Assuming that we have spirits that live on after we die, what’s more real – the physical body that dies or the spirit that lives on?
My dad talks about missing me but won’t visit. Odd. The dog catcher came to check out Nina. She’s not vicious. However, we have to get the rash thing taken care of or they’ll put her down. It’s going to be near $400 to start and a lot more after that. He’s not going to pay it.
It rained last night here. I really love the rain. The only bad part about it was that it rained at the house in Long Beach too… nothing was put on the roof (which is still unfinished) so it basically rained through in a lot of spots… and parts of the ceiling fell.
Jamie went to prison but got back out already due to overcrowding. He has to stay in a specific house and has a curfew and shit… but that’s a lot better than prison.
I went to see “I <3 Huckabees" with some friends last night. There's a theater that plays only independent films. It's pretty cool... there are other movies I want to see there. When it was first starting though, I felt really weird... warm, uncomfortable, confused... like something was very wrong. I wasn't really moving, and I felt the urge to jump up and run away but of course didn't. I don't really know how to describe it. It went away eventually though. I've felt like that a little before, but this was much worse.

At around two this morning, I looked out the peep hole at Gemma and Allison’s and noticed two people making out in the hallway. Someone was needed to check who they were, and Gemma had to pee, so she seemed the best candidate. I opened the door for her, but she just stood there. I gave her a little push because… well… maybe she needed to be reminded that she had to go pee or something. She stepped out, said “oh,” and jumped back into the room… and then walked to the bathroom. The guy came over apologizing until he noticed me. He said “wait, why am I apologizing? There’s a guy sleeping in here.” I looked at him as I slowly closed the door. About a minute later, the guy and a friend of his knock at the door. The guy’s friends told him that the room had three girls in it so he feared that he accidently had called one of the girls a guy. I let him know that he was right and that I was, in fact, a guy. He asked me what I was doing here, and I proceeded to explain how Evenstar, being like a two minute walk, was way too far to walk back to. After asking if I was dating one of the girls, he tried to figure out what bed I slept in. It was pretty amusing. Too bad that our antics woke up Rebecca =/

It’s been a few days since I’ve updated. Let’s see… well, Thursday night I went to Gem and Allison’s room to watch Moulin Rouge. That’s an awesome fucking movie. I’ll get it soon. It’s a romantic musical. That night, the three of us were watching people out the window. There were two guys and a girl dancing like they thought they were cool… sort of “gangsta” like… and I think they were dancing to music being played on a cell phone. After they left, some other guys came up. One was holding his shirt in his hand but wearing his jacket. He started undressing like he was showing off, but there were only guys there. Then a skater kept trying to jump a wall. Allison started narating using a crocodile hunter voice or something… and it was amazing. The skater fell off and ended up in the bushes and all his friends go over to look at him. Allison says “watch as the wild skater crashes into a bush! Oh, and his posse decides to go look at him… but not help…” Of course, you’d have to hear it to find it funny, but I was just sitting there shaking because it was so fucking funny.
I think I had a fever last night, but it went away later that night. Maybe it was something else, but I wasn’t feeling great, and I felt so cold. Played uno with a bunch of friends while watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Good times. Speaking of health problems though, the other day I felt this sharp pain in my back, and then I was hardly able to move. I fell onto the ground in my dorm and just laid there for a while. I don’t really know what happened. It went away though.
My mom and brother came over today. I opened a savings account, put a bunch of savings bonds into it, opened a checking account, and put my check from UCI in it. I still owe my mom $250 though. I went to lunch with my mom and James too. She let me have/borrow a bunch of movies. Star Wars, Secret Window, Sleepy Hollow, and a bunch of chick flick / romance / comedies that she figured I’d like and knew Pete wouldn’t want.
When I got home, I spent a few hours doing laundry… went to dinner… and then played some UT2004. Man, my computer takes forever loading up the levels. I don’t know why. It was pretty fucking awesome though. We play with the RPG mod… you gain levels and can increase certain stats such as damage %, rate of fire, etc. It gets fucking crazy. The bots can level too if they’re in use. Then, Will had some shit going with a friend of his who was calling him and IMing him. I don’t know. Anyways, Will’s couch came in today, so a lot of people were hanging out in his room. He has some drawers under his bed with large metal handles. This drunk girl tried getting into his bed and used the handles as a step. Once both feet were on it, the drawer slid open. She fell forward, slammed her head aginst the wall, and then just went to sleep. Some friends dragged her away though. Will didn’t really want anyone throwing up on his bed anyways, lol. There were a lot of fucking people going in and out of there tonight though. It was pretty cool.
And I’m glad all my laundry’s done. I get nice clean sheets tonight. Alright, later.

