Can't sleep, but it's not because of the bugs! / Quizzes

"can't sleep.. bugs will eat me.. can't sleep.. too many bugs.."
yeah, I only wish I could steal Spoz's line at this time..
only thing is, it isn't summer.. never gets up to 45°C..
besides, my body just will NOT sleep.. dunno what it is!
I went to bed at 2:15 AM after talking to Sam..
got up at 6:40.. I have NO idea what's up with that, really..
not sure I'm going back to bed at this point..
I'll miss my bus if I do, I'm sure.. and be totally fried all day..
ah well, at least I'm catching up on 75+ emails and RQ ;)

New York Steakhouse

a bunch of us ended up going to the New York Steakhouse..
Jon, Erin, Eunice, Dave, Alan, Tracy, Hon, Edwin, Brian, Nathan, Dawn and I all went..
Dave's opinion: "It's got steak, and it's a house.. too pricey!"
hahahaha.. you gotta love the dude's humor, all right..
it was a Hong Kong-style café establishment, so it was fine..
we discussed The O.C., E.R. Dawson's Creek, Saved by the Bell; humor; Memphis Blues tomorrow..
Erin's not wanting to desert Anita, Lawrence, Andrew, and Vania tomorrow night at her house..
ways of losing weight and how much the guys weighed..
Fellowship committees and their planning for camp..
Jon's Ireland trip being why he was missing camp again..
our bill being fine because Sean wasn't there to mess it up..
life and general updates, and a lot of other things.. yay!
probably I should go to bed.. Valentine's rant later, maybe..
however, it's not helping that I haven't checked my email yet..
and two people decided to buzz me simultaneously, as well..
hopefully, I get up on time tomorrow.. wouldn't do to be late!

Eating durian in the car!

since the church office is open, I'll blog for a bit..
Eunice and Jon picked me up earlier to go to church..
Jon spent the ride bugging Jeremy about durian..
Eupinder ate durian in Dennis' car once..
he almost killed her for that, let me tell ya ;)
Alan, Eddie, and Dennis definitely didn't like it at all..
my brother says Dave will drive me to Nate's tomorrow..
it's so relaxing and open when we hang out there!

got to church and talked to Tim, Maxine, and Jessica..
yes, remembering birthdays IS my spiritual gift.. haha..
later, I was really bored of listening to Lesley prattle on..
(she'll be in my Bible Study group now, too... aiya!)
so I got on the phone to call Yazmine.. BBT and plans!

I talked to Andy, Connie, Maisie, Billy, Joe, and Helen later...
food, dealing with church problems, life, updates, shots..
hacker problems with the Fellowship mailing list's server..
Valentine's plans, Cambodia / Singapore / Malaysia..
definitely good conversations to have with friends!
and now I have to leave.. me so hungry, so let's eat..

Weird food combinations

These are some of the recent combinations that my brother has tried, and that I know of. You know, just in case you're interested or something... ;)

1. water, broccoli, napkin bits, borscht (Russian soup), coffee, milk, butter, ice, salt, tea, sugar, and a bay leaf all mixed together in a glass (he and his friend Bryant left it on the table after a lunch at the Gloucester Café; they wanted the waitress to see it)

2. he once put Triscuits, mustard, and bubble tea pearls in a hot dog at a BBQ we attended a few summers ago

3. chips in Slurpee (doesn't sound so bad, until you consider that the two probably don't go well together)

4. sushi with black cherry yogurt

5. sushi with applesauce

6. sushi with Vanilla Coke

7. lychee (a Chinese fruit) with cranberry juice and Cheerios (our friend Nathan said it looked like "eyeballs and blood"... a rather appetizing description, haha!)

8. salad swimming in Coke (he doesn't like salad dressing, so he uses soft drinks instead.. we all thought that was a bit dubious, but to each their own?)

9. strawberry ice cream, BBQ sauce, and rice (this was at a party with 60 other friends of ours.. Brian wanted me to tell him when my brother was done eating this particular "creation," as he couldn't bear to see it)

10. tomato rice with focaccia bread, mustard and other condiments (at the same party as above.. everyone there thought he was absolutely INSANE!)

