I realize that I must always have a person on a pedestal. Looking back on my cogent life, ever since 8th grade, there's always been someone who I look up to, who I am scared to talk to because I am so eager and desperate to impress him (it's always been a him, mostly because at that point, I just didn't talk to boys (but I'm better now)). It's kind ( Read more... )

Clearing my facebook quotes page.

It's a collection that's pretty much spanned all of high school, and then the first year of college. But I think I'm different now, and certain things don't speak to me in the same way anymore. I've always had a quote fetish though, and these are quotes that yelled loudly at one point in my life. Even if others ( Read more... )

My GPA is going to suck this quarter. So much compared  to the last two quarters.

I definitely did too much slacking off in the middle, and even though I did pretty well on the two finals I had, it wasn't enough to bring one of them into the A range, and I worry about the one that hasn't been released yet. I was able to slack off fall and winter ( Read more... )

It was like this in high school, and it's like this now: I am fickle.

Back in high school (back in the days; oh I feel so old), fall season would have me majorly obsessing over band, because it was marching band season. Every time we came back from a competition, I walk back home with a satisfied overwhelming love of marching band, clarinet, and ( Read more... )

Every movie has a themesong-soundtrack-melody-Idon'tknowwhatit'scalled-thing. A reoccurring motif that sticks with it through thick and thin, through the good and the bad. A motif that can be played soulfully, whimsically, intensely, sorrowfully, across a wide range of emotion. It can be played in a hundred thousand different ways, but it's ( Read more... )

Looking back this year taught me a lot about talking to people. This year. I can't believe it's been that long. Time flies. Life zooms. Only a little more than 3 years of college left.

I'm not really sure if I changed. Or if it's just the college/dorm/IS environment. I think I got crazy-better at meeting people and being less awkward, though I still ( Read more... )

WongFu. They came. We raved (and I made a new WongFu stalking creeper buddy). They talked about stuff they were doing. They showed some of their new films. They talked some more about themselves personally. And then they left. And I obsessed some more. I love their stuff so much.

It's kind of a show-not-tell thing. Their awesomeness that is. I'll ( Read more... )

This weekend was the UC Davis Spring Open tournament. Thus, it was badminton filled. Thus, it made me think of badminton. A lot.

Tournaments like Davis Fall/Spring Open and CCS always make me really happy. Even if I get beaten by little girls who are my sister's age. It's just overwhelming to see the sheer amount of talent and love for badminton, ( Read more... )
