Learning to be clueless

Today was all about China. I woke up this morning, and immediately popped in "The idiot's guide to Chinese." It was just above useless. Apparently it doesn't work on the completely clueless. Anyway, I listened for like... 3 hours until I rushed through getting dressed and stuff before going to my doctor's appointment... which was for my second series of Japanese encephilitis (sp?) shots for China.

Then I went to my first Chinese lesson. It was a lesson in cluelessness. At least Chinese grammar is logical (unlike english, spanish and a few other languages.) The pronounciation killed me though. My teacher was a really nice lady named Fan. (She was cute too ::winks:: ) She's only been here a few months but is doing surprisingly well with her english. I know I'm going to come back from China completely unable to pronounce the letters "V, L and A" properly. But it's still a small price to pay.

Not much to say now. My last Final exam is monday and it's a matter of failing and not failing the class. ugh. I hate my Poli. Sci. teacher.

Also, Shpeeven's birthday present is finished, and should be delivered at some point tomorrow XD.

Cheers!

Jesus was a carpenter. I'm not Jesus. Observe:

Notice how straight the wall is in this picture.... Now look at the shelf I assembled at my Grandma's house last week. Notice the difference.

All right, I suppose you guys deserve the full story. As you  know, I'm going to China. And china costs money. So I'm taking up a variety of odd jobs in order to pay for the trip. So I was invited over to my Grandma's house to assemble the shelf. I had no idea how crappy the shelf was though. She apparently got the damn thing for practically nothing, and now I see why.

Now, I have assembled bookshelves before, but they have never come out looking like this. The instructions were not verbal. At all. There was no writing other than the brand name and the liscence agreement. Everything else was crappy diagrams and pictures that were so uninformative and convoluted that a physics major would get a migraine.

And that's not the worst part. The cardboard piece for the back.... you know... the important one that holds the entire shelf together?

It was crooked. It was physically impossible to get all four corners of the cardboard to touch all four corners of the shelf.

Anyway, in the end, we got that thing. ::shrug:: the reason Jesus was a carpenter is you have to be the son of God to figure this Shit out.

At least I have my Birthday Party tomorrow. 4pm. My house. W00t. Those of you who still need directions, contact either me or Will via email.

And now it's time for the joke.

Bill Clinton and the Pope die on the same day. Due to a mistake in the computer system, Bill went to heaven and the Pope went to hell. After a week, the mistake is cleared up. Bill and the Pope meet eachother  on the way inbetween  their destinations. The Pope is ecstatic that he's finally getting to see Heaven, and says so.

"What makes you so excited? what do you want to see?" Bill asks him.

"Well I really want to see the Virgin Mary." The Pope responds.

"Erm... You're about a week too late for that." Bill answers.

CHINA!!!!!

You know how I kept on saying that " I might, maybe be going to China sometime this summer?" Well, it's happening! I will be in China from July 23rd to August 20th.

Yes, I know this means I miss Otakon... So? Spending a month in China is sooooooo much cooler. And today was my birthday, which is awesome. I'm 17 now. I got two DDR games and a copy of Neverwinter nights as my present.

I went and saw "Thank you for smoking" on Friday with a whole lot of people. Most of which are probably reading this.

And I'm entirely too exxcited to continue writing. I'll post sometime later.

A typical teenage entry? maybe...

As usual when I'm bored and too tired for DDR, I find myself here, at my Xanga. Now I need to figure out what I want to say. I could go into a long rant about how my parents are the meanest people ever and just don't "get it." I could wallow in self pity, wondering why it is I don't have a girlfriend. I could complain about how terrible my life is and how nobody understands me. I could toss in random excerpts of depressing poetry, showing how dark, mysterious and angsty I am.

Or maybe I could *gasp* do something original! None of the typical teenagery things I mentioned above apply to me (Except the lack of girlfriend thing. I'm starting to wonder if I'm really that bad.....) XD Kidding. That door will open when it opens. There's no point in trying the handle every five minutes.

I've been reading some random Xangas recently and I really wish I hadn't. Of the two dozen I read, they all covered one or more of the above themes. (changing pronouns as needed from male to female in some cases.)

But it really dampened my faith in humanity. Are people really that unhappy with the lives they have? Is it really that bad?

Or should I be fearing for the future? Are geeks really the only hope for our generation?

Depressing sentences that rhyme don't make poetry. Stick figures in crayon aren't art. And for God's sake people, your is not the contraction of "you are."

However. I have come to the conclusion that complaining about them won't fix anything. It won't make them stop their nonsensical rambling. It won't purge untalented "art" from the net.

So I shall now use this site for it's original purpose. I will tell you about my day.

Today, I was awoken by my mother letting a few furry mammals into my room around nine. The dog and cat stood on my torso until I awoke, and got ready for work. I skipped breakfast because I'm not muych of a breakfast person and made it to work slightly late, but good enough.

And then I cleaned my aunt's house all day. I now smell like a cross between lysol, windex and "orange clean." I won't bore you with the details, but I got lunch, got paid and came home.

And here I am. How amazing is that?

I didn't think so. But I would now like to take a small amount of time to curse Will. He intentionally got the theme from "Katamari Damacy" stuck in my head. ::Glares at Will:: Because of him, I had weird dreams of random people I know prancing across a stage singing that song. They were animated. And there were too many neon colors. It made me think someone slipped something into my orange juice.

Oh, and I applied for a job at Border's yesterday. The questionairre was like three billion questions long though.

Spring break started for me yesterday. How happy... now that everyone else is back in school, I'm out of it. College annoys me sometimes.

Nothing else to report, so here's my joke.

A priest, a rapeist and a child molester all walk into a bar. And that was just the first guy.
