01/28/01 2:16AM - Today is the superbowl, and I'll be at the library working on a psychology project while it's on. =( Go fig. Just my luck. Oh well, It's not like I really knew who was even playing. As a matter of fact, i had even thought the Superbowl had already passed. Hahaha. I'm SO not a sports buff.
Cherlyn's B-day is right around the corner, and a few freinds went downtown to celebrate. We had dinner at Royal Thai Cuisine (off G, between 5th and Market). Let me tell you, that place rocks! Their food is excellent, service is great, and they make the most kick ass drinks!!! I've never been buzzed from one drink before, amd tonight was a first. I highly recommend the Royal Thai Martini =).
Cherlyn and I went to the E Street Alley afterwards to go dancing. I'm one cruel, mean, heartless bitch when it comes to dancing/clubbing. I am just there to dance and have fun; not to pick up guys. So the chances of me agreeing to dance with a guy are slim to none. I admit, the guys at this bar were more gentlemanly then from Plan B, (or any other club I've been to for that matter), but I wasn't in the mood to hook up - I just wanted to dance. Cherlyn was a bit "disappointed in me." It turns out the last fellow who asked us to dance was rather cute, and I shot him down. I'm evil, I'm a bitch, I know it- so guys beware. I'm sorry about the last fellow though. He was cute, and he did ask nicely and politely. I suppose I could have granted him a dance, but I was in my own little world then. Cherlyn wants to make this a regular thing now. Perhaps we'll see him again ... If all the guys don't think I'm a lesbian now that I wouldn't dance with any of them! =P
Yesterday I went to Old Town with my sister. We met a few of her freinds at Casa De Bandini's and went for gelato afterwards. Casa De Bandini's does not accept reservations, so usually some poor sap has to show up 1 hour ahead of time to put their name on the list - and then the whole party has to show before they will even seat you. it's THAT busy. Anyway - I was reading this artice on Asian Avenue about meeting people online. It's something that I've done on occasion, and only in public areas, after getting to know a person and feeling safe with a person (I pride myself on being a good judge of character), and it remonded me of a sad story. My sister and I were nominated as the "poor saps." As we were waiting for our party to show up, some random guy came up to us and asked us, "Excuse me, are any one of you named Venus?" My sister was like, "What was that all about?" To which I replied," I dunno, probably some poor guy trying to hook up with someone from the internet." We both laughed. I know. I'm cruel. As for the guy, he waited a while until some waiter approached him - and then he disappeared with the waiter. I'm not sure if "Venus" ever showed up, or if the waiter gave him a message, or if he got fed up waiting (because he was there for a LOOONG time), but I wish him the best of luck. Not that I've had any experience, but it sucks to be stood up.
I'm still thinking about my little adventure on the dance floors tonight. Perhaps I'm too uptight and I should let other guys dance with me. Maybe I'm just THAT picky, and I have to stop being so mean. Then again, a girl's got to have standards. Damn... I shouldn't have let that last one go though. Oh well. At least I know I still have the touch, and at least I know I looked HOT tonight! =P Oh yeah!

I REALLY like these songs from Ludicrous and Jay-z. I can't seem to get them out of my head. Every time they come on the radio, I can't help but sing along. They're just so catchy! Eventually they will be over-played, and then I will get very sick of these songs. In the meantime, I am content to listen to them over, and over, and to sing along with the tunes.
01-25-01 1:30 PM - Once again, I'm sweaty, smelly girl who has just emerged from kickboxing. I'm also VERY hungry! I'm always eating. I can say that I'm a very healty, growing girl, with a healthy appetite. But let's just cut the crap and face the truth, I'm a pig, and I love to eat! =) What am I going to eat for lunch? I don't know, but I've got this monster craving for pizza!
I feel like a flake, but I think I'm going to have to quit my Aikido class. My back is not agreeing with me when I do my falls and my rolls. I wonder if I can get a refund back???
01-22-01 10:23PM - What to write, what to write? Nothing really new is happening...again. It's so sad to reflect upon everything I've written, only to realize that my life is composedof mudane rituals. No wonder I haven't hooked up with anyone! Everyone has their share od dillemas, and I'm no exception to the rule. We all just have to trudge though them, somehow - and learn the lessons of our experiences. I've been writing again. Nothing "WOW!," or anything like that. Just little things. You can see the latest bits in my Prose and Poetry sections. I think that's about it. Everything else is just school, school, school. Blah. It's strange. On one hand, I can't wait for school to finish because i'm just so sick of school. Yet, I'm also afraid to finish school, because I'm afriad to grow up. What will the real world be like? I hope that it isn't as cruel and cold as others say, but a kinder gentler place. Yeah right!
