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.

I have this habit that when I buy one thing online, especially on Amazon, I have to buy just about six more things. Always books. Lately, I've been looking for a 50ft CAT6 ethernet cable, in fucking pink. I've never bought anything in pink before (not because I hate it, but just because... it's not what I prefer), but every single other color just screamed "business" and "you are getting old," and pink was such an unconventional color for an ethernet cable, I had to have it.

I ordered one off of Dell, they tell me it's been delayed until JULY, I call and cancel (not to mention face the most infuriating and racist customer service employee ever), bastard tells me it's been canceled, I buy another cable off of Amazon, and suddenly I END UP WITH TWO PINK 50FT ETHERNET CABLES. I AM GOING TO RIP SOMEONE A NEW ONE.

Other than that, my other recent failure is Heavenly Sword, which I've been eying since last semester. I purchased it from a user on Amazon, with the condition "Like New." Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but "Like New" to me means exactly as it sounds--IT LOOKS LIKE NEW, only it's not. Period. I expect Like New to have very, very little evidence that another human being has touched this. Instead, I received a case with a nasty sticky sticker residue stain on it, a bent and wrinkled booklet, and an oily ass fingerprint on the back of the CD--oily as in I CAN COUNT EVERY RIDGE ON THIS FINGERPRINT AND RUN IT THROUGH SOME CSI EQUIPMENT. /writes angry review.

Other than that, it's all good. =)

No senior year seems to be complete without a reasonable amount of drama, and I'm starting to think that I have a four year tolerance timer when it comes to people. We should all just stop making excuses for ourselves and own up to our faults. Stop making excuses for our loved ones too, because they can and will be wrong. I am so sick and tired of NICE people. Who the fuck cares? They're nice so you can't dislike them? Wake up. Please.

Being nice means very little. It's a pretty adjective, and congratulations, you're a nice person, but everyone is essentially nice in their own ways. There are people who would even call me nice, and it's not that I'm not nice, I just choose when I want to be. I don't like to waste my time.

Being "nice" is very different from being "good." Being a nice person doesn't automatically make you a good person by default. So this is my wake up memo to whomever, being a generally nice person is not a social buffer. It is not a "get out of jail free" card. Just because you are "nice" doesn't mean you can't be the dumbest, densest, most narrow-minded, intolerable person on the planet. Just because you are nice, doesn't make me a bad person to not like you. So will people get off their delusional high horses built of karma and remove that stick they shoved up their asses. The only thing being nice does, is make you more easily liked, and make me not hate you. In terms of good, close, strong relationships? Nice doesn't do much. Disliking someone doesn't mean you have to be rude to him/her. It doesn't mean I won't be civil, polite, or even nice to you. It just means that I don't think highly of you and would not consider developing a relationship with you.
