ohh The Shins are so good.

so things have happened since we last talked. but i think i've forgotten them all. i guess i've been on a streak of spontaneity this week. it didn't lead to all good things, unfortunately. on Wednesday i got the urge to donate blood so i went to the blood drive, not having eaten or drank anything at all. so basically i gave my pint and passed out. my calves cramped up and i hyperventilated and now my right arm is bloody and bruised and disgusting. it was an interesting experience. i think i scared the shit out of those volunteers.

two days before that, on Monday, i failed all my midterms. that was fun. don't know what i'm going to do now... if i estimate correctly, in order to get even B's in my classes I have to start studying for finals..... . . . N O W. screw that. ehm. but francais is going okay! j'aime le cours du francais beaucoup!!!!!! i know that sentence is wrong but it's okay. d'accord.

Thursday barb and i went to westwood where we [1] ate at baja fresh [2] got jamba juce [3] saw barb's retarded boyfriend security guard at rite aid [4] found a husband outside of the chinese place (cant believe we'll never see him again. god why wasnt i spontaneous enough to ask him to marry me) and [5] found another husband driving the escort service bus. it was such a successful outing.

yesterday was the longest day of my life. yes, i'm exaggerating. but after class 10-2 and work 2-6, i went to in n out for Mentorship social, which was cool ... but every time i meet people i am reminded of all of the people i do not know. that's dumb but... i still think of that. after that i met matt and barb and hawaiian bbq, which apparently sucks. so we were sitting there and i saw a bus and said hey! let's go on the bus! so we accidently fell onto it and it was going to santa moncia so we walked around 3rd street for a long while. then we headed back and hit up a frat party hahaha. i had to beg the bouncer in my best sorority girl voice to let us in. then we returned to dorms and that was the end of it.

Today i woke up and had the urge to go to the Getty (spontaneity kicking in- btw i think ikeep spelling that word wrong). so ehm i got ready in 10 min and caught the bus (well not really caught-- i waited for about 30 min). saw the amazing Cezanne watercolor exhibit (it was freaking awesome. if you go to ucla or happen to be in la go see that !!) i'll probably go back once more and spend more time there. came back to ucla, ate, went to the library, which was very nice as the library is lovely and i was in good company. had a really good dinner because people were talking! that sounds dumb but vinh shao and shaos roommate and monica were really fun to eat with. BLING BLING. then i went to see Shrek2 all by myself. i wanted to see it and i have no friends, what can i say. but galina saw me there so she sat by me and afterwards we talked for a long time about various things. longest conversation ive ever had with her.

Now i'm back in my room enjoying my solitude with a mug of tea and the sweet melodies of The Shins. actually i'm about to change to dylan. oh my god i feel like such a phoney calling him "dylan". . mainly because i didn't know of the man a little over a year ago. but it doesn't matter right. it doesn't matter how i heard about this music (shut up salo) or when.... just that i like it. and i do! in fact, Knocking on Heaven's Door was softly playing as I went getting a pint of blood pumped out of my body.

my arm looks beautiful, by the way. blue and red and purple.
whoa chris cheng and mark ramsland just came to my door. soo random. looking for karen. haha - everyones always looking for someone else. just kidding thats dramatic.

okay time to go and imagine that the guy at the chinese place loved me but was too chicken to approach me and we're secretly meant to be and this is all so tragic.

the good times are killing me - modest mouse.
bye time to watch me some saved by the bell, baby!

you will laugh at me (and I'm fully prepared for being laughed at) but I had a Darcy dream!! Makes reality so much more painful, verdad?

I have to congratulate myself on accomplishing nothing today except finishing off half a cheesecake!! tomorrow I will suffer consequences of not studying. Oh, my spanish teacher wouldnt give me a recommendation today, what a *!&^$*&!%.
