Damn, sorry homies. I'm not as dedicated as much anymore when it comes to updating my Xanga. I've had shit to do, people to see, and kill. JK.

Well now, I've been taking summer classes at UC Davis. It's fine, except that my AAS002 professor is insane and completely paranoid. I mean that literally. This guy thinks 9/11 was a conspiracy (along with the Lennon and Kennedy assasinations), America is becoming fascist, and that there is going to be a draft. Then he ties it all in to contemporary Asian American issues. It's hard to me to describe on my blog, but if you have a sit-down with me, you'll start to wonder why I even stayed in his class.

I found work again. Fucking Staples. It was my last fucking...resort. I KNEW I would be able to get a job there, since I've already had experience and they're always pretty much hiring. But I wanted to escape all that, and work somewhere else. Nobody called me back. Bitches. So I'm stuck listening to that stupid music loop, asking everyone about the same damn Rewards, and putting up with nasty managers. My co-workers are cool. All in all, it's a job. It's a job I mainly took to get some extra monies on the side, especially for the ultimate prize.

I'm going to ENGLAND. YEP. Yes. WOO! I'm finally heading over to see my sister's friends and see what the Brits are like. It's fucking wild because I never thought I would get to go before I graduated! I'm fucking excited and nervous at the same time. It'll just be my sister and me going, with no parental supervision. She wants to go to France and Italy while we're up there. Not sure if that can be arranged, but I'm sure we'll try. I really want to go to Scotland or Ireland! Scotland's more easy to get to since it's only north. Ireland is a completely different island, and we might need a plane. We shall see. In all good time, right?

Heading over to Las Vegas in a few weeks for my first Star Trek Convention. Can I get any nerdier? Heehee. Super excited. I asked Reina to come along, and she seems eager. I really wanted Raymie to come since he's into Star Trek. Mark....forget about it. He hates it. This shall be an interesting experience.

I'm turning 22 in less than a month. I'm not really looking forward to it, since it's kinda downhill from here on. Still, that's no reason to not do something fun with friends or family.

Been playing that GTAIV. Awesome game. Story is amazing and the gameplay is way better than any of the other GTAs. I love my XBox. I take back all the negative things I've ever said about you, my sweet.

Ok, time to head back to my life. Ciao.

UPDATE::
I just realized I mentioned something in THIS blog that was mentioned in my LAST blog. My bad. =P

And so ladies and gentlemen, comes another wonderful date in my book; Mark and I's FOUR YEAR anniversary. Holy shit. Four fucking years. Four fucking amazing years. It's crazy to think that we've been together for this long, but when we both look at it, we kinda just shrug and go, "Ah, well there's going to plenty more...." Oh but that doesn't mean this one isn't at all significant. Every year we celebrate it, it IS significant! Plain and simple, I'm still in love, and more so than the day we were "officially together."

You see, guys, Mark is my best friend. He knows me. He knows me through and through. He probably knows me better than I know myself, which is scary. Same goes for me. I know him through and through. Yet, we are still young and there are going to be many more years of change and experience that are going to head our way and teach us new things about one another that we'd never known before! And that's the simple beauty of being in a relationship. Especially with someone like Mark. I feel like I know him, but I can't wait to live the rest of my life and find out the parts I don't know about him. I'll learn to love and hate, accept and deny any part of him that comes our way. Above all things, I'm going to love him, in his good times and his bad. He is my center. The one I go to if I ever hit the smallest bump in the road. The way I feel for him, cannot be described in words. Love, is understatement when it comes to describing how I feel for him. If there is a word stronger than love, well, then, maybe that still wouldn't come close to how strong I feel for him.

High school was a trip for both of us. It brought us together, and college brought us closer. Now, in the next year or so, we'll graduate college, and our lives are really going to start. We'll be traveling together, tasting new things together, watching hundreds of movies together, etc. There are so many things in LIFE that we want to do and experience.. together. Because for us, there is no other way to experience anything without each other present.. it just wouldn't be the same.

I love Mark. Like I always say, it feels good knowing that I've found the one person who's going to still beam at me when I'm old, gray and wrinkly.. and slightly shorter. I STILL get those butterflies. I still can't help pulling a cheesy stupid smile when he smiles at me. When he finds ways to go that extra mile and make me happy, it makes me feel on top of the world.

And so passes the fourth year of our being together, and now begins the fifth year. Crazy, but happy. We're still both crazy in love, like how we were back in high school. Things are a tad different now, but one thing is clear; we will always be there for each other, for loving and caring, through sadness and success, through hardships and failures, we will always be there for one another.

Happy four year anniversary, Mark. I love you. Thank you for all you've done for me and for all the memories. We made a lot this past year! I can't wait to see what is in stored for the next....years......=)

What the hell? I don't like Xanga's new makeover. It's hella confusing. I just spent the last few minutes trying to find the link to create a new blog. Gah!!

So it' s been quite a while since I've blogged. Sorry people. I've been busy! With what, you might ask?? Well, there's the obvious; school. There's some random shit tossed in there as well, but for the most part, school has officially taken over my life. I haven't hung out with friends since... I don't know even remember! That's how long! This quarter however, my classes are much better. What the fuck was I thinking, taking THREE Political Science classes last quarter? Then I tried to do it again this quarter. I must've been outta my fucking mind. Good thing I switched majors. YEP. I've switched majors people. I've come to realize that Political Science was great, for the first few classes, and then as it got progressively more analytical, I realized that it wasn't what I thought it was going to be. It feels like a relationship I'm getting over. Breaking up with Political Science ended on good terms, sort of. We were good in the beginning. We had fun, laughs, struggles, etc. But in the end, we realized it just wasn't meant to be. I shall never forget Political Science.

As of next quarter, I will officially be recognized by UC Davis as an Asian American Studies major, with a minor in Japanese. Seems so much better. The class I'm taking now (ASA001) and the past two other classes I've taken have really peaked my interest. Actually, I probably owe it to Professor Begonia. Either way, there's politics and history mixed in and that's what I love. As a bonus, I'll get to graduate sooner too! PHEW. Almost done with this whole college thing. I will miss it though.

Sooooo, I'm moving out of my West Sacramento apartment. I am so sad. I love my apartment! It's big and spacious and in a very nice neighborhood! But you can't argue against that $995 rent I've been paying ON MY OWN (plus utilities, cable, and internet). I did some shopping around, and found a studio in Woodland for $575! Great! Turned in the application as well as the deposit today, and I hope (crosses fingers) that I get this studio! It's perfect for me (and Tobias)!

In other news, Obama is kicking ass. He's just won Texas! However, I hate to admit it, but it's still a very close call between him and Hillary. As for the Republicans, what the hell is Ron Paul still doing in the race?

GO DUCKS!

Went to WonderCon recently with Mark. Aw, what a great convention! Very mature and very family oriented. It reminded me a lot of Anime Expo, but more comic-y. We also got to see celebrities like Mulder and Scully from X-Files and John Cho from Harold and Kumar! We missed Brendan Fraiser, Anne Hathaway, and Steve Carrell. I was shopping while they were on the panel. I got what I wanted: a model ship of the USS Enterprise. I wasn't really picky about the model, but I did want it to be from the TNG series. Ah, I'm such a nerd.

England this summer for me and my sister are in the works! WOO!

Ahh, time to work on that eight page Russian Politics paper.
