10:39 pm	My inner dragon is a... Crystal Dragon In the war between good and evil, Crystal Dragons take the side of the noble and good. When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order, your inner dragon tends to do things by the book. As far as magical tendancies, Magical spells come as natural to the Crystal Dragon as breathe from it's body. During combat situations, a true Crystal Dragon prefers to defeat opponents by the use of spells and other tactics. Dragon Description: Fun-loving and good natured, crystal dragons tend to be responsible rulers. They establish domains in the cold, open northern reaches, building castles out of snow and ice. They leave these castles open to the sky, for they love to watch the stars on clear, cold nights. Hatchlings have glossy white scales that become more and more translucent with age. By the time they reach adulthood, these scales become luminescent in moonlight. In the full light of the day they glow with a dazzling, almost unbearable brilliance. Like other benevolent dragons, the crystal dragons prefer to talk rather than fight. Even without special abilities, they can be charming and engaging to an extreme. Gems and metal ores are their foods of choice.A crystal dragon's breath weapon is a cone of glowing shards. The shards slice and cut those caught in the cone. This Dragons favorite elements are: Quartz, Ice, and Good Natures (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:29 pm	Quicky! BTW!!! I just remembered that I have an entry that is under "guavaturtle" on december 29th. My LJ client has been a tad fritzy lately and i couldn't update =/. Alright alright... how has my day been? Watched anime, played kingdomhearts, and hung out with cindy, kevin, and aaron playing tennis and eating del taco. Forehand works well now. Backhand goes over slowly. All is well. School is tomorrow! V^___^V Toodles, ciao, and Bubble! Will Current Mood: tired (6 Comments |Comment on this)

11:53 am	I didn’t know I had muscle there… Hey everyone! Ive spent this entire week doing nothing but playing tennis, badminton and go. Haha. All three are things that cause sore bottoms. In tennis, I have to basically kneel on the ground to pick up Cindy’s uber low shots. In badminton… george and Cindy seem to really love dropping that birdy right behind the net – forcing me to dive and squat somemore to pick that thing up and (with a fifty percent success rate) get it over the net again. In go, all I do is sit so my bottom gets sore ^_____^V. So yeah… ive been hobbling around like an old man all week. About my new years resolution to lose weight… *pokes tummy* no results yet. Must eat less! I said I would go on a diet after Vegas but… haha haven’t started yet. Ill do it when school starts!! Yes school! That shall be the deadline. I was watching Arnold give a speech on TV. It wasn’t too bad actually. Had some humor in it and he seems to be pretty firm on his ideas. Well it got me into thinking. Maybe I can run for Student Treasurer or something. You know, for UCI. So I was in the shower and started thinking up a speech. NO I don’t do this kinda stuff for fun! It just happens when you aren’t thinking about anything! Wills speech (btw, I don’t even know if there is a student Treasurer position) *gets up to talk and checks pockets for notes and fails to find them. Some one runs up to gimme my notecards.* What does it take to be a trusted treasurer? A treasurer is someone who holds and controls the flow of money. YOUR money. A treasurer needs to know how to spend wisely, how to cut corners, and how to make the most of the available budget. This is what I propose a treasurer should possess: intelligence, experience, and honesty. These are all traits that I possess Even in Junior high, I scored A’s in my prealgebra classes. I passed all of my high school math classes. In college, I got a decent grade for not knowing about the final. I believe anyone can see that I have a natural talent with math and money. In addition, I never forget the smallest details. An elephant like me never forgets. Experience with investing in stocks and bonds as well as experience as club treasurers and work place experience makes me the perfect person to handle YOUR money. These traits of intelligence and experience I possess I excessive quantities. However, the most important trait, in my humble opinion, is honest. YOU must be able to trust ME to do my job correctly. *holds up a penny* “what is this?” You ask. This is the most basic element of our American currency. The engraving is the profile of our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln – a symbol of honesty. This, my friends is an American red cent. You can trust me with these. I have never and shall never steal a single red cent. A million dollars maybe… but NEVER a red cent. Vote for me as Treasurer! ^____^V Yup, this is what came to my head after hearing Arnold speak on TV hehehe. I know im a nerd. *shrugs* Well, I am an 8k in go now haha! Though I keep losing due to dumb errors. For example, there were a couple times when ANY move would have won me the game, except one move… the one move I played… hum… so yea. I am still a low ranking 8k. hehe. But slowly I am improving. Kevin gave me a pair of 5.0 prostaffs. Yes the 5.0 is the hit index NOT the version number. It has to do with how hard you have to swing and how stiff the racket is. I love these rackets even though I need to get them strung. When I do, everyone watch out!! (hehe though I gotta let these blisters heal). Cant really think of a constitutionary rule to being good company so… AH! 37. If you are gonna go out to eat with your friends… EAT. - It is kinda rude to not eat with the rest of the group because I kind of makes everyone feel a little uncomfortable. Who like to be stuffing their face with food while the person across from them remains skinny? Nonono. Definitely not a good feeling. Current Mood: cheerful (Comment on this)

