blur

a long time ago reep said he didn't understand 'breaks'; why not just break up he wondered? and yet even tho officially we're not on a break, we are. he's not talking to me. and i'm leaving him alone (because i respect his privacy, not because i'm immature and am 'punishing' him or something silly). don't kno how long this is going to last. till or past new years even? let's hope not. (altho i think it just might) it's strange being in an argument when you don't kno why you are arguing or even wat you're fighting about (our last fight [see last post] was resolved, i think anyway). i suppose i should take consolation in that i kno who i'm fighting wit. but believe me when i say that it's no real help. not knowing wat you should be upset about makes it hard to kno wat to be happy about. and the constant confusion causes you to wonder exactly where the line is and wat you would do if it were crossed. i hate fighting online. it solicits no sympathy. and the hollow words that you type are somehow lost in the online clutter and all that remains is the cloud of anger obscuring the 'please stop, i'm begging you' when you've never begged before. wat's left is the seeming command of 'stop stop stop' when really you crying uncle.

ps. when your sig other tells you that being selfish if your hangup, not his and that you should be selfish, you wonder if this has been his policy all along...

pps. it's funny that in your pursuit of breaking boundaries you've also managed to burn so many bridges.

crime

BUFFALO, N.Y. - A 6-foot, 2-inch tall, 250-pound robber was not content to rob just a mother's purse -- he grabbed her toddler's purse too. Karley Felschow won't be 2 until Dec. 29, but she's been robbed at gunpoint by a robber who wanted the tiny pink "Disney Princess" purse the little girl was clutching. Lorenzo Brewer, 23, was arrested after a security guard chased him -- just after he allegedly pressed a hand-gun in the chest of 25-year-old Patricia Felschow and took her purse -- and her daughter's purse -- in front of her apartment house. "I was really surprised when he took Karley's purse, too. Who takes a little pink purse from a 1-year-old girl?" the mother asked. Although the two purses were recovered, the $315 Christmas money that Patricia Felschow had earned working overtime was missing.

NORTON SHORES, Mich. - A Michigan man was arrested for shoe theft after he allegedly trespassed at a school and athletic shoes were found in his car that were way too big for him. Police in Norton Shores believe that Roger Weil wanted the shoes for "sexual gratification," the Muskegon Chronicle reported. Jose Gutierrez, a security guard at Mona Shores High School, found Weil in a hallway this week. Gutierrez thought he looked like a man caught by a security camera in November on the day a pair of shoes and $20 disappeared from the school. Gutierrez called police and with the responding officer escorted Weil to his car, where they found a pair of size 14 shoes. Weil has a long history of arrests and convictions for larceny, including previous thefts of shoes from schools.

LONDON - An asylum-seeking British postal worker has been convicted of masterminding a $35 million checkbook theft and fraud operation in London. Prosecutors said Dido Mayue-Belezika, who was born in the Democratic Republic of  Congo, intercepted and stole every checkbook he came across at a sorting office in a scam involving more than 220 accomplices around the country over a three-year period, The Times of London reported. Officially, he earned $430 a week and concealed his lifestyle of luxury cars, designer clothes and lavish foreign holidays by wearing modest clothes at work and driving a secondhand Fiat. But, his bank account always had a $70,000 balance and he carried a wallet stuffed with large bills. Police staged a series of raids across the country in April and took 36 people into custody.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An Alaska grandmother has turned detective as she hunts two men who stole her purse. Fifty-five-year-old Rosie Szymanski was unloading her shopping bags in the parking lot of an Anchorage Costco Monday afternoon when someone shoved her, stole her purse and ran to a waiting car. The Anchorage Daily News reports Szymanski took off after him and identified the thief and the getaway driver as white males in their early 20s. She said they drove a maroon Jeep. "They are lucky I didn't have my .45 automatic," she said. "I would have blasted them." So far Szymanski has tracked the suspects to a number of shops, restaurants and gas stations where the pair used her credit cards before she could cancel them.

quotes

from Kathleen Cambor's In Sunlight, In a Beautiful Garden: A Novel.

