UT is great. I think I'm having too much fun. Been here for a week and I've gone partying 3 times, 2 of which with alcohol. Went to Paradox last nite, and all I have to say for that club is wow, favourite one so far. Maybe it's because I couldn't really feel my limbs when I was dancing. I swear there was something else in that air besides smoke. Thanx so much to Nikki for saving me from weird random guys. I wish her, Marek and Mark can come down every weekend. Then I'd really not get anything done. I've hardly touched my homework...if I keep this up I'll flunk out of EE for sure. Gotta get my act together next wk!

Leaving town tomorrow. Somehow I imagined I'd be more excited about UT than I really am. I hate packing. So instead, I took quizzes. Wow, I never take quizzes.

Passion. Desire. Courage. Lust.
Take the quiz.

Which Disney Princess are you?

Haha, thus JaneLand I suppose.

Went swimming in Ethan's pool today. There's this mini waterfall that comes from the hottub (hotub?), wow so cool. Makes me wish I had one. Can't believe this is the FIRST time I went swimming all summer! Actually we talked more than we swam, alot to catch up on since it's been 2 yrs and he's leaving for A&M (blech) tomorrow. I love hottubs. The only thing that could be cooler would be sitting in a hottub during the winter. Then it would be cold outside and hot in the water. There goes my simutaneous hot/cold fetish again. I watered a corner of his yard with a water pistol and accidently shot him in the eye. So sorry. I miss water fights. Ever had the strange desire to be 9 again? I used to love playing tag and climbing trees. Now people just laugh at me when I wanna do those things. Jeez, all you guys grow up too fast.I wanna be a kid forever.

I can't seem to wake up. Got home at 4am last night from a GREAT night. Ate together one last time at Pappadeaux with Jes and Moni. Mmmmm calamari and butterfly shrimps. Fried seafood is great. This is the last time that the "3 musketeers" will be able to have dinner together. Until X-mas that is, if we all survive the college experience. Monica harassed the waiter and stared him down but left a nice big tip afterwards. Typical of her, haha. At least he was less flaming than the Osaka one who kept on flirting and introducing his "boys" to us. Around their closing time, we left and drove over to Chipotle to visit Ethan. They were locked up but I banged (actually politly knocked and Jes banged) on the glass. And wow, a year and a half of not seeing a person really makes a difference. I think he got taller, like hugging was difficult. Anyways, then we drove around and I played a fustrating game of phone tag with Steph Richard and Will. We were trying to figure out a way for me to get to Encore Karaoke...too bad my phone ran out halfway through. Got lost on the way there too. I blame it on Will cus we all know about my impeccable sense of direction. Cus you know, Denton is EAST of Plano. Good thing Richard came to get us at Morning Glory, that was very nice of him. Did you know there's also an Encore exotic dancewear and lingerie? Teehee, well time flies when I sing, cus before I knew it, it was 3.30am. Felt like barely an hour. I hogged the mike as always but I didn't even lose my voice this time! Sang Britney Spears, rapped Puffy, even screamed Chop Suey and Limp Bizket. What can I say, I'm eclectic and random. I think Will was passing out on his drive back...loss of blood 2 days ago kind've does that to a person. Thanx so much for coming with me though, I really appreciate it =)

OMG, according to the deathclock, I die on Sunday, December 9th, 2085. How morbid. Well, at least I'll be over 100! www.deathclock.com

Watched Serendipity with Moni, wow it was a cute unlikely movie. Sorry P, Tina, Steph, etc. for ditching you guys last night. I really didn't have enough money and it's just weird for everyone to pitch in and help me out. Btw, Tina I'm still in love with that Track 2 song. Did you ever figure out what it's called?
PS. thanx alot to Daniel Uribe for lending me his LCD monitor for a semester. I love it!

Slept in until 2pm today. Makes up for my being awake 18hrs yesterday. Will came to visit and bought me hot coco from JavaCha around midnight, even though i specifically asked for COLD hot coco. What's a girl gotta do to have a chilled noncaffinated drink nowadays? I spent all of today lounging around and watching Liu Xing Hua Yuen(for you unprivileged ppl...thats MeteorGarden). Apparently that series isn't allowed to be aired in China cus it has a corrupting effect on adolescents. Scary cus I think it's one of the most PG-13 conservative moving pictures I've ever seen. Like when they kiss their lips barely touch and they just hold still for 3 seconds. No tongue, sucking, noises, passion. I wonder how one of those kids would fare over here with our NC-17s, Cosmo and Brad Pitt's butt in Meet Joe Black.

