Absolutely Totally Completely Random

Sherry is my real name.

I rarely go under a pseudonym because I think it's weird... Like Diana-chan as Elizabeth-chan? I don't understand that.

But since Sherry is a common name and all that, on AIM I have my own name (actually, it's stolen from my Dad) and on MSN I've only been Sherry (since it's my name), sherryillk, or obsessed!Kimeru fan. The last one is...well, I am an obsessed Kimeru fan... *shrugs*

sherryillk, the name I usually go under is really just me hanging onto my ILLK roots back when I was into EFC and I was ILLK at the forum at the Philosophy Sphere. (ILLK standing for "I Love Liam Kincaid", so sue me, I was young and in love with a young, cute guy.) I had wanted to keep it (and it still exists at FF.net!) but it was taken in most places and I couldn't so I stuck my real name on it. But it works and sherryillk isn't that bad...

When I was really young, I invented Katherine Fields to be my alter ego (born in 1975, lives in Portland, Ore, part-time waitress, grad student) but she died from lack of attention. May she rest in peace.

Anyway, I just wanted to point that out. Sherry is Sherry and nobody else. I can't say I'm totally satisfied with my name (but who is?) but it's mine so I am kinda stuck with it.

I've stopped studying... I just can't any more... It's 1 AM and I'm starving (even though I did eat today and I feel like I need to study more or go to sleep and stop wasting time...).

God, tomorrow is gonna be hell. Michelle is leaving tomorrow (god damn her) and I need to get her a prezzie since I've been remiss... And then I want to work on the WTE paper and hopefully get some Chem lab studying done... After that, sleep. Saturday, Chem stuffs and lab and possibly Calculus. Sunday, more of the same but rotating more Calculus in there too. Monday, Chem lab exam (at 8 AM, goddamnit!!!) then the rest of the day to do lots of Calculus and Chem. Then Tuesday, Calculus all the way. Wednesday, Calculus test. The night = Chem studying.

That sounds like a lot but I'm a spaz and I'll probably end up doing nothing or downloading stuff or watching something or sleep since I'm gonna be all sleepy...

Gackt singing in Mandarin is scary. I just downloaded his Gatsu no Love Song (December) performance on some sort of show on a whim...

Wow. He looks so weird... And that voice... I can't believe it comes out of that body... How the hell is that voice possible? I don't believe it. It's not normal... I think I like the Japanese version better...

Oh...his contacts scare me... *ducks and hides from Gackt*

Okay, I must stop watching this... Right. Must do the last of my review of the second exam and then a shower and then sleepness.

And it's back...

Ah, the evil Semagaic...Why are you so big?

It's almost 9 AM; I'm awake; I'm sleepy and I can't believe I'm gonna have to leave for my final in half an hour. I should probably use this time to study but really, me? Study when I'm dead tired (couldn't sleep last night)? Right. It won't do any good now. If I don't know know it now, I'm not gonna know it.

Anyway, the reason for the evil Semagic's resurrection:

The lyrics to the song I put up last night for Diana's consumption. It's such a good song... The other version was crappy but this version (the real version, might I add because I'm weird and care about that sort of stuff) is definitely a lot better.

七里香
詩：方文山 曲：周杰倫 編曲：鍾興民

窗外的麻雀　在電線桿上多嘴
你說這一句　很有夏天的感覺
手中的鉛筆　在紙上來來回回
我用幾行字形容你是我的誰

秋刀魚　的滋味　貓跟你都想瞭解
初戀的香味就這樣被我們尋回
那溫暖　的陽光　像剛摘的鮮艷草莓
你說你捨不得吃掉這一種感覺

雨下整夜　我的愛溢出就像雨水
院子落葉　跟我的思念厚厚一疊
幾句是非　也無法將我的熱情冷卻
你出現在我詩的每一頁

雨下整夜　我的愛溢出就像雨水
窗台蝴蝶　像詩裡紛飛的美麗章節
我接著寫　把永遠愛你寫進詩的結尾
你是我唯一想要的瞭解

那飽滿　的稻穗　幸福了這個季節
而你的臉頰像田裡熟透的蕃茄
你突然　對我說　七里香的名字很美
我此刻卻只想親吻你倔強的嘴


I guess I can try to get used to Semagmic... Gah, I don't want to!


