• …my two cents…

  Everyone’s giving their two cents about the election, I think I’ll do the same…

  I have lost all faith in America. I simply cannot believe that despite four years of despotic rule by a moron, people STILL voted to re-elect him into what is supposed to be the highest and most powerful office in our country! WTF?! People jumped down Clinton’s throat for simply being a man, and what do they do with a murderer like Bush? Serve him the most powerful country of lemmings in the world, and on a GOLD PLATTER at that! I don’t understand, I honestly don’t understand how anyone with any common sense could possibly support this man. All those religious relics who supported this man had better hope that all their praying will pay off in the end because they sure will need it. This country’s going to hell. I actually do hope that Bush fucks up this country some more though, mainly because I want every single person who voted for him to pay for it tenfold. We all had a responsibility to our fellow human beings during this past election, and most of America failed, and they did so miserably! A Republican House, a Republican Senate, and now a Republican Executive again; hope is clearly lost…

  I’m physically sick. I think it’s because of Bush, my body is convulsing from the disgust I have for this man and his people, but I’ll digress though. So yeah, I’m really sick. The past couple of days have been really bad. I was really fatigued, and I had this really hacking cough that just would not go away despite dousing myself with cold and cough medicine. I had to call in sick this weekend because I just couldn’t handle going to work in the condition that I was in. Calling in sick is still a relatively new concept for me because even if I am sick, I’ll still try to work because each day that I miss is basically a hundred dollars down the drain–not good considering I won’t be able to work for a whole semester once I get to Hong Kong. Basically, I need to make as much money as I can now so I won’t have to worry about it when I get to Hong Kong…

  Speaking of which, I’m less than 2 months away from leaving for Hong Kong. I’m a bit excited, but at the same time a bit scared because there’s still a lot of stuff that’s still up in the air. I still have to find someone to sublet my room while I’m gone for the semester, I need to figure out what I’m going to do with all my crap, I need to STOP shopping, I need to figure out my goodbyes, etc. I also have to buy my plane ticket still, but goodness, it’s so damn expensive, ugh! So much to do, so little time…

  So I was down in SoCal last weekend for a queer Pinay conference down at UCLA. It was cool. I had a total blast while I was down there. I felt as though I was back in middle school and high school all over again being around so many filipinos, hehe. It was refreshing though, and it was totally a bonding experience. We got down there Friday night, then caravanned to GAMeBoi for a night of dirty dancing and drinking. There were only a handful of us that were over 21 though, so we pre-partied and that definitely got everyone in the mood to club. I didn’t really see anyone cute there that night, but it was fun nonetheless, mainly because we went in such a big group that we pretty much took over the dance floor wherever we went. In other words, it was good times. Trixie brought her camera, so we totally took lots of pictures and I’m so glad she did because I’m definitely going to treasure all memories we had down there. I love road trips! Anyhow, so that was Friday night. We attended the conference all day on Saturday, and then decided to go grab some food at Universal City Walk afterwards. It was cool to hang out there, but we were all dressed for SoCal weather, so we were totally freezing our asses off and decided to cut things short and go back to the hotel. We were all kind of tired at that point and decided that we just wanted to spend the evening in doing something that wasn’t too strenuous, so we had an orgy…

  …just kidding, hehe. We didn’t have an orgy, but it was something almost as scandalous though. Glenn convinced us all to play strip poker, and that was a nerve-wracking experience. Anyhow, I wound up losing first, but we weren’t going to stop until everyone had gotten naked, and everyone eventually did. Of course then Glenn had the bright idea for all of us to go skinny dipping in the pool since we were all naked anyways. It took some convincing, but we all eventually went and that water was cold! Perhaps I’d have stayed in there a little longer had it been heated, but I was too nervous and all, so I just jumped in, swam around a little bit, then got back out. That experience will definitely be filed away as one of the most outrageous things I’ve ever done in my life, hehe. I’m glad I did it though, when else would I ever get to be so out of character?!

  We drove back Sunday morning after we stopped by and got some breakfast at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffle in Hollywood. That was some good eats! We made good time getting back up here and that left me some time to rest before heading out to the Castro for Halloween…

  We got a big group together to go to the Castro for Halloween this year and I totally had a blast despite being one of only a couple other people in our group who decided to get dressed up. I went as a bumblebee this year, and it was pretty fun. I had some issues with so many random people pulling on my stinger, but all in all, I had a good time. It was definitely too crowded, but I guess it wouldn’t really be Halloween in the Castro if it weren’t crowded. I got to see a lot of my friends while I was there, so that was nice. I’m not sure if I’ll dress up next year, but if I come across an outfit that would totally be cute, I don’t think I’d be opposed to dressing up again. More people will have to dress up with me though, I hate being the only one who dresses up because I just feel so out of place. Ah well…

  Ok, I’m supposed to be studying right now, but I just don’t feel like it, argh! I even came to the library so I could avoid the distractions of being at home, but I just can’t seem to focus. I should force myself to do my readings though, it’s crunch time now…
