A lighthearted post.. cause it's been a while.
So a few people who call me often have their own ringtone (or video ringtone) on my phone, and is usually pretty unique to that person.
Family (mom, dad, sister, house): MGS - codec
Basicly, this sounds just like, ring ring.. ring ring.. ring ring. Yeah. They complain how they have a boring ringtone. Then again, every time I hear ring ring.. there's somebody on the other line with new orders.
Eric Lee: (video ringtone) SNSD - Gee MV
Ridiculous SNSD fan gets annoying "gee gee gee gee baby baby baby" tone with dancing girls too! So, I can either pick up really really fast, or hit the "send busy tone" button really really fast to keep them from singing too long. They get annoying, fast, but it's the only thing they have that I moderately like though. Oh, and he shares this ringtone with Paulina, cept she never calls me.
Clarice Chang: (video ringtone) DBSK - Hahaha song (second version)
DBSK fangirl gets super noisy silly ringtone. Yeah, it grabs my attention fast, and Yunho is fun to watch. So, when I'm sad, just call Clarice? maybe. :P
Connie Lin: Tank - 鬥牛, 要不要
She made me try to learn to sing that song. That song is hard to sing. It's not a video ringtone cause the beginning of the MV is boring... and I'm too lazy to make it into one.
Jono Lee: Ocean Lab - Satalite
The first few notes actually make it sound like any other ringtone, cause.. most ringtones are technoy. Oh, and he does happen to be half a world away right now.. in cowland.
Mike Hsieh: Super Junior - It's You
Before this song came out, it used to be "Why I like you". That song had a nice beat to it. Then one day I read the lyrics and was like, oh, well, Mike does make me happy when he calls. OK.
Then I changed it to "It's You" cause it's newer, and it also has a nice beat to it. Then I read the lyrics for that, and um... I feel like a creeper. Haha.
Then everyone else gets "Those who Fight (Piano-FF7AC Version)" cause it makes an awesome ringtone.
Now accepting personal ringtone requests! Holla if you got one in mind.
Oh, in case you didn't notice, I made youtube links for references!
my first weekend back spring quarter 09
|
I've been trying very very hard to stay ahead in my work, up the point where people thought I was a little bit weird; cause seriously, who finishes work a week in advance?
Well the plus side it that it kept me extremely stress free, working at a super slow pace. But why bother getting a week ahead in work? You only need to be a day or two ahead to go out and party. Well, I wanted to go home, and since I never really get any work done at home, and books are heavy, and I actually had stuff I needed to do at home, so.. yeah, came home completely homework burden free.
First major thing I had to help take care of: our tenant is moving to NY, and the rest of the people aren't staying either. So we had to clean the house and start scouting out damages and areas of repair. Letting a bunch of recent college graduates live in a house for 7 years without ever maintaining does a lot to a house.
Basically, the house was filthy, with everything breaking, needing replacement, or repair.
Well, apparently these guys had a habit of using the garage as a warehouse (doesn't everyone?). Then they tended to move out without taking all their stuff with them. So there's a good several years of junk in there, and the last tenant needed to get rid of all of it. He tried the garage sale method last weekend, selling everything for 25 cents. Didn't work. So today when we came, he just told us if we saw anything we wanted in there we could keep it.
So me and my sister decided to go through everything. Most of it was just empty cardboard boxes and packaging styrofoam. But then there were also boxes filled with stuff. Found some very interesting stuff in there.. like..
-A Honda Civic tire, just one.
-..and his spare tire, I think
-Checkbooks. Yeah, these people left checkbooks behind.
-A wallet with ID and some money.
-Barbie Dolls. Honestly, WTF? It was always a bunch of guys living here.
-6 inch heels, for like, size 4 feet.
-Clocks. various weird clocks that all had dead batteries or didn't work or something.
So while we were looking through all this stuff, we thought, hey some of this stuff isn't that bad, it's a waste just throwing this away. So we kept some stuff..
-A TI-83+. When we found it, it turned on, so we were like, cool. When we got back home, it didn't work. So after a few battery changes, turns out the little flat disk battery was dead. Well I still had a spare one somewhere (from my first TI-83+ from like 6th grade that I dropped and broke). So after that it worked fine. Cool, now I have 3 graphing calculators (my sister's using one). Original owner probably thought it broke.
-A gamecube controller. Yeah. They probably dropped it in coffee or something, cause it had brown stick stuff all over it and all the buttons were like, stuck. So I rinsed (yes, like, drenched with the sink) it in water and had some fun with compressed air and its perfectly fine. It should work fine when it dries (hope so, if not, eh. oh well). If it does, I finally have a full set of controllers.
-A PS2 controller. Mine broke (Spike slept on it). It works great. Looks better than my old controller too.
-Cologne. Yeah, I'm so cheap I don't buy my own cologne. It was pretty much a full bottle of Nautica Latitude | Longitude. Smells pretty nice. Then I found out it retails for like $80.
-A clip-on wideview rear view mirror. I thought about getting one cause my mirror doens't even display my whole rear windshield. Now with this I can see the entire rear windshield from many many more angles. So my mirror doesn't have to be perfectly adjusted each time.
-Three 1/2" black binders. You never know when they're gonna come in handy, plus, they were practically new.
-Some picture frames. Not sure what my sister is going to do with them. They're probably from IKEA.
-A power extension cord. These things don't really go bad and it's nice to have around.
-A box of paper clips. I just happened to need paper clips.
-A package of tabs. I'm sure these come in handy too.
-A Hawaiian surfer necklace thingy. I always wanted one, but never wanted to buy one. Well.. happy ending.
Well, these guys also left behind some clothes. So we dug through the clothes pile (like 5 big trash bags full of clothes) that was about to get donated. Dug out an Express dress shirt and an AE thermal that fit. Heh.
---
Then there's some other stuff I need to get around to..
The story is, my sister tied my dog to one of the veranda support beams. Doggy runs. Bye bye support beam.
So we just kinda stuck it in there to keep the veranda from falling down completely.
Cause without the beam there, it looks pretty scary..
On closer inspection, it's clearly obvious that it got forcefully ripped out, and it wasn't a loose screw or something.
Yup. Fat doggy breaks stuff (like PS2 controllers and scales).
Now I'm supposed to find a solution to holding it in place that's more permanent than sticking two 60lb concrete blocks around the pillar.
---
I finally brought my wallet pictures home from college, and filled up my last picture frame.
If you're in here you're cool! Camwhore awards go to: Steph, Clarice, and Jono, and Sandra* for bring in 3 of the pictures. :P
Yeah, long update, but... no homework =)

