the 40s of may
So I fell asleep at like 2:40ish last night, woke up at 10:40ish, did nothing until 2:40ish again, and then took a nap till 4:40ish. I have not eaten all day because I now hate going down to the dining hall. This is because I am smart.
When I was little I had no idea what the following things were/what the following things looked like:
but these words would pop up all the time in the pre-teen/teen books I read, especially in the Baby-Sitters Club and Sweet Valley High series. I gathered enough from ~*context*~ that Mary-Janes were dressy girl shoes and that argyle was a pattern and a den was a type of room and everything, but I had noooo idea what they looked like. LOL I wasn't even sure about plaid for a while. I think this is one of the funny things about being second-generation when you're little; you don't have access to this type of cultural (? idk what to call it) knowledge since your parents probably don't know wtf penny loafers and shit are, and your ~peers~ might know but they themselves wouldn't use those words. Anyway I never looked them up, LOL. Actually I never really looked any words up unless it was impossible for me to understand what was going on without knowing that word. ~lazy since '88~
Ughhh what is wrong with this poassssst.
This is my favorite Pipettes song. It is also the first Pipettes song I heard. I am still heartbroken over Rose and Becki leaving the band. Why, the Pipettes? Why must you do this? (Wretched retarded confession: when I listen to Why Did You Stay?, I always sort of think about me andthe major Marine and how if he didn't have to go to Iraq our relationship would've become somewhat like the relationship in the song; ie me treating him like shit and him putting up with it b/c he was soooooo in loooooooove with me. AUGHHHHHHH. Marine was a TERRIBLE MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I typed each one of those exclamations with deliberation, I meant every single one of them. Anyway wrt to listening to songs and thinking 'omg that could be me': I am an imbecile. I HAVE NEVER GROWN UP, I AM STILL A LAMECORE 9 YR OLD.)
And I just spent 15 minutes recording myself (with my cell phone y'all) singing and talking and playing it back to see how my voice sounded. I do this shit periodically when my paranoia starts to steam. Haha I am ridiculous, I recorded myself singing words, singing ba-ba-bas (the end of the Lucksmiths' Music From Next Door), talking in English, talking in Korean, and why the hell not, talking in French (literally "je vais a la bibliotheque, j'aime bien la glace"). Conclusions, I am still really young and lispy sounding. Rorgh. My voice gets super-tiny when I talk in Korean, all automatic. I somehow sound hella obnoxious when I speak in French. LOL singing. Okay, when it is just me listening I think I sound okay in terms of voice even though I have zero range or uh quality. I can't hit any low notes. So it's like, for sounding like shit, I sound pretty okay! To me. Uhhhh. Yeah alright one more thing, I didn't know what to talk about so I just read the first parts of this post out loud and it was pretty fun to do. It's kinda funny b/c my posts really did match up to my regular speaking style. Except I can put more emotion into my posts than I can into my voice, since I am retarded in expressing myself physically. Anyway you guys should try it!
Oh my god Gillian Anderson is so beautiful. Here is a random youtube clip. Before I was all David Duchovny! why won't you love me! but that was because I didn't know any better. Gillian Anderson is so super beautiful. Also Scully is the amazingest.

!!! I was just like that too! I didn't know what stuff was, but I had a very general idea what they were because the details weren't usually necessary: Den? A room in a house. Argyle? Pattern. Mary Jane? Either shoes or a drug.
Okay, I guess the last one is context-dependent and actually matters.
Truefax: I didn't know what argyle was until the 5th grade because my teacher would always wear argyle sweaters, socks, and things.
YOU ARE NOT A LAMECORE 9 YEAR OLD. YOU ARE 19. AND NOT LAMECORE.
LOLL... I will forever associate high school French classes with, "je vais a la bibliotheque, j'aime bien la glace". You should've taken speech with Bananaluz and I freshmen year; we had to speek all proper and such into a recorder.
YAY, GA!

El-oh-el, Mary Jane. Sigh! Why do children's books have so many like specific details like that? I guess to work out the children's imagination?
Heeee, I think I learned what argyle was from Garfield when the titular cat said something about Jon's socks, and then they actually showed the socks! Me: ohhhhhh THAT'S what argyle is! Checkered diamond pattern!!
I AM THE LAMEST COREST PERSON I KNOW :(((
LOL French. Fact: those are 2 of the 10 sentences I remember in French. CA VA? COMME CI COMME CA. JE MANGE UN PAMPELMOUSSE. JE DETEST LES TESTES.
