best.vacation.ever

2006-01-07T12:31:00.000-08:00

yes. this is the best vacation ever taken.

although it rained more than half the time i was there.

and although i didn't actually get to attend the UT vs. USC game. and especially although james was rooting for the ill-fated USC team and hates to buy face lotion.

we had some fun times partying in san fran.

new years eve in san fran was memorable, even though we got separated from everyone by midnight, i still had a grand time. how could i not. i was with my boo.

again with the rain. it threatened to ruin our trip down the coast to LA, but goodness prevailed and were able to hit the pch and stop at some beaches.

and that's all folks. what a great time.

happy new year!

yes another belated post. but hey. i've been on vacation! this is going to be the best.year.ever.

2005-12-27T07:19:00.000-08:00

it was a rather uneventful holiday. but i managed to squeeze in some things that are worth mentioning.

i got to see daniel and his girl synthia. she has some really interesting ideas. i have to give her that. and one of them got me and jason saying in a southern belle accent, "i've got the vapors." but jason took it a step further and gave us imagery of a woman fanning herself while saying, "i've got the vapors." have i ever mentioned how much i love jason?

you know who else i love? jasmine. she gave me a life aquatic beanie. i'm part of the crew. the life aquatic crew.

speaking of beanies, due to our cosmic connection jason gave me a tomball cougars beanie for christmas! have i mentioned how much i love that guy? stuffed inside the beanie were seasons 2 and 3 of strangers with candy! I LOVE JASON!

i also went to go watch the family stone. it was grrreeat! everyone should watch it. it made me laugh. it made me cry. twas great.

this christmas didnt really feel like christmas either. i really didnt want much. strange. b/c it seems i'm always wanting something. but i've been thinking about it and i think it can be attributed to the fact that i feel like i celebrated christmas a weekend earlier when i do believe i got everything i wanted. ahh.. wow.. i really am gay.

so "candy girl" by new edition pops up on my ipod as robert luce is in here showing off his steel toe boots. and wouldn't you know it... robert busts out dancing. then i see melissa hop in, shaking her groove thing. now i couldn't let them out do me. so i did my little sitting down dance.

"candy girl..."

sylvia shimmies in her chair, melissa does her little point in the air dance, and robert luce is digging his boot heel into my carpet.

"you are my world..."

sylvia, melissa and robert all repeat their patented moves.

"look so sweet..."

and repeat yet again.

"you're my special treat."

the end.

(cause then jimbob texted me and i had to call him to tell him about how we all were dancing to candy girl, and if anyone could appreciate it, it would be him.)

1) attend a screening of narnia
2) partake in make believe popcorn at said screening
3) dinner (that make believe popcorn is NOT filling)
4) transcendent cider tasting
5) photo op of the transcendent cider tasting

life could not be anymore beautiful than it is at this very moment.

the only thing i can actually hope for is the next time i get to meet them... i have the courage to say something. anything. i just want to let them know that i want to have all their babies and marry all three of them.

this encounter was only slightly better than my encounter with the singer of ours, jimmy gnecco. when i met him the only words that came out of my mouth were thank and you. what's your name? thank you. did you like the show? thank you. you were at the show where i took my clothes off?

i just realized something very disturbing. i don't usually gaze at myself in the mirror, but today while doing just that, i realized that my right calf is significantly bigger than my left calf.

how did that happen? how can i fix it? liposuction? i'm deformed. a monster. no wonder i don't wear skirts or dresses. and why oh why don't have i have an extra pair of jeans in the car. why did i decide on this stupid notion of wearing dresses all the time from here on out. if i'd known i was so severely misshapen i wouldn't have worn a dress today.

i'd noticed it before, but i just thought it was the angle that i was standing and my odd bowed legs. but nope. i have a right cow and a left calf. i'm sad.

asbestos you a-hole

2005-08-24T08:44:00.000-07:00

so yesterday as i was driving down the wonderous 610 loop i found myself behind an 18 wheeler. an 18 wheeler with a drop top apparently. it's tarp kept flapping open, and debris was flying EVERYWHERE. now i didn't mind so much at first when it was just newspaper sheets and perhaps a plastic bottle cap flying towards my window. but when i saw the drywall (probably riddled with asbestos) flying towards my car is when i began to get concerned. i couldnt shut the vents because i needed the air conditioning. it's hot outside people! instead i probably inhaled little bits of asbestos. it's probably coursing through my system.

