  • "To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." -Anatole France

    Things I want to do before I die (goals may be added, may be erased in case of realization of "oh crap, that's a tad impossible", and may be helped achieved through the help of friends because i can't do it all on my own.  :D   In fact, any one of these would be THE birthday present. oh hecks yeah.):

    1. Ride a pig.  Put a saddle on that hog and ride it like a horse.

    2. Go to New York City and walk around Times Square.  Maybe I can ride the pig around while touring there.

    3. See (or maybe even own) license plates from all fifty states.  Owning them IS possible without buying a car in every state (which, was in fact, the original plan), I realize.  A gift shop at Las Vegas sold Nevada, and although I lacked the money to buy one, I walked up to the cashier and stated, "I love your store.  Thank you."

    4. Learn to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata or have it played to me.  Yes, just for me.  :D   I'm just that special. I love Phuc so much.

    5. Change at least one person's life.  It's on the verge of being a "cliche," but with good reason.  It's a good goal to have.

    6. Save one person's life.  (Much different from changing one.)

    7. Finish writing one quality novel.  Preferably the Great American Novel of the 21st Century.  What?  A gal can dream.

    8. Work at Albertson's and/or Target at least once.  You read that right.  It's a life goal.  What?  I'm not crazy, I swear. (the fact that i'm answering a question that's not been asked is proving otherwise, however..)

    9. Stay at the MGM Grand at Las Vegas, the Clarence in Dublin, Ireland, and/or (preferably "and") the Nine Zero in Boston.  If none can be achieved, I am happy with being bought a terry bathrobe from the Nine Zero, a shirt from the MGM Grand, and slippers from the Clarence.  =)

    10. Say "I love you" and mean it.  'Nuff said.

    11. To finish a 500 or 1000 piece puzzle!

    12. To go the Alum Rock Park in San Jose. I went there for a field trip in the third grade and have wanted to go back ever since. :3

    nothing much to say, i guess; just the same as all the rest--been tryin' to throw your arms around the world.

  • Hola! Take that, all you French-as-foreign-language-takers.  Pfft.


    (I feel like something NEW!)
    Song of the Day: Nil Lara - Fighting for My Love


    WHOA!  I HAVE A PART IN THE PLAY!  At least maybe (yeah, maybe; i got you excited for nuttin'); I'm the understudy in case if Lysander's not Lysander and they need to rearrange Flute and Snout, so I might be Snout the tinker.  (Read Midsummer's Night Dream?  Then you understand.)  Hey, that sounded a lot less complicated than it did in my head.  >.>; But to be honest, if it forces me out of being Stage Manager, I MIGHT not do it.  Something about the idea of it all; there's a lot more adrenaline in running around backstage telling everyone to get in their places and Damn it! Turn down those lights, there's a show! and be able to watch the show in the far corner of the room, giving a reassuring smile like in those movies than in standing on the stage holding up my fingers to make a chink.  I dunno.  I just relish more in being the backbone than the.. thing that isn't the backbone.  Everyone who knows me knows that.  But tee-hee.  I might be a rude mechanical.


    "He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." St. Matthew 10:39.  Because it demanded to be said.


    It's interesting how fast it can be for some people to fall in love.  Note that I didn't say, "It's interesting how fast it can be for some people to say that they're in love."  Because some people aren't simply throwing around their heart like it was a toy.  They're really in love.  After just two weeks, two days, two dates, I dunno.  Maybe I'm wrong; maybe it's a foolish infatuation ALWAYS and there's never an exception.  I'm in no place to give my opinion on it because I've never been in such a situation.  But I'm free to express my amazement on the topic, because it is amazing.  I criticize and I criticize over people quickly proclaiming 'love', because who can possibly fall in love that quickly?  People do.


    I'm still in complete awe of the world that still teaches me, touching all aspects and ideas.


    But yeah. I believe in love.


    AND WHO WATCHED "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE"?!  Ohhh yyeeeeah, Nick won.  I'm among the kids that stayed up all night voting for Nick on speed dail.  I <3 him.  (damn right, I just used the infamous <3; he's just that fabulous)  I lurve Melody too, and I was so happy that she got at least second.  Yayy!


    I need to start having better themes in entries. I always tend to have entries that are really bizzare; like talking about the amazement of love and then about "So You Think You Can Dance" (where i thought it was simply the COOLEST thing when the host danced, too!  Ryan Seacrest, eat your heart out.) and maybe some about death and then about Larryboy.  Huhm.


    Today's lesson: Talk in the way that you emit sophistication, wit, imagination, worldliness, and humor, but move in the way that the only thing that matters is being YOURSELF--what? what did you say about sophisication, wit.. oh, I forgot the list.  Just go ahead and dance.


    i'm not trying to be a nuisance; i just think we can do better than this.  that was simply my two cents.. take it or leave it.


    Bye for now.