10:41 pm	Vegas Baby! Got my First X-mas present!! Cindy gave me a Really warm and nice jacket that probably saved my life in the harsh cold of Nevada. I also got a Kakashi Keychain from Aaron but its not considered an Xmas gift according to him. Thanks a ton anyway! i Love both gifts a LOT. The first week of my winter break was spent in Las Vegas with Cindy and Aaron. We stayed at Bally's for 3 nights and hung out for 4 days. That's about it. Just kidding. I had a great time. What did i enjoy most? Hum... it's between the awesome buffets (i actually liked the one at the Imperial Palace the best - its both cheap and really good =D**) and being with people who i consider family. Hands down its being with the Buff--friends. I learned how to scooter a little bit on the Razors. Had to because there was no other way of moving up and down the strip quickly. Besides buffets, we visited various arcades. Not one of them had a decent DDR machine. Well maybe New York^2 which had 6th mix. We wandered around to all of the buffets and eyeballed some really expensive stuff from the windows. The inside of the Belagio is gorgeous may i add. Met up with our TA and watched Lord of the Rings after a meal at the Belagio. We spent about 2:30 eating there by the way. So if it looks like we gained a pound or two after Vegas, we probably did. Well i probably gained more like 5 - 10. We cant have spent ALL of our time at the buffets right? Right! In addition to that, we did some other stuff too like watch the World Poker Tournament at the Belagio! Its right next to the High Roller room. There were also long periods of time that were spent in the Hotel Room of course! What could 2 guys and a girl do in a hotel room all alone in a city far far from home? *wink wink* We finished a 500 piece puzzle! It was much more fun than i thought it would be. I almost laughed to death when Cindy - who had been searching forever for a place to put this 15 piece chunk somewhere - cried out "NO DON'T TOUCH IT" as i grabbed it randomly and stuck it in with the rest of the puzzle. We also watch half of Naruto and a bunch of Full Metal Panic Fumoffu episodes as well as some movies on TV like the X-Files and Wrongfully accused. Saw a really funny Clip for Swamp thing haha. Showed a girl and The monster hugging each other. The swamp thing goes "you can't love me, im a plant." As a reply, she says, "It's ok, I'm a vegetarian!" LOL the junk we watched in the 1900s. Anyway, had a ton of Fun in Vegas. I guess it counter balances the fact that i missed Deans List by 0.03 and Have Jury Duty on Monday =DDD Constitution: 35. Work Hard Play Hard - Wow, i dunno if i've mention this before but there it is again. It feels so much better to kick butt in school then go somewhere and do something really fun. Last Quarter, i kinda was half assed about school and playing. What was the result? Bad grades and a bigger belly and hips. This quarter, i got decent grades along with a bigger belly and an even bigger waist line. =0) Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)

2:29 am	Final Judgement Finals... the ordeal that comes once a season. I have to say that this would be the first time ive had such an advantage over finals though. What exactly do i mean? Classics - probably one of my weakest subjects - i happen to get to know the TA through Cindy. haha. After paying proptiation to her throughout the quarter with tea, muffins, and stuffed animals, i suddenly found myself with a free tutor and "hints" on the final. In physics, i just gave myself over to the fates. As fate would have it, there was nothing along the lines of circles on the test. YESSSS. No circular motion. No torque. Just nice simple linear/onedimentional/unrealistic motion. did the test like bam bam bam. (Odysseus conquers one challenge). AA psych, which we all studied our bumms off for, as also another bam bam bam. Some of the questions were tricky but hey! even odysseus had to lose some sailors after every trial. I think i still did pretty decent on the AA exam though. So up coming is the Ochem and Classics test. I fear both greatly... I did spend the time to prep for these tests though! the past 2-3 days were spent beneath student center in the catacombs known only as CSL. Fighting such foes as noxious gasses (B.O.), hunger, thirst, trampling in my sleep, fatigue, boredom, and especially hunger I, with my crew, studied like crazay for our tests. Constitution: ... forget this... didn't learn N-aythin. Saving all my braincells for the test! If i do recall something that i have learned, ill list it next time kay! bubbeyes!

11:28 pm	What is this?? An Entry?! Hey everybody! Just gained like 10 pounds from eating like 1 pound of Thanksgiving dinner at my Aunt's house. *sigh* this plan to lose weight by the end of the quarter is failing miserably. UNLIKE my grades! For the first time in a long time, i have a chance at something higher than a B!! Ive got a B+ average in Classics. Hopefully, with the help of an essay that took so long, i may as well have chizeled it out of a stone block in the Paetian greek alphabet thing, my average will go ABOVE that A- barrier that has be able to ward me off thus far. Asian American Psychology is my other hope =DD. After that even with the alleged eyeballing of Weihsi's paper, i think i have something above a B+ also. Finally, my proudest accomplishment of all... i have a B+ in Ochem. I actually kinda took Arasassingham's advice and study every day. it pays off! My only worry right now is Lab - i am actually pretty decent at Lab: i am just not good at the experiement, the quizzes, and the write-ups - as well as physics. The only physics i understand is pool and i am not even that great! Must work harder on those. On a different note, my tennis learning curve (which has previously been flatlining) finally decided to go up - i can hit the ball!. Still cannot serve and cindy's backhand still shoots balls past me like a machine gun. Another happy note was that jamin accompanied me last week! YAAYY! Xmas is coming up. Presents presents!!! Some people are impossible to decide what to give them. Other gifts i dunno how to get! Things will work out somehow. Good luck on Finals week and Happy thanksgiving everyone! Wills Constitution: 34. Hardwork pays off. - Wow this sounds cliche but... there it is haha. Previously, i have been a hardcore believer in procrastination but a few people have succeeded in converting me for the better. Ochem, tennis, Classics. All of these are success stories that everyone should be able to duplicate with a bit of Hard work. /|_|_|_|_|\ My Rock Lee O____O Current Mood: jubilant (Comment on this)

