Putcho back into it!

1.) People who say they're "complicated."   Sorry to burst ur bubble people, but EVERYONE is complicated.  Even those stupid girls who toss their hair and giggle like hyenas have something going on underneath.   Saying you're complicated either means you don't want to explain yourself to someone, or you simply don't know how.

2.) People who say their "eyes change color."  Oh my god this one has bugged me FOREVER.  Just be honest people, it's the light.  Eyes are not mood rings.  If they happen to look different colors in different light it's because both colors were there to start with!   

I know this post is pretty irrelevant, but I had to say these things somewhere.

Hope everyone is well!!! :)

OK... I feel really dumb for asking, but WHAT IS A CHULO?????  Is it an Hispanic thug?  I think I'm probably the only person in LA that doesn't know the meaning of this word.... maybe I should just go back to 1995, since that seems to be the only language I know how to use...

Hahaha... ya know... I was having a really bad day, and I still kind of am, but at least this made me laugh!

Sorry I don't know how to embed!

Seattle men are hot!!!!!!  What's the deal?  Isn't LA supposed to be like hot central?  Well when I arrived in SEATAC, I discovered that it's moved north...  And white men no less... gosh... what's gotten into me!

Too bad the same isn't true 300  miles east....

Why is this not a more popular form of music?  Honestly, for the short time I learned how to play the guitar, I was told that nylon strings are the enemy, but man, classical guitar is beautiful.  I wish I could find more really good stuff.  If anyone knows any, let me know!  Most of what I have now is Spanish Guitar, but I've heard a couple gorgeous concertos that I can't seem to find....

Anyway, I'm ALMOST done with my first semester of med school, and it's not even funny how LONG ago August seems.  I feel like I've lived lifetimes since then.    I think that's one reason I like school.  I really feel like I'm moving forward in life.  When I was working, everything was stagnant.  Nothing new, nothing changed, but now I'm learning, challenging myself, growing.  I think that's one of the reasons I chose medicine.  I need a profession that always has something new on the horizon.  I'm so excited about the future of medicine.  Learning about the stuff we're on the verge of is so exciting!

Ok... dork again... I'm listening to Sing Sing Sing (the Chips Ahoy Song), and I'm typing to the beat :).   hahaha...

Anyway, also stuff we HAVEN'T learned about!  Like biotechnology.  Administering drugs with smart nanomachines or something... it's all too crazy to fathom... Too Star Trekky :).  I love it!

Simon is coming back for Xmas this year!  I guess he's done it every year, but this year is special since he's pretty much permanently moved to China since August.  How can I keep a relationship like this going you ask?  Well, so do I!  But honestly at this point I can't imagine being with anyone else, so we've got to make it work somehow.  Who knows what the future will bring right?  We seem to be doing ok up to this point.  I'm busy with med school, he's busy with taking over his dad's company, so not like we have much time to think about anything else anyway.  We still miss each other a large amount though.... as should be expecting.  I'm just glad he'll be back for a while.

Das ist alles!  Hope everyone is well, and if I don't write again, Merry xmas!

I'm completely falling in love with Star Trek Voyager.  Not because of all the technology and stuff, but because the characters really do seem real.  The show is so well-written..... One of the few shows/books/movies etc that has made me forget reality and be completely immersed....

So touching.

This is my new theory.  Republicans are totally down for Christmas lights.  Here we are 3 days after Thanksgiving, and my neighborhood, which I am firmly convinced is Bush-loving anti-gay center of California (yes you can imagine my delight around election time where I was surrounded by McCain/Palin/Yes On Prop 8 signs), has already started it's Christmas decoration competitions.  I was driving back from Jamba Juice (my treat for my day of studying), and I was kind of confused as to where I was since my vision isn't so good in my glasses, but like the shining star of David, the blinking Christmas lights led me straight to the street on which I was destined to turn.  Then when I TURN down that street, I see that in one day, the entire street has been lit up like... um... a Christmas tree! :).   It was quite exciting.  It made me laugh though.  It made me feeling like I can handle 3 or 4 more hours of studying action potential propagation and G sub i slash sub o G-protein channels.  So I'm not complaining at all.. I just think it's entertaining.