actually, this isn't my only encounter with asbestos. when i lived on riverside in austin, i had to sign an asbestos waiver. i didn't really read it at all. i just signed and moved in. now i'm absolutely certain the waiver said if you drop dead from asbestos poisoning we're not at fault because you signed this little piece of paper. those tricky devils. they knew i was a poor college student and they enticed me into a toxic apartment with their cheap rent.

jason reasons that my asthma was set to go away that exact summer i moved into my riverside apartment. but the asbestos poisoning has prolonged my asthma's stay. damn you asbestos! i shake my fist at you. i shake my fist at you and your constant meddling into my life!

my eyes don't need to breathe

2005-08-17T20:14:00.000-07:00

so according to the acuvue advanced hyrdaclear commercial the contacts are supposed to be more comfortable and not feel like you're wearing anything on your eyeball.

well either the commercial lies or my eyes don't like the good shit. i've been wearing them for the past few months and my eyeballs hurt. i have worn my glasses way more often than when i wore the regular acuvue 2s, a supposedly lesser contact.

they're more "breathable." (you like how i put the period inside the quotation steve?) i don't think my eyes like breathable. cause more breathable is making my eyeballs feel like i just rubbed sandpaper on them.

anywho. my eyes hurt real bad. they're breathin too much.

what kind of place is this?

gotta make that money man

2005-08-16T10:57:00.000-07:00

so. as you can see by the two posts below, my two options for making money are:

1. donating my precious little baby eggs and convincing TWO couples they want the genes of a short bow-legged asian girl with an inability to sweat.

OR

2. get a celebrity to throw something at me, hit me with a bat, or abuse me in some way. (this might be double happiness, it depends on what celebrity and what kind of abuse but i might get some joy out of it as well as millions)

which shall it be ladies and gentlemen?

stujkx: carrying the baby must be $20,000
stujkx: donate two eggs so we can move
stujkx: actually, i bet its $5,000 total, and they take a bunch of eggs... for sperm, they probably only give like $50
ThatBabysAStereo: no way.. you can only take one egg at a time man!

2005-08-13T22:07:00.000-07:00

lately i don't feel like doing much. if i may steal a phrase from someone else and swap my name instead. i want sylvia time. perhaps i'm just a natural loner. i just want to hang out by myself and watch movies, read books or listen to music. sometimes i even do two of those at once. oooh.. what a multi-tasker. if i were any kind of multi-tasker i'd be able to do all three.

actually, when i called tony today he said he was watching tv and listening to music. add talking to me in the mix and that's 3 things that pretty much require you to listen. how do you listen to all that at once? can he really be comprehending any of it?

strangely enough, i'm not listening to anything right now. all that talk about wanting to watch movies, listen to music and read books and i'm not doing any of that. what a poser i turned out to be.

OWEN MEANY

2005-08-11T07:16:00.000-07:00

i finished reading a prayer for owen meany by john irving last night. it is now my new favorite book. it's the kind of book that when it ends you feel such a sadness because there's no more to read. usually i love it when i get to the end of a book because i finally get closure. but in this book. as much as i wanted to know what was going to happen to the characters, i didn't want closure. i never wanted the story to end.

for the second time in recent years i wept (what the hell... i had weeped and no one told me!)over a book. in 600 short pages i grew so attached to a character that their demise left me in tears. now, i know i said i cried after harry potter and the half blood prince, but i had 6 books worth of investment in those characters. of course i'd grown a bit attached to the characters. but owen meany... you've got to read it to understand.

in addition to being a great read, i think the book will help you renew your faith in God. even if it doesn't need renewing, i think it will strengthen it. i'm not a religious person, but it makes you feel good about God. maybe i'm just being silly who knows. just read the book.

crazy neighbors

2005-08-08T13:08:00.000-07:00

there are a few crazies that live in my neighborhood. the craziest of all has moved away i think. when i was younger i thought she knew voodoo and would put a hex on me. for some reason when i would walk by her house i'd feel all spooked. mind you younger means that this happened when i was 18, so this is no child's recollection. i used to call her the amazon woman. my first encounter happened while walking my little doggie, porsche. i was across the street from her house when i heard this banging. i look up and there she is. in her window. freakishly tall. staring at me and banging on her window. she just points at me and keeps banging. i'm all freaked out so i hurry home.

