Yesterday was a good day. I got into my non-major dance class, I made it to all my classes on time, the day before put me in a wonderful mood, people asked me for help on homework so I felt smart and popular and needed and...stuff.... And most of all, I am now a fashion model! Woo! I got an email late last night saying that I was accepted as a model in the Spirit fashion show! Yippee!
Sadly, Ben didn't kill a Bambi after sitting around all yesterday, so he has to go out again on Saturday....I guess I won't really get to see him...

Gusher
Yes, this one's going to be a big gusher.
First, I went back to the high school and visited lots of teachers. I didn't get to see one - gym teachers are always so hard to track. It sort of saddens me, but a lot of the teachers I visited are retiring soon. I'd say in ten years, there will be no one to visit.... Well, maybe Strevie and Vas will still be around, they're still young. Marlen didn't show up, but that's okay because we went for post-Thanksgiving shopping together. Mostly I dragged her around, but I think we had bunches of fun.
I spent Thanksgiving weekend inundated with cousin happiness. On Thanksgiving day, we had 20 people in the house. My family, my second cousins, my cousins from Flushing, a cousin from Tokyo, and all the family on my daddy's side, minus Grammy whose on the other side of the world basking in the freezing tropics. We had a very Chinese Thanksgiving with yams the Chinese way, and duck instead of turkey, and the ham was roasted Chinese style. Only one thing was truly not Chinese - Sylvia's ultra delicious 3-cheese casserole, of which I had much. Oishi-desu! We ended the day playing Mafia, and poor Jon kept getting lynched by us. Oops...
Next day was ultra shopping and I bought a wonderful present for someone, but I'm not saying who it's for or what it is for fear of ruining the surprise. I bought myself a new pair of pants and got some nice Cream colored sweaters to go with it. Now that I think of it, I haven't worn anything cream colored in public in a very long time... Then Saturday, I went and did all of my homework, and cousin Maiko helped me with Japanese - I'll bet my teacher will be stumped as to where I picked up my snazzy new grammar (Jyuugyou wa, ikutsu arimasuka?)
This morning I got up at the bright and early hour of 6:30 am, and dad drove me to the airport. I got to trudge my bag by a bitchy mother (boy did I want to flick her off, and if she yelled at me about ruining her children, I'd loved to have said, "o no, ma'am, you've already ruined them yourself.") When I got off the plane, I went in search of Ben. I wandered around a couple minutes and then spotted him wandering the baggage claim and I attempted to sneak up behind him but he turned around right when I was about to give a surprise hug. O poo. Then Ben and his parents (his mom was there to show him how to get to the airport, his dad was there because he likes looking at airplanes ^_^ ) drove me back to his place. Then they brought out the Christmas tree. Pretty lights and almost all the ornaments are hand made, stuff from when Ben and his brothers were little. And they had stockings! It's a very american Christmas in their household. Then, around 2, Ben and I went the mall to get something to eat (Wendy's chicken nuggets are pretty good), but not before Ben's mom handed me an index card with instructions to put things on there that I might like for Christmas. Wow, no? So we walked around the mall till 5:30 looking at all the stores - everything's really expensive.... We took a break at one point and stuffed ourselves into one of those quarter rides for little kids, we both fit into a tiny helicopter, not at the same time and it was very crammed in there, but still, we amazingly fit. I put a few things on my list, but I felt that everything in the mall is annoyingly expensive, even the lip gloss. I put some white shiny lip gloss on, and my lips looked so huge they were about to fall off. Ben got some on himself and it was quite funny - o my metrosexual boyfriend...not really... After that, we went back to his place and I had dinner with him and his parents! Steak, baked potato and salad - wow was I full, but the food was yummy, and I didn't want to be impolite and leave food on my plate. But mostly, it was very yummy... And now I'm home, and so is Rachel. Today was a Good day!

