Mice:
|
We had so many mice,
that I didn't have to yank any from working computers... All the mice
were just lying about.... Need a mouse?
|
On marriage…
Someone asked me to marry them today,
I said "no."
However, I was engaged
to be married almost exactly a year ago. It was supposed to be very hush-hush,
a sort of eloping with my best friend and the boy's best friend as witnesses.
We had the dresses all picked out, but it fell through. There were supposed
to be rings (from one of those quarter machines), a prenup., and temporary
changing of my last name. Then we would divorce a month later. We both
wanted to be able to say, "yes, I was married before, I was young
and 19… No, it didn't work out."
Right:
The outfit I had chosen for last year's "wedding" (minus the
mouse bouquet)

Guy
Pals:
|
I hung out with
my best pal James today. He's the greatest. Not only does he give great
boy advice (because he is a boy), but we play halo.
|
I finally found a photo reference
of two people kissing. It's almost impossible to find one. And it's not like
I can go up to my friends and say, "hey, you two, you're dating right?
Can you kiss each other so I can use you as a photo reference? Oh, a little
to the right. Ok good. Hold that pose. No, no, less tongue."

Boys
are toys:
|
J/k! I'm going to
start being nicer to boys... Yep that is my new aspiration in life,
as well as brainwashing the general populartion through the clothes
they buy.

Donald
and I were driving to Nicotine (a tabacco product store in 5 points) to
buy his yearly supply of clothing for school when we spotted the HOT DIX
mobile.

I'm so sick of krispy kreme doughnuts. If i ever have another one I
am going to puke everywhere (my mommy works at KK).

Where
can you go to be surrounded by hot guys all night long?
A LAN party.
I was there with 7 hot
guys and one hot girl. And it was really hot... there were 9 computers
running in an unairconditioned garage.
LAN- local area
network. Think of it as a plug and play for computer games. A group gathers,
computers entow, we hook them together on a network, and play games together,
share files, etc... or talk on aim...

Some
Boy:
|
told me he loved
me today. I think people like to tell me that to mess with me.
|
|
I've been doodling...
Yay, James is risen (err, i mean returned). Blah blah, stuff about people
you don't know. Boys, more boys, girl... just kidding.

I
look:
|
Insanely pissed
off in my new picture on the side. Hmm, maybe I should change that..
It's my err, makeup angst.
|
|
i
accidentally
drew
a picture of myself in my underwear. you might be
wondering how that detail could slip my mind; after drawing naked
people every thursday for a year, underwear seems like a complete
outfit.
|
|

I should be at work,
except that genius lil' ol' me misplaced her keys. So mommy has to drive
back from her job at krispie kreme with the extra set. SUCK!!!
A summation of things
I have been doing in the past two weeks: one darling kitten--Paul Oakenfold
with Jay and Jason and my parents at a night club called Plush-Sonny's
with em, em, ike, dave (sounds like a pop band)-two calls from THE creepy
ex bf-Plushing it with girl pals Christina, em, kt + jay-collecting pirated
software (of course I would never really do that)… Such is life :
)

Actually:
|
The entry for July
7. But what can I say, procrastination rues the day. I'm not sure if
that made any sense, but it rhymed.
|
|
And
here we have my teeth. I received a satisfactory report at the dentist
today. This is probably because I have spent 23 minutes a day brushing
since third grade. A dental hygienist gave a presentation in the auditorium
and scared me into brushing with her plaque monster puppet.

JULY 03 |
Frustrated:
|
with everyone, so
I drove to the dog track and back with Katie. Yeah that makes sense,
in the I don't have a gambling addiction way. Plus it reminds me of
the 300zx I killed.
|
Today I passed out at work.
I am now a shining example of why women shouldn't be allowed in the work place.
I had only been standing for an hour at my less-than-overly demanding job in
full airconditioning when i fainted. Tommorrow I am loading myself up with carbs;
spaghetti for breakfast!
And no more comments, they
take way too long to make, no one ever comments, and thus they aren't time effective.

Based
on:
|
 Jacksonville
billboard
|
Above:
the product of Diana and Adobe Photoshop |
Lex & Terry did not
want these boards to go up because the idea has been done a thousand times by
other morning shows, but the company did so against their wishes. -Lex&TerryWebsite
Why am
I against the Lex & Terry billboard, but not against Hooters?
Although Hooters may be setting
the feminist movement back fifteen years, willing women have the right to flaunt
it. If they enjoy a slap on the butt and being oogled, then more power to them.
Therefore both the waitresses and the customers are getting what they want.
But, are these Lex or Terry's
breasts? No, this is an excuse to show cleavage on the interstate. "Hey
look, we made a giant picture of breasts for your viewing pleasure. Therefore,
you should listen to our radio station."

Two different guys
who seemed the same age as my brother. Boy was that ever freaky and
weird. Talk about robbing the cradle, I must have been wearing my "young"
outfit today.

Tonight was the annual
gathering of Mindy, Liz, Anne, and myself. After turning down ideas of
pursuing bad date activities as evenning entertainment(i.e. mini-golf,
bowling, visiting Super Walmart), we visited Mindy's Dad's apartment and
watched Sex and the City with Godiva icecream.