Daniel bribed me into waking up at an insane time (10.30) to take a trek around downtown and check out the Dallas Art Museum. We looked like a bunch of tourists missing the "I heart Dallas" tshirts. I'm still groggy, I think I got like 5 hrs of sleep. Inappropriate! So Jes drives me Moni and Jen to the dart rail station and meet up with Liz Nien Daniel Eddie MeiMi and Erika. 30 min into the museum Nien decides he's hungry so we walk all the way back to the dart area and find food. Jes tries to unsuccessfully piggy-back me, but it turns out I tend to strangle her when I get on. On the way back we sang Moulin Rouge and Aladdin songs on the rail and probably scared alot of old people. By old I mean working adults. Then some mango snow from Lollicup and here I am sitting at home making more earrings. I think I'm addicted. O yea and Daniel you still owe me Starbucks.

Life is random. Steph calls me up right as I was about to finish lunch and asks if she can drive all the way from Richardson to North Plano to pick me up so that her mom will make food for her (they own a restaurant). Of course I say yes, we go, she enjoys not starving and I enjoy a 2nd lunch. I swear, Richard Steph and Pris are conspiring to conn me into eating two of every meal. They've already succeeded in dinner and lunch...not that I'm especially hard to tempt. Just put food in front of me, make some smalltalk and I'll gradually start picking up the chopsticks. Then everyone laughs and points but whatever, I have food. Anyways, during our smalltalk we decided it would be kind of cool if we make our own clothes. Cus I have this hopeless dream of becoming a designer someday and what can be cooler than someone asking you "where'd you get that?" with the reply "oh, I made it myself". So after walking around ValleyView mall a few hours and not finding suitable earrings (for me), we decide to run to a local art store. They didn't carry cloth but I bought beads and metal wiring to make my own earrings. 10 seconds of torrent rain and two Walmarts later, we find cloth. And not just any cloth, but fuzzy pajama cloth! I got a "Simplistic" instructions thingy which turned out to not be so simple and we spent the entire evening figuring out how to use the sewing machine. It helped that Jes came over too. So in the end Steph semi-successfully went home with her pj pant tied to her waist and I have a very nicely constructed left leg. I'll work on the right leg some other time. Until then, I have 3 unstuffed pillow cases made from scraps that I'm taking up to UT and GORGEOUS turquoise earrings of my own design to comfort me.

Just woke up officially. It's 1.45pm. I blame it on the FOUR phone calls at odd hours this morning (ranging from 9-12). I was at B&N last night chilling with Nien. We spent a good hour looking through art books and "Dating for Dummies". I think Nien catagorized himself as the seductive flirter. Uh o girls watch out! Those eyes that look at you like you're naked (That's actually what the book said). I think I'm more of a loud joke cracking corney flirter. Anyhow, I ended up buying a How to Draw Portraits thing, cus I've picked up my TAMS-suppressed artsy fartsy side again. Plus not having a car around during daylight hours kind of puts alot of time on my hands. I feel like one of those old ladies who learn embroidery and ballroom dancing when they're 90. Wow I had to go look up "embroidery", I feel like a fob. Speaking of fobs, Will sounds like one. I'm sure I did too when I just came back from China. The chinese tongue just isn't (wasn't?) made to form english tenses correctly. And I hate the feeling you get when you just can't spit out a word you want to use. It's on the tip of your tongue and you know like one syllable of it but it just won't come out whole. Like the one that always trips me over: ka...sha...uh....charismatic! I feel the pain of those chinese people. Actually I think I have it worse cus since I've gotten back, I have stumbled over both Mandarin and English. You know how Mandarin has like 4 tones? Like "gui" can mean ghost, turtle, strange, and expensive depending on how you stress or tilt the sound. I always seem to pick the wrong one and my entire sentence is reduced to senseless crap. I can tell my relatives are shaking their heads on the inside thinking "these americanized kids...". This trying to be bilingual thing really takes its toll when you don't have a firm grasp on either.

So...this is what html looks like. Looks difficult. All I see are random letters and numbers and slashes. Thank GOD Pris is volunteering to undertake this. LOVE YOU! Best of luck to her at J to the H-O this fall. Neuroscience BAH, clearly EE is a much more desired major. Although I did take Neuroscience as an elective last year and I absolutely loved that class. I'm not bitter at all. I'm so looking forward to future years at UT doing lots of circuit analysis and math and physics. Haha, I'm really not so cynical. Can't wait til I move in on the 24th, with no RAs on my back, no visitation hours, and being allowed to go outside and breathe the fresh air when I choose...after 11pm on weekdays and 1am on weekends! FREEEEDOM (braveheart) is that which is not TAMS. Even if it might be 10th floor Jester East.