Anyway... that's my pointless story of the day.  Hope u all are well :)

So I had an interesting dream last night.  I almost never have dreams in which something I want appears, but last night was quite the contrary.  I dreamt about a guy... haha.. mind you, I am still quite happily with Simon, but there is this guy at school that I am completely enamored with.  My first 'straight' crush that I always make fun of my friends for.  But anyway, it was simple, we were rooming together at some sort of DO camp, and, at first, he discovered that I date men and was disgusted, but then a following night, I woke up and he was spooning with me.  That's it.  It was short, but it was very comforting and quite enjoyable.  It was not sexual, nor did I want it to be... it was just... nice.  I think when Simon is away, I crave that sort of touch so much.  Many of you I'm sure can understand.

Anyway, in other news, in case you were wondering, the fires have not affected me at all.  I can see one in Yorba Linda (northeast Orange County) from my house, but other than that and the sky, I don't even know they're happening.  But they sound like they're pretty bad eh?Many  many homes lost.  I feel absolutely terrible for those people, but of course at the same time am quite grateful that it is not me.  I only hope I can stay so lucky for the remainder of my time here in Southern CA.

School is a bitch.  I suppose this should be expected going to medical school, but still school is a bitch!  There is no break at all, and I believe that one of my friends very likely may drop out due to the stress.... I am very sad about it, but she'll be fine, and I hope she starts again next year!  If we're going to be doctors, we all need to find a way to handle our stress, no matter what.

I feel like my posts are more boring these days, don't you?  I feel like my language is more letter-like, as if I were writing to a friend back when people weren't so informal in writing.  I prefer this style, but it certainly does not lend itself well to making jokes.  Which, when I think about it, is very interesting!  Because I now feel myself much more humor-oriented when I socialize with my friends.  I feel like, "hey I can say funny stuff sometimes!" whereas before I was more like, "God I'm lame, but let me write about dog poo on my neighbor's roof on LJ, and I will be funny-redeemed."  It's quite odd, but since I write on LJ every 5 months or so, it should be the preferable way of living no?  Yay for Alex.  Self-evolution is always a good thing.

So I officially (according to me) have high blood pressure.  I measure it pretty consistently, and it comes out to about 145/75 pretty consistently.  Hmm... that sucks.  Damn genes.  Maybe I should inhibitively target my high BP gene and perform some gene knock-out technology!  Yeah!  Would I do it in or ex vivo though?    Hmmm... so much to consider..... God I'm nerdy!

Anyway, I think my blabbering has started, so I suppose it's time to end off.  I'd like to say I'll update more, but I probably won't.  I'm only doing it tonight because I'm avoiding my studies.

I hope everyone is well, and if you have time drop me a line :)

I know I've already POSTED this and all, but I am so freaking excited that SingStar has been bumped UP.  After so many delays, it will finally be here May 20th!!  Life is good!

You know what my favorite word is lately? Preggers. I LOVE this word. It makes me laugh every time I hear it. It's just such a cute word for such an enormous thing! The kind of word for which you could just have your hands stuck in your pocket, rolling back and forth on your feet with a smile and say, "We're waiting to see if she's preggers" and it would be totally fine. What a miracle!

Anyway, other things that have been on my mind lately:

You know how in Austin Powers there's always a girl that has a name that sounds like a private part? Well I was trying to think of names like that. Feel free to add any if you can. The ones I've come up with (very few, but):

Anita Beaver
Anita Johnson (gotta be equal!)
Sook Mi Dong

And that's about it.. I think i had more when I had the actual thought, but I'm drawing a blank. Guess I'm not that creative afterall.

Other than that... I haven't been using my brain at all... Simon is currently in China yukking it up with his friends and family, and I'm here watching all the tv I please. My friend Peter has basically become my new best friend. He's so funny ... and he actually gets my sense of humor, which is pretty rare. He's like the funny version of me.... Asian and all :). hahaha.

I've been thinking of taking a Taiko class, which would be really cool, but I just have so much stuff coming up. I'm going to Mexico in July, and Alaska in June, and now probably a cruise down to Baja CA at the end of April with Mai and Simon. It would be kind of the last hurrah for us three before I head off to med school. I also am just really feeling the cruise itch, so I would have gone regardless.. hahaha.. Anyone else want to go?

I think that's it for me now! This entry was more of a stream-of-thought kind of thing, but I hope you're all well!
