I should really be studying right now and I am. I'm just taking a break. I just got back from the library with my Spanish study group. It was a lot fun. We didn't get too much done because we all were talking about everything.

Oh, one of my friends found new pictures of Take 5. The pictures were taken recently. I guess I can add them. I forgot the links to where I got them so don't sue me if they're copyrighted. TJ got engaged so that's why the guys got together. The only person that was missing was Ryan. Anyway, they updated on what the guys are up to now. Clay and Ryan are going to school in California. TJ is playing in a band and getting married I guess. Tilky is a lifeguard and doing some drumming for a band. Stevie (or Steve) is doing some stuff with music.

I seriously have to say that Clay and TJ are the only two than look normal. Well, Clay is the only normal looking one. I don't know what Ryan looks like so I can't say anything about him. Maybe because Clay is in college and educated. I'm sorry, as I much as I love Take 5, I don't really like the way they are now. Clay is probably the only one. TJ is ok. But Tilky and Stevie are really unattractively gross. For the look of the pictures, Stevie and Tilky were drunk off their asses. Stevie obviously smoke and that's the most disgusting thing he can ever do. Tilky's hair is all curly and long to the point of destruction. How can he be a lifeguard with Jacob Underwood's hair? If I were drowning, I wouldn't want him to save me with that hair. GROSS. Yeah, I still think their faces look good but everything else fell down hill. I looked at the pictures and I was freaked out. How many different way and you say gross anyway? But I hope they will still sing and stuff because they have good voices. However, I don't feel like I would ever be attracted to them anymore. Plus I had crushes on them five years ago. It's so sick. I can't even think about it. ICK!

I should get back to studying. I'll put up a new layout soon.

That's it. Meesin checking out.

I've been watching American Idol for the past couple of days. It was so funny because they were all audition episodes. Some of those people were really weird. Some of them were good. I haven't heard anyone that impress my much.

I made dinner tonight. Well, Jon help a lot. I made some fried rice. It wasn't very good. Matt and Shannon came over to eat with us and we ended up playing Rook. I was going to take pictures but I forgot. We only played one game. Matt and Shannon won in about four hands. It was so quick. The rules they play here are different from the one I played back him. I forgot a whole bunch already.

Today is Mulan's birthday. I can't believe she's four. She's still such a puppy. My mom said she got her a cake, a party hat, a dress, and presents. So weird.

I don't when I'll update again. I have three tests next week. But I'll try to update.

That's it. Meesin checking out.

I haven't written in ten days. I went home this past weekend so that's why. It was my granny's 80th birthday. It was great. Jonathan went with me too. I got to see most of our family members I haven't seen in a long. It's like a second family reunion or something. I saw my sister and her husband. She's six months along with the pregnancy now. The baby's name is Nathan. Anyway, that night, we all went back to our house and played Rook. We had several games going on for a tournament. There were nearly twenty people there. It was a lot of fun. I got partnered up with my brother while Jon got partnered with Granny again. She has always been his partner and they won the whole thing. After that, we played poker. I won! Actually, I was the only one who didn't go bankrupt and ended up with the most chips. We just played for chips.

Right now, I should be in bed but I'm watching, City Of Angels. This movie just makes me believe in things that are impossible. It makes me cry. Next to The Notebook, it is such a soul inspiring film. I might do a music video on that.

I've been working with school too. My Humanistic Psych class is interesting. We had to analyze the fairy tale, Hansel and Gretal. The professor actually read us the story in class. It's kinda weird and interesting. I also read Charlotte Temple for my Women's Studies class. It so depressing. It's a good book about unfortunate character. They should really make a movie about it. I'm working on The Coquette for that class right now but I haven't finish yet. I read Lysistrata play for my Intro to Drama class too. It's so pervertive. It's about women in ancient Greece who tried to stop war by stop having sex with their husbands. At one point, everyone in the play were naked and horny and talked about their erections and stuff. Very situational and slapstick.

Anyway, I have to go to sleep. I'm pretty tired.

Hi. I'm sure all of you are not surprise that I'm going to talk about Napoleon Dynamite. It's such a funny movie. I saw it for the seventh time last night. We had a Napoleon Dynamite and The Big Lebowski party last night. We all went to Josh's to watch the movies last night. It was great. I will posting pictures from that event soon.

I don't really have much to write because much haven't happen. I can tell you right now that I'm pretty pissed about that accident I had a month ago with my car. I'm not gonna tell you why but I'm mad about it.

I forgot to watch the tsunamis telethon last night because we were at Josh's but I hope everything went great and people donated great amount of money.

