WOULD-LIKES:
* if PCC15 were really sick: sick as in tight. tight as dope. dope as in the shit. this would mean that the script would be irrefutably good, and if everyone just agreed on everything <--- hahah! a sub-"would-like" would be if besides write/direct, i were able to act/sing/dance/compose music for/play live instrument on stage/use a whip during rehearsals/use a whip on stage.
* if i got into Seattle U School of Law or U.Dub School of Law: i have a feeling i kinda belong in Seattle. culturally diverse area, supportive AA/PI community - i hear their Fil-Am community is particularly unique, awesome fucking music scene, i like cold weather, i love metropolitan areas, and i think i have family there. i'll always come back to the Bay Area, but i just really need to get out of California.
* if i were a social-developmental psychologist, i would like to study altruism: because it goes back to the beginnings of evolutionary theory/evolutionary psychology. i was gonna go into a big huge explaination of this but it's actually like 10:04, not 8:04. that was the time i started this. and this is the last thing i'm typing.
DISLIKES:
* Louis XIV: i could call them out on statutory rape of someone i know personally, but i'll just stick to their atrocious music: chordal progressions are tired, lyrics couldn't be more insipid, and they use gimmicky and clichéd publicity (ooh! naked girl on their album cover! risqué!). and they're ugly.
* people who are patronizing... and don't know it: i should feel sorry for them. and i have been for a while. now i'm just really really fucking annoyed. some of you know who i'm talking about.
* getting a C on an exam when all you wanted was a B because you got a D on the previous exam: that blows pretty hard.
OTHER THINGS THAT ARE PROBABLY ONLY OF INTEREST TO ME:
* Robyn and i went searching for a copy machine around Oakes during PHD. We found one at the Steno Pool, and it was there that i spotted my former therapist. he didn't notice me at first. and i couldn't really say hi, because there's some ethical shit to that (confidentiality, etc. even just having others know i underwent counseling is a violation of that confidentiality, but anyway...). Plus Robyn and I were in a hurry. A lady there asked if we were TAs and i said we were for the Pilipino Historical Dialogue class. at that i noticed from my peripheral that that got his attention, and i'm pretty sure he recognized me. what makes this poignant is that when i was under counseling with him, i started off talking about the pressure grades were having on me emotionally, when most of the time i just ended up talking about my struggles with my cultural identity. this included my previous negative attitudes about FSA, my relative ignorance about my culture's past, how most Filipino kids my age can't relate to me, let alone notice me, etc. etc. that he recognized me, saying i teach a class specifically about the Filipino struggle, is a testament to how far i've come since i last visited him at the end of Fall quarter. i had always intended on e-mailing him every now and then, keeping him updated on what i was up to, but now i guess i don't have to. hopefully he sees that i'm doing pretty well.
* isn't "would" a funny-looking word? especially capitalized. WOULD. same with "University". it starts to look funny after you see it repetitiously.
