Being at college has made me look forward to lots of things.  The main reason for this is most likely the fact that I am "on my own" now.  Which means that the things I do could be the stupidest things ever or the best things ever.  It really is my choice to decide if I really want to do stuff.  So a list of things to look forward to:

• Halloween.
  

• UCSD Trip with Jennifer D..
  

• Thanks-FUCKING-giving (weekend)!
  

• Secret Santa (Christmas).
  

• New classes/End of this quarter.

• This Thursday.

...people are so energetic when you just want to do your own thing?
...people smell like alcohol, come up to you, and speak their complete mind with topics such as "The Chinese Government fucking sucks" and "My mom is Irish?"
...black people come out of their music blasted room and dance right in front of you when you are trying to leave the building, forcing you to say "Um, excuse me? *Gives hidden disgusted look as you exit*?
...you have to wait 1-2 minutes for a bike trail to have a small gap just so you can walk across?
...you have a big window in your room, and a friend calls you to say that they are watching you, making you turn to your left, looking through your window, seeing them on their bike, looking at you with the "rape look?"
...you have your door open and people come in asking you to vote for them as some representative even though you know nothing about them and don't give a shit about it or them whatsoever?
...you see Dwang riding a bicycle?
...a person with fabulous cursive sends you a love letter saying that their heart burns for you like the fire of a thousand golden suns without knowing who they are?
...you find out the person who wrote that letter is named "Todd?"
...you get a friend mad and feel like shit?

Tomorrow, 10 "Don't you love it when..."s!

Verizon Store: The Wonder Girls had a Verizon Store Event, and I opted to go to that, even though I knew I would see them as a FAN*TASTIC. From other Fan Accounts, I read that they would only sign one thing. I told my friend that I would get her one. So going to the Verizon Event would be a "smart" thing to do, or so I thought. I brought the cake along, but that was a bad idea. When I got there, the line to meet them was already a block long. It wasn't hot, but I stayed in the shade as much as possible to keep the cake safe, just in case I wouldn't meet them. And that was case. (Though they stayed for 40 minutes longer than they needed to).

Post-Verizon Store: The meeting for the FAN*TASTICS start at 8:45 PM, so I had 5 hours to kill. LA is a cool place to explore, so it wasn't too bad. But since I couldn't get the cake to them, I needed a way to keep it cool. So I bought a basket and filled it with ice. I took the subway to Staples Center, and just waited it out. There were so many Jonas Brothers fans, it wasn't even funny!

Staples Center: The Staples Center staff is terrible. They didn't know about the Wonder Girls FAN*TASTICS and thus made it impossible to explain that I was here for that. I eventually met up with a few other FAN*TASTICS (no need to get into that). 8:45 came.

Meeting the girls: Hana came, she is really cool. Blackberry with the list of people who made it. She is tech-savy! We got wristbands. Then we just waited until the girls were ready. It took 45 minutes. Hana told us they were behind schedule, so all they had time for would be a photo. We were ALL disappointed to hear such a thing. What made it worse was that we had to take it in groups of 2 or 3. When they showed up, they were in their gold dresses. They were gorgeous. We started singing the "Nobody" chorus, and YeEun and SunYe, did the clap, clap, point to us! When it was my group's turn I gave them my cake, they were like "CHEESECAKE!? Thank you so much!" Then my group and I went down the line and hugged all of them. They said "hi, nice to meet you." Then we got ready for our Photo-Op picture. We gave the staff our camera so that we could have our own. I used a Polaroid (because I hoped that I could get it signed at the end of the Meet and Greet of the concert). Then it was over. That's it.

After meeting the girls: We passed out fliers. It was really annoying watching some people not even taking the fliers. There was one account where I passed it to a little boy, and he was like "EW, Wonder Girls!" and threw it back in my basket full of fliers. But there was this one woman, that said their music was AWESOME, and that if we could talk to them, tell them that. She even asked about the Nobody single and their Korean CDs, how she could get them, etc. She even asked for extra fliers. She made being a FAN*TASTIC worthwhile.

Finishing the fliers: All of us FAN*TASTICS were not satisfied, because we saw the Meet and Greet through the doors, at the end. And the Staples staff just wouldn't let us through! So, we went to the closest door and started chanting, "LET US IN!" And eventually Hana came out and said, we could take one last photo, but no autographs. We were fine with that because we never got our pictures with them individually. But as Hana was letting us in, they ended the whole thing. So we weren't able to get that last picture. But the Wonder Girls saw us and waved one last time.

Final thoughts: It was REALLY disappointing as a FAN*TASTIC, because we got nothing. If we bought concert tickets, we could have just gone to the end of the concert's Meet and Greet and have gotten the same treatment. We didn't get CDs or T-Shirts, and worst of all, NO AUTOGRAPHS! As a fan, I got to meet them and get a picture! But even if I just saw them at that concert, I could have done the same at the end of the Meet and Greet. The other FAN*TASTICS were awesome though. I rate my experience a 6.5/10. All I really wanted was an autograph. I don't blame the girls for it, it was just a time thing.
