Aunt Jodi = aw.....

AW MEANING ATTENTION WHORE.

Recently, I've been tracking this whole Jon and Kate Plus 8 situation. For those who are close and dear to me, I have been obsessed with JK+8 since the beginning of time aka the beginning of my college career.

Having that said, of course, everyone knows that there has been extreme media coverage lately...revolving around scandal, around deception, conflict....etc etc. It all ends with a big fat D-word. What else is new, right?

Well, we owe it all to Radaronline.com to bring us the latest meaningless celebrity gossip. One thing I noticed when I stumbled across the site, is that "Aunt Jodi" has been spewing her opinion on things. Apparently, untold secrets, the "insider's" view on things.

http://truthbreedshatred.blogspot.com/

There's a blog created by the spineless. The comments are disabled, because she's too afraid to view the results. If you're going to create a controversial blog with a bunch of middle-aged-woman-whining strewn together with a dash of random Googled quotes about "truth" in an attempt to sound witty, well...then grow a pair!

Honestly, people can say how much Aunt Jodi has suffered. Boo frikkin hoo. The only truth there is, is that Jodi is an AW (see beginning). If you do crave the spotlight but play it off like you're doing things to benefit other people's children, then stop doing interviews with incredible tabbie sites. If you take care of other people's children out of the kindness of your heart, it shouldn't matter if you get paid for doing it on camera or not. Furthermore, if you really cared about the well-being of the children, you would stop hogging the Radaronline spotlight and do something about it on your own.

Folks, Jodi is crying out for attention, and her sister is feeding it and feeding it with this blog. The same woman who thought it was alright to give toddlers gum, the same woman with that blank dim-witted stare has been simply jealous this whole time. Her sister-in-law lands a show on TLC. You can say all you want about how this isn't true, how she is not jealous, but the fact is, when you go on a Radaronline.com interview spree, you're showing the world that you wanted the fame and attention all along.

When I watch their video, I feel like the resulting feeling of tremendous irritation is mostly caused by the fact that these are not intelligent people. They are jealous, slow individuals who have to settle for an online tabbie in order to satiate their hunger for fame. They pretend to care about the well-being of their nieces and nephews, yet they publicly denounce the children's parents. Psychiatrists will tell you anything you want to hear if you pay them enough. They can be pretty convincing too. But, just look at that picture. Do these people look like they need much convincing? It probably takes their brains 24-48 hours to process information.

Aunt Jodi, sporting the traditional witch look needs to tone it down and stop acting like an innocent victim. A woman with two rowdy children can NOT tell a woman like Kate how to raise eight. Absence of a vertebral column must run in the family. And..her husband...I....mh. There are no words to describe him. The picture tells a BILLION words.

Lay off the weed, bud.

Update on Flash and BB Games

I've been addicted to a couple of flash games by Armour Games. For reference, the most popular one is "Castle Crush," which is pretty addicting. All of their games listed under "strategy" are WONDERFUL. Really w-onderful.

You get this catapult with an assortment of rocks and later (surprise) something else. You try to topple the complex kingdoms, hoping that the beams will hit the King, Queen, Knight, Squire, Princess. There are a couple of levels, and some you can beat with one hit-- others are a different story.

In other news, as a prospective crazy cat lady, I found a fun virtual cat show/breeding browser-based game. It's called Pure Felinity...and...very appropriately with the domain name purefelinity.com. I am allowed to have up to 2 accounts, which can be linked. This is a pretty awesome feature, because not many games allow you to link your accounts (ie: unlimited number of transfers of items and money between them, reference to the other on one's page). I'm a basic member as of now, but who knows? I may upgrade to Star quite soon. It is addicting, but not time consuming. Mmmh I like it. Reminds me of MissBimbo, although MB is much more of an unintelligible sort of addiction created by someone merely 2 years my senior....and bummed off of a French original.

Ouai ouai....ce'st trop mal.

Epilogue

Why doesn't it feel like my birthday still?

OH RIGHT, because my stupid boyfriend stumbled in drunk at 3AM when he promised he would come back before midnight to watch movies with me!

(｡◕‿‿~｡) ♥

It's about 15 minutes until my birthday in West Coast time; 2 and 3/4 hours past East Coast time.

Only one person has wished me Happy Birthday, and it was...on Facebook.

My boyfriend went to party with some friends, despite having promised me his return to at least count down to midnight.

I only turn of legal age once.

Chopchopchop. It's okay.

"I personally believe that U.S Americans..."

I was watching the whole MTV college life show yesterday during my study break. It pains me a little, knowing that this university is supposedly better than my university, yet the people are so stupid. I often wonder, if I had gone to a private institution or even Ivy League, would I still feel like this? Probably.