"He wished she knew how many sacrifices he had made. And even though he felt petty and unworthy when the thought occurred to him, he wished she could be grateful." (126)

"'I would have preferred raised stones as markers... I imagined something upright, tall, with chiseled angels rising from it. I wanted a carved elaborate script to spell their names, a poem or a prayer carved into marble. I wanted a building built. A mausoleum... I wanted something as magnificent as grief." (213)

wicked

NEW YORK - A family erected a bloody Santa Claus display outside a New York home that has scared children and riled neighbors, The New York Post reported Tuesday. The display features a Santa with a bloody beard wielding a knife in one hand and a severed doll's head -- blood gushing from its eyes -- in the other. Beheaded Barbie dolls also decorate a bare tree. Non-practicing Jews Joel Krupnik and wife Mildred Castellanos said their scary Santa display protests the commercialization of Christmas. "Christmas has religious origins. It's in the Bible," Krupnik told the newspaper. "Santa is not in the Bible. He's not a religious symbol. Santa Claus has become a piece of Americana." 

who's afraid of the big bad witch, big bad witch, big bad witch?... well, i'm sure jennifer aniston in when that witch is angelina jolie. at least according to Madame Tussaud (wax museum).

anyway, enough making fun of anglina when lookie here at the nice christmas card she and brad will be sending out in 2018!

winner!

it's tuesday already and i've not done much since! well, except for bowling wit reep and sunday night and beat him every game! muhahahaha! :) in his defence tho, he had a ball that was too heavy (and he told me to go ahead and try the 15lb ball when i couldn't find anything lighter! i did eventually find and use an 8lb ball). but more importantly ::drumroll:: i've taken bowling lessons before! lol. sometime when i was a kid. like. 10 years or more ago. wit angel and maybe derek? anyway, reep did quite poorly his first game and then added like 23 points a game for the next two. for a second there i thought he was gonna beat me in our third and final game (he got a spare then a strike in 10th round) but then i got a strike then a spare (also in the 10th)! so i beat him by 10 or so points. :) whew! getting close there! i dunno. there isn't much i do better than reep when it comes to games and such so i get really happy when i beat him at anything. altho seriously wit the rate he improves by even the next time we play he'll win me! blah! i should go take lessons from jon on the sly... lol..

living it up

my godma is starting a new job in la sometime next week and will be taking the metro to work. so yesterday my mom and i went wit her to check out the metro lines and did a 'test run' to make sure she knew where to go and such. as we were getting off the first line to transfer to another my mom tells some guy sitting next to the door (altho she actually announces this to the whole cab) 'this is our first time on the train!' uh... thanks mom. let's try to be more conspicuous shall we? anyway. so we finally ended up at the civic center and wound up going to the cathedral of our lady of the angels and to the walt disney concert hall. both very nice. pictures later. then we went to china town for eats. yum!

at night i went to phil's house for his er... holiday party. we had a white elephant gift exhange which went over all and played taboo and wario (or something. i wanna say warioware?) and in all. a good saturday. :)

sharks!

Sharks lived more than 400 million years ago - 200 million years before dinosaurs existed.  

Shark skin is covered with small teeth-like denticles which can tear human skin on contact. It was once used as sandpaper by coastal wood-workers.  

In a single year, a shark goes through more than 20,000 knife-like teeth.  

Unlike other fish, sharks lack air bladders and consequently have to keep moving to avoid sinking and drowning.  

To a shark, a swimmer in a black wetsuit looks a lot like a seal or sea lion.  

The Great White shark has no natural enemies and it never gets sick.  

Three times as many people are killed by lightning as are killed by sharks.  

Sharks have three eyelids on each eye to protect against the thrashing of its prey.  

Some types of sharks can smell one part of blood in 100 million parts of water.

swiffer this!

was just thinking earlier today that i wish all the dust in my house was gone so i wouldn't have to clean as much. then i saw these dust houses. so cute! it's pretty amazing the stuff you can make from normal everyday crap if you just opened your mind and thought about it.

news

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - It's bad enough that a woman mistook a block of cheese for cocaine and tried to hire a hit man to kill four men and steal it. It's even worse that the man she hired was actually an undercover policeman. The 18-year-old aspiring model was in the men's house recently when she spotted the white, crumbly cheese and thought it was cocaine.The undercover officer she "hired" provided her with some non-functioning handguns, purchased ammunition for her, and went with her to the home under police surveillance. The residents of the home allowed police to search it - where they found only the cheese. The woman has been charged with four counts of attempted murder and four more of soliciting a murder.  

