Nothing too special today... woke up at 12:45 and called Dan, to see if he wanted to get lunch... but he already ate... he came over to say bye, and we hung out for an hour... have fun in Germany doode...for anyone who feels like keeping track of Dan... dancingermany.blogspot.com... so he left around 2ish... I ragged for a little bit... died at 89%.... gayyy.... I quit after that, because I was out of pots and my merc has no money.... found out that servers were shutting down for 3 months "sometime next week".... watched my 3:30 - 5:00 block of tv, but it got cut short because I had to go set up for senior appreciation.... that went pretty well.. got home about an hour ago.... went to rag and found out that "sometime next week" is like a couple hours ago... those fags.... anyways.... people were acting weird tonight.... Naomi and Tiff were like drunk...and then after Naomi kept claiming that her flower smelt like her track meets.... I don't know, so don't ask... haha... went to hang out at Peter's... and Arthur shared his latest dream.... he was standing around and everyone around him started saluting German style and shouting "Hail Hitler!!" and they all bowed down... and Hitler came and Art was the only one standing... that's all....ok... I'm tired... I wish to sleep...so I'll do that...good night all....

I'm planning two blogs today... this one will be about yesterday... hehehe ... and the second one will, of course, be about today....
Yesterday, i got up around 8:30ish because I had to go to my mom's office to help her move boks around and stuff... after we got to the office, my mom told me she had a meeting and that I could rest for a bit first... so I slept until 11 AM in the car... then I got up... and opened the door... or at least tried to... apparently you can't open Lexus doors from inside without a key, so I was locked inside the car..... and then the alarm went off... I guess Lexus thinks thiefs try to break out of cars instead of breaking in..... so anyways, my mom heard the alarm and opened the door for me... I moved books for like 30 minutes and then she took me home... after I got home, I screwed around online and appreciated my 1337 new cpu... made some plans with Kim, Angie and Kevin to go watch Minority Report, so we did that... got a ride home from Kim....after I got home I started to Rag... set a new leveling record... from 31 to 32 in 26 minutes... damn you level fast now.... POTS ARE SO DAMN EXPENSIVE NOW..... anyways, after I finished Ragging I went to watch my tape of Smackdown... and then I went to sleep...

My goodness what a day!
I finished The Rainmaker by John Grisham... 434 pages within a span of thirty hours.. I'm satisfied
To start off this wonderful day, I was awaken around 11 with the sounds of a ringing doorbell.... expectations soaring, I leaped out of bed, threw on some pants (sorry for imagery)... ran to the door... and there he was... the man I've been waiting for nearly a week... after days of anticipation... the Fed Ex guy had arrived with my new computer!!!!!!!!!!! w000000000000000000000000000000000000t!!!!!
After I carried the tower to my room and ripped into the packaging, I decided to go online (with my old computer) and figure some stuff out... talked to some people... then I started switching all my wires over to my new computer... turned on the new computer... installed Windows 98 SE (Thanks A113n)... took one look at my hard drive and the ugliness of my desktop and started freaking out.... my precious 40.0 GB HD had been reduced to 2.0 GB and my supposedly kick ass Geforce 3 video card left me with the opions of 16 color or 2 color and the set resolution of 640 X 480 Pixels.... of course, knowing nothing about computers, I started freaking out... I switched all wiring back to my old computer and booted it up... went online and asked around... Raymond suggested that I try INSTALLING THE DRIVERS! (I'm brilliant I know).... so i soon fixed the problem with the pixelation and coloring.... unfortunately Raymond was clueless about the memory problem.... which really sucked... so anyways, I called tech support for ibuypower.com and they walked me through the process of deleteing a queer partition and reinstalling windows... so that problem got fixed.... and then came my biggst problem.... NO INTERNET!!!!!.... aih yah... but by the time my graphic card and my memory were properly set up it was 3:30 and we all know that at 3:30 we must go watch Jackie Chan Adventures, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh so I did that until 5.... did not want to deal with the internet problem because I was getting fed up with the CPU... lazed about... more TV.... dinner... and then all of a sudden my mom tells me she has to go to some prayer meeting.. and asks me if I want go to my Grandma's... so I make some calls... contact my peepz... and soon, Dan C. Evan and I are cruising in my Mom's GS 400 to my Grandma's hood.... we shoot some pool ... then went to that weak mini gym thing downstairs... and then we went for a dip...I discovered that the jacuzzi at my Uncle's place is pretty damn cold... but it might have just been tonight...I got home around 9:30~10:00-ish and went back on the new cpu to see if I could figure it out... of course, I couldn't... so I switched the wires back to my old cpu and went online... asked around to see what people thought... most people said I didn't need the drivers for my DSL modem, just some software... didn't know what software to look for... so I just lounged for a bit.... looked at the Verizon help card thing to see if they could provide info and saw that the Tech Support was 24/7!!!!!! How awesome! I called them, explained my problem to some Mexican guy (you could tell from his accent) and he helped me figure out that I needed to install drivers for my NIC card... at this point, I was feeling brilliant...... ha-ha-ha... anyways, I put in the driver CD they gave me.... but that CD is used for all products by the company which made my mother board... so I had to switch back to my original computer again to find out that my motherboard is the AX45 V SIS 645 Chipset With LAN... yahoooooooo.... so I switched the wiring again and set up my drivers... I couldn't figure out how to install the drivers for my NIC card though... so I screwed around with that and fortunately I stumbled the installation file... w00t... so I installed the drivers to my NIC card and guess what baby... I'M POSTING THIS FROM MY NEW 1.6 GHZ, 40 GB, 512 MB RAM UBER 1337 CPU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIMME A HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......
A couple of side notes about what happened at my Grandma's..... I lost in pool to Dan in like 3 shots... because I got an unlucky bounce and hit the 8-ball in.... Dan beat Evan that way too... then I beat Evan that way... then Evan beat Dan that way... and for the last game... Dan actually hit the 8-ball into the pocket he called when I had one ball left on the table.... only scary thing of the night was when Dan slipped by the pool and said he was feeling naseous, so we went inside the club house and after lying down for a little he felt fine so we all went home...
PS This blog took me about 30 minutes to write.... and if that seems excessive... it's only because.... that's right... you guessed it... I WAS PLAYING RAGNAROK ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Now I should go sleep, because I have to help my mom move boxes around tomorrow morning at 8:30... but I'll Rag until 2:30.... JUST BECAUSE I CAN!