Slept:
|
For three hours,
then woke up to do work before a day out with james, dave, andy, and
andy's friend.
|

See
the pretty pictures; sometimes I feel like it's all in the packaging.
I
got Sonny's, went to the beach to play football and frisbee, played
Halo, and saw Charlie's Angels today.
And
then this amazing boy gave me access to the world's greatest FTP
server. This is better than if Kenneth Cole let me have all of their
clothes for free.

Me
= Bad Fashion Designer:
|
I couldn't iron
my brother's shirt today; I get graded on my ironning abilities in class.
Not only did i keep ironning extra wrinkles in brother's shirt, but
I was eating a cookie and some of the chocolate fell on the shirt. I
ironned that chocolate right into the fabric.

My Guest Appearance
on TV
Today I experienced
life as a single working mom. I left work early to iron Donald's shirt,
fix his hair, and take him to a school board meeting to receive an award...
then I was called center stage in front of the cameras as his representative
parent.
While there, I learned
that there is a pic of my old sci fair project located here:

Egads, I think webcrawlers
are storming my site. As you may have noticed, there is a webcounter cleverly/not-so-cleverly
placed in the side picture. It counts visitors by each new IP address* that
visits my site. There is no way that thirty new human visitors saw my site today.
*What
is an IP address you ask?

Tonight,
Tonight:
|
I was supposed to
go clubbing, but wound up watching a movie with some good ol' friends.
So I've decided to entertain you with my last clubbing eperience in
Providence's HELL.
|
I dressed incognito,
sporting bjork twisted hair, black slacks and sleeveless, and sunglasses
(as opposed to my usual curly bob, bright colored dress, w/ contacts);
I was trying to avoid being approached by a certain boy E. Unfortunatley,
seeing a barely lit world through tinted lenses made it really difficult
to ascertain whether or not boy E was there. I personally believe that
he was, and that my disguise was flawless as he did not approach me.

 A
different boy started to dance with me. Then, out of no where, he starts
waving his crotch at me. EWW! What do you say in a situation like that?
“your crotch is not attractive sir, I really would not enjoy dancing
with it.”
Then I was hit on by
man G who tried to speak to me in Japanese. This is not uncommon in “my
life as a Chinese-American” (you know, because despite the fact that
my family has lived in America for five generations, I am not “American.”
Neither are American Indians. But those originating from Europe, they
are true “Americans”). Man G kept following me around the dance
floor, despite the fact that I was obviously running away from him. Finally,
Marsha and her boy (Sean) gave me a demonstration of how to deal with
these sorts of situations in the future. I have provided an illustrated
diagram below in case you ever find yourself in a similar situation.

HOW TO WARD OFF PERSONAL SPACE OFFENDERS
|
|
|
|
| 1.
|
Shove
him in a forceful manner, using two hands. |
2. |
Say
“FUCK OFF!” in a commanding tone. |
Since
I rarely curse (I hope I don’t giggle after I say “fuck,”
that would really ruin my assertion).

Falling
in Love with stability.
What is it about the world
that makes the general population fall in love with stability and commitment?
Is it knowing that the whatever, whenever, whomever will be there exactly when
you want it? And why have I always thought my life all the better because I
kept irregular sleeping hours, got jobs on commission, refuse to commit to one
guy, and had no regular place of residence as indicated by my laptop computer
(home is where I share the ethernet)?
This summer,I've added the
variable of regularity. I'm loving it. I have a steady job, I'm sitting at my
desktop (typing on my 12 year old keyboard)... so those are the only two regular
things at the moment. They make me feel really good about myself. I go regularly
to work, and regularly have a desktop to come home to, that always sits in the
same place in my room. It makes me wonder, do I really want to join the spontaneous
world of glitzy fashion, clubs, and art gallery openings?

The

for two days?

Emasculating Boys
Apparently I emasculate boys,
dates, potential dates, anything male. I'll marry the man who changes his last
name to Eng. Perhaps that's an exaggeration.
We live in a society that
boasts equal rights for women. So when Saturday came along, I asked a nice boy
to have a friendly dinner with me. When the check came, he wanted to pay for
me. However, I felt that it was inappropriate since I had asked him. Some people
have complained that when I insist on going Dutch, they feel like I am asserting
my independence from them. So I went for a third option. I grabbed the check,
and paid for the guy. This was the first dinner I'd ever treated a boy to, and
I felt really good about myself. I'm not sure if he felt good about himself
(he made some comments about cutting off his penis and handing it to me); but
he should have felt good about himself. If you were a guy and a cute* girl wanted
to buy you dinner, would there be anything so wrong with that (*he said I was,
of course, this is before I bought the dinner). Whenever I go out with guys
who aren't particularly my friends they always insist on paying. What's so different
if the girl pays?

Art Institute summer program some 3 years ago.

Neocon
2003 is a furniture exhibition.
It takes place in the Chicago Merchandise Mart, the world's largest enclosed
vendor space. I wish that everyone had a chance to attend Neocon; you walk through
interior spaces that look like things out of the movies, or music videos. You
are "shmoozed" with drinks and gifts just for visiting.
