my cute nephew on halloween. don't you wanna eat the chubby little dude? awwww...makes me smile when i'm down...



this is the cutest costume ever.

team USA baby...that's right....

me and some of my teammates fucking around at our very last practice in LA before the tournament. notice my short hair for those of who you havn't seen me in ages...it's gone! my glorious locks are gone!!

Women's Team USA 2006 for the World Championships in Taipei, Taiwan held on December 8-10 2006.

the team and some of the younger LA girls that practiced with us. notice that i have a doppleganger on the right side....it's uncanny in photos.

here's us in our warmups.

our first night in taipei when we had to stay up ALL DAY to help our jetlag. this is the team at the night market.




some weird shit at the night market. chinese folk like to drink snake blood and japanese people like to watch.




some vendors in taipei.



here's me with my kantousho award or the "fighting spirit" award. i think it's like honorable mention where they pick from the people who finished in the best 16. despite my poor performance on team, i was the only one that brought something home for our team to make up for it. thank god...




the stadium where we played.




i ended up getting a FAT bruise on my foot, and it got even darker days after this. i don't remember at all when i got it and during which match. i guess the adrenaline was pumping that much....hurt like a bitch afterwards when i discovered it though.




me and some of my teammates at the banquet after the tournament. the guys are from the men's team.

alright...i think that's about it for now.

i need to get my grad school apps in.

i hate the uncertainty.

someone, please help.