Highlight of the day: I did So Many Men, with Lucky Charms, the magically delicious gay porn star!
Kevin, Kim and Angie came over around 7ish and we watched Ocean's Eleven.... Angie fell asleep during the movie... (she fell somewhere else too, but never mind that).....after the movie (and much laughing at the Chinese guy who, for some reason, Kevin thought looked gay .... we played some Bust A Groove.... and I found out that I sitll have a Bust A Groove file on my memory cards! How fun! Did some DDR, did some arm wrestling... Kevin tried to get freaky with me on the couch or something... that was the low point of the night.... Costco pizza is still delicious... I showed them Parappa the Rapper, now THAT is a fun game! Gets some great laughs....
Thanks for a fun night everyone, I really needed it because I was bored out of my mind!! Kim, I hope your hand feels better soon.
I realized earlier today that I finished 272 pages of The Rainmaker by John Grisham in one day! I feel so special!
I hope my computer comes tomorrow.... and I hope I find a way to get IE on it... aih yah!
That's all... I'm tired

Nothing very fun today.. took a two hour nap from 4:30 to 6:30... that was the highlight of the day...
CONGRATS TO KIM, KEVIN AND CHRISTINE (and Angie too)
I hope you feel better soon Angie... and your hand too Kim... that sucks... anyway.. for today I'm just gonna post a bunch of dreams of my weird friend Arthur
The first three dreams were from freshman year, and Dan Chen faithfully typed them out and saved them because he knew they were gonna make great read later on in life, and they do!
Here we go
Dream #1:
Arthur is riding in his new Infinity QX4 with his mom driving in the front. Suddenly, his SUV become a spaceship, cruising through the heavens. The car is running out of gas, so his mom flies to a nearby gas station. A little bug fills up their car. A shadowy figure, however, tries to trap Arthur and his mother. Fortunately, Arthur jumps out of the window, barely escaping. Sadly, the enemy catches and arrests his mother. Acting on his instincts, Arthur jumps into a small cardboard box. He needed to get away quickly, so he tries to fly with it. "Jump, Jump! JUMP!" and with that, he soars away.
Dream #2:
Arthur is in PVIS for Chinese School. Strangely, he sees people in the room are white, including the teacher. He sees Felicia Yau amongst his classmates. "Screw this," Arthur thinks to himself, and leaves. Outside, there is a war going on. Japanese soldiers line up outside of a fence, trying to break in. American soldiers quickly rush to defend and attack. One American soldier set up a 40mm machine gun. A skateboard with a human face on it appears. The skateboard starts walking toward the fence, but then is shot by a few rounds of 40mm bullets. "Why the hell did you do that?" Arthur screams at the soldier. As a result, the soldier who killed the walking skateboard is arrested.
Dream #3:
In the setting of the TV show, Beast Wars, Arthur, along with the Maximals, are carrying a rhino egg (yes, even though rhinos are mammals) running from a stampede of rhinoceroses. They try to go into a cave, but the Predacon, Tarantulus, blocks the entrance somehow. The Maximals blow up the blockade, and storm in. The cave is filled with eggs, but Tarantulus starts attacking with guns. The Maximals retaliate by throwing potatoes at Tarantulus
AHAHHAHAHAH
And then Arthur decided to grace us with one more dream that he had recently:
whywhy9: so im in this "prostitution house"
whywhy9: thats better than whore house rightw? *
whywhy9: so anyway
whywhy9: there we people making babies, obviously
Hi People Its Ed: that's fun!
Hi People Its Ed: wait
Hi People Its Ed: nm
Hi People Its Ed: go on
whywhy9: and i was cruishing through the hallway
whywhy9: on those cars
whywhy9: like the ones u find in schoool
whywhy9: anywa
whywhy9: like i was goin through room from room checking to see if everythign is ok
whywhy9: all of a sudden
