More MySpacings

i got a message from my 7th grade math teacher, mr. punches, who found me on myspace. it was so neat to hear from him (he's married, teaching in middle school near san jose...he wants you to write him if you were in his class too: www.myspace.com/rspunches), but i realized something a bit trippy. it says on his site that he's 38 and that i had him as a teacher 15 years ago...that means he was 23 when he taught me (i can do math, yes). but 23! he seemed so much older and mature at the time. totally different perspective of how i think of 23 year olds now -- those young bucks.

and for those of you who i told that my summer gig is selling ice cream near the santa monica pier from a limegreen cart with pink polkdots...i was kidding. and when i said that i decided on the ice cream business because i'm a lactard and i won't eat my own inventory away...i was joking. and the thing about having a high-tech cart equipped with a laptop so i can take email orders and track my operations better...i was just joshing with you.

i'm really just telling fortunes on the 3rd street promenade. it's good business for bs-ing about someone's love life.

Phew

I cut off a motorcycle cop in the airport parking lot today and got pulled over. I have never been pulled over before, so the siren in the rearview mirror freaked me out. But once he approached me, I tried to turn on the charm as I have always seen in the movies. Oh, he = Mexican copper probably in early 30s...

Cop: “You cut me off. You made that left turn at like 15 miles per hour.”
Me: “Sir. No, it was like 5.”
Cop: “10. And you did not even stop. Didn’t you learn how to turn in traffic school?”
Me: “You were a black motorcycle in a dark parking lot.”
Cop: “That’s why you should be more careful. License please.”
Me: “C’mon. I’ll be careful.”
Cop: “You almost hit me!”
Me: “But I didn’t.” (BIG GRIN)
Cop: “Okay, fine. I won’t give you a ticket this time, but be more cautious.”
Me: “Okay. I guess I should have seen your very shiny white helmet.”
Cop: “Be careful.”
Me: “Thanks! Bye!”

Now that I think about it, I think I was so relieved that I sped down the ramp. Oops.

Only other notable thing was my weird inspiration to get a funky haircut. This is what it looks like:

#3

and you thought i would be writing about d.wade. he was freakin' awesome and i am so glad shaq had a chance to say f u to the lakers and kobe. but what my #3 was really about...

so, according to tina and steph, everyone has a top 5. well, here is my top 5 -- the hearttrobs that have luckily locked in positions on my list and beat out my other favs like mj and tyler florence...

#1: johnny depp
#2: (keeping it open)
#3: phil gordon
#4: richard jefferson
#5: bob costas

anyhoo, i've been keeping away from myspace, but due to some work research, i was forced back in. i noticed today that my #3 (who isn't hosting celebrity poker showdown anymore) has been kindly adding people to his network all this time, so i gave him a little shoutout and an "add me" holler...and he did! i am phil's friend. officially. yay!

oh, and he has frank sinatra playing on this homepage: www.myspace.com/philgordonpoker.

geez, what a hottie.

Obsession ADD

i believe this is the scientific medical term for the condition i suffer from. it's when you're totally engrossed in something for like whole...2 seconds...but for those 2 seconds, you can't be bothered by anything else. i think that's why my blogs are two lines long when people like yuj and lindy can write and write and write. well, at least you get 2 seconds of my geniusness.

i was thinking back to my various obsessions and remembered my nintendo / supernintendo days. remember dr. mario? street fighter ii, nba jam, and oh, mariokart? i suddenly wanted to play these games again, so i ebayed. supernintendo is going for like $40 and the games are like $7 each. i hope my bids win and then i'm challenging you all.