Tired...so tired... And I want to do a mad galivant around NYC for prezzies today... Bah, as Janet would say...

Jay Chou mp3s and Random Things...

Well, since I fell in love with Jay Chou last night after hearing him sing 七里香 on his newest album by the same name. So I went on a litle hunt and actually got all the mp3s to his newest album. And of course, I put them up just in case anyone cares about about his songs... He really shouldn't rap but that's typical of most Asian people... He actually had more than one rap song on this album, which sorta surprised me... Oh well...

Anyway, so, today, I had my first test. :|

Bio was... Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought it could be...

Thank god most of it was easy! All old test stuff I think I got right, all of Stotzky's were incredibly, unbelieveably easy. Most of the evolution questions were easy but he also tested on names of people when I had really just studied concepts... Who contributed the most to modern genetics? Who came up with Scala Naturae? Plato or Aristole? I picked Aristole and hoped he was the right one...

Anyway, it was easy until I got to the Functional Genomics, Eukaryotic Genome and the Bioinformatics parts... I was totally confused. It was amazing. It didn't even remember her talking about this stuff! Where the hell did she pull it out of? *shakes head* She was such a crappy lecturer. But I got back at her... We had to do evaluations for all of our lecturers and I gave her the lowest score on every single question. I didn't even look to see what they were, she just sucked overall. I did omit one of them -- the office hours since I had no clue if she had office hours or not for us...

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I did well enough for a C but hopefully the rest of the class did bad enough for me to get a B. Hopefully. *crosses fingers*

Today, I did go out and buy gifts. So far I'm all good for my roommates and Xiao but for Janet, I'm totally clueless... In my crazed wanderings today, I did find a Lizzy Borden bobbohead that I thought she might appreciate but it was just too tacky and in my mind, too expensive ($20.00). So I didn't get it... I might just end up getting her two volumes of manga or something...

It was so terrible... I knew there would be a ton of people and I was under a two hour time constraint so it just made it so much worse. I have a blister on my foot... :( And it took forever to just through one isle of stuff and there were so many people... Gah! And waiting for the train on the subway... Hell... Never, never, NEVER doing that again. And I got a little lost in Times Square trying to find the Sanrio store... *dies* And it took me like 15 mins in the checkout line waiting to get up to the front... The cashiers were just soooo damn slow. Gah!!! By the time I was walking back to the dorm (after exiting the subway), I was like I don't fucking care anymore. Screw them, I just don't care.

But I did get most of it all done. And I was underbudget! Yay!

And I'm using the evil Semagic client... :( I think I might just get used to this which absolutely sucks. :(

Baka Sherry...

Ah, today has not been a good day for Sherry...

Shall we start with the very first stupid act?

I skip.

I know that's random but it's the truth. I skip. A lot. When I'm walking, I just find myself skipping unconsciously. It's terribly embarassing as you might imagine. Today, I skipped. And someone saw me.

I was walking down to the dining hall and I skipped in between my tower and the dining hall. When I got there, the security guard told me I should have kept on skipping.

I was mortified. Of course he would see me! Gah! I mean there's only a glass door seperating the regular building and the dining hall... He had a direct line of sight to my skipping. I didn't know what to say -- what could I have said? I just sorta stammered and ducked into the dining hall... I could have sworn I heard him laughing at me...

Okay, a basic rundown of my dorm. See if you can picture it. There's three towers. There's an empty space where the West Towers should be... There's a walkway in between the South and the East towers but there's nothing above it. Anyway, each of the towers (and the walkway) surround the open courtyard (no covering). It's nice... I have a window facing the courtyard so the scenery isn't all that great... And I'm on the fourth floor so there's no real view either... But I can see directly into some people's rooms. Not that I do... But I can.

Our dining hall is on the bottom floor of the East Tower but you can get to it relatively easily. I'm on the fourth floor of the South Tower and I just walk down past North Tower and there it is on the right. It's nice having a dining hall right in the building because it makes it easier... I don't have to brave the cold, windy (sometimes rainy) weather to get to a place where I can eat.

