Internet activities for the self-involved:
Stock Photography RepreZENT! 1) Go to a stock photography search engine. For this example I used Getty Images. 2) Search your personal descriptive keywords. I picked "asian lesbian young adult." 3) Ponder the resulting photos as though they were stills from your life.  This was my favorite resulting image -- listed under "asian lesbian young adult" as though implying that every time two women are called into close proximity by chance or deliberation there is a pause during which they are both flush with the possibility of a foray into the rainbow-shrouded world of homosexuality -- it is a shared moment, acknowledged with equal amounts of anxiety and anticipation as their eyes lock for a prolonged second. They turn away and the memory is stored, for access at later dates. Or, you know, whatever. Google-bation 1) Go to Google.com. 2) Type yourself in. 3) Revel in your multiplicity. My search came up with "Manila Golf rules Federation League - Oct. 28, 2002" which I guess is bound to happen since I'm Filipino. Ay. 16dec03/tuesday/9:17pm Cheezus. Superfast update: I was a Cubs fan for a week. Someone was impatient about getting her coffee, and it somehow resulted in my getting a second degree burn. Erin and I climbed another building. Rose moved, and she's in something like three bands now. School started. I'm behind. And it's getting colder everyday. I've been daydreaming lately about what I'll do when I get back home, and I'm beginning to get more comfortable with the idea. I think I'm ready to see my family again. The only thing I'm having problems with is figuring out what I'm going to do while I'm there. Get a job, save up, and travel is what I'm thinking about so far. What's home? 24oct03/friday/8:15pm Say hello to the official end of summer. Chicago is right on time as it is already getting cold. It's almost like Chicago set its watch five weeks ahead just to make sure it wouldn't be late. We're moving again. Don't really know where yet, but I'm not looking forward to packing my life into little boxes, loading it into various vehicles, unloading it and unpacking it for the third time since I've been here. The summer has been sort of stagnant for me. Not many new adventures, places or people. Although, maybe I'm just getting older. I think that's it because, really, I've done kind of a lot this summer. So, maybe it's just tonight. Whatever the reason, I've been thinking about how much everything just keeps going and going. Rose has gone to California for a bit. Katie has moved out of our apartment and into a new one. Kate and Ted are moving to Davis in less than a week. Lisa is setting up a performance piece for this upcoming art show. Erin had a birthday party at the beach. Ivan is working on a graphic novel. I'll most likely be on Guam this time next year. All these people and places drifting in and out of sight. I sort of feel like I'm stuck sitting in the same theater watching it all happen. Maybe that's it. I feel like I'm just watching different movies. Not interacting. Maybe I should have left the house today. Ha. 03sep03/wednesday/10:14pm ::MORE:: HOM : IMG : LNX : GBK : BIO |
