Just because I don't say anything doesn't mean I don't like you.

Here are some nice photos from John of "Silencing Ning" (that play I was in)

I just watched 'the man who fell to earth', such a good movie.. I liked a lot of the surreal images.
I kept thinking later about when david bowie gets his 'human' contacts stuck over his alien eyes, and they shoot an xray into said eyes and it burns the contacts to his retinas- he can never go back to his planet again because he will never be able to take his human eyes off.
and i lost my glasses, so i think having my contacts in my eyes all day sort of made me connect with it more lol.

My boss gave me the coolest camera that I'm super excited to start taking more pictures with! It's an old Nikon 35 mm camera with different lenses and everything. Everyone I talked to today seemed to be in a sort of sad mood. I'm just keepin my head down and working.

Faith is what allows you to stand up in front of a crowd or think clearly alone in the wild. It's an aggressive awareness of who you are and where you stand, and it's not found from other people or sitting in church of from a therapist. (from a note I wrote myself during thanksgiving break)

Today walking to work, it was like my iPod knew exactly how I was feeling even though it was on shuffle...

"You've got a look in your eye, when you're saying goodbye, like you
want to say hi."
(Baby britain by elliot smith)

Not "in a rush, to touch, crush, and be up
...
Just be true, and there's nothing I won't do for you"
(One call away by chingy)

"When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there, when you come back down"
(when you come back down by nickel creek)

"every new beginning starts with some other beginning's end"
(I know who I want to take me home by semisonic)

Can't wait for next week- Spring Break.
I saw another of the "First Love, Second Chance" posters on the subway today!

Why, yes, I, Andrea Chen, am the girl in the fruit sweater swinging in Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness" (note 1:55) lol http://www.youtube.com/user/KidCudiVEVO#p/a/u/0/3Z_Ys3BO_4M

I wish if I could be anything, that I could be like music. Even if you listen to it online, or see a video, it's not the same thing as seeing it in person, having it shake the floor underneath you. Even if you don't like it at first, the second time or third, maybe you can identify with it. Music just wants to provide a soundtrack to your life, give voice to your feelings, make you feel things.

"Sometimes people just like being around each other, and good things come out of that. My goal in life is to love whoever I think is worth loving, and I think if people knew her like I knew her, they would love her like I do. It's really simple." (Billy Corgan about Jessica Simpson. cute)

Vivian, Alyssa, and me..

On the way to the airport right now to pick up one of my oldest and dearest friends, Vivian, who is coming to stay with me this weekend.
Last night was the play 'Silencing Ning' opening night, and as 'Ning' I thought it went well! It'll be showing till March 14th.

"she couldn't believe a liar like me. It wasn't really a lie: It was a wish, not a lie, and maybe it wasn't even a wish, maybe it was a fact" (Ask the Dust, by John Fante)

I love booty.

Booty was sitting in my lap just now...
It was a long day, but we got to eat in the Fort Hamilton Military Base Fortress. It was so nice inside, and I felt really special thinking we might be some of the few people allowed inside who weren't in the Army, although we were in uniform.
