One thing my laptop can't do

...is watch the videos on televisionwithoutpity.com. Which is a tragedy! Because TV is the Answer is one of my favorite things to watch online.

ARGH. I tried to post the video but the widget will only play a really terrible ad with a Rachel Bilson lookalike and then fail to play the actual video. You will have to click here

This video made me wonder ... when will the peak of MY looks be? What if RIGHT NOW is the peak of my looks and I don't know it?! I always intend to learn how to properly put on makeup but I never bother to. During breaks I think "ok, when I'm back in Berkeley, I'm going to put on eyeliner right after the gym and then wash it off when I shower, just so I can practice putting it on." But whenever I come back from the gym, I just sit in front of my computer and I'm much too tired to have to paint my face. So after many years, I still have never bothered to put it on and my left eyelid is always weird looking!

Connie L and I were talking about whether it's better to put on makeup every day and look awesome every day (my view) or to save the makeup for special occasions so you look spectacular on certain days but people don't begin to expect that from you (her view). I think, you never know when you might meet someone new. Even if you are just heading to class, maybe you should prepare yourself just in case! And not even if you are looking for someone to date. Maybe you want to look nice, so your friends can think "hey, I hang out with some pretty good looking people" or maybe your good looks will cause some stranger on the street to think "wow that person looks pretty awesome. My day has been bettered because I saw someone good looking!" These are both thoughts I have thought. Multiple times.

Over spring break, every meal I've eaten at home has consisted of the exact same foods. Asparagus, chicken, meatballs, and soup. I like all of the dishes and kind of hope I am eating it for lunch again. But each day I have had varying degrees of pain from canker sores, so each meal is quite a different experience. For instance, yesterday's meal was like "wow! I can chew this quite well! There's so much taste!" whereas Monday's meal was like "just swallow! Don't chew! Chewing is pain!" Today the canker sores on my tongue have left, but now there's a more painful one on my right cheek. So maybe I can eat with the left side of my face again.

So far for spring break, I have failed to rewrite my resume and cover letters, read my negotiations book, or even read for fun. But I HAVE: bought two new pairs of shoes, gone to the Long Beach Aquarium, knitted a half-finished yellow scarf, watched Slumdog Millionaire, played Drunk Poker, explored the shady side of LA at night, and spent hours looking at hot people on Facebook and our favorite hot celebrities. I proved to Eric that there ARE phenomenally hot Indian girls in the world and Frances L proved that Winona Ryder does look somewhat like Kiera Knightley. Success!

I thought this video was hilarious because it made me realize that a lot of people really DO just sit quietly in FUN PLACES just texting or playing with their iPhones! When we went to LA and were waiting for our food at the Thai restaurant, there were seven people including me. I was sitting in the middle. And on each side of me, the three people were just PLAYING WITH IPHONES. I seriously just SAT THERE QUIETLY while people were just PLAYING WITH THEIR GOD DAMN IPHONES. It drove me crazy.

And oh no! I've opened another bag of thin mints. *ominous music plays*

-------

I ATE SO MANY THIN MINTS WTF OMGGGGGGG. And I have to eat lunch in ten minutes! AND Danny just called and wants to eat lunch! NOOOOO. I could probably have eaten at home + out, but it is not possible for me to eat thin mints + at home + out. The thin mints are starting to hit! I am chewing my gum as fast as I can. DIGEST!!!

Also, I'm going to post the quotes in my aim info here. I wish I had kept a document of all the quotes I have ever put in my aim info because there have been some pretty good ones in my ten yearsish of using AIM

*while looking at bongs*
"these are HUGE"
"look at how many chambers there are!"
"that one is so small though"
"that one's a dildo"

alvin: we should just think of a word and make a joke out of it. like ... sriracha. let me think about this. oh ok. who was the hottest knight in king arthur's court?
table: i don't know
alvin: SRIRACHA!

danny: cats chase mice. but rats chase cats

eric: dinosaurs didn't really evolve
me: well, we only know the ones whose bones were left
alvin: you mean the ones who lost? there are probably a bunch of dinosaurs who escaped and are in space right now

*watching me knit*
mom: now i don't say this to discourage you. but you remind me of when i was younger and i tried to knit. i decided to give up. i don't think you'll finish that scarf either

mom: oh wow! your scarf is so long! are you going to make me one?
me: NO. you didn't believe in me
mom: i believe in you now!
