Happy Birthday Mom!!!!
Jun. 30th, 2009 11:27 amIt's my mother's birthday today. I will not reveal her age on LJ. I will say that I am surprised she's survived living with me as her daughter for the entire span of my lifetime. I am so fortunate to have such a patient guardian. You can only have one birth mother. They never ask for hell but sometimes get it. I wish I could rewind and take away all of the horribly miserable moments when I wouldn't leave my room for weeks. I just want to cherish those times that made me seem more of a person than I really am. I think my mother and I have a better relationship now because I'm older. I can express myself in more ways than one. Sometimes when I cannot bear to talk to anyone, I leave her a note slid under the door of the master bedroom. Albeit I do not proceed with this motion, with my father or sister. I know deep down they all love me and I love them back. I just need to get over these hurdles as a sprouting adult. The sooner I get out and prove my worth, the sooner I can make everyone proud of me again.
The majority of my extended family visited us in the total suburbia otherwise known as CL. Why, I wouldn't know. But it was nice seeing all of my aunts and my uncle. My cousin Charlie whom I haven't seen since my Uncle passed away was also present with his girlfriend Krystal. My sister had Matt over. (Oh joy..) Adam came over to help me make DVDs to send to GDF. Much to my surprise, he stayed for dinner. How incredibly AWKWARD! The dinner itself was tolerable and the food was incredible. Afterward, Adam helped me with my history homework and left to go burn the DVDs. As soon as he was gone, my uncle scolded me for letting him leave. I responded flatly, admitting that we were no longer a couple. In the end, my ears were scolded off and my uncle didn't speak to me for the rest of the night. I guess he really liked Adam.
I still really don't feel like writing. It's not like I mean to be a bum, I just have no desire to sit at the computer and type everything going on in my head. I attempted a voice post, but failed because I am at my maximum number for the month. You can wait till July 1st. *smile* I really want to do the voice post meme that I found on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rosenburg's journal. It was adorable. (She predicted that it would be. *grin*)
I bought myself a digital camera, but it was the wrong one. I don't like having to replace batteries every time I use my camera. Not to mention, AA batteries are not exactly cheap if one is on a tight budget. Lithium ion batteries and a charger are so much better IMO. I'll be returning the Nikon today and possibly getting a different camera for the same or cheaper price. Walmart.com had a better selection than the store. I'd prefer one that has 10 megapixels. My current and very broken camera has 8.
In the latest news, I finally have Zoomtext on my computer. It's going to last about 60 days. I had to have something or my eyes would've imploded. I can sit from a distance and type my entries. My head is almost 3 feet away from the monitor and the magnification setting is on 14x. It's nice not to have neck strain assisting my eye strain.
Oh, I also purchased two books from Borders. One is entitled The Art of War by Sun Tzu. It explains different methods of debating and proving one's point without getting overly emotional. The focus is using negative energy and harnessing one's emotions to prove a point instead of getting upset. The other book is entitled Piano & Keyboard Chords. For all you music nerds out there, I bought this book to help me transcribe guitar tabs for piano. I also want to see what chords I don't know of yet. *grin* It'll help me a great deal when I'm looking for something interesting to put into my compositions.
Lastly, a letter to the infamous mosquito population that lives amongst the human race:
Dearest Blood Sucking Vermon,
Oh how you kept me awake last night!!! I was bitten more than 15 times! How dare you invade my privacy and not show yourself to me?! You are aware than I can terminate your existence, right? If you weren't so bothersome, I would be a much happier individual. However, my main intention for when I meet one of your comrades is to take a swatter and crush his wings and his spirit. You have plagued my bedroom for far too long. I await the winter when all of you will disappear for 8 months. Be forwarned, if I catch you, you shall perish.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Asian,
S
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a pill or lotion for humans similar to Frontline Plus and K9 Advantix? Mosquitos wouldn't even dare to approach us. That's what I want some genius to invent. Too bad Billy Mays is no longer present to demonstrate the wonders of such a product.