Scary things
I was playing "Thief: The Dark Project" just now with my sister. It's very scary, just about as scary as the first time I played it. I don't really mind getting killed or killing people in that game, but when there's zombies or big lizards, things get Really creepy. And call me crazy, but the whole time I was playing I was thinking that I missed Ben...even though it's only been a couple days since I've seen him.
God, that game scares the heck out of me. Why do I torture myself like that...?

Katamari
I haven't really been online much lately. It's because I've become absolutely addicted to Katamari Damasy - it's a very odd game that must have been created when someone was high...All you do is roll up things into balls and they get made into stars and constellations. I finished today by rolling the MOON! It was amazingly, wondrously ginormous! AMAZINGLY SO!! Ah hem...anyway...

Hockey, Cider and Whales...
It bewilders me how some people can be obsessive over stupid things like sports statistics. LOTS of sports statistics and useless information like when athletes' children are born. If sports enthusiasts were to take all the energy they direct towards these things and turn it towards something useful - say, physics, we'd already have cold fusion and hydrogen powered hover crafts.
But I digress. Life seems pretty easy now that we're back from New York. In less than a week, I will be home in good old CT, and visiting my teachers of yore, and giving Marlen her birthday present. The professor seems to think we're going to be insanely busy in the coming weeks to work towards the final project, but I feel oddly very relaxed. I got my requirements done today and Professor was most pleased with my section, so much that he clapped his hands thus alerting the entire studio as to my previous inadequacy.
Inadequacy which is still running amok in regards to my drawings in, well, Drawing class. I can't draw my damn annex. Can't. Just won't work. I went over everything over and over in my sketchbook, I actually have only 10-15 pages blank left in there, isn't that amazing? Still, I compared to everyone else's and mine was severely disappointing and lacking. I discussed it with the teacher later and he was relieved to hear that it was only disappointing because of my extreme frustration at not being able to construct an accurate representation. Dumb annex...
O and I noticed that lately, I've been feeling very jittery. I'd be sitting in class and be overcome with very strong emotions of hysteria. I've mentioned it before, but it's been pretty consistent now. In drawing class today, I had a strong urge to tear off my pants (probably because they were constricting my legs and making me uncomfortable) and scream and kick things. I kept visualizing myself doing a 180 degree fan kick like Kayan does on Battle Arena Toshinden and breaking the uncomfortable looking oak chair sitting empty next to me because Max, lucky guy, snuck out of class.
O and I've been making myself hot apple cider - most delicious, I'm offically addicted.
And I found my favorite scarf and gloves, well now those gloves are only second favorite - I really like the new suede and wool ones I bought it NY.
O and I registered for classes today - hopefully I can get into that dance class I wanted, the teacher apparently only allows certain people in, and I had to send him a list of my dance experience (twice - obviously he wasn't paying attention) and I have to check out his class on Monday. Keeping my fingers crossed - don't feel like turning into a whale...

New York, New York
This weekend I went to New York. I love New York. It was cold and windy and rainy, but I still love New York. I also love how Pittsburgh is about ten degrees warmer.
I stayed at the Chelsea International Youth Hostel. It's a good experience, I think. It's a different sort of environment from hotels in that we're literally only provided with a bed, clean sheets, a thin blanket, a locker and a bathroom. The entire building shared a shower and a toilet, and the sinks were in the rooms in a corner. That's the first time I've seen the toilet have its very own room since I've been in Japan. Sadly, unlike Japan, there's no sink on the top of the toilet, so it's a little disgusting. Also, our neighbors didn't really have a sense of cleanliness so the floor got particularly disgusting after only two days of staying there. I had to borrow my roomie's flip flops a lot. Still, it was a lot of fun - I think I'd like to back pack across Europe sometime and stay in hostels there, somehow I get the feeling that European back packers are more considerate of public toilets. But then, who knows.
We went to a lot of galleries and museums and stores designed by famous architects. Some of it was interesting. Is it bad that none of them impressed me greatly? Though I do like Donald Judd's furniture design. I didn't particularly care for his art, but his application of it is brilliant.
Happily, people really enjoyed the places I picked, my professor was like a three year old when we went into Dylan's Candy Bar. He bought a little box of mints for his wife. I didn't buy candy but it was so freezing outside that I bought a cafe au lait. O and on Saturday night, I bought my first ever Starbucks product - Caramel Apple Cider - and I enjoyed it most thoroughly. I've had cravings for more of it - maybe I'll drag Ben to the starbucks with me so I can buy some..hmmm...
O yes and I bought my bestest buddy an excellent birthday present. I'd been getting worried about what to get her, but when I saw it, I thought, "Perfect!" So, Marlen, you can look forward to a beautiful cadeau when you and my daddy pick me up from the airport in less than 10 days.
O, and my one roomie seems to have partially moved out of the apartment this weekend...Disharmony in the apartment makes me kind of sad...