encounter 2. i'm rollerblading down the street with porsche. i'm just around the corner from my house and i hear yelling. i see crazy amazon woman barreling towards me. i'm freaked the hell out! i blade back to my house as fast as i can. and duck inside. i peek out the window and she's nowhere to be found.

from that point on i try to avoid her house, but porsche has a mind of her own and likes that route. i cannot deny my doggie anything, so despite my fears of the amazon woman i continue to walk that way. thankfully weeks go by and i don't see her. however, her house is undergoing mystic changes. she has little statues positioned in the huge window where i originally saw her appear. her front yard is suddenly lined with red glowing yard candles. she then installs purple lights by the huge window to highlight the weird little statues. and you people wonder why i thought this lady knew voodoo.

since i think this lady knows voodoo, i convince porsche we can never go that way again. so i start walking and rollerblading on the other side of the neighborhood. this is when i start to notice a car following me. i just thought i was being silly. of course that car is not following me. i mean.. sure i've seen it 3-4 times this week behind me and then round the corner and slow down and follow me. maybe they're just lost.

well.. that theory went down the drain when one day while checking my mail, the car pulls up to me. the window rolls down and lo and behold. it's amazon lady in the flesh! she starts yelling at me. where do you live? where do you live? i'm like.. why? i don't know you. what's wrong with you you freakishly big woman? so i start walking away really fast. i hear her tell the vacant eyed man driving to follow me. except they're driving in the opposite way, and that's when i start to run. i ran like the wind. i wasn't quite sure the scary voodoo people didn't follow me. but i kept peeking out the window and i didn't see them or their car. whew!!!!!

so after that i took great pains to always have company whenever i walked my dog. and i never did have an incident with crazy amazon lady again. shortly after all this happened my sister was at the homeowners meeting and she said that several of the neighbors complained that some huge lady was terrorizing the neighborhood kids. sadly.. i was their size and although i was 18 i'm pretty sure she thought i was an 8 year old. crazy amazon lady moved not too long after.

before she moved, my cousins moved into the neighborhood. the house they built was the exact same color and model as the amazon lady. i was always afraid that since they were living in the same type house that the amazon lady could put a hex on their house.

anywho.. i have other crazy neighbors, but i'm tired and i want to hear about yours.

as i was driving into work this morning i did my usual darting and weaving through the traffic. i noticed that i was pretty much emulating the moves of another corolla in front of me. i started to wonder if he was like.. why is this other corolla following me. so when he switched lanes i didn't follow even though i would have been going faster. instead another corolla pulls up next to him. and i'm thinking.. man this guy just can't get away from other corollas. then next thing i know. the car in front of me changes lanes to reveal another corolla. that's a total of 4 corollas driving in a row... so strange.

is there just an overabundance of corollas in houston? or is it that we're more conscious of what we drive and we tend to see it everywhere?

here's the set up. my sister is on the couch watching television. my little brother is in the kitchen preparing some food. i'm on the phone discussing a particularly trying day.

my mother comes down the stairs. she surveys the area. sees my brother, sister and me. so.. she decides that i'm the one that needs to hear what she has to say about the people mowing our lawn. me, the one on the phone heatedly talking about my horrible day. not my sister who is sitting on the couch not talking on the phone. not my brother who is in the kitchen not talking on the phone. but me. the girl on the phone. listening to someone on the other end of the line. the one motioning her mother towards her sister or brother. yeah folks me. cause clearly. i was the one who could devote my full attention to her.

the great thing about this is that this was the second time within 15 minutes that moms was talking to me while i was on the phone. earlier i was on the phone with my boss. and yeah. clearly again, since i had just walked through the door, i was the one that had the answers to why my brother came home later than usual.

now... my bones are creaky, my muscles are achey, i look like shit, and my motor skills and mental skills are excruciatingly slow. AND i didn't even go out 4 nights in a row. i went out 1 night, rested a day, then went out 3 nights in a row, and rested a day. and now here i am at work. i'm still exhausted. my body still hurts. i still look like shit... and i'm still stupid and slow.

