fucking (flying) high

Umm...guess who just won $15,000?

That's right. MY BOYFRIEND. For being a 2006 Goldwater Scholar and the biggest nerd I know. I'm so so proud =D. It's really hard to get the award, especially as a sophomore, so I guess it pays to have a 4.0 and lots of ambition. See, I can't brag about myself, but I have no qualms bragging about Karl because he deserves the recognition. He's also a hottie, knows Chinese, cooks, bakes, and gives great foot rubs.

...ANNNNNND...yesterday, he bought me the Tiffany's necklace I've been dying for!!! See, he got it for me BEFORE he found out he won all that money, so it means even more to me. It's a double heart pendant shaped like the infinity sign, so it's classy and meaningful. Sigh. I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

I'm also lucky because ever since I've been home, my mom's cooked up a storm. My family's great, and I didn't realize how much I'd missed them until I came back. I don't know what I'd do if I wound up on the west coast for grad school/law school/work. Probably convince them to move there too. I'm also really thankful that they get along so well with Karl, and they frequently take his side when I'm misbehaving or something.

Mom: Karl! No more buy Tiffy gifts! So greedy...
Dad: Tiffany! Stop bothering Karl! He needs to work so that if you get married, he'll have a good job! So annoying...

My parents are convinced that I'm the worst girlfriend in the world. I'm basically the person they'd been afraid I'd date: unproductive, high-maintenance, and annoying. But at the same time, I think they're also grateful that I found someone who forces me to work hard. I wonder what his parents really think of me. I can be really stupid around adults.

By the way, finding out the uncensored version of James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" really changes the whole meaning of the song. Oh! And "V for Vendetta" was worth seeing, though a little disappointing because it lacked adequate plot twists.