11:24 pm	Tribute to Mike Consider this compliment my thanks for spending the day with me and teaching me O-Chem mike: snoopiggy0133: how biochem is hard....and i go, "seriously you guys, i'm not jokin" snoopiggy0133: and then mike goes, "damn....we better believe her, she doesn't joke." CardCaptor32584: haha CardCaptor32584: i think the funniest thing is his voice! snoopiggy0133: yeah? CardCaptor32584: he has this no nonsense voice snoopiggy0133: haha CardCaptor32584: but all he says is nonsense! snoopiggy0133: HAHAHAHA CardCaptor32584: =DDDDD (Comment on this)
5:42 pm	Chemistry Enantiomers are like left and right hands. Mirror images that don't super impose. Mike nad i spent forever trying to figure this out. Then what is a diasteriomer? "like a third hand?" mike says. I think for a bit and go, oh i see! enantiomers are like you hands, they look like mirror reflections but you can't put one on top of the other. Diasteriomers are similar but are not mirror images, Like your foot!" Mike: "Oooh i see, so enantiomers are your hands and a diasteriomer is your foot!" (note: mike says that this story makes him sound like an idiot. apparently, he was the one who explained everything to me. Ah well, i abuse my writer's priviledge and write with some bias) =D Oh yes, there is apparently pacing involved when studying with a group. I graciously offered to study with mike's friend (wink wink) but he complained that i didnt have the right adaptation ability to pace with other peopple while studying. The pace in studying is like an a benzene ring in equilibrium. All the atoms share the electrons at the same time. It is the same with studying. If one person goes too fast or two slow, equilibrium is destroyed and noone gets any study done. How hard can it be to study with an incredibly hot girl that mike says he has respect for her "mind." He has to go to church so i figured i would cover for him and help to study with the girl. however, mike has to insult me with this "will you don't have the right adaptation skills to keep pace" excuse. THIS is the type of uncaring person that mike is. Greedy and selfish. Uncaring in that he would allow a lonely girl to study by herself instead of letting me take care of her while he goes to church. (mike: more writers bias!!! *with emphasis*) Mikes quote of the day: "ive always had a soft spot for cute girls - never mind it's hard now." Too much ochem on the brain Constitution 33. ll organisms must adapt. - If one finds oneself unable to study at a constant pace with the sexy person studying next to one, one must continue to practice with that individual until both find an even pace that both can maintain. Whether that pace be blasting through a sample midterm in mere minutes or having study come to a grinding halt in exchange of oral fluids, the pace is important to keep in mind.