LONDON - A train engineer in England has been fired for taking a photograph of himself naked while working and sending it to a colleague over his cell phone. The unidentified man was running a train at 125 mph between London and Sheffield when the picture was taken, Sky News  said. "The driver has now been dismissed," said a Midland Main Line spokeswoman. "Safety is, and always will be, our main priority." Meanwhile, The Sun reported it wasn't an isolated incident. The newspaper said a number of drivers have reportedly taken up the hobby of stripping down before passing other trains, and encouraging fellow engineers to look at them as they speed past one another. 

DETROIT - A now-unemployed Detroit-area police officer has been charged with assault and battery for allegedly discharging a Taser weapon at his patrol partner. Ronald Dupuis was charged with a misdemeanor by Wayne County prosecutors Wednesday relating to an incident in a police cruiser Nov. 3, the Detroit Free Press reported. A police report said Dupuis, 32, and partner Prema Graham began arguing after Dupuis demanded she stop the patrol car at a convenience store so he could purchase a soft drink. Graham wanted to get back to the police station and drove past the store, triggering an argument. Prosecutors said Dupuis then discharged his Taser, an electric stun gun, at Graham's leg. She was not seriously injured.

lyrics

gavin degraw - just friends

I saw you there last night
Standing in the dark
You were acting so in love
With your hand upon his heart

But you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

I've had other options too
But all I want is you
Girl, your body fits me like a glove
And you showered me with words of love

While you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

It's not my style to lay it on the line
But you don't leave me with a choice this time
Why weren't you true
You know I, I trusted you

When you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

You were just friends
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you


could you?

updrops

strange shapes some of the updroplets make in liquid sculpture.

nicknames

Johann Sebastian Bach - In his lifetime, the great composer's music was considered so boring and out of date that even his own family called him "The Old Wig."  

Claudette Colbert - The Oscar-winning actress worried so much about the way she looked during filming that her cameraman dubbed her "The Fretting Frog."  

Christopher Columbus - Historians call him a great explorer, but his own crew wasn't so kind. When his quest for riches led him to insect-infested tropical islands instead of gold and silver, they christened him "The Admiral of the Mosquitoes."  

Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson - The heroes of Western legends and prime-time TV shows were apparently as interested in other pursuits as they were in law and order. On various ccasions they owned saloons, gambling establishments, and even a brothel or two. In their home, Dodge City, Kansas, they were known as "The Fighting Pimps."  

Billy Graham - In his early days, the famous crusading evangelist was known as "The Preaching Windmill" because of "his exuberant arm flailing."  

Leo Tolstoy - The author of War and Peace is considered one of the greatest novelists in history. But people who knew him as a child - even his own family and close friends - called the troubled youth "Crybaby Leo."  

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec - The famous French painter suffered through childhood accidents that gave him the appearance of a dwarf - but not in every way. When he lived in a brothel, the prostitutes, amused by the contrast in size between "his large male member" and the rest of his body, dubbed him "the Teapot."

hunting

so i'm home again. came back friday for a bit and went to san fran for the weekend. came back late last night. (will probably post pictures after i get back to school and at snapshots). today i went to the mall and such picking up job applications. dunno how well this is gonna go tho. the places that would hire me are already done hiring. and places that wouldn't hire me anyway are still looking. who wouldn't hire me? the limited, lens crafters, victoria secrets... i got asked several times today if i was older than 18 years. uh yeah, i'm 22. but like seriously. i don't dress stylishly or even in the 'norm'. i hardly ever wear jeans. i'm always in pants. trousers maybe even. wide leg always. and i like to dress in dark muted colors. right, exactly the type to be working at like hollister. ...eesh. wouldn't mind working at victoria's secret. could get some nice bras and undies in the deal. but have you looked at the ladies working there? busty and made-up. ladies there wear a ton of making. i don't even own concealer. bah. i really do need a job tho... imma drop off my applications romrow at the mall then head over to bp mall to pick up some more. hopefully i'll get a job. i am SO low on funds... if anyone knows anyone who's hiring for the season let me kno okay? or. if you see some store hiring, pick me up an application. thanks. :)

garden

because i'm now at home i won't be updating much wit pictures, but give it a month and i'll be back wit pictures again. so for now it'll mainly be quotes and links of things (but not 'funny' links like in my musings. more... beautiful or thought provoking stuff.)

frozen garden. really quite amazing. reminds me of the girls from the city of gold and lead book, how they were chosen as the most beautiful and then preserved in that 'gallery'. altho this is in no way as creepy.

women

In 1920, 57% of Hollywood movies billed the female star above the leading man. In 1990, only 18% had the leading lady given top billing.

