i could just do hw to stop from being bored, i guess.







What's your inner power? (Girls only sorry. Beautiful anime pictures, lengthy results)




Empathy- Your inner power is Empathy! This means that you have a talent for identifying others emotions, often by simply glancing at them. You are EXTREMELY shy and quiet. People sometimes dont notice youre around and seem surprised to find out you even exist in a big class. Youre the often silent, goody two shoes, and few get passed the walls youve built up to stop yourself being hurt, as you no doubt have been in the past. Not everyone understands you, in fact some think that youre a snob or worse because you rarely participate in group activities. Youre extremely sensitive, even the least harsh of words can hurt you. Only your very few, closest friends who have earned your hard-to-get trust know who you really are inside; a sweet, gentle young woman who is lonely and so desperately needing friends to support you. You can get very depressed and not always know why, despite your power of empathy, as it seems to only work for people outside you. Your friends always turn to you when they need advice or comforting, and in some way you need to give that helpit makes you feel better in return to know that youve helped out your friends. Despite your cold, impassive exterior and high, seemingly unbreachable walls, inside you are really a great, intelligent person, full of compassion and love, if only people would dare take a chance and try to get through your tough shell. Never let others get you down, or change you. You are very special the way you areeven if you dont have fifty thousand friends, you are just as, if not more extraordinary than everyone else. Reach for the stars, because I dont doubt youll catch hold of them. Boy/Girl who will sweep you off your feet: A sweet, shy and romantic man/woman. The kind of guy/woman you know will never, ever hurt you, and will love you for ever. The kind of person who believes in true love, and soul mates. Your stone: Blue Topaz Your power: Healing. Emotionally, physically, or spiritually, you heal people with your words, your actions and presence. Youre the one that the little children are always drawn to, because they know youll never let anything hurt them. Your element: Clairvoyance (The power to see objects or events that cannot be perceived by the normal five senses.) A quote that applies to you: "True beauty shines from the soul and warms the world with its kindness, compassion , and integrity."

the spammers are getting more creative, methinks. what if i named my kid that? can you imagine when they hit school, having to do those ridiculous name projects like we did? "mommy, where did you get my name? i bet it mean something special, right?" "oh, well actually, I saw it once because some spam had it as the sender name. i thought it pwnd." "oh." what genuine dissapointment! either that, or the kid would be like WOAH COOL SPAM YOU'RE REALLY THAT OLD?!? EMAIL SPAM?? THEY DIDNT JUST IMPLANT IT INTO YOUR BRAIN WITH SPOONS?!?

oh, and go weikei it's yo birfday.

the final email back from hp about my non-functioning ipod:

Ummm.. i doubt they would really appreciate my feedback. it would go something like this: "thanks for helping, but there is no way in hell i am replacing my product because obviously there is something wrong with them. tell whoever's in charge (i realize this is not your fault) that i wish them the best in ruining the hopes and dreams of not only teenagers, but everybody everywhere."

only probably more vulgar and less understanding.

this pisses me off.

we'll collect moments one by one

new york was fabulous, how else would it be. the weather was simply amazing. so beautiful. wish i could stay...

does it ever strike you odd that when you go on vacation you are embarrassed to feel like a tourist? it bothers me. maybe not a lot, but you feel stupid all the time. especially when you are loading a bus and one of your vacation-mates says, "wow look at how yellow all these taxis are! there are so many!" and you think to yourself, duh they're yellow, they're taxis and we are in new york...

you feel the constant need to act like the real citizens of wherever you are, as futile as it is. in the case of new york, you feel the great need to cross the street when the red little man urges you not to, to never ever look someone in the eye and to mumble incoherently. it is also common to comment on the stupidity of other tourists. "idiots, look at how they just almost fell down when the subway stopped" when you yourself had completely tripped backwards into a pole the day before. "these stpuid tourists walk so slow!" when you had stopped in the freaking middle of the sidewalk to stare at the tops of buildings the day before.

and where does it get us? absolutely nowhere. maybe it's because, as houstonians, we never have the superior feeling of belonging where we live. there are no tourists here to look down on, to make feel stupid. unless you go to the space center or something. and sometimes the galleria, though people at malls are generally idiots in their own right anyway.

we are a minority, maybe the only people anywhere who live in a huge metropolis but don't feel better than anybody because of it (aside from the podunks in texas country); there are no people seen often who are out-of-towners, maggots to our lucious apple.

i guess that's how the furture's done
