I try to be a nice person. But today I had to do it. I feel a little crummy because I had to "block" someone. Not only is that mean, but I've blocked this person before on a different chat system. That's right. I've only blocked someone twice in my life before... both times it has been the same person.

Makes me feel a little bad, but at the same time peaceful... knowing that person won't be bothering me unless he decides to flood me with e-mails. Here's hoping that won't happen.

I do appreciate living at home and eating mom-cooked meals. But it comes with its price. When you think about it, it's quite amusing. When else do you have ridiculous arguments like I had this morning?

My mom saved some pork she made the night before so that I could take it for lunch today. I was too lazy to pack a salad and thought, some "juhn" (jji jim for us Busan folks) has green stuff in it, good enough. Plus, I'm taking an apple. But no, my mom insisted I take a salad. Then she proceeds to take out salad dressing, and says, "Actually, if you're going to eat pork, you should eat your salad with 'cho-jang.'" She came out of the kitchen carrying big lettuce leaves and a bottle of 'cho-jang.'

I'm not opposed to taking Korean food to work, but I am opposed to taking Korean food that stinks. (She's even offered to pack me mee yok gook for lunch before). So I said fine to the salad (no to the lettuce wraps), but stood there BEGGING her to let me take some regular salad dressing. She won in the end... I had cho-jang with my salad. As I left the house, she yells out, "Be careful because there's a lot of garlic in it." Great.

Kind of reminds me of middle school when I first started taking sack lunches. My brother and I used to beg my mom for "regular" lunches like peanut butter and jelly. I think we ate that for a few weeks straight after that.

Today marks my 2 year anniversary as a working professional at this Company. It's crazy how time flies... I've also realized that I'm at a point where I connect more with young adults rather than college students. The change was so gradual I can't even pinpoint when it happened. Probably sometime this past year. There was a point in time where I still longed to be in college, and I thought young adult-hood was so foreign. But now I'm one of them. I've learned to adjust to the fact that most of my friends live far away, and I'm still learning to make new friends. Life is what it is, and I'm learning to deal with it and make my situation enjoyable. And it has.

Congratulations to my dear, dear friend. I love you and you deserve all the happiness in the world. :)

Highlights from Hallelujah Night:

-Club Jesus in Room 3, complete with strobe lights and a fog machine.
-Watching Tommy and Ahan break it down at Club Jesus...battle style.
-cuuuuuuuuuuute kids.
-foraging for candy.
-crushing on a college boy with Sarah.
-fun and creative games.
-listening to an earful of unsolicited dating advice from Frank, Eric, and Henry at In-n-Out.
-coming home and seeing a sign posted on the door: "No Halloeen for Christ." Talk about cryptic. Someone wrote in a "w" for Halloween and put a question mark after Christ. I guess they were just as confused as I was. My mom is cute. haha.

Pictures to come...

I saw a man dressed up as a woman today.

I began to wonder... is he dressed that way because it's Halloween? Or is that just the way he normally dresses?

Only in San Francisco do you wonder about these things...

I dropped my cousin off at Berkeley last night and on my way back, the car in front of me paid for my bridge toll. How very nice! I didn't do anything to deserve it... the car didn't cut me off. There wasn't any traffic that I was nice enough to let the car slide in.

I tried to catch up, just to catch a glimpse, but the car was going too fast.

Made my night a whole lot better. :)