whywhy9: COPS CAME
whywhy9: so i was like "holy whack" i gotta go
* This was in a church chat room, and when he started telling it earlier everyone yelled at him for saying whore house
Dan Chen also decided to share one of his dreams...
derange3k: i was with my mom and aunt in my room. i think we were reading or something.
derange3k: 2 chinese guys try to break into the house, but we prevent them from.
derange3k: then we think they are leaving in their green tercel,
derange3k: but the next thing i knew they were going to drive into my house.
derange3k: so i called 911. (interestingly enough, there was a button for [9] and one for [11] as well as one for just [1] on the phone).
derange3k: apparently rachel was volunteering there or something cause she picked up.
derange3k: and then the guys are just about to hit the house and i wake up
OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I just found another Arthur dream that I had forgotten about...
So im at home eating pizza, I start with 3 slices, and im still hungry. So my mom puts in 3 more slices in the oven. And of course I eat it.
I find myself suddenly in a the car driving around. I discover I am a pizza deliverer. Im lost in the streets, but I find a location to deliver. Its called (im not sure kinda fuzzy), Golidness. It was raining.
his place was a indoor shopping mall, and I find myself walking around, window shopping.
All of a sudden I see a wall, its painted like a door. IT open up, and out comes a girl (she is from the show charmed, the one with the black hair) She says hi, she was wearing one of those old western clothes.
Yes so im still trying to deliever pizza, and I walk around and find a way out of the mall, I go up a hill and deliver pizza to a hermit. He gives me money,a nd I leave.
am then driving again, and I drive down a garage, several stories down. This homless guys is there, and he give me coins for my troubles.
I remember I was pissed and drove away. So im back at the mall, still raining and I leave the mall, go up another hill and deivlevr pizza to a talking dog. He tells me the fog will soon
I run back towars the mall, but I realize im too late, the fog has made everyone evil, and it eventually touched me too. So to take away the evil, I ripped my skin off. And I became an ape. Then I was like swinging around.
Isn't it great? I love my friends...
And before anyone asks, yes I got permission before posting these dreams.

Goooooood morning people!
What I did today.... I went swimming with Josh at the YMCA and we got to see all the naked men in that dirty locker room.... I think I kicked some lady in the head while I was doing laps... ^_^;;... OH! BEFORE I FORGET! GOOD LUCK ON THAT TRIO COMPETETION TO KIM AND KEVIN AND THEIR THIRD MEMBER.... yeah... ok... at the YMCA I saw Ben Wang's dad, Ben is a UCLA student and my Uncle... that was cool... Ben's sister was there too and she kept saying hi to me but I didn't recognize her so I just ignored her... only when she talked to her dad did it click as to who she was... I *KNEW* she looked familiar!
After the 'Y' we went to Korean market for some food, Josh and Calvin got some sushi and I got some weird Asian drink that was pretty good but Josh didn't like it. (I let him try some)... Josh and Calvin then decided that they were thirsty and I decided I was hungry so we stopped once again, only this time at a 7-11. I grabbed some Cheetos, Calvin grabbed a slurpee and Josh grabbed soem weird Sobe thing I think..
Got home, watched som friends, ate some dinner, chatted a little then went out to watch K-19: The Widowmaker.
Pretty good movie, but a little slow paced... the nuclear launch sequence was awesome.... pretty explosion... best line in the movie was: "We are good communists!" hahahahahahah... that was great... I found it ironic that all the writing in the submarine was in Russian but ALL the talking was done in English, with a Russian accent.
Not much else... so good bye for now...
