well it's been a while, hasn't it?

the last two weeks have been pretty busy, with midterms and papers and stuff, but i think i did pretty well, so i guess all the work payed off.

it's a three day weekend for me! happiness :) finally, a chance to relax, and i spent it last night going to a rave, which was pretty interesting. it seems very un-me to go to a rave, but it was actually a lot of fun!

we took the bus for 20 min there, and lo and behold, the club used to be a church and is appropriately named the "Altar". yes, a church! no, it's not cult-based or creepy. actually, a lot of things in Pittsburgh are built from old buildings and stuff. there's a hookah bar about 2 blocks from my dorm that's built from a church too -_- how almost sacrilegious.



yeah it was pretty fun. they had a couple of different techno djs and artists perform, so it was pretty enjoyable, even though it lasted til 2am -__-zzzzzz.

and people really liked to smoke at the rave. never been a big fan of cigarette smoke (bleh), even though i'm used to it, seeing as i hail from hk >.<. i hate how my laundry basket now smells like cigarettes, but at least it's not on me anymore.

it was also weird being like the only asian person there in existence. everybody else was white. seriously now. obviously pittsburgh's more homogeneous than socal is, but this was another story.
at the end of the night, when the altar closed, some black person driving by the street opened her window and yelled out "OMG WHITE PEOPLE!!!!" (the club's not in a very white neighborhood). my friend tom pointed out that it was absolutely true...expect for me.

then we called a taxi back to dorms, cause after all, it was like 2:30 by then.
pretty funny stuff for a rave. it was a fun experience: got to dance and listen to techno REALLY REALLY LOUDLY. still can't hear entirely...hopefully i didnt kill my ears that badly. but i'm glad i'm not planning to make raves a habit, because i'll be deaf by the time i come back to visit. i'm sorry--what did you say? huh? could you repeat that?

oh yeah, i also got my absentee ballot and i voted! don't forget to register if you haven't done so already.

i'm going to fallingwater next weekend with the honors college kids! (yea, timo, that's for you, crazy architecture kid. i'll take pictures.)