11. haggis with marmalade on toast (my brother had a haggis party, and the marmalade made it taste better.. I also tried it, as did his friend Phyllis)

12. haggis mixed with orange juice and Coke (at the same party as above, and the same people tried it.. the concoction wasn't TOO bad, in my opinion)


I'm sure there's a lot more that I don't remember, or that I wasn't there to see him make and eat. But you get the general idea.. my brother especially is a weird one when it comes to food!


Stuff that I personally have tried

1. salsa with chocolate chip cookies
2. chicken wings with ranch dip
3. chocolate chip cookie dough with BBQ sauce and mint chocolate chip ice cream

Yup, I'm a wimp compared to my brother.. but 'tis all good. ;)


Memphis Blues Final Act

beans, coleslaw, BBQ sauce, potato salad, chipotle tabasco sauce, regular tabasco sauce, ketchup, various bits of meat (pulled pork, ribs, chicken, etc.), vinegar (James did this once!), beer (Dawn did it once!), hot sauce, and green Tabasco sauce

Friday the thirteenth: SUPERSTITION!

Friday the thirteenth.. best dust off your triskaidekaphobia!
I'm not that superstitious, as I just detailed in the Friday Five..
but somehow, I can't help being a tinge on guard..
even though it's just the luck of the calendar and all..
Valentine's Day is tomorrow, too.. more on that later..
things just get conveniently blamed on the day, sure..
however, I think I'd best be careful, just the same!
(no, I'm not supposed to believe in superstition at all..
still, it can't hurt to have a healthy dose of wariness)


1. Are you superstitious?

I'd like to think I'm not, but I suppose I am just a tinge superstitious about certain things.


2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition?

I don't know if this is extreme, but my friend Natalie's parents insisted that she and Brad couldn't change their wedding date because it was on an auspicious day in the Chinese calendar. She found out that a couple of her good friends were also getting married on that date (July 26), and they'd chosen the date before she had. There was nothing she could do about Dora and Osmond's wedding date... even though there would be a lot of people attempting to go to both weddings, and having to choose which banquet to attend.


3. Believer or not, what's your favorite superstition?

I don't know much about superstition, although I may have to start reading up about it now. ;) Hmm.. I suppose my favorite one is the one where breaking a mirror will bring you seven years of bad luck unless you do something immediately to counteract the spell. Not sure what that something is, and I'll probably remember as soon as I submit this. (does it involve salt, or is that something else?) But yeah..... that's my favorite one.


4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number / article of clothing / ritual?

I'm not supposed to believe in luck since I'm a Christian and all, but I admit I do occasionally. Wouldn't say I have a lucky number / article of clothing / ritual, though. Guess my belief in luck is so occasional that these things aren't involved in it! Hahaha..


5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?

No, I don't believe in astrology. In my opinion, the stars and the positions of the planets in the sky at the time of our birth (or whenever) don't necessarily determine the course of our life. It's rather what you make of the choices you are given, and the stars are just an incidental part of it. Although with that said, I admit I can't resist occasionally looking at the horoscope in the paper! (please note I'm not bashing anyone who DOES believe in the stuff!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESSICA.. I hope you have a really superb one today! :) It's been good sharing with you.

I just got back from eating out at Milestones..

on a whim, I went to London Drugs and bought Pocky..
good thing it was on sale.. Pocky is very good stuff..
looking forward to tonight's get-together at Sophia's..
Helen's supposed to give me a ride.. did she call?
the Internet was disconnected when I got home, so maybe..
oh well.. whoever it is will certainly call me back, I'm sure!

F*cking technical difficulties... AKA Alan Cross: Greatest New Rock Moments #80-71

You would have had a way more detailed entry on the latest Alan Cross 100 Greatest Moments in New Rock History show. Why am I using that tense? Because my computer decided to crash on me just as I was finishing up my post for LJ.

All I can tell you now:

80. The introduction of the Technics S-1200 turntable to the music scene in general. The company gets orders even now, in this post-turntable / digital scene. They're all handmade in a factory in Osaka, Japan. A record store employee named Trent Reznor saw the possibilities.. it's almost certain Nine Inch Nails' first album wouldn't have sounded how it did, if he hadn't.

79. The introduction of the digital sampling tape, which revolutionized recording. We wouldn't have Fatboy Slim around, if it weren't for that.

