As you all may (or may not) know, my mother likes to take over my laptop for extra-lengthy periods of time. During which I am left to my own devices such as breaking open the age old twenty-something inch TV (as wide as the screen is big) and swiveling the antennas to get through the pixel-ated fog and snow. Or re-re-re-re-re-re...reading the same old books again and again. And lamenting the ones I know are in storage and haven't been read in years.

Anyhoo, I bought two 4G USB storage devices back during Black Friday after Thanksgiving. The night before last, I downloaded Portable Apps on it thinking I could at least get some work done on the HP PC out in the living room. Now I am using Firefox instead of IE especially in light of the news of security breaches that only occur in IE.

And now I must ask. That TextMark widget to your left? I can't see it in Firefox. Help anybody? And cool thing about the Tang IM-ing, if only I could use it with someone...

I watched Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility (1995), Little Women (1949?), and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon last night. Am currently looking for Brokeback Mountain, which I have never watched, but cannot seem to find it online. Help is welcomed. I will continue to look in the meantime. Hmm...

My puppy is oh so cute and oh, so neglected.
I'm offering to anyone who will listen.
But Ma says no.
She doesn't take care of him, I do.
Bah humbug.

I want voice lessons. And I want to continue dancing, if not only to keep my figure (how pompous). If not dance, then I need a substitute. But I can't leave dance just yet as I'm starting to rise in the dance ladder, so to speak. I also want to go to Liberal Arts instead of a reg. four-year. I see college as a time to 'find yourself' rather than truly for studies. I care more about law school. Wondering if I can go straight to law school with only an associates instead of a four year bachelor's... I want a camera, good Nikon/film or digital, so I can practice photography. I've always been interested but like many things I was interested in, I pushed it down in the little treasure box next to my spleen. Never fulfilled, never saw the light of day.

Can't think of anything else at the moment...

I was reading an article in Yahoo! when I came across a comment: "I especially love it in oriental foods."

Just say Asian for goodness sakes! What does it mean to be oriental? Usually it's associated with Indian/Hindu/Chinese style rugs, vases, etc. And people. I'm TIRED of it. It means Asian so just say Asian.

What about this Mandarin nonsense? Fashion: Mandarin collars. For goodness sake, Mandarin is the name of a dialect. At least they don't (or can't) say Oriental collar. Who knows what that would mean?

Want to hear something funny? A NYC Councilman once asked his Chinese colleague (only Asian of all 51 representing the city) to translate something into Asian. When asked which language he'd prefer, he said "Just Asian." I don't think I need to comment on that.

Re: title -- I'm just saying 'oriental' is not a word.

By the way, check out the mod on the left. Feelyourboobies.com, a site spreading the awareness of Breast Cancer to the younger generation. A very good effort as most young women under 40 don't get mammograms and aren't aware that they are also at risk. As young as fifteen years old. Spread the news.

Hey, guys. I have a job, been working there for over a month now. I'm on contract for seven months. Uhhhhm, what else...I have a dog. But you all knew that. Oh, and I might not be able to keep him anymore bc my building might have decided to go pet-less. Making room for new tenants paying higher rent for 'luxury' apartments--which aren't all that luxurious, believe me--by telling people they can't keep their pets. I really doubt people are going to be kicking their beloved animals out for the apartment. Except me. I kind have no choice. I ain't rich, people, and this is an awesome rich-people neighborhood with all kinds of easy access to EVERYTHING. Stores EVERYWHERE, everything is just steps away. I went back to barre class this Saturday (barre = that bar thingy you hold when doing basic ballet) for the first time in two years hooray and now I'm horrible old-lady-sore. My hip bones/hips/leg muscles especially. No surprise there!

BTW: please disregard the prev. entry. >.> I already knew it was fading, but it's always good to have some documentation for your life. Like a journal or diary, not that I've ever actually kept one up. That one was called teenage angst. These are only useless seconds of my days. That one probably took up all of 300 seconds. Thank god I don't get them often. Pretty rare. Whew. I would never forgive myself it if I turned into one of the few [insert noun] I hate...And I don't hate a lot.

Okay, since you people have no intention of reading past entries, here's a summary:

I. Check out FeelYourBoobies.com. NOT what you're thinking. It's a site dedicated to spreading the awareness of breast cancer, especially to the younger generation. Young women below 45 don't think they're susceptible to it, but we are. Mammograms are routine for health checks for women 55 and older. Breast cancers have been diagnosed in those as young as sixteen years old. Be aware and spread the news ppl.

