it's been so long since i've been back here, i bet no one reads this anymore. (feedback feedback!)

yeah i'm in hong kong, gonna stay till chinese new year. i'll write some more but not right now cuz i've got writers block.

can't een tywpae. tpe. type.

so on friday i went to the columbus museum of art. it's a really cool place actually, they have alot of stuff that they use a very interesting method of showing or teaching kids/adults/weird people like me. i went with jodie and it was really fun. there was also this exhibit of 'tintypes' which is photography that's really really small taken with a really really big camera. what's funny is that they used to take pictures of babies, right? and these pictures needed like 3 to 4 minutes just to take it, so there were mommies or nannies trying to keep the babies sitting upright or something. but since the babies were the main character, they'd use cloth to cover them up and call them 'furniture extension's.'

there was also a very special exhibit also; it was some kinda famous italian glass blower, and we got to see it when the media and press was there!! yay~ they let us go in and look around, and it was so cool.

and then, on saturday we went to the zoo. it was a very very beautiful day, not too hot but not cold. sunny, some clouds but gentle breezes and stuff.. anyway, i took my fully manual camera and it kinda sucked cuz i wanted to get pictures of me, but no one knew how to use it!! damnit people!! learn how to use your cameras, rather than going digital...

that's kinda an update... halloween's coming up. yay~

my first american wedding

i've been to a few weddings before yet those were all chinese weddings. all the traditional procedures, things you can or cannot say must be followed and if anything goes unplanned aunts, moms and other relatives would make a big deal about it.

i was quite nervous to start off with. sure i met nick's parents a few days ago, but this was still different: i was meeting basically his whole family in an environment i was not familiar with. the drive to ironton ohio was quite long and of course it was raining and thunder storming as we left the house around seven. by the time we got out into the country, the weather had settled down and it was quite a smooth drive. as we came closer and closer towards ironton we came across more and more factories that were lit up by individual lights. for some odd reason the way they looked cracked me up, it made me think of plenty other things like the iron giant or a very weird christmas tree. i tried to explain to nick but he didn't get it. i guess if my brother were here he'd be the only one laughing with me.

now we could see the ohio river. though it was dark, the lights reflected off of the water and showed it shyly. the bridges were not lit up, but you could still barely see them with the background of ironton and its factories, whose chimneys flared with yellow and blue flames. nick said that they were burning off the poisonous gas.

yeah sorry about that, wasn't finished yet.

so we went to this church that was in the middle of nowhere, out in the country. well, not really country, i would consider it hills. anyway it was a nice little old place, nothing really exciting about it other than the fact that i was being introduced to all nick's family. the ceremony started and the bride and groom exchanged rings and everything; though all the children were being obnoxious, the bride and groom were really into it and it was really sweet. anyway, the recieption was a little later and we had finger food and i had two long island ice teas.

i know that isn't really interesting, the way i talked about the rest of the wedding, but i guess this headache isn't really helping me at all.

i'm going to take a nap or something. maybe i'll talk about it some more later.

bye guys.

as my party mind starts working, i've got some ideas coming up... okay so i missed mid-autumn festival. i was telling everyone that we should celebrate it (even though those who i told were all white peepo, i mean.. what do they know about the princess and the rabbit on the moon) and then i found out later that it already passed. but.. there's always halloween and after getting my girlfriend jodie that birthday present with all these police equipment things, i have to have a costume party!!! even though it's next month, i'm still getting excited already. i don't know how i'll work it out, but it's gonna happen, PEEPO.

tomorrow morning i'm gonna have to wake up early. like, real early. apparently they need extras for an independent film and my buddy melody and a bunch of peeps are going to go all together to go be their extras in a bar scene. as long as we get to drink, i'm up for it. ;) just kidding. so we have to go to dayton, ohio and do it, but they're driving (i think) or something's happening. anyway, i'm quite excited.

so now nick works everyday i don't work, and i work everyday he has off. what's the deal with that? it's not like we get to do stuff and what's worse is that i go to his softball games (i've been trying to learn softball) and all i can do is just sit there and watch. that's the reason why i don't like watching games, cuz i want to play them myself and i hate the feeling that i can't. now, how am i going to learn how to play when we never can find time?

had a long talk with my sister. i think it's giving me a headache. well... we were at first talking about how her life is so stressed out. then we kinda moved from her to why i want to claim the basement and that it bothers her that i want to have my own space. ummmm.... i didn't know what to tell her or how to explain to her that it's not that i don't want to share, it's just that i don't really feel like i have any say in the first floor and when i have people over we go into my room anyway... i don't know. i'm a very territorial person and i like keeping my things all in one place?? i don't know how to explain it. she was just like, "you've never had to share, you've always gotten your way.....blah blah blah" so basically that means i'm a spoiled brat and should 'mold' into her life too. dude, that's what i'm doing!! i dunno.. i mean, for anyone who lives with someone else, who has a roommate, don't you kinda claim your own space? your room, or a bathroom or... i mean of course there is public area, but then ...... i dunno. am i really being selfish? am i really that spoiled?? (i know i am to a certain degree. my life has been easy according to many people) ?????????

conclusion:

i'm as lost as you are. so what now?

so the fire department came over today, cuz our ADT fire alarm was going off. it's been bonkers for the past few months. it's been a really interesting morning, of course.

i can't believe school's starting next week. another week of school... what pisses me off is how everything's full.... and that i found out that i didn't have to take as many classes as they told me to take since i'm transfering and not getting a degree. that bullshit ENG 190 freshman experience whatever class is history (which is good cuz don't have to pay and waste my time) and now i get to choose from classical mythology and philosophy in replace of humanities. yay!! i can even go for theatre or music if i wanted to. that's going to be fun. i am going to have to get my act together though, have to get better grades this qtr, though i should be taking BIO and marketing still, but adding ENG 111 after school has started for a class at 7:00, which really really sucks but i can't get it to fit into any other time schedule for me... and i really hate this feeling that i can't get into any of the classes that i want to since i still haven't completed that stupid course. i'm glad that it's writing though, cuz i do like it.

so luke's going to help me build my computer. i'm really excited and cant' wait to actually have my own. not having to share with someone else is really a big deal you know, i mean, i can actually play RPG games and get addicted, or play rollercoaster tycoon or something..

anyway, i've gotta go. it's getting late. have fun y'all.
