The fake Justin Sison strikes again!

I'm watching Bambi II right now and it's the cutest thing. I remember when we used to hate boys because they smelled bad and the boys used to think we had cooties. :) I remember back in Prep when Justin Sison had a crush on me (He's GAY now, btw)and I hit Edwin Sugay with a book for chasing me. Funny that now, all we seem to think about are boys, boys and more boys! HAHAHA.

Friggin' hell. I'm sure I can't even apply for a credit card now because this fake Justin Sison will have my credit rating ruined in seconds.


In the future, more pointless rants on:

- Robocop
- Prelinger Archives
- PSP vs DS
- Korean food
- Death Note

Stuff that happened

[ORIGINAL POST]

I really don't have time to write this due to midterms... which is probably why I'm writing this right now. I'll probably expand on these when I have a term paper due the following day.

Around the time the quarter started (March 31 & April 1st), I volunteered for the Cherry Blossom Festival in Little Tokyo. There was food, fun, and excitement, but as a volunteer I barely experienced any of it. Some of the odd jobs they had me do included being a parking attendant (?)... maintainence... sitting around doing various kids craft stuff, directing traffic (kinda), handing out programs, moving fences, and being part of a fashion crew (...sorta). I regretted not bringing my iPod; I could have really caught up with my Penn Radio archives.

I decided to add a Jujitsu class on Fridays. It was the most attractive single-credit class available (and I needed 9 credits or more to remain president of the Japan Club, though I doubt anyone would have checked), but due to Cesar Chavez Day and Honors Convocation being on Friday, my class misses more days. It's really a great class...

Honors Convocation = not fun. I wisely decided to skip out on it the first time, but I thought my mom would want to see me attend, so I decided to go this time. Naturally, she wasn't able to go after all, but I only found out after I told them I would go. When I did go, they stuck us all in the stuffy basement of the gym where we all listened to some guy talk about some thing. I didn't see my name in the program / booklet, which made me wonder if me being there was a mistake. I learned later that there was a printing error (seems they were using last year's list, because I saw some names of people who graduated already). When I finally got my "award," it turned out to be a "temporary award," something only a few people ended up getting. Isn't that something?

My brother got a DS Lite (black) and a PSP (black) from some guy on Craigslist for $250, which was a steal. We're currently enjoying Clubhouse Games (for some reason, no one wants to play me in Tetris except my cousin), and the PSP... seems nice. Since we really do need the unpatched GTA to hack the firmware, he's going to check with someone he knows if he has it... otherwise we're just going to have to eBay for it.

I finished watching Welcome to the N.H.K. It really is "life-changing"... and I'm not one to throw around that phrase at just any anime I like. It has everything anyone could ever ask for in an anime (from a catchy opening theme song to laugh-out-loud comedy... and even some nudity for good measure), and it's definitely worth watching again and again. I'm just glad I was able to download it; I suspect no one grabbed the license because of the impossible-to-translate "N.H.K".

Today's not a special day or anything, but it is the middle of the month, so here it is!


Searching for "Justin Sison" on Google, Yahoo!, and MSN...

Google: On top via my Castlevania SotN manual transcription.

Yahoo!: The fake Justin Sison takes the #1 spot, while my outdated J.S. Minnow homepage takes runner-up. I can't believe that fake Justin Sison is two years younger than me! At least no one uses Yahoo! to search anymore.

MSN: J.S. Minnow takes #1.

I swear, I'll never eat another animal...

...that can do an amusing trick.

So, I donated blood today...

[ORIGINAL POST]

Current mood:accomplished

...And it's all thanks to Penn Jillette and Penn Radio. Saving lives is a nice bonus, I suppose, but I really wanted to say that I donated blood for the three reasons Penn Jillette listed:

1. You get to brag about it. (Heck, that's why I logged in!)

2. You get the moral high ground in any argument.

3. If you walk into bar or any place where there are women and they see your arm bandaged from giving blood, they'll totally want to have sex with you (since you can only give blood if you're "clean").

Of course, like Penn Jillette (and partially because of Penn Jillette), I don't drink or smoke and never will. Tattoos are also a no-no if you ever want to be a blood donor.

So what was the actual experience like? I thought it would take ten minutes, but it ended up taking an hour and a half, so I missed my chance to watch something for class. I did get all the chips and juice that I could carry.

I'm not afraid of needles, and I can view blood without fainting, but actually seeing the blood go through the tube freaked me out a bit. Once it was going, I felt better, but I couldn't quite get my mind off the fact that my life force was literally being sucked out of me.

It was probably more painful than it had to be since I was freezing, which I believe just made the whole ordeal longer. But I got a shirt and some piece of paper (which I might end up framing or put in a binder), so it was all good.

If I could get bone marrow typed at school, I'd probably show up for that too!
