new goal in life

3:40

ok so i'm revising my new years resolutions . . . aznification, that pull up etc etc and so forth are all going down the toilet. 

i have a much more important project on my hands that needs to consume all my energy.  

sorry i've been negligent of my xanga duties.  i blame it on YOU for not leaving me messages to make me feel loved and think that people are actually reading this shit.  actually, i've left xanga for geekier and more elitest venues for online stalking . . . the dreaded facebook.  its this thing where you put up your picture and bio and wait for ivyleague losers to ask to be your friend.  really its a strange phenomenon that i'm not sure if i like or not cuz on the one hand at least you know it weeds out the super sketchy people who live in barns in montana cuz you can't sign up if you don't have an @superexpensiveprestegiousandeliteschool.edu email address. so the people allowed to stalk you are at least from your school or one of equal esteem.  the down fall is these people could be just as sketchy as that guy who lives in a barn in montana!  but seriously tho, its at least marginally cool cuz i got back in touch with some friends i haven't heard from in a long time who go to penn and cornell etc

anynow for your aznification update . . . i am proud to announce that since the chinatown bus has become my preffered mode of transport home to ny, I've become well acquainted with and now know my way around both chinatown NYC and Boston.  yaaaaaaay!  Good nite and have a pleasant tomorrow!

TGF-Beta, is that a new fraternity?? . . . . ^ - ^

i heart architects!  they really bring things into perspective.  what i'm trying to point out is not that architects don't know stuff, but most intelligent people out there that dont spend their lives swimming in biology jargon would probably come up with the same logical conclusion.  it goes to show that this shit really doesn't matter that much in the real world.  so don't get stressed out of your underpants if you didn't map out the TGF beta pathway in colered pens and highlighters for the 7.06 exam or if you can't write the code for blast in python for a bio class because nobody ever taught you python and its a FUCKIN bio class.  its not worth it.  its just not. . .

so i take it back.  i think i (or the insane number of candy grams i got today) proved myself wrong.  single people can have a good time on valentines day.  thanks to an amazingly yummy day outside, my hot  big sis who graced me with her presence on a hot date, the queen of chic flicks: love actually, seven candy grams, a crush can, the coolest valentines day card ever, and one multiply function pot i had a better valentines day with friends than i could possibly have had if i had a boyfriend to be disgustingly cute with 

and an update from the aznification front.  i'd like to give a shout out to louis my newest aznification warrior who helped me learn the intricate distinctions between the different manifestations of scallion pancakes. . . . . and tomorrow is the big day! csc banquet where i will be making a fool of myself onstage! wish  me luck!

aight yo !

first order of business : aznification update - so last saturday was a huge victory for aznification.  it all began when i went shopping with ji (one of our super hot baby phis) and bought an azn dress at guess.  it had one of those madarin collars and everything!  next i went to guyahamas for dinner where MORE THAN HALF of my pledge class (which is almost all not asian btw) showed up to eat yummy japanese food and discovered the oh phive punch slap! awwww yea.   and then it was on to the most azn activity i've taken part in yet: KAREOKE!!   thanks to jill and her azn ppl not only did i get to make a huge fool of myself and become a master of the triangle, i got to do it all azn style!!!  u know how most places that offer kareoke around here are either a restaurant or a bar with a little area to sing and look retarded?  well this wasn't one of them.  it was one of those rent a room with a pimped out couch and big screen tv where you can belt your lungs out in the privacy of you're closest group of friends places. . . i had never seen anything like it before, but i hear its all the rave in Asia.

ok now that thats taken care of, i've got some ranting to do.   about why exactly valentines day sucks.  this goes beyond the obvious reasons people! that its mainly a contrieved holiday created by a bunch of Hallmark conspirators that unfairly commercializes love yadda yadda. . .  

its worse than just that!  it brings out the worst in people.  really.   nauseatingly cute couples become more hideously lovey dovey even if you thought it couldn't be possible;  thus making the day so much worse for single people (as if they didn't have it hard enough already).  and inevitably they become bitter and begin to groan and moap.  even i (who most of you will agree am an upbeat person for the most part) found myself listening to angry girl music in anticipation for the dreaded v-day.

for a concluding remark, i would like to qoute Gloria Steinmen.  don't take it as a feminist manifesto, or a motto for single people against valentines day.  i think what its trying to say is not that you shouldn't be looking for a special someone  it simply points out that woman doesn't need man (nor should man need woman) to be happy or content.

a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle!
