Headache...

So yesterday I got really bored and decided to jump onto Chatroulette. Now, as some of you may know the website is starting up a penis recognition software that will block any dick-lurkers on the site. I decided to see if it's working and jumped on. Mind you, this is just about midnight. Five minutes and running through about half a million ads later, I end up with this really cute guy holding up a sign saying "I'm a boy." We end up talking, and then flirting, and then talking some more. By 3 in the morning, we were still talking, had each other's facebooks and skypes. We didn't stop talking until about 6 in the morning, when both of us kinda passed out. It was very interesting talking to him, because he actually lives in Brazil in my time zone so we were constantly figuring out the colloquialisms for each other's areas. For example, "-Q" is the equivalent of "lol"
It was very fun and the longest conversation I think I've ever had online, which is hysterical because it was with someone I never even met before. We're now blabbing on facebook a ton, so the world is happy.

Also, earlier today I decided to start studying for my Chinese final on Monday. Normally I would just open my textbook to a random chapter and start reading everything, but since I'm in my dad's house I really don't get the option to do that. So, I remembered of a website called Youku.com, which I think is the Chinese equivalent of Youtube. I go on and start watching this random Chinese kid's video. Two seconds into the movie, they whip out entirely Spanish opening credits. I was completely confused, but skipped ahead to see if it was in Spanish. It turns out to be Chinese with Spanish subtitles. I'm now sitting there utterly lost because I forgot that kid movies involve people running around at high speeds and talking like a fuckin' machine gun. Apparently in Asia, this is the norm so they decided to crank up the speed. When I say speed I'm insinuating that they snorted up some 'speed' or 'crack' and decided to start voice acting these characters on LSD. I'm now trying to read the Spanish subtitles and listen to this Chinese jargon that sounds like one gigantic word (I mean by it sounds like "喂我不喜欢说汉语还是说西半语我喜欢吃男朋友和小孩子分你们都不认识这个汉字你妈妈FUCKYOUALL." Yeah, you understand that? Neither do I.) when my dad and stepmom decide to run in. If that doesn't make anything better, my stepmom also likes to scream out in her native language: Finnish.

Dad: We're going to Walmart! 8D
Tarja: Jöö, tuttanne sinä vittupää!
Dad: LET'S GO NOW, BIOTCH.
Video: 你喜欢吸烟吗我喜欢跟我来我们喜欢五十年!
Subtitles: Me gusta comer mucho pene!
Dad: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WATCHING?!
Tarja: Let's go to Walmart! 8D Sinä olet hoora!
Video: 你们都吸男还是吃男我不认识为什么吃男太好了!
Subtitles: Chuleta de cerdo?

To make things worse, I think the ad to the right of the video was in Japanese... I have such a huge headache now.

The song of the day is Jazz Horse from Weebls-Stuff.com

Vacations are odd

The time I've spent back home has been...interesting. Ever since I got back from my college tour I've been stuck in this really odd mix between crazy amounts of action and sitting around blankly staring at my laptop. Not that I really mind, given that it's vacation, but I really just want to hang out with friends. Which is true in some respects, I'm spending at least a couple hours every day with one of my closest friends.

I posted this about a month ago, I'm in a major production done entirely by the junior class for my school. It's a mock beauty pageant with men as contestants and women as their sponsors. My friend A.H. is my sponsor and we're planning on using all of our acts to use tons of ironic humor and trashing eHarmony. I'm pretty excited for it! I've been meeting with A.H. constantly to go over the scripts and see what we want to do. Tons of work involved, I only hope that I make it all work within two weeks. Our show will be on March 5th.

And if the pageant isn't anymore crazy on my schedule, I have to create a bunch of projects for all of my classes! For my Chinese class I have to create a family tree and for Chorus I have to create a poster about the songs I find inspirational and why. You'd probably wonder why my Chinese project is going to be easy but strangely enough it isn't. My family has a very extensive history of people getting divorced, remarried and having more kids on both sides. This wasn't bad at first until my dad decided it would be a great idea to marry someone from rural Finland. Because of that, the amount of members in my family literally doubled. That's only the people I know of when it comes to my immediate family. When my step-mom was counting off the people in her immediate family she got up to 50 before she lost count. I am seriously disturbed by that. Fortunately, my teacher decided to give me a break and chop off my step-family because she knows how extensively my family travels. I still have to learn all of these characters to do my family tree, half of which she hasn't taught us before vacation began. I tried asking J.A. if she taught the class anything on Friday (I was already in Chicago then), he had no idea what to do either and we decided together we're all going to fail.

I think I'm going to play it nicely with these projects...

Family Meetings Confuse Me...

So here I am, now at my dad's house. It's pretty much in the middle of nowhere (Like it takes half an hour to get to the nearest shopping center. Not city, just little plaza place.) so I tend to spend quality splurge time here given that I rarely eat anything substantial or sleep at all when I'm at my mom's house. I don't mean that in a "My mom's house is so crazy, I can't eat or sleep there" way, it's just that my mom and I tend to forget about eating and sleeping together until like 11 at night where we just look up at each other and are like, "Did you have dinner?" "I dunno, did you have lunch?" "...I'm not sure..." then completely forget about the conversation for another hour.

But I digress...

So today I decided to crawl out of bed around 11 after some random helicopters decided to have a sexy party outside my house. I spent a few hours lounging around the house rereading The Child Thief by Brom when my brother Dale decided to call saying he and his girlfriend are coming over for dinner.

Now, this is my brother who has been the family slut for the past decade, who has barely kept a girlfriend for over a month at a time and has sworn off girlfriends for the past 3 and a half years. All of a sudden in November he just popped out of the woodwork bursting with joy screaming, "I GOT A GIRLFRIEND!!!" This is my reaction:

So we had dinner together. It was painfully obvious that she wasn't acting her true personality in front of my dad and stepmom, but no one seemed to care. I think that my parents were so happy to see that my brother has a girlfriend that they really don't care by how bad an actor she is. She knew that I knew, so she really didn't say a word to me. Oddly enough, by the end she hugged me and said she hoped to see me again. My immediate reaction was: "Yeah, uh huh. We're meeting someplace else so I can see who you really are." So, when I was talking to my dad and stepmom they were asking me what I thought of her and I was like "I haven't... made a full first impression yet." trying not to talk about how she was totally faking that personality. I mean, she probably has a real sweet side to her that she can whip out, but I know that isn't what she's usually like once you get to really know her. Maybe I'm just being overprotective of my brother?

Oh, by the way, the song of the day is "You Don't Dream in Cryo" from the Avatar soundtrack, composed by James Horner.
