and my fishy life takes a turn for the worst →
The lovely Joanne Mosuela sent me a link today regarding seafood recommendations based on how the fish are caught / farmed and what it has to do with you, me, and the world as we know it. I thought, “I think I make okay choices - my seafood is pretty mainstream, why not check myself out?”
I first turn to salmon. I recently bought a large bag of Atlantic Salmon from Costco to make...

... what's the point?
why write a blog?
honestly, what makes my opinion, my thoughts, my blog - so important that i should share it with the world and post it on the Internet? am i really so cocky as to think ‘hey, someone will want to read this.’ and even worse, ‘hey, someone will want to read this even if i use improper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.’
yet here i go, typing...
sigh
As I type, Maynard is making his way to Japan. I’m really lucky we got to spend a lot of time together (and with Myron!) before we left. I mean, we took a road trip, hung out in California, and ended off with a trip to Richmond and Busch Gardens. Up to this moment, I have been pretty sad just thinking about him leaving but now that I await his last call before he boards his plane at LAX...

Graduation, etc.
I remember after every year in high school, and the first 2 years of undergrad - I wrote these long sappy blog posts about how everyone has made an outstanding impact on my life and listed them all by name with little shoutouts. It’s kinda funny that after Graduation (when I am moving farthest away in St. Louis), I neither feel the urgency to write such an emo post nor do I feel like I...

Reascending Chingkangshan
I have long aspired to reach for the clouds And I again ascend Chingkangshan Coming from afar to view our old haung, I find new scenes replacing the old. Everywhere orioles sing, swallows dart, Steams babble And the road mounts skyward. Once Huangyangchieh is passed No other perilous place calls for a glance. Wind and thunder are stirring, Flags and banners are flying Wherever men live....
oh, money.
i’m currently filling out Student Loan applications for the first time. sigh, sitting here and thinking - why is the process of “getting a good education” so expensive? honestly, washu. please give me more money.

eff dude. today sucks. in other news, facebook tells me:
You are one fierce bitch. You are very independent and will take no bullshit from anyone but your personality is actually sort of quiet and shy. You are a natural beauty and you are very comfortable with your feminity. You don’t feel the need to overdo it or go out of your way to fuss over your looks. You don’t want to distract...
A Person Who Complains of Having Nothing to Do
“I wonder what feelings inspire a man to complain of “having nothing to do.” I am happiest when I have nothing to distract me and I am completely alone.
If a man conforms to society, his mind will be captured by the filth of the outside world, and he is easily led astray; if he mingles in society, he must be careful that his words do not offend...

Song from “In The Heights” — the Broadway I watched last night (:
This song reminded me of Maynard, because he likes to say that I’ll change the world some day.
the tracks elevate fly to the highest point and yet who knows when the pinnacle moment arrives will this be a thriller? a topsy turvy head over heels fantasy and reality? or another forgettable flop. no, not me. i am a classic. they came from the depths of all over to see me to experience me — i am suspense the build keeps you waiting and wanting the first fall is not enough, keep...

i am hungry. and i lost my license.
that sucks.
Lent
Ellen: What should I give up for Lent?
Me: Your clothes!
Ellen: Too late.
Me: AHHH! ((shields eyes))
This is my Lent plan.
1.) Need to be in bed by 12:00 AM on Mondays - Wednesdays. Exceptions are when: Barrio practice ends at 12 (but go to bed right after), and Monday, April 6.
2.) No more unnecessary snacking. This sounds kinda weird, because.. there are many loopholes to this. But what I mean by this is : for example, tonight I ate chicken tenders and ramen for absolutely no reason. Was I hungry? No. ...
excitement dancing to the beat of independence and that feeling that feeling of being ushered into a waterfall as each cold splash hits the body no planning, no decisions, just jump
but slow and steady flows the river the crashing onto rocks smooths jagged edges an embrace of righteousness love the unbreakable bond of experience and stilts the barrel rocks from side to side until tsunamis roll in...

Barbie? give me the boy toy for my happy meal, please. then heading into the big time. no matter how many times my green side came out and that dreaded paper bag filled with my insides it was still my rocket into outer space and my rocket into inner happiness before final destination – Great America. sixteen years and three months add one week — (i...

Friends?
I had a much needed fun weekend —
Thursday — my first time @ ‘bars’ if you could call it that, because I am not 21 so obviously I could not drink anything, just hung around with everyone, not that I really needed anything after Clay & hot chocolate, haha. Then, chilled with Ellen until Mary ‘snuck’ away to meet us at the Rotunda.

anthropology poem
Pavillion VIII Click. Click. Click. Enter.
but im not taking notes. Anthropology, biology, cultureology, like a professor, like an oracle, like God.
Well I believe in the witch doctor.

happy obama day! (: [this pic is when he was in cville]
this is crazy, i don’t think i’ve ever seen this much presidential hype. the biggest thing to hit DC i tell you. the biggest.
here’s to you, mr. president. in hopes that you know what you’re doing, because you have the people of the United States of America riding on your every word.
Went shopping today:
Maynard bought me a Eddie Bauer VEST for Valentine’s Day. He bought himself a nice jacket because he’s never warm, too. (:
Other purchases:
Vest for Elmo from Build-a-bear. Keep him warm when he goes out because he’s still losing his hair ):
( ^ Not the pair I bought, but for the sake of aesthetics. hehe. ) Express had a big sale! Jeans were only...

but… what is the point? IS ANYONE OUT THERE!? honestly, why would someone bother to read what i wrote on this silly online website?
and so it goes…
today was the first home ACC game of the basketball season.