i woke up early to take my boyfriend to the airport. he's a silly man sometimes. i had to go to work after i dropped him off. and i was already cutting it kind of close timewise. so on the way there he's like are we going to have to walk far to get to the check in? i'm like.. umm.. you want me to go in with you? he's like yeah. in my head i'm thinking.. i've got to get to work. but i'm like ok, if you want me to go with you i'll park and go in with you. then he looks at me all like i'm crazy and rude for not wanting to. forgetting that when we were in canada, and although he had time to spare, he did not go in with me. he just dropped me off and was like bye.

anywho. he's cray cray. but he's my kinda cray cray.

so yesterday i was out drinking with some friends after polka class. i was telling a coworker that i remembered the steps pretty well. and he told me i was blessed with a producer's mind. that i'm great at doing a, b, and c. then he elaborated some more. he said that i would be great at playing the guitar, but that i'd never make great music.

that makes me sad. and you know.. i kind of think it's true. i've always felt like i didn't have the creative mind to make movies. but yet, that's what i want to do. but i can't help but think i must have displayed some sort of creative talent in some classes because of the response i've had from professors and fellow classmates.

anyway. i suppose it was his bash on sylvia night. because he then told me that although i was cool, susan was the coolest.

i'm a little sad today. ego a little bruised. but. whatever. i'll still try to make my movies.

i can say one thing... thank goodness i'm friends with jasmine because she is super popular. she's sent more people my way than anyone else. which makes me wonder why barely anyone else is sending people my way. are my comments sucky? are their descriptions of me sucky? am i sucky?

damn you blogpatrol! you're ruining my self esteem!

i just reread polka is country. and i'm pretty sure i'm going to hell. i'm mean. who am i to call kevin a dud. i'm sure in some circles he's the belle of the ball. and i'm sure to many people i'm a dud. i'd be super sad if i read that i was a dud. not that he's going to come to my blog and read it or anything. so anyway. although everything was a bit meanspirited, i take full responsibility because every word is true. i'm going to hell in a handbasket.

wild wild west

2005-07-25T08:49:00.000-07:00

a few of my classmates and i decided to head out to wild west last night to put our moves to the test. and you know. i'm not such a two steppin wiz after all. i guess it's easier when you have the instructor keeping count for you. but who cares. we danced up a storm anyway. here's why last night was great.

1. we made up more than 80% of everyone that was there. we took over that dance floor! all 8 of us!

2. we learned how to do the bootin scootin boogie! woohoo! we rock!

3. we saw the other 2 people that were there upstairs having sex. it was like a free peepshow.

4. the dj told us we were the sorriest bunch of dancers he's ever seen.

ahh memories. good times good times.

on saturday night i went to a wedding reception. i took my sister along to keep me company. which is a good thing, since someone must have thought it was HILARIOUS to sit me at the same table as tony's ex-girlfriend. even though we're not on bad terms and she's a really nice girl it's still really awkward. i mean.. what do i say to her? i was thinking... i don't know her very well, should i say hi to her. i know she knows who i am, and i know she knows i know who she is.

eventually she ended up moving tables. whew! awkwardness ended. but then i proceeded to get drunk and dance around like a jackass. but that's ok. the whole wedding party was right there with me acting a fool.

again. good times. good times.

oh... here's a bit of good news. me boy is coming home for a visit this thursday. woohoo! welcome home tony!

polka is country

2005-07-22T09:00:00.000-07:00

i'm taking a beginning country western dance class. the two dances they are teaching us are the two step and the polka.

they're both relatively easy to learn. however, once upon a time long long ago, my exboyfriend tried to teach me at a roller skating rink. and for some reason i just couldn't pick it up. methinks it was the teacher and not the student, because i'm just a two-steppin wiz now. my girlfriends tell me i try to make it hip hop because i keep shaking my booty. but i'm pretty sure hip hop isnt the only music that causes booties to shake. well obviously it isn't, cause apparently mine is shakin to country.

jerri has an admirer that is taking the class to be near her. he is awful at the polka. and i don't understand how. its like skipping. anyway. after the instructor told us to kind of sway right and left, jerri's admirer had an epileptic seizure. or what appeared to be one. i was his first victim. he jerked my body forwards and backwards, while he jerked his knees all the way up to his chest it seemed trying to get the step together step. we looked like we were marionettes being controlled by a sick cruel puppeteer, or a 4 year old trying his hand at puppeteering. it was horrible.