I really miss my dogs and my family. I will being going home next weekend so don't expect any update on the site at all.

That's it. Meesin checking out.

I got back the other day to campus. Jon stopped by at my house and we both decided to stay over at my parents' house before we leave. We all ended up watching Napoleon Dynamite, King Arthur, and Troy that night. It was exhausting watching hours of movies but they were all great.

We got back to school on Monday so we didn't do too much. I moved back in my stuff while my other old roomies were moving out. Now it's just me and Jess. It's been really fun and we have plenty of room for stuff and people and everything. Jon wasn't so lucky. He got a new roommate. His roommate is okay and everything but just the fact that he didn't know about it, he was not too happy about that.

It was the first day of class today. I guess it was okay but in my Women's Studies class, I have about 8 reading books I have to get. It's going cost me a lot of money to get books. I couldn't find any used ones either, I'm really stuck.

I found out that my Child Psychology class got cancelled so I just signed up for Abnormal Psychology instead. So now I have that class with another psych class. I just realize that I have two English classes. This is really sucking. I have Women's Studies in lit and Intro to Drama. How is this going to effect my life in general? Then I'm taking a Spanish class too. They are all hard working class. I'm going to puke right now.

We went to eat at Chili's the other day. I don't know if it's just me being weird but I was the only girl there with guys. I like the guys and everything but I don't really like being the only girl. I don't know why but I just don't. And I'm also not a fan of Chili's. I don't like sandwiches or fajitas or all that mess.

Speaking of which, Jon made dinner for us tonight, AGAIN! He's the sweetest man in the world. He would do anything for those that he love. I would do anything for him too...except maybe dishes. I'm just kidding. Anyway, Josh, Jess and Kristin ate with us. It was great. We watched Napoleon Dynamite again. It's such a funny, quotable movie. I think if Andrew and Jessie dress up like Napoleon and Deb for Halloween, they would look really cool. Jon and I can be Kip and La Fawnduh or something. Josh can be uncle Rico! Kristin can maybe be Summer or Trish or something. Who would be Pedro? It's just really funny. Jon's been going around saying, "Tina, you fat lard, come get some dinner!" My favorite is the "Sledgehammer" bike thing. I pretty much like everything. The dancing part was really funny too.

Anyway, I've been thinking about how the world's weather is going crazy. First, there was that hurricanes in Floriday, then the tsunamis, then the mudslide in California. Seriously, it's been really warm here for January. Last year and two years ago, it was snowing. I'm really afraid that the world can't take things. I hope we all can help it be better.

I'm also pretty ticked off about people being so selfish. I'm talking to my parents about donating money to the tsunamis victims and I might try to do something here at school. The only thing is, kids even my age are so wrap up in themselves. I haven't heard anyone talking about the tragedies. There is the point where you don't wanna bum people out but discussing is not a bad thing. Many people know I'm from one of those countries but probably three MAYBE four people asked me about family or what not there. I know more people than that but they're too wrapped up about the whole, "What did you get for Christmas deal?" than the tsunamis thing. It pisses me off. No one cares. It's like when 9/11 happened. Kids just don't care. We're the future of a happy, healthy world and all we can talk about is cell phones and computer. No one talk about what kind of difference we can make. I'd like to talk about it but it's really hard. I can tell you right now that I want to impact the world in a very positive way. I don't just wanna make $60,000 right out of college. I want to be able to do something that might get me the Nobel Prize or something. Something remarkble and help people of the world. I have never really meet people that say they want to make a differencce for the world. I wish there would be more people that strive to make a difference or at least talk about it to let people know that you care. At this rate, we're crappy of a future.

That's it. Meesin checking out.

I've been running around so much today!

Let me start from the beginning. I had to get up around 8am in order to take my dog, Ling Ling, to a dog's grooming place. She had to be there by nine. So, I got that out of the way.

Then I had to get dressed up all professional to go meet with an manager of an employees assistance program. I was hoping to get an internship there but it turned out that I had to have at least a B.A or B.S. before I can do something like that. But he gave me great insight on what they do there and what I need to do to get somewhere like that.

So, after that, I went to Wal-Mart. Did I see it was raining like crazy? It was so heavy and cold! But anyway, I went Wal-Mart to pick up a cookie cake for the ladies at work. I quit a couple of days ago because I have to go back to school but I went back to pick up my check and bring them the sweets. It was so embarassing at Wal-Mart when I forgot one of the bags and had to go back there to get it. I also saw a high school friend there. I always see someone from high school, especially at Wal-Mart

Then, my dad called me tell me to go meet some doctors but I couldn't find their offices! It turned out that they close on Fridays so that was a waste driving in the rain.

