[Glee - My Life Would Suck Without You]
I was actually on YouTube to listen to another song before I found out someone put up the video for this one. Honesty, I didn’t really like the Kelly Clarkson version, but I loved this one.
“I know that I’ve got issues, but you’re pretty messed up too.”
Someone should have reminded me that wanting to be with someone in general can sometimes suck just as much as wanting to be with someone specific.
T_T
Did anyone else watch the miniseries Alice on SyFy? I thought it was really good, haha. This was the only pic I could find with both Alice and Hatter.
DVD, plz.
All I Want For Christmas Is Us - Jason Mraz (featuring Tristan Prettyman)
More like Tristan Prettyman featuring Jason Mraz, but I’m really digging it.
“They say wishing for you is like wishing for snow in California.”
Happy Birthday, Harold!
Rona, Isabel, Evelyn, Daniel, Harold, and I went to Saba’s house today to hang out since most of us are on break already. Besides it being a chill night, we planned a surprise birthday for Harold because he hates surprises, haha. All of us donned Harold masks when he walked in the door, but he wasn’t too creeped out. Oh well.
Night mostly consisted of some of the most random chats, Clue, Mafia, and a little bit of Mulan.
Saba: You better pick that up.
Me: Let’s make confetti!
Saba: Yeah, if you want to sit down and vacuum it up.
Rona: I don’t think normal people sit down and vacuum.
Daniel: It must be a Persian thing.
Rona: If Alvin wins, I’m gonna shoot someone.
Me: It was Rona in Saba’s house with the revolver!
Rona: That’s an accident waiting to happen.
Me: You’re an accident that’s already happened.
Saba: Why are we having an orgy in the lounge?
Rona: It was Miss Scarlet with Miss Scarlet in Miss Scarlet.
Harold: See? There is a gun!
Rona: That’s the revolver.
Harold: Then what’s the other thing?
Rona: There is no other thing.
Harold: The one that looks like a machine gun.
Evelyn: That’s the wrench!
Oh, it feels good being in the Valley again.
Dang, I freakin’ called it! Ahh, haha. Man, I actually feel more relieved than anything. Over it and over you. Time to have a regret-free Winter Break. :]
It’s 5 in the morning and I’m still awake. I guess I got over the hump of tiredness from being at Club Rochester’s going away party for much longer than I expected.
On the drive home, I did a lot of thinking. Honestly, it still hasn’t hit me that a lot of my friends, including my mentor, are actually leaving LA. I thought that it wouldn’t be so weird considering that it was similar to when the fourth years graduated in the Spring, but at least then I knew they would still be around.
I don’t know. I talked to my mentor about how he’s been feeling and he’s pretty sad about leaving too. Near the end, when most everyone had left, he called me over to the couch and we took a mentor/mentee picture. Melancholy to the max. I mean, how do you deal with that? How do you deal with leaving a place you’ve spent 4+ years in? How do you leave the people you’ve made strong relationships and memories with?
Then again, you never truly leave.
Barbara and I were talking about moving on in another context at the party and how sometimes, even if you take off that band-aid, there is still that scar. Even if you finally get to the point where you fall out of love with a person, there will always be that remnant left behind. What stage am I in?
Moving on can be such a difficult thing to do, but that’s how we grow, right? That’s how we learn and that’s how we are able to do better next time.
Time is so limited in this world. There are some things that I don’t have the time to waste on anymore, but at the same time, there are things that there is not enough time to deal with.
Part of the challenge is figuring out what’s worth it and spending time with people who know you are worth their time as well.
Even though I was done with finals on Tuesday, I went back to UCLA today.
JP and I had a 1-on-1 in the SAC. Finally went out to get ice cream, even though it was only at Kerkhoff and not the Baskin Robbins near his house. I get kicks creeping out my PA buddy, haha. To think I was really intimidated by him for being project director when I first got into SPACE.
We talked about El Camino site and where I saw myself next year and it totally veered in a direction that I never thought it would. JP totally challenged me to think about what other options I had and I basically had a revelation about an opportunity I may want to try for, but we’ll save that talk here for, oh, I guess Spring Quarter.
He’s so proud of the word he made up for me — creetator, a combination of creeper and hater, even though I am not a creepr and it’s him who is the hater. JP Bareng Schuhater. It was a good 1-on-1.
Afterwards, I dropped off my Filipino coursereader, talked to Ron for a bit, and then headed up to the dorms to eat lunch with my mentee. He used up his last swipe! Yeahh! It’s kinda weird saying “see you next year” when December still has a couple weeks left.
I think that I’m going to my mentor’s party tonight at Club Rochester. Ahh, he’s going back to San Jose on the 20th. He still wants to hang out next week before he goes though.
We’ll figure something out.
