Don't have much to offer, and I tend to go into long rants after poor transitions. If that doesn't scare you off, apply here.

That's right, another year of complete failure has passed. Get ready for another!

- Is incredibly sick and losing voice? Check.
- Has taken cold pills to avoid being forced drinks during birthday dinner? Check.
- Spent "real" birthday dinner with best friends at Japanese restaurant where adequate tip was given this time (and not by me)? Check.
- Pigged out at best cheesecake store in the city afterward? Check.
- Received prompt phone call from man friend at 11:58pm to wish me happy birthday? Check.
- Turned every sentence into an unnecessary question and checked them off? Check.

Will party like a fat person tomorrow night again at Cheesecake Factory because I am a cheesecake whore and my friends know it.

Also, my friends can expect subject title to be used many times until it is August.

<3 Her for this.

To quote one of my best friends on my 4th of July, "Your mojo was ruined." The day saved itself by the end, free of immature and selfish people.

Now here's a serious problem I have with people. If you make plans, you stick by your plans. You don't bail and ditch people for no good reason. Poor excuses include but are not limited to: "I'm tired" (because let's face it, WE'RE ALWAYS TIRED. WE'RE GOING TO BE TIRED FOR MANY DAYS TO COME. Unless you just pulled four all-nighters in a row--and trust me, I know how that feels--and just competed in the Tour de France, that excuse ain't gonna fly); "It's raining" (yeah, it's called the fuckin' weather. Get used to it. It's going to rain many more times to come); "I forgot" (I particularly hate this one, because I expect people to remember their plans, and you know what? REMEMBER ME. That's right, I'm a selfish bitch, but hey, I don't forget you, so don't forget me. What's even worse is people who forget, then remember, and then decide to not notify you of the broken plans. WTF). Ranting aside, and people who do nothing but complain without contributing ignored, it was fun.

We started at Dim Sum, which in Chinese is called yum cha and translates to "drink tea," because well... you drink tea. I have no idea where Dim Sum came from, white people come up with the craziest things (one of which being "Boba" instead of "Bubble tea," I don't think so). We asked for some ice water and this is what we got:



And at the table next to us? Like my stalker picture?

YEAH, WTF RIGHT? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Anyways, we ended up the movies where a friend works and movie hopped from The Hangover to Ice Age 3. Hangover was funny, but lost some of its charm when we repeated some scenes (we left and then went back into another showing). It's a good and fun one-time movie. Ice Age was "meh." Lol, our Theatre Friend helped up hop movies, pulling out a chart with all the complete showtimes.


Applebee's bar. That, is a mudslide. Right after I drank it, my throat started killing me, and it's been like that since. o.O Worth it? Perhaps. I doubt the drink was the real cause.


Went to Battery Park to view the Macy's fireworks (also saw Jersey's inferior fireworks... or was it Staten Island? We couldn't figure it out, for shame). The picture was our view, taken about half an hour apart. Pieced it together for a full view =) One of the buildings had red, blue, and white lights.

Our fireworks: I had to lean over the railing and for these.

Barnes & Noble is always an adventure of sorts to me. Whether it be that I'm rushing in to use the bathroom, or shoplifting (only joking!) I always end up spending a lot of time browsing new books. I wandered over to one of the big tables, stacked with what they labeled as summer reading for teens. City of Bones looked good, and I read good reviews online, but the moment I saw Stephenie Meyer's name and quote on the cover, I put it down and thought, "Maybe next time..." It's fascinating how much her name revolts me now, since once upon a time, I adored her. And then I went to rehab.

Browsing the YA section, I just have one thing to say: I am so sick of these fantasy stories where a girl moves into a new town or goes through some life changing event, gains some weird power or something else that makes her oh so attractive to the fantasy species of the author's choosing, meets "mysterious" boy from said species, falls madly in love in about two seconds flat, and [insert rest of story here]. I don't read a lot of YA books because I feel like they usually aren't developed as well as regular novels, and the characters are usually shallow. If I ever get sick of the sci-fi/fantasy genre, it'll be thanks to reading the backs of these books. This theme/story plan is so fucking overdone, authors need to know that 1) it's not "unique" anymore, and 2) it's just plain dumb now.

