I just googled my full name, (yar, at 3:30 AM), and discovered it's not as unique as anyone would think it'd be. Theres quite a few me's out there, same spelling. Different location. Except a couple of them have actual proper engrish names too.

I tend to shorten my name to make it "easier" for people to remember, so they don't feel bad or awkward for pronouncing it wrong, or skipping my name all together because they just can't remember or are too embaressed to say it. It's annoying yenno, to always have to repeat myself 2-3 times. Feel obligated to spell it out so that they can 'get' how to say it properly. and then still get the odd totally off pronounciation! This one lady, super nice, pronounces my name the way one would say "retard" in Chinese. lol. Yar yar, accidental I think not. But rearry, I don't have the heart to correct her. And anyway, her name means "fat" in Chinese. So it's ok.

My Mom told me long ago, that when I'm a grown up, I can legally change my name  to whatever I want. Those childhood names I've dreamt of having? Ugh, no thanks. I've more or less accepted and am used to my chirese engrish name, I can't imagine answering to another now.

But you know, There are still days I wish my name was Bob. So painstakenly simple.

Maybe one day when I'm all growned up...?

Rabble, rabble, rabble!

VICTORY IS MINE!
I've put it off for so long, but alas I've finally finally updated my iphone to the latest 3.1.2.69.797.68.68668.68 something firmware and have successfully jb'dit.  Fiiiiinally I have horizontal texting, copy and pasting and all other snappy options. This legal state of lazy unresearchingness of firmware updatedness only lasted a week, and with some heavy forum/comment combing today I have collected bits and pieces of instructions that have enabled me to eventually, (after 4 annoyed tries and a very panicy 1st attempt stuckdness on recovery mode), achieve that frodo-esque guy on my screen and have made it raaa1n. No more shall I feel sad and wistful looking through all these cool apps that cost money.

I finished the first book of the Harry Potter series. Its been roughly 7-8 years since I've first read it.. and although I can't remember much, (I confused Dumbledore for Hagrid....yaya tut tut what a disgrace), I still found it surprising I didn't remember the surprise instore for me at the end of the book. Hah ha. I've got the whole series ready in posession to read at anytime this time around, so no more 7 year breaks. I don't like the movies though. ZzzzZzz

 I have a funny picture of a stunningly dashing unibrowed, curly mustached individual sideways on the floor with one arm one leg on the coffee table-- SLEEPING. Funniest sleeping position ever. Aside from a natural hands behind head sleeping pose.
Also for halloween I discovered the magic of Wunderbar. Mm mm mm. Chocolate, hint of peanut butter, caramel, a rice krispee-ish crunch. Now it's up there on the chocolate list with Twix, Kitkats, and Hershey's Cookies N' Creme. OH and mint Aeros.
Other favorites on the candy list is swedish berries, sour jujubes, reese's pieces blah blah blah.

Ry n I watched Dream Work's Monsters VS. Aliens tonight and it was a good watch. I love Insectosaurus! And B.O.B... (Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate) haha vurry fooney. The best of rentals so far. The worst: Adventureland. Kristen Stewart never had acting classes/lessons?! Noo really, with that talent? GTFO.

I had a vague idea of what to blag about but that was pre-flu.

I abhor the fact that it's been sunny both days I've been unwell & confined inside. I can't even conjure the energy for a rain dance.

((((((((yaaaaaaaawn)))))))) sleep nao.

PUBLIC TOILETS

They don't have to be nasty-er than they are.

 To those girls that choose to squat over the toilet, congrats on your squattage skills. But if and should you pee on the toilet seat, have the decency to wipe it after you go, you disgusting filthy pigs. It's called TOILET PAPER. LOTS and LOTS of it so your hands won't have to touch the (eek!) toilet seat, or that PEE sprinklage that just came out of yoself (I know, eww!). Even if the next person is a fellow squatter, who wants to squat over someone else's excrement?
And dammit...the same goes towards the other two that exits the body.

Seriously isn't this something from, I dunno, potty training days? To flush after you go? Which surprisingly, alot of people don't know how to do this. (Btw, theres a black button on automatic toilets to manually flush if they don't automatically do so......). To clean up your own mess? To not be a filthy mongoose? and OMG. To WASH YOUR HANDS after you exit a stall --- whether you went or not. Believe me, other people around you WILL and DO notice.

Cleanliness! Consideration! Simple practice of hygiene! Wtf ladies?
Gaw, and we think guys are gross!

Weekend: Please be over as soon as possible.

Ryann always likes to leave the tv on to the food network. All that plays at night is Unwrapped and they do features on all types of sweets and snacks.  Oh dear.