78. The introduction of the Apple Macintosh computer during Super Bowl 18, in a commercial directed by Ridley Scott. It did much for musicians during those days, as companies would cater to their needs.

77. The introduction of a machine designed to replace the complicated process of splicing magnetic tape loops together. (as on Pink Floyd's Money)

76. The introduction of Ecstasy to the UK club scene, which made raves and dance floor music different. Musicians and DJs had to make melody come second to making music that would closely imitate the rhythm of E through the bloodstream. (as on Underworld's Born Slippy)

75. The time when U2's Bono decided to order 100,000 pizzas for a Detroit audience on the ZooTV tour. Part of his shtick was to turn on the channels of the onstage TVs, and one night he asked the crowd if they'd like pizza.

The pizza company (Speedy Pizza) didn't believe him at first, and couldn't make 100,000 pizzas. Instead, they sent 100 pepperoni pizzas.. three guys in blue uniforms arrived between the main set and the encore, and started throwing pizza boxes into the audience. the next leg of the tour featured T-shirts that read: "I'd like to order 100,000 pizzas, please."

74. The death of Ricky Wilson (of the B-52s) from AIDS in 1985. Since there was a stigma associated with being gay, he kept his illness very quiet. Even his sister Cindy Wilson (also of the B-52s) didn't know her brother had AIDS until three days before his death, which was the first of a famous / notable musician from AIDS.

73. Vince Clark of Depeche Mode decides to quit the band in 1981. That seemed a terrible decision at the time, given that he was the band's chief singer / songwriter / visionary. Martin Gore decided to step in as the songwriter, and has since written 99.9% of the band's output. They certainly wouldn't have been one of the world's biggest bands if he hadn't.

72. Bob Geldof was having a bad day in November 1984, and decided to turn on the TV to try to relax. The broadcast he saw on the Ethiopian famine touched him so much, that he decided to record a benefit charity single for it. He was practical, though.. if the Boomtown Rats recorded it, the single would flop. So he decided to bring in such artists as U2, David Bowie, and Sting.. the word got around.

The song Do They Know It's Christmas? was written in the back of a taxi, and raised a lot of money for Band Aid. It also started the charity single off, as well as Live Aid. Also, it did much to dispel the notion that rock had no conscience.

71. A tattoo artist named Fred Durst was a big fan of the band Korn, and offered them a free tattoo when they passed through his town on a tour. Nobody took him up on his offer except for Head. When they got home, Fieldy discovered a demo that Fred had slipped in with their stuff. The band then listened to the demo, and convinced the management to listen. Everyone liked the demo, and Limp Bizkit was given a chance.

Guitar ownership night!

well, I went back to bed at 7:30.. no freaky dreams!
can't believe that a new LJ friend signed up for Our Place..
that made me feel as hyper as I could get at 6:40 AM..
actually had a dream about Erin, Steph, and a tub..
no, it wasn't a perverted dream.. gutter-like people :P
woke up at 2:35 and found photos and a note from Steph..
I remember the "guitar ownership night" at Erin's..
and the night all Steph's friends came over.. fun times..
guess I'll have to see if Jon's doing a Memphis Blues thing..
certainly be interesting if this does happen with us..
Memphis Blues can only fit so many people though..
eh well, I hope this weekend will be a good thing for us!

BROWN EYES

Eye colors, from Mandy via Myspace bulletin.

BLUE EYES
People with blue eyes last the longest in relationships. They are kind, pretty or handsome, very good kissers, and are really hot. They always fall in love with their closest friends and never understand why. They are very funny, outgoing, and don't care what people think or say. They are very satisfying and love to please. Are straight up WARRIORS when necessary. If you repost this and you have blue eyes, you will have the best kiss sometime in the next 5 days!

GREEN EYES
Sex Addicts!!! People with green eyes have put the most passion into relationships, and they have long-lasting relationships. People with green eyes are also the horniest and most beautiful. They long for the touch of another. People with green eyes are very sexy and very attracted towards the opposite sex. If you repost this and have green eyes, you will meet / stay with the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with!

HAZEL EYES
People with hazel eyes are very loveable. They are really hot and are awesome to be around. They don't enjoy 'pet names.' They don't care what people think or say. They are very satisfying and they love to please. They can exceed your pleasure standards. They are very laid back, chilled and love to just be around. If you repost this and have hazel eyes, then you will be happy soon with the person who is on your heart!

