chu_totoroSat school was a bore. No one there I recognized 'cept Jamie Pak (violinist), but I talked to the other people and got along fairly well with them. Everyone there was for tardies. What a pointless punishment.
Woke up 7:40, spent time waking Amy up, was almost late but got there in time. No breakfast, though.
Ate a few cupcakes during break. Gacked them off the refreshment table in the gym for the girl's basketball team. The two guys who went with me 'coz they wanted food ended up being too wimpy and wishy-washy to take any.
... it really. irritates me. When people waver a lot. Like, they want to go, so they say they'll go. Then they change their mind. And then again. And then again... blahblahblah etc basically HESITATION. Until it's too late to take action. That just annoys the hell out of me. Don't ask why it does because I don't know. But it's like, if you want it enough, just GO and get it, and if you're not going to go get any, then just DON'T. Stop standing there and wavering.
rebbyaon: but there is trouble!
rebbyaon: is the amount of calories you expend worth the measly bit of processed wheat?/
.......
-___- Okay, you have to think things through before a decision, but you can't think about things TOO much. Geez.
Well, that's kind of a different matter entirely. These guys just couldn't work up the NERVE. Which was ridiculous, because although no one gave ages, I'm sure they were all older than me. I bet they didn't think I was a freshman. XP Cowardly people. They were too TIMID. It almost makes me want to laugh.
No one... has the courage to do anything. That's what I noticed. The librarian person told us to sit in front of the computers. Well, there was no space to work there. And the chair was uncomfortable. So I move to the ground and read sitting against a wall. But it wasn't the best place. Not what I want. So I go further into the library and find a cozy little niche to read in. And later when we moved to the tutorial center I got tired of my chair so I moved to the sofa. No one else has the NERVE to do it. Not until I do it first, at any rate. I don't get it. NO one except me goes around doing what they damn well WANT to do. The librarian isn't that scary. He's actually a nice guy, if you talk to him. We're all human here, you know. But does anyone talk to him besides me? No. Well yes, they talk to him. But not like... casual conversation, really.
It's... so weird. But then, if I really think about it, it doesn't actually bug me too much. Not like being wavery. Well see, in the end, it doesn't really matter to me. Because well, I go around doing what I like. So. I get to eat the cupcakes, and I get to sit where I want and do what I want (within reasonable limits) while they... don't. The librarian only has as much authority as you give him, you know. Well, know where to draw the line. Don't get yourself a suspension or anything, but really, you don't have to sit where he tells you to. Actually that depends on who you're dealing with. But observe, and act within reasonable limits, and you CAN go around doing what you want. Except no one does. Like, everyone lacks nerves. ... well, whatever.
Eh I used to be more like them. But I was always kind of like this. As in, when all the lights went dark in our hotel room and my cousins freaked out and hid under the bed and refused to do anything, I was the only one who bothered to call maintenance for help. But I'm like that too. Sometimes. Whee so I'm being hypocritical. Whatever. I ranted everything out now, so I'm not annoyed anymore. XP
Edit: Aah! .___. My perception of the word "fweet" has changed forever oh no~
Edit: Taiwanese ambassador thing! I went to this boring asian ladies socializing thing today and sat through 3 hours with BAD food and LOUD noise and all that icky stuff for $100. (Award for my Chinese essay.) The only thing that made it worthwhile was this speech that the Taiwanese ambassador gave. He's an excellent speaker. He has a sense of humor too, unlike most. He told interesting stories that I thought would be worth a save. Except, I'm too lazy to type it out. So I'm copy-and-pasting this from my AIM conversation, just for storage. XD
daydreamluvaxX: so, what'd everyone do today?
thethirdChang: ooh
thethirdChang: I listened to this taiwanese person
thethirdChang: govnr of taizhong?
thethirdChang: give a speech!
daydreamluvaxX: oooh
daydreamluvaxX: cool cool!
thethirdChang: and it was an interesting speech
thethirdChang: unlike most
daydreamluvaxX: what was it about?
thethirdChang: he told about being an ambassador
daydreamluvaxX: oh
daydreamluvaxX: awesome
thethirdChang: and dealing with the american ambassador
thethirdChang: they made him wait 3 hrs
thethirdChang: and his servant was like
thethirdChang: ..... we should just go
thethirdChang: stupid people
thethirdChang: and he's like, no, stay, just watch, it's for the good of taiwan
thethirdChang: now he'll REMEMBER
thethirdChang: that I waited 3 hours for him
thethirdChang: and if I ask him to do anything next time
thethirdChang: they'll do anything they can
rebbyaon: - -ll
rebbyaon: ...but its taiwan...