II. 'Oriental' is not a word. Stop using it. By the way, I AM NOT ORIENTAL, guddurnit.

III. Check out SavetheInternet.com Do you believe?

IV. Oh, and I bartended for the first time. $31 in tips for two hours. Good or bad?

Oh! AND: if I can't say THE N WORD, ya'll can't say CHING CHONG/CHINKY/CHINK/CHINGLISH/GOOK/etc.

Oof, this has been long. I swear I didn't mean for it to be. _{i am sorry.}

My bad. It's not on purpose or anything. I'm just working all day and by the time I get my food back to the office, I start doing stuff and then I get around to maybe one bite. One hour later, another bite. Twenty minutes, two bites. Half hour later, one bite. Three hours later, stomach gurgles, but not in the mood to eat anymore. >.>

It's actually quite common among my co-wrkers and I. Rather, this one co-worker and I do the same thing. I need to eat. I just got home and I'm starving! >.<

Mom's in the kitchen cooking now...

Anyhoo, My stalker has been scaring me. For one thing, he's on a watch-out for me on AIM. Obvious bc he'll im me ONE SEC after I sign on. And last week he told me he went to the area where I work everyday to try to spot me after work. He really wants to see me, call me, etc. SCARY. I've been ignoring his IMs and going invisible immediately after signing in. I DID answer one im last week but that's how I found out abt the whole hanging around where I work thing. But of course he doesn't know the ACTUAL place where I work. *sigh of relief* This guy...when I first met him, I gave him a nickname to call me bc "who the heck are you and why are you talking to me?". He went on to find out my full name, my school, my Facebook, finds out his cousin knows me and dug around until he found out we used tolive in the same area and get babysat by the same woman(through the cousin, of course). >.> FREAK.

or maybe it was the day before, I broke a bowl. My foot just happened to be right underneath it and so a shard cut my foot. Of all the surface area between ankle and toes, the shard has to slice open one of those few veins. WIthin 20 seconds, blood starts to...not drip, more like leak out. So awesome.

I had to hop around on one foot trying to keep the dog out of the kitchen, put him in his cage, hop to the bathroom, hop back to clean up the shards and food, let the dog back out.

Yesterday, my mother and I went shopping. A real true first because I had always hated shopping. My mother had ruined it for me. For heck's sake, I didn't like looking in mirrors, either.

Well, I had bought this wallet from Macy's that I really liked, but it was still expensive (even with 30% off). Originally, it was under the 50% off sign, but check out said otherwise so...yeah. Off to Daffy's, saw a similar one, bought that one for less than hallf the price of the Macy's one. Right at checkout, I see the EXACT SAME DESIGN wallet as the Macy's one but in a different color. So, the plan is to go to another branch of Daffy's t see if they have the same wallet I bought at Macy's for half the price.

*yawn* Then I'll buy that one and return the other two. I REALLY need a wallet. What with my purse not being a good place to be digging for money/metrocard, etc. And what with my buisness cads cming in this week, I need a place to put 'em.

OH! Strange happening. I was digging for my metrocard in the Subway and this guy goes and swipes for me. I look at hime like 'what the heck?' and say, "No, you can go in." He says "I don't need it." More confusion, 'what the frick?' I stand there continuing to dig for my card for thirty secs so he goes and tells this other guy that he could go in bc he already swiped. Whatever. Strange guy... Sure, I could have just taken his nice offering. But I was a bit confused and a bit on edge bc I was angry at something/someone.

*shrug* Eh.

Look, my modules are back! Changed to a NuTang template so it'll be easier to navigate. Sorry, invis-y! I did use yours a for a long time. =)

May just be temporary. Will look over those modules when I have time. Which may be never. Or today. Or tomorrow. Who knows?

"Quick update to my closest, most treasured & irreplaceable ppl:

- I'm still in NY!
- to those in the city: we MUST meet up before I'm gone, got it?!
- I should be gone by October...ish.
- I am running low on cha-ching...any donations?! LAWL No, seriously. Nah, just joking! I need money. My bank account balance is a negative number with decimals. I'm never been so sad in my entire 22 years of existence... /exaggerated sobs used by drama queens everywhere/

Why does this post sound nothing like me?

To my fellow New Yorkers, call me! Or text. Or email. Or G+! Uh, the last two can apply to none NYers too...as well as other methods of communication. Oh, shoot! I haven't checked a certain place, have I? So sorry!!!

What the hell am I high on?"
--Today's post on my G+

I really meant that last question.^
