And They Were All Yellow

Friday: DBQ & Interact Benefit Show! Benefit Show was a fantastic way to kick off spring break. Despite the kinks and time-delay, the performances were wonderful and I had a great night. Summer Breeze, Janki, Brian Dublin, and Jam Zummel had amazing performances. Also, someone accidentally dropped their soda during Vintry's performance, which was a little uncalled for, but nevertheless hilarious because some girl in the front seat rolled off the bleachers as if a bomb had been set off. I shouldn't laugh. Still, the night amazed me!

(All pictures stolen from Peter Wu, by the way).

Saturday: I went to the Tech Museum and visited the Body World Exhibit with my father. I love how the place always leaves me with a sense of wonder. Even though I'm a lol moderately obdurate atheist, it really amazes me how we intricately evolved over time. The human body, a beautiful machine comprised of countless vessels and fragile, yet strong muscles, never ceases to leave me breathless. The last time I visited this exhibit, I was in 8th grade. Now, backed up with so much knowledge from a yearlong study of AP biology, the exhibit left me completely in love.

(Aren't I so pensive!)

I just love the exhibit. Besides the fact that it stirs up the science nerd in me, it also makes me contemplate upon subjects like philosophy and religion as well as human mortality. Simply. Amazing. I'm also very grateful that my dad came along with me because we're not very close, and this exhibit sort of acted like a bridge between my interests and his willingness to my interests. I love my father; he reminds me a lot of myself. We're both quiet and awkward.

And yes, I spent the rest of the day mindlessly working out calculus problems while talking with my chola, Kevin Belleville. He's like the Richard to my Clarissa; my fragile, gay best friend suffering from AIDS--I'm not actually a jerk. It's an allusion to The Hours.

Tonight, I went over to my cousin's house to celebrate her 6th birthday. Me, Shannon, and Crystal watched a horror movie and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I'm impervious to horror movies, and it's freaking hilarious when people get scared watching them. I told Shannon that I had a feeling about someone asking me out to prom but me quickly saying that I had plans on Saturday. She was astonished, confused that anyone would ask me because I'm mean and rude. Oh, she knows me too well.

On a positive note, plenty of cute prom pictures to stalk tonight, people! Whereas I, acerbic plain Jane Stacey with a dislike for societal roles, will just go study for calculus some more.
