First time driving an Audi!

Last night, my roommates decided to play some beer pong. After the game, one of them (the only one with a car) was hungry and the other two were going out. He wanted to go to In N Out, but was pretty tipsy. So I offered to drive lol.

He drives an Audi A4 2.0T Quattro (like the one below, but in blue-ish gray)


He said, "Sure why not. I'm kinda tipsy right now anyway. But please don't hit anything."

I told him not to worry because in my 5 years of driving (I got my permit on my mom's birthday at 15.5), I've never hit anything or gotten into an accident. hahah.. that's one of the few things I can brag about!

He handed me the keys and we walked to the car. The led and xenon lights immediately turned on as I unlocked it. We got in, and I didn't know how to start it because it was remote (no actual key... oh cars these days...)

He told me to step on the brake and he pushed the start/stop button, and the car came to life. I adjust the seat and everything, and couldn't help but feel really excited at the prospect of driving my first Audi ever. Guess I'm still a kid at heart heheh.

Pulling out of the parking lot, I was real careful not to go over the speed bumps too quickly. We got on the freeway, and I kinda mashed the gas pedal. Shit, that turbo really does kick in, and I couldn't tell it was only a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder.

We got there, ordered the food, and ate as if it were our last meal. YUMM.

I thought my driving would have regressed, since I haven't driven in over a month, but it was all good. It kinda felt like a REALLY updated version of my 13 year old VW.

The Audi had a nice road feel to it, and the handling is pretty damn good, especially with the quattro 4wd - I went through a yellow light left turn at around 35 haha. Roomie screamed, "OH GOD NEED THE OH SHIT HANDLES" as he gripped the handle things.

Good times. I hope he lets me drive more often .

waiting for class to start (and stalking)

so i'm sitting here waiting for my french lit class to start. and of course i'm on the lookout for that blond (actually it's light brown) hottie, aka my future husband/lover.

oh there he is... strutting in with his tight black tank top and white cargos, skin glistening, muscles rippling through the cloth, a vein in each of his biceps just begging to be traced with my tongue. and such beautiful eyes and smile.

he sits down next to his girlfriend/friend/hag(?) and they immediately start chatting away. "about what?" i wonder. oh my god he is so hot. i'd have his babies.

[HAHAHAH I'M NOT OBSESSEDDD!!} xP

aside from looking forward to seeing the guy every class meeting, who probably doesn't know i exist, i have a calculus midterm tomorrow. feeling better about it than the last one, so it should be ok.

after the midterm, i'm hitching a ride home with a friend. so excited, because halloween where we moved to is insane. there's this one street that always does something and has awesome decorations.

but i also have a shitload of research to do for me writing class. i'm gonna be researching and writing about happiness and food. we're supposed to come up with a proposal and shit. so that's gonna be my weekend, in a nutshell. my parents sound excited to see me lol.

talking about guys again - eye candy in class

i don't know what it is, but lately i can't help but stare at the hot guys in my classes. usually i can focus on class, but here it's like some switch turned off and it's like i've got eye candy ADD now.

in my calc class, there are 4 guys i routinely notice on accident. one asian guy, one black guy, one latino guy, and one white guy.

-the asian one is kinda short and slim, but really cute face and he dresses nice. not sure if he's gay but his name is also david. we're in the same tutorial group, but haven't really talked much.

-the black guy is toned, and very gay (as in eyebrows done, lisps) and we've caugh each other's gazes a few times already. every time he sees me it's like he changes from semi-gay to super-gay. kinda weird. his way of letting me know he swings this way?

-the latino guy has that mysterious appeal to him - 5 oclock shadow in the morning, deep pretty eyes. and he carries a messenger bag and hair all done neatly.

