Captchas.
So. I am fighting a losing battle with comment spam. So, in my sheer hope to make comment spam GO AWAY, I tried to moderate comments, but apparently spam just overwhelmed the shit out of me, and I ended up deleting non-spam comments (whoops). So, now I've put in captchas. It *sort of* works. I think I need to tweak it a little bit. BUT, at least I no longer need to moderate comments. YES.
Oh. Life is going. Chinese is hard. I am hungry. Naruto still kicks ass. Step class is going to be awesome today. Rain needs to STOP. I need internet at home. Deprived.

Blah blah and blah
A bulleted list of the things (un)exciting things that have been happening in my life (hurrah!):
1. Finding a crappy apartment which has ceilings so low that some of my taller friends (ie, over six three) cannot fit under.
2. Playing lots of poker (and losing lots of money, all to JIM. Bastard)
3. Going bouldering. First time ever. Gin = not very good. But *will* get better
4. Watching crap tons of Naruto. So good. Don't ever end...
5. Getting plane ticket to Chicago for Labor Day weekend (YES!...lots of shopping and eating!)
6. Having friends call up at 8am b/c they are at WaHo (without me!) and have been partying until said time. Jealous.
7. Driving around Pittsburgh trying to find UPS pickup center (which have been to at least five times) and getting lost. And driving through North Hills, and *circling* around said UPS center for at least a good 30 minutes (sigh)
And...that's about it. School starts on Monday. Taking Chinese. Hehehe. Hopefully I won't get lazy and decide to drop. Guess I should probably take a technical class too. Should I take volleyball again?

Atlanta as always
My entry from earlier while stuck at the ATL airport (hate=Delta):
So. I'm in the Atlanta airport now, waiting for my flight back to Pitts(barfs?)burgh. Here are the things I have learned in the last few hours:
1. California Pizza Kitchen, despite being a chain, = YUM.
2. I am *so* cheap. Making me pay for a gym pass ($5) means I decide to work out an extra hour to make it "more worth it."
3. Hanging out with friend until 3:45 when time for departure from home is 4:00 is a DUMB DUMB (did I mention, dumb?) idea because:
4. Forgetting to bring ipod mini, and knowing not going to have ipod mini for a long ass time = SUPER SUCK.
ARGH. I am so sad I forgot my ipod mini. How the hell am I supposed to work out now? GRRR. So frustrated with self. I can see it...*imagine* it on the kitchen counter. I wonder how much I have to bribe my brother to get him to actually send it to me...
Anyway. Atlanta has been fun. As always (when I visit, at least). Despite the paper, the humidity, the drama that is not related to me but I get caught up in...I am still a little sad to go. Everybody is growing up, and it's freaking me out a little bit. GGGOOOSSSSHHHH...I heart my Atlanta friends...

Heck yeah.
Done.
So. What should I do with myself for the next couple of days? Been so "busy" with the paper, I feel like I'm being a good student (harhar). Now I only have one and half days left and still so many people I want to hang out with. Everytime I come back to ATL, I feel like there are not enough meals while I am here to meet up with all the people I want to meet with, and this depresses me much. I haven't even eaten Krystals (or Chick-fil-a!!!) yet. What's up with that.
But yeah...jam packed for the next few days. Gonna be sad when I leave Atlanta. Especially since I am still homeless in Pittsburgh. Gosh...my irresponsibility is impressive. :)

Friday in the ATL
Grace, Dave and I met up for dinner tonight at Maggianos (love). And then Bert showed up and left (girlfriend), and then Eric joined us. We went to 1150 for Minna's bday party (very drunk) and met up with some of her friends. They got kicked out. Eric was very busy SMSing people (a person really) while Grace and Dave were "looking for a friend" (which we all know what THAT means). Bert was MIA until we found him at Loca Luna. So...we went there. Bad music. Ok drinks. As the bday girl at Loca Luna had already left, we headed over to Halo. Halo = not very crowded, but free cover for females, so I mean, how could I *really* complain? We stayed there for a while. Drank a few drinks, stayed at the bar and checked out people (not much) and then... WAFFLE HOUSE! Of course, we ate all the leftovers from Maggianos on the car, so we weren't extrordinarily hungry, but STILL. WAHO. Love the WAHO. Gosh. I miss WAHO. As always.
I didn't think that I would partake in much alcohol today b/c I was *so* tired when we were driving to 1150. But I did. I kind of feel a little bit out of control. Not really sure why. I wonder what is going on in my brain. Someone care to enlighten me?

This is me...saying the things no one cares about
SO.
I fixed my blog (finally, thank goodness. Eric, you are my hero). And here are the things that I have decided are true:
1. Berekeley DB is a POS. My blog broke five billion times b/c of it. MySQL is much better. It *feels* better. I have no idea what I am talking about, but trust me, it's better. WHY did I think that I would go the layman's way in the first place is...beyond me...should've just asked...
2. Exporting/backing up your entries is a *GOOD* idea. I have been rifling through my broken db trying to salvage my last few entries and umm...it's...hard. And corrupted (AGAIN!!).
3. I feel inclined to blog all day, every day, every moment. SO happy unbroke. Too bad this also means shitpiles of spam. I will fix that too.

