basketball fatigue

phew, i'm tired today. i played all the games during basketball hour, and there was a lot of running around. i consistently made some jumpers, so i feel better about my game. i just can't create my own shot, which is sort of lame.

so now, i'm all stocked up my cube. one bag of gummy peach rings, one can of dr pepper, and two boxes of vitasoy. it should keep me busy for a while. :)

looking back on the self-pity "i don't have enough friends" rant i wrote earlier, i think i'm just sad at alan and ting moving out. and i just think it would be nice to be surrounded by love again, sort of like the way it was during college. oh well.

my cubicle mate next door lost my calculator. :( i hope it turns up somewhere.

gummy peach rings and dr pepper taste weird together. it's sort of orange-y.

i was very happy that i took a dump today. seeing as how i had gone over half a week without any excretion, i welcomed the challenge of pushing out two sizable logs out of my ass and into the toilet bowl. *claps*

these days, i wake up with a bunch of really thick yellow phlegm (chewy!) stuck in the back of my throat. i feel them rattle in my throat when i cough, and i usually hack them up while i'm driving and spit them out when i'm stopped at a red light. i wonder what's causing all this massive buildup.

i am officially down to using two of my three blankets. yup, it's two layers from her on out through the summer. the third layer is the thickest (it's a cloth sleeping bag), so i have to admit that last night it got just a tad chilly for only two layers, but at least i'm not sweating when i'm trying to sleep.

i am really excited about _star wars III_. i've heard that it's decent, and i just want to see how anakin gets pissed off and starts kicking jedi ass. :) i am looking forward to seeing it. (despite its cheesiness, i saw the last one three times in the theaters, including the midnight showing.)

this weekend's going to be eventful. i have three events that i can go to on saturday night, but the shame is that i can't be at three places at once. one of my friends is doing the AASA fashion show at stanford, another is having a going away party (good luck in china, jason!), and the third thing is the erasure concert, which i already had tickets for.

speaking of jason, i am very envious that he has the courage to just pack up his life here in sunny cali and move to china. mallory's been bugging me about making such a drastic change in my life to shock my stagnant system. but i just can't picture me leaving here. after all, this is where my friends are, and i'm not the type to just go out and meet people in china, you know?

anyways, it's past 5pm, so i better get this post wrapped up.

circle of friends

every once in a while (like today), i get really jealous about people who have a gazillion friends. you know, they're the type of people who can send out an evite armed with well over a hundred names in the guestlist. how did these people get so popular? fuck, i don't think i can even come up with 30 names of people who i would consider friends.

sigh. *frown*

i don't know how i got this way. maybe my parents didn't push me to be social when i was growing up. when do our social selves grow and mature? whenever that may be, i am positive that i didn't exercise that part of my personality until much, much later (if ever).

ok, so you may say that these people with the massive evite lists would most like admit that many of the friendships are very superficial, but still... i am jealous nevertheless.

this isn't to say that i take my small group of friends for granted. i love each of them dearly, and the paucity of friends makes me cling to them even tighter. and this is why i get so sad when a member of my circle gets married, because that means that they're inevitably going to disappear into a sphere of two.

ok, that's enough self-pity for the day.
