still awake? yeah
it's scary to look at the new My.UCLA page. Not just because it's new... but because it says "summer week 10". I spent nearly the equivalent of an extra quarter here at UCLA..
It makes it worse that it's almost two quarters now and i still haven't learned how to play this game..
Anyways, not sleepy. I've been sleeping too much anyhow.
1. Are you in a relationship?
Nope. don't get me started. Let's say i'm very close to one, yet so far away. Of course, in the end it could all mean nothing, because girls have this problem where they think they can do all this stuff with a guy and it's all platonic, even if she knows he's crazy about her. or better yet, the girl likes to test the limits and does all this stuff until she realizes she might have gone to far and pulls back... way back. Ah yes, and it's worse when it's both at the same time.. Oh look, i got started.
2. Do you hate more then 3 ppl?
I hate one person really... everyone else i'm just annoyed, weirded out, or just frustrated with. If you follow my journal, or at least know enough about me, you'll know who it is!
3. How many houses have you lived in?
Actually lived in? 1. Although, my parents moved from an apartment after i was born but before i could remember, and i don't know if college dorms count.
4. What is your favorite candy ?
Anything gummy, chocolatey, sour(y?) or just sweet is good enough for me.
5. What are your favorite shoes?
My $120 personalized babies with my initials on them and decked out in UCLA colors.
6. Have you ever tripped someone?
not purposely
7. FAVORITE SUMMER TRIP THIS YEAR? (whats so exciting about this question? why is it in all caps?)
The furthest i've gotten from UCLA this summer has been to Magic Mountain last week. It was fun, but things felt like they just got complicated again after that when things were going oh so well (follow from number #1)
9. Do you own a Britney Spears CD?
uhhhh........ no
10. Have you ever thrown up in public?
yeah, i was sick but my brother offered that i go with him to watch Blade Trinity. i think it was a punishment from god because i promised my girlfriend at the time that i would go see it with her but there was an opporunity right there, and i wanted to watch it! haha. (i was going to lie and just watch it again with her)
11. Name someone that's ALWAYS on your mind.
haha.. bbbeeetttttter not.
12. What is your favorite music genre?
I don't know. I listen to all that's good. But i like R&B and i'm getting into the mellow music of like jack johnson and all.
13. What is your sign?
Sir Goat. Capricorn
14. What time were you born?
9:45ish in the morning.. i think.. that's the time that pops up in the head
15. Do you like beer?

16. Have you ever made a prank call?
Nope.

Summer. It's (supposed to be) more fun.

Blue, or dark.
24. Pepsi or coke?

25. What color is your cell phone?
There's a black cover on it. Underneath it's greyish blueish greenish??
26. Wheres your second home?
i think i mentioned this before, but both UCLA and my home home feel like home for me. I can go to one without ever feeling like i've been gone for too long. So, outside of that, i think Thailand would be my second home because i go there nearly every year.
27. Have you ever slapped someone?
I want to...
28. Have you ever had a cavity?
yeah, when i was little. Now i don't get 'em or my dentist never tells me. I don't like my dentist much and i think he picks up on that. hehe. (Story: Didn't start out that way. i was just didn't talk much when iw as little. But, a few years ago (like, when i was 18?.. so, a year ago) the dentist tells me my teeth are crooked, again (i've had braces on twice). first i was angry at my mother because she with her imagined doctoral degree thought that the $45 check-ups during my retainer period was useless and told me not to go. Then, the dentist started saying that i was supposed to always wear my retainer for the rest of my life. Okay, no. I know what my orthodontist said.. after 2 years i can stop wearning them. That's what he said BOTH TIMES I HAD MY BRACES ON (fyi, the first time i had braces it was on my baby teeth. For some reason, the ortho said it would be a good idea to put them on then. It would be on some of the adult teeth already grown and there's a good chance that the adult teeth would then come in straight. Pfft, well, the adult teeth came in, pushed the other adult teeth out of wack, rendering the first time entirely useless). And i hated those retainers. I think i would have remembered if he said i had to wear them for the rest of my life because then i would have killed him right then and there. Besides, my brother never wore them when he got them and never wears them now. But no, the dentist here thinks that "oh, you're just a little kid, you probably just heard what you wanted to hear.... how old are you? 15? 16?" I said to him "I'm 18!! (you fucking idiot)". he was all.. "oh.." and what does that bastard do? He GOES AND CHECKS THE FILE! The best part of it is, he reads over it, and goes "ah, you're only 17". The nurse looks at him, and says "if he were born in 85, he'd be 20, but it says 87, so that means it's 18" The dentist goes "but i was trying to taken into account the dates". I remember, the date was in MID JULY. Even if you looked at the date backwards i'm STILL 18 YEARS OLD. I just got up and left when he was done with me. Not even a word. From then on, he gets nothing out of me. I should have slapped him! hah!)
29. How many lamps are in your bedroom?
(wow, and the mood dies down again) This room at UCLA? 1 really. The other light is the ceiling light
30. How many video games do you own?
too many
31. What was your first pet?
squeakers, the class guinea pig. I won her in a class raffle. She was unnaturally large for her species, which accounted for her short life.
33. Do looks matter?
of course, but as chan kindly put it, the girl i'm fond of at the moment (and the cause of, most, of my frustrations) is no supermodel. And she's asian, so its not like she has a chest or an ass or anything (hehe). Ah, but she's super cute (at least when she's not playing with mind as if it were a violin).. What can i say?
34. Do you use Chapstick?
nope.. and i should.. but i don't.. and i won't
36. American Eagle or Abercrombie?
Too white for me. Both of them. Not like i have anything wrong with it, it's just... expensive. Cost benefit ratio is too high (not worth looking white washed)
37. Are you too forgiving?
i can be, and i try to be. Oh trust me, i've given the one guy i hate many chances, and it just seems that everytime i do, he makes my life even more miserable. So it's not my fault. oh, and let's not forget the girls (with an s) who have stepped on my heart and yet, i take them to the movies. WHY CAN'T I STOP!!!
38. How many children do you want?
At least 2. And they have to be of a relatively close age... say, 2-3 years max? 6 years (my brother and I) was a little much.
39. Do you own something from Hot Topic?
I want to. Mostly stuff for my car. But, i don't own a car. At least not outright.
40. What is your favorite breakfast?
Lunch.
41. Do you own a gun?

