i am slowly going crazy, 1, 2, 3...

since i just about went nuts this time last semester, i decided to take a different approach to studying for finals this semester. i have been preparing and studying my outlines for the last two weeks. while my classmates are struggling through their notes and review sessions to put together their outlines, i am purely tinkering with mine and working on memorizing the main concepts. i've logged in an average of 60 hours a week at the library the last two months (this does not count the hours spent in class or the hours spent at starbucks or even at work). and while my classmates are pulling out their hair, stressing and cramming during dead week in those puke-yellow study rooms courtesy of tjsl... I WILL BE IN VEGAS!!!

that's right, boys and girls... instead of going plum mad, i will be relaxing and soaking up some fun in sin city.

this is some much deserved r&r, i believe, especially since there has been some serious negative drama in my life recently. plus, the nightmares have begun again... dude, it SUCKS!

but... that's all about the change. here's the plan superman: sin city => finals => trip to china => trip to taiwan => back to lalaland and oc => move out of that mutha-f*cking house => move into new apt. preferably close to the beach => work => trip to bay area in august => life as a 2L. WWHHEEEEEEEE!!!

light at the end of the tunnel = good shit!

peace.

two more weeks 'til...

I am usually not a competitive person. Strike that... I am usually an anti-confrontational person. However, it's another story on the basketball court. YOU DO NOT F*** WITH ME!!! I will drop-kick your stinking, sweaty, cowardly, stoopid ass and wipe the floor with your fugly face and have the ref call the foul on YOU!!!

DON'T YOU DARE TRY AND COP A FEEL ON A GIRL WHILE SHE'S PLAYING BBALL!!!

SLUGS ARE RAD!

the world would definitely be a more musical place if slugs could really jam! hehehe, now i'm amused and less annoyed whenever someone's car alarm goes off...

peace!

I know I stated that I wouldn't be posting publicly anymore but, I just wanted to express how blessed I felt over this weekend... this has got to be one of the best birthdays, especially since it fell on the seriously f-ed up... Friday the 13th.

Thank you all for your emails, ecards, texts, voicemails and phone calls!

I had an awesome weekend in LaLaLand filled with food, wine and good times. Special "Thanks!" to those who fed me, housed me, and entertained me! It was quite a busy weekend, so my apologies to those of you I haven't been able to chat with yet. I promise I will respond soon!

Oh, btw... Watch out! I HAVE STITCH PAWS AND A BOTTLE OF VODKA! This Halloween will be interesting... if not, November will definitely be rad.

so cracked out... part deux

So, you wanna know what rhymes with "crack"? Snack attack? Heavy backpack? My friend Shaq? Sharp as a tack? I'm bringing SexyBack? YEP! hahaha...

Yes, those all rhyme with "crack". But the one that I want to write about today is... "(F)IRAC"!

(sigh)

Those who have undergone (or like me, currently undergoing) the lovely experience of law school know what the "crack" I'm referring to. IRAC or FIRAC (as I am being taught these days) stands for Facts, Issue(s), Rule(s), Application, and Conclusion/holding. These are the necessary elements that must be extracted when one briefs a case.

So why am I boring you with these details?

It has been brought to my attention that I do not sound like me (or Mi) in my last two entries. My reason for this is because my brain is jumbled with the above, and Heaven knows, will only continue to be jumbled with legalese and pretty useless case knowledge, so much so that I do not realize which "voice" I am using when I type up these entries when I should be otherwise studying, creating outlines, briefing cases and working... shit... oh yes, I am still working part-time while in school. ACK!

Which brings me to my long standing conclusion that I will no longer be posting... at least not publicly. If you wanna know what's going on in my life, I can be reached by cellphone, email and AIM. Thank you readers!

PEACE!

so cracked out!!!

No, no, no... I don't do that anymore. Nor do I do THAT... I'm still a little curious about that, but... NO! I'm reformed. I'm rehabilitated. (snicker) No, really, I've outgrown my illegal tendencies. Dude, I don't even smoke anymore!

Seriously, my drug of choice these days is just CAFFEINE!!! (with one exception, I do not and will not drink Tab Energy... that pink shit tastes like straight-up groddy!)

Okay, I admit it... I was a little curious. When I heard one of my classmates did it... and they enjoyed it. You know, no big deal, right? So, when my roommates asked if I wanted some, I said...

HELL YEAH! LET'S DO CRANK!

huh???

Uhhh... I mean, LET'S GO SEE CRANK!

dUDe... iT WaS a FUCKING trIP yO! gO gET SoME 4 uRseLf!

Mr. Statham's sooo badass! And btw, yep, PEDRO's in it! FUCK YEAH!

A couple nights ago, I was having dinner with two close friends from college and we were chatting it up... you know the drill... who's been doing what, who's seeing who... wait, strike that, who's married to who, and ... who has... KIDS!!!

Eh? Have I reached THAT age? The age when people I know, some I've grown up with, are becoming more "established", have "careers" and suffixes attached to their names, worrying about "real estate", "finances" and "fiance(e)", thinking about 401Ks... ok, maybe not that far, but... omg... is it time for me and my peers to (gasp) GROW UP???

Hmmm... let's contemplate that thought as I attend a friend's wedding in... VEGAS!!! (chuckle) Life's full of surprises, huh? So cannot wait until November!

2006 seems to be the year of dramatic (and sometimes traumatic) change... What possibly could you mean by that, you ask? I am currently sitting on my ass, procrastinating, doing anything but my studies. Hahaha... Not much has changed since undergrad or even high school, you laugh? Dude, you have no idea... For those not in the know, five words for ya (and one exclamation):

Law school in San Diego. BOO-YAH! ;)

Top 3 Rants of the Moment:

(1) DIE PUPPY DIE!!! I will not argue that some puppies are cute! My roommate's puppy, Bella, is adorable! But, clueless and socially retarded puppies (who aren't even cute!) ... they are a nuisance! BAD PUPPY! BAD PUPPY!

(2) Some people need to fucking CHILL OUT!!! It is only the second week of school and already there are some classmates that are freaking out like the bar is next week! Omg... I wanna drop-kick some of my new "colleagues"! Second week guys, only the second week...

(3) Sigh, my back is KILLING me! It's from all the moving... and yet, my room is still a fucking mess... Ah, bloody hell! When and where the fuck did I accumulate all this sh... Yeah, I gotta stop swearing too... Not lady-like... but neither is walking around like a humpback... lol... OUCH!!!

I will end this AWESOMELY profound and yet, totally ambiguous entry with a clip from my favorite show in the whole FREAKIN' wide world... and yes, I AM A HOT TOE PICKER!!!

peace.

NOPE! my homegirl hannie took pity on poor little me and let me move in with her. LUV YA ROOMIE! come visit us! we have PIE!

thas it. peace.
