i just recently read kevin's xanga. his classifications of asian girls are pretty accurate in my opinion, although classifying and judging women isnt really my cup of tea. what i noticed is that he left out a group i found existent here in davis: those girls who possess a lack of attractive qualities (or sufficient amount, depending on ones standards) YET seek only guys that greatly outnumber them in terms of qualities, qualities can be either physical or personality. in other words, girls who aint all that only wanna hookup with guys that got the good stuff. or you could also say theyre a 2.9 complaining about how much they want a 9. i feel kind of sorry for these types of girls, and just now a friend even told me "hahahah that sucks for them...they will be single for the rest of their lives then!"

sometimes i question the hygiene of some of the people in this dorm. im not quite sure of the extent to which this goes on in other dorms across the country, but some of the people have nasty habits in the bathroom. most common is probably the non hand-washer. i shall dub this person...cootybastard. do not make any sort of physical contact with this species, for they either refuse to wash up appropriately after making a tinkle or doodie. seriously, if you just made some kaka, i think you should take the precaution of soaping up anyway. my friend reminded me that if people consume feces (for whatever reason), they could ingest those worms that wreak havoc and sap your nutrition from the intestines (some worms growing up to 20 feet). good ol symbiotes. anyway, the range of cootybastards that exist in the 1st story bathroom range from those who take a crap and then do the 3 second hand wash, all the way to the guy(s) that pees, doesnt flush, and heads straight for the door. other organisms belonging to this class include the loogyhawkers in the shower, and the worst of all (at least in these showers where the floor remains undivided and everyones water travels throught the same drain) are the shower pissers....aka yellow bathers. unfortunately ive been a victim to the yellow bather numerous times last quarter, probably from the same guy. i go in, start my business, the other guy goes in, turns on his shower head, then all of the sudden i can smell urine. and hot water sure doesnt help. even though im blind in the morning, i dont need to look down to see if the waters yellow to prove that somethings going on.

or maybe im just spoiled. back in the days of the industrial revolution, people used the streets as a cesspool, and i think people actually tolerated walking down a road full of human crap (or getting crap dumped on them).

it truly saddens me when i find out an old friend repeats the same mistakes i made, and its too late for advice. its too frustrating. it makes me cringe.

you know, im damn lucky i had those great teachers back at my high school. during my international relations midterm friday, i noticed the girl sitting next to me had almost finished her essay in her blue book while i was only beginning to outline my ideas. i figured i could afford a minute to skim her completed work. now dont think i cheated, because if i did, i can foresee a massive red C- tainting that bluebook cover. in fact, the only thing i skimmed was her intro which began as follows, "In my humble opinion nonstate actors...". oh boy, i bet that glittery blue gel pen did an awesome job stressing how humble her opinion was. thus this entry is dedicated to ms. kyer, for correcting me on numerous occasions when i began my comp essay with "i would like to persuade you with this essay."

i really dont understand how polisci3 (that class) can have some of the biggest idiots while polisci2 contained some of the biggest political junkies. sometimes the idiots can be funny-- like the guy who raised his hand and said brain drain (which is a stupid political term in my humble opinion) is when the country's government kills its smartest people.

as for what drives me nuts: arm swingers. for a campus full of people, according to one professors daughter "dressed ready to go camping", they sure know how to walk improperly. you know what i mean, those in the pedestrian minority that walk with their legs moving in the right direction, but their arms are totally botching the walking process. when you walk, your legs move forward, one step at a time. while this is going on, your arms respectively move in the same manner...MOVING FORWARD. i despise these people who walk lunging their arms side to side. these people need to relive their toddler years. maybe i should prove a point and start walking sideways while moving my arms forward.

it amazes me how frequently i meet people here that seem as if they could be the twins of people i already know.
