    <content type="html">Does anyone know more about charities that will help cancer patients pay for their hospital bills? I know they exist, I'm just having a hard time finding them. My brother is doing not so well monetarily after his surgery because his insurance wouldn't cover it all and his work isn't giving him paid time off for his recovery.</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;center&gt;I really wanted to make saffron couscous but saffron is expensive as fuck (about $17/gram at the store). Therefore I made it with curry instead and I liked the results ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;Meal: Curry Couscous with Shrimp&lt;br /&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Couscous&lt;br /&gt;-Chicken broth/stock&lt;br /&gt;-Curry powder&lt;br /&gt;-Shrimp&lt;br /&gt;-Butter&lt;br /&gt;-Cilantro (or whatever herbs you want)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo-6.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 1: Start by boiling your stock/broth. Since I used an already salted broth, I didn't add anymore seasonings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo2-4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realize you can't even see the broth in this picture but whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 2: Once the broth starts to boil a bit, add the curry powder. I used about 1 tbsp but you can use however much you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo3-3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 3: Melt a little butter and curry powder into your frying pan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo4-2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 4: throw in your shrimp and toss it around like a cheap hooker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo5-2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 5: Remove your stock/curry from the heat and pour in the couscous (I used 2 cups of liquid to 2 cups of couscous so I could have some leftover).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo6-2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It'll immediately suck up all that liquid like there's no freaking tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo7-2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure you shrimp is fully cooked on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo8-1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 6: Put some couscous in a bowl and mix in some chopped cilantro (I skipped the chopping cilantro step because I already had some in the fridge).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo9-1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 7: Put your shrimp on top and eat this delicious fucking food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo10-1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;center&gt;My parents think that I don't eat any vegetables ever because I hardly ever eat them when they prepare them for dinner. There are plenty of vegetables that I like, I just hate the way my parents cook them (usually consists of plain steaming or pan frying/over cooking in a pan with waaaaaaay too much butter/oil). So this is born out of my dad buying a ton of zucchini and me still not eating any of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;Meal: Baked Zucchini Fries&lt;br /&gt;Difficulty Level: Easy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ingredients Needed:&lt;br /&gt;-Zucchini&lt;br /&gt;-Flour&lt;br /&gt;-Eggs&lt;br /&gt;-Breadcrumbs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo-5.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 1: Cut up the zucchinis into fry shapes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo2-3.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used two zucchinis and that was waaaay too much so I have leftovers for snacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo3-2.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 2: Make an assembly line for the breading. Coat the zucchinis in the flour, then eggs, then breadcrumbs. You can use plain breadcrumbs and season them as you like but I had these ~Italian~ style in the cupboard already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo4-1.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 3: Once they're all coated, put them on a cookie sheet like this. Spread them out so they don't stick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo5-1.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 4: Bake at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes or until they outside is crispy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo6-1.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aaaand that's it! They should look nice and browned when you take them out. Dip them in marinara or ranch (gross) or whatever. My family loved them ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo7-1.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;center&gt;For today's meal I made a really simple English breakfast. I've wanted to make this ever since I saw &lt;i&gt;V for Vendetta&lt;/i&gt; and just never made it until now. I'm going to try and make something new everyday, but we'll see how well that works out (&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Meal: &lt;strong&gt;Egg-in-a-Hole and Tea&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Difficulty Level: Super Easy&lt;br /&gt;Ingredients:&lt;br /&gt;-Bread&lt;br /&gt;-Egg&lt;br /&gt;-Butter&lt;br /&gt;-Tea of your choice&lt;br /&gt;-Milk/sugar if you like&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo-4.