i don't really think that things happen for a reason. i think people want to think that way and use it as a coping mechanism and stuff but i think life is pretty...uncontrollable. and definitely how things work in life is incomprehensible.

i don't really like the thought that i could have gone to any university and eventually met people i love as much as my dinos, but maybe. i think if i went somewhere else i would have been shaped in a completely different way. but i didn't really go to butler for any reason. i didn't even want to go.

i don't think big, catastrophic bad things like almost dying in a motorcycle accident happen so things like your family driving more carefully can occur. i mean, that is a byproduct but not reason enough in my mind for the accident to occur in the first place.

i think there are a million different paths our lives can take and all the decisions we make, big and small, determine which way our life goes. i could have made the decision to go to another college, but i would be a different person and my life would be on another path.

this was all more eloquent in my head.

dinos!!!!

just like pledgie said on twitter, i also miss my core. its great having 2 of them here, but its not the same without everyone being together! i miss the other half of the core!!!! boosh:-(

So...

No one ever responded with their thoughts on things happening for a reason. Im just curious about what you guys think.

FUCKING CAT!

The cat just climbed up my face...

you may be asking yourself: "wait El Bin how does a cat climb up a persons face"?

The answer: With its claws. 

Don't worry ice made the bleeding stop and the swelling go down a little. 

Oh and for future reference I would have to say the worst place to have cuts on your face would have to be on your lips.

mocha battled with a full grown cow. mocha lost, but i still love her.

Awesome ..

My flat mates spent the last week planning and drinking lots of tea so that they could hide the tea bags all over my room while I was gone. My favorite so far has to be the smiley face of tea bags I found when I pulled back my duvet.... or maybe the one tacked to the ceiling so I cant reach it.

did you know that all of china is in one time zone? time zones are so weird. necessary, but poorly laid out, or so it seems. i guess it is up to individual states/countries and there is no international time zone authority, but it doesn't make sense that you can drive north in india to nepal and go back in time.

the other day this guy came through the drive-thru at work and i couldn't give him the information he wanted and he was pissed and he said "thanks for nothing" and drove away. i had his twenty bucks and his medication. whoooops. he had fingerless leather driving gloves. these are not terribly uncommon in my experience of giving people drugs directly to their car.

i haven't listened to music much at all since i've been home, it's very weird. i just haven't felt like it. not that i am opposed to it, i just never put it on. but...i have never been that person! so weird.

today i went with my parents out to look at cars, because they are probably going to buy one, but not for me. i don't want a car of my very own to pay insurance on and maintain. anyway, it's weird that since i was there the car sales people would always ask if they were buying a car for me. ha. can't a girl just go out with her parents?? at one dealership, i said no, and the salesman asked me what kind of car i drove. i said a bike. he did not understand this. my dad thought he was an asshole. then we went out to dinner. then we went to other car dealerships after they were closed. this is better because you don't have to talk to anyone, but you can see what cars they have on the lot. crafty, no?

my grandpa's calf got stolen. who steals a cow? he was really upset. this whole calf debacle prompted me to wonder how my grandpa got his cows pregnant, because he hasn't had any bulls in a long time. turns out they sell cow sperm and he injects it into his cows when he wants more cows. he drove to vermont to go get another calf and it's handfed. i haven't met this new calf yet, but i am pumped. i'm going to take mocha to meet him soon.

i wonder...

i wonder if i'm still one of the favorite blogs of the 'what would sarah ida do' blog. haha.
What are your thoughts on "things happen for a reason"?

38th street.

i feel really out of place when i roll up to the 38th st rally's drive thru with cracka music on.

quote of the day

i first heard it on SNL...it is from a judge judy skit...cheri o'teri is one of the greatest snl cast members ever

"DON'T PEE ON MY LEG AND TELL ME IT'S RAINING!"

also, this is the title of one of judge judy's real books. haha.

i just think that this is such a great quote, and it should be integrated into society and be just as popular as twitter.
At work I had to fill out this form. One section was to fill out your ethnicity. The only choices were "Hispanic/Latino" or "Not Hispanic/Latino." Is this normal?

sometimes, i wonder what a swanger is. sometimes i think a swanger is a swinger, but then i realize it is spelled differently.

i think that everyone should try really hard to fall in love with someone of a different race and then someday the world will be all the same race. but people will still try to have races cause...people are weird. but more people have inter-racial marriages now than before, so eventually there will be only one race if we keep on going this way. but it will take a long time. i wish i could travel in time to that time just to see what it is like.
sometimes when i type in naptown swangers, i think about being a swanger.
