My hamster died tonight.  I held him as he passed so that he wouldn't go alone.

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday!  I wish my birthday could have been a bit more fun (e.g. no Deloitte tax competition for freaking six hours), but it was really nice to come home from being locked in a room for hours to a billion AIM, voicemail, and facebook happy birthday messages.  Oh, and thank you to everyone who called at midnight, it was nice hearing from you.  And btw, b/c it was my birthday, I take full responsibility for the fact that USC beat Notre Dame right when I started watching.  Yeah, you can thank me for that later.  =)

I guess I'll have to make up for my sorry 21st some other time, right?

Oh man, this is going to be bad.  Can't even really watch the football game.  It's at times like these I wish I wasn't a business/accounting major!

***EDIT! (again!)  Alright, a message has been relayed to me that the girl that has been misspelling her way into our hearts (mY_hEArT_deSirE) has oh-so cleverly blamed me for the Angie hate site.  Well let me say right now, that though I think this whole fiasco is just hilarious, I am not the one to blame/admire.  I have no idea who you people are and I have no intention of ever knowing you. 

Quite honestly, the fact that you are pathetic enough to blame this site on me and my sister, is really quite flattering.  Though I may try my very, very best, I will never be as mean and disingenous as you all are.  And at such a young age!  Congratulations all around! 

I have been merely stating my opinion about a site that my sister just happened to find and I have heard your anger loud and clear.  However, unfortunately for you, this scapegoat does not care in the least (For further clarification, by scapegoat I mean myself.  This note is for mY_hEArT_deSirE because seems to have a hard time understanding simple things). 

I use my xanga about once a month and honestly, if I had ever had the time to make such a site, I wouldn't.  I'm far too busy hating those around me to make a site about a complete stranger.

I know you who blame me are too busy celebrating with high-fives, Kool-Aide, and the trading of Aaron Carter clippings, to realize that you have completely targeted the wrong person.  But like I said before, thank you, thank you, I am flattered nonetheless that you think that I would be so vindictive as to make that site, and would care about whether or not you blamed me.  I love you all!  Cheers!

***EDIT! - If you checked out the site below and have not had enough racist speech to fill your day, check out my comments!  Hearty laughs for all!  Oh, btw, to the authors of such joy-inducing diatribe:  learn how to spell.  I so love reading everything you have to say, but your spelling makes deciphering it unnecessarily complicated.  Spelling is a fundamental skill that even a 13 year-old should have.  Please send more comments my way, I always could use a good laugh!  Cheers!***

This is a site that my sister wrote about in her own xanga, and even though I'm really tired, I just have to write about it now, while the humor is still fresh.

http://www.xanga.com/ANGIES_hATE_sItE_ur_suCh_A_hoE

Yeah, her pictures are funny because she obviously thinks that scrunching up her face is tantamount to being a supermodel, but the real kicker is in the comments left on the site!  HAHAHA PURE GOLD!!!  Some of them are so childish and just plain stupid that you cannot help but sigh and say, "ah, the follies of youth." 

Some of my favorite comments (I've taken the liberty of underlining some of the funnier tidbits): 

"but take it form me cuz im 16 yrs old n i have expierience"  ***By the way, the same girl that said this (carmelkisses1), says in her site that her interests include "Jesus" and "reading Revelations"...but I don't know if I should believe her especially considering her next comment: "bitch! dnt eva disrespect me like that again...i was trin to hepl ya dum ass out ....come c me bitch!i dnt care who the fuck u r ..bitch!..i will fuck ya stupid ass up! get at me bitch1"  ***Oooh, I don't think Jesus will like your tone of voice, missy!

More quotes:

"listen you LITTLE bitch. i swear to god if i ever find out who you are i will break every one of your bones and knock out everyone of your teeth...and by the way, it isn`t illegal for me to hit you either ((even if it was i wouldn`t care)) because i`m only 17"  ***HAHAHAHAHAH!!!  Will someone please do the general public a favor and send her a TV Guide with Court TV programming highlighted?