12:58 am	Bonding and chemistry Hey all, How long has it been since i updated? Well, i guess ill just fill in recent events. Work isn't a means to an end, its a way of life. Its work skool work skool sleep school etc etc. Fridays is tennis. thrusdays is martial arts. And weekends is try to catch up on sleep days. Today i ended up sleeping about... trying to imagine 2 more arms growing out my side... 13 hours. And still tired haha. Studied ochem for the rest of the time with the quickly approaching ordeal of doom. Mike and i have developed a new form of code for checking out girls. =D Its oriented on the person who spots the girl. One example is as follows: Mike and i were sitting across from eachother at the zot zone. There was a sitting a bit behind mike studying econ i believe it was. I looked up and said, "hey mike, want to study at 11 tomorrow?" Mike Nonchalantly looks over his shoulder, pretends to stretch and replies, "oh yeah, 11 sounds good to me, really good." At that moment, a guy comes along and... with the girl... and then.. Well, mike turns to me and says, "actually will, i think 11 is a bit bad. 11 seems a tad too late for me." =D We then proceeded to walk through a sorority to get to mike's car. Hahaha, i was all like lets study all day tomorrow and mike simply took one look around and said, "yeah" Martial arts class is fun. Why i like it so much i have no idea. It reminds me that i am so out of shat it's not even funny. And the newbs there all want to beat me up. Here's the scenario: we are doing slow one step sparring so that everyone gets used to making up moves on the run. So here i am moving all slowly. I am mostly using my right hand (rock lee style) and suddenly this kid puts his elbow in my jaw. What's with all this testosterone that seems to follow me around like a shadow. Everywhere i go, there seems to always be a guy who wants a piece of me. *sigh* Will's Constitution to good living (continued) 32(i think). Bonding and connecting is the most important aspect to life. - From sub atomic particles to the universe, everything is held together by some force be it gravity or nuclear forces. As we've learned in Ochem, there are enough covalent bonds in a single molecule to make your head spin. Poeple also need to bond and connect with eachother. Family and friends would not be anything if there were no interaction. Sometimes there is a positive relationship and sometimes its more like antibonding but the communication must be there for two people to be. Friends and family are the most important things to a person's life. They are the ones that will always be there. Current Mood: okay (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:26 pm	Tired sleepy and exhausted WAAAHHHH!! What a week... This is probably the first week that i have worked more than 10 hours at subway ever. When im not working, im in class (or sleeping in the car like i was today... when i missed o-chem) Oh yes, before i forget, today marks the first day that i've missed a class this quarter. i kinda feel asleep in the car at 6:30 and woke up at 10, realizing too late that the class ends at 10. Well that was my one unhappy moment today. That and having to work next to Sean for an hour at Subway. Truthfully, ive never had a problem with slow talkative workers at subway. In fact, not to be hypocritical, i was and am one of the more chatty ones. HOWEVER, there is a difference chatting a little with the customer while working and spending all of ones time holding full debates with the customer or flirting with a particularly hot one. An hour of someone like that next you is bound to get on anyone's nerves - i am no exception. Why should i have to work literally twice as fast as the people next to me? Totally not fair. Any way, enough griping. I DID beat mike in Chess today somehow. dunno, checked him with the bishop chased him up with the rook and moved in the the checkmate. haha, i even surprised myself! Let me draw it out for you. (w) = White (b) = black p = pawn R = rook K = king B = bishop |bR|__|__| |Wk|__|Wp| |__|Wp|BB| |Wp|__|__| Yup, that was the move of death, done like 2 seconds before i had to run off to work. Like i said, im a busy guy. Oh, i do need to thank Sid for this victory though, i was finishing off a game that he started. Ive been learning how to play a bit of Capcom vs SNK 2 but am still not very good at it. My pool skills have declined to the point of non-existence but i don't think i mind too much. Starcraft is probably rusty enough to use in a Thermite reaction. Tennis, however has improved greatly. I was watching Cindy and Kevin play and realized the flaw in my style. From Cindy, i realized that i don't have enough drawback to have a hard shot. And kevin pointed out that i was putting way too much topspin on my hits. With those two problems out of the way, my game improved so much. No more consistent net balls for me! In go, i am pushing into the 9k territory. getting stronger! Trip for Vegas has been set. Room has been booked. The people going are Me, Cindy, Aaron, and Grandpappy George. Gonna be blast. My goal is to develop abs of steel (or at least lose the ring of insolation around my midsection) in addition to developing chest, arm and leg muscles. I also joined a Kung Fu class, only to find that im better than many of the instructors there... i hope that the master will be able to teach me the long sword: it is the main reason why i joined the class. I also want to join taekwondo so that i can compliment my hand based martial arts. Martial arts is a lot of fun and i recommend people join! It is a very good full body work out. Will's Constitution: (i remembered what number i'm on haha) 29. No need to show-off or do something fancy, just get the job done. - My tennis stroke... brobably the biggest problem is that i add that last flick at the end of my stroke. No need to add all that topspin!! It just sucks the ball into the net. When i just hit it flat, the ball goes faster, is heavier, is better placed, and is harder to hit. I have improved 100%. When making sandwiches, you don't need to make the tuna perfectly even; no need to as if the customer wants you to poor on the ranch into their salad; no need to as if the customer wants you to mix the salad for them!!! JUST GET THE JOB DONE. In martial arts, don't waste movement of you are asking for a whooping. Keep your moves compact and fast with lots of weight behind them. In go do simple moves. Take teh easy way and do wht feels natural - not do something fancy and crazy that has a huge chance of failing. Well that is that for today Love and Peace, Will Current Mood: accomplished (Comment on this)

6:48 pm	Schools Started and im BACK HEY HEY!!! Long time no see everyone! Tons have been happening: so much that ive forgotten most of it (too lazy to LJ over the summer) so im just gonna do my best and get everything down. haha too many anime and video games have rotted my brain =P Well, ive got a new mission! Gotta move out!!! Freedom!! so that means work work work, school, and more work. Luckily i got a raise!!! (just to add frosting to the cake, Sue complimented me!!). PLUS i got a compliment from cindy and i quote: onegreatmutato: i should treat you out to a meal some time onegreatmutato: for being sue's good worker and all =) HAHA!! Kodak moment! So yes, it's time for me to get my savings together and eesCahppeh. This year is gonna be tough, no time to sleep or play hehe. Other things... tennis is still the love of my life. Forehand is getting a lot better. Much more consistent and powerful thanks to kevin. back hand actually exists now. My service goes in the general direction of the target box and actually has speed. Improved mucho i have! ive already worn through a pair of shoes in less than a year as a result though Haha, oh well. Been gaining a little pudge so gotta work that off and im gonna have to go work out with mike too. Ive gotten better in Go once again. Now im a quickly rising 10k. It is so funny, the concepts for go and tennis are almost exactly the same. in tennis, WILL ATTACK THE BALL - kevin. Just throw your shoulder into it like you are gonna punch someone. ^____^ i like violence. In go, the rule is attack attack attack. Nice eh? Thus far, school has been pretty fun. I have all of my classes with either cindy, aaron, jamin, john or mike. my bestest of friends. oh wait... noone i know in lab. HOWEVER, all of the people around my lab station happen to be hella cute girls. (YESsSsSS ^_______^ V victory!). Physics is starting out pretty boringly. learning how to draw arrows and point to them with my right hand. Ochem is kinda fun though there is a lot of nomenclature. looking kinda tough already. i dunno about everyone else but early greece is kinda Z_____z to me. but nothing compared to asian american Psych. BLEH the lady talks at 300 bpm and in monotone reading from a piece of paper. Not the greatest first impression me thinks. And hopefully, ill get to take martial arts with mike. Have a trip to vegas in the workings! Hopefully everything will turn out alright haha. If so, Winterbreak, VEGAS HERE WE COME. so far, its me cindy john aaron and kevin. looking for one or two more people who want to come along. Wills Constitution continued 30 (ive long forgotten which number im on so i think ill start safely at 30). Be agressive! Attack and everything should be fine. - well, it seems to work in go and tennis right?if there is something you don't like change it. Mom being too clingy? kevin hitting the ball to you too fast? Cindy serving like a ball machine? see a weak group on the go board? the answer is all the same: Do something about it. Thats all for now guys! Hopefully ill be updating more now Love and Peace, Will Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)

