and i u n f o l d

I’ve survived. Two midterms in one day. 5 hours of sleep. 7am wake-up call. Damn, I’m so glad that today is over and done with. Granted, I have things to do during the weekend but… right now, there’s a huge load off my shoulders.

I finally bought a hoodie yesterday. Yippeeeee! It’s dark blue with “Carolina” in baby blue across the front. It’s so soft and comfy and I was wearing it all day today. Lovelovelove. I’m gonna be wearing it a lot. Hee.

Dance practice yesterday was good. We cleaned up the choreography we learnt last week, did formations and all that stuff. It’s looking good yo. And we learnt a really short transition piece, which I am quite excited about. It’s a girl-boy thingy, set to Nelly & Christina’s “Tilt Ya Head Back”. It’s really short like maybe 30 secs and there’s very little choreography. Just a lot of *cough* interaction. Hahahaha. That sounds so sketchy. It’s just a lot of boy-girl I’m-so-hot-you-know-you-want-me kinda thing. Heehee. A very clubby/sexy vibe.

So, okay. The thing is… I’d wanna be paired up with YKW. And not even cos of my crush on him; he’s a good dancer and I’m not too shabby… and I think we would look hot together. Haahhahhaha. I know that sounds kinda wrong, but you know what I mean. It’d look good. And Aishah will have a heart attack if we actually do dance together. Heh. Apparently they’re gonna be picking people to do that piece, so I’ma need to work my ass off and make sure they think I’m good enough. Heh. And not that just for that piece, they’ll be picking people for most of the other pieces too; there are 20 girls in total and you can’t have 20 girls on stage all the time. So I completely get that it has to be competitive. So hopefully I’ll be able to get on a few pieces. :)

Any. Way. My cough is completely gone. Finally. I can eat all my junk food! I have chips, ice-cream (Ben & Jerry’s) and other goodies to eat. Yummmmay.

I’m kinda tired, but I’m not sleepy. Weird. So now I need to amuse myself. Heehee.

Contact has been made!

Heehee.

I was on my way to my second class this morning and I was passing by Lenior (which is where the dining hall and all the food outlets are) when I spied YWK walking out. I was like, “Crap, what are the odds?” and was ready and prepared to do the usual I-see-you-but-I-don’t thingy. But he cracked! Hahahaha. He saw me, smiled and said hi. I was like hooked up to my iPod so I just smiled back.

Heeheehee.

And then I couldn’t stop grinning like an idiot during the lecture. I am such a girl. Heh. :)

Heeelpppp me. I need to stop being giddy and girly and smiley about this. Heh.

Need to study. Time is running out; two mid-terms tomorrow and I’m not prepared! I mean, I can probably BS my way through it… but I actually wanna do well. Hmm. Need to hit the books. Sleep can wait.

It seems like gawky-geeky is the new Hot. Like a lot of the guys here whom I find attractive have a geeky-gawky vibe going on (bonus points if they’re gangly!). Weird. So weird. Oh, and the geeky-gawky type has a special weapon: a passion for something. That’s what really makes them hot. Guys who are passionate about something…. mmmm.

So, I’ve surmised that this is all John Mayer’s fault. He revolutionized the concept of Hotness. During the weekend, there was this John Mayer special on UNC-TV. And the man killed me! I caught like the last half of it and he sang “Back To You”, “Come Back To Bed” and “Your Body Is A Wonderland” consecutively. I’m like, “Guh, I am dead.” And it hit me that John is the original hot-geeky-gawky-gangly guy with a passion. Oooooh.

Anyway. Today has been dismal. The weather is depressing and gloomy. Thank goodness it’s not that cold. The bad news is that it seems like the weather’s gonna be like this for most of the week. And I was so planning on wearing skirts, so that’s not a good option now.

My Medieval Hist mid-term sucked. Well, it wasn’t that bad… but it was still bad. It wasn’t really difficult but I just didn’t know enough. Heh. I hope I pass, at the very least. Two more mid-terms to go.

I know I said that I wouldn’t talk about YKW but y’all know I was lying. Hahaha. Anyway. Like I mentioned, Aishah danced with him. And she told me he kinda like introduced himself to her after they danced, saying that he had seen her around, and he said, “You’re Liza’s friend, right?”. Aaargh. He made it sound like we totally know each other, when we don’t. I mean, he obviously knows who I am but somehow we still do that stupid we-see-each-other-but-we-don’t-really thingy (which happened today as I was leaving class). Ugh. Whatever. I almost feel like backing down and saying something to him… but I won’t. Heh. I wanna see how long this will last. Hahaha. I am so masochistic.

Dance practice last night was funnnn. I enjoyed myself. We learnt some choreograpy to the new Destiny’s Child song “Lose My Breath” for a performance in November. It’s looking good. I’m excited about it.