"that girl/thing is really gross-looking  "

"angie is such a great girl and shes not a fuckin slut! okay maybe she had sex at 12 who gives a fuck!!"  ***Yeah sure I'm sure she's a real prude.

It's reading stuff like this that makes me hug my computer and give thanks that I am not an idiot.

I hate people.

You know I've been having a problem with my neighbors playing loud music for a while. Well this year, the loud guy who lives in 204 moves out and I'm thinking its going to be nice and quiet.  No, I get this new guy who lives in 302 (right above me) and his favorite pastime is apparently playing loud music at 8 am in the morning and 12 pm at night.

On a related "Loretta Hates People" note, last night these people across the street were apparently having some party.  So there is this gaggle of girls talking really loud in the balcony of their apartment.  So loud that I can hear them from my apartment across the street even if my window is closed.  I really hope they were drunk b/c some of the things they were saying were so stupid, that if they were sober, they'd be mistaken for mentally challenged individuals.  For instance, one girl is apparently so enamored by her school she shouts out "UCSD!" in this really low ghetto-wannabe voice every 10 seconds.  Sometime around 11:30 pm, they get the brilliant idea to rename the guys with them to Guy #1, #2, #3, etc and then tells them to fight for the title of "Guy #1."  At around 12 am, they decide to sing a chorus of "Gasolina" followed by giggling and more ghetto-noxious "UCSDs!"  If I didn't have such an awful headache, I might have enjoyed watching stupid girls act really, really, stupid. 

I'm back in LA and I'm excited b/c Tiff lives across the street; Eddie, Jon, and Jorge still live there as well; and Daniel is living across the hall from me.  I'm also sad b/c Julie moved away and is now living in the Medici...she's also going to be in Hong Kong this semester  so I won't be able to see her for a while.

Ladies and gentlemen.  I have found a way to end world hunger as we know it!  I give you MUTANT BANANA!

Looks like a normal banana at certain angles, but give it a turn...

...and you've got a flatter/wider than normal banana.  Take a guess at how wide monsieur banana pancake is...

Did you guess THREE INCHES?  If you did, you'd be wrong.  It's clearly a little less than two and three quarters inches, idiot. 

MMM-MMMMMM!  Ethiopia here I come!!!

Not much happening back home.  Trying to fix up my crumbling home with some fresh paint and scrubbing.  Wished cast of Lost was still here so I could stalk Josh Holloway.  The only good thing was that I got a new laptop.  Behold!

From some news thing on MSN:  "Good news for fans of top-notch dysfunctional-family comedy: The Bluths are coming back. Fox announced on Monday that it has renewed the low-rated but critically beloved "Arrested Development" for a third season. This calls for a celebration -- frozen bananas for everyone!"

YAY!

I AM SO ANGRY!!! 

The people living in the apartment next to mine (City Park 1, apartment 204...feel free to pee on their door) have been playing really loud music almost every night for MONTHS.  Their speakers are right against my wall so not only can I hear the bass, I can feel it.  My bed shakes, my door rattles, and I go insane.  After talking to the landlord previously, she told me to not talk to them/confront them about the noise (which I had been doing), and to stop pounding on the wall (guilty, again).  She said I should try calling the security guard...okay.  I started doing that--alot--lately, and the security guard started getting snippy with me b/c I kept on waking him up from his late night naps (no wonder we have so many bums around city park, damn security guard is sleeping!).  He even hung up on me a couple of times.  So to trick him into doing his job, I've begun varying the tone of my voice so he thinks that it isn't one person calling, but 20 different people (unless he has caller-ID, then I just look stupid).  Yesterday I did both the high-pitched voice (which was even more effective b/c I claimed I lived on a different floor), as well as the best male voice I could do.  Jason also called, and he can attest to my claim that yes, the security guard does not know how to answer his phone. 

I've begun cataloguing my loud neighbors' musical escapades on a post-it note on my desk. 

Saturday 04/03:  11 pm - 12:30 am; ignored security guard twice, turned music up incredibly loud for two songs before stopping.