12:56 am	Soakin up the sun Long time no see everyone! After the not-so-shocking rediscovery that school sux, i settled into my hard earned time for R&R. It lasts about one week. THANK GOD ITS THAT SHORT - summer is hecka boring. I did do some fun stuff though! Finally got my hands on a copy of kingdom hearts. Love that game. So cute! Also hung out with friends and went to a lot of movies. i think finding nemo is at 3 now (as in ive seen it thrice). went with michele, cindy, aaron, annie... also saw the Hulk and Italian job. Both were ok. Played tennis with Mickey, brian, gary, and jon. Turns out that i suck even worse than before. I wonder how my pool is now. DDR must be non-existant. Watching anime also. Found a ton of good ones on Bittorrent. Playing go online a lot also. Games, anime, games... no wonder im getting chubby. Went to a BBQ at sid's yesterday. Played Dynasty warriors the whole time. Great food. Great fun. Will's Constitution: (forget what number) Food = fat! X___x - i believe an explanation is not needed but... well, last time i stood on a scale, im almost 200. OMG. I hope and think most of it is muscle but... *pokes tummy* some of it um... sure isn't Current Mood: drained (Comment on this)

12:44 am	Cold wind, as blue as the sea... Played a little go in the morning and was somehow inspired to go for a run. I actually wanted to look for an MD player so i was like, why not run as well right? two birds with one stone. Well, no shop in the mall or around the mall had an MD player for a reasonable cost and i ended up only getting my running in. Running sucks btw. I, smart as i am, decided to sprint the last leg of my jog: the last leg was a hill that is worse than the hill at UCI and squished into a smaller distance. Almost died. Took a shower and that is that. Today was a fun filled day at Jamin's House! Ate lots of steak, chicken, and sausage. In addition, we had cookies, fruits, salad, rice, and bread. Vegie sticks and this awesome caramel dip... *drool* I was accompanied by Cindy, John, and Jamin. For entertainment, we spent the entire time watching Neon Genesis: evangelion. A wonderful anime. So funny, action packed, and dramatic all at once. We also poked around jamin's fish pool thing and watched his turtle swim around. I love turtles! Favorite animal hehe. (sorry William). Let's see, what else have i been doing with my life... 15k ranking on KGS ( a Go server ). I can no longer defeat people my ranking haha. Need handicapped games to win. Um, in Xenosaga I am in the middle of trying to do the sidequests. Have most of them done EXCEPT i CANNOT figure out how to easily make 3 MILLION dollars. 3 million!!! That is how much one of the robots in that game costs. blehhh. Played 2v6 comps with cindy. 4 times. And lost every one of them. Either the comps are getting to be semi intelligent, or i am getting dumber. I suspect the latter... Will's Constitution: 26. Test the water before jumping in. - First off, that astringent stuff for your face.. OUCH. Do not do what i did and swoosh it all over the place because your mind is else where. I was literally crying. Also, if u are playing a go game and you see that your opponent has a huge area, do NOT just stick a piece in there. Poke around first and find a weakness. 27. Excercize a lot - No girl would love a guy who looks like this V(^_^)V (__.__) I realized that i really needed help when i couldn't run/jog/run combo for more than 10 minutes without losing my breath. Oh i did force myself to continue of course. Continued for a full hour. And then almost threw up. MUST BE IN SHAPE!!! Current Mood: energetic (Comment on this)

