break's been nice and laidback so far--chilled with some cool people i haven't seen in quite a while. don't worry, i'm not going to tell you every little thing i've done because i honestly don't think you'd care. =) although i am almost at my pearl milk tea quota for the week. yum.

i went clubbing with my sister and her friends tonight--now that was interesting. i think i scare people once i tell them i go to stanford. *shrug* oh well. not going to lie and say i go to a community college or anything. dancing was fun and i saw claudia and her sister there =) also discovered that i find masculine-looking guys with very asian eyes to be very attractive, a la rick yune. mmm.

dumdeedum *drumming fingers* waiting for amanda to finish with the shower so i can wash off the club stickiness. bleh. clubbing is not really my thing, but i suppose it's fun once in every long while. i'm just going to be rambling while i wait. you should read enchantment by orson scott card. don't let the pretty fairytale-like cover fool you--it's not your average fantasy novel. card was the one who wrote ender's game anyway (oh, you must read that too if you haven't already). i cracked up when i read the following excerpt from enchantment after ivan runs into a tree branch:

This is what Mother warned me about. I'll get a concussion, I'll fall down in convulsions, and my body won't be found until a dog drags some part of me onto somebody's farm. Probably the circumcised part of me, and they'll have to call in a mohel to identify it. Definitely the boy Itzak Shlomo--on your records as Ivan Petrovich Smetski. A good runner, but apparently not bright enough to look out for trees. Sorry, but he was too stupid to go on living. That's just the way natural selection works. And Father would shake his head and say, He should have been in Israel, where there are no trees.

hehehe...enchantment is about fairytales (baba yaga, sleeping beauty, etc) and judaism and christianity and gods and russia and america and the ninth century and the twentieth century and love and hate and magic and science and good and evil and humanity. i liked.

yay, amanda's done with the shower! i will spare you further inanities.