wow lame weekend at sb
|
Wow. I never expected to have a weekend like this, especially so at SB. There are weekends where I chose not to go out cause I have stuff to do, or I know I probably won't have too much fun, but this weekend I went out cause I thought it might be something; it wasn't.
I seriously wanted to go home this weekend, but didn't cause I was supposed to attend an event for a fundraiser. It ended up being postponed.
So I went to a party instead. If I was gonna spend a weekend at SB with no work to do, might as well go out and have some fun. Right?
Friday night was not fun at all. First party had not enough alcohol, not enough girls, and not enough people overall. Not too sure what went wrong cause its normally not that bad. So we went to another party. That had alcohol, but still not enough girls, and not too long after we got there they stopped the music. White people are supposed to throw great parties, oh well.
So when we left I had to drag some pretty drunk people back, cause that's what happens when there's not enough guys, and you're sober. Person with the highest tolerance always ends up taking care of everyone, and I didn't even drink that much.
When we got back, we ran into some CSO troubles, cause they saw me with a bunch of girls, most of which couldn't even walk correctly. So after some questioning, they decided to let us go.
Back in the dorms we ran into RAs. Things got pretty complicated pretty fast, cause they caught unregistered guests that none of us claimed responsibility for. So what might happen is all of us might get called in for a statement. That's tomorrow's problem, not a big problem at that.
Saturday night, after dinner, out on a whim I decided to go watch a show that a few friends were in to show them some support. It was pretty fun cheering for them, and it wasn't that bad of a show. By going, we ended getting the rest of the floor to show up, eventually. Oh, and I got a T-shirt for $3, to help do something in Vietnam, wasn't paying too much attention when they explained what the proceeds would do, all that matters is I got a shirt, and I'm helping someone somewhere, even if I don't exactly know how.
After the performance was the afterparty. It was at the ZΦP house. For one reason or another, I never really seem to have fun there. It was kinda nice going out with people on the floor that normally don't go out, or I normally don't go out with. They seemed to have a good time. It a nice seeing a bunch of people I knew there. But, even less people danced, and the male-female ratio was much worse. The few girls that were there really didn't dance, and when they did, they kinda danced by themselves. It just ended up being a kickback outside. At least some people had fun.
Weekend probably wasn't a total loss, but I've had much better weekends. Going home for sure next weekend for sure. I miss my doggy.