Although I can be lazy and although others may get better grades than I do, I have this complex where I am not limited to think, but in fact I know I am smarter than 90% of my peers. This may or may not be true, but unfortunately I do have this complex.

There is supposedly this "studious" girl on the show. I don't quite remember her name; I've only seen the show once. It really annoys me when people think it's terrible that their parents want them to work hard in school; apparently, this girl only got good grades because she was pressured by her parents.

Of course, this girl is young. She just started college. But, isn't it common sense that getting a good education is pertinent to a comfortable lifestyle? She started crying about how she was sick but had so much studying to do. Old news, girlfriend. That's what happens in the real world. That's what it takes to make it in this world. But...suddenly I remembered something.

It lead me to think about all the stupid, famous people you see on TV. Most of them barely graduated high school at all. Our Green Day coined "American Idiot" society has allowed us to get rich and famous by virtually just being moronic. We have talentless weirdos in "Love with..." shows or people who get famous from highly synthesized songs riddled with heavy bass and auto-tuned vocals. Octomom's a really dumb b-word, but she's become famous as a result of it.

Who knows who Paul Krugman is? Who knows who the last Nobel Laureates of Physics were? Very few. In our day and age, intelligence seems to matter very little. In fact, the more so you lack the intelligence, the more rich and famous you seem to be.

It's okay, Yoichiro Nambu. There there.

But furthermore, many of my peers don't know anything outside of their concentration. Not to be pretentious, but it'd be nice to care a little about the future and well-being of humanity. People don't seem to know what's really going on in Iraq, or what the Israeli-Palestinian conflict entails. Granted, it may not seem important, but in the long run, we are part of the international community. Whatever happens in it, affects everyone. It may seem like at the time, making a spreadsheet of credits and debits is more important, but no. Any wrong move made by anyone in the international community could cause another World War and ultimately end everything. Apocalypse isn't as far as it seems.

On the other hand, although I'm moderately politically Conservative myself, I don't find global warming ridiculous. This is not to say that I am by any means a hippie, because I'd prefer to not have my hair spewing from under my sleeves, but it's ridiculous how people think global warming is a ploy made up by crazy liberals. This is a very good example of people not having enough knowledge outside of their concentration. You can analyze the rate of the temperature increasing and look at all this data from previous researches. It's not a lie; just because all you know happens to be about Political science, does not mean that you know about the world.

Of course, no one can know everything, but I cherish those who have mundane views. I pride myself in my choice of variety, and hold others to a similar standard. By 2010, I may not be a Harvard graduate, but I'll probably know more than one.

Confucius says:

Upon feeling completely hopeless about my two finals (refer below), I decided to tell my dad on Gmail. He has this thing with spewing out this Chinese-proverbial-esque sort of wisdom. The conversation that ensued was (concealing the screen names for obvious privacy reasons):

(me): my classes this quarter are incredibly hard...
(dad): human like a sponge, can be squeezed and give more when squeezzed

I guess that's true. Thanks, Dadfucius. I'll take it one step further though..I should make like a shamwow.

Watch out you little eigenshits...

Find the (3x3) nonsingular matrix A if..."socialism has a human face"?

Studying for finals is never easy. I have two on Monday: Linear algebra and History of communism. Needless to say, right now my life is looking a little bleak at the moment.

One thing that does not help me a whole lot when dealing with finals is the fact that I seem to forget what I learned in the beginning of the quarter. What the hell signified that a matrix was singular again? How do I find out if a basis exists or not? How do I find the eigenvectors and eigenvalues for a given matrix?

The answer to all of those questions is a big fat: I don't know. Truth be told, communism is way easier to study for than math, so I have been putting the latter off. This is quite unfortunate.

In the end, I envy my roommate. She has the time to play with her friends, to essentially do nothing day after day. Being a Dance major, I'm assuming all she would need to do is go to class and dance. I'd love to just go to school everyday and dance. How wonderful of a life is that? The most stressful thing she had to do this quarter was to write a big paper. I've had to write two 6-8 papers, study for 5 exams and 3 10%-weighted quizzes throughout the year while at the same time completing 400 pages of reading and doing two math homework assignments every week...with the addition of econ practice problems (not mandatory, but I did them anyway for practice). Needless to say, I'm pretty busy.

As a college student should be right?

I'm writing this post though. Heh. Back to studying.

Happy Birthday, Mikee.

Lost Touch

I've lost touch with my gaming side lately. Who knew being a college student would entail 0 fun? Man I love college my ass really. If you're a slacker with a useless major, then perhaps. I won't single out any though. Just in case.