-the white guy usually comes to class late and sites near me on the ground (the lecture has 850+ people). us usually brings a rugby ball with him and wears athletic shorts, which fall up when he sits with his knees up, revealing amazing legs and thighs. and he doesn't care to cover them. which is bad cuz they're so muscular and have a fine layer of hair.

in my french literature class (boring as hell but i love the french lady professor! she is hilarious and soo french), there is this tall, curly haired, athletic, handsome blond. one day he and his girlfriend/friend/fag hag (hopefully) volunteered to read part of a play in class. smooth medium pitched voice, and nice arms. seems funny and down to earth. definitely the type of guy i would date.

also, i've been browsing craigslist personals for a couple weeks now and even posted one (not hookup, but strictly platonic). got a quite a few replies but they're kinda meh. i actually emailed with one and we exchanged pictures but stopped emailing after that. he said he's really into asians "especially cute ones with a nice smile like yours". i don't know how to take a compliment like that so i just run away. but today as i was having lunch with a friend who also happens to be asian and a homo (though more flaming than i), the guy walked by and looked at me for awhile. it was kinda creepy. i told the friend about him and he shuddered. moving down here has made me realize how shallow i can get. i used to think i wasn't, but facing the truth now, it's kinda disappointing. or maybe it's just that the number of good looking people here has turned me that way? who knows.

anyway, craigslist doesn't really seem to offer more than hookups (and don't get me wrong, there are a TON of hotties looking for a quick fuck session). if i were more daring i'd definitely be up on some of that. but since i'm not exactly looking to hookup with a stranger, darn.

any suggestions on how to meet some regular car-loving, sports-playing, rock music-listening guys? i've met plenty of guys in the queer groups on campus, but they're not my cuppa tea. most of them are flamers, which is fine btw, just not into those guys.

i would like to meet someone at the market, like if we both grab the same item at the same time and our hands touch; or in a park where our dogs wander over to each other and start playing; or in a park in paris where we're sitting on the same bench and he notices a book i'm reading.

something cheesy like that.

sigh, back to simultaneous hw and craigslist browsing, but i don't think he'll be there.

my dream guy

i just realized i've never really thought about what type my dream guy is. and since today was really unproductive, i might as well spend time blogging when i should be starting my essay due tuesday. here goes...

---these are all preferences of course--- a guy with a combination of these would be great. i'm just making this list to see for myself what i'm looking for. i may be idealistic, but i'm also realistic, if that makes sense...

-good looking, not necessarily model like, but a nice smile, good skin, and pretty eyes are a good start
-preferably my height (5'10") or taller (but not by more than 3 inches)
-in shape
-ethnicity doesn't really matter, but asian, white, or black (or a mix is even better)
-20 to 24 years old (for now)
-passionate, sensitive
-considerate
-funny
-down to earth, easy-going
-hardworking
-calm
-adventurous
-forgiving
-intelligent, street smart
-handy
-strong
-cooks well
-sings and/or dances
-plays an instrument
-likes "manly things" like cars, sports, action movies, and power tools
-likes "girly things" like fashion, shopping, and chick flicks
-takes care of himself mentally and physically
-thinks appearance is important and makes an effort to look good
-open-minded
-loving
-humble
-honest
-stable (mentally and financially)
-logical
-fun
-romantic
-flexible
-problem solver
-clean, not necessarily neat freak
-close to family
... did i miss anything? XD

ok so that's my list for now lol. no idea if he's out there, but i can hope right? mom and i had a deep talk last night. i told her i've been feeling kinda lonely and she said not to worry because when she was my age she felt the same, up until she met my dad when she was 28.

what about you guys? whoever reads this, share your thoughts, and what you'd like in your perfect man :)

almost got mugged (as a joke?)

as i was walking back from class today (thankfully, it stopped raining), peacefully listening to music minding my own business, some guy runs up behind me and taps me on the shoulder. i'll call him greasy faced fuck. anyway, greasy faced fuck starts badgering me with questions like "where do you live? what's your name? do you live in ________ apartments?" immediately i get suspicious and say, "i don't know you so go away."

and greasy faced fuck said (with a creepy smile on his face), "i want all your money and posessions and laptop." i was like, "i don't have anything on me." and started walking faster and onto the bike path. he kept following me. i was carrying my maroon umbrella and finally i stopped, turned around, raised my umbrella and yelled as loud as i could in his face, "YOU BETTER LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!!" he walked passed me and into some apartments hallway. no one was nearby to witness what happened.

i'm safe and nothing bad happened, except for my faith in humanity. what kind of sicko finds pleasure in freaking people out like that? and i'm kinda sure he wasn't really gonna mug me but rather, he was probably testing my limit. i know, 40 bucks and an iphone isn't worth throwing my life away for (just in case he had a weapon). but it's the principle. don't take what IS NOT YOURS.

