I spent my Saturday afternoon catching up on readings for a couple of my classes (I’m still behind!) with Andy. Then we had a dogsitting job at Van’s.
I swear Andrea and I are the world’s boringest people.
At Van’s, we did even more homework/studying and we watched a History Channel documentary on Atlantis, Penelope, and two [...]
1. Derek Morgan is hands down my favorite character on Criminal Minds.I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Shemar Morgan is a beautiful human being. Even Andrea conceded that he wore stubble well. :P
2. I’m getting nostalgic about music I listened to in high school. Meaning, all the Japanese rock I’m currently missing. [...]
“SNOW DAY! NO CLASSES TOMORROW!”
That was what was being shrieked in the hallways of my dorm (Merion’s reputably “the quiet dorm”, pfft– dorm stereotypes can sometimes be very off) after dinner. I had just finished making hot chocolate and was planning on turning in early because I’m really a senior citizen at heart.
Also, the Snowpocalypse [...]
Things I love: the scent of pomegranate and green tea, people who don’t take life too seriously, crossdressing gender-bending situations, Coke with lemon, random compliments, professors who go the extra mile, having cereal for dinner (Fruity Pebbles!), Asian snack foods, illustrating my notes from class complete with ships and mini-temples, frolicking in the snow while [...]
Do not fall asleep with wet hair.
I now resemble a very grumpy Troll doll.
It’s not even artfully disheveled bedhead, it’s “I am an idiot who takes showers at 2 AM and I don’t own a hairdryer” bedhead.
In my room, right next my floor lamp is my Blue Comfy Chair. As you can probably guess from the name, it’s blue and very very comfy.
So comfy, in fact, that I accidentally nodded off in it for a good hour or so. With blue highlighter in hand.
Good job, self.
After a long hiatus from working out (not including my few measly attempts at running over winter break that could be more accurately described as “jog/walk/run/walk/walk/jog/maybe think-about-running-some-more” while listening to cheesy techno-pop music) I had my first Project Fitness class today and we did lunges, squats, and even more lunges.
My thigh muscles are currently saying [...]
1. I have more classical music than anyone I know (1.27 GB, 202 songs as of now), but I am completely hopeless at the piano. It’s amazing how bad I am after all those lessons… I also cannot sightread even if my life depended on it.Woe.
2. I’ve realized this: I’m learning mainly for my parents [...]
I just spent the last ten minutes reading Naruto spoilers on Wikipedia (“WHAT? _____ died? ______ died too? Kishimoto, why do you hate me?”) because I’m about three years behind (“Sai? Who the hell is Sai?… And what’s up with his obsession with penis sizes?”) and now I’m trying to decide if 4 AM is [...]
So, I know by now that my skin is extremely sensitive. I will randomly get temporary blisters/welts (for no apparent reason, and it kinda freaks me out) and I always have to wear SPF 15 everyday.
I know that my body is sensitive because I have allergies and I’m asthmatic.
And now, I’m beginning to think that [...]
I should probably post something insightful or witty, but I’m too enamored with the picture below:
Hell yes.
I don’t have high expectations at all.
I can be a rather ridiculous person.
And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.
I like too many things, over-analyze things that do not need to be over-analyze, but I’m also a really chill person.
However, I do know that when I get obsessed with something (not in a creepy stalker way but in a “[insert [...]
I really want a Snuggie.
But I refuse to buy one for myself.
… Well, I’m turning 20 in two weeks.
Operation Be Blatantly Obvious About Wanting a Snuggie For Your Birthday initializes… now.
I was cleaning out my HD and stumbled across some original fiction pieces from high school. Not my work, but other students’. I was a judge for an original fiction writing contest for one of the 10th grade English classes because I won the same contest when I was a sophomore.
In any case, I scanned [...]
Hello new haircut. :)
Still needs a week and half or so until it looks the way I want it to.
Spent the two days in NYC with my grandmother and my uncle (my mom’s side, and actually– she’s not my actual grandmother but it’s a very long story and I don’t want to get into it).
I got my hair colored and trimmed at my favorite salon, Beauty & Styling House. James is an incredible sweetheart. [...]
I have too much zombies on the brain.
I just misread a Subway facebook ad as “eat flesh” .
I need to go to bed.
So after re-reading my Zombie Survival Guide and watching Shaun of the Dead, I started thinking about what would happen if there was a zombie outbreak tomorrow… would I survive?
And the answer is “probably not, I’ll be screwed.”
First, I considered my living situation at home.
I live in a two-story house in suburbia, Ithaca surrounded by [...]
So it’s Christmas break and I’ve been catching up with old friends.
I swear I have an sign above my head, visible to everyone but me, that says MAH COUNSELLING QUALIFICATION. LET ME SHOW YOU IT. They tell me their life stories, and their deepest secrets that they’ve never told anyone else ever.
As a result, I [...]

