A favour Por Favor?

Listening to :: Love Will Find A Way - Lion King 2

So I have an exciting update for you. One of my closest friends in the world is in the running to get a scholarship of $20,000, and you can help her! She has made a fan page on facebook and all you have to do is fan it. Cool and easy right??

Why would you want to do this? First off, helping others is awesome. Secondly, Tiff is an amazing individual. She's an excellent musician, and gets amazing grades. She plays multiple instruments, including the flute and the marimba, and she does play beautifully. Her passion for music and for sharing music with others is inspiring. Even as a Drum Major, she helped others and was always the nicest person in the world. Third of all, all you have to do is fan a page and perhaps invite some friends to join as well.

If that's not enough, I've made a video for her page, and I'm willing to take challenges or other things in order to gain her some fans. If you don't care about me embarrassing myself, I will draw you something. I'm a decent artist, so if you and seven friends fan Tiff's page, I will draw/paint you something. The more fans you get, the better your art. Also, this is by comment request only. Ask me here, then tell me how many friends you got to fan her, and I'll start on your stuff!

Here are the links!!

Thank you so much!
Have A Heartwarming Day And Hug Somebody!

CHECK

Listening to:: The Olympics still :D

So this morning I woke up with a sickness. I knew it was coming, but it's still annoying. I only have a little bit of nyquil and dayquil left, so hopefully it'll last? Haha, at least the Nyquil...

Regardless of the cold/flu/whatever it is, yesterday was one of the most amazing days ever. I started the day off by picking up my bestie ANNE FRANK from the train station, and then we went back to my apartment to wait for my dad, and watched some AMAZING kitty videos. Kittens are way too cute. Seriously. Then, my dad and my sister came and picked us up and we went down to China town for Dim Sum. It was good, I spilled tea, we had lots of nom noms, and AF tried some chicken feet. :D
After we finished lunch, we walked around a bit, stopping to get some Hello Kitty merchandise shortly, before going to the Reading Terminal Market for ice cream. Now, the entire reason for this get together was to go to a David Choi concert, and who do we see getting his first philly cheesesteak? David Freaking Choi and Tallllll Talllll Peter! Well, my sister and AF saw him, then we ran over and I was awkward times infinity. So we talked briefly and took pictures, and we left them alone and we got ice cream.
Then we went back to my apartment, and we hung out, watched some puppy and bunny videos, and talked until we had to go catch the subway to get back to center city for the concert. It was okay, there weren't any really creepy people on the subway at that time. Then we walked about 11 blocks to the Tin Angel, and stood in line so that we could get good seats. The opening act was good, he was a korean boy in a local band, but he was just there with his guitar. He had a really amazing voice, very expressive. So then after a short break, David Choi got up onstage. He was simply amazing. He played a lot of songs and was very personable when he talked in between.
After the concert, we waited in line for a while, in which time I convinced my sister to talk instead of me. Talking just isn't my forte. So we had her go first, and we went one by one, and then we took silly group pictures with him. :D After we said bye to him, we went over to Peter and bought some shirts, and my sister took a ninja picture of him. It was pretty skilled. I tried to be skilled as well, but he caught on.
Then we left and walked the full 11-ish blocks back to broad where my dad picked us up. He dropped AF and me up at my apartment, and then he left, and AF and I ate ramen and did some internet-ing before sleepy time.
So yes, It was an awesome day, and I'm able to check meeting David Choi off my list of things to do. :D

Have A Glorious Day And Hug Somebody!

Makeup of the Day and an Update!

