are undeserving ) For the "I think he likes me" entry all you need to know is what my favorite drink is. All lower case if it matters. For those that know me this should be easy. And for those of you that actually saw this little module, props to you too for checking out the whole page. | Monday. 11.17.03 9:24 pm I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her.

My mom was up until 2 am finishing whatever it was Seannie couldn't finished because she was knocked out over her Social Studies book. (Sidenote: She actually has the book Kyle Naes used when we were in 7th grade - weird) The assignment was to create a crossword puzzle for this week's volcabulary list. She used almost all of my graph paper before mom finally decided to do it on the computer. little fucktard, I told her I create it on the computer for her but she didn't want my help or mom's for that matter. Of course it is hard to stop someone from doing anything when you're unconscious. I'm slightly disturbed that the books and the assignments at St. Simon's haven't changed in all the years since I attended that school. But that's the Catholic way isn't it? Routine - Order - Habit I suppose that life would be much safer that way- nothing unexpected or out of the ordinary. I'll admit I do find comfort in routine and in the fact that not much has changed in my absence. That's not true though. Ms. VanMeter and Ms. Ramasadren are the only teachers I had that are still teaching there. Ms. Johnson is still there too as the Vice Principle. She remembers me and Elaine, Brian and Robert. We were her 8th grade helpers. On Thursday afternoons we would clap erasers and wipe down the desks in the science lab. I'd forgotten about that, how could I have forgotten that? At Christmas she gave us each gift certificates to Wherehouse and at graduation she presented us with white picture frames with a graduation cap on it. I still have that. Where was I going with this? I was going to bitch about Sean and her problems with every other student in the 7th grade. She is being picked on and she doesn't have any friends. But a lot of that is her own doing. Last week was parent/teacher week. Mom had a conference with the school psychologist, Sean's teacher and Mrs. Johnson. They were all concerned about Seannie's attitude towards the other children and her lack of companions. Mrs. Johnson kept mentioning how I had had lots of friends and that I'm still friends with many of those people I met at St. Simon's. Mom told them that it wasn't about finding friends but building relationships. She said it was like wanting to buy a certain shoe. Seannie is picky about what shoes she likes to wear and she won't buy anything unless it is up to her standards. Joy on the other hand loves all kinds of shoes and will bring almost anything home with her even if it doesn't fit. . . . Thanks mom . . . There is some truth in that. I don't understand why we can't all be friends. Or at least kind to one another. You may think this is idealistic or naive but why can't it be realistic and practical? It takes much more effort to be hostile towards someone then helpful (unless it is yet another lost and confused international student- god I'm a hypocrite) Fuck it- no more preaching from the peanut gallery This song has been stuck in my head all week, Sure i think about you now and then But it's been a long, long time. I've got a good life now, i've moved on So when you cross my mind.... (i, so, and) try not to think about What might have been 'cause that was then And we've taken different roads We can't go back again, there's no use giving in And there's no way to know What might have been. We could sit and talk about this all night long, And wonder why we didn't last Yes, they might be the best days we will ever know But we'll have to leave them in the past. (Chorus) That same old look in your eyes It's a beautiful night I'm so tempted to stay But too much time has gone by We should just say goodbye And turn and walk away. (Chorus) No, we'll never know What might have been Comment! (2) | Recommend! Nebulous Existence Monday. 11.10.03 1:56 pm Recently an old friend of mine told me that I seem different. My personal opinions are different. When I asked if it was this was a good thing or bad thing she didn't reply. Part of me wants to dismiss the incident because of my history with this girl- who may not have known me as well as she thought. I don't think I knew her as well as I thought. But that's a whole bag of potatoes I don't want to get into again. Change is a conscious reaction to events around you. It doesn't just happen- does it? Maybe I'm annoyed that a voice from the past can come out of nowhere and tell me that I've changed. That I'm no longer that person I once was, a person she thinks she knew. It has been almost a year- of course I would seem different, whether or not I actually am. Time makes you forget the little things that constitute the whole. Can I really be defined by those with which I surround myself? Why be defined at all? Opinions do change- as more information comes in perceptions are altered. Why do I feel I have to defend myself? Because it felt more like an accusation than a mere observation. Well I'm sorry. DID YOU HEAR THAT? This is for everyone. I'M SORRY. I'm sorry that I was so avid in my beliefs when I was wrong. I'm sorry I hurt and/or confused you. That I spoke without thinking- only feeling. That I made you doubt me. I'm sorry I lost your trust. If it helps, I know I fucked up. So now what do I do? I've apologized. I apologized but I don't regret it. Elaine tried to explain regret to me, that was one thing I never fully understood. Would I take it back? Any of it? I would take back the pain and the confusion, but there was also knowledge- and how can I reject that. I've changed - guilty as charged, I've even been sentenced and punished. Anything else you want? My Soul perhaps? Comment! (1) | Recommend! farewell Saturday. 