I just lost my drain of thought

I had two random memories today. Well, I guess it was actually one yesterday and one just now since the first one came to me at work, where I sometimes ponder the correlation between working there and hating life. I’m kidding. I don’t hate life. Calm down.

Memory number one was about this thing that a family friend said to me once. I believe I was a freshman in high school when she said this. I think she might have asked if I had a boyfriend yet and I said no, so she went on to tell me that there really is no point. She started with how stupid it is that elementary school kids have boyfriends and girlfriends, because one, they are naive and don’t know how to care for others, and two, as soon as they get to middle school, there are more options, because there are better kids from other schools. And it’s stupid to find someone once you get there because once you get to high school, there’s more people to choose from who are even better and more mature (the mature part is not always true). But what’s the point in choosing someone in high school, she asked, when you’re going to go off to college where there is definitely going to be someone better? She said to me (or something along these lines) that dating during your secondary education is somewhat overrated because no matter what, the next place you go will have someone more suitable. It doesn’t apply to everyone, but it’s just a theory. It was sort of an awkward and one-sided conversation because I don’t usually talk to older people about relationships and stuff, especially people who are friends with my parents. But I think it’s an interesting concept.

My second memory made me laugh when I thought of it. It was about 4.5 years ago when I went to China. My aunt was talking to my mom about the son of this lady they knew. He was getting to be at an unmarriageable age and my aunt was saying that he’s pretty creepy. They started saying how they shouldn’t bring my sister and me to visit them because he would scare us. Hahaha. Then my aunt, in her low gossiping voice and with her face of disapproval (all Asian ladies have one), she said something along the lines of, “He’s such a good looking guy. It’s a shame he’s so creepy.” Hahah. Everyone’s gotta have a flaw somewhere.

I got a haircut a week ago. I like it, but it gets kind of crazy since I have “nightmare hair” (a professional hairstylist/make-up artist told me this once) and it looks like my Chinese TA’s hair before she got it straightened. I think only my roommate realized it had been cut, but it’s okay, I didn’t really see anyone this week due to finals, which I AM FRICKEN DONE WITH. YES! They were crappy and did not go that well, in case you wanted to know. I accomplished great things this week, though. Michelle and I went rockclimbing at Wooden for the first time, because I’ve been saying that I wanted to climb the rock wall since forever, forever meaning the first time I saw it at orientation. We attempted two walls and I was very sore for the next couple days. I finished the first wall with difficulty and failed the second with ease. :)  I made it more than halfway but my arms basically gave out near the end so I decided to end there and try again another time.

I was obsessing over my March Madness Bracket since the games started but after the first round, I was just too bummed to obsess over it anymore. At the last moment, another two, in addition to two others, of my teams decided to suck and not win. I wanted to go all the way!! I wanted to win money to pay for school from Facebook! Wahhh! Oh well. Maybe next year.

SPRING BREAK! WOOOOOO! I’m goin’ to a pants party today! I really want to learn guitar. I’m gonna see if I can buy a cheap one from somewhere on Sunday. I saw this guide to learning guitar at Borders on sale. There are signs everywhere! Or just one place. Same thing. OH signs..I watched Fools Rush In yesterday on TV because I like Matthew Perry and I thoroughly enjoy practically all chick flicks because they make me think that there are some guys out there who aren’t complete idiots. And man is the song they play during the credits awesome. It’s Can’t Help Falling In Love by Elvis, of course. I love that song. I’m so glad there is an Elvis version because the first version I ever heard of it was the one that came out in the 90s that was all reggaed out and probably sung by non-Jamaicans. I really don’t like reggae much and for some reason, the 90s was a popular decade for crappy reggae songs. I also hated Informer (I think that was the name) and Red Red Wine, probably also sung by non-Jamaicans. I know for a fact that the singer of Informer was a white guy from Canada, who cleverly called himself Snow. But anyway, I liked Fools Rush In. The whole sort of theme of the movie was that there are signs everywhere, which I somewhat believe, but I usually ignore them till it’s too late. :\