Listening to:: Commentators talk about Women's Speed Skating


It's been a while, and not much has happened. Well, other than the "snowpocolypse." I've been having good dreams lately, but unfortunately I have been unable to write them down for one reason or another each morning.
The Olympics started up last friday and I am hooked. I've always loved watching the figure skating, but I feel like I'm old enough now to appreciate more of it. I've recently gotten very into Ski Jumping and Speed Skating. So much so that I'd like to actually learn how to ski sometime in the near future. Ski jumping looks like so much fun, I just can't help it! lol
One fun little story I have for you is about a train ride. While it's not much of a story, it shows my obsessiveness and inability to correctly interact with people. So I was riding the train home when a boy sat in a seat in front of me, facing me. I was in one of the only seats facing forwards in the car, so I idly stared at people and I caught him staring back once or twice. I, of course, did nothing about it. That's partly because he looked younger than me, and while I'm not opposed to younger men, I'm 19 and that'd be cutting it close. So what do I do when he leaves? I say nothing and later go on to draw his picture. I'm such a stalker.
Today was Valentines day, as well as Lunar (Chinese) New Year, so my sister and I decided to make breakfast, dinner, and dessert for everyone. While our pancakes, bacon, and stir-fry turned out wonderful, our strawberry shortcake was insane. We made everything from scratch, and although it tasted good, it looked like we just dropped everything in a pile on the plate. Which is essentially what happened.
So for the Makeup of the Day! Today was Chinese New Year, and it ushered in the Year of the Tiger! The colours for this year were yellow and blue, so I decided that instead of taking a subtle route, I would just blatantly use the colours. Tell me what you think, and if you want to know the products, let me know and I'll tell you. :D

Have a Splendid Day and Hug Somebody!

:: A Quote To Leave You By ::
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."

And Now, Something Completely Different

Listening to :: I Won't Say (I'm In Love) from Hercules

"I love Muu. He's so cute and tall and nerdy. We shall get married and have extremely tall, European children. They will probably have dark hair but that's okay because I'll be the cute blonde trophy wife and our life will be like a fairy tale. A Disney version of a fairy tale of course, not a Grim Brothers fairy tale. I like pain, but not that much. I figure we'll either start out over coffee or beer on our first date. Or maybe spiked coffee. Either way, when I make eyes at him he'll blush and be shy, and of course fall for me immediately. We will then proceed to either date for a few more months and get married, or we will get very drunk, go on a spur of the moment car trip to Vegas and get married. Because we would consummate the wedding on the first night and I would get pregnant, we will not divorce. Not to mention his love for me. Either way, we will get married and it will be beautiful. Then, as soon as the children are old enough not to cry every time I leave the room, or enter it, we will go on a trip around the world and leave the children at home or ship them off to school. It will be beautiful and we will do the deed in every country we can. With us, we'll have a map of the earth and mark down all the places with a duck stamp. I hope to fill the world with ducks."

My friend and I were bored and I wrote this for her on her computer. She likes a man in one of her classes, so I thought I would feed the fire. It's what good friends do for one another. ((Oh, she and he are both 21+ so don't be mad for drinkingness in this! It's legal, even if it isn't true!)) I kind of wish I had written it in past tense, but this works well enough for what it was written for. Any comments, criticisms, suggestions or philosophies are welcome!

Have a Miraculous Day and Hug Somebody!

Let's Play a Game!

Listening to :: American Idiot by Greenday

The game we'll be playing to day is "How dumb are my roommates?!" In this game I will write a series of statements and situations, and it's up to you to pick out which are true, and which are false! Get ready, cuz here we go!

  1. "I sat for like a half hour trying to come up with a thesis statement so I sent it to a friend and he made one up for me" - Journalist Major
  2. "How was I supposed to know that Oriental is offensive?!"
  3. Doesn't know how to lock the doors when they're leaving
  4. "As long as I have LIVED my mother has never used a spray when baking brownies. I don't know why it's so hard to get out of the pan." 5 days after she made it, and left it covered only by a towel.
  5. Doesn't put soup away after eating for over 2 days.
  6. Can't afford to pay the bills, but wants to use the heater and the dish washer anyway.
  7. Can't see what's wrong in letting someone into your roommate's room to sleep. Without permission.
  8. Complains about dirty common area, and then does nothing about it.
Have you figured it out? Well, I suppose I'll tell you which is which as to not keep you in suspense. Out of all these statements, only one is false, and the rest are true. The one that is false is number three. Yes, that means everything else is true.

Throughout my college experience, three and a half semesters so far, I have had bad roommates. I thought it was really bad my freshman year, but as this year has progressed, I have learned that my original roommate was like an angel, and that I should have bonded with her more. Not that these two girls are bad people, they are just really dumb.

Now, this probably has to do with my problems with making friends. Ever since I was little, I had one or two close friends, and then I would make friends with their friends. Making friends on my own is really hard, and socializing is hard as well. Just more things that I need to work on. :D

Have a sun-shiney day and hug someone!
