Maybe Tomorrow: The Last Day
Array I present to you a one month recap written in the style of the page in The Sound and the Fury that I stopped on last night.Right after the last blog post we headed to New Orleans for my sisters wedding Had a pretty good time while there The day of sport was fun starting with golf with the family at Timberlan then onto the first event of the bachelor party the softball gamme followed by bowling at Rock N Bowl My uncle’s theater room is awesome Is it a rule that all bachelor parties wind up on Bourbon even if that isn’t the intent The wedding stuff all turned out well It was funny that I stayed with Melissa’s parents and she stayed with mine Really like the view at the rehearsal dinner Why can’t I give a good speech without crying The ceremony went well Man I wish I had enough money to buy the Donner Lodge Andy’s friends really are muscial Boy was it hot Cassie sure likes that dress We stayed in town the next week to be around after Joan’s scheduled surgury I got to work from home that week which really just meant too much time at PJs using the wireless and drinking too much coffee Was nice to visit with people like Fritz and spend time with Isabell Spent the next weekend in Houston for Lizzi’s 2nd birthday party She really is getting old It’s weird when a two year old asks you the color of something and you have to say you don’t know Swing set take a long time to put together Had a four day weekend memorial day weekend and turned it into the week of movies I think we say a movie of some kind every day And on Monday we watched all three Lord of the Rings movies, the long ones Got to play golf with Taylor’s dad and had my best ever round of 95 Saw the new Star Wars somewhere in there, twice in fact, and watched I and II at the house courtesy of Netflix What else Watched a UT baseball game Spent time in Austin with the usual suspects Taylor and Carrie’s pool is getting some use Oh and the LAN party That was last weekend Had a good number of people there and it all went well People seemed to have a good time We didn’t blow any fuses and the temp didn’t get above 81 but the house was a cool 60 that morning
This seems to be an obligatory post for all bloggers. So here goes. I’ll try not to repeat things I’ve talked about in other posts.1. Washington DC is my favorite city of all time, ever.2. My favorite meal is a virgin Pina Colada, Tom Yum Goong soup, and Pad Thai Jae from Neisha Thai. I haven’t had this meal in almost 3 years.3. My mother is a naturalized U.S. citizen.4. I have played the piano since I was 3. Unfortunately, I am not as good as you might think, given 24 years of piano playing (some years consist of hardly any playing at all, which is also unfortunate)5. My favorite book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen6. Despite my atrocious math background, I was chosen to be in the honors program at college.7. I got kicked out of the honors program 1 semester before graduation because my GPA was too low.8. My husband and I have 2 apartments.9. I am a bleeding heart liberal.10. I like to watch Barefoot Contessa while working out at the gym. Ironic, no?11. I took a semester off in college b/c I was extremely depressed.12. I am a dog person.13. My favorite movie is The Remains of the Day.14. I’m not sure if this record has been broken, but I was the youngest person ever in my county to get a library card.15. I own a Nissan Altima.16. My wildest dream is to be an opera singer.17. I used to play air violin as a child, and would still like to learn to play for real.18. I love foreign movies.19. I am mildly allergic to cats20. My parents almost split up when I was 11.21. Everyone has a type. My type is nerdy.22. I loved living alone.23. My hair is straight and brown, with a few gray hairs that I pull out the second I see them.24. I competed in the Miss America pageant at the state level (meaning that I won a local pageant and went on to compete for Miss State, which I didn’t win.)25. I knew one of the girls from the first season of America’s Next Top Model.26. I had a finance class with an Olympic athlete and the son of one of the nation’s most famous billionaires.27. I know I’ve talked about it in previous posts, but it’s such an important part of who I am that I have to repeat it. My best friend was killed in a car accident.28. I am a feminist.29. I have been married for almost a year- it will be a year in about a week and a half!30. I could probably eat fudge and/or maple sugar all day long, if I didn’t know how horrible it is for you.31. I went to a private, all-girls school from pre-k through high school. 14 years.32. My best girlfriend in high school stabbed me in the back. We’re no longer friends.33. I love weddings.34. I post on multiple internet boards.35. I am an expert on using self-tanner. (thanks to my pageant days)36. I learned copperplate calligraphy to address my wedding invitations.37. I can name just about every celebrity from my hometown, to the point that my college roommate used to make fun of me.38. I drink lots of tea. My favorite tea is Lapsang Soushong.39. I saw going away to college as my only way to get away from parental control.40. I have never tried illegal drugs of any kind.41. I have tried cigars, though, but didn’t inhale smoke into my lungs- just puffed on them.42. I don’t eat pork, unless it’s in bacon form.43. I am a slight overpronator (this is a running term- it means my feet roll inward)44. I can drive a stick-shift.45. I do all my own waxing.46. I have always liked butterflies, since I was a toddler. I liked them so much that my mom had butterflies drawn on my birthday cake on my first birthday.47. I took a Cusinart food processor as carryon on a flight once. This was before 9/11, obviously. I found out from my mom that when my grandmother immigrated to the US around 1970, she also carried on her food processor for the international flight.48. I still miss our dog, who died only a couple of months before my best friend.49. The best month of my life in terms of number of good things that happened to me was October 1997.50. I am a member of the oldest continuously-existing literary society in the U.S.51. I majored in Marketing.52. I was this close to minoring in Religious Studies.53. My favorite TV show was The West Wing. It’s sucked a lot in the last few years, but I haven’t really found a replacement, and I love Allison Janney so much, I can’t quit watching.54. I used to be a rabid fan of Days of Our Lives.55. I think my most prized possession is my engagement ring. Even more so than my