3:50 am	Wo hao uh! *tears* Day 2 of the long weekend. Jamin came over so I enjoyed the first day! ^___^V. My go skills still reek like mad. SC is better though, though i now understand the fact that my terran is most definitely the stronest race that i have. Wait where was i... Oh yes, jamin came over. Just in time to see me get owned in Go. He then got to see me play 2 games against Brian aka DarkMage. Got owned in that also. Well, after we got bored of my house we decided to go hang out at Jamin's. We had to take the stick shift. [Warning: the following tale is supposed to be objective and purely emotionless. Should any part of it seem humorious or teasing, it is purely coincidental] So jamin tells me that the buick needed to have its wheels changed. We hop in the civic and start the car. All is well... until jamin touched the gas petal. It was like a bunch of monkeys were dancing in the car. We then drove to the main streets. jamin, who feared slowing down, almost killed us by goiing over 3 particularly high speed bumps. After it was "smoothe" sailing all the way. Im pretty sure there were THAT many pot holes in mission viejo. Well we got to La Paz just fine. We hit a red and stopped behind a long like of cars. When the light turned green, jamin jammed on the gas. The entire row of cars moved foreward, except one! You guys guessed it! =D. there we were, two guys in a white civic, one smashing the gas pedal, the other willing the car to move by trying to lean forward as much as possible. It took about two more stalls and me getting whiplash before we got to jamin's house. Played with MechAssault and Splinter Cell at Jamin's house. Got owned twice in chess (i seem to be losing in everything lately) and ate some nice and greasy pizza. =D~~~~. BEST NEWS EVER POSTED ON THIS LIVE JOURNAL!!!! CLAMP IS GONNA CONTINUE CCS!!! Wills Constitution: 25. Buckle your Safty belt - After the incredibly fun ride in the civic, i think i am ready for 6 Flags! Even there, they make you wear safety belts. There are 3 good reasons for you to wear safty belts: 1. so your face doesn't get plastered all over the wind shield. My face is already flat enough as it is 2. Cops don't give ya a ticket. They charge BOTH you and the driver. 3. if your Car Stalls in the middle of an intersection, your friend will have a hard time kicking you out to make you push the car.

12:06 am	Stuff, things, and etc. I guess i am just writing this entry because i literally have nothing left to do. I did the usual today. Got to school late so missed another darned chem lecture. Nerst equation... like i care. Basically it allows u to find emf at different concentrations of reactions and products right? hopefully that is all that was gone over in lecture. Went to work for 2 hours. Lots of rude people. Gilbert was in a crabby mood. I was so tired that my vision went double a couple of times. HIGHLIGHT --- i got to try the noodles from the sushi bar today bcus jose wanted to trade. Don't like it one bit but it was a new experience. ACK Did i ring up the sandwich??? i thiiiiinnnkkkk so... im pretty sure i did but... cannot recall exactly how i did it... Pool shot is on again. I just needed to move my right leg out of the way a bit. Got the idea to move my leg when Denise said' "my breast got in the way of my shot dang it!" and i basically said, "yeah, its a pain when they are too big" ^___^;; That was when i was hit by the sudden epiphony of changing my pool form. Still can't do the across the table shots well but getting the feel for it. Beat sid twice in Chess yesterday. Was soo happy. then lost miserably to mike today. must have been a fluke. Tennis was cancelled again today. No surprise there. Instead i went with mike and weihsi to get his parking ticket thing cleared. We had to wait even longer for mike to write up the letter to contest it. (mike is slow when it comes to thinking and the english language in general) ^_~. Went to Olive Garden for dinner afterward. SOOOOO BLOODY GOOD! Learned about a new drink from Weihsi - Shirly Temple. Basically its 7-up with the cherry syrup and cherries. Yummi! Studied for chem. Have yet to look at the billions of pages that i photocopied out of my stats book. more study time required. I guess ill have plenty of time since ill be stuck at home alone this weekend. Mom is taking my little brother up north on a road trip or something with her BF. I can't go since i have finals coming up and get car sick. *sigh* Gonna be a long 3 day weekend. It is so strange how in HS, weekends were a god-given gift. In college, i seem to hate weekends with a passion... so lonely... Will's Constitution: - wow... i really haven't learned anything about life in the past few days that i wish to list this entry. sorry, maybe next time. Current Mood: lonely (Comment on this)

9:24 pm	On Tues, (i think it was tuesday), Jamin, Cindy, Denise, Eric, and I went to eat at soup plantation. They actually had clam chowder that day!! hhaha!! Even though it was bland, i liked it. They also had two types of chili there. It was kinda funny really. Cindy had put a lot of cheeze in hers. To make a short story shorter, she took a huge chomp and had this cheeze string dangle from her chin. So I, being the caring friend that i am, choose to not say anything for a couple seconds just to watch to see if she would notice it any time soon. Heehee, she didn't. Yesterday, we went to see the MATRIX RELOADED!!!! two words!! IT SUCKED! Well, the fight scenes were good. It was quite graphic intensive and this one scene did remind me a lot of something out of a bad chinese movie or dynasty warriors or something. The best part of the day came before the Movie. Well before the movie and after the midterm that i didn't know about... =*****( We told eric and the guys the riddle about the man pushing a car towards a hotel with the smiling owner. HAHAHA. it took them more than an hour to solve it. I love watching people get frustrated sometimes. Mike has this big ordeal about having the wrong movie ticket haha. and ended up getting in to the movie for free and getting a free ticket instead for another movie. DOOOHHH!!! Oh yeah, and i found out today that i got owned in the test that i thought i did really well on (chem 1C) ACK. Well not owned, but not as well as i thought that i did. List of stuff that ive learned (continued): 24. "Be prepaaarrreeddd!!" - Scar from lion king. - Waaiiii taking a midterm when you haven't studied for it is scary. Stidy study study!! Study even if there isn't gonna be an exam because they could always surprise you!! Also, when u see your friend wind up with a baseball, DON'T take it lightly. She probably is gonna throw a missle at some tender parts of your body. When buying tickets for a group of friends, write down everyone who wants to come! I bought 6 tickets, ran back and bought 2 more tickets incase we needed a couple more. OMG we were still one short. Current Mood: thirsty (Comment on this)

