Stupid Neighborhood

Posted on April 15, 2005 by under Life.    

I’ve always told Brian that we lived in the ghetto and he always insisted that we didn’t. Today, I was proved right. Brian came home late tonight because he picked his mom up from her work and drove her home, then he went to Lowe’s to get us a new garbage disposal (we killed ours), then Dillon’s for stamps and Pepsi, then he went to Sumo (currently on North Rock Road but will be relocating to 13th and Greenwich soon; they make the best sushi in Wichita) to get sushi and he brought me dinner at work. When he finally arrived home, he said that the neighbor on our left told him that some neighborhood kids tried to break into our house around three o’clock this afternoon. Brian said that he confirmed this because when he checked the front door the hardware was loose. They almost pulled the handle out. I figured with our house looking dilapidated and unkempt on the outside (our house looks worse on the inside, trust me), we were safe from burglars. Who would even think that there is anything of value inside this house? That is just dumb. I guess now that the gutters are fixed our house looks semi-decent and break-in worthy. I hate these dumb teenagers! No offense to the non-dumb ones. I told Brian that he needs to put signs on the doors and windows that say, “If you try to break into our house again we will kill all of you, and your families, and your dogs, and your cats, and your cousins, and your uncles, and your aunts, and your friends, and your teachers, and your ferrets, and your imaginary friends, and your parole officer.” I think it will be much more effective than the stolen ADT signs. People think twice about breaking into the home of a lunatic, you know. Anyway, Brian said that he and his dad burglar-proofed the house so I guess we can at least sleep soundly tonight. Thanks, Dad B! 🙂

Gifts from Strangers

Posted on April 12, 2005 by under Wishlist.    

My Late Christmas from my Friend! by flip0674

Gift number one of three arrived today from Brian’s stalker friend.. Much to my dismay. And I said to myself, “I can handle this.” Brian will even attest to the fact that I didn’t freak out, didn’t do the jealous wife thing. In fact, I maintained a good sense of humor about it all. I’m thrilled for Brian for having enough appeal to attract a sugar mommy without even having to strip or jack off for the webcam. Kudos, baby! You win! You know I’m better than Brian at a lot of things, but he’s definitely better than me at getting strangers to send him gifts. That’s for sure. I’m not even going to bother competing with this girl. She’s not going to sucker me into it like the last time. She can keep wooing him all she wants. I know Brian won’t leave me. I give good head! Kidding aside, this is really great. She can buy him gifts, I can give him sex, and everyone is happy. I get to save money this way. Ha! Ha! Ha! Meet Ching, the eternal optimist. “Now I have to call her,” he says. “Definitely,” I tell him. “You should definitely call her and thank her for the gift.” “But what if she wants to have phone sex with me?” “Go for it. I don’t mind.” “I don’t even know what she looks like. I’m not having phone sex with her until I see a picture.” He starts laughing after saying this because he realizes that he said something that I might say. “What does it matter? You’re going to imagine that you’re fucking Rachel Ray (he’s had the hugest crush on the $40 a Day chick since he saw her in her underwear in FHM) while you’re jacking off anyway.” Brian is so careful about all this stuff. Always trying to reassure me that this crazy woman is not interested in him in that way and that she has a boyfriend. What the fuck ever. Well, I wasn’t born yesterday. I know that she wouldn’t spend this kind of money on him unless she’s interested. I mean, if I had extra money I’d be buying gifts for myself and my loved ones; not total strangers I have never met, and I may never meet, who are living five states away. Brian felt the need to point out that she sent his friend Jared a gift, too. He got a stroller for his kid. So, what? “Aren’t you glad you don’t have any children?” I asked him, “Otherwise, you’d be getting a stupid stroller, too. At least she’s sending you good stuff.” Anyway, I think it’s funny now.. But a couple of years from now when I’m blogging all alone because he has divorced me to be with his stalker friend I may not be laughing anymore. But that’s cool. I wouldn’t want to have the last laugh. You know what they say, “The person who laughs last ends up peeing.”

See you all at Wendy’s?

Lunch at Wendy's
Lunch at Wendy’s
Originally uploaded by Ching.

Park City Poker Round Up is nearing the end of its run. Last chance to qualify for finals on Saturday. Some people will be MIA but I’m hoping the Dills, Corey and Saif won’t let me down. Come on guys, let’s go!

Lunch will probably be at Wendy’s again. You can’t beat the 99 cent menu. Just remember to ask for the chili minus the fingers. Kidding! I just had to. Sorry.

Anyway, how does an early breakfast at IHOP sound to everyone. Call or text message us!

Mama Iyay is Here

Posted on April 11, 2005 by under Family.    

Mom and Mama arrived from New Jersey yesterday. Mama actually arrived from the Philippines a couple of weeks ago. She spent time with our relatives in New Jersey because she was traveling with Tia Hendricka. Mom left last Thursday to get her and bring her to Wichita. While there, they attended a party and also did some sightseeing. You can see pictures of their trip here.

End of the Tunnel

Posted on April 4, 2005 by under School.    

I’m almost to the end of the tunnel and I’m glad to report that there is light. When I decided to return to school, I kind of looked at things from a glass-half-empty perspective but now I’m more optimistic about everything. The glass is half full and it contains sangria! I met with my advisor today and it seems I’m right on schedule. After this semester is over, I have one more year. With taking a couple of classes this summer and nine credit hours each for this fall and next spring, I’ll actually end up with all of the minors that I’ve been striving for — so I’ll end up with a BBA in Management Information Systems and minors in Accounting, Management and Computer Science. Go me! I completed my degree card and everything so it feels like graduation is just around the corner. I cannot wait! I want a degree already. I feel like such a loser without one.. And even more so because I’m not exactly dumb. I act dumb sometimes and I say dumb things but I’m pretty smart. I just never finished college the first time because there were a lot of distractions. I should be done soon, though. Thank, God! Although, I’m thinking about staying in school after I get my bachelors to get my masters.. Just because it’s so hard to get back into the groove of going to school and I don’t want to wait another ten years to get my graduate degree. I figured I might as well take advantage of what little momentum I’ve got and just go for the gusto. Speaking of accomplishments, I meant to post this on Friday but I was afraid you all would think it was an April Fool’s joke. I got the following letter from Wichita State’s Office of Multicultural Affairs last week:

Dear Cherrie, Congratulations! On behalf of the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Minority Student Mentoring Program, I want to congratulate you on achieving a 3.5 GPA or higher for the Fall 2004 semester. In honor of your achievement, we will host a Students of Color Academic Achievement Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 at 2 p.m. in the Regents Room (#203) of the Rhatigan Student Center. Congratulations again, and I look forward to seeing you at the ceremony. Please RSVP by April 15, 2005 to [contact person, phone number and email here]. Sincerely, Kenya Y. McKinley, M.S.W. Director

It came in the mail early last week but I didn’t open it because I hardly ever open mail from WSU. It’s usually stupid stuff. Brian opened the letter and was so thrilled he had to read it to me while I was in the bathroom. I guess he is proud of me. What I don’t get is that I have had a 3.5 GPA or better ever since I started going to school again and I’ve never been invited before. Did they just now realize that I am a student of color? Geez. Maybe this is the first time they’re doing this thing? Who knows? I already asked permission from my boss to attend so I’m going. You all should stop by and cheer for me. I need all the encouragement that I can get. You know, with my low self-esteem and all.
