It's that time of the year again.

When the lonely get lonelier and the sad get sadder. When you watch a couple hold hands down the street and damn the creation of Valentines day.

A empty metal heart I made out of paper clips. I really need to get a life :S

I personally hate Valentines. "I bet you're just saying that cause you don't have anyone right now to celebrate it with". Call me unreasonable, but it IS for that reason that I think Valentines is such a horrible holiday. I mean, why even create a holiday that's only there to make entire single population feel left out or alone.

Fine, if you want a Valentines. But in the defence of the single people, shouldn't there be a "Singles day"? I mean, It would only be fair to make 'em lovers feel left out for once. Once again, so unfair.

Apparently there's a whole history behind valentines day. But to cut to the chase and sparing all of you the need to stare into a pink background attempting to read squiggly little words that are in bright font. Here's the gist of it.

There have been many Saint Valentines/Valentinuses in the past. Apparently they all did something Valiant, (Valentines in greek = Valor). But skipping all that crap about the other dead Valentines. The most important one was a Christian priest named Saint Valentinus that defied the laws of the Romans and continued marrying people incognitto style. He was caught, and sentenced to death. In the late 5th century, Emperor Gelasius declared February 14th a holy day in honor of Valentinus.


It's such a crapped-up holiday. Where you spend a bagillion dollars (Not a real numerical number) on chocolates, candies and roses. When sometimes you don't even know if the person you're giving it to will appreciate it or not. It's so commericialized, sometimes I feel that the whole meaning of the holiday has been lost in the translation.


My poor broken Ipod earphones. They slipped off my desk one night and ended up getting crushed by my chair. Hillarious. Not. I went to the Kansas Union to pick up a new pair, 9.99 USD. Yes, I'm cheap. I'm Asian! give me a break.

I woke up at like 7.30 today attempting to rush-read 4 modules cause I skipped out on studying last night. Instead, I took a detour downtown with Katelynn and co.

"You're so irresponsible Ian!"

Well, thank you for poiting out the obvious. But prior to going downtown, I hung out with some of my Asians, or atleast, by blood asians around McCollum and The Studio



The table design at The Studio. Pretty cool if you ask me.

That reminds me. I haven't really introduced you to some of the people I'm acquainted with nowadays. Here are some of those I find really cool and friend-worthy.

- - - - - Friend File A - - - - -

Specimen 1.1 - The Nigelius Gilbertius. (Nigel Gilbert.) This Indian dumbass is the guy I hang out with the most. It's mostly because he was the first ever REAL friend I made when I came to KU. We do everything together, and we have alot of racial banter. It's a little unhealthy, but ngeh. He makes dumb comments from time to time, but it's always forgiveable. But even though we get into quarrels sometimes, we still remain really close friends. (Well, as close as friends of 2 months can get.)



Specimen 1.42b - The Si-us Yihongus (A.k.a. Yi Hong.) A girl I met not very long ago. Room mate to Undarmaa. She's a China mainland girl with a heavy chinese accent. She tends to get very unreasonable sometimes, but come on, girls are always unreasonable. (*braces for impact.*) Someone *cough* had a crush on her awhile back, I don't really know if that worked out well, but, I guess I'll find out soon.



Specimen 1.214x - The Nikkius Somethingus (Nikki, something!) Ex-Girlfriend of the Nigilius Gilbertius. Don't know her very well, but she's a pretty cool person. I mean, just look at her eyes. Can you do that? :O I sure can't. She was just coincidentally there when I had my camera. She's pretty camera shy.

Specimen X-2 Oscarus Lu-us (Oscar Lu.) An American born Chinese (an A. B. C.). There's actually whole story behind him, but I'm not getting into that. He's a little naive, but a little ian-corruption can change that very much. He's a very nice guy, but he needs to get out more, he can be surreal at times. But when it comes down to it, he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met.


Specimen 21.8434-XXX Tanus Verinaus (a.k.a. The Awesome.) He's so awesome, when he walks into a room, girls gets orgasms. He's so awesome. The moon blushes when he smiles. He's so awesome, he pwnz you. Moo.