Hysterical
I've been feeling very upset today, just little things will set me off - well, in my head. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I've been going to bed at 7:30 am every night since Sunday. I'll finally get a decent night's sleep tonight.
This morning I managed to get to class on time thanks to Christi, however I was so tired that my brain couldn't process anything, and my speech was kind of slurred. I think the teacher noticed that and probably the slack jawed stare I had on my face and asked me when I went to bed and told me to get some sleep.
I had hoped that I would get a chance to take a nap today, but it took me three hours to do one drawing. I think on a completely energized day, I could get that done in an hour, but the processing time today for my brain (yes, I'm thinking of my brain almost like a computer now) was extremely slow. At least the review went well and the teachers said that I had a very strong project that just needs simplification. That means things can only get easier.
But yes, easily upset today. Easily alarmed, strong mix of emotions that include the need to cry, the need to rage at everything and everyone, etc. I do believe it's hysteria. Maybe I really need to sleep. But I also really want to hang out with Ben...O the dilemma.
O and my sister said in her blog that she has a hard lump on the underside of her jaw. That made me really upset for a few minutes...I really hope it's just an infected lymph node...

Captain Spectacular's Balls
Bush won. Whatever. I don't particularly mind. I'm sorry. I'm a bad young person I guess.
Anyhoo, I went to a children's museum opening last night. It was pretty fun. It made me feel like my childhood was really deprived because I had nothing like that place when I was small. I had...books...and...a jump rope...o wait, I broke my jump rope. I had books. Well, anyway, to continue, I look at my baby cousin, Ling, and she has tons of toys, dollies a toy kitchen. I never had a toy kitchen. I had a toy frying pan and a toy fried egg and that was about it. She had fricken toy croissants...On one hand that sort of sucks, on the other, my imagination as a child was ever so much better than Ling's. I'll bet it never occurred to her that a hula hoop could be a pretend bathtub. Hah!
Well, at the museum there were people doing performances - I suppose they were all people who would be performing regularly at the little theater. One was a juggler, very impressive. Then came Captain Spectacular, or Galactica or Scholactica, whatever it is. He and his sidekick goggles decided to put on a show. Captain Spectacular was impressively decked out in a silver body suit with metallic diapers over it. His show consisted of playing with balls. I thought that was very amusing in my mind, and he and goggles should really keep their day job.
I also met one of the freshmen archis yesterday - "Call me Cookie," he said. Wow, I don't even call my boyfriend cookie, but okay. He's one of the three openly homosexual males in the freshmen class. I recalled a conversation some of the second years were having a while back about how there aren't any homosexuals in our class, and now that I think of it, it's true. All the other years have at least one gay person, we have zero. How odd. O well.
I have to go back to my work now - I'm designing an museum annex for Rachel Whiteread - I've got a really cool idea and I think it will look awesome as soon as I've figured out the logistics. I think I'll do that tonight and put it all together tomorrow - I've decided I don't like being in studio at night.