11.8.03 12:02 pm The red fish has died. Mommy was cleaning her bowl out but the water was too hot and the little girl suffocated. And no one told me for a week! Seriously, every morning I would feed the fish the red one would greet me with a flurry of delicate fins. Comment! (0) | Recommend! In the Navy Thursday. 11.6.03 12:09 pm This last weekend I went to Monterey with a friend to see an old classmate who is based there. He joined the Navy right after high school. He went through boot camp and now he is learning a foreign language to help him when he is shipped off to wherever it is INTERRUPTION: I'm at the computer lab at school right now typing this. I'm on a Mac. Everyone else here is on a PC and they are located on the other side of the room. Not only is it quieter on this side but I have lots of room to spread out. You can't easily spot me behind the computers. However some little asian girl (who is probably older than me) found me nonetheless. She even tapped me on the shoulder! (there is no need to touch especially since I had already inadvertently made eye contact and was trying to ignore/avoid her) At first I had no freaking clue what she was trying to say because of her accent and for some reason she felt that by talking louder I would somehow be able to decipher the broken English. I hate the fact that she probaby does better than me in school but can't figure out where the hell she is or how to work her laptop. I don't even have a laptop. Looking around I know why she came up to me. My straight black hair and almond shaped eyes told her that I or someone in my lineage had come from South Pacific or somewhere close to that. There are two nice white gentlemen at the information desk, not 20 feet away, that she could have questioned. But no, like a hunter she found me. I don't find a whole of comfort in being with other asians. At least not anymore than when I'm with nonasian friends. True my number of filipino friends is higher than any other nationality but not by much. I've always felt I had a diverse group of friends. Which is bullshit since we all come from the same socioeconomic and religious background. Fairly educated uppermiddle class chrisitians from Northern California. sigh, I have unfinished thoughts on this. One more thing, why do people ask if it is alright to ask you a question? That is a question in itself. And on a scale of 1- 10 how rude is it to say, "No you may not ask me another question now go away you pesty little bastard and leave me alone." Damn she put me in a bad mood. I don't even remember what I was thinking about. Now the Title of this entry makes no sense. FUCKTARDS! Now I have to sit through Bio lecture. A class, which by the way, is behind course because a shitload of little assholes who never read the text feel the need to have their questions answered as soon as it pops into their little heads instead of waiting to ask during the professor's office hours which was established for the every purpose of answering student's questions about lecture. Drowning in a sea of stupid Comment! (0) | Recommend! Going NoWhere Fast Monday. 11.3.03 12:50 pm The car's fine. I paid $500 to have the damn water pump replaced. Keeping busy with school and work and club shit. Im starting to think I heading in the wrong direction. Biology major? I'm not going to be a doctor that travels to remote countries to deliever babies and set broken bones. I don't want to do research to find the cure for AIDS and/or breast cancer. I'm going to be a damn ecologist/ environmentalist trying to keep the ozone layer from completely disintergrating, the polar caps from melting and the rain forrest from disappearing. However the cause of all this can be traced back to the damn human beings. Humans consuming the Earth and all its resources at record speed. We aren't anything more than animals. Greedy animals blinded by the desire to collect and horde material goods and to fuck our neighbor's wife in the process. I have no clue about what's going on in the Middle East or in Washington DC. Hell I dont even know what's happening with Arnold in Sacramento! (Maybe I just don't want to believe he was actually elected to office...) What if its too late though? What if by the time I'm actually done with schooling, when I finally have a degree, what if we've reached the point of no return? Maybe we're crossing the Rubicon at this moment and we don't even realize it. Or worse yet, we DO know it but we choose to ignore the fact that we fuck ourselves inthe ass. Throughout high school I tried to establish a fucking environmental club but even my friends didn't get involved- hell most of them didn't even care. Why should I care? Because of guilt? Because some higher being that may or may not exist might punish me even after death? Because I know I should try anyway? Maybe I just want to feel like Im better than everybody else . . . Comment!
