There was a guy playing piano and singing in a Sproul music room. I could hear him from my study room; it was "Nothing Better," by Jung Yub.. one of my favorite Korean songs. I IMed Jennifer and asked her if she could hear it from the lecture room, which was where she was studying. She said no, so she came out and we sat right outside the room and listened. I knocked on the door twice to tell him this was one of our favorite songs and that he had a very, very nice voice. But he either didn't hear it or ignored it. Finally, I decided to leave a note-- and Jennifer told me to knock profusely and run away. So I did. After a while, I came back to my room to see the note missing. Jennifer said she had heard the door open and the person leave and come back.
I went back to the study room to work. The guy played Nothing Better for the next two hours straight.
Moral of the story: Don't compliment a person too much.
LOL, I'm kidding. --
I want a new blog on blogspot for random entries like this. Should I? And-- I want to go to Korea.

i just want to write
Tuesday, 07 April 2009
how often are we too easily pleased by something such as an A on a test. there's a whole world outside waiting to be ventured into!
i want to go whale-watching (despite the fact i got seasick the last and only time i went), take a late-night drive, form a just-for-funsies band and play on the side of the road, do that thing where you climb/explore the rocks near the ocean that are homes to sea anemones, starfish, and other sea creatures, paint a wall, eat extra-ordinary foods found only at certain locations, run around like crazy in pouring rain, look for four-leaf clovers.
My friends and I were hanging out inside one of the residential hall lounges when two seemingly drunk guys came inside and approached the table I was sitting at. They decided to sit down and started having a very loud conversation about some kid named Kyle and how their lacrosse coach favored him. One of my friends asked them if they could be a little more quiet and in response, they told her to stfu (though not abbreviated, obviously) and then decided to ask my friends to turn down the already quiet laptop that they were watching a movie on. Meanwhile, I was sitting at the table as they started pounding on it in fury, making my own laptop jump.
I wish I could've said something. I had a million things to say running through my mind, but I couldn't muster enough courage to say what I wanted to. And instead, stupidly, I just sat there watching these two unbelievably stupid guys harass my friends in silence. The above audio clip is only a small portion of the whole conversation I got to record.
I feel as if I've been disappointing a lot of people lately, as well as myself. My family has been having a difficult time because of my brother and though I'm usually the one to mediate these problems, I can't because I'm so far away. So many realizations have been surfacing about who I am and how much I need change in my life.
I woke up late today. For whatever reason my phone was on silent and so I missed my alarms and phone calls and texts for today's rehearsal. There are many bad feelings, but one of the worst must have to be waking up knowing you did something wrong while you weren't even awake.
I remember my dad saying in his sermons (more than one because he always repeats himself without realizing it) that he wishes he could open his head, pull out his brain, and just dunk it in cold water and wash away all these problems and distractions and things of this world.
