The soap bubbles know what day it is?! / Quiz Heaven stuff

apparently, even the soap bubbles know what day it is..
I was taking a shower, and noticed they'd formed a heart..
granted, it wasn't a perfect one.. but it freaked me out..
finally finished catching up with email and LJ, too.. whew!
now I don't have to worry about it later on..
just wish I could sleep a little bit so I'm not so fried..
eh well.. namooch I can do about it.. darned body clock!
Valentine's Day rant is basically the same as last year's..
go look it up in the archives if you can be bothered ;)
more in my life to come later, I'm sure.. stay tuned, aye?

THE CHEESE QUIZ
brought to you by Quizilla

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!)

Girls Night Out at Sophia's

just got back from Sophia's, where much fun was had..
Helen, Sophia, Karen, Sohan, Frances, Irene, Shirley, and me..
we discussed reality TV shows, unusual first and last names..
changing your first or last names, Peter Pan, weddings..
Kenneth's engagement to Daisy.. (the family wasn't pleased)
Sean / Adela / Citrus / Danielle / Cordia, food, church..
our lives, updates, Keith getting married, the Beatles..
human resources programs at BCIT, music, and so on..
John even took a picture for us when we all had to go..
when I got home, I called Jon to see what was up..
he'd been trying to call me, but I was out all night :P
says he can pick me up.. rides there and back are good ;)

Chicken, fries, and Pocky

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..
had a craving for chicken and fries.. no instant noodles!
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!

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

not really suited to the American taste. You're
sweet, as your name implies, but sometimes you
do get a little haughty.


What Kind of Pocky are You?

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!

Of course Anita's still upset! / Quizzes

shared a bunch of stuff with my friends today..
of course Anita's still upset.. I don't blame her one bit!
Eric H. says it's sad that Nathan will eventually move..
"it'll be Port Coquitlam.. no longer just a few minutes away!"
Billy says Keith flipped a puck just under his mask.. injury!
told Irene that I had a ride on Thursday.. she's not going..
Jessica's excited about seeing Steph on spring break..
Jen and Dawn had hilarious Disneyland stories to tell..
(you don't get Mickey Mouse to swear, or say anything!)
Ethan said hi to me today without prompting.. so nice!
Jon says that he should get a Memphis Blues thing going..
maybe before Fellowship on Friday, who knows with us? ;)
guess we'll see what happens later on this week.. woohoo!

Your dark eyes and hair need to be accentuated by stunning, standout eyes! Use dark greens and purples, and really bring out your top lid! Maybe even use your eyeliner to give your eyes a tantalizing tilt. Who could resist?

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.

You are a cat. You are incredibly lazy and enjoy spoiling everyone's fun. I'd tell you to hang your head in shame, but you wouldn't listen.

THE JOKER: You don't see any point in spelling anything the right way, and you absolutely love playing tricks on people.


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.


Personality Quiz

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!

You are the Skeptic. You hate watching other people go to the toilet in droves, and you always pay those with an obsession out, even though your own life is pretty much uninteresting. Uh.... stop criticising and get out there!!!
