My current nickname is Yason.  My roommates gave it to me.  My full nickname is Yason Andy Jip.  They just switched the J of my first name and the Y of my last name.  I think it sounds pretty Jewish. 

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

   You would think that a Writing class would teach you how to develop your skills in writing, but how do you develop those skills if all you do is peer edit and proofread!?  Proofreading and peer edits are just suggestions!  And suggestions ARE not techniques, damn it!  They're just opinions!
   Seriously, it doesn't make sense to me at all.  You can't get better at something if you aren't taught at how to be better at it!  I would have found learning how to do a "Works Cited" to be interesting...IF I DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW!  I'll give the instructor, Shannon (yeah, she tells us to call her Shannon), credit though because it at least the Works Cited is something definite, nothing we have to guess or wonder.
   I mean, I know the basic stuff of writing. 

• Intro
• Body paragraphs
• Conclusion
• Thesis
• Main point of each paragraph
• Supporting details with citations
• and the list goes on

   But what's the point if my writing doesn't get any better?  Really, I know it's college but all you (Shannon) told the class is that is that you want a fucking 4 page paper that compares and contrasts 2 out of the 4 stories we just read?  You also wanted it to have an Intro and a Conclusion with a good Thesis?  That's awesome!  Now can I ask you for just one tiny thing?  Instead of just reading your book for 40 minutes as we "proofread and edit," can you freakin' teach me something useful, so I don't feel like I'm wasting my money for my education!?

Just some stuff on my mind that I feel like blogging about.

• On my "Steps to Enrollment," it says that my UCSB Fees have been paid for.  So I assume my Financial Aid stuff went through!  That is totally bomb.  It's a big weight off my shoulders!  
• Alhambra's Renaissance Movie Theater can go shove a long slippery popsicle shaped object up their ass!  Not only do they have a shitty list of movie selection, one of their workers needs to grow a pair.  I don't wanna go into details, but yeah.  WORST.  THEATER.  EVER. 
  
• I know it's retarded of me, but I wonder if people play Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in college.  If they do, I just found my new (refreshed) hobby.
• It feels good to treat my good friends out.  I mean, even if it's for something small like some dessert.
• I feel like picking up MapleStory again.  But if I do, I'll be obsessed with trying to be godly.  I probably won't start again, but you never know.  And doing so in college might be more fun since it'd be more casual because I would prioritize important stuff first.
• I absolutely hate school pride.  I think it's ridiculous.  Sure, one school is better, but what difference does it make?  You're just showing off by saying "GO *Whatever you mascot is!" or "*Whatever initials your college of choice goes by.*"  Jesus Christ, stop trying to promote your school and do something more useful.  School Pride...that's bullshit.  It's more like "I think my school is better than yours" pride.
  
• I think girls playing basketball is awesome (No, it's not because of Tonia or Aimara.)  I saw two of my cousin's friends.  They were together, and the girl can play ball, the guy too.  It was cute seeing them play one-on-one, and HORSE.  They would make fun of each other and junk.  I think having that similarity in playing basketball (or any sport) makes a relationship more fun.  It just gives them another thing to do.  Like they could play at a park then just lay down on a blanket in the shade and sleep.  Ah!
