Ranting???

So I begin the blog.

I guess you could say I’m not use to this. I always find the need to be extremely witty to make this worth while, but then again that just makes me waste all the more time. And time my friends, is definitely something I don’t have the luxury of having lots of.

Never mind that, I’m writing now, mostly for my enjoyment and at the request of an AWESOME friend. Actually, rarely speak my mind in front of people, I think it would frighten a lot of people away. But I guess writing it wouldn’t be too bad, just don’t me too seriously if I say something compeletey outrageous. I’m hoping the fact that its written will give people to time to absorb and react… hmm…now I’m just saying nothing.. again.

Whatever. Today was great! I went to the Asian Art Museum in San Fransisco, and thankfully my friends and I were able to go together (oh, it was for a class assignment). We started the day super early and met at the BART around 9:30am (Just a side note: we’re all architecture students, which means we rarely go to sleep before 2 or 3 am and every hour we rest is HEAVEN! ) Of course everyone was a bit late, but that was okay, our spirits were surprisingly high for meeting on a weekend the same time we have class on the weekdays. I always appreciate outings with friends–I mean I do have friends, but few close ones, and only a couple I feel I’m pretty honest with–so today was exciting just because I got to know people better, and on top of that I met someone new.

Funny side story: this “new person” is someone I felt I kind of knew just because everyone else knew him as the “hot freshman,” but he didn’t have an actual name and personality until today.

Moving on. I guess we were all pretty excited to be seeing each other outside of school, and more specifically studio, because we were all hyped up and social. I’m sure that people in a bad mood would have wanted to shoot us all for our display of happiness– I know I’ve felt that way loads of times (”People souldn’t be so happy when life is this horrible. I’m angry so you should be too!” I know it makes no sense.) The point is, I was having fun. Its probabSince we’re arch. majors we’re all pretty quirky–i take pride in that–so I think our personalities have a good mix:

there’s the asshole who takes every opportunity to say something mean, which usually doen’t apply to anything we’re saying anyways, but I find hilarious

the always hyper giggly girl who finds something funny in everything we see, do , say (she’s optimism in a group of pessimistic people)

the new couple–they always give us something to talk about

the sweet realistic one who brings attention to every weird thing that we do when we’re together

and the “hot freshman” well he’s a funny guy, who apparently gets stocked in art museums by really nervous old men (I’m not kidding!)

and me.. not sure what I bring to the table, I can’t really judge myself, but I guess … my random comments and ability to relate to all my Asian friends, and sometimes out-Asian them! mwahahaha!

All in all, there really isn’t ever a time when our weird/akwardness stops. I guess today the best example would be the following: We all know each other relatively well, I mean we’re in studio all the time, but even so we decided to start our tour in a pretty conventional way…for strangers. Yeah, we all introduced ourselves; we covered the basic four questions: name, grade, majors/minors, and where you come from. Now remember that we were a group of 8, so we continued this for about five minutes; really, I don’t know how we decided to do this, but we all circled up and introduced ourselves like it was the first day of class two years ago! Just to add on to the awkwardness of the day the exhibit we went to see was called “Dreams and Desires”, you can imagine… lots of graphic paintings on scrolls(but I do have to cut myself off and say that the colors and artistic mastery were incredible! Yay Japanese artists!). Other than that, we took lots of interesting photos together, most of them show our reactions to some of the art work/ carvings/ sculptures/etc. Once I get it from the multiple cameras that came along with us today I’ll share.

Mkay, I think its time to install Adobe CS3 collection! I’m so excited! I’ve dedicated the last couple days to freeing up at least 18 gigs of hard drive to get it all on my laptop. It was a painful processes of deleting movies, music, pictures, and computer programs, but i keep thinking that it will all be worth it! Oh yeah, I just finished installing AutoCAD 2007 too; I know I’m so computer savvy!

so I’ll leave you with that.