I got my mom to send me some stuff from home. Track pants for dance (YAY! I am in desperate need of them), shawls, a sweater, some books. I hope it gets here ASAP, which is sometime next week. If it doesn’t, I am going to kill the mail people. Heh.

I really really wanna buy a hoodie. A dark blue one with “Carolina” across the front in baby blue. So cute. I also want track pants with “Carolina” across the ass. Hee. But I’ve been spending waaaay too much money (re: iPod…. which I am still loving!), so I need to stop working my debit card so hard. Heh.

Time’s passing so quickly. It’s almost October. I don’t wanna think about having to leave. Sigh.

Just got back from the Duke mixer. Surprisingly I’m wide awake. And I so wish that any one of my close friends are online right now cos I am in need of girl-talk. Mehhhh. Instead, I’ve drinking hot choc and listening to sappy songs. Heh.

The mixer was fun. The music was kinda crappy at times, but for the most part it was good. I wore my new cute pink boots tonight. Hee. I love those shoes; they’re so gorgeous and quite comfy. I was totally feeling my outfit tonight. Hahahaha. Vanity is so the number one sin. Heh.

YKW (you-know-who) was there, not surprisingly. With his other half in tow. I told Aishah that I still think I’m hotter. Hahahahah. I am so shameless. Aishah dared me (again) but I wouldn’t take the bait. Heh. Mike also was, at one point, trying to maneuver it so that I could dance with him. Heh. That was kinda funny. Didn’t happen though. Seeing him with his girlfriend made the pointlessness very clear, which is good, I think. A reality check is needed sometimes. Although, seriously, if I had a guy who could dance well, I’d probably dance with him all night and not have him dance with other random chicks. Heh.

It’s kinda funny how my little crush goes through fluctuations; like sometimes, I feel like I’m really into him and then, there are times like tonight, when I realize the futility of it and that I’m not completely into him. Does that make sense? It does to me. Heh. On the whole though, I think my initial crazy crush on him has waned a little. Sure, there are moments when I think he’s damn hot but that’s understandable cos he is hot when he’s dancing. Heh.

Oh, and Aishah danced with him! Heh. Kinda ironic, given that she had dared me to dance with him earlier in the night. Heh. Afterwards, she was like saying that he danced with her only cos I was dancing with Danny… and I was like, “Whatever.” She’s determined to make something out of nothing.

And now I realize (again) what a total girl I am being. Geez. The last few entries always have a mention of him. Daaaamn. I need to stop talking about this crap. But you know that I probably won’t. Hahahah. I’m masochistic like that.

Why so why am I wide awake? I neeeeed to sleep. Tomorrow is supposed to be Study Day. Need to study for mid-terms. Grrrrr. I am so screwed.

Oh, and just out of interest: if you’re reading all this crap, can you leave a comment? Heh. I’m just interested in knowing.

We (Alex, Aishah and I) had plans to watch “Wimbledon” last night, but we didn’t make it. We needed to get a bus to the parking lot and pick up Alex’s car and then drive to the theater, but the bus took waaaay too long and there was no hope of us catching the movie on time. So we scratched that idea and went for dinner instead at Top of the Hill (which is one of the more upscale restaurants along Franklin St. and it really is the top of Chapel Hill! Heh).

So, we just hung out and talked and stuff. Then we headed to Avalon. There was some kind of party going on and only UNC students were let in. And it was apparently a White Party, since everyone was pretty much wearing something white (while I was wearing red!). It was also white, in the sense that most of the people were white. It was really crowded, it was kinda crazy.

So. I don’t mean to offend, but dang, most white people cannot dance. Heh. It was kinda amusing. The music wasn’t too good either; yeah, they mostly played hip-hop but it wasn’t… good. I dunno, they had some weird songs in the mix. The music was much better during last week.

And y’know, watching all the guys in the club dancing really made me appreciate why I’m into You-Know-Who so much. It validates my crush. Heehee. It’s hard to find a guy who can dance well. I mean, there were some good-looking guys there but they couldn’t really dance and that kinda like negated their hotness. Hahahaha. Something like that.

Anyway, towards the end of the night, we bumped into one of the guys from the Asian frat. We chatted to him a bit and then he said that Hans was there too. So we went to find him, wished him a happy belated birthday since we didn’t make it to the party. I think he’s cute. In a very boyish and preppy-ish sorta way. Heehee.

And I was so tired this morning! I had to drag myelf out of bed for my 9am class. Sigh. I need to catch up on sleep especially since Aishah and I may be going to the Duke ASA Triangle Mixer tonight. Heh. We’re such (potential) party animals.

I’ve got 3 mid-terms next week. I’m gonna die. This weekend is gonna be full of tons of studying and reading. I don’t know shit about my Medieval History class, so that’s on the top of my list especially since the mid-term is on Monday!