it took me awhile to calm down and i practically ran back to my apartment all sweaty and pissy. but then a friend sent a cute video of pomeranian puppies playing with tennis balls and all was better in the world of david.

last few weeks, spending money, roommates, mothers, and a happening weekend/monday for the lgbt community!

well it's been awhile since my last post, so i guess it's time for a new one.

i'm kinda homesick. it's not unbearable but i really miss home. i've talked to my parents every night this past 3 weeks since moving in, and my brother twice a week. i think distance has something to do with it because my previous school was less than a 2 hour drive from home, but now i'm more than double that time away.

the previous two weekends though, i did get to go to LA to visit some friends so that was nice.

i've been spending a lot of money lately too... after reading about how some nalgene bottles (including mine) can leach chemicals into the water after half a year (i've had mine for a year), i decided to get rid of it and buy a nice white 1 liter sigg bottle on amazon. and a new digital camera because my old one has been having problems and doesn't take clear pictures anymore. in fact they're all quite blurry... but i'm looking forward to the new camera

ok now i'm all over the place. dunno what to write about anymore.

i guess writing about guys is always fun lol. anyway, there are so many hotties here. it's kinda overwhelming. a couple of the friends i've made in the queer group have both said that there are a lot of guys who aren't out (ie, of the masculine, straight-acting, sports-loving, beer-chugging type) but are into guys. apparently they are easy to meet at parties and if i in fact meet some, they will most likely have sex on their minds. cool. i'd like that, but i would also like an actual relationship. unfortunately, one of them said not to expect a boyfriend here because they all want sex. sigh. but maybe i'll meet someone who's hot, smart, funny, sensitive, and looking for a relationship. i should stop fantasizing huh?

speaking of guys, i actually posted an ad on craigslist saying i was looking for friends, and possibly more. i've met a couple nice guys, but out of the 25 or so responses, most of them want to hook up. hello? did you not read the who ad? i specifically said "looking for friends." and i didn't find any of them attractive either. but that's the shallow part of me talking. maybe if a hot one comes a long i'll think about it.

yesterday was coming out day and i was planning on coming out to my roommates, but i figured it would just happen naturally eventually, so i decided not to do it. plus, i don't need some destined coming out day to come out. i'm all for it, but i'll do it on my own time. we've had a lot of good laughs. it's usually the half white - half filipino one who's mom passed away when he was in high school who's cracking jokes and being silly. now i can't say that i feel his pain, because my parents are still alive and well, but i really sympathize (maybe not the right word) with him. in my life, i know quite a few people whose mothers passed away when they were really young so it's not a new concept to me. now, i know they just wanted to be treated normally. i can't imagine what it must have felt like to lose a parent at such a young age. which brings me to two more topics...

1. "your mom" jokes. they are really not funny. i don't understand why people think they're funny. what's so funny about insulting or making fun of someone else's mom? especially if someone don't know the person very well, and if their mother has already passed on. i mean, that can not possibly be funny.

2. people who talk to their parents like shit. my roommate is one of these. every time he talks to his mom or dad on the phone, it starts out quite tense and escalates to him full on yelling. and the tone is always "spoiled kid." i'm sure you know what i mean. whiny, manipulative, and aggressive. i'll admit that i had/have my days when mom just drove me crazy, but those days are long passed. now i can't imagine screaming at my parents for some silly little detail. and i remember when i was little i used to once in awhile. but now that i've found out my roommate is one of those kids, it has made me disgusted to know that i was like that before. granted, there are some terrible parents out there but many of them do love their children.

anyway that is just the summary of what i've been thinking about a lot lately.

this weekend was the national equality march in Washington DC. A few weeks ago, i turned in an application to attend this march, and was actually selected to go on an all-paid-for trip by the associated students, but i had a midterm on friday so i had to forfeit this once in a lifetime experience. but i think the spot went to someone else so that's good. also, schwarzenegger finally signed the bill to approve May 22nd Harvey Milk Day in California. Now that is breakthrough.

ok now i really have to go to some readings and catch up before i sink any deeper into school work. and to think this is only 12 units worth of work? oh boy...
