THRILLING

My friend Steve got married about a month ago, and this is what his reception looked like.  AMAAAAZING.

STARCRAFT 2

I said it!  Starcraft & SC Broodwar kept my phone line tied up for many many hours when I was in middle school and high school.  My friends and I were big fans of the big custom money maps; the kind that you could build indefinitely until you just unleashed on your opponent.  Times have changed and I no longer have dial up (YAY) and no longer have to play on a laptop that was so heavy, I could use as  a weapon (YAY).  It’s a great game and if you are looking for someone to play with, lynniechan, is your girl.  I still use Protoss as my go-to race, mostly because I’m too lazy right now to learn any other one.

On a semi-side note, BF and I have randomly burst into song…”My life for Aiur, Aiur, Aiur…” which I find exciting and somewhat sad.  My BF is amazing.

I imagine my whole house with that kind of lighting.  Too bad I live in earthquake land where that kind of lighting will surely kill me as I sleep.

1. Background music to further emphasize how much trouble you are at work.
2. Commercial breaks, similar to the Twix break (need a moment?) but better.  Plus you’d make money off of it!
3. Laughter even when its not funny.  And those laughter clips are usually hearty laughter, not the polite haha you I get.
4. I’d say I’d need hot costars but I have pretty good looking friends.  But do you? 
5. A perfect wardrobe to boot.
6. If you’re a sitcom, everything resets itself (the mess, the robbery, someone touching your whiteboard) after every episode.  However, if you’re a Korean drama, your super rich, awesome loving fiancee of 30 years is dead but you still have his eyes after the episode is done!  I’ll stick to my life as a sitcom, thank you.
7. Close proximity of friends at all times (examples: Friends, Will & Grace, BIG BANG THEORY, etc.)

When packing for the return trip back to California, I realized that I had no room in my luggage.  I bring Hoppy, my amazing bunny (some say I look like him when I’m sad), home with me everytime I go home because I think my parents get a real kick out of it.  I sometimes think they want to kidnap him.  Anyway, I had no room so I was forced to leave Hoppy at home.  I was pretty bummed but my mom was a little too excited.

Apparently he’s been having fun at home…well I’ll let you see for yourself.  My parents have been sending me updates (mom: it’ll be like camp!).

Dad’s Birthday

Lynn-chan,
I had a nice group at my birthday party.

Hey Lynn,
These guys wanted to wish you a very “Hoppy” Birthday. If you look
carefully, somebody crashed the party. I won’t say who it is but its name
starts with a “K” and ends with a “y”. Sorry I missed the call to you today,
and I didn’t want to bother you when you were painting the town red.
Happy Birthday!
Love,
Dad

Side note: That’s “Kitty” in front of Hoppy, my mom’s lamaze focus.  Dad and I think it’s gross and kind of creepy (WELL IT IS) but Mama C demands that Kitty gets the respect she deserves.  Ew.

I remember my parents encouraging us to use Mavis Beacon everyday.  I was angry because I couldn’t do it as quickly as my brother could and I ended up repeating stages over and over again.  I credit that to my 120+ WPM today.  I rocked Mavis Beacon’s racing game (its’ the one with cloud words scrolling across as you jam to some midi music).  I was pretty sad when we gave the computer away and my Mavis Beacon days were over.

I miss you Mavis Beacon lady

Fast forward to 2009, a splendid year.  First comes Typing Racer.  I have to say, my boss got pretty mad after he played and he refused to try ever again. You type against other people for typing supremacy.  I had to play a few races in order to be matched up with my boss.  If you type pretty fast, they make you take a test to make sure you’re not a crazy bot.  Great for interoffice competitions.

Then, there was Typing Maniac on Facebook.  This game gave me some serious carpal tunnel syndrome for a week after I reached 2 million.  Unfortunately I am second out of all my friends but I think I take healthy wrists over old woman wrists for now.  You type words as they come down from the sky; you get penalized if they fall on the floor.  For a boost, you get keywords that allow you to freeze the words, burn all the words in mid air, etc.  It gets progressively crazier as time goes on.  I wish they had a pause on this game because sometimes you just have to use the bathroom in the middle of the round and you’re out of luck. 

The moral of the story is this: please get away from your silly one finger typing (though it can be quick, not as quick as getting your digits on the home rows and going from there).  Secondly, come challenge me for typing challenges!