Canada declared national beauty contests canceled as of 1992, claiming they were degrading to women.

A healthy man who is good physical shape has about 12 to 15 percent body fat. A woman in good shape has between 15 to 18 percent. The models used in most of the advertising for abdominal machines, on the other hand, have less than 10 percent body fat.

smile!

in the spirit of christmas i post this crazyness. it's freakin incredible the effort some go thru wit their christmas lights. oh, and don't forget to turn up your volume. (thanks thy!) now can you imagine if you were the neighbor across the street? you would go nuts wit all the damn lights and music! so perhaps you'd rather look at this? jack black (lol, open this! just one picture) for his new movie. and perfectly sized for your desktop i might add. ah, now you can't get enough of the funny pictures? well here are some of figure skaters looking not too graceful. :)

stickers!

(eesh, every time i gotta recap!) so after teaching a few of us went on a seperate trip to the city of chengdu in the sichuan province in china, home of really spicy chinese food. while we were there we visted people's park (like every city in china has a people's park) and took those sticker pictures that were really popular years ago over here? anyway, perfectly it was a sheet of 16 so each of chose our four backgrounds. here are mine!

shanghai sunset

shanghai. awesome place. and i've absolutely no shortage of pictures. so here're some of the sunset in shanghai.

       

first thru third pictures taken from people's square, where the museum, grand theatre and such are located. don't really kno wat the buildings in the pictures are tho... in the first picture, the main building is this beautiful silvery building. the top of it has these waves so the refelction of light is spectacular. behind that, which you can see, altho not well, is this gold building. and together, during the day, it's an awesome sight. silver and gold against this great blue sky. some of the bluest skies i saw in china were in shanghai. in picture two the building to the left, wit the curved 'hande' coming off it, is the museum i think? and picture four is just some random street i thought looked cool in the darkening sunset.

conspiracy

dennis rodman (basketball player, remember?) has always been a little strange. but lately he's gotten even weirder. publicity stunt anyone? well watever it is, it doesn't seem to be working. or that dress, hair, or makeup... guy really should just stick to buzz cuts and chapstick. speaking of which... reepal has long since been telling me that he gets hooked onto chapstick. i guess it works so well that when he doesn't use it his lips go to hell? and appt it's true. lips (and people) can develope an addiction to lipbalm. i think i might have a bit of a problem myself. but have no fear, there's a wonder 12 step program outlined for you. and so while you're busily applying your next coat of chapstick, go watch this weird bunny vs crow video.

wat?!

someone asked me today just how long it's been that i've been wit reep. i said finished four years, just started our fifth. then thought about it. and no, we actually just finished our fifth and are starting our 6th. can you believe that!? oh my god! like... i mean... sh*t! i'm f*cking speechless. i just cannot believe it. i... sheesh. okay. i'm not like: 'aw man i've wasted so much time wit him!' or even like 'aw, we've been so long together, we're so cute!' no. it's basically just utter shock. it's funnier cause it's me. homegirl who like, was (is, really) a commitment phobe. i dunno... appt i don't kno myself very well? was telling reep the other day that i'm not the nurturing type. he said that i am, but i just don't like to admit it. or that i'm more nurturing than i think i am. or something like that. but anyway, five complete years. that's longer than felicity was on. nealy as long as sex in the city! incredible.