When I got home, I watched Napoleon Dynamite with commentary and fell asleep. My other dog, Mulan, was so lonely because Ling Ling was gone. Then I had to go pick up Ling Ling at the dog's place. When I got her, they practically shaved her! The only hair left were on her ears and tail. She's all naked looking.

Now, I just got through watching Shrek with my parents. I'm such a kid.

I was just thinking about the tsunamis incident again. It makes me sick when I see those damn rich celebrities strut off their rich crap. I HATE it. I know many celebrities have donated money and volunteered to help but what about the other REALLY rich ones? Where is Oprah or Bill Gates or the Hiltons? Those people have enough money to wipe their asses every time they use the bathroom but I don't see any of them helping. I haven't heard any young, rich entertainers do anything except Scarlett Johanssen. Everyone else suck. I wish the celebrities that I like would do something. The only people that I like that did something is Linkin Park. I hope more on my list will do something. I'm about to boycott celebrities. America care too much about them but what about the poor. It made me ever more disgusted when I heard about these silly gift baskets for award presenters at the Golden Globe get hundreds or thousands of dollars just stepping in front of the TV to give and award to some actor. It's crap. Spend that money on the poor that actually NEED IT! If I were a celebrity, I would sell the basket off and donate ALL the money to the tsunamis victims. Celebrities SUCK.

This is my first entry of 2005. Many things happened the last time I wrote.

Christmas was great. I got many things I wanted.

I got an external harddrive for my laptop.
Jump Drive
Now 17 CD
Napolean Dynamite DVD & poster
The Da Vinci Code book
Clothes
PS1 Video Game
Mr. Winkle 2005 calendar

I think I got more than that but I can't remember. Those things really are essential for a college student (not really). But what are you gonna do?

I had a great Christmas I'll tell you that much. The only thing that went bad was the tsunamis in Asia. I visit many personal sites and NO ONE seem to talk about it. Young people don't reallly give a crap. It makes me so sad that we are the future of the world and yet, all we talked about is celebrities and music on our sites. I for once care about the rest of the world. Everyone matters.

Speaking of talking about celebrities, I know that I like celebrities but I don't understand what the big deal is. I was talking to Jessie and Keith about celebrities and such. Jessie brought up and awesome point that I never thought before. She said the celebrities are just like any human beings. They are NOT special and going out of your way to meet them is absurd. I think it's absolutely true. I happen to really like Ryan Gosling but I'm not going to fly out to California where he lives to try ot meet him. What is the point of that? To brag to others, "I met Ryan Gosling!"? How is that significant? I guess it makes other people happy. Keith agreed with me too. We used to be obsessed with the idea and we both know that if we go to concert or a place where a celeb that we like is there, we would like to meet them. It's just we're so grown now that meeting celebrities is so second rate. I know people that go to concerts but everyone I know don't really care who you meet. I feel like we're grown up enough to know that people are people and trying to meet them or worshiping them because they have a celebrity status is a sign of insecurity. People like that yet to have other things that fulfill their purpose in life and meeting celebs bring them closer to whatever are missing. I do run a website containing my favorite celebs and it would be fun to meet them but it's not on the top of my life. I'm a fan, not a groupie.

And I don't really like to buy music and stuff. I do buy music and I hate to. It is because artists make me sick. They are so rich out of their butt and still, they are suing people for downloading free music. Who cares? They made enough money to last a lifetime from their first album but they're too DAMN stupid to spend it all on one thing at one time and they complain about not having income if people download free music. It's a load of shit. If they spend their $20 million the way normal people do, they would have enough money to feed everyone in their family and more for the rest of that generation. I have more to explain but I'm gonna stop there.

New year was okay. I fell asleep around 11pm. My mom had to wake me up to watch the balldrop. My life is so boring. I don't really do anything. I don't really care. I spent a whole year partying my ass off a couple of years back and that's enough for me. If you knew what I went through, you'd quit clubbing, parties, drinking, and men all together. But I managed to survive. I'm all fine now. I only go clubbing when it's the last thing to do. I don't go to parties. I drink some. And I only have one man that makes me happy.

I read the most amazing book! I read The Da Vinci code these past of a couple of days and the story got ahold of me. That book kept me on the edge of my seat. It's almost like National Treasure the movie except that it's taken place in Europe. The characters find clues in the arts, mostly Leonardo Da Vinci's work about the most precious treasure in the religious history. You just have to read to to find out or wait for the movie in 2006 starring Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon. It's going to be directed by Ron Howard so you know it's going to be great.