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 1: Cut a hole in the bread (I made one for my dad, too). I just used a knife so it's less than perfect but you can use a cookie cutter if you have one and make cool shapes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo2-2.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 2: Put butter in the pan. My parents don't buy real butter so this is &amp;quot;buttery spread,&amp;quot; whatever the fuck that means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo3-1.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 3: Toast the bread a little bit in the pan. And by that I mean soak up the butter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo4.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 4: Crack an egg into the hole of the bread. Don't break the yolk and fuck this part up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo5.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 5: Flip it. I almost fucked this up but I didn't, and I suck at cooking. So if I can do it and you can't, then you REALLY suck at cooking and shouldn't even be in the kitchen to begin with. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo6.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't like the yolks to be runny so I let it sit there for a while. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 6: TEA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo7.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Put some hot water in the tea cup (boil it, &lt;s&gt;mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew&lt;/s&gt;, use a kettle, whatever, I get hot water right from our water cooler &amp;hearts;) and put in the tea bag (or if you have loose leaf tea, that works too!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo8.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm using Wonderland Tea that I got from Disneyland! The Official Unbirthday Tea (also authorized for real birthdays)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 7: Put in milk and sugar to your liking. Actually, you should put the sugar in BEFORE the hot water, but since I don't like my tea sweetened I just put in about 1/4th inch of milk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo9.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there you have it! A super easy and yummy and cute breakfast! Now you're ready to put on your V mask and kidnap Natalie Portman all by yourself! ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo10.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</content>

It's uneducated self-entitled twats like her who inspire white girls everywhere to aspire no higher than being a snobby cunt. There is nothing original about her. She is not a fashion icon. She's doing the same shit that TONS of other musicians have been doing since the 80's, but since she ~writes her own music~ she feels entitled to the ranks of a very serious ~*ARTIST*~ the likes of which this world has never seen. Because the world and western culture has definitely been changed significantly with such catchy tunes as:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Just dance, gonna be ok, da da doo doo just dance.&lt;br /&gt;2. Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my, poker face.&lt;br /&gt;3. Let's have some fun, this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as I'm concerned, if you're coming out with the same shitty unoriginal pop tracks as all other pop acts are, it doesn't really matter if you wrote it yourself or not. Shit music is still shit music, no matter who wrote it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And finally, if you're not a feminist or think feminism is all about men-hating lesbians, then you're FUCKING RETARDED. Lady Gaga needs to remove the disco stick shoved up her cunt and open a fucking book.</content>

    <content type="html">I don't update as much as I'd like to but life has been pretty slow for me lately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The past week has sucked though. I got &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; sick starting on Monday and it's only really ceased up now. Fever and body aches, the whole works! And it's summer! WTF! And to top it all off, I severely fucked up my back on Thursday just by sleeping in my crappy old bed. Like, it was so bad that on the first two days I literally could not stand for more than a minute and could hardly work. I was in so much pain that my mom gave me the vicodin she had left over from her almost-surgeries a couple months back. Two of those only worked for about 2 hours (&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;) Anyways, I've been feeling better now, just pretty sore. My parents bought me a brand new bed and mattress set today so hopefully that helps!