home is wonderful. i love it!

hahahahaha who would have ever thought i would be saying this given the past entries ive written? its funny how it works. but going away for college is wonderful and makes me appreciate everything i have here a lot more.

i love nice little pittsford and its little bubble i love the erie canal i love old friends i love family i love the sunshine i love the lilac festival and i love that cute little fox i saw running in my backyard just the other day.

i, however, do not love biochem. yikes. please dont be too hard. then maybe i will love you too.

Ping pong is fun. This past sunday was the IM ping pong tourny. So i gathered up a bunch of my buddies for singles and doubles. So these were the teams (i know names mean nothing, so i decided to add pics to go with it! wheeee):
Doubles
Me and Ronny

Mankie and Ying (note, i could not find an image of ying. he loves WoW. and he has a lvl 70 night elf. so this WoW character will represent ying)
 
Xiao and Chang (except Chang slept through it, so Xiao found somebody else to be his partner. i dont know him by name, but i know him by face...so i have no idea where to find a pic of him. but he is a small quiet nerdy little asian man. with glasses. and longish hair. so that description will take place of his picture)

Singles consisted of me Ronny Mankie and Charlie. I was just looking through his facebook and was amused to find this pic as a profile pic. so this pic will serve as Charlie. it kind of looks like him, actually.

Only difference is he also has glasses. And he doesnt look like hes pouting.

Anyways doubles was a disaster. hahah. Ronny and I and Mankie and Ying got out in the first round. yikes. Xiao and his buddy got out either in the 2nd round i believe?

So Ronny and I were angry. and we wanted redemption. So we decided to take it out on our singles opponents. Somewhat.

I ended up beating my first two opponents. Of course, based on the luck of the draw, I then have to play my teammate Charlie, who is way way way better than me. And he eats me alive. He then goes on to lose to Ronny. Ronny then went on to win the whole tourny. Yay Ronny.

School is pretty crazy. Theres a lot of work and little time to do it all. Everybody is kind of tired of it. Everybody wants to just be done with college and go on with their lives. For example:
fire all arms (2:48:49 AM): HOLY SHIT I HATE SCHOOL.
fire all arms (2:50:50 AM): it's-3-am-and-i'm-drawing-benzene-rings
this was IMed to me right as I wrote this. This was written by Xixi.

Then again everybody is like that with every part of their lives. Perhaps people will be happier once the sun starts shining and it stops snowing/raining/being cloudy. It's pretty crazy how weather can affect people. Speaking of which, nice weather (aka 40 degrees with a mix of cloud and sun at this rate) means basketball!!!!!!! I think basketball with my buddies might possibly be the best time in college. I usually like playing with Mankie and Ronny. And Ronny's buddies. And Kristyn and Pavlos. Here is Kristyn and Pavlos

It's kind of fun putting up pictures of all my friends.

My brackets sucked this year. Boo Pittsburgh and Kansas St. for not doing well
_____________________________________________________________________________________

good night kids.

well now that im on break, i suppose i should get on all the stuff thats been going on?

so this big crazy drama incident
just some background information (and btw, im not going to list any names, and using person A, B etc is too hard, so ill just give them names of pokemon, no matter how clownish that may be...and perhaps it will also reflect the absurdity of the whole situation )

bulbasaur charmander and squirtle are talking about pikachu
pikachu is at home working
ill be gyarados, because hes a really big and cool dragon
and ill give the two other guys cool pokemon too: charizard and mewtwo

gyarados is tired of hearing bulbasaur charmander and squirtle talk about pikachu because they talk about pikachu all the time. not only that, they all talk about each other, and also talk about gyardos, charizard, mewtwo, and every other pokemon in the world (great friends, right?) so gyarados goes to mewtwo's suite and mewtwo's just like "yo whatsup." gyarados says "nm, just chillin at ur place cuz bulbasaur charmander and squirtle are talkin about pikachu again." mewtwo says "thats cool." and they chill.

so the stage is set. now comes the story.
pikachu comes back from home at the end of the weekend. mewtwo goes like "so i heard ppl have been trash talkin you!" pikachu says "oh really! what did they say?" and of course the question then gets directed to gyarados -_____- and of course gyarados now has to tell. stupid, really, but no reason to have a cow over it.

pikachu talks to gyarados and charizard about housing next year. gyarados and charizard reconsider the fact that squirtle is a huge drama queen and they dont want to live with squirtle (keep in mind that nothing about housing is set in stone and it is still very early on) so they decide that its prlly not a good idea to live with squirtle, and now need to tell squirtle (this wasnt just a quick discussion, a lot of talking and thought went into this)

pikachu says that she'll tell squirtle cuz she doesnt care. but doesnt really give a direct answer and dances around the question, giving hints. so squirtle comes to gyarados -______- and asks...and when gyarados tells squirtle, squirtle does not take it well and storms off. yikes! squirtle then tells bulbasaur and charmander, who instantly latch onto squirtle's side.

