Asian Eyes

Today my roommate told me that I had small Asian eyes. Okay, when non-Asians tell me this I laugh because I get that they're poking fun at my ethnicity and the fact that stereotypically Asians have small eyes, but it actually really annoys me when other Asians tell me this. Why? Because I'm not a part of that stereotype. Personally, I always thought that I had average sized eyes, which I admit is helped by the fact that I have double eyelids. Let me point to the chart I have made. At the top are your eyes, below are mine, then my roommate's, then my Korean friend Peter's, then Ni's, and finally Laura's. I must note that the other three Asians in the image do not have double eyelids, but disregarding that fact and only taking note of how much of the iris we can see, we can obviously determine that Peter has in fact the smallest eyes. Now, let's say compare my eyes to yours. To me, they seem the same. I think my eyes only appear bigger here because I think my image is bigger, but it can clearly be seen that the amount of our iris showing is about the same. So can you see my reasoning in getting annoyed at the fact that Staci told me that my eyes are small while hers are just considered extra small? I'd say that hers are small while Peter's might be considered extra small, right? And I'm just talking about eyes. Obviously in comparison to my entire face my eyes seem small and if a person has small eyes but an equally small face, then their eyes appear larger than what they might be. BUT IN CONCLUSION, I HAVE AVERAGE-SIZED EYES.

Anyway. Rant aside. I really want to watch Valentine's Day. Sorry about your Dad though, and I totally agree about whether to like the day or hate it. People might say I'm totally pessimistic about the idea because I'm single and whatnot, but that's not it at all. I just don't see the point in getting chocolate and cards or flowers or whatnot for one stupid occasion. If I were in a relationship, I wouldn't want some dumb chocolate or roses. I would simply want to spend time with my significant other. I'd take a cuddle or a really nice conversation over some hallmark card any day. I would think affection would trump monetary gifts any day and for those people who believe monetary gifts are affection, they seriously need to reconsider their relationship. Also agreed on President's Day, although I like to think we're celebrating the lives of those that actually mattered. You know, like the first...fifteen or twenty. Of course the dumb snow had to ruin your house plans. Well, whenever you guys go, definitely send me pictures. I want to see your future living space possibilities!

HURRAH for Ila! Definitely want to see the dog, and please do tell me about the scumbag. Awww, a little girl would be so cute! Definitely more likely to look like Ila too. Alexis Cheyenne. Well, it's not terrible but I'm not a huge fan. Just PLEASE don't call her Lexi. Lexis tend to be either white trash bitches or ho bitches, or sometimes if you're really unlucky, white trash ho bitches. Alex would be cute though. Where did she get the name from anyway? And my situation with being under appreciated definitely hasn't changed. As I'm writing this I'm trying to force myself not to take out the recycling to see if anyone else is going to do it because it's been overflowing for the past several days. I'm sure by the time I write a response to you next time, I'll have been the one to take it out. Has anyone else made dinner these past two nights? If not, you should just eat something outside one night and see what everyone else does. Maybe they'll notice then.

Tomorrow I have my job interview. It's at this placed call The Container Store. Basically a store selling organizational stuff from twice the price as Bed, Bath & Beyond. Hopefully I get it because this is probably one of the better jobs I could get in the city right now. I'm a little nervous as to how I'll be able to balance work with homework, but I feel like I can do it. Working will probably force me to do my homework on time now. I am indeed feeling a little overwhelmed by the work load right now. I keep telling myself that it'll be worth it in the end but I'm just so tired. You know when you had those days when you lay on the bed and think about how you wish you were rich and never had to work or do anything anymore? Well those days are every day now and it's rather disheartening.

My Uncle called me yesterday wanting to talk. That lasted for about three minutes until I pretended I was busy with friends and he hung up. He's really rather daft if he hasn't realized that I don't want to talk to him. Ever. If I obviously call my Aunt, Tina, and YounWoo, but don't call him, isn't that hint that I don't want to talk to him? I don't even keep his number in my phone anymore. I have no reason to talk to him. Anyway, speaking of YounWoo, the little brat didn't take his ACT like he said he would. My Aunt paid for it and everything but he overslept and his friend never picked him up so he didn't take it. I just don't get what he plans on doing with his life. First it was the army, then it was college, and now I'm pretty sure he'll do nothing but play his computer games. I realize that boys tend to mature slower than girls, but how much longer is he planning on taking? Would I like to help him? Sure, of course. Does he let me? No, of course not. He never picks up my calls and I'm just tired of trying to put in the effort. Did I also mention the fact that he still refuses to call our Mother and Father? Yes, he has mentioned before that he's not exactly a 'phone conversation' kind of guy, but it's his freaking MOTHER. Does he at least even bother calling her for Christmas? Do I need to even answer that? You know, in twenty years when he tells me that he regrets the fact that he didn't spend more time with her, I'm not going to give him any sympathy. He doesn't deserve it.

Wow, this was a really long post and I'm pretty sure I still have more to say, but I'll leave at here for now. Let me know about everything going on with you, okay? I will leave you with this image that I took this morning of some workers drilling right outside our dorm at about 9am. There's also snow coming down if you can't see it. Fun times.