Not that it's always so easy... I was just telling yoshikochan the other day where there was no shame in going down alone and here I was tonight at 7:00 PM hungry and feeling very insecure. My roommates were all busy and I didn't know how to bring up going down... I'm not a very...um...motivated person... So I just didn't bring it up. By 7:20, I was starving and I took the cowards way out. I made dinner. I have a kitchen so I could but still...

Oh! And also today on the subway, I was going up to 34th Street to visit Jack's World and The Manhattan Mall and I could have taken either the N or the R train but I had to wait for the Q. The same with coming back. Two N and R trains each passed me by along with three W trains. They were all local but I just had to wait for the express! Baka! By that time, I could have already come back!

Last big mistake of the day. I have a tendency to just stack my CDs in a pile on my desk. It's one of those student desks that are like customary at every school -- a desk with drawers and on top, shelves. Anyway, I had a bunch of CDs stacked up there and as I was getting a tissue, I accidently knocked a bunch of them down. They all fell down to the desk surface, knocked my glass on the floor, it shatters and it was full of pepsi. When the CDs had fallen, it also knocked the CDs I had stacked on my desk down...straight down into the spilled pepsi. I think they're dead now... I can't bring myself to check if they're still alive... Two of the CDs were mp3s I had since I first got the internet -- very dear and precious mp3s... :( One was my Tenimyu DVD (not the real one, a burned DVD+R with the Tenimyu on it).

Diana, please tell me you still have Tenimyu 1 on the computer... I would die if I had lost them. If they're not there, tell me and I'll redownload them when I come back...

But not only that, on the same DVD, there was manga and a bunch of other stuff... Gods, I just want to cry...

Not to mention the shattered glass... I think there are still shards of it left on the floor, though I did do my best to clean it all up... :( It wasn't even one of my glasses either! :( I broke my roommate's glass... I don't know which though... I suspect it's Michelle's though... Or Britney since I'm pretty sure Steph didn't bring them... :( How am I gonna tell them...

This is bad... :(

I think my DVD's okay... Maybe. Or maybe not... Maybe... It doesn't look that bad...

But I did end up losing my sixth Flavors CD. And since I never got to transcribing the tracks on that one, I have no way to rebuilding it...

Also, I've lost the CD that Masha sent me... It had Norton and Symantec and a bunch of other files on it... I liked that CD! :(

Chinese Poetry to Spam my LJ

水调歌头
苏轼

明月幾時有？把酒問青天。不如天上宮闕。今夕是何年。
我欲乘風歸去，又恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒，起舞弄清影，何似在人間！
轉朱閣，低綺戶，照無眠，不應有恨，何事長向別時圓？
人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全，但願人長久，千里共嬋娟，

Because I was watching LGA and they were reciting it. :)

I remember having to memorize this for Chinese School...Kya, I love Jing Ming so much! He's my favorite character!

edit x1: LGA is on crack. I thought it was serious and then I got to the part where they're trying to get Mun Bun to take the test via the wife of the guy who they need the approval from... My god... I can't watch this...It's hilarious but sooo painful to watch.

edit x2: What is a Chinese TVB show without a good meaningful sub? Here's LGA's sung by Esther Kwan and Nick Cheung:

How very apt.

edit x4: One last one. Just previewing LGA for the next ten episodes... So scary! That teacher of the Emperer's is an evil, evil person... Just getting a glimpse of what will happen made me shake and shutter... It looks like it works itself out but not before Bak Fu goes through hell... :( I don't wanna him suffer like that! And that Chow Herng. I hate her! Bitch.

Everyone, they all suck!!! Stop getting in the way of happiness and destiny!!! Damn them all!

Hmph. I like my Jing Ming. And Bak Fu. And Mun Bun. And Lo Gook (how do you romanize that?). Everyone should just die.

Ah, Sherry's in a mean mood. Must get sleep... It's starting to get to me... Ack! Tomorrow is a must study day!!! :( And eventually, I have to work on my essay because it's due on Sunday (by email).

Oyasumi.