'when memories fade, we've got each other' 'and it feels like we could last forever and i’m not doing this alone' / 'i won’t do this without you so take heart, cause you know that you have mine' / 'i hold it all when i hold you' / 'i just need you in my life, so promise me again'

rewind

was going thru my old posts from trips/travels and came across this:

 

7.10 3 doors down – be like that  jesus… so reep gave saeho danny’s sn. and he ims him. danny asks who he is. and he says 'a friend of stephanie' ... ... WTF! jesus... i mean... do watever the fuck it is your  immaturity wants to do. but don't get me involved. jesus. course. reep didn't expect saeho to say anithing like that. he got pretty pissed too. or... i don't think pissed, really. he was laughing. felt like punching him. jesus. suggested that i block danny on my buddy list. told him i couldn't, as i didn't have his sn. reep couldn't give it to me either. said some shit about how i give him my password then he come on and block him. ...so then wouldn't i be able to check after that? 'so don't look' ...

 

dude, can you believe that shit? oh my god. if this happened today i'd have a lot more to say than just '...' fuck man. can you believe he wouldn't give me the sn of my exfriend? i mean, who the hell are you to deny me information that is more relevant to me than it is to you? and you can give your friend his sn who then goes to harrasses him but you won't give it to me? the hell is this?! my god we were stupider back then. well, i'm different now of course. i'd not take this ish. i'll have to ask reep tho if he'd act the same way. damn! he'd better not say he would!

great wall

going to beijing and not visiting the great wall would be like going to the mall and not buying anything. uh, wat? lol. anyway. so our tour guide dropped us off at some place where you can go 8 towers one way and 3 towers the other way. i wanted to do as many as i could so i immediately split off from the group. i only did 7 one way but then i doubled back and did two more. it was pretty cool. most people only do the long way but going the other way was nice because the views are actually really different. the towers are built different as well. thing that surprised me the most about the great wall? how damn steep some of it is! eesh!

        

picture one: first leg. looking up the long way. picture two: window looking out. picture three: window at short way looking back towards long side. picture four: shadowy me at a tower looking down into stairwell. at nearly every tower you can step outside the wall. and at most of the towers there is a little souvenir stand. you can also take a picture wit a camel or horse. and, if you wish, you may dress up in some 'traditional' chinese outfit and pose. and yes, it really is as hokey as it seems. :) i lost that hat somewhere btw. :( i got it in taiwan the last time i went. it said ucla on it. lol.

stupido!

stupid happens. but sometimes the rest of us get lucky and the stupids get weeded out. by themselves! smart people participate in self-preservation. stupids do ..er... themselves. yes. ..anyway. rapper shoots self dead. good job guy. and right before getting a record deal, imagine that! and here's a whole slew of stupid plane accidents (do actually see them thru to the end. 3rd from last is strange as hell). and for those of you really wanting to join the ranks of stupid, go to ebay and buy a porn company.

o really?

felicity huffman names her penis. which strangely enough, isn't the funniest thing about the article. the writer calls her 'sexy' and 'stunning'. oh really? (ya really! stupid owls!!) and so i kno this is really really terrible, but these two guys make fun of the cutest dogs and i just found it hilarious! and for a little more stupid humor, watch this pepsi commercial. they say we also had this on tv for a while but i really don't remember it.

picture ...perfect?

went here and made this (that ugly thing below). lol... i didn't kno wat to draw so i tried to do that other picture reep and i took at the oc fair earlier this summer. needless to say, it doesn't really look like wat it's supposed to look like. reepal especially came out looking really really strange. lol... i tried fixing it but i think just made it worse. lol... well anyway. i tried.

                       

aww man... putting the next together just hows really how bad it is. lol... i guess...i sorta look okay? well... recognizable at least... at the very least... reepal... well... he just looks strange.. lol... anyway, you go try your own. better yet. save that picture of reep and me and try your hand at it. i guarantee it'll be better than mine. :)

masks (shanghai museum cont.)

the last fallery i visted at the shanghai museum was the chinese minority nationalities' art gallery. unfortunately i ran out time so i wasn't able to take nearly as many pictures as i wanted. but it was mainly displays of the traditional dress of the chinese minorities. all the clothing was incredible. and some were so elaborate. and the way they set up the exhibit was awesome too. anyway. on one wall they had a whole thing of masks, and here are a few of the stranger / funnier ones.

           

huh?

why is it that guys take so long to poo? takes them like half an hour! man... i sometimes read in the bathroom but it's only because i like to read, not because otherwise imma get all bored and maybe fall asleep from staring at the door for an hour or two. sheesh homies, if it always takes that long, go drink some prune juice.