Yeah. I broke my 2nd pair Sennheisers today. The left earbud just went dead on me. I think it might be the wiring. I probably should stop dangling/dropping my ipod..
As great as these sound for their price, they arn't very durable.. not that I expect them to be anyways..
Time to buy another pair!

Weekend was spent in SD!
The weekend felt way too short. It honestly felt like I spent the entire weekend in my car, or sleeping. 4 hour drive to SD from SB (directly) with mild traffic from SB to LA. 3 hour drive directly back, with light traffic from SD to LB. Oh, and I still get lost in SD, that campus is way too big.
So my weekend was pretty much.. drive to SD, talk to Clarice, sleep 12 hours, eat, get ready, Luminescence, eat, sleep, drive back to SB.
Casino night was... interesting. That's a good word to describe it.
Food was really really good. By the time I went around a second time there was pretty much nothing left. Picture of Clarice and I pigging out! Kinda sucks how the people who came late couldn't get much (or none) of the good stuff.
I never saw so many wallflowers at a dance. If you're gonna go somewhere with a DJ, a dancefloor, and a girlfriend, you're supposed to dance your heart out. At least that's what I think anyways.
I swear the only people actually dancing were Walnut people... or friends of Walnut people.. or some weirdo people that looked really out of place on the dance floor. Their loss.
Connie has an awesome hair straightener.
Hair wax is awesome. It's also the toughest thing to wash out out of your hair. Even after my sweat straightened my hair, and I rinsed my hair with water, you could still feel the wax residue. I need to get myself some of that stuff.
On a side note, I found out that my quarter-long job paid me more than I earned. I was supposed to get paid $20/hour, for a total of 17.2 hours. But due to UCSB administration laziness, they rounded it up to 30 hours (everyone got paid for either 15 hours or 30 hours). So, in reality, I got paid $34.88/hour. Happy news, even if a good chunk of that money goes to pay for my most recent speeding ticket.

birthday!

Fun fun!
So I've been going out all week long leading up to my birthday.
Monday - No drinks; it was chill though.
Tuesday - Lots of beer. Got an very slight buzz that didn't last very long. Made me feel like an alcoholic cause I started drinking before sundown.
Wednesday - Uh, actually I don't think this counts as going out.
Thursday - I fail at flip-cup, I think I'll stick to beer pong. Had some beer, then like a quad shot, then some more beer, and a few more shots. Long buzz, but wasn't a very good one. That's what happens when you mix beer and shots.
Friday - Woke up a bit lightheaded. Had an frat interview, once again didn't get a bid. Pre-gamed a bit at night before heading out. I think I was about 9 shots in when Connie came and I left to pick her up. By the time we got back, it was dry and I got a jello shot, and that was it. Barely any buzz, but happy happy. Pretty tame party that ended a bit earlier than I thought it would.
Saturday(daytime) - Ate lunch @ Sushiya, it wasn't that bad. Then we checked out Floatopia. This honestly deserves its own entry. Floatopia is basicly an event where a bunch of people get giant floatation devices and float off on our beach and drink beer and chill. It also happened to be Spring Insight (admit day). So everyone wanted to get off campus. So as a result, there was a ridiculous amount of people out there on the beach, and all lots of very concerned parents asking why everyone was carrying a 30-pack or a giant raft. Definitely something I want to participate in next year. Then we killed sometime with tower defense.
Floatopia:
Saturday(night time) - Dinner was dorm food, lady let me bring in two guests for price of one cause we were holding up the line. After dinner we drank the Patron that Connie brought. Awesome drink, goes down insanely smooth for alcohol. Pre-gamed with a bunch of hallmate's friends (got a drunken happy birthday song) and took a few shots of rasberry smirknoff, nasty stuff. Then it was a hallmate's first time drinking, so a few of us alcoholics in the hall drank with him. It was the first time I tried Gray Goose--easily the best vodka out there. They also had some Patron, not as expensive but still really good. Made great use of the shot glasses Connie got me. Think by the time we left I was at 10 shots. We hit the ΛΦE house first. The party didn't pick up yet, so we drank some more, which brought me up to 14. So we decided to crash the ZΦP house until it picked up. Lots of people there(cause it was an all chapter event), but relatively boring with a bad DJ. Then after a while we headed back to ΛΦE and it did pick up and it was all fun. Then afterward we went to Freebirds to grab food.
Sunday - Woke up with no hangover! Actually slept very very well. Ate Woodstocks, and then had to say goodbye to Connie. Then I took a nap. After that, I spent the rest of my birthday saying thanks for all the happy birthday messages. Thanks for all the happy birthday messages! Yeah, I really didn't do any homework till my birthday ended.