Cough Cough

being sick blows. i don't get sick often, but when i do, the illness gods usually knock me down solid. this weekend, i was supposed to be enjoying my favorite san jo roomy alice get down right silly in a debauchery i call bachelorette party in vegas. yes, SUPPOSED to be. i set out on my journey to vegas but felt so sick that i just ended up at the parentals...crawling into bed ODing on cold meds. cough. i'm still bummed. cough.

so today i took advantage of being stuck at home by watching korea tie france in the world cup match, phil mickelson totally choke and blow a win at the us open, and dwayne wade go nuts to win game 5 in OT....all of course with papa yi. it was father's day, you know. i had to whine about my cold/flu to somebody. wah.

the oddest story on the net today is about dustin diamond (screech powers on saved by the bell) selling t-shirts with his face on them to raise money so he doesn' t lose his house to a foreclosure... i am serious! see for yourself: www.getdshirts.com. so random. where did all the money he made go? he also looks like a bum. shave man, shave.

cough. wah.

La di la

you know when someone who is a horrible singer is like, "do you know this song?" and tries to sing it to you? they try singing it over and over with the same tonedeaf tune, getting more aggrevated by the second because you don't get it...and you're just smiling like an idiot because you have no idea what they're singing but you don't want them to feel like a total idiot for doing an unnecessary song and dance routine for you?

well, that just happened to me by the elevator with some stranger.

after i got a little fed up i said: "oooooooooooooooh, that song."
he replies: "you have no idea what i'm singing, huh?"
me: "no. but it was nice to meet you."

Fighting Korea

there is a great benefit to living in ktown during the world cup season. you just roll out of bed before 6 am and voila, you are at the heart of the party. with free red t-shirts, thundersticks, and ramen, the ktown koreans got together to watch our team beat togo 2-1 this morning. and of course my hottie, ahn, scored:



oh, today is free hog dog on a stick day after 5 pm. good thing are there two stands in walking distance from me and katie. weeeeeee.

Granny Badass

my granny on her cellie...she's so with the times.



random thought #1: i love hot dog on a stick.
rt #2: pshen's im message to me today, "love make people do stupid things"

deep thoughts by pshen.

Marketing Girl

i was at nikki’s med school grad party last night and saw chelsea and christine for the first time since…I think high school. as we were reminiscing about our youth, chelsea suddenly breaks out in the “saujin yi for secretary” chant with the bass drum motion and all. more than the fact that it was hilarious to remember my dorky junior high days, but i realized, i am a natural born marketing chick! I mean, even back then, i realized the importance of branding and repetitive / catchy messages. who needs business school anyway? oh, and here’s a picture of us:



during the course of the night, we befriended a guy who will be a waiter at the french consulate’s bastille day dinner party. we said we will be crashing…anyone want to come with? i just need someone to teach me, “I know a random waiter so please let me in” in french.

as for other news, I finished my last final on friday, and at the after party, there was supposedly an injury to an attendee. this injury, caused by falling off of a ladder, required a visit to the hospital. ahhh, these are the times that make me sad that i’m already half way through this business school experience.

IED

this morning on npr, there were discussing a medical phenomenon called "intermittent explosive disorder," a fancy word for road rage. they said the solution for this problem includes psychotherapy and / or drugs.

WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Reelin' and Dealin'

only about 3 weeks to go for high schoolers to get out of the summer, mama yi claims it's the hardest time of the year for her teaching. either the kids are checked out, suffering from major senioritis, or just plain have no hope of passing the class. so, supposedly she made a deal with her students:

"if you are going to fail anyway and don't want to try, i'll make you a deal. just sit in the back for the last few weeks, be quiet, and i won't bother you if you don't bother me."

she says two of her students promptly moved to the back of the class and they're not problems anymore. i wonder if i can make the same deal for my second year at anderson.

speaking dealin', i went to a stila warehouse sale today with kat and yuj. i followed yuj around as she put stuff in my bag for me...now, all i have to do is figure out what to do with the stuff i got. i mean, where do you put this shimmer bs? what do i want to shimmer up?

Grammar Me

this afternoon, on my way to grab some coffee with yuj, "lonely day" by system of a down plays on the radio. lil sister says, "this song bothers me."

i proceed to ask her why and she says, "if you're going to sing a song, make it proper grammar. 'most loneliest'?!?!? c'mon."

hmm, i've sang along to that song a thousand times and i never even noticed.