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really don't like the fact that I got sick in the summer. I know that I caught it from a friend at my brother's party last weekend (he got it too, probably worse than I did, and got prescribed an expensive swine flu medication XD) but still, this is generally the time when I'm the healthiest. The past two years I've been getting sick for long periods of time (refer to old posts, but it's been for 1-2 months at a time in the fall/winter) and I don't like the idea that my immunities are so shot and I'm not yet 20. I've been seriously considering starting the &lt;a href="http://themastercleanse.org/"&gt;Master Cleanse&lt;/a&gt;. Basically, it's a detox diet where you're supposed to drink nothing but a drink mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup, cayene pepper, and water for 10 days along with a salt water flush (figure it out) each night. I've met two people who have done this diet before. One was a girl in one of my classes last year who, on her 5th day, looked like she was ready to keel over at any minute and appeared to be on the verge of tears every second from how hungry she was. The second was my friend Donica who admitted it was difficult but was in nowhere near as bad a shape as the other girl. I tried some of the drink and it's actually not as bad as it sounds, it just tastes like a spiced watered-down lemonade. I know it would be really intense but I want to give it a try. I don't think I'd go all out on the first time so if I do it I'm also going to incorporate soft fruits  into the diet. I've never done anything like a liquid diet before so I don't think it's something I can jump right in to on the first try. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So have any of you ever done this diet before or tried a detox like it? Have you read some obscure medical journal that says all people who try this diet mysteriously die within 2 years? Any and all info if welcome while I'm still researching ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In concert news, I have tickets to see The Killers twice this summer in Santa Barbara and San Diego but I think I'm going to skip on their show at the Hollywood Bowl. The tickets are $125 (!!!!!) and the venue is entirely seated so I don't think it's worth it. Howeverrrr, Franz Ferdinand just announced a gig at the Hollywood Palladium in August and I'll most definitely be grabbing tickets to that on Friday! &amp;hearts;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been listening to a lot of The Smiths and Silversun Pickups recently. It's really good to see that SP has achieved a lot. &lt;i&gt;Carnavas&lt;/i&gt; was a great album that took a while to get noticed and I'm just as impressed with &lt;i&gt;Swoon&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I leave you with a shirtless Morrissey:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;lj-embed id="68" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My biggest regret in life is that I was not born in London in the 1960's so I could have spent my teens and twenties as a British punk in the 70's and 80's. &lt;font size="1"&gt;&lt;s&gt;I actually get quite depressed when I think enough about how I'll never be able to experience that (&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;)&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Good god, where had my mind been? I hardly know myself. I'm trying to get myself settled in here but it's been difficult trying to get myself to adjust to living back at home. I still can't get over the fact that this all feels so temporary. Even unpacking is such a chore, when both times I've moved into my dorm I've always had all my unpacking done by no later than the day after. Here it is now almost two weeks later and I've only yet finished my closet as I'm dodging the slew of hastily opened boxes shoved into a corner of this room that is far bigger than I'm used to. I feel lonely and restless here, and it's all I'm compelled to do to get out of the house as much as possible. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if I have nowhere to go, just driving around is something that puts my mind much at ease. I've been driving for almost a year now and I've yet to understand the sentiment of people disliking driving. It's a task, with a start and a finish and an allotted time that it should take you to complete, and within this allotted time you have nothing to do but to think or to listen. And because the task itself is often simple enough that you can finish it without much trouble, it leaves your mind open to think all those things that you don't seem to have enough time to think in the rest of the day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh oh, escapism is looming...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I needed to use the car the other day to deliver job applications so I dropped off my mom at work in this strange part of Poway. Old Poway Village, I think it was called. &amp;quot;Old&amp;quot; my ass. Sure the buildings all had that old design look to them but the whole part of town looks like it couldn't have been more than two years old. Either that or it just went under some serious refurbishment. Hell, the road looked like it had barely been driven on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is the school where my mom works now:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo3.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picture is not so great since I took it in my car, but the school is all bright and new looking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some kitsch little shops on a very well maintained street:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo2-1.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went into a candle shop where the store owner was making these cool centerpieces for a local banquet dinner. I bought a couple votive candles and talked to the nice man about photoshop XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/elflover18/photo1.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really want to get back into the swing of updating.