Man, I’ve been having a great time. I got to get to know most of suitemates on the weekend since my roommates went home. They’re all really cool. Jon set up a dedicated UT2004 server and FTP using his old parts and my old parts. I have a parts sign out sheet now. Hm… cable hooked up to the tv now. It’s nice. Will’s dad is mayor of Palm Springs. Isn’t that awesome? I looked up Zori’s info on the UCI site, and she’s from Palm Springs. Hm… let’s see what else… been meeting friends of people I meet… so now I know even more people. My writing teacher seems nice but… I don’t know about that class. I really like my calculus instructor though. There’s a lot of hw already, but it’s not so bad, I guess. And everyone seems to be going to sleep on me so perhaps I will too.

I’ve been busy. It seems like there are friends and people I know everywhere. We had our hall photos today. I bought an 8×10 formal and an 8×10 non-formal. I finally turned in my health forms. Gemma and I had dinner in Brandywine and then went to cheer Will on in the DDR competition. He did well but didn’t win. Then, we went to her orientation reunion. I went over to Judy and Roda’s. Judy was out, but Alex B. and Allison were there. Later, Judy and Gemma joined us. We talked for a while, making fun of people walking by and other crap, and watched a lot of game shows on Nick GAS. I got back here around 4:20, took a shower, and here I am. Okay, I’m gonna go do some reading.

After eating lunch, my mom, Pete, and James came to give me money, hangers, and a few other things. Jaysen, Toni, and I then went to Target because I wanted to pick up a few things, including Risk: Lord of the Rings edition and Super Mario Bros. for GBA. When we got back, we had to go to a very boring hall meeting.
At 8:50, Judy asked me to stop by so we went to their place. We didn’t know how to get to Mesa Court so we just kind of started walking. We eventually got there but had trouble locating the building. Most of the Mesa Court people were having a scavenger hunt… they were running around everywhere… scary x_x. And we got hit with the sprinklers. But we found Roda and Judy, and I really enjoyed hanging out with them. (Middle Earth > Mesa Court).
I got back to Evenstar to find Gemma playing ping pong here with Warren. We decided to walk down to Jack-in-the-Box for dinner. Warren attempted to rebuild a potato out of fries. It was funny. And then we came back… hung out at her place for a few minutes… and then I got back at 1:50 or so. And I’m tired. Bye.

I have to speculate that God himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay.
I saw Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow last night. I got to the theater first and bought tickets for myself, Gian, and Cheryl. When Chris got there, he bought his ticket and one for Linh-Nam. When Cheryl and Gian got there, they went to buy food so we gave them their tickets and Nam’s ticket, and Chris and I got seats. The movie was good, but I’ll put a review in its own entry.
I saw Jon inside. He didn’t say anything, but he did tap my ass as he walked past me. After the movie, the five us went to Islands for dinner. We ate and then talked for hours.
Come down now, they will say.
We talked about all sorts of stuff after dinner. Perhaps we talked about sex and masturbation a bit too loud. And I was talking racist in front of a black woman. Whoops. I think Cheryl was taking photos of our crotches under the table. She also said she had something I could borrow for my Princess Toadstool costume. I didn’t really understand what it was, but yay! Gian peed once before dinner and twice during. Amazing.
Don’t wake me, I plan on sleeping in.
I had my leg inbetween Nam’s, and then I put my arm around him, but he slid over to get away. I sort of fell over in the seat and tried grabbing his ass so he got all the way out of the booth, pulling me over on my side. I was sort of upside down now, and when I looked up, I was eye level with his crotch. He jumped back. Good times.
“I can’t accept that it’s over and will block the door like a goalie tending the net in the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry so just say how to make it right, and I swear I’ll do my best to comply. Tell me, am I right to think that there could be nothing better than making you my bride and slowly growing old together?” “I feel I must interject here. You’re getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself with these revisions and gaps in history…”
While talking about masturbation, someone came up with going to sperm banks to masturbate. And I demonstrated with a ketchup bottle for Cheryl. Plus, the idea of a “poop buddy” is very amusing. Or maybe just the phrase is. At around 12:45, we left, and Linh-Nam took me back to his place where my dad picked me up. I got home around 1:30, fooled around, and then… wrote this.
It was really nice to spend my last night before UCI with such great friends. It’s funny… I really got a lot closer to the four of them this past year. I’ll miss them. I really hope we don’t drift too much although I know we will. Still… I didn’t see much of them this summer, and we’re still alright. Gian, I’m guessing you’ll read this before Cheryl does so make sure she plans whatever it is she’s planning for October! I’ll miss ya guys.

The power went out last night. Dad didn’t pay the bill. After a lot of confusion between him and the Edison today, the power came on at 4:14 this afternoon. I didn’t have power in my laptop either because the power went out while I was sleeping, and Zot was still on. On the subject of computers, Lambcow still doesn’t work.