Anyway, as a result of this sudden influx of coursework and looming finals, I've found it very difficult to play any games at all. Last quarter I was obsessed with cutesy Wii games like Mario Kart and Mario Galaxy. This quarter, I can barely fit in one weekend of Monkey Ball 2 (which I've almost beaten by the way).

I'd forgotten that earlier this year, I applied to some internships with Blizzard and Jagex. Needless to say, the supply for an econ student is probably pretty high relative to the demand. (It's funny, because I'm envisioning the supply/demand curve in my mind as I curse its existence as my field of study). The Blizzard one reads:

Thank you for your interest in Blizzard Entertainment’s Internship Program. After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that we will not be moving forward with your application. Details on Summer 2010 Internships will be posted on our website at www.blizzard.com/ur in September 2009. We wish you the best and thank you for your interest in Blizzard Entertainment!

Blizzard University Relations

How unprofessional; and way to maximize a the mail-merge function. It doesn't matter though, because I've found a better, more useful internship. I get a stipend too, which is pretty alright with me.

2 bad.

Elva's Plastic Surgery

Elva Hsiao or 蕭亞軒 has been definitely gone under the knife..or laser...whatever they use now to create that extra epicanthic fold for Asian celebrities. For those who are new to the term, I will demonstrate.

Simply put, one has an eye "fold," while the other does not. This is a popular surgery in Asia, especially among celebrities. My childhood Korean piano teacher had told me before that 8 in 10 women in Korea have this surgery done.

To me, I can't really say much. Everyone in my family has this seemingly coveted fold, and so I never really knew what it was like to not. I guess I could compare to breast implants, although...I'd have to say it is much easier to get the eye surgery done.

Anyhow, I recently noticed that Elva has had this procedure. I first heard of her about 8 years ago give or take. Then, she was a cute girl; to my surprise, she did not have this surgery. Her eyes were small, but she was listed by many local NJ Chinese newspapers as pretty.

One of Elva's original albums.

A cute girl, nice voice... I didn't really see it coming. I suppose after Jolin had her face, eyes, nose, and breasts done, Elva wanted to follow suit. After her new album came out, I was shocked at the reconstruction of her face. Did she get a nose job too?

Is the new trend in Asia Caucasian wannabe? I can see and feel the pressure, but what does that degrade them to? Although I absolutely love Ayumi Hamasaki, sometimes I look at her and feel that she doesn't even look Japanese anymore. It's a raceless, unnatural sort of doll-like feature. I was shocked to see the differences in people's faces.

Iffy Jiffy - Stuck in Peanut Butter

Well I've gotten myself into a little bit of trouble. I've heard every rumor and have retained it quite well especially since my middle school/high school years. The only secret I can't keep now are ones by myself.

On the other hand, recently, I heard a rumor about one of my friends from one of my roommates. She is not his friend, but I'm not sure if she realized she's mine. The rumor was a little shocking to me because I've never seen this kid in that sort of light before; very slanderous.

Later, as I was talking to him, I suddenly remembered the rumor and

made a swift decision in my head to tell him. My thoughts ran something like I think I should tell him...even though right now I have a really bad feeling about it. Mmh, granted I did, I told him.

I said something along the lines of "Um, can I tell you something?" He responded that it sounded ominous. I told him he wouldn't like it and then proceeded to recite to him the rumor. He finally responded "lol, who told you this?" Well, this part got me in trouble. I paused for a second at the keyboard. Should I tell him who told me? She might have not intended for me to tell anyone. But usually she tells me when things are secret, so this probably isn't one.

I concluded three things: 1) He'd be smart enough to not tell her I told him; 2) It was not a secret and a common rumor (usually when it's a secret, she says "Only I know this" which is my mark to not tell anyone); 3) He's my friend in the end. I should tel him.

The verdict was ultimately: Tell him. As the reader, you can probably already foresee the problems with this. I actually am not stupid; I actually did see some black clouds from miles away, but I figured my moral reason for telling him would ease my tension. I figured If I'm doing the right thing, then this will be best in the long run right?

NO. FAIL.

What ended up happening was, he asked me who had told him. Now, this guy is not loud and obnoxious. He seems quite reasonable. Pretty mature. After all, he is a year or two my senior. I decided to tell him.

In the present, my memory fails me. I remember typing "This is an anonymous tip," but did I really send it? That's honestly what it was meant to be. I didn't mean to incriminate my roommate. Now, I feel like....well I haven't seen the show, but the name gives me a pretty good idea what it's about...a GossipGirl. I feel like I am one of the antagonists on MTV'S The Hills and my roommate is Lauren Conrad.

