Happy Birthday from Cinnamon!

I was in a bad mood this morning because of this paper I had to do. But in the middle of writing it, I hear my mom giggling as she walks into my room with Cinnamon behind her back. She sends him in wearing this lil bday tiara with a red envelope in his mouth. Apparently she used his paws and made him write a lil bday message to me. What was inside the lil envelope? $5 and a cookie from Cinny! Haha, which of course as soon as I whipped out the cookie, he immediately snatched it out of my hands and ate it. He's so cute, I'm so tempted to find some wings for him to wear or even a little pink princess dress! *Sigh* 24, soo old. So yah, happy birf-day to me!

New Year Enlightenments


Some lessons that I've learned over the multiple dinners:

• Do not over eat! Granted you didn't have dinner yet but remember that you are eating from 11pm and beyond.
• Never drink consecutively 2 bowls of (hot) shark fin soup and then 2 bowls of (cold) red bean soup with tapioca balls. I learned that one the hard and ugly way...
• When forced to eat "things" that you would never normally eat, just remember that it could be worse, you could be eating the things they have on Fear Factor.
• It's okay that I don't engage in spring cleaning because before the new year arrives, I need to do a massive cleaning everywhere.
• As long as you are not married, you won't have to give out lucky money and can always receive it. So word to the wise, stay single and bring home the moolah!
• Never stay at the dinner table when most of the family has become tanked from the wine. They tend to engage in perverted conversations involving dirty jokes and stories. Well unless you want to seek years of therapy for the horrible scarring, then stay and enjoy!

Mac Arrogance


I went into the Apple store to try to find a supposed software that one of my professors recommended. He had told me that Apple has this version of AppleWorks that can be used on Mac/Win. I have this strange need to have to look at & touch things before I buy them so I thought I would glimpse at it in the store before deciding if I would buy it. So I go in and of course I don't see it, I'm sort of hesistant to ask for help since normally people treat me as if I'm retarded and make me feel like I should be blessed that they're helping me. Well, I go up to this middle-ager, the moment he turns around, he has this aura of arrogance. I ask him if he knew of this version and immediatley he gives me this condescending "Ha" and says, "You can't take Mac software and put it on the PC, Mac is for Mac." I think it was because I said the word PC, like holy shit, I should be burned at the stake for that. Yes I have a PC and I like my PC very much. So I keep telling him that my professor said there was a special version that I could put on my comp at home. Well then he's still looking at me all hoity-toity and continues to ridicule me by saying, "I know that Apple does not make it for the PC. You must be confused. Maybe your professor said the data is compatible in the sense that you can save your work and transfer it between the two computers!" Then he proceeds to go to his laptop and go to the website and look up the software and he reads to me that it says some of the material is compatible, but it says nothing of PC software. Yeah, by this time he's made me feel completely stupid with his disgustingly amount of arrogance. Listen, just because you wear tight ass khaki pants with a perfectly pressed polo shirt that has been tucked in way too much, and you have your "special" little plastic nametag that hangs around your neck doesn't give you the right to act like a prick! So I guess if I had a plastic insert with my name in it, I could feel all superior and treat my customers as if they were little 5 year old children as well huh? This of course pissed me off throughout the entire day and when I finally got home, I was still not giving in, I knew there had to be this software. So I went to the Apple website and after a few minutes, low and behold, what did I find? Yeah, software that can be used for Mac/Win. I am soooo tempted to print out that page and go back to the store and shove it in that guy's face. I'd love to take down his arrogance a notch of two. Hmm, well since he was also so disgusted by the word PC, I should wear a shirt that says, "My PC is bigger than your Mac" in the process also.

Lane Impaired


This evening, I was driving behind one of the most aggravating drivers ever! He really took the cake with his skills. We were both in the left lane, however, I seem to think that mentally he thought he was driving in the right lane. First off, he was driving so slow that I could have stopped my car, ran around it, got back in, and still be at the same point. Well, whenever he got a bit behind the car in the right lane, he would brake like crazy, as if he would crash into it. Okay, you're in the left lane, you can't rear-end the cars in the right lane!! I would have passed him except he was so psychotic that he was kinda in the middle of both lanes at some point, plus the fact that he couldn't drive pass the cars on the right because he thought they were in front of him.

Does Everyone Like It Tight?


What is with all my professors and their single-spaced crazes? I swear this is the first time I've had such huge page requirements requests with single-spacing. I'm seriously going nuts with this. I don't even understand why you would want something that lengthy to be in single-space, it's so tight and it's so hard to read. I find myself making so many typos just because my eyes get confused within all the tightly laid out lines. It's incredibly aggravating when I change it to double-space just to see how long it would actually be. Blah, these papers used to only be demanded at max 2-3 times per semester but now it's on a weekly basis. If I become more blind and squint more as a result of trying to read my papers, I think I'll sue!
