Engrish

Quite the terrible subject I am taking right now. Blah. I mean accounting was pretty easy. So was University 111 and 112 at VCU. I mean when we workshoppped papers, we did not need a final copy. In this class at Sarge, we do need a final. Blah. I am currently in the library doing it now. Its been about three hours-ish of research and typing. I kinda zone out for a bit and forget what I am writing. I am also running out of things to say. Whatevs. I'll be done soon. I am also hungry.

Anyways, yesterday I went to my grandmother's 84th birthday. I was debating bringing my camera, but I wasn't really in the mood. Perhaps another time. I should take some pics sometime though. Not quite sure of what and when and where though.

My second cousin from Norway is in the States now. Going to get her someday so she can visit here. She's a pretty cool cat.

July 4th is coming up. I am gonna go to the Genworth Financial thing again this year and see whats going on there. I'll definitely take pictures there. Fireworks, a band, and activities. It will be fun. Going to go with Stephanie and her mother. I asked what Davor was up to then, but he is working and such. Thursday night is Amber's 80's party. Perhaps I will go to that after the Genworth thing. Probably will. More pictures! YEAH! Haha. Good 80's themed portraits.

Anyways I am going to go back to my paper. I just needed something to take my mind off the paper for a bit.

Bourgeoisie

So I like the band The Submarines now. You, Me, and the Bourgeoisie is a pretty good song.

I don't have to much to update most of the time. Tis a shame. I just don't have too much time to go out and take pics and such. Maybe I'll snap a few tomorrow as I am doing errands.

You know what I find difficult? Trying to just put one space in between my punctuation and my next sentence. It is apparently more accepted to do that now.

This is kinda just like a random rant. Mehhhh haha. I am going to go format my desktop now. Oh and this whole paragraph pretty much had double spaces after each period. :)

OK GO!

So I went to the Fairfax County Fair on Friday. It was a lot of fun. A lot of driving, but a lot of fun :). Stephanie drove and we met up with her sister at her sister's house. Ate some stuff before the fair and headed off into the hell traffic. Took a shuttle from Fair Oaks Mall to the Fairfax Government Center and went to the fair! Yay! We first rode the Crazy Mouse. It was hilarious because Stephanie's sister was having difficulties on the turns and the seats were chaffing her and she kept on screaming out stuff. Next we rode some twirly spinny upside downy thing haha. Did a few fun houses, bumper cars, boat ride thing that swings in a pendulum, the laser "spectacular" in the Government Center, and much more. Ok Go was performing that night so Stephanie and I watched them as her sister wandered about the fair. There were a lot of people that looked like they were freshmen in high school or something. It was gross. Well after a while, we were gross and tired from the heat so we just ate funnel cake, sausages, and fried Oreos. I never had a fried Oreo before. It was interesting I have to say, but it was good.

Here are some photos I took at the Ok Go concert. They perform really well live I have to say.

Yay I'm Asian!


So in case you haven't seen, my doppleganger is on tv! I've heard it a million times! Stephanie freaked out when she saw me on tv. More like ROFL'ed and LOL'ed. Then over time, I kept getting facebook comments, phone calls, and texts about me being on tv. It was exciting lol.


Here's the book I want to get. Its a pretty cool nifty little guide that teaches you Japanese DIY tricks. Such as to cure a runny nose, with green onions! I want it :)

Well anyways, there was this time at Wal Mart yesterday when I was standing in line waiting to pay. There was this Asian lady and her daughter in front of me and Stephanie. They kept looking back at us and muttering something in a different language. Well I thought it was Viet, but it turns out it wasn't. I heard them say, "I think he's Chinese" in Cantonese. I was like whaa? are they talking about me? So they turned around and I was waving and saying helloo. Then we started speaking in Chinese to one another and asked me if Stephanie was my friend, where I was born, how long they have been in America, and how good my Chinese is for being and ABC.

Anyways I'll be uploading pictures sometime in the near future. Keep looking out for em.