apparently then bulbasaur squirtle charmander and pikachu jawed at each other a bit. and pikachu decides that pikachu and squirtle have to decide this once and for all. they go into a room and "talk." and by talk i mean scream and yell and everything. squirtle leaves the room in tears. gyarados and mewtwo enter the room, seeing what happened. squirtle comes back, sees gyarados and mewtwo, and leave immediately.

mewtwo follows squirtle and says yo squirtle still wants to talk! squirtle doesnt acknowledge mewtwo, and mewtwo gets angry. he yells "youre an immature bitch! this is why nobody wants to live with you!" which is true, but prlly was not the best time to say that. mewtwo leaves. squirtle storms back to the room where gyarados and pikachu still are, and exclaims "are you happy now!?! jigglypuff (another person that we were supposed to live with, who is very cool) is crying now. was that really necessary?" (thinking that pikachu had sent mewtwo) squirtle storms off again.

mewtwo "calms down" and wants to talk again. this time gyarados and mewtwo both go to set things straight. they are met with a slur of not so nice words and mewtwo is again enraged instantly. he says "you know what. go to your fucking room and cry." squirtle is in shock. charmander jumps to squirtle's aid and shrills "we're girls! we cry!" and mewtwo replies "shut the fuck up!" and storms out. gyarados is in shock and just leave afterwards.

afterwards it seems as though bulbasaur squirtle and charmander have to make somewhat of a stand, for one reason or another. they take over the commonroom and make it extremely awkward for whoever passes by. their stares just laser at whoever happens to go from their room (locked) to the bathroom, or out. so its just weird for the next few days.

now comes the weekend. everybody but gyarados charizard and mewtwo leave. its very peaceful. they enjoy their time, but dont know whats going to happen when when everybody comes back. eventually everybody does, but has a fake air to them. theyre all extremely nice to pikachu and everybody else, and pikachu returns the favor. gyarados charizard and mewtwo are confused. just a few days before they were tearing each other apart. but whatever. if they want to be fake and happy, so be it. the end

so whats the moral of the story? there absolutely is none. except maybe to choose your friends wisely. these people that i called my good friends turned out to be these two face not so nice backstabbers who were even willing to put their "closest friends" through so much pain...for what? for drama? was there something wrong with changing my mind? why did bulbasaur and charmander even care? why were they even involved? this whole thing just completely baffles me and was completely unnecessary. all i can say is im glad im gettin away from all this nonsense and i prlly wont ever have to deal with it again. its ridiculous.

i guess going off of that, i was talking to a good highschool friend of mine (jason) and the more we talked, the more we realized that we didnt have the same kind of friendship we did in highschool. this was slightly depressing, because afterall, isnt college the place youre supposed to make lifelong friends that support you and help you in whatever you do (and all that good stuff?) i guess we've both been having some trust issues with the people we've met in college, and unfortunately, its just not the same as highschool. the only thing that i can reason out is that initially in college, we're all thrown into the same situation where we're completely new and lost, so we're more lenient towards one another, as opposed to highschool, where we can really develop genuine friendships with those who we can really trust, and who wont go and backstab you one second, then be there for you the next. it just doesnt work that way.

i remember talking to joyce pan in the car once when we were coming back to rochester, and she was talking about a "sophmore slump" that a lot of people seem to go through in college. this was the first semester of this year, and things seemed to be going really well (and i guess it did) but this semester has just been a drag, and most people have just been really tired of school and unmotivated to do anything, including me. i dont think ive ever wanted to drop out so badly before. like...id really really like to just settle down and get on with life after college...get a job, raise a family, whatever else may happen. i was talking to mazie today, and she was telling me about that too. i guess its very real and still eats away at all of us >.< go away sophmore slump! you are useless and annoying!

its never a good feeling when you fall for somebody whose unavailable, is it. here you are trying your absolute hardest not to, and the more and more you struggle and try, the more and more you like her. i guess its like quicksand, in the wise words of shane falco, from the replacements. its especially bad since its not just because of a set feeling i have for her, she entails the perfect girl, in my eyes. shes smart, pretty, extremely social and outgoing (unlike a lot of ppl at case,) loves having and knows how to have a good time, but at the same time, will be able to hold a serious conversation. well, hopefully, as rubes would say, "this too, shall pass."