This lady came up to me while I was browsing shelves and immediately started suggesting a series to me. "The Sookie Stackhouse series, the books that the show TrueBlood is based on, is AH-MAY-ZING." She even pointed to where the books were.
So I flashed her my best I'm-trying-not-to-be-socially-awkward smile, and said, "Yeah, I already read them. I love it." Which is all true.
She seemed pleased with herself and tapped the book in her hand. "This one, Dead and Gone is the latest."
That book came out a while ago, so I don't know why she was buying it now if she's such a big fan, but I didn't say anything and instead what went on in my mind was, "QUICK! WORK ON YOUR PEOPLE SKILLS!" So my social awkwardness superpowers kicked in and I just gave her that smile, nodded, and kind of did nothing. COME BAAAAAACK, I WANT TO BE FRIENDS FOR TWO MINUTES. After she left, a million potential conversations went through my head. Should have definitely asked if she preferred Eric or Bill, because Eric is WAAAAY hotter.

That amazing story aside, I bought a few books (because I like to buy faster than I can read), a couple magazines on dSLR photography (because I WILL master it), the Time Magazine Michael Jackson special (RIP MICHAEL!!), and I knocked over a book on display into the information desk and the man working there, because I'm good like that. Oh, I also bought some Godiva dark chocolate pearls because the packaging was so nice and I'm a sucker for dark chocolate.

Just saw Transformers after going to eat at my favorite Malaysian restaurant, and it was puh-ret-ty good. Going to see it IMAX next. =)

Though the first movie was way better, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen can definitely stand on its own. It might have been a little too much action and not enough story, but slap Megan Fox's face in it, and my mind turns to jelly like a puberty stricken boy. I'm sorry, what were you saying? That aside, I love the humor in Transformers, they never fail to mix it seamlessly with the action. Like I said earlier, it may have been a little too much non-stop action instead of story development (you wonder where the 2.5 hours went), but it was DAMN GOOD ACTION. I will not get sick of watching Bumblebee save their asses, nor will I ever get sick of watching crazy robots fold out of shiny cars. I like shiny very much. I also like Josh Duhamel and Tyrese very, very much. I do love men in uniform.

BUT, no large movie showing is complete without the one annoying dumbass that ruins the mood. First, there was some retard taking flash photos during the previews. I enjoy my previews, thank you very much, and I don't need someone's constant flash going off in the front. WHO THE FUCK TAKES PICTURES IN A MOVIE THEATRE??? YOU'RE SITTING IN A SEAT, CONGRATULATIONS. Ok no, I've taken pictures in a movie theatre--BUT I DON'T TAKE THEM WHEN THE PREVIEWS ARE PLAYING.

There was also the classic I-must-whoot-and-clap-at-every-opportunity audience member. This bitch starts cheering at a PREVIEW of Harry Potter. Now, I love some HP, but IT'S A PREVIEW, DUMBASS. YOU'RE GONNA CHEER DURING THE PREVIEWS??? It's like saying "Whooo, it has nothing to do with what I'm watching now and I can't watch it for another couple of weekssss!" The same psycho bitch claps every time an Autobot destroys a Decepticon. WTF. What movie do you think you're watching? THE GOOD GUYS WIN. YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF DECEPTICONS GET DESTROYED, IT'S NOT A SURPRISE. Cheering once or twice I can understand--but EVERY TIME? Get a life bitch, you're not the only one who's watching the movie.

Ah, good movie, good movie. =)

Oh, also finished Heavenly Sword, AWESOME. I am now trying to collect all 129 glyphs, but I'm sadly 8 shy, and it looks like it's going to be like that. And Nerooooo, you are so hottttt.