    <lj:music>Keane - Untitled 1 | Powered by Last.fm</lj:music>
    <content type="html">&lt;b&gt;[May 9th, 2009] Keane (Hollywood Palladium - Hollywood, CA)&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They were just...magical &amp;hearts; &amp;hearts;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  It's kind of hard to believe that it's already been 5 years since I first heard them. I was watching VH1 at about 2:00 in the morning and they were given a quick snippet to talk about their debut album. That's the first time I saw the video for &amp;quot;Somewhere Only We Know.&amp;quot; I don't think any band has hit me so hard so fast, not that I can remember. It wasn't a slow progression of &amp;quot;Oh, I should check them out.&amp;quot; No, it was more like, &amp;quot;I love this band. RIGHT NOW. LOVE.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Of course all my favorite bands hold a special place in my heart, but Keane's place is extra important and extra sacred. They really helped me get through a difficult rough patch when I was younger that no one else could help with. It's kind of hard to explain, but I used to get entirely unwarranted panic attacks that would erupt out of nowhere that caused me a lot of sleeping problems and distress. I couldn't tell anyone because I was too scared to and because I didn't even know what was happening myself. The only thing that helped was me locking myself away in my room and listening to Keane, which &lt;i&gt;always&lt;/i&gt; calmed me down. Ever since then, I've always gotten the same feeling every time I listen them: everything will be ok, because there's always hope.  &lt;lj-embed id="67" /&gt;  This song...I'm not sure I've ever felt it so much as I did that night, and I'm positive I've never understood it as much as I do now.  &lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh simple thing where have you gone? &lt;br /&gt;I'm getting old and I need something to rely on &lt;br /&gt;So tell me when you're gonna let me in &lt;br /&gt;I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you have a minute why don't we go &lt;br /&gt;Talk about it somewhere only we know? &lt;br /&gt;This could be the end of everything &lt;br /&gt;So why don't we go Somewhere only we know?&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; What is Keane for me, really, besides electrical currents sent through metal wires and shapes and pushed out through plastic parts. Live, all of this amplified, except procured through beings of mass powered by atoms and cells and energy. All of this barely exists, and yet it has a soul I can feel so tangibly. And only I can understand this soul in a way no one else is capable of doing. It's just me, and them, all barely existing, truly somewhere only we know.</content>

    <content type="html">'There's a whole bunch of entities waiting on the other side, saying "How wonderful that you're here! You come so rarely! We're so delighted to see you!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They're like jewelled self-dribbling basketballs and there are many of them and they come pounding toward you and they will stop in front of you and vibrate, but then they do a very disconcerting thing, which is they jump into your body and then they jump back out again and the whole thing is going on in a high-speed mode where you're being presented with thousands of details per second and you can't get a hold on [them ...] and these things are saying "Don't give in to astonishment", which is exactly what you want to do. You want to go nuts with how crazy this is, and they say "Don't do that. Pay attention to what we're doing".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What they're doing is making objects with their voices, singing structures into existence. They offer things to you, saying "Look at this! Look at this!" and as your attention goes towards these objects you realise that what you're being shown is impossible. It's not simply intricate, beautiful and hard to manufacture, it's impossible to make these things. The nearest analogy would be the Fabergé eggs, but these things are like the toys that are scattered around the nursery inside a U.F.O., celestial toys, and the toys themselves appear to be somehow alive and can sing other objects into existence, so what's happening is this proliferation of elf gifts, which are moving around singing, and they are saying "Do what we are doing" and they are very insistent, and they say "Do it! Do it! Do it!" and you feel like a bubble inside your body beginning to move up toward your mouth, and when it comes out it isn't sound, it's vision. You discover that you can pump "stuff" out of your mouth by singing, and they're urging you to do this. They say "That's it! That's it! Keep doing it!".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're now at minute 4.5 and you speak in a kind of glossolalia. There is a spontaneous outpouring of syntax unaccompanied by what is normally called "meaning". After a minute or so of this the whole thing begins to collapse in on itself and they begin to physically move away from you. Usually their final shot is that they wave goodbye and say "Deja vu! Deja vu!".'</content>

    <content type="html">I'm a total BxA shipper but I think Angel yelling at Buffy at the end of "Sanctuary" has been his strongest moment thus far. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;This wasn't about you!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sent shivers down my spine, it did.</content>