I received a text early in the morning. "Why the hell did you tell [him] about what I told you?" I knew I was in trouble, and for what? For blindly trying to help out a friend who I had overestimated? I never had mal intentions, but now it's done and it's over.

Because I don't want to further unknowingly incriminate people, I have not used any names in this post, as much as I hate doing so. It takes out the personal aspect of reading someone's blog, but nontheless, I've learned my lesson. If I can't be trusted with a secret, then I guess other people can't either. My bad.

On a side note, I logged onto Facebook this morning and found a couple of messages suggesting she was mad (noting that I had apologized, which I never do since I have such a hard head). Her status read: [Roommate's name here] is disappointed at people... sigh i wish i was lady gaga so the only thing i care about is music and big dicks!

It was my fault for causing all of this, but as a result of my unfaultering God complex and tremendous ego, I am a little annoyed that she would blatantly post about things regarding me on Facebook. I'm not stupid. I am your roommate; your Facebook updates show up on my news feed.

Whatever though. Girls are girls. Maybe this is why I don't like that missing Y chromosome. Guys would be mad for about 10 minutes...at most, an hour and rant at me for the time being. Girls are sneakier; they write hinty things on Facebook and My

Space and...well blogspot HAH! But really, it just reaffirms my social stance and explains why it is difficult for me to get along with girls. My strong agression only works with males who have the ability to let things go. My own kind has averse effects on me.

We'll see what happens in the end.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 and Haters

Well, I noticed something was going wrong with JK+8 once season 4 aired. It went downhill from there after it caught media fire. I'm just wondering why people are such haters about everything.

Sure, I'm a hater regarding some things, but why so much hate for a couple struggling with 6 children? There are all these accusations of the couple "exploit" their children. I'm sure that if they were not on the show, the Gosselins would not be financially able to provide for all the opportunities they have on the show. I highly doubt that a couple in their 30s would really give a damn about fame. Honestly, I don't give a damn about it and I'm approximately a decade behind.

Most of these haters are young people who don't have children or softy-mothers. I'm not really into the whole love = lax thing. My mother wasn't all hugs and kisses 100% of the time; she yelled at me, she nagged me, she'd give me a slap on the arm if I needed it. I turned out to be far more successful (so far) in comparison to peers whose parents were all hearts and sugar-coated compliments. When I was growing up, I'd always wonder why other children's parents would say "It's okay. As long as you tried your best, sweetie" to a grade C, while mine would hit the table angrily with their fists and lecture me about how I'll be flipping hamburgers at McDonalds for the rest of my life if I keep this going. Now, I know.

I'm sorry Kate wants her children to grow up healthy by buying strictly organic food for them. I'm sorry she loves her children enough to sacrifice her own privacy in order to make them happy. People can say "We all have children, and we don't make money off of them," but do you have 8 children and two sets of multiples? The answer 99% of the time is probably no.

I've read recently, that some people were complaining about Kate's lavish behavior. She goes to the spa, goes tanning, goes SHOPPING (how dare she?)....what's wrong with that? It never occurred to me that it was BAD to relax and reward yourself once in a while.

I've seen comments like "She should stop being so tyrannical and let her kids be kids!" First of all, Jon is probably the epitome of an immature man. Boys are immature, and well...most of them stay that way. Someone needs to keep him in check; it's not being abusive, it's being on top of things. And I've seen a mother in a Target bathroom watch her daughter crawl around the floor looking under stalls, and laughing at it saying "Hahahaha ohhh my god honey. You need to take a shower when we get home." Is that what being a kid is about? Having no boundaries so you can grow up to learn about them yourself? Some beg to differ, but I'm so sorry. I don't conform to idiocy.

Since my shower radio now works (hooray!), I was listening to Seattle's KISS FM and heard the "latest update" on JK+8. Apparently Kate was chillin in an "itty bitty" orange bikini sans Jon and plus the body guard (Steve) Kate's been rumored to been having an affair with. Oohhh she's been hanging around him lately and Jon's not around... Did it EVER occur to the morons who created this stupid rumor that the body guard is always with them, because he's their FUCKING BODYGUARD? Last time I checked, bodyguards ...well they guard the body of the person their working for. How would this be possible, if he's only there 20% of the time? He'd surely win the body guard of the year award if that were the case. But obviously not. As a result of him fulfilling the basic duties of his job, he's having an affair.

In the end, I truly feel sorry for this family. Their lives have been basically dissected, prodded at, and ruined by the media and by these hypocritical young people. If you think "I would never this, I would never that" go have some children. Go pop some 8 children out and raise them for a good 9 years. I'll tell you how you like them apples.

Not very much.
