i'm looking...

i like parties and politics? o_O !

liberalism...

You Are a New School Democrat

You like partying and politics - and are likely to be young and affluent. You're less religious, traditional, and uptight than most Democrats. Smoking pot, homosexuality, and gambling are all okay in your book. You prefer that the government help people take care of themselves.

What political persuasion are you?

would ya look at that

You Are a Liberal Republican

When you tell people that you're Republican, they rarely believe you. That's because you're socially liberal - likely pro-choice and pro-gay rights. You're also not so afraid of big goverment, as long as it benefits people and not politicians. You are the most likely of any Republican type to swing over to the Democrat side sometimes.

What political persuasion are you?

I guess this relects that I'm usually in the middle of things and rarely in extremes.

happy the day after thanksgiving

thanks everyone, for a crazy (but fun) day. ^_^

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!

susan, i just wanted to say that i can't comment on your blog posts for some reason. when i click on comments it takes me to a blog page that says the url could not be found or something, maybe it's the new layout's fault?

anyways, for the lecture thingies I think i wanna go to the cosmos one :)

alright

i'm pretty sure i can bring a six can of soda. safeway select.

victoria's xanga is scary. O_o violent tendencies? it took me a few seconds to process what it was and a few more to come to terms with the word "yummy" beside it. "only victoria..." ...agreed. o_-

ok, since..

..some ppl were asking me what to bring, i decided to put this here-
I am apparently low on sodas and stuff. so if there's any drinks you like, you can bring that. I have a couple of cans of pepsi (caffein-free, i think)

all right, see you guys friday. yes, 10 am. you won't be penalized for being late. not too severely anyway ;)

erk

to lucy:
*cough* i knew it was victoria who was paranoid and i knew it was about the mad cow disease [all the bio classes had the same set of topics last year to study for], hence my semi-joking become-a-vegetarian thing. the "why hotdog" was meant more as a "why not sandwiches or burgers" sort of question, but it's fine.

i'm bringing fantasia. and cookies. and we're meeting at lucy's place at 10 00am on friday? yes?

by the way, i've started posting again in my blog. just thought you'd like to know.

to susan

i don't care if it's beef or chicken, but victoria's been paranoid since last year remember? (well, she's been paranoid since birth. i meant paranoid about mad cow disease ;P ). And there's only one kind of hot dog, the onther one u described is "corn dogs".
and it changed from pizza because pizza's just so.. well, overused i guess. Kate wanted something different, and I agreed.

dogs

to ashley:
you can't "add on" per se to other people's posts unless you're an administrator, you have to make a new post. you can add comments to posts i suppose if we allow it and if i go and change the current layout so it's comment-compatible.
should i? (just don't expect me to do it today or tomorrow).

to lucy:
why hotdogs? (first of all, i forgot why it's "dogs" again). and chicken? they may have mad cow disease but just last year the fowls have developed this weird disease too and the fishes have pollution problems and so if you want to be very very safe i suggest becoming a vegetarian.
digressions. anyway what i started out meaning to ask was is the hotdogs going to be hotdog as in sausage-between-a-folded-bit-of-bread or is it going to be hotdog as in sausage-dipped-in-batter-on-a-stick.

by the way, don't hold me up on the vegetarian thing. they use hormone and chemical fertilizers and i don't know exactly what kind. O_- geeky yes?

changes

main food has been changed to hot dogs (don't worry vicotoria, it'll be chicken) and corn. we'll grill both. sounds more fun than pizza, no?

go check your emails NOW

hehe, i just sent a big fat email concerning movie day. GO READ IT.

: [

aw, susan, i'm really sorry : [
I didn't expect you to give up now, when it's almost over! But I guess you realized that you're not going to finish..
You know, you could always put in what you already have, since you weren't making changes that big anyway, and then you can still revise it. I dunno, it's your work and your decision.

taken from my ptc blog:

Okay, I have concluded that I must drop at least one of my five on going projects or suffer from a nervous breakdown. This occured to me yesterday because I got sick and I felt so tired and stressed that I wanted to cry. So, I am going to drop out of the NaNoWriMo, and hopefully recover enough so I don't botch up all five of my projects.

The choice, then, is whether or not I should delete this blog and finish my story on my own, or continue to update the story at my own speed.

---

>_< yep i gave up on that. maybe i'll try another year when i'm not doing so many things at the same time. too many looming deadlines!!! arg!

meanwhile, this means i'll be updating my own blog again...as soon as i recover enough. [mass cramming the next two days to stay on schedule] -_-'

hmm

ashley, can you read this right now?

no food preference really. except i should mention that i went to safeway with my mother today and saw malvina there! i got two packages of cookies for movies' day. that's for sweets.

i don't exactly have any videos either.

:)

yea, i was gonna suggest inviting ashley myself :]

..asking for the last time, any food preferences?

as promised..

as promised, i am making a post here to let anna know that i have recieved a notice (small postcard) from stanford which said that they have recieved all my app stuff.

to quote mr.a: "happy?"

three posts in a row. erk.

?

why's it that everyone'd stopped posting?

^^

yay for treasure planet! it's very rare that susan actually says she wants to watch something and then watchs it within the same year.

as for the blog... IT'S ALIVE! [insert zombie music here]

i can bring something sweet, but i'll check first this weekend when my parent goes grocery shopping. as for the "formal" food yeah it's a good idea to have finger food ...like hotdogs or sandwiches *cough*. we should start a sign up list this weekend, in this blog, as a list to see who's bringing what so we won't end up bringing the same things.

BOUNCE

*sheds a tear of happiness* I'm so *sob* so *sob* proud *sob*! So many *sob* posts in one day! The blog is coming back to life :)
Ok, I agree about the Treasure Planet. The next step is seeing if anybody actually own any of those movies. Yes? No? I know I don't so sorry, but if we run out of things to watch I can always dig out something old and not necessarily too exciting, but watchable. Right-o.

About food- no, I don't want any contribution in terms of the "main dish" (if you can call it that). We still didn't decide what it is going to be tho.. Seems like most ppl will be happy with the pizza though. Plus with the hot dogs, Malvina's kind of singled out, soo.. I can also get cake, unless somebody else is. *grin*

Movie Day

Hi

I'm the blog.
I'm sad.
Nobody likes me.
Nobody wants to write in here.
I've been left to die.
Thank you.

nice to see my chinese lineage coming through...

*cough*


You were Confucius!

Your life began in 551 B.C. in the
Chinese village of Zou. You worked as a
teacher until age 35, when you became advisor
to the exiled Duke Zhou for a time. Later you
became a magistrate and even the Grand Minister
of Justice of Lu Province for a time. After a
while, you took to wandering with your handful
of disciples and unfortunately found that
high-ranking nobles in many courts were
plotting to have you killed. You continued,
however, to speak on morality and honesty until
you finally retired and spent your remaining
days writing. You died at the age of
72.


Which Leader Were You in a Past Life?
brought to you by Quizilla

funny quiz

You were Gandhi!

You led a life of non-violent and
highly effective protest. People were in awe
of your example and followed it. Because of
your actions, the nation of India won its
independence from the mighty British Empire
without ever firing a single shot.
Unfortunately, your life came to a sudden and
violent end when an assassin shot you in 1948.
The nation, indeed the world, mourned your
passing.
