Except mine is a gerbil.

I cut my foot three hours ago and it’s still bleeding profusely. Might I be a hemophiliac? Luckily the first aid kit that Dan gave us had some gauze things so I was still able to go to class, but I look retarded. Don’t ask how I cut my foot cuz I won’t only look like a retard but you’ll call me one.

Tuesdays are bliss. It’s nice now that I don’t have four classes jammed until 5pm. I came back around 3:30 hoping to waste time by playing Sims, but it’s not working.

Dodgers are doing pretty good this season..Fat chance Giants!  Now I’m keeping a more careful eye on how they do since their stats have an reciprocating effect on my boyfriend’s mood, so as of now, we are very happy….though he is still guilt tripping me for making him pass up tickets with Gav (that were 4 rows above the dugout…)…so that we could go shopping….discalimer: I didn’t know!!!…whaps. That’s how much he s me.

And that’s LA baseball….

I’m all for women’s rights, but feminazis get on my nerves…..If you would like to pop open a can of worms, ask me why. I dropped my soc. class because the department is infested with them….Same reason why I dropped the women’s studies class at R… Not that I have anything against my own sex, I just can’t tolerate whiners/power trippers of either sexes. Just like how I can’t stand political protesters who disrupt the peace and cause traffic. Speaking of R, I really miss it.

Short and sweet for now. Goodnight!

Great….Mel, Jen, Adam and I all went to CPK for pasta (since dorms are closed for the break)…and Adam told me to wipe my nose because he thought my zit-like-cut was pasta sauce!!!!

After working at an office setting for so long, you realize that the most common form of on-site injury you can file against your employer is a paper cut. I think I’ve managed to get the most out of all my co-workers…the most brutal kind of cut is the chart cut- it’s like taking a butcher knife and slicing it to where you accidentally swipe. But of all the bad paper cuts, I have discovered the worse kind: The Unhealable Paper Cut on The Nose. It’s been hanging around for about 5 weeks now….I don’t think that’s normal for wounds this small…It’s really bugging because it’s starting to callous and turn into a small scab that looks like a zit! And because I have natural tendencies to touch scabs, I touch my nose a lot….and it looks like I’m picking my nose but I’m NOT! Sigh.

 

              

 

 

 

 

What does this mean?!

If Professors are reliable sources, I should be a millionaire by the time I’m 50, without lifting a finger. We’ll see how good this Professor Gardner is! I’ve gone to the dark side and invested too much money into the stock market.  I don’t think I even know what I’m doing!

The real MGMT 100 test….

 

 

 

Wow. I’m such a loser. I’ve gone premium so that I can post pictures and change font colors….I went for the gift package though, so it’s only a one time payment without any cancellation hassles. Happy Birthday, Me!

Okay xangalites, this is my attempt to lure Char into xangaworld. Can I do it? I’ll need your help! Please leave encouraging comments for her brilliant entry!

Char: Dude, we’re soooo lame. We have finals next week and look what we’re doing!!!!!! But anyways, so quick question: What are UCLA’s colors? Blue and YELLOW, right? Here’s my random issue for the week.

 

 

Here is a YELLOW UCLA sweatshirt right??? Hold on……

Here are a few orange skittles……. (the best flavor is purple!)

Here is an ORANGE! Another random question… Is an orange called an orange because it’s the color orange? Or is the color orange called orange because it’s the same color as an orange? (Diana and I have just agreed that “orange” is a really weird word now… oh yeah… by the way… I got a point playing a rhyme game with Harris because I said “orange” rhymes with “syringe.” Diana said it doesn’t, but check out Em’s song Business, “oranges, peach, pears, plums, SYRINGES!” Hahaha. I win! Diana said I have to move on….)

NOW… What color is the sweatshirt?????? Is it yellow??? I don’t think so! Unless the orange is YELLOW!!!! But it’s not the same color as the skittles…. I know there are different hues of orange, but dang… that one’s drastic! So now I have to say that my sweatshirt is orange and UCLA’s colors are blue and orange… or I can say, “Please pass the yellow orange” (Diana)… or whoever designed this sweater is colorblind like Louis. I’ll write about the Louis story another day… MAYBE! Hah!

That’s the end of my entry in Diana’s xanga. Thanks y’all for reading! Char

My sister finally came to visit me! That made my day.

UPDATE!!!

BEST PRESENT OF ALL:

!!!! Cecilia got into UCSD!!!!! I’m so proud of my little sister!!!!

Yay! Now I have good reason to travel down to UCSD and kidnap my sister to go to Mexico with me to eat tacos… 3 for $1 !!!

WHY….is it that when you’re watching a documentary in a polisci class, the male who speaks Chinese…ALWAYS gets translated in fobby English? Why couldn’t they have a normal English speaking translator!? Does it make what he says more real? Now that I look back on it, I think they do that for foreign films too.  

That first paragraph is my intriguing or maybe not so intriguing thought of the day…a requested tribute to my loyal critic Andrew Lee.  Whom suggested that my sole purpose in xangaworld should be to please the readership.  I probably lost all the readers I’ve ever had by posting my mundane rantings.  Some know it as being “textbook like.”  Hahahaha…oh well. Read if you please, move on if you don’t please.

Here are some insightful tips for gaining xanga popularity. (AND a super hot profile picture is NOT a requirement!…So there’s hope for most of us…) If you are lacking in e-props in xangaworld, I would like to share with you some helpful tips and suggestions I’ve learned about reeling in a few more. (If you are an e-prop monger in xangaworld, and haven’t figured out the tools of the trade, Merry Xanga):

1. Write about interesting thoughts/ideas.

2. Do NOT write about your boring day unless you have a funny Starbucks story to tell.

3. Update daily so that your subscribers will have something in their mailboxes everyday. (You will have a better shot at higher traffic, thus higher chances at eprops.)

4. Comment on other’s xanga. They will feel more obligated to comment back. Thus, your casual passer-byers will think you’re super popular by just being you…but in reality, you work just as hard by going the extra mile and taking initiative.

5. Do not ramble about some political issue. Xanga and Politics are like oranges and milk. It curdles and causes unnecessary diarrhea.

6. Golden Rule Number Six…Post Pictures. Here it is again: Post Pictures. MS Paint supposedly scores you bonus points. As cliche this may be, it is sadly true. “A picture is worth a thousand words”…in comments that is.

MS Paint Pictures….

Weird Pictures…..

Bra Ball pictures…

Random Pictures….

Scary Pictures….

Combo: Scary Boobie Pictures….

Thank you for the helpful tips, Xangamaster Andrew Lee! (7. Get good friends to link your xanga on theirs so that you get your friends’ readers to come to yours too.) Now go and leave some comments on his! (8. Get good friends to drop a command to their readers to comment on yours!)

Now you have all the tools to be officially ordained “Xangamaster ____________(fill in your name here.)” Have fun!

P.S. Matt got a Scrabble board for us, so that I can kick his butt in person instead of on Yahoo! Thanks babe.

China’s Larry King. Thanks Ravi.