grandmother’s wedding band.56. I once dated a guy who told me that I was the only girl he had ever dated that had never had an eating disorder or a stalker. Okaaaaaaaay.57. Most days, I don’t think I’ll make it out of the Ph.D. program with a diploma.58. I sometimes wish my husband wasn’t going into academia, solely for financial reasons.59. Male TV personality I’d most like to hook up with, if neither one of us were married: Jon Stewart60. Sometimes I wish I could go blonde and have it actually not look horrible on me.61. I once had a pair of diamond earrings. They went missing somewhere in my parents’ house, and we never found them. Stolen? We’re not sure.62. King of the Hill reminds me of my dad.63. You know I knit, but did you know that I’m also a natural fiber snob?64. I think bunnies, mice, and hamsters are cute.65. I hate washing dishes.66. I have a sister who is 20 months younger than I am.67. I am a terrible procrastinator.68. I am not athletic at all, and only work out for health reasons. I do not enjoy it, and would rather be knitting, or doing something else more fun.69. I did run a 5K once.70. I took five years of Latin in high school, and that was what I used to fulfill my language requirement at college.71. I used to test software for a living.72. My scariest moment was 9/11. I was living in DC at the time, and working in a government agency just a few miles from the Pentagon. You just didn’t know what was going to happen next, and even driving home was scary.73. When I donate money to charity, I donate to public broadcasting and to my alma maters (secondary school and college).74. Foreign countries I have been to: Canada, England, France, Hong Kong. I have also been to Japan, but this was due to an unfortunate flight delay on the way to HK, and subsequent overnight stay in the Narita Airport Radisson.75. I have lived in the midwest, the south, the northeast, and the west coast.76. My favorite kind of underwear is GapBody.77. I hate moving more than almost anything.78. My favorite color is blue.79. I am a terrible procrastinator.80. My favorite dessert is creme brulee.81. I used to have an apartment of really nice furnishings, and I really miss it.82. I was on antidepressants for 7 months during my first year of grad school.83. I love thunderstorms, as long as I’m inside.84. If I won the lottery, I’d pay off my parents’ house, pay for their planned remodeling, and set up scholarships in my friend’s name at my alma mater (he went to the boys’ school next door, and they really pissed me off, so they’re not getting my money) and at his undergraduate college. I’d probably stay in grad school, but I’d move to a place where we could get a dog.85. Almost all my close friends are from high school.86. I am a good cook, but have started to hate cooking since getting married. I can’t just cook for fun anymore.87. I have loved Saturday Night Live since 7th grade.88. I am not entrepreneurial at all.89. I have a friend in high places.90. I grew up without cable- I didn’t have cable until my sophomore year of college, when it was free in the dorms. I then went without cable for 4 years, with a brief interlude of a few months with my EvilBlackSouledRoommate, when I moved in and she already had it. When she moved out, I went back to not having it, until I moved into on-campus dorms, which then got free cable again. (the free cable sucks, though)91. I cannot remember not being able to read. I could read when I started school at age 3.92. I am working on breaking an in-law hating pattern that my mother has tried her best to instill in me.93. I am always cold.94. I love humidity.95. My first car was a 1986 BMW 528e.96. I love yoga, even though my skills ebb and flow depending on how often I go. (right now, not that often)97. When I was growing up, I LOVED the show Doogie Howser, M.D.98. I am 5′7 tall.99. I have 6 first cousins.100. Tori Amos is one of my favorite musical artists.link
The curry and the pork chop weren’t that nice after all but the CHA SIEW tasted fabulous.After I finished the packet of curry rice at 12.30pm, Kian Sin asked me out for a drink with Han Seng at Hougang Green. He was sleeping and listening to MP3 at the same time.When we came back, we saw Han Seng still sleeping. The lights are still on and Kian Sin asked Han Seng to switch off the light.When the room was dark, accident struck Han Seng. We waited for around 1 hour before the nurse called out Han Seng name for consultation although there’s less than 5 sick people in the room waiting. We waited for another 30min before Han Seng get to see the doctor.The doctor didn’t proceed to stitch the wound back. That’s was farking long, considering he’s the only taking the X-ray at that time.We waited till 7am in the morning and Han Seng still haven’t got his wound stitched back. TAN TOCK SENG HOSPITAL called Han Seng on his handphone seeking his whereabouts.We told the nurse that we went smoking but she told us that she saw us leaving by taxi. We just sent Han Seng back into the ward to have his wound stitched back. Kian Sin and me escaped the accident as it could be me or him getting cut on our chin if we didn’t ask Han Seng to go switch off the light.Strange encounter.

I also completed some new interstate milage, most notably I-81 in PA, all of I-88 (east), all of I-90 in MA, all of I-89 in NH, most of I-93 in MA, and some 3DIs. My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:You scored higher than 25% on MassYou scored higher than 35% on ElectronegYou scored higher than 71% on MetalYou scored higher than 40% on Radioactivity Link: The Which Chemical Element Am I Test written by effataigus on Ok Cupid
Exam Status 6/6This following quiz was stoeln from Vicki’s LJExistentialist81%Materialist81%Modernist75%Cultural Creative63%Postmodernist38%Romanticist31%Idealist31%Fundamentalist19%What is Your World View? I revised during the day, but not very well, then met up with David and hung out with him in the evening. I’m pretty sure I failed that exam, but there’s a good chance I passed the module, if my impaired perfromance form goes through alright.I met up with David after my exam and we got ourselves ready for the meal everyone was attending at some curry place for Rob’s leaving do. Neither David nor I was too keen on the curries we had ordered either. As much as I think it’ll be a bit shit, David really wants me to come, so I said I would. I’ve also promised to be good and not slag Ash off, even though they are shit, especially with bingo wings Charlotte, who also has a rather large nose, on the guitar.