i've also befriended the british man from our class. he's funny and always smells like alcohol. he told me he once travelled some 30 odd miles just to get $2 drinks. that's totally not worth the drive. so since it was wednesday, i quickly invited him to $1 pint night at 2 rows. i was supposed to meet my coworkers marty and adrian there. and british man is pretty funny, so why not. plus he seemed to be pretty lonely. unfortunately... jerri's dud of an admirer caught wind and invited himself along. but to his credit, he did provide good conversation fodder for us.

once he arrives, jerri, susan (jerri's sis), juliette (my sis) and i are already seated. we've made introductions. mind you it is now 9:30pm and marty and adrian had been there drinking since about 6:30. adrian's sister in law is there and she's smoking and being polite about it. she has her arm up to keep the smoke away from us. kevin (the admirer), comes and she immediately says to excuse her smoking. and adrian says excuse her arm for being up in the air like that, it's because she's a republican. kevin says, "huh?" and i tell kevin, don't stare because it's an affliction and she can't put her arm down. kevin again says, "huh?" marty repeats that he shouldn't stare. kevin, "huh?" one more time folks. and again, "huh?"

then marty's buddy brian comes along. marty makes introductions. remember... it's now 10:30. marty's been there 4 hours. 4 hours of $1 pints. he forgets half our names. and introduces everyone like this, "that's lalala, adrian, sylvia, humma nah, humma nah, and jerri." adrian's sister in law immediately tells brian her real name, as do susan and juliette. they're not offended. they actually think it's pretty funny.

so jerri's main man kevin, after a couple minutes, get's all heroic and says, i don't believe you introduced these ladies. and i'm all.. "uh yeah he did... that's humma nah and humma nah., not to mention the fact that they introduced themselves."

marty and i were a bit confused as to his antics. i mean... he was like super late in trying to be the hero. by the time he brought it up again, we were all confused as to what he was even talking about. and what was the point? marty says he wanted to show off for jerri. and he kept looking increasingly angry as jerri spent the majority of the night talking to the british man. who sadly is heartbroken. his wife left him 3 years ago, and after 2 years of wallowing in depression and loneliness, he's decided to pick up the pieces of his life. and i guess that starts with beginning c&w classes. he's also taking salsa and spanish lessons mind you.

anyway. i'm glad i took this class. it's been loads of fun.

oh wait. the best part is, without any prompts or remarks from us, brian says to kevin as he's leaving, "i don't care what they say, you're not boring!" he came to that conclusion all on his own.

i'm a loner dottie, a rebel

2005-07-19T07:36:00.000-07:00

that's one of my favorite songs from the get up kids. i believe the song is about a sweet dreamy one night stand. jon says that one night stands are never sweet or dreamy. they're just raunchy. i'm taking a poll. does anyone believe that you can have a one night stand that is sweet and romantic? why? why not? please let's discuss.

before i leave you i have to include this chat i'm having with jon at this moment.

ThatBabysAStereo: chanblacky: it can happen if the people care about each other enough, but maybe they feel it could never work... or maybe there afraid to take it further than a one night stand
ThatBabysAStereo: i didnt even prompt him!
ThatBabysAStereo: woohoo!
iHATEeverybody00: he's talkin about one night stands with like friends
ThatBabysAStereo: but couldnt it be with a cool stranger you met
iHATEeverybody00: yeah if you live in the world of serendipity or dawsons creek
iHATEeverybody00: otherwise its a drunken humpfest

jon is hilarious. i love him.

in san diego they have lobster

2005-07-19T07:12:00.000-07:00

my friend jerri has made friends with a boy from san diego named ata. he in turn has brought another friend from san diego named daniel. ata is fresh out of college. and dan is still in college. they are young. they are sweet. and let face it. kids say the cutest things.

jerri's sister kathy asked daniel if he's ever tried chicken fried steak. he had no idea what chicken fried steak was and when kathy expressed shock that he didn't know. he said, "in san diego we have lobster."

is this a fair trade off? chicken fried steak is to lobster as sylvia is to porcupines?

i love you harry potter

2005-07-17T22:09:00.000-07:00

so i picked up my copy after i watched charlie and the chocolate factory on friday night.