    <content type="html">Tonight has been rather strange. I got my first customer complaint at work today! =D Here are the reasons for the complaint:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. A couple nights ago the customer came up to me at the hand off bar and asked if she had to wait in line for water. I said, &amp;quot;Yes.&amp;quot; And, umm, that's all. &lt;br /&gt;2. Today she approached the hand off bar again and stood there because she had a question. She didn't actually &lt;em&gt;ask&lt;/em&gt; me the question, nooo she just stood there waiting for &lt;em&gt;me&lt;/em&gt; to ask &lt;em&gt;her&lt;/em&gt; if she needed assistance. Oh, but I looked at her, just didn't acknowledge her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, if there's a line of drinks and it's busy, I'm not going to have a fucking full on conversation with a customer when a simple &amp;quot;Yes&amp;quot; will answer her question entirely. And when you're just standing at the hand off counter not saying ANYTHING AT ALL, I will generally assume that you're waiting for your drink, not that you have a dire question that needs answering. If you have a question, why the fuck would you just stand there and not ask it?! God knows I'm trying to read your mind, but that doesn't mean I actually can!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So apparently she had a good long talk with my manager about how offended and upset she was that I was not fully acknowledging her needs as a customer. My manager talked to me abotu it in the back and it basically went down like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C: *explains situation/complaint*&lt;br /&gt;Me: .......wait...so....what did I do wrong?&lt;br /&gt;C: She was like REALLY MAD. I was like, &amp;quot;Who did this?&amp;quot; and she said &amp;quot;THAT GIRL RIGHT THERE *points to me*&amp;quot; I was like, &amp;quot;....Raquel? Are you sure it was Raquel?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;Me: Ok no but really I don't know what I did wrong.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She basically just said that I need to be more attentive to the customers and if they're standing there I need to ask them if they've been helped already. Because, you know, among the 99% of people there just waiting for their drink, there might be one mute chick in the bunch, and her scratching her nose really means, &amp;quot;PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JFC, someone didn't get hugged enough as a child... =/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, someone was in my room without my knowledge! =D I'm assuming it was one of the RAs checking to make sure my roommate vacated completely, but like they came in and moved the two things I had on the other side over to my side. No, they didn't just set it to the side, they took the stuff (my hairdryer, an envelope, and a roll of toilet paper that Mayo left) and sat it on top of my tokidoki bag that was sitting upright next to my closet. Wtf o.O?! I searched all the info I could find and have yet to find anything that says the RAs can come into your room without previously informing you. I don't have anything to hide, really, but I don't like the idea that they came in here without notifying me. My roommate moved out but I still reside here. They need to ask and NOT COME INTO MY FUCKING ROOM. &lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Updates and such:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) This week is HELL. I had a first draft due today for a German essay, that's due on Wednesday. I have a midterm tomorrow for government, a midterm due on Wednesday for history in the form of a 4-6 page paper, and 5 pages of 10 journal discussions due Thursday for my Human Sexuality class. I think I'm gonna ask for Wednesday off because there's I'll need the time to work on this shit &amp;gt;.&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) I walked into my room last night after having been gone all weekend to find that my roommate has vacated. I believe she moved to a different dorm. That sounds bad, like I scared her away or something &amp;gt;.&amp;lt; She said before that she wanted to live in one of the other dorms and I-House was actually her last pick because she wanted to live with Americans and not other international students. She left  a card and a box of abandonment chocolates on my bed saying thanks and such but no explanation. KAT YOUR ROOM IS CURSED! XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) I just finished registering for Comic-Con but WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK I had to register for all four days separately instead of getting a 4-day pass because those are already sold out. SOLD OUT! WTF IT'S ONLY MARCH THE CON ISN'T UNTIL JULY! Oh well, at least I got my passes so I'm set unlike last year where I had to ninja my way into Saturday. But it was the MOST CLEVER THING EVER. I'm an evil genius &amp;gt;D!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) My parents moved into a new place in Escondido and I have a RM W/ A VU (but no ghosts named Dennis, sadly D:). It has a backyard too so my bunny has room to hop around outside ^^ It's on top of a hill in the older part of Escondido where on my street the houses are nice but the roads are complete shit. Just down the street from is a HUGE 2 or 3 story old Victorian house. IT'S SO PRETTY O.O! I'll have to take picture of it soon ^^ Sooo if anyone needs a place to stay for Comic-Con (or if you just want to come visit ;D) we've got an extra room =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) 15 episodes into season 4 Buffy/season 1 Angel.</content>