So...drunk?
God. Miss Eric and Bert. Karoke with lots of soju (spelling?) is a bad idea. Did you know that when you are drunk you are a MUCH better singer? Or you think you are? Well...I did.
Of course we (being Bert) drunk dialed people. Sorry, people. I made a bet that people would not pick up...and friggin A...I was RIGHT! Surprise surprise.
You know you are buzzed when you bum a cigarette off the WAFFLE HOUSE WAITER and then proceed to smoke with him.
*Sigh* Man. I really like being chinese. Hahahaa....
I wish i could drink more. I must be...depresssed? I miss this feeling...and it's only been.................a week...
I am a lush. Thank you.

Geeking out
I *totally* almost turned down hanging out with Bert and Eric so that I could fix my blog. Bert's response, "Your WHAT?"
Good thing they like to play late, and so now they're picking me up.
To karoake.
Scary.

Airport
Like Cindy: Obligatory "free wireless at the airport!" blog entry. Of course, cooler still is that I don't have to be in the food court. I am sitting *at my gate.* Ok...so yeah, I get excited over stupid stuff.
Bad: Flight delayed for two hours (WTF did I wake up at 6am again?)
Good:
1.First time online shopping in THREE MONTHS. Guilt free b/c hey, who does work when their flight is delayed?
2. Learned words to Tension's "Our story." Super appropriate for how I feel. Don't comment on that. :P
Ok...flight is boarding now. GGGOOOSSSHHH. Free wireless. :P

OMG. This could *TOTALLY* maybe happen. I don't want to count chickens before my eggs hatch (or whatever the stupid saying is), but HOLY CRAP.
The only problem as of right now: fellowship. If I get paid fellowship money I will *CRY*. Seriously. Just like, roll over and die.
But HOLY CRAP!
Gosh. It's great to be a girl sometimes. :P
Ok! Back to work!

I hate when I'm bored
I hate when I'm bored and I have no one to IM.
I must need more friends.
Done with the presentation. Gotta shorten it to 15 minutes for the next one. Played laser tag for the first time. I was "good" at first (comparatively speaking) but then everyone else got better and I...I stayed the same *sigh*.
Gonna go flying around the Bay area later today. First time in a small plane! Super stoked. Yay!

I am so smart
So last night, I went to bed a little earlier than I wanted. Half way while practicing my talk (in my head), I fell asleep on myself(impressive, isn't it?). The kind where you wake up and you have an imprint of your keyboard on your face? Yeah, that was me.
So ANYWAY, I decided to get up early this morning to go to the gym and practice a little bit more. I get up later than I wanted (snooze is bad. Turning off snooze is worse.), and so don't get to work out as much as I want. As I get to my cube, I realize "HOLY F*CK, I forgot to upload my presentation." So, as I have a presentation today, I had to drive my ass home and fight through rush hour traffic just to upload my presentation. It was SUPER fun.
Thirty minutes later I am back, and WTF am I doing? Blogging. Instead of being good and doing work. *sigh*
PS. Someone make my comments work again...I am sad. I can't even export my entries. This is *not a good sign*. I think I hate MT. Or maybe I am just retarded...

Events
Recap:
1. I got the third holes in my earlobes repierced. It hurts.
2. Salsa dancing is mad crazy fun. Especically with dance partners that know what they are doing. Not fun when the dance partner tells you, "Come back when you are better." (grrr...)
3. Last weekends are depressing.
4. A&J Cafe is yum.
5. I have the bestest roommate in the world.
6. Not starting to do work until Sundays at 5pm is a bad idea. Panic.

No Surf
We went to Santa Clara again today, hoping to surf. No waves, so we went and played volleyball again.
We 'played' for a few hours until the sand got too hot to stand on anymore. I didn't think I played that hard (since you know, not having good eye hand coordination is problematic), BUT, my arms and hands cannot stop shaking.
As I type, I am trying really hard not to just splatter all over my keyboard.

bro: hci?
bro: what's that?
bro: hard core interface?

Part II of my love
So. This is the next correspondence:
Me: Actually, I have a copy of matlab. I was asking *which* matlab tool
would give me the symbolic solution. . .
Her: So, have you solved it?
SO. Like...am I talking to a wall? Is she avoiding the question? WHY OH WHY.

Comments of the moment
Here are the things that have run through my head:
1. Waiting for non-existent phone calls frustrates me beyond belief.
2. Trying to bike with a huge bruise on your knee is a stupid idea.
3. Wetsuits are NOT warm. I am still cold.
4. I only have two weeks left at HP and I am nowhere close to done.