after the movie i felt super sick. i had a huge headache and i was all feeling like i was going to vomit. which i almost did when i got to my sister's car. but i still had to go get my book.

i got to borders where i reserved my copy at about 12:20am. i was number 467. which meant that there were 466 other people who picked up books before me. damn! people are freaks! i took the book home.. read the first few chapters and had to go to sleep. i was seriously feeling ill.

i woke up at about 2pm on saturday. yikes! i had about 10 hours of sleep. it felt really good. and i didnt feel sick anymore... i think it was just what i needed. i promptly picked up my book, which i had been hugging and caressing all night, and started reading. yes before i brushed my teeth. who cares people... harry doesn't. after about 30 minutes i got out of bed to freshen up.

my brother and sister thought i was cray cray for sleeping so long and we immediately made lunch plans since i woke so late. i didn't want to stop reading so my sister went to get some takeout. i did try to make plans to see crash at 5:40pm, but i think both my brother and sister knew it wasn't going to happen. unless i read freakishly fast and finished the half blood prince by then, but no... i'm not that talented and so no... didn't make the movie.

i got to the sad part around 10pm. i cried and cried. and for the 10th time that day my brother thought i was cray cray. he couldn't believe that i'd cry over a book. but let me tell you people. the half blood prince. GREAT! now i can't wait for goblet of fire to come out in november. woohoo! what a great book. methinks i'll reread it again this week.

cause i'm a follower

2005-07-17T22:02:00.000-07:00

so. jason told me he has a list of all the movies he's ever watched. i thought that was pretty cool and got me curious as to how many i've watched. so i started to compile my own. here's what i've come up with. i'm still updating it.

karate chop!

2005-07-14T11:25:00.000-07:00

ok. so here's why i think my friends are the greatest.

as some of you might know i've recently become absolutely obsessed with the show veronica mars. i think its one of the best shows on television now if not the best. the writing is smart and hilarious. well there was this one episode, and i'm totally paraphrasing so all you veronica mars obsessive fans don't yell at me for not quoting it word for word, where veronica is talking to logan and he wants to go somewhere and she doesn't want him there. so he says how are you going to stop me. she says something along the lines of strength of will, blah blah blah, karate chop! and does this cute little motion. ever since that episode i think karate chop! is the best little phrase of all time. i sprinkle it here and there. even when it doesn't make sense.

so anyway back to my original sentence. i was browsing through all of jason's old blogs. and then i come across one with the title karate chop! back in november 2004. the title makes no sense with what he blogged about. but there it was. way before i had ever heard it on veronica mars. just sitting there. my favorite witty gem of a line. and it came from jason. ahh.. he's the coolest.

look in the mirror why don't you

i was talking to jon about how annoying it is when asian girls/boys think that dating outside of the race is just the coolest. i mean. i'm not against dating other ethnicities. i'm just against putting down your own ethnicity while you're in the process of doing it. i mean.. look in the mirror. you're asian. if you say you're not dating an asian girl/boy because they're not as good as whites/blacks/mexicans/italians or whatever, you're putting yourself down. and what ever happened to liking someone because you like them. i know its cheesy of me to be all like, i don't see color or whatever, but honestly. all the boys that i've ever dated, not one of them did i choose because i was like... oooh.. he's vietnamese.. that's so hot. or wow.. it's time for me to date a mexican because they are just the coolest accessory now.

hot vs. cool

2005-07-14T10:38:00.000-07:00

ever since they released the lineup for the acl festival, i've been debating whether or not i should go. last year i went and i vowed never to go again. i have two phobias. being touched or the threat of being touched by sweaty people. and large crowds. i also have a strong aversion to the heat. i'm sure that's the case for a lot of people. but for some reason i don't seem to be able to sweat to cool myself off. instead i turn bright red in preparation for the pore clogging which will then turn me into one huge blackhead. so you can see how perhaps a festival in austin, tx in the summer, which about 75,000 people attended, might have left me scarred and vowing never to return.

now do i risk this hot sweaty mass of people to attend? there's at least 5 bands that i'm super excited to see and 5 others that i'm really looking forward. then there are probably like 5 that i've heard about and really want to check out. it's a hard decision to make. i need help. i'm taking a poll. should i or shouldn't it?
