So yesterday, I had the day off because I worked extra hours last week, and it just happened to be my birthday. I didn't do much all day. I sat around watched a couple episodes of West Wing, continued knitting the scarf, un-did the whole thing, started knitting it again, went to teach...I was expecting a very quiet day. The only thing that was going to happen was Andrew coming over to make fish tacos for dinner. Well, he came over, and we started cooking when the doorbell rang. I was like, "Who the hell is that?" Guess who! EVERYBODY (almost). There they were, Chelsea, Dorothy, John, Tiff and Ross, standing in the rain. And there I was, standing at the door in my pink pjs with pink bears and pink slippers, trying to decide whether I should open the door or not. But I did because they started complaining about the rain.

Anyways, it was a lovely evening with tacos and brownies and cheesy bread and American Idol. Oh...and a digital camera. Yes, I finally have one now, so I can't bitch about it any more. But that's okay...I have plenty of other things to bitch about.

By the way, Andrew, if you ever get around to reading this (or my blog in general), I want you to know that I love you very, very much and you're the best boyfriend anyone could ever ask for. Thanks for everything :)

Another year, another birthday. You know, I used to be really into my birthday. For as long as I could remember, I'd have big get togethers and really have a good time with friends and good food. It was all about having a good time. But now...life is too real and depressing. I mean, what's the point? Here I am, 24 years old, still living at home (not by choice), not making that much money but I have a family to support, a sister that's the biggest self-absorbed, disrespectful, unappreciative bitch....anyways, yeah. So if you're ever wondering why I'm such an angry bitch, THAT'S WHY.

Other things I want for my birthday that I just thought up:

1) cake decorating kit
2) terry cloth robe
3) salt and pepper mill

Things I want for my birthday:

1. An herb garden
2. A little stereo thingie for my kitchen (the kind that hangs from the cabinets)
3. Someone to come clean out my closet
4. Digital camera

I was looking at a Korean friend's MySpace the other day, and I noticed that almost all his friends are Korean girls. It's kinda sad how these girls like to take pictures of themselves in a way that makes them look...well, not like themselves. They always try to hide their face with their hair (which is dyed lighter and straighten, by the way) and have a "surprised" look on their face because they're trying to make their eyes look bigger. Of course, Asian guys really don't give a crap that stuff. Stupid society.

Anyways, I just got back from All-State auditions in Lovejoy. HEEHAW.

I feel like the more I live life, the more I find out how much this world and the people in it suck and I feel helpless in making it less sucky. What is the point? What can I do to make things better?...probably nothing. Maybe I could ask God for super powers like Superman so I can save the world from evil things.

Victor just called me to tell me about a conversation that he had with one of his Muslim friends. As far as he knows, she's a pretty hardcore about her faith and all that. But apparently, she doesn't mind that her boyfriendish person is a Christian because Muslims and Christians ultimately believe in the same God.

Here's what I think about that. Yes, ultimately both religions do believe in the same God, but they're completely different religions. And if you really think about it, aren't all religions ultimately worshipping the same God? They might not call him or her "God," but most religions have one god that's all powerful, all knowing, the one that creates and distroys. Isn't that what our God is? That doesn't make Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, Hindu the same things. In fact, there are sects within those religions that argue about different beliefs and rituals, and who's right or wrong.

I think Victor and I came to the conclusion that her point of view is very broad and general, and she probably just wants things to work out with her boyfriend. I dunno...when it comes to religion, there are just way too many things to generalize like that. I mean, Andrew and I have arguements about religion, and he's Catholic and I'm Lutheran! The two closest denominations in Christianity, and we still have differences to talk about. Oh well. I hope everything works out for them...religion or not.
