First Date & Meet the Parents Posted at 10:10 AM So, Friday night, I had to go home because my dad wanted to find out what problems my car was having and get the oil changed. Now once I drop the car off, I would be stranded at home until whenever my parents find the leisure time. Matt, being the sweetie that he is, was going to drive me back to school, once I drop the car off. Which meant he was going to have to meet my parents. My parents are scary people. They always seem to find some fault with me, what I'm wearing, how I look, how I act, what I eat, etc etc. They're always quick to find fault with my friends, and quick to pick them apart (after they've left). So for Matt to be the second boy I've ever taken home to meet my mom and dad, this was a big deal! Originally, my mother was going to go all out and make a large dinner and an even larger fuss. But since I called and told them I was coming back on short notice, my dad decided to take us out for dinner. I totally hadn't anticipated this in my plans so it threw me completely off track which was making me really nervous. However, somehow or other, Matt managed to razzle 'n dazzle them. My father absolutely loved him. He (my father) wouldn't shut up! Even my mom noted, Then Saturday evening, after much blood, sweat, and tears, darling Matt was nice enough to get all dressed up for me to go to Cheesecake Factory for our Long-Put-Off-Postponed-and-Procrastinated-Hot-Date. Now I hate to sound like some love-struck school girl just gushing over a new crush, but darling Matt in a suit is hot stuff. I just about died when I walked outside and saw him cutely sulking quiety in that tie and collar! <3 |
Highlights of the Week Posted at 06:34 PM Hobo: I will take any food: Chinese, French, Italian, Jewish, Irish, Trinidadian, Mexican...My stomach is like the UN Building. It's international. "The world sucks... that's why we're still on it!" Tip about GT Parking #138: Don't ever put 5 parking tickets in your windshield wiper thinking parking will feel sorry for you and not ticket you. They'll just give you another ticket.. and boot you! Me: Nani was a trampy little bitch. GreenBuild! Lynn: Cindy, this is why I can't study with you... I go over and I end up laughing my ass off for hours and hours and don't actually get any work done! (we pulled an all nighter that night) I stayed up to work on a collage of Mies Van Der Rohe in visual arts class. Prof. Sledge hated it, boo. :( Ants have moved into my room due to muffin crumbs. They love cleaning out the crumbs that've fallen into my keyboard in those little spaces between the keys and such. Since I live in the second floor of the dorms, they came in through the electrical outlet! I see them moving my crumbs back and forth wondering how on earth they're not getting electrocuted and burning their little bits of bluberry muffin. So I've since duct taped the outlet. Crazy ants! Matt: You are the best girlfriend ever! |
Happy Holidays! Posted at 11:47 AM I got disowned and forbidden to come home for Thanksgiving!!! (I also already have 2 offers to join others for Thanksgiving, anyone else want to adopt Cindy into their family for a day of giving? :) ) |
Sorrow Posted at 10:35 PM I just buried my face into my pillow and cried. No one was around to hear me so it was okay. Big girls don't cry. Words are only words but when thoughtlessly thrown, they hurt. A whole lot. I'm not going back home for thanksgiving unless my mother comes begging for me to come back. It's only her loss in the end anyway. Had I been in a more reckless mindset, I probably would have gladly jumped at my first offer of joining someone else's family for Thanksgiving. But I didn't. Bound by reason and this thing we term "maturity", if I were to forsake my family and not join them in Thanksgiving dinner while all their dinner guests showed up asking the whereabouts of their eldest daughter, it would have truly been an unforgivable act. And knowing my mother and her temper, she would secretly be sorry she had ever left me such a message on my voicemail after things have cooled down. Because if they don't call, I guess I'll be having canned soup and frozen pizza for Thanksgiving Dinner. |
Just Me. Posted at 06:45 PM I am twenty years young. I am a second year architecture major but third year student at Georgia Tech. I have lived in China, Florida, California, and Georgia. I went to two different pre-schools, four different elementary schools, three different middle schools, and one high school. Twenty-Five things: I put too much sugar in my coffee.

Three Wishes Posted at 05:31 PM If I had three wishes, and no wishing for more wishes, I would wish for these three things: 1. Everyone in the world to be slightly happier 2. A pair of lucky socks, to wear on big event days so I could be lucky :) 3. A kitten that stays a kitten forever and indestructable (immortal!) What would you wish for? |
