Haven’t written in a while! Y’see … I was going to make a new layout but then my Photoshop decided to not save my work. You know how you can always remake it but it’s never the same? Yeah, that’s what happened with me and my layout. So … No new layout for now. Unless Joe or Manny decide to spontaneously make me a layout. Who knows, eh?
I’m seriously craving some Philadelphia Maki.
So, I don’t really know what to write. Two concerts in March, possibly one in May. My loverly Seniors should come with. Two of those three are all ages.
School is going … Very schoollike?
I missed The OC last night.
I heard Johnny fell off a cliff.
I’ve been very zoned out for the past few eps.
I know Seth broke my heart though.
Drugs are bad, mmkay.

[ feeling : sad ]
[ hearing : canasta – chicago slow down ]
So I’ve been working at O’hare Ventures (aka the Manchu Wok in Terminal 3) for almost two months now. I’m scared because my last job lasted for two months before I got fired. I don’t know, getting fired isn’t a very good thing. I feel that I could be let go anytime soon. I just feel really paranoid because ever since I’ve been transferred to register, I’ve been a big fuck up.
A cash register plus a girl who hasn’t taken math in a while equals nothing good.
Although… I’m really careful with my register’s money. I think the system is out to get me.
I don’t even know why I fear getting fired. I mean, lately, I’ve been feeling massively depressed at my workplace. The whole establishment is like a family except I’m that black sheep that people rarely talk to let alone acknowledge. It’s probably because I don’t speak Tagalog or Spanish … and the fact I don’t talk about (or know about, really) Abercrombie, designer perfumes and new Green Day songs doesn’t help either. It’s like … everyone gets a hug goodbye except me.
Yeah, sad times. Did I mention Mr. Tsurutani works at a nearby bookstore in the same terminal? Yeah, sadder times. I was hoping I would have been moved to Terminal 1.
Happier things that should be mentioned:
- The Changes, Alphabet, and Wax on Radio at Schubas
- Head of Femur, Catfish Haven, and Canasta at Beat Kitchen
- The Squid and the Whale
- Escape from Earth, Absent Star, Blame Twilight, Flying Just Below Radar, and A Fading Memory at The Metro
Canasta is a really good local band. Alphabet is really good, too. As for the show at the Metro … I cared for the first three bands listed. That show was tonight and it was really different from the concerts I’ve been going to lately. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Alkaline Trio t-shirts at a concert.
Everyone goes back to school on my birthday.
I don’t have a wishlist at this point because …
I got none of the stuff on my last one.
(Well except maybe a t-shirt that I actually got myself)
(I am not counting my Amazon wishlist)
(Joe spoils me by getting me stuff on that)
(I like parentheses =D)
[ feeling : stinky ]
[ hearing : mel brooks – springtime for hitler (part II) ]
So I’ve been consumed by video games for the past few weeks. If it isn’t SecondLife, it’s a game Joe burned for me by the name of The Movies. Like seriously … I stayed up till maybe 3AM at the latest playing SecondLife without realizing it but when playing The Movies, 4AM comes around and I really dont know it.
I haven’t seen anyone in DAYS!
Good thing I have work on the weekends or I’d just be a hermit.
Also, watch The Producers ... It’s fan-fucking-tabulous. I mean … If you don’t care for musicals … There’s Uma Thurman being Swedish. C’mon, you know you want to. I mean … This soundtrack is the first CD I’ve bought in probably years.
Adolf Elizabeth Hitler.
I still haven’t done the Xmas presents for people. I’m such a terrible person like that. Sorry, kiddos.
[ feeling : weird ]
[ hearing : robyn – konichiwa bitches ]
I’m totally doing all my Holiday shopping after Christmas. I haven’t had the opportunity to shop … And the crowds bother me anyway. So … Forgiveness please if you don’t get a gift from me right away.
I’m blogging cause Joe told me to.
I really have nothing to talk about.
I’m still into the SecondLife like crazy.
My tummy is being odd. It hurts but I don’t want to eat.
I reserved the bare minimum of my books for next semester … about $200 so far. Fucking hurts.
Um, I didn’t fail Chemistry but I still suck cause everyone got a perfect GPA and I didn’t. I’m such a failure. I wrote about this on LJ already! Y’see … Even though I left Northside where they whined about getting lower than a 4.5, I get to still feel like an idiot because so many people complain about how mediocre UIC is.
If you get lower than straight A’s at UIC,
YOU FUCKING SUCK MAJOR BALLS.
[ feeling : depressed ]
[ hearing : the simpsons on fox ]
So I officially failed General Chemistry. I guess a weekend of studying does nothing on me. It also doesn’t help that my TA was the vaguest motherfucker on earth who gave shoulder shrugs more than solutions to our problems. My classmates in discussion weren’t helpful either.
I hate when I ask classmates for help and they just go ‘I don’t know’ but have that look on their face that says, “Uh … fuck you. I know what I’m doing but I’ll never tell you a goddamn thing.”
But then … god forbid THEY have problems with it … they go around and ask you for help even though they refused to help you.
I know I should have tried harder.
Third time with Chemistry and I’m still shit.
I wasted my parents’ money.
They’re going to lose more.
My financial aid is probably going to be gone.
I’m such an incompetent fucker.
I miss Mynor and Sebastian for being able to help me.
They were always nice enough to help.
Yoinked from Tanya, Duron, and Kiyomi.
[ feeling : random ]
[ hearing : the streets – it was supposed to be so easy ]
So I have three days of finals ahead of me,
But I’ve been unable to focus tonight.
I watched Fox, I watched The OC episode I wasn’t really paying attention to last Thursday, I wandered The OC site to find out who did a cover of the song “Yellow” on that episode, I looked up the soundtrack mixes of The OC ... Then Nintendogs was a featured item on Amazon so I found out there are three variations of it: Chihuahua, Labrador Retriever, & Dachshund. I also took a shower.
Some mild studying somewhere in between.
Did you know that I’ve had the most random encounters? One of my old friends found me on MySpace. Those closer to me should know who Marites is.
Then I’ve been working at Manchu Wok for about a month now and last week, I found out Roxanne Marquez (who now is called Roxie) works there as well … well started recently at least.
Marites seems the same girl I knew from before only lacking a “husband”.
Roxie looks the same, she talks more than she used to, she told me about meeting “AJ” and how she liked him initially but didn’t when he turned into a jerk.
Apparently he mentioned me when talking to her about St. Ed’s. Yeah, I’m ashamed of those days … Y’know, liking a guy way too much. Wow, I was lame. Let’s not discuss this.
But I still like pandas.
This is nowhere related to him though.
Like I forgot he existed until Roxie asked,
“Do you know AJ?”
OH MAN THAT MUST HAVE BEEN AWKWARD. Like last time I saw him was at Wright College when I was looking to expand my education over the summer and coincidentally enough, I was wearing my Threadless Pandamonium tee. He must have been, “SHIT … I’m too damned good, she must still like me … actually that’s creepy … must run away.”
It’s funny how things work out that way.
I feel sort of bad that whenever an English customer comes by Manchu Wok, I get The Streets songs stuck in my head.
I’m so screwed. I’m going to be taking Chem 112 another sem.
I absolutely know it.
