I am obsessed with buying and selling on ebay. I used to do this when I was younger, but it was definitely geared towards selling random stuff I had around the house, namely magazines and books. Now, after finally getting over my distrust of clothes not being able to fit me without trying them on, I have bought 14 items in the past month! I think combined with shipping, I've spent close to $130! However, averaged out, that is like $10 an item, so I guess that's not too bad. That is way cheaper than what I can get at the stores, even if everything were on sale.

I've been trying to get into designer jeans - there are a lot of warnings about fake designer jeans online on ebay, which is terrible because people like to go there to find GOOD deals on EXPENSIVE goods! I have bought a few pairs: Seven 7, !it Jeans, blue cult and C7P (Chip and Pepper). All of them actually fit pretty well, considering that I didn't try them on before hand. They averaged to be like $10, $12 a pair, which is a great bargain. I never ever ever find jeans that cheap (and of good fit) anymore in the stores. Jeans on sale at express are like $20 at the lowest, and most of the good sizes (aka SHORT) are gone by that point anyway.

Not to mention shirts! Oh man! So I'm starting to get into J Crew and Banana Republic, but retail, oh man, forget it. On sale, items are like over $30, which is kinda ridiculous, especially if it's just a t-shirt or something! But I've found a cute tank top from J Crew for like $3 TOTAL. I got this sweater that was cute but a little unflattering, so I shipped it to Tiff.

LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Hi!

it's been over a year since I've last written in here...

And I'm not really sure what prompted me to stop writing in the first place since I still somewhat regularly wrote in my real handwritten journal.

...

After staying up with Raymond working on Chinese stuff (yea it's 4:18am) ... we were looking up each other's names and then onto people's old Xangas... when I suddenly remembered that MY BLOGSPOT ACCOUNT IS STILL ALIVE SOMEWHERE

So that's how I ended up here...

Oh okay let's see...

I'm a junior now at CMU... hey I'm still at CMU, surprise! Considering that a lot of my CMU entries were so utterly depressing -- "I hate my life, I'm such an idiot, CS kicks my ass, I fucking hate the people that backstab me" -- I'm surprised that I'm still here.

But life has definitely improved over the last two years... I think I've finally "adjusted" to life/schoolwork here, although yes, some classes still kick my ass.

I remember writing entries at weird hours of the night... because that's when it flows the most. I am not sure why because I find this to be true for normal face-to-face conversations as well.. People reveal the most late, late at night.

Oh I'm really hungry.

And I should sleep.

Okay more later, my love..

I am so sorry. I am alive, I really am.

And the past month I just got an epiphany: that I love him. I love him so much.
