i love how the government rapes people in the ass by selling cigarettes..and also how people continually spend their money to rot their own bodies. hmm the government is selling us this product that causes death (and also makes you look 90 when youre only 40, and STINK)and its costing us money every week to buy them (because you have to constantly supply them or else you can't function)...but its totally worth it because.....? cigarettes sure are a fucking expensive way to kill yourself |

soo it's only just become apparent to me that i didn't use to pick at my nails, and now, i do. its become a part of my life, like a daily task. i never used to have this compulsion of tearing at my cuticles..its REAAALLY bad when i study, especially if i am just reading. if there is not a pen in my hand, my fingers are probably going away at it on my toesies..and my poor toesies! they will look like man feet for as long as i continue to rip them to shreads..i've also realized that this uncontrollable urge is probably a lil more deep-rooted than just a nervous itch. i guess i feel a bit of mental distress. i feel like my entire life situation is just dizzolving into pieces even though im mostly happy? i don't know..but its something i need to eliminate from my life. my poor body..thats not fair of me to lash out on my body. i'm the one thats abused her over the years..and now this. if that means i need to figure something else out to calm me down then so be it. but switching nervous habits doesn't fix the nervousness.
anyways..on a more asian note
i went to lunch yesterday with alysia, loretta, and sammi from work (i can't help but still calling it work) to the saigon noodle house that had a very climatic departure. our one friend sammi had to leave early because she had to be at work soon, so she went up to the register and paid for her food. we get our bill a few minutes later, and her food was still on our bill. so alysia went up to the main man sitting at the register and told him there was a mistake. ooooh he did NOT like that! he go all riled up saying that no one girl came up to pay and YOU GO CALL HER YOU CALL HER AND ASK HER!! just barking up a storm at her..when after a few minutes of him shooting us dirty looks and yelling to his friend alysia tries again and what do you know, her receipt was sitting right in front of his face. it turned out that they thought she ordered food to go? and they had a bag of food at the counter, that i guess they made for her? i dont know how all of that happened..but the guy was a big ol dick about it. i wonder if he would have yelled at someone his age that way. there was an older man that was eating there, but i guess also knew the guy because they were talking together like they did. anyways during the whole shabang he chimed in and said to the guy "the girl that was in line..i saw her standing in line she was in an orange shirt..i don't know if she paid or not, but i saw her standing up there"...i thought that was really awesome of him to stand up for us and let the other guy know that we werent crazy or making up a story to get out of a bill..the whole thing just made me think about how language barriers can really hinder communication. it sounds silly to say because its obvious that you can't understand someone if you don't know their language. but this guy, and another man that was serving us our food, didn't know what we wanted from them because they didn't get what we were trying to say. and in turn the guy got frustrated and just started yelling. i mean he spoke english but trying to explain a problem on a bill suddenly made communication impossible. poor loretta..great first impression to saigon noodle house...guess we won't be going back there. |

gifts are so much better when the persons not expecting it. ive always thought gifts were supposed to be something the person knew they really wanted...thats always how its been. like for christmas, i knew almost everything id be getting, because i got what i asked for. but its different when you actually put thought into a gift..when the person doesn't know they want it until they get it..when you want to give the person something new theyve never read or seen because you believe that they will enjoy it. it really makes me appreciate the meaning of what a gift is supposed to be. all the more reason to look forward to burning man. |

i wish that pooping could be turned into an hour long event. it doesn't take very long to poop at all. i brought my laptop in the bathroom hoping that i would spend a good amount of time on the toilet, savouring my delivery, but its so short lived! the pleasure lasts for the few seconds it takes to push out, and then, its gone.
i have the most awesome boyfriend...mike surprised me at the end of work today with not only himself, but a boquet of floras! for completing my first semester at maryland. which byyyyy the way, A in geomorphology and A in math!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is completely worthy of all of those exclamation marks. if toilet seats were more comfortable, i may have spent more time on this. |

i love how each year seems to bring with it new musical tastes, and how new forms of music affect my ever-growing being. hyped up, fast-paced beats where the groove of the music consumes my insides is where its at. i used to disregard any music that didn't have vocals because i thought that was the most important part of the music. now i think i'd rather like to do without the vocals, they seem to get in the way. i lava music. |

Research by psychologists Richard Ryan, PhD, and Edward Deci, PhD, on Self-Determination Theory indicates that intrinsic motivation (doing something because it is inherently interesting or enjoyable), and thus higher quality learning, flourishes in contexts that satisfy human needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness. Students experience competence when challenged and given prompt feedback. Students experience autonomy when they feel supported to explore, take initiative and develop and implement solutions for their problems. Students experience relatedness when they perceive others listening and responding to them. When these three needs are met, students are more intrinsically motivated and actively engaged in their learning. |

i am pissed off that i'm pissed off about the weather today. i woke up and the first thing i thought was "goddammit it's snowing." i have been complaining all day about the weather and that is so silly. maybe i am mad at myself for not having proper snow/rain attire? i fear every step is my last. |

Heinz America's Favorite Tomato Ketchup and Heinz Organic Certified Tomato Ketchup have exactly the same ingredients except for three.
Ingredients: tomato concentrate made from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, natural flavoring.
Ingredients: organic tomato concentrate made from red ripe organic tomatoes, organic sugar, salt, organic onion powder, organic spice, natural flavoring.
i wonder which is which. i don't understand why sugar wasn't used to begin with...whose idea was it to put a modified substance in our food over readily available natural substances. money hungry bitches. |

i think this is the beginning of a good relationship...i am deathly terrified of spiders, but lately one has taken up residence on the outside of my window screen, and i think it is pretty fantastic. not only is it OUTSIDE of my window and not inside of my room, he won bonus points right there..he (i automatically assign everything a male because boys are just cooler than girls) eats all the bugs before they make it in my room! atleast on the right hand side of the room..and i like looking into his web to see what didn't make it into my room. |