01-20-01 6:20PM - I was REALLY sick yesterday. So sick I threw up at work and went home early. I was really nauseus and I don't even know why. Go fig. I worked my new daytime shift in my new section. The people I work with seem very nice. I think it just takes a while to get used to new people and to bond with everyone. Next week is Cherlyn's birthday. I think we're going clubbing! Woo hoo! PARTY!!!
01-18-01 8:18PM - My sorry ass got worked today in both Aikido and Kickboxing! Everything hurts and bones keep cracking.
01-18-01 1:26PM - I am REALLY gross and REALLY sweaty, and REALLY sore. I just finished my first kickboxing class and I'm an totally tired and totally sweaty..ugh.. I would be rushing off to the showers, but I will be having my Aikido class in a few more hours, so I thought I'd be nice and conserve the water. This is afterall Southern California, and we're always having a drought. I know I will be even more sore later today after my Aikido class. I am just a glutton for punishment, aren't I?
Good news! My friend Damon has a web gallery up! If you've got a chance , you really should stop by. He's from the East coast, and is looking for a West Coast gallery to showcase his works. So if you know anyone who has connections, or the means to display his works get in touch with him! I must actually get to doing some reading now, so alas, I must log off! Tomorrow is my last evening shift at GEICO. I'm going to have to start looking for a new job soon.
01-17-01 5:47PM - I have this nasty habit of writing too much at times. That's what happened yesterday. I was updating my little journal entry when my screen started to go crazy because I ran out of room for text. Go fig. I didn't really feel like doing a continued journal entry, so I thought I'd save you some news for today. Wasn't that considerate of me? Besides I need to have something to keep me busy during rush hour. I'd rather be here typing, than in my car fighting traffic.
Before I went to my Aikido class yesterday, I ran into Lan and Robbie (amazingly enough, I DO have freinds, and I have some sort of a socail life - regardless of how pathetically puny it really is). I was telling Robbie about my kickboxing class woes, when he pulled out The Guardian (UCSD's offical newsletter) which had an ad placed in it for the free kickboxing class I had mentioned. I was livid!!! Either I've been lied to, or someone REALLY screwed up. So I race to RIMAC after Aikido to find out what's going on, with my little newsleeter in my hand. Nobody knew a damn thing about the class, but the nice girl behind the counter offered to take my name and number down and get in touch with me after she talked to her boss.
Today I received an e-mail from the Recreation Administration and they forwarded it to someone else higher up on the totem pole. Just about 1 hour ago, I received a voicemail from UCSD recreation stating that indeed there was a free kickboxing class, and that I didn't have to register - I only had to show up. I'm totally stoked now! I'll totally be able to kick ass after this! (I'll be sore, but it'll all be worth it... That's what I keep telling myself at least.)
This morning I was such a retard. Now I have my "moments," but mine are few and far between. So when I admit to doing something really stupid, you ought to really relish the moment. I woke up this morning at 7:30AM sensing I had to do something. I figured it was still early in the day and rolled back into bed until about 8-ish and at that point I got up and started reading some psychology journals for an assignment. At about 9:30AM, I realized what it was I had to do. I was supposed to be at work. Doi! I recently switched my work schedule so that I would work Wed mornings (8:30AM-1PM) , and I'll be switching to morning hours on Fri and Sat too (but I don't know what my hours are yet). I completely forgot and didn't really feel like going into work (especially since I was already so late)- so I played "hookie" and called in sick. Hehe. I'm so naghty. I feel like such a dork though! How could I forget to work? I only hope that nobody from work is reading this. Oh well, I'm planning on looking for another job anyway, and besides - I've yet to call in a sick day since I started working there. One can't hurt. =)
A few final thoughts. I walk around UCSD and see so many girls all dressed up, and looking cute in their cute outfits. I look so dowdy in comparison to some of these chicks. If I were a guy, I'd be all over them. I'd like to dress up and look cute, but frankly, that's just too much work for me! I like my sleep, and I'm not about to lose precious minutes of my sleep so I can look hot and impress the guys on campus. Besides, if I want a guy to approach me - I want him to appraoch me for my charm and my personality, not because of my cute outfit.
The last thing I wanted to mention was this CA, power shortage. Apparently we've been having this power crisis for quite some time now. One time it really hit hard was when I was studying for finals last quarter. I was so pissed! The lights went out when I was trying to pull an all-nighter. So much for that plan. Grrr.. So now they're saying that there will be a "rolling balck out." Basically they're just arbitrarily shutting the power off. I'm getting the flashlights ready! I've got to read tonight! Damn our de-regulation bill! It's what basically started all this, adn the electric comanies are "raping" us with their crazy prices. Grrr...
