Still not feeling 100%, so stayed home and am working from home
instead. I walked across the street to trader joe’s for my lunch
and saw something that made me feel kind of bad.
Around me everyone was buying lunch and the girl behind me was buying
energy bars. She was gorgeous, thin, the ideal Orange County
looking girl, and she was buying energy bars for lunch.
That’s when I thought, “Could I ever give up the food I love just so I can be thin and look like her?”
I looked at my carb filled meal and then at her energy bars.
I briefly considered trading back my meal for something similar to hers.
And then I paid the cashier.
Mmm.. carbs.

I want to be on reality TV
A while back my good buddy wu pleaded to the gods at Xanga through his blog trying to get a job at Xanga. They actually saw his blog and replied.
I’m trying the same thing. Maybe there’s some director out there, or someone who knows a casting director that will point them to this page?
Why do I want to be on a reality TV show?
It just seems like one of those things that would be fun to do in my life… Just to be able to say I did it. One of my friends was on Wheel of Fortune and I thought it was the coolest thing that all of us got together and watched him on the show.
Also, I’m a pretty good bitch.
That, and to me, it seems like a lot of reality TV shows have parts where you can talk shit about other people. It’ll be like I’m blogging but everyone will see me be a bitch instead of just reading about it =D
I’ve been taking a look at some reality TV show applications and they all ask for pictures… So here are some shots for you to send to your uncle that is a casting director for CBS:
You know you want this 12 year old looking 22 year old on your show.

If you could be on any reality TV show, which one would you be on?

Weiners on the knees win the vote.
Hands down, no question
As much as I hate the nonsensical gibberish written by today’s teens, there’s something else that also constantly bothers me: people who write in a style so convoluted with “big words” they learned from SAT books or looked up in the dictionary that the general comprehension of their writing is pretty much at the level of a teeny bopper’s rant or an emo-child’s poetry.
Don’t get me wrong, I love intellectual discourse. What I hate are people who think that in order to achieve writing that sounds more intelligent they must alienate anyone who has never memorized thousands of vocabulary words.
To me, the things that make intelligent writing intelligent are the ideas that are put across, not the words that are used in order express those ideas.
Examples
For example… if I wrote an entry that said:
“I took a shit today and it stank.”
Not very interesting, and the idea is lame, right? What if I wrote:
“Today, when I emptied my bowels, my excrement was emitting a disgustingly putrid odor.”
Yeah, bigger and less used words, but the idea is still the same and just as lame.
What if, instead, I said something like:
“I dislike that I get paid less than the owner’s son, even though I do more work”
Would it really be any different, or would the idea be more complex or interesting AT ALL if instead I began ranting about nepotism and how it runs rampant in my work place? (all these examples fictional by the way, my shit smells like roses.)
Fuck pseudo-intellectual elitists
The only difference is that less people will understand the ideas put across by the person who writes with big words, and those same person who thinks he/she writes intelligently can find a elitist satisfaction in the fact that the less-learned find it hard to understand what he/she is saying.
While those who actually understand the words simply shake their heads and say “What a bunch of unintelligent bullshit.”
Emo-children, teeny boppers, and pseudo-intellectuals are all the same:
What is the point of written communication when you’re not actually communicating with anyone?

What does the flu feel like?
I wonder…
Because if it feels like someone’s hand [maybe the size of Shaq’s] is squeezing the back of my head into a pulp, and a sore throat then perhaps I have it.
…and I thought I was the lucky one in my apartment that escaped the sickness. Apparently I’m just a little late to the party.
Today’s question (since I have no post due to headache):
Would you rather have sex with a hot chick that has a penis on her forehead or a hot chick with a penis on each knee?
Girls and boys answer this question. And none of that pussy “neither one” answer shit either.
I say, knees.

