And before I got out of the door this morning, things could not possibly be more absolutely, magnificently WONDERFUL.
It's kinda funny how I always complain about the little things (well, maybe not super tiny, but not very important nonetheless), but not on the more important ones. Somehow, there's reluctance there.

Death Week ♥
It's barely almost 1 am. Eyes are dry, droopy and, according to Mother, red.
Tomorrow I go to Japan Town for the Sakura Matsuri...and to buy stuff in Kinokuniya. Oh, gotta go get money before leaving tomorrow. Parents will not be going, so aunt will take me there.
Could not contact Larry this afternoon, nor now. Well. Isn't this just dandy, right after missing my train because Amtrak ticket sellers was slow and made me miss my train.
Watching 1x08 Doctor Who: Father's Day. Made me dislike Rose more and made me ♥ his dad. Hmm...no blood even for a fatal injury.
This week:
S: Study Bio
M: Study Bio
T: Bio exam 1 & Study Calc
W: Calc exam 1 & Do Chem Lab
T: Chem Lab & Study Chem
F: Woke up at 7:30 for breakfast in DC, studied more between that and classes, Chem exam 1, failed, came back and sort of packed and cleaned, googled Mokona=Modoki with Amy (got me interested in Tsubasa/xxxHolic again), walked to Amtrak station, got there 10min early, was in line for 15 because of some stupid women (though I already reserved my ticket; the reservation machine was broken), waited more while said women fiddled with how to print the ticket for 5min, waited for the next train for 50min, and didn't get to Milbrae Station until 8:50. Yeah, great, just a joyful week. Oh, and guess what, I'm watching creepy Doctor Who 1x09, while I should be showering and sleeping and waking at 9am so I get out the door by 10.
Yay for stress and self-loathing and Rose is really starting to irritate me. Little kids going 'mommy' is creepy. And Christopher Eccleston is bleh...like he's always grimacing. Gah, the 'mommy' kid is creepy.
Yes, I'm getting ranty. Should go sleep. Or shower, then sleep. Er, not before I finish this episode anyway.

OMGWTFBBQ (aka Moldy Pen Tip)
I am torn between grossed out and terribly fascinated that fungi can grow in ink and turn green from the pigment.
New favourite food
Horseradish cheese is now one of my favourite foods, along with lobster, pomegranate juice, Switzerland 70% dark chocolate, black rice, uni, mother's tiramisu, and fresh fish.
♥.

Picnic Day
It rained all day.My shoes and jacket and socks and pants are all wet. And it has been bloody cold, with no heat in the room.
Got a bunch of free tomato starters, sunflower saplings, a baby pansy, and mold resistant strawberry plants. Also got sample packages of almond, organic baby carrot, and pistachio. There was also a booth where they let people stick corn in a machine to get popcorn kernels. I got an extra whole corn so I can try popping it directly on the corn XD (Plant and Environmental Science)
Parents, aunt, and I also toured the campus brewery, and got some very well made ice cream from the food science and technology people. Didn't get to see Battle of the Bands or goat milking or much of others, but we did went to play the Lazer Maze—an hour of queuing for 3 minutes of dodging lasers. Dad kept getting caught.
Yeah, didn't get to see a lot of stuff. There's always next year, I suppose.

Posting this on a class discussion board is probably a bad idea, but nonetheless done.

i know this may sound awkward.. but is having acne or pimples is becuase that there is traffics and cause proteins can't go through the cell/plasma membrane?
---PcBY said on 04/12/2007 22:03:59:---
I thought it was because the blocked pores are infected. From what I've read, however, it seems that most kinds of acne is caused by some kind of narrowing of pore opening, resulting in blocked pores, preventing things that need to be excreted from being eliminated, which may or may not result in inflammation.
(This next paragraph got a little out of hand, the more I type.)
If proteins cannot go through the membrane, wouldn't lysosomes get rid of that excess stuff? If it doesn't, then the cell would burst from so much un-shipped goods (like viruses bursting out of a cell—just lovely). And then? Maybe the dead cells provide a great place for bacterial breeding...Further speculations down this road seems more strange, because if acne is caused by dead cells exploding, then what is causing them to explode throughout the area of effect (usually the face, but sometimes on other parts as well), in a rather well spaced-out manner? (Imagination plus not enough knowledge on the subject goes a long way.)
In any case, whatever that's causing acne would most likely travel by vesticles to the outside of the cell, so unless there is some serious mislabeling, not getting out seems to be a pretty unusual thing to me.

Care.
Maybe life would be better for everyone if I just stop understanding and respond as my own emotions dictate. Maybe it'd be better if I don't pay attention, if I don't observe these things and care.
Perhaps there is merit in being a clueless women after all.
Witnessed, but helpless. Can do nothing but watch as they lead themselves to fail, agonizing all the while. I agonize with them.
Watching people brining themselves to ruins hurts. Any attempt to help is futile. It will only result in ruined bonds and an dark ache for me.
Like an uphill battle all the time. Between self and envy and others and habits and consciousness and discipline and want. And loathing of my own powerlessness, my weakness, my dependency, my easily permeable pathos.
Some time between age 10 and now, I have stopped living for my toys, stopped living for my self, and only living for my parents.
