HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--these quiz's are great for the ego (:

Click to take the quiz!
click here to find out which asian action superstar you are!


You are Michelle
Yeo. you are a responsible, nurturing and caring person. you like the romantic
side of life. whether it's

by a british secret agent or a master swordsman. you like it all. you try and
take care of the people

you care about. but sometimes they dont take ur help too kindly. but that's
okay. cause you got it all.

You know, one of the sweetest things my mother taught me was how to make fun of myself. I would be a truly miserable person to be around--and to be, for that matter--if I didn't have this one basic skill. Even when I find myself in the depths of despair, I can generally take the moment lightly enough to laugh at my own melodrama. (:

Begining of stories . . .

I have so many stories of this past week. I wonder how many I should tell . . .

We spent a lot of time in lab and because my computer crashed last Saturday, I had to stay late to finish all my homework ever night. Sunday night we had just finished a bunch of paper stuff and I’d had a nasty busy weekend. I had a 30 minute presentation the next morning. It was one of those where I had to develop some sort of original idea from the course (Eng. 4400, Modern British Satire) and creatively present on it in front of the already brilliant presenters that had gone before me. I wasn’t feeling too good about it since the week had already drained me a little. But Cisco stuck around playing a game and, at intervals, asked if he could help. Finally he just took it over, forcing me to tell him my ideas. We got the most awesome dialogue going and both got really excited! The ideas were born of my originals but the presentation and expansion of them turned out so well!!! I was so excited--It was about Jung’s Psychology of Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious as it applies to Modern British Literature and, more specifically, Satire. Cisco was extremely proud of our work and kept brining it up. (: We had fun fighting over the credit for the project. I dunno though, sometimes it kinda blows my mind!! He’s been a really good friend this semester. ): He and Vieve really encouraged me as far as friendships. I never knew people give so much without expecting or even wanting anything in return but simply because they’re your friend. Until recently, I didn’t realize how much Cisco and I had hung out this year. Another person to miss--grrr

Monday was looong. I had bad experiences that I won’t go into. Yes, I tried hard to do my job and again it was frustrated by many other things. On my way to take care of business I kept thinking I should pray. I did kind of, but I know I didn’t “take care of business” out of as much love as I wanted to. However, I was kind, professional, but--hehe--very determined. Oh, I totally would have gotten my way too, if the person hadn’t then gone to our boss who he has major emotional control of and completely backstab me to her. Besides rudeness, his entire story bordered on lies. I was still kind and professional that night but anna is now getting on me about having “underlying hostilities,” like chris is telling her that I don’t like him and like it’s my fault. Jenn walked out that night and Chris ruined a lot as usual. We sat around at 1 am waiting for him to finish his stories so we could get the paper out.

To come . . .
Why I’m leaving the paper and how I’m leaving the paper. The people I’ll miss.

F's blog . . .

Oh boy . . .

I'm not some sicko that needs emotional upheaval in her life to feel good about herself. I need out of this. My time is up. I'm no good here anymore and if I stay it'll destroy me. I just need to figure out how to get out. I need to do it with the right heart and for the right motives.

I want to cus really loud and then beat someone up--any volunteers?

God, change my heart and let me embrace meekness. Work through me Father. I don't want to try to prove my strength without You ever again. Forgive me!