Specimen 2.1b Renee (no scientific name.) This unknown species walked out from man's primordial ooze billions of years ago and still unable to be identified, or categorize into any known genus or species. Only known as a female sex of her type, alot of questions remains about Renee. All I know is, she works at the dining hall sometimes and is a pretty cool person. :P

Specimens 1.9 and 1.91 The Xia and the Nik. (No scientific name.) - Similar to Renee, they remain unidentified. They're part of the "group" (see pg. 2414 - The anatomy of the ian.). Basically, thier the ones I hang out with from time to time. Nik is an american born Indian and Xia is an american born Chinese. If you can't indentify who's who. You are phail.

A result of overly lengthy Genitalia.

Anyway, we stuck around a little while at McCollum. Eventually, I left them at the Studio cause of my utter boredom. Headed back as Katelynn Invited me out to Hookah that night.



Hookah is Shisha for those of you who're Un-americanly educated.

- - - - - Friend File B - - - - -

Specimen 2.8b Katelinus Poorus (Katelynn Poore. ) One of the friendliest and funnest people I've met up to date. We've been texting unstoppably lately as we have become pretty tight. She's seriously a person you'd want to know, kind, good hearted, deep-cleavaged. I haven't know her for very long, but I would like to, very much.



Specimen 3.2x Hanboooooooooh (Yu Han Bo.) An American cultured Chinese from China. He is so funny sometimes, he reminds me a little bit of Paul ( A friend back in Malaysia.) The funniest thing happened thursday night at the hookah bar. He was convinced to come along to the Hookah bar and he decided to do work there. But when he got there, he realized, that the most important part of his work, he left at home. Very smart. ( That was sarcasm.) But that aside, he's an extremely nice person. Some people say I look like, or remind people of him.

Specimens 4.1 and 4.2 (4.2 is one the right.) 4.1 - Benjaminus Goeringus and 4.2 Alius (Benjamin Goering and Ali.) Basically, everyone in Americas' all round nice. They're helpful, they're polite. Ben is above that average. I met Ben awhile back at a frat party. Ben lives on my floor in my dorm. The weird thing was, I didn't know he lived on the same floor until I saw it on his Facebook. It was weird I didn't run into him at all whilst I was at templin. His girlfriend, Gaby is too one of the very nice people that I met at the frat party, and discovered lived on our floor. Ben's a really nice guy to be friends with.

Ali works at the Hookah House. He's from Saudi Arabia, the last I heard. He's always very welcoming as we step into the Hookah bar, he plays the drums as the night plays on, it creates a very arabic ambiance to the Hookah House. He's also in my Psych 104 class.

They are both, very cool people.

Well, after heading the the hookah bar. Hani, another worker and a really cool guy at the Hookah bar invited KP (Katelynn) to Neon, this club behind mass street. I asked if I could come along. So, after the Hookah house, me, ben and KP walked over to Neon for some dancing and drinks.

If you're 21 and below, you get a cross in marker on your hand saying "No drinks for you!" My hand looks very fat in this picture. Sadly. :( *thinks about removing*)

The Bottleneck/Neon

Neon was fun. I didn't dance alot, but it was enough to get the blood pumping. I guess it was cause of the lack of alcohol before dancing. Ben played the role of the gentleman as he volunteered to stay back and watch our coats and sweaters. I definately liked it more than The Axis. The whole layout is different, but very nice to be in.

The clubs here are pretty strict on alcohol, sadly. Clubs here close at 2. It was 2.10 as me, ben and KP sat next to a window, all of a sudden, the bouncer came along and told us it was time for us to go. There was like, half a cup of rum and coke left in Ben's cup. I was like "can I finish that", and he said "no, it's already 2 and you're sitting next to the window."

It wouldn't have taken me an hour to finish half a glass of rum and coke.

I got back home that night, a little bit nauseous. I went to sleep at 5, and woke up the next morning at 7.30. Rushing to study for my psych test. Which I clearly didn't need. But a little more information never hurt anybody.



Happy Valentines, everybody.


Ian - Valentines? NOOOOOOOOOO.
