Ahnyung

I think I've decided to not do the blog thing anymore. I find my writings here trite and inane..and well I think it's just better if I keep my thoughts and words to myself and MacJournal (btw, a cool prog for macs).

That's all for now, maybe I'll be back if I have any earth-shattering news to share.

Too Much Stuff to Do

Nothing really to say, except I don't know why Sam is saying thanks all the time. (Weirdo). And who the hell is this Mikos dude? I'm just going to assume it's one of you being odd.

Anyways.

School sucks, I have 3 hite projects to do this semester, if I want to try for ucla. Two of those said projects are 7-10 page papers. Oof. Not to mention I have yet to get started on my personal statement and getting my transcript together. And I should be starting work in a week or two if things go right...so I'm officially going to have no life until November. (Yay).

Tomorrow should be interesting, but hopefully in a good way. I told this boy that I'd go out with him, pretty much after blowing him off for the past 3 weeks. (I know, I'm such a bitch.) But I mean...he doesn't speak much English. And I don't speak Thai. So I have no idea how this is going to go down. I mean he seems like a nice fellow...but considering how we don't communicate too well..even that might be a stretch.

Oh well. Wish me luck.

Back on the Westside, yo

New York was fun, my oppa and Aram were really nice to me, and I had a good time. I was a bahbo, though, and mixed up my departing flight time and so couldn't meet my cool cousin Jin. Sigh, I'm such a ditz.

Shopping in New York was fun, the no tax week was super cool. Throw in Labor Day sales, and you could get quite the bargain. I also bought a couple books at Strand, God I love that place. I could spend a week in there, among the huge piles and stacks of wonderful (and cheap) books. Actually it's probably good I didn't. I honestly think I could've gotten lost and die in there and not be found for several days. Ok, well, maybe a few hours.

I did enjoy New York, it's just so dirty and crowded...and the subways are even worse. Very smelly. But I love it anyways. I'd trade the manicured lawns and suburban strip malls of Santa Clarita in an instant for New York City. Ah well.

Avenue Q was awesome, I love the Met, and Central Park is beautifully surreal. In a way, the whole trip seems like a dream. I'm back in school, and everything is as it was.

And I hate it.

Being back in Santa Clarita means I'm back in the place where I'm at my unhappiest. I hate being back here, driving down the street, and being reminded of a certain someone that I can't quite seem to get over yet. I feel landlocked in this place where every building, every tree, and (almost) every person, is a piece of a life that I just want to leave.

Oh damn, that reminds me...college apps to do...Ick. But as they're my only permanent ticket out of here...I can't complain too much.

New York!

So I'm off to NYC soon, though extreme excitedness hasn't yet descended upon me. It will soon, though. I heart New York, and am determined to have a blast..though I don't think I'll join the protests, though. Just because it'd be super insane and such. But we'll see.

But I'm so excited to go to the Met and Guggenheim again...and hopefully lots of other art museums (God I'm such an art geek). Henry said we'd try to see Avenue Q, that would be super kickass as well. But other than musicals and museums and food, I don't really know what I'm going to do for the next week. I mean I've done all the touristy stuff...Oh well, I'm sure we'll think of something.

So this time around I'm deciding not to do the postcard thing, it's been done multiple times. And if any of you want something from NY..well, I'm po'. I just told Than I'd bring him back something..so unless you'll feel uber deprived and hurt and neglected..sorry but Liz is broke.

Well I guess I'll see you guys when I get back...I'll probably get online sometime during the week, but be sure to text my cellie lots, and remind me of how cool I am and how much you all miss me ^_^

Hard Day's Night

Boo for weird dreams. Especially when they wake me up at 3am and screw up my sleeping schedule, thus making me late for 8am bio lab.

Anyways. In three of my classes, we're currently discussing evolution, Darwin, stuff like that. Basically earth is very old (billions of years) and I've been thinking. What is the point of being alive? When you realize that the world is going to exist long, long, long after you've died, why do anything? People usually answer this with "to do good" (i.e. help others) or "to be happy". But to an athiestic (or is it agnostic?) cynic like myself, those aren't suitable answers. Doing good is simply a moralistic/religious dogma that doesn't translate into a realistic life goal. And happiness? Happiness is incredibly subjective and transitory; therefore a permanent, lasting state of contentment is unattainable. Not to mention that on the path to happiness, one inevitably causes and/or exacerbates another's suffering.

So I guess what I'm trying to ask is what is the point? Why go to college, get a job, have kids, and settle in the suburbs? Chances are, 99% of us won't really have a dramatic impact on the world. None of us are special, chosen, or favored by "God". People are simply deluding themselves with their own self-importance and supposed uniqueness.

I think that maybe I'll just have to settle for personal happiness as being the goal of my life. It is subjective, selfish, and transitory, but at this point in my life I really can't think of anything else. Since I only have 80 some years to go, I might as well live the way that gives me the most satisfaction.

I think I'll be a hobo.

G-E-E-T-A-R

Yesterday was a really chill day. Hung out with my oppa, Aram, and then met with a few of her college friends. Man, koreans are so crazy...I really need to find some cool Koreans to hang with. Y'know, connect with my bretheren..rediscover my roots..chill with my people...that sort of thing. Though I'm thinking that once I go to Cal or Ucla, that won't be a problem...I mean, those schools are asian central.

Anyways...yesterday, went to Manhattan Beach, lay out for a bit. That place is so chill...the weather's awesome and it's right on the beach and so pretty. We then went to Guitar Center and bought me an electric guitar..Ooh yeah! I'm gonna drive my family absolutely craaaazy...kickass!

So after guitar shopping, we go to The Grove and had some yummy jalapeno cornbread (doesn't sound appetizing, but it was sooo good) and tasty brazilian bbq. Then after The Grove went to Koffea, a cool tea place in k-town. Quite an experience. But I had some good yulmucha, while Aram discovered what boba was.

All in all, it was a very good day. But now I'm off to practice G and D chords some more. Meanwhile my fingertips are all tingly and pain-filled. But hey, no pain no gain..right?

Familiar Faces

Crazy and hectic week..damn 8am bio labs, long ass lines at the bookstore, and asshole drivers. Been running into some old friends at school, and it's nice, though sometimes strange. Couple days ago I ran into someone who was a good friend in h.s., but since then I've completely lost respect for them. Now I look at her and just...I can't even describe how much I don't like this person. But it's not really disdain so much as sadness/disappointment for them. Then again, who am I to judge? *Sighs*.

Yesterday was interesting, though. I ran into Sam. Or more like I totally walked past him and he said "Liz!" and I stood there for a good 5 seconds with a "who the f are you" look before i recognized him, lol. It was so cool, I haven't seen him for like a year. Sad how we don't hang out anymore, that should change.

I'm excited for this weekend, though...geetar shopping and Garden State *crosses fingers*...so that should be lots o' fun.

Alright well I'm out, I have an Oasis cd to rip. And I don't care that they're an old band, I shall love them forever.