3:51 pm	Speedy sinkers and shins Lately I have been reading a Manga called Naruto. So awesome! read like 170 chapters in 2 days hehe. Can we say addicted? Yup yup, its all about ninjas. Lost so much sleep over that. Also over Ragnarok online as i have stated before. So as a result of a weeks worth of insomnia, i slept like 15 hours today. Yesterday, Sid, Cindy, and I were playing catch. Well, it was more like throwing missiles at each other. Ive learned that i an a horrible thrower. Ive also learned that im a worse catcher. So what happened? Cindy winds up and says, "You ready?" Me: as ready as ill ever be To cut a short story shorter, i see the ball come at me, grab it, only to realize that its about 6 inches below where i thought it was. X____x. about a subway sandwich distance from the ball to my glove. So instead of catching it with my glove, i decided to catch it with my shin. Cindy tells me that some people can't see sinkers i think it was. (i thought, so THATS what a sinker is) basically a ball that heads for your chest or something, and drops to hit your shin or knee cap. That was the end to my tennis plans. haha Chem is gonna so screw me over. Tried to do the hmwk and was like *scratch head* *squint hard at screen* *tapping desk with fingers* after about 2 hours of that, i still failed both assignments. Midterm is next wednesday. oh joy. Will's Constitution: 23. Take fast things slowly. - When seeing Cindy or some other scary person wind up with a baseball in hand, do not be afraid to move to a safe distance. When your professor blows by you with a chem lecture, be sure to go back and get your proper explanation. When dumb TA's give you 0 credit for something u did because they probably graded everything so fast that they lost it, be sure to, um, discuss it with them. Current Mood: relaxed (Comment on this)

10:20 pm	Hi ho its off to work i go Sleep has been at a premium. Personal subway work time record set today for me. 2 - closing. First time i was scheduled ever for closing. Tired Tired. I have recently gotten Ragnarok Online and have been playing it for like 2 days straight. (Still low level...). In addition, working hard to get good grades in the blasted Arasassingham Chem class. Im a bio major!! Not a Chem! Studying everyday for his chem material (maybe 30 minutes to hours when the chem materials are interesting...). Needless to say more often than not, i study for about nothing. Games Games Games. Oh yeah, Xenosaga steals lots of sleep too. I moved from 18k to 16k rank in Go. Still get owned by everyone though... dunno. Must get better. Practicing Tennis a lot too. It's more practicing solo lately though because noone really wants to play with me no more. Spent last weekend drilling myself on serving. Haven't made the least bit improvement in performance. Why am i working so hard on tennis? Last friday, my uncle asked me how my tennis was. We talked for a bit. Suddenly he told me to show him my service form. I took my time getting the perfect stance. went through everything in my mind. Every step. Every nuance. I knew the serve form. I was the serve form. then i did the serve. I guess falling over backward laughing could be considered a positive response... because that is exactly what my uncle did. IM GONNA SHOW HIM!! *shakes fist* Also learning how to throw a baseball and how to use a baseball glove. The throwing is improving a bit. The catching is not haha. Jamin lets me use his soft ball glove that doesn't fit very well and doesn't catch very well. What can i say. One positive thing about practicing my service form and throwing baseballs is that my right arm is getting more and more muscular. (left arm kinda left in the dust). So now i gotta do 2 handed backhand for tennis to keep the two arms even. Who could imagine Me as cut ^___^. *flex* *Pose* ok ok enuff showing off. I still got a bit of pudge to get rid of hehe. Will's Constitution: 22. R & R is important. - After 5 days worth of abusing my arm. I kinda felt the effects in my shoulder, elbow, back... Screwed me up so badly that it hurt to Shampoo. 23. Getting into a new game or book or Anime during the school year is bad. - Xenosaga, Ragnarok, Naruto... Go... Tennis.. That's more than one. Killing my will power. killing my sleep. Killing my arm. Killing my grades. hahahaha ah wellz! Current Mood: lazy (Comment on this)

