So I haven't been to the library since before I left for ADVENT...roughly around early July. That translates into: "I've been horribly deprived of porn for a very long time." On top of all that, when I finally find the time, I discover that they've completely demolished Porn Palace, I mean, the library! Yesterday, I dragged my parents to Noble library (Yes, NOBLE library, of all places). It took me two whole minutes to find the porn section, and get this, it was mixed in with the sci-fi and the mystery. Heathens.
Anyways, I borrow like six books. I tried to balance out the porn with Jane Eyre and a book about the last big Mafia families. (The Godfather like...my thing right now, forgive me.)
It's been a long time since I've truly devoured one of these. I discovered I was a bit rusty...
I was skimming along, and I've totally forgotten how boring porn is when it has a plot. I finally get to the first kiss scene (87 pages in. This book obviously sucks) and like...there it was, in all it's glory, "penis". I mean, wow, that's subtle. It's bluntness shocked me. (Pun intended. Hee.) I was so offended that I actually shut the book and put it down. It took me all of thirty seconds to realize that I was being totally silly. That's how long it's been! Damn! Of course, I call my sister immediately, and we proceed to have a twenty minute conversation that went along the lines of "OMG. ME TOO!"....plus a little Rubber Band Man. Don't ask.
Porn has just become so...disappointing. (Sigh)

Fanfiction in the Early Hours
A blog at 4 AM! Lovely.
I just spent the last five hours reading an EPIC P&P fanfiction. I laughed so hard I cried, and then I cried a little more just for the heck of it. So good.
I now have new expectations in love and life. :D

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving Day breakfast consisted of dou jiang you tiao. For those non-Chinese speakers out there, that roughly translates into "Soy milk, chinese doughnut". Trust me. It sounds infinitely more delicious in Chinese. The soymilk is hot, and you can get it either sweet or savory. The Chinese doughnuts are not sweet, but simple fried goodness. It is traditional to eat the two together, and there's even a JJ Lin song dedicated to the practice. (: But, to clarify, only my dad had this traditional breakfast. We went to Wu Bing Er Yu....or the Nutritional House. (I never understood that...how does "Five Bread Two Fish" become the Nutritional House? That's just blasphemous.) I love this place. It's right next to Hot Pot City, but hands down, has the best noodle dishes ever. All their cold noodles are good. (drool) Anyways, my Mom and I chowed down on noodles while my Dad bitterly complained about our lack of Chinese culture. Hee.
When we got home, we watched some football before my Dad decided to take an afternoon nap. Keep in mind, this is like...three hours after he woke up this morning. (Sigh) Old people. heh. I'm doing my Greek mask for Daniell (It did turn out pretty tragic...) when Samantha IMs me and asks to come over. She was under the impression that I had a new dog. I didn't disillusion here. So, Wendy, Denise, and Samantha show up at my house, take a look at my new "Dingo", before exclaiming "THAT'S SONATINA?!?" Made my day. Hahaha. We went to Yogurt Twist (Ugh. Yogurt) and then headed over to Denise's house to work on College Apps. There's got to be something wrong about that. Working on College Apps on Thanksgiving...
After that, my parents picked me up to head to my Dad's cousin's house in Palo Alto for Thanksgiving Dinner. As usual, the house was full of people...that I didn't know. hahaha. It turns out, half the people there were church people, not relatives. I spent the night eating REALLY REALLY good bread, and chilling with my parents. The food was epic. There was turkey, but it was largely overlooked because of the BLOOD RED PRIME RIB that sat right next to it. Um, yes. I come from a family where Prime Rib is the traditional Thanksgiving Day fare. Mmhmm. The entire table was just covered in different foods, from the Chinese dishes like sauteed red and yellow peppers and the sea cucumber with fish, to the more American mashed potato and cranberry sauces. Then to top it all off, there was pumpkin pie with Top-Yourself-Off whipped cream. Be still my heart.
I ended up reconnecting with my cousin...OK, not quite my cousin. She is my dad's cousin's daughter. What does that make her? You figure it out. Anyways, Heidi is the bomb. She had just returned from a two year stint teaching English in Japan. After joking with my parents about Sumo Wrestling and food, we started watching Glee on Debbie's laptop. It was the episode where Puck sings "Sweet Caroline". Guh. Hotness. hee. Needless to say, I made a new friend on Facebook. Woot!
This morning, my Dad tried to wake me up at 8. Rather courteously, in my opinion, I told him to leave me alone, it was my effing vacation, and that I would wake up when I was good and ready. Anyways, when I got up at 11 AM (Ooh. Scandalous), my parents were already heating up the leftover Hot Pot downstairs. I love Hot Pot. I will never tire of Hot Pot. So nyeh, Amy Wang.
After lunch...brunch...whatever, I snuggled back under my covers and continued reading Pride and Prejudice. Jane Austen goodness! I'm glad I watched the 6 hour BBC adaptation of the book before I actually read it. The book just wouldn't have been as good if Colin Firth wasn't into lakes in my head. I've never watched the Keira Knightley version, but I've been told to a million times. I may succumb one day, but I KNOW it will never even begin to compare to the BBC version. So nyeh. Heed my advice. Watch the long version. It will bring a whole new meaning to your life.
I was reading the book, when it occurred to me that greatest desire in life is to have have someone propose to me like Fitzwilliam Darcy. Without the bitter nasty part afterwards. Just the greatest line that ever was: "In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you..." Then my life would be complete. >:]
I did drag myself away from the book to go Black Friday shopping...at like 1PM. Who goes Black Friday shopping at 1 PM? My dad's excuse? "I just want to go out for a walk." (sigh) We looked for parking for like...thirty minutes. We got my Dad his birthday ice cream at Coldstone. Walked around the entire mall. And bought nothing. Absolutely nothing. (By the way, it's my Dad's birthday today. I forgot. hee.)
Then, it took another half an hour to try to navigate ourselves out of the crowded parking lot around the Great Mall. I hate Black Friday. There weren't even any great sales anyways! But still, I applaud my family for our strong will. Unemployment is doing us good. (:
Ok. I should probably go wrap my Dad's birthday present now. My sister bought him the Blu-Ray disc for Kung Fu Panda. Maybe if I give it to him now, we can watch it together. >:] Yee!