thethirdChang: oh, and the next time
thethirdChang: they met and talked
thethirdChang: but every 5 mins there would be a call
thethirdChang: and the US guy would leave for several mins
thethirdChang: come back
thethirdChang: 5 mins later call again
thethirdChang: until the guy was like
thethirdChang: sorry, my son was married yesterday
thethirdChang: he's on his honeymoon! so he keeps calling me
thethirdChang: and I'm obliged to talk to him! and give him advice!
thethirdChang: and the taiwanese guy asks
thethirdChang: Excuse me, Mr. Ambassador, but why didn't you teach your son what he needed to know... BEFORE he left for his honeymoon?
thethirdChang: hah dead now?
thethirdChang: I brb then
daydreamluvaxX: wah?
rebbyaon: ...what does he need to know for a honeymoon
ThereBeYe: we're waiting for the end of the story
thethirdChang: ...
thethirdChang: don't ask me
thethirdChang: maybe he's having problems with his new wife
thethirdChang: and needs advice
rebbyaon: *koff*
thethirdChang: ...
thethirdChang: hmm what else
thethirdChang: ...
thethirdChang: oh, he was invited (kinda) to go to this public thing? where there were like lotsa ambassadors and stuff!
thethirdChang: and it cost $1000
thethirdChang: I think they were there to listen to someone give a speech
thethirdChang: and he got the worst seat in a corner!
thethirdChang: where you couldn't see the speaker!
ThereBeYe: lots of love for taiwan
thethirdChang: ... and then they had like this thing of introductions for each of the ambassadors
thethirdChang: and he's a good speaker. ... a VERY good speaker
thethirdChang: so he was all prepared and stuff
thethirdChang: except he's like last because he's in the corner
thethirdChang: so he waits, and waits
thethirdChang: and then, they skip him!
thethirdChang: .... and move on to like advertising companies representative
thethirdChang: (like macdonalds)
rebbyaon: - -ll i feel sorry for taiwan ambassadors
thethirdChang: so he's stuck there
thethirdChang: and to the end of the intros, he doesn't get any recognition
thethirdChang: and he's like "... if I don't make myself known to ANYONE, I've wasted the $1000 today"
daydreamluvaxX: ...that's so sad ;.;
daydreamluvaxX: neh, gonna go to bed now
daydreamluvaxX: nite ntie
daydreamluvaxX: *nite nite
thethirdChang: bye
daydreamluvaxX has left the chat room.
thethirdChang: whee so
thethirdChang: he asks his wife if she'll go up with him
thethirdChang: to make toasts! because that's like chinese tradition right
thethirdChang: and his wife is like "... look around. do you see ANYONE making toasts?"
thethirdChang: so basically, she doesn't go
thethirdChang: so he grabs like prime minister or some other taiwanese official
thethirdChang: .... and they take their glasses
thethirdChang: and march up to the first table
thethirdChang: and
thethirdChang: everyone is watching them!
thethirdChang: because like everyone is sitting down
ThereBeYe: do they even know he's an ambassador?
thethirdChang: and they just suddenly got up and started tromping across the room
thethirdChang: some do
thethirdChang: so people start to talk
thethirdChang: like psst who's that. oh that's the taiwanese ambassador. blahblahblah
thethirdChang: and he uh
thethirdChang: makes himself known
thethirdChang: and there's a guy at the table who knows him
thethirdChang: and greets him
thethirdChang: and talks about stuff
thethirdChang: and kinda helps introduce him to the rest of the table
thethirdChang: so then he stays there and makes conversation for like 5 minutes
thethirdChang: and talks a bunch before going back
thethirdChang: so in the end
thethirdChang: he not only got 5 mins for introducing himself instead of 1
thethirdChang: EVERYBODY was paying attention when he did it
thethirdChang: XD
rebbyaon: whether it was a good or bad impression is not known though...
thethirdChang: yay taiwan!
rebbyaon: in any case, sleep is needed because it is late
rebbyaon: so goodnight all
thethirdChang: well
thethirdChang: part of the impression was
thethirdChang: ... don't screw around with taiwan. they won't take it.
thethirdChang: XD
rebbyaon: - -kk
rebbyaon: or that
thethirdChang: and goodnight~
rebbyaon: "taiwan is so desperate to get recognized"
thethirdChang: wow it's almost 1
rebbyaon has left the chat room.
pumyAON: ...
pumyAON: delmo should be shot
pumyAON: I officially renounce my subservience to delmo XD
thethirdChang: haha
thethirdChang: I proved him wrong in the IM
thethirdChang: so all is well XD
ekokitten: so now who are you subservient to?
I admire that guy for his nerve. And having the guts to do what he wants to do. .... heyy that kinda correlates to my rant above. Hahaha.
We also had very interesting AIM stories tonight. Louis and Del wrote Alex//Eliza bad!porn. Mel said she would post it sometime. I'll leave it to her. It's 1 AM. x.o Time for bed.
