thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for letting me witness this # Monday, April 27, 2009 ( 9:49 PM ) shut up christine maybe the answer in life is really simple. maybe its as simple as getting bangs. maybe all i need is a really good haircut # Thursday, April 23, 2009 ( 5:20 PM ) shut up christine Interview with Austin Hill # Wednesday, April 22, 2009 ( 9:33 PM ) shut up christine right now i am reading an article on the role of business in the 21st century. some questions it poses: - What would the world be like if the purpose of business was "Narings Liv"--a Swedish business term for "nourishment of life" and then i come across this question:
and i wish i hadn't read that, because i know the answer is going to freakin change my life, much how these questions led me to stop eating meat damn you, why do i take things so personally. i used to think there was something very pure, noble, and beautiful about struggle and sacrifice. brian was joking when he said it, but i've been repeating his question to myself ever since: What the fuck are you trying to prove? i think, my life will be very different one year from now # Tuesday, April 21, 2009 ( 10:49 AM ) shut up christine  If you can volunteer please come to either of the following meetings below.

Thanks Kristeen Singh & Be the Cause Team bethecause.org ps: a group of my friends will be visiting one of the orphanages in Mexico this weekend (i won't be going) but we need a few males to accompany them on this trip Saturday, April 18, 2009 ( 12:23 PM ) shut up christine  for the last year or so i have deposited with dogged devotion all recyclables into a cute little blue wastebin under my desk, like such:dropping my empty toothpaste boxes and junk mail into this basket gives me GREAT satisfaction. not to be all weird but in my mind it's like if i don't do it, the world is going to die. to make my life as a superhero that much easier, the city of Cerritos has provided each residence with a big old blue recycling bin. hi-five, world saved. imagine my horror upon learning that all this time my father has been dumping my precious recyclables into the regular trash! i feel betrayed. by the way, this is why the economy has gone to shit. WHY?!?! why are you evil-doers bent on destroying the world? it's so easy to put paper into the blue bin, or to bring a re-usable bag to the grocery store...these are simple, tangible actions you can take to prevent the mother-effin apocalypse, and STILL you refuse to do your part. for shame! i can't even look at you. you're on your own, you ignoramuses. i will not save you anymore. # ( 4:56 AM ) shut up christine another good one # Thursday, April 16, 2009 ( 7:27 PM ) shut up christine i miss people at times, but i wouldn't say i'm lonely. i haven't felt lonely in a long time. i must have been a recluse in a past life. it's a blessing i think the closest i get to a very faint loneliness is when i'm in the kitchen trying to reach the tupperware on the top shelf but then i get a chair, and the feeling dissipates sometimes i wish it didn't though haha emo tears. i will just put the tupperware on a lower shelf # Monday, April 13, 2009 ( 11:11 PM ) shut up christine  this has got to be one of my most favorite pictures of all time. this is the day after i got back from india, and shwetha, jason, and sukh are picking lice out of my hair. life is so freakin beautiful # Saturday, April 11, 2009 ( 10:21 AM ) shut up christine this morning we had our yard sale at lo's house i sold my drum (!!!!!) for forty dollars and i cried on the way home i didn't think anyone was going to buy it actually i did it to test myself i think i passed the test but i'm going to let myself cry for another five minutes before i let it go for good i'm telling myself that its not the drum but the sounds that i miss and you can't hold onto sounds. you can't keep them this was good practice for me # Friday, April 10, 2009 ( 5:22 PM ) shut up christine one more shameless plug!

( 3:05 PM ) shut up christine to the 4 people who read this blog, please take a moment to sign this petition written by my friend Kat SUPPORT AFGHAN WOMEN'S RIGHTS - FIGHT NEW LEGISLATION THAT LEGALIZES RAPE # Wednesday, April 08, 2009 ( 9:45 PM ) shut up christine kya baat hai! today was love. almost a year ago, someone told me that i led a mediocre life. i LOVE my stupid little life! i love it. how fortunate we are # Monday, April 06, 2009 ( 7:56 PM ) shut up christine in a nutshell i've been mulling thoughts over in my head for a really long time and decided that i'm moving out for sure, by july. my dad outright forbid me from doing it so i'm moving on the downlow, basically the plan is that i won't come home one night, which kind of sucks. i would prefer not to leave that way, but at least i've put the idea in their heads, and i think they expect things like this from me so i don't think they'll be too surprised when i don't come back. i'm going to work at the motel until the end of the year. k brought up a good point, there's no way i can get a real job and still be involved with walk for hope & btc as much as i want to. if i'm living simply enough, my expenses will be covered with my motel pay, so it works out. beginning next year i might go back to school for nursing but part of me thinks i'm doing this to pacify my mom, and the other part of me knows it would be fulfilling. my incentive-- brian says that as a nurse i can work three days out of the week, and spend the other four doing what i really love. it's practical. but to go back to school, i have to give up 2 years, so i need to make sure that the investment i'll be making is worth the sacrifice in the longterm. or i could stay at the motel, live simply within my means, and do what i really want -- which is what i've been doing all along. need to figure out if i should compromise to get some security, or should i go for broke, literally, and trust that everything will be okay... # ( 3:38 AM ) shut up christine discontinuing BOMA for now my intentions were good in the beginning but the experiment has backfired. saving money has consumed me and i am more selfish now than ever. quick example: i have a favorite pen (Papermate Profile), which is almost out of ink. rather than spend 60 cents on a new pen, i find myself being stingy with the notes i write down. i bring up this example to show how this obsession has penetrated into the most trivial aspects of my life on top of this, i am compulsively emptying my room. i am hoarding and renouncing, simultaneously. i am also on my period, which might explain everything. damn this time of the month. i'm a mess! # |