11:07 pm	Shooting for the pocket School has been an interesting experience as of late. Bombed a stats quiz as well as a chem midterm. Did ok... on a psych test and am waiting for results for the Anthro Midterm. Stats midterm is so far into the future that it doesn't matter that much (next week). Outta sight outta mind right? Missed a lab but that's what the one dropped lab is for right? =D Getting better at tennis! My shots actually go over and im starting to develop a proper form for perhaps the first time ever. Elbow has been getting the brunt of the shock and ive been feeling it as of late. The correction to my form is already taking effect in that my shoulder and elbow don't hurt as much. And there has been no loss, in fact an increase in ball speed and power!! Yesss!! Serve still sucks. Backhand still sucks. Same old same old. Pool!! Beat Arthur TWICE. IN A ROW. Shall be known as Art collector from now on because, Art, I OWN YOU, the world, Jamaica, and most importantly bragging rights. Also decided to make new rules for playing Sean. If you lose, you get poked in the butt with the cue stick. If you miss a common shot, you get poked in the butt. If you scratch, you get poked in the butt. If you see me walking around Zot Zone with blue marks on my pants, you'll know why. *sweat sweat* im gonna be cleaning my pants a lot from now on! Stuck William the seal in the washing machine!! Soaked him for two days and he came out decently white hahaha. Still some light smudges of darkness here and there but all in all he's a Caucasian seal again! John told us this mind riddle yesterday... A man is pushing a car towards a hotel. The hotel owner is happy. What is the situation?... does that make any sense to you? it sure didn't to me! we were allowed to ask as many yes or no questions as we wanted. Took us hours. Sobness ill tell the answer at the end of this ok? wait no i wont!! You'll just have to suffer as i did. John! I hope you lose your hair and have to grow ChiaPet on your head to replace your hair!!! GRRRRRRRRR!! SUCH A HARD RIDDLE Random silly stuff happened also. Guy comes to Subway and asks if we have a new sandwich. What do i say? Let me quote. "We don't have a new sandwich but we do have a new bread! It's really good. Oh yeah!! We also have new onions! they aren't white!" *picks up a piece of onion to show the customer and gets a closer look at the onion* "Wait! It IS white but it has purple on it!!" Cindy laughed... Darren laughed. Even the stoic customer seemed amused. Much better than when i asked a girl if she wanted chips or a drink. After saying no to me, she turns to Darren and says, id like a meal please O___o. And UCI is supposed to be full of intelligent people eh? Oh yes! While Alberto is trying to restock the chips, Darren walks by and happens to step on a box completely obliteratting every chip in the box. I turn to him and say, "What should I ask the customers now Derran? Would you like a drink and crumbs with that?" Yea, that would be the random silliness at work. Cindy Broke the DDR machine a while ago but it got fixed (pads included)! Finally everyone is getting back into shape again! People are now dominating the area near the DDR machine. Why do they have to bring a TV and their video games to the zot zone? (those game addicts...) The effects of being a bio major are starting to come into full relief. Today, denise leaves the food court full of determination - she was on her way to class! Cindy bets us 10 bucks that denise would return within 10 minutes. Smart as i am, i chose to SAVE my 10 bucks. Sure enough, as we are leaving the food court, denise calls and tells us that she's in the Zot zone. Puahahah. Bio majors are Lazy as heck. Also, Cindy has been telling me some pretty nerdy jokes such as "what do you do with a dead chemist? Barium!" or "Why are Alaskan bears more soluble than North America bears? Because they are Polar!" or "What do you get when u combine Potassium, nickle, and iron? KNiFe!!" The sad part is that i actually understand what she is talking about. The sadder part is that i liked the jokes. Bio majors are Lazy AND nerdy. Not a good combo. Nor is it a flattering one. Will's Constitution continued: 20. Never lose your sense of humor - If your sense of humor is gone all you are gonna be left with is depression. Take life in stride and do your best to be happy no matter what happens ya? 21. Speak the truth or don't speak at all. - If you lose in pool or something, don't try to act like an idiot and act like u weren't trying!! (im not guilty of that!! honest!) But if you do win, don't forget to rub it in! Current Mood: happy (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:44 pm	Art of Desperation, kool name! Art of Desperation. A new title that have recieved from Brian Hsieh. Thanks! It's not my fault that I am always half dead in every game of StarCraft that i play. But i like it! I think i will keep that title. Maybe shorten it to ArtofDesperate or DesperateArt to make it fit on B.net. Helped Darren out at work for a bit today (after ditching Bio stats that is). Apparently, 2 seconds after i came to offer my assistance the first time, a humongo line formed. =D. sorry darren! Worked some of my French charm in Cindy's Chinese class. Ni hao piow liang! Tried to charm the chinese teacher with something along the lines of you are very beautiful. Cindy said it was a total success. Perfect pronounciation and everything! Also learning to say, "I need to go to the bathroom!" Something like Wo yow sang tsuh swow. Tongue twister... Working on it! Went to McD with everyone (Jamin, denise, kevin, and cindy). Tried to put two packets of spicy salsa into the chicken sandwich... dumb idea... Took all my will power to not run to the bathroom and stuff my head in the toilet. I think i was descreet about it though. Noone seemed to have noticed my face turning red haha. If they did, everyone was kool enuff to not mention it. Will's Constitution (more stuff that i learned) 19. Smile! - Smiling is something we should always do all the time. (department of the redundancy department). If someone looks like they are about to kill you, a smile might confuse them! Same with road raged drivers who are about to run u over for J walking. And smiling is just comfortable for everyone when u are with friends. Sometimes all you need is a smile when words are too cumbersome and unnecessary.
