Taken from the coolest Chiu around, these are the five questions that Jason asked me...then anyone reading this comment if you want me to ask you five questions. Whoot.
1. You obviously have a fuckton of things going on. Which activity would you say is your real passion?
Do I have to pick one? As much as I bitch about it, I honestly love them all...I'm the kind of person that tries to do everything I possibly can and has a lot of varied interests at the same time. If I REALLY had to pick I'd go with (I'm assuming the question refers to my extracurriculars):
Clarinet/youth orchestra brings me back to my band geek roots. I love it. As cheesy as it sounds, there really is no other feeling than finishing a roaring last note of a Tchaikovsky after playing your absolute heart out. Yeah, the lips might have indentations in them from your teeth, your breath may come out in painful gasps, the fingers may be cramped, your vision blurry...but it honestly doesn't matter.
2. What is your favorite theme park?
I haven't been to many theme parks. I think I'll go with the classic Disneyland. Man I love Disney/Disneyland. Best memories there when our Crocker Symphonic Band performed there and running around Disneyland during school days with my friends...amazing. Sprinting through Disneyland, frantic to make it before the deadline clutching my good friend's sodden wallet retrieved from the bottom of a log ride...amazing.
3. Explosions vs. implosions. Which one do you prefer?
Implosions. Don't rightly know why. But definitely implosions.
4. Why do you enjoy dance so much?
It's kind of weird because like I didn't seriously start dancing until freshman year/never had proper, proper training. I've always been fixated on like little things that I find beautiful. I can't particularly explain it, but like a certain note, the blending of paints, or like a particular fabric. I've always been awed by the grace of dancers and always wanted to be like that. Plus, there's that whole thing about being able to kind of play different roles up on stage and the precision of it. Weird answer, kinda rambly but yeah...I'm not quite sure if that's all of it, but I think so.
5. Do you actually think you look like Lucy Liu?
Nope. Not at all.

Fucking lab report that took so long and is nine pages...AND I FUCKING FORGOT TO TURN IT IN!

SALE
Sales make me squee with happiness. Too bad sometimes there's the crushing regret of just missing a huge sale (TOWER RECORDS DAMN YOU!) or intense longing of some shiny new toy (drool. OK Go special edition CDs bundled with a DVD. drool).
And damn you Barnes and Noble for making becoming a member so expensive. Now those of us who used to mooch of relative's cards cannot and YOU MAKE ME CRY BECAUSE OF THE SWEET SAVINGS TO BE HAD ONLINE.
My heart broke as I saw that the Buffy regular (NICE) edition (aka the non cheap thinpak) seasons would be a good ten dollars less. I still can't get over my rule of having to have series all be the same edition or I would have snagged all cheap thinpaks.
Wah I would post my wishlist of longing, but I feel it's slightly rude. I'm a strange one.

I've decided I'll start posting in here more often. I used to be a Xanga whore, but eh. Why not.
This brightened up my day:
Whalen in English class:
"Hawthorne's writing is really confusing. If he wanted to say something like...'Sally fed the dog then drank a glass of orange juice', it becomes "Sally juice fed dog glass then orange of the drank'"
Ms. Anderson in Glass:
"Guuuyyyysss...I have freshmen tomorrow. They are so energetic, it's horrifying"