Thanksgiving Break
Four day weekend, and I'm already thinking about homework. I finished the Lysistrata script, still need to make a mask. I asked my Dad how I should make mask, and he said, "Why do you need another one?" Ouch. Asshole.
Oh! So today my Daddy's like "You know our Chinese president?" And I'm like "There is no Chinese president, Dad." He shakes his head, adamant. "Yes. His last name was Lin. I'm sure."
"..."
"His first name was Frank."
"..."
"HEE. FRANKLIN. WAHAHAHAHAHA."
(sigh) This, guys, is where I get it from. He cracked himself up for a whole minute. "That was a really lame joke, huh."
Yeah, Dad. It was. BUT I LOVED IT. HEE!
So anyways, on a more stressful note: I need to finish my college apps. Still have to do the Stanford Supplement. D: Those extra short essays are a pain in the ass. Then, I have to spruce up my letter of recommendation from my piano teacher. She emails me her letter with strict instructions to "Add stuff and make it compliment [me] better." Oh, Lisa. What would I do without you and your electronic signature? Which reminds me that I have to learn how to write a resume. What the heck am I going to write on my music resume? Guh. Stress.
FML.

Faux Thursday
Faux Thursday is drawing to a close, but somehow it feels like vacation has already started. I took four tests today - Physics, Calc BC, Gov, and Physio. The best thing about Physics is that the tests always take two days. Gives me an entire night to think about the problems that I couldn't figure out in class. Calc was just completely...ridonkulous. I knew the capital of Delaware and the location of Helsinki...but Missouri and Katmandu? WTF. D: The Gov essay was all memory, no analysis. And once again, the Physio tactile box raped me in the ass. (sigh)
I just want to play Sims 3 until I die.

Mixed Prospects
Today, my father tells me that he and my mother will be unemployed come January. Then he laughed and said "But that's good for your college application right?" Wow. Thanks, Dad.