I know it’s wrong to make fun of young people
… but I totally can’t help it.
They make it way too easy
Okay, okay, you guys always give me a hard time for picking on chicks that are in the 13-16 range… But I swear to you, anyone who is old enough to willingly post a picture of themselves in a thong on the internet is old enough to be made fun of by me.
So honestly, I have very little to say about this girl, other than the fact that I ran into her site through Featured Content and that it appears that she speaks english, but in a completely foreign way… and yes, it makes me laugh.
Excerpt:
BABY I MISH YU
ITEEE SO YESTADAII WAS MCLANCY DANCE.. HAD MAD FUN.. ESPECIALLY CUZ I WUSS WIT MA NIKKUHS.. I YUSS..LOL ND NINA ND ME MET OUR GOAL.. YEY US!! LOL I DIDNT THINK WE COULD DO IT BUH WE DID… EXCEPT WE FORGOT TO BRING MAD SHIT WIT US… … ITE SO MAD BORED MENG.. ND MAD HW DAT AINT GON GET DUN.. SOUND GOOD RYHH? WONDA WA IAMMA GO ROLL OFF ND DO TODAII… IF NETHIN…
And the inevitable question:
Do you think people who write like this really can’t write/spell and are trying to cover up their lack of intelligence by writing shit incorrectly “on purpose”… OR do you think that it’s possible that people who write like this instinctively have a higher sense of the English language than the rest of us?
I mean, that would explain why it makes me so tired when I try to ‘riTe lyke a teeniE boPPer’.

Shi’s FAQ’s
Everything you always ask.
1. What exactly does “pwned” mean?
This is the highest ranked definition of “PWNED” on urbanDictionary.com:
A corruption of the word “Owned.” This
originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer
misspelled “owned.” When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to
say, so-and-so “has been owned.”
Instead, it said, so-and-so “has been pwned.”
It basically means “to own” or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.
“Man, I rock at my job, but I still got a bad evaluation. I was pwned.”
OR
“That team totally pwned us.”
I’ve been asked that at least 10 times… so there you go.
EDIT: Pronunciation: I pronounce “pwned” ‘pooohned’
— like phoned, without the ‘h’. The actual pronunciation is
“owned” I believe.
2. What ethnicity are you?
My last name is Nguyen. If that’s not enough of an indication of
what ethnicity I am, then the word “VIETNAMESE” should help.
3. What does “Shi” mean and why did you choose that name?
I always try to get names with the lowest number of letters
possible. The first name I always go for is “ai” which means
“love” in Japanese. [My blogger.com name is ai]
The second name I go for is “Shi”. It means “death” or the number 4 in Japanese.
4. Why are you such a bitch?
Because people are idiots. That and the fact that I get the
distinct feeling that the voice that comes across the screen is not
quite as friendly as the way I actually speak. People that know
me can probably “hear” the intonations of my speech through my writing
— but I can see how my written voice can be pretty harsh.
So to sum it up: I may not be as angry as I sound. In real life I
have a very high-pitched asian voice that makes up for the nasty shit I
say.
5. Will you comment me back?/ Give me eprops? / Go to my site?
Honestly, I go to about 90% of my commenter’s sites, just to see what
type of people I reach. I almost never comment unless I know the
person or if their entry strikes something in me. I also almost
never comment in reply unless your comment strikes something in
me. But don’t worry, your comments are being read and are
extremely appreciated.
I read 100% of all my comments.
Oh yeah, and asking me to comment on your site will result in a
comment-only or 0 comments if I comment at all, depending on how much
you annoy me that day. The same goes for asking for
e-props. Thanks. Good day.
I think that pretty much covers most of it. =] The next question
and answer session will be a “Dear Kim” so if you have any questions
you didn’t ask yet, feel free to post them here.

I’m called a tomboy…
But I hate sports.
I’ve been called a tomboy more than once in my life. It’s always weird when I get called that because I’ve always associated the word ‘tomboy’ with a girl who likes sports, and does mostly ‘boyish’ activities.
Now, while my attitude may be considered semi-manly because I hate bitches, can fart and burp with the nastiest of them, spend only 5 minutes to get ready in the morning, and have a quick tongue for insults — I don’t know if tomboy is the really the right word to describe me.
I mean, most of my hobbies are anything but manly. I like to knit, sew, cook, wrap presents [it IS a hobby — trust me], fold useless things out of paper, and buy ridiculously priced cute things from Asia.
It’s true that I’m a computer science major, and that I like to play video games… but I don’t think that’s really cause enough to call me a tomboy.
Am I a tomboy that has girly hobbies that hates sports? It doesn’t seem to sound right.
What labels have you been called that don’t make sense?
P.S. I think I’m running out of topics that I’m actually passionate about. Have any ideas about what you want me to talk about next?
