i know up on top you are seeing great sights, but down at the bottom we, too, should have rights.

About Me

this is me in 2006:
usc grad school student
i got sucked into facebook to stay "with it"
but i don't use my real name
most of the dudes i hung out with have flown the coop
who knows where they've gone
life has been school, sleep, and working at usc
i still double flush
i still do the accent thing
i actually did get an ipod
i still sing in my car at the top of my lungs
i smoke more frequently now
i quit my day job to be a full time student
thank god. it was perfect timing since the mortgage industry is going to shit
i've been wearing a lot of green lately. but i still loveya blue.
grad school is a trip
i just want to be done so i can get the job of my dreams:
helping out students be the bestest they can be
damn that was so pollyanna and shit
in the past three years i've realized how not cool i am for this city sometimes
its simply more fun to cap on it
one hate
at least that hasn't changed
cali sluts 4 evaaaaaaaaaaa
wow this is me in 2003: i like to drink, sometimes smoke, hang out, and listen to music.
i always end up the only girl in a group of guys.
i'm a dork.
the comments above are all true, but mayhaps i should elaborate.
i am a dork. putting my foot in my mouth and constantly saying "D'OH" when i've done something utterly embarrassing.
when i go out to lunch, to dinner, to bars, to hang out. i can usually be counted as the only girl in a group of guys. i don't get along well with girls, although 2 of my best friends are female i hardly see them as much as i should. however when i'm on the aim or talking shit...it's usually with 4-5 guys who i spent much of my last couple years of college talking shit with.
i do like to drink. but i don't drink that much anymore. my freshman year i drank 11 shots of 151. and yes, even i don't even know how i survived. i sometimes smoke, but gave it up as a promise to the powers above when my moms got sick. i attempt to hang out often but this thing called a day job gets in the way. i own too many cds and have purchased a cd more than once because it was a) lost, b) scratched up to the point of no return or c) i didn't remember if i bought it or not.
i frequently double flush in public restrooms and am not afraid to .2. when you gotta go you gotta go. damnit.
i sometimes slip into accents out of nowhere. a pilipino one learned from my parents. a valley one learned from my surroundings. a ghetto one also learned from my surroundings. a midwest one learned from a coworker.
my favorite color[s] are shades of blue [like the madlib album], brown, red, black, and green. at one point in my life it was blue and orange.
i'm a sucker for rad socks, argyle anything, pop culture, toys, office supplies, water, burt's beeswax lip balm, questioning whether or not i should purchase and ipod, writing jibberish, thinking, and singing at the top of my lungs in my car.
people watching is my habit of choice. and i make up stories in my head about the people i observe. OR i criticize horrible fashion mistakes. hang out with me and you'll probably understand...
the funniest thing i've seen in a while.