The vain pursuit of sleep which eludes me... / Quizzes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEOFFREY.. I hope you have a really good one today! :) Stay golden in Hong Kong, eh?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EDDIE.. I hope you have a good one today! :) It's been cool knowing you all these years.

why in the ever-loving heck am I up now?
I went to bed at 1:15, so I should be sleeping..
but no.. I woke up at 5:30 without explanation at all..
oh well, this happens to me occasionally.. dunno why..
at least I can get to the email I abandoned yesterday..
it was all in the vain pursuit of sleep, I'm telling you..
when the usual methods don't work, the state is rotten! ;)


Milk Pocky!
Sweet Milk Pocky! You're an elitist, since you're
not really suited to the American taste. You're
sweet, as your name implies, but sometimes you
do get a little haughty.

Psychedelic blogs

just finished making some changes to this site..
I figured if Spoz could do it, so could I..
of course, he has an eye for color since he's an artist..
however, I only have the mildest hint of one..
his blog looks more artistic than mine does..
mine just looks more psychedelic.. no photo yet!
any comments / critiques welcome, of course :)
at least the superimposition waited till I was done..
(even though I haven't been at a certain site for hours..)
oh well, at least I accomplished something today!

I am a girl, NOT a guy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIMON.. I hope you have a good one today! :) It's been good getting to know you bit by bit.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARY.. I hope you have a great one today! :) Finally an adult at 18.. Rhett doesn't know who I am. ;)

the RQ nightly ritual of "what are you wearing?" is good..
for example, someone just realized that I am a female..
he was reading what I was wearing; the bra clued him in..
well, all right.. I *could* be a guy wearing a bra..
but let's just not go there.. that's too weird, aye?
HAHAHAHAHA... boy, was I ever amused at that..
I definitely took it in a good way.. too hilarious, really!

Scored the Beatles Anthology book for $20 at the Bay!

I had an okay time with Maisie at the mall.. she was late..
we went to all these stores that I wouldn't normally go into..
found out that she hates elevators, and likes escalators..
I'm the exact opposite, so we got separated a few times..
managed to score the Beatles Anthology book for $20..
yes, I do indeed rock.. reminds me of the Stones book ;)
went to the Mongolie Grill for dinner.. pretty good stuff..
now, I'm home.. attempting to catch up on what I missed..
those are always fun times.. nobody bug me, okay? ;)

Weird dreams and spammers

had another truly weird / bizarre dream last night..
featured freaky things, Sean, Emily, markets, ghosts, insanity..
today, I was pleasantly surprised when Jim buzzed me on YM..
I thought that it would log me in as invisible, but it didn't..
ah well, I had an okay conversation with him all in all..
now I wish I remembered how to do hugs via YM..
Cerowyn taught me once, a LONG time ago..
it isn't terribly important or a matter of great urgency..
just that Jim does it, so I want to reciprocate at times..

have the spammers found my email address after a month?
I open my email, and find one from "contact400"..
the subject line was "Proposition".. sounds very dodgy!
of course, it's not like the other spam mails I used to get..
guess I'll cautiously open it and see what it contains..
Outblaze is apparently very anti-spam, but you can never tell..
yes, I *did* know it wasn't going to last.. boo hoo..
just thought I'd maybe have a bit longer, y'know?
yup, it was a very dodgy spam email.. instincts were right..

since I have to meet Maisie at the mall at 3:30, I should go..
I'll have to try not to spend that much money.. *nods*
guess you'll have to wait for more updates later.. bye!

Aussie Quiz

You're one of those fancy stores (Banana Republic, Abercrombie and Fitch, Tiffany's) You wouldn't imagine accepting someone unless they had everything you want them to have. One word of advice: try not to look at what people are, but more of WHO people are.

Personality Quiz

Wrong. I pride myself on my excellent spelling. :P


You are a moron. These quizzes are totally pointless, and if you have to take a quiz to determine your own personality, chances are you have no personality and are a very dull person. Go kill yourself. God hates you.

Fuck you, too. :P


You really think I'm mental, don't you. You are probably saying right now, "She's obviously not the brightest crayon in the box." Well, I don't give a damn what you think. Thanks for letting me waste two minutes of your life!