42. What was the last thing you ate?
Cereal and tri-tip over noodles. it was my 2nd dinner at work.
43. When was the last time you cried?
Quite some time ago.
44. What did you do 3 nights ago?
Sunday.. Saturday.. Friday night! i... sat in my room bored out of my mind. mmm. yes. Although it seemed so long ago. I felt like i did something, because it did go by unusually fast. But it's not coming to me, and i really don't think i did anything anyways.
45. When was the last time you went to Olive Garden?
Long, long ago... i think for my first ex girlfriend's birthday, like two years ago.
46. Have you ever called your teacher mom?
Possibly.

However you spell the spanish equivalent to my name (i have too many hispanic friends). And my online moniker: chopstickz (or some variant of it)
49. Do you know anyone named Bertha?
... no
50. Have you ever been to Kentucky?
What's there?
51. Do you own something from Banana Republic?
actually yes. Sort of. I Stole it from the brother, as i usually do.
52. Are you thinking about somebody right now?
Haha. every other question i incorporate her into the answer somehow, what do you think? (other than that i have problems)
53. Have you ever called someone Boo?
Actually, no.
54. Do you smoke?
Too health conscious... well, sort of. I'll eat whatever the hell i want, but that's it.
55. Do you own a diamond ring?
yeah, it's for my 3rd wife
56. Are you happy with your life right now?
Right now right now? Honestly, no. I miss the swagger i had back at the end of high school. I had it all and i failed to see it. Now, i'm fat, lazy, miserable at work, miserable at school, can't understand how people can have several boyfriends/girlfriends in a year (or month), can't understand why i can't get the swagger back, can't understand why all my opportunities never work or never get the chance (i just see these opportunities, for ex: the cute girl at work who breaks up with her boyfriend and asks to hang out with me but alas, i already made plans to go home to pick up my car to take the girl of my interest and my scorn for what i already knew would be, to her, a meaningless night out) and i can't understand why i keep fucking it all up.
57. Do you dye your hair?
long ago i did, and i want to again. It just doesn't last long enough, and it costs too much
58. Does anyone like you?
pfft, aparently not. Although, as previously stated, the cute girl at work did show interest after her boyfriend dumped her. But, all my attempts to reestablish the connection has failed. that would be my... one... attempt after that night her boyfriend dumped her. Can't appear desperate right?
60. What were you doing May of 1994?
Shoot, i dont' remember. Apparently i was in elementary school (umm.. 1st grade?)... can't remember the name of the teacher... mrs. Conway! ha!.. and doing.. something..
61. Do you own a Backstreet Boys CD?
God dammit no! (i don't own CDs.. but i'll admit when i was young and naive i was a fan)
62. McDonald's or Wendy's?
mm.. McD's.
63. Do you like yourself?
Sometimes. Usually when i see myself above most other guys, but not when i realize what it gets me (that would be... nothing)
64. Are you closer to your mother or father?
mother.
65. Favorite feature(s) of the opposite sex?
the smile, the eyes, and the legs. Don't know, never really was an ass or boob person. Hey! i enjoy them for sure, they're just not my first targets.
66. Are you afraid of the dark?
Depends where i am. I don't mind the dark here in any of my rooms at UCLA but in my house it is kinda creepy. And outside? only when i start thinking about it.
67. Have you ever eaten paste?
Now why the hell would i do that?
68. Do you have a webcam?
yeah, i thought it was a genius idea to buy that instead of a scanner, i could still take pictures of text if i needed it and better yet, i can take actual pictures of 3d objects if i had to as well! That was a dumbass idea. Compounded when, a few months later, i get another one for free!
68. Have you ever stripped?
(Jenna.. your answer intrigues me)
But no. No one outside my immediate family has ever seen my wee-wee.
70. What are you looking forward to the most this week?
UCLA FOOTBALL SEASON OPENER THIS WEEKEND!! AHHH!!! *8-clap to myself*
HOLY crap that took longer than i expected. G'nite.
EDIT: WHY THE HELL ARE THEY CLEANING THE SIDEWALK WITH THE LOUD STEAMER AT 5AM!
(oh, because most normal people would be deep asleep by now)
EDIT #2: the greatest thing just happened. I pressed submit, closed the lid on my computer, grabbed my blanket and was getting ready to call it (a morning?) when i hear the fire alarm blaring from the bottom floor on it's way to the top. Seriously, right as i was going to bed. And this is at 5am in the morning. Seriously, it was like the best thing to happen to me all summer long. Because what? i lost 15 mins of sleep as opposed to being rudely awakened in the middle of a nice slumber and forced to stand outside half-asleep in the cold, like all the rest of the orientation kids were doing? hehehe. Okay, I also take pleasure in their pain. As my ex-marine collegue put it, "watch the smiling faces on their skinny bodies now. becuase by this time next year, it'll ALL be gone."
That, and i envy them. They could fantasize all they want about how great college life will be. I am burdened by experience.
It makes it worse that it's almost two quarters now and i still haven't learned how to play this game..
Anyways, not sleepy. I've been sleeping too much anyhow.
