let's try this regular posting thing again:

I'm ashamed of...
my standoffish-ness. i'm no good at parties or cafeterias or long car rides. i never know what to say - and if i do come up with something, it's usually boring. 

so, this is a late entry for everything, really:

1. happy new years (both gregorian and chinese). 2007 was great, but 2008 will be great-er. great has part of 2008 in its name - gr8 - see? this year'll (or, the next 10 1/2 months'll) be awesome. my resolution is: be happy

2. you know all those book reviews i promised you guys? there's actually a site for stuff like that - check out my account here: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/792975 
(it's ugly because i still haven't figured out how to link on lj)

3. took my exams. so far, the results have been pretty good.

4. my birthday was 2 days ago. hurrah for another trip around the sun. got some awesome gifts - songs, catapults and b&n cards.

5. am on break now.

Rants below. Ignore it, unless you indulge in shadenfreude. Maybe at some point I'll start posting book reviews again.