To update you on the (perceived) mini-WB-drama going on with me and You-Know-You: he was at the ASA meeting yesterday. (Notably by himself and without his supposed other half.) Aishah and I left just before they started their scavenger hunt and we were talking outside the room when he walked out and we did the whole pretending-not-to-see-the-other-person thingy. So, I mean, at this point, it is really stupid that we still haven’t talked to each other! Argh. We see each other at ASA meetings and will be seeing each other during dance practice. We’re in the same class, we’ve seen each other on campus several times. It’s kinda like someone has to make the first move and say something but it seems like we’re waiting for the other one to do it. Ugh. Whatever. Stupidstupidstupid.

More on boys. Hahaha. Mike’s roommate is so cute. A bunch of us watched Fahrenheit 9/11 in his room last weekend, and his roomie was there. So cute. He’s a blonde surfer-type (apparently he goes to Wilmy quite frequently to surf) with a cute-geeky vibe. He’s kinda sarcastic, funny… and he plays the guitar (and Aishah told me that he apparently writes his own songs too!). What’s not to like? Heehee. I’m like fascinated by him cos there seems to be so many different facets to him… the surfer, the musician, the geeky-ish guy. And well, it doesn’t hurt that he’s cute. Heh.

Anyway. Enough of my crap. Heh. I need to take a (long) nap.

P/S: I am loving my iPod!

I got my iPod. I got my iPod. *dances around*

Squealed like a little girl when I saw that I had a package. It’s so white and pretty. Heh. Lovelovelove. Can’t believe that I actually did spent that much money; that’s the bad thing about debit/credit cards, you don’t actually see the money leaving your hands so it feels like nothing. Damn. I’m spending waaaay too much money.

Aishah and I went to Southpoint again. Heh. For some retail therapy. I was good though; I only bought two things: some earrings and a pair of pink-ish boots that are sooo cute (and they were only like $21!). The boots are funky; love them.

The fire alarm went off at my dorm on Tuesday morning. At 6.45am. I had just gotten off my bunk to turn off the alarm clock when the damned fire alarm started ringing. And everyone had to evacuate, which wasn’t too much fun. It was effing cold and I was just wearing shorts, t-shirt and a jacket that I grabbed just before leaving the room. And I froze my ass off for 15 minutes while the firemen checked the building. Of course, there wasn’t actually a fire. It was kinda amusing though to see everyone in their jammies. Heh.

Tonight was the first dance practice. There was no actual dancing going on, but more like a get-to-know-you sorta thing. We went around introducing ourselves and I swear, I can only maybe remember half the names.

And since the rest of this post is silly girl-rambling, it’ll be behind the cut. Cos y’know, stupid and pointless.

New layout! I was getting sick of my previous one and since I don’t have Photoshop on my laptop, I can’t make graphics. Hence, this layout is by Lex Designs. Very pretty, I like. :)

I’ve been listening non-stop to Justin’s new song. It’s catchy as hell yo. A dance choreographed to this song could be damn killer.

It’s getting so cold here. Today was a sunny day, but it was chilly. Maaaan. I miss warm weather! I think I’m probably gonna have to buy some sweaters and stuff so that I don’t freeze my ass off. I brought a few, but they might not be enough. I still have a cough, but it’s getting much better. Unfortunately, it seems like I passed it onto Alex, my roomie. And I feel bad about it.

The big news of the last few days or so, besides me getting into Kamikazi (!!), is that I won an auction on eBay for a 40GB iPod. I won it for US$355, cos some bastard outbid me last minute and drove the price higher. I can’t believe I’m spending that much money! My parents will kill me if they knew. Thank goodness for my Wachovia VISA card; if I used my other debit card, the bill is sent to my house and my parents will open it. And that would not be good. At all. I’m psyched that I’ll have an iPod, but I can’t believe I’m spending so much money just like that. Daaaamn. I have so little self-control when it comes to shopping. Heh.

First dance practice is on Wednesday. I’m excited about that. Hee. I’ve missed dancing.

Tomorrow’s the GG and OTH season premiere. Yay! Chad! I so need to get my ass to Wilmy and meet him. One of these days, one of these days. Oh, and Wednesday, Chuck Palahniuk is gonna be signing at the book store on campus. I’m tempted to buy his new book and get it signed. Hmm, we’ll see it.

There’s a lot of boy-related drama going on here. Heh. Though I have to say that Aishah’s drama is waaaay more exciting than mine. Heh. I need to meet more hot boys. Hahahahha. Shameless.

I thought this site would never be up again. Gaaaah. But I’m glad it finally is, even though I think I might have lost a post or two. Hmmph.

So, a lot of crap has happened in the past two weeks. “A lot”. I blogged a little bit (okay, a lot) at my LJ but that’s all friends-locked… so I’m gonna reproduce what I said there, mostly so that I can keep track of that stuff that’s happened and laugh about it 6 months from now. Heh.

So, this is a really long post, about a bunch of stuff that has happened since I last blogged. If you read my LJ (ie. if you’re Cal. Heh) or if I’ve told you about all this crap, you don’t have to read this again. LOL.