Whenever iTunes shuffle reminds me that T.M. Revolution, Two-Mix, Do As Infinity, Ellegarden, and Asian Kung-Fu Generation made/still make pretty excellent music.
Oh my not-so-secret anime fan past. :P It’s a pity that I’ve outgrown most anime and manga (Sailor Moon being one of the very few exceptions– like, no, seriously– you diss Sailor Moon [...]
Confession No. 24343
I totally teared up while listening to Muse’s cover of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You”.
… It’s a pretty epic song?
What would I do without good literature and good music?
I’ve forgotten how satisfying good literature is.
Good writing makes me so happy. I was telling Johnathan the other day how good writing is a killer turn-on. Hee pretty much “…” for five minutes while I tried to explain. :P
I’ve been devouring words since I’ve gotten home, [...]
One hour before my Anthro exam and I just discovered that the back of my Anthro text has detailed notes and drawings of hominins and premodern humans.
That probably would have been helpful six weeks ago.
Way to go, me.
I’m totally listening to my Life is my Catwalk playlist to motivate myself.
*AFTER CLASS*
STACY: *turns cell phone on, receives text notification sound*
ClASSMATE: … Is that from the Jetsons?
STACY: … Yes.
That said, this is the first time anyone has recognized it.(If anyone’s curious, it’s the Jetsons doorbell.)
I spent five minutes talking about umbrellas with my Chinese professor today. It was… interesting.
And now, because I am severely sleep-deprived, I [...]
I really hope my neighbors don’t murder me in my sleep.
I’ve been playing The White Stripes’ Fell in Love with a Girl and Joss Stones’ cover Fell in Love with a Boy on repeat for the past hour.
1. I woke up this morning at 10:55 AM. The Blue Bus leaves at around 11: 05 AM. I had never gotten dressed so quickly in my life.
2. We watched The Core in Geology lab today. Here’s the thing: I like terrible movies. I like making fun of them. However, I do not like [...]
New discovery: my “SELF, CHILL THE FUCK OUT– YOU GOT THIS” playlist sounds very similar to my “Insomnia, a Harsh Mistress” playlist.
Well, I probably needed that nap anyway.
I have a Pokédex app (in French!) on my iPod Touch.
On a scale of 1-Nerd, what does that make me?

Greatest new timewaster.
Oh dear.
(Also, prepared to be spammed.)
Dear Facebook Lurker(s),
You. Yes, you. I know you just clicked here from my Facebook profile and now I am curious as to who you are and whether you’re a repeat visitor and if we talk regularly.
Also, provided that you’re not a creeper and you don’t think I’m a weirdo– I think we should a) talk [...]
Freshman year and nearly one semester of sophomore year of college under my belt, you’d think I’d figure out my study habits by now.
Example: I’ve only recently figured out the best way for me to memorize Chinese characters- copying characters over and over can only do so much. I try to visualize the characters in [...]
Conclusion: I deal with stress in really weird ways.
Okay, some of them are really average.I blog, listen to music, drink copious amounts of caffeinated drinks, update Facebook, and generally complain to anything and anyone within a 100 km radius of me.
However, I also deal with stress by:
Giving people piggy back rides1.
Giving people massages.
Comforting others.
Handstands/headstands against [...]
So, I now have a new rule: I am not allowed to update Facebook before I’m sufficiently caffeinated. Otherwise, things like this can occur:
Stacy Z. Doing the walk of shame from your ex-roomie’s room to your own room down the hall is awkward. 2 hours ago via Facebook for iPhone
And then, the comments:
Nan: About time! [...]
Stacy’s Lesson of the Day:
DO NOT BUY FOOD WHEN YOU’RE OBVIOUSLY DELUSIONAL AND SICK.
I slept through all four of my alarms today1. I sort of feel like something the cat dragged out. I have flu-ish symptoms (please don’t be swine ! please don’t be swine!) so I’m quarantining myself to my room and praying that [...]

Things I Should Really Stop Doing
Leaving my wristlet with my phone/keys/OneCard in Andrea’s room.
Over-analyzing everything.
Consuming shrimp flavored crackers and consider it to be an adequate lunch substitute.
Procrastinating.
Buying peppermint mochas. They add up.
Wasting time on Facebook.
Things I Ought To Be Doing
Homework.
Work.
I just want to roll over and take a nap before ice skating. Ugh, why do [...]
I can’t stop laughing.
I stopped by Melody’s room where she and a classmate were practicing a skit for French (Superman and Batman having hot chocolate at a cafe! I gave them an A+).
I introduced myself to her friend (since I’ve seen her around, she’s in two of my classes) and she exclaimed: “I know you! [...]
I stumbled upon this on my google docs. Oh man, this brings back such great memories of Ms. Lang’s AP Lit class senior year. (…. Not really.) Anyway, I found it amusing enough to repost. Also, not that anyone cares– I detest coffee unless it’s fake coffee (mochas, frappuccinos, etc.) and would much rather enjoy [...]
Last minute cramming.
I’m looking over my notes in class and felt this overwhelming urge to bang my head against the nearest hard surface.
Let me copy and paste my notes for your viewing pleasure/horror.
Differences between Early Homo and Homo Sapiens
1) we have chins!
2) our bipedality is better than their bipedality
3) we have flaring pelvises!
4) we have [...]
