Is there a connection between battered women and cheap Chinese food?

nospam@example.com (Amy Cho) — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 04:34:25 -0400

I was talking to Jaspreet about battered women shelters, since she wanted to volunteer in one, and as I was looking for local shelters, I came up with the following results on Yahoo! Maps:
1) Battered Women's Alliance
2) Next Door
3) Ho Mei Do Chinese Restaurant

Amy: i type in battered women to appear on the maps
Amy: and i get "ho mei do chinese restaurant"???
Jas: the fuck??
Jas: hahahahahhahahahahahahaha
Jas: that's crazy!
Amy: them chinese know how to multitask, eh
Jas: hahaha
Jas: sure do!
Amy: maybe they make the battered women cook chinese food
Amy: i know there's gotta be some human rights issue in there somewhere....
Jas: hahahahaha
Jas: oh my god
Jas: that's hilarious
Jas: hahahahahha
Jas: oh no
Jas: you don't think they "serve" the battered women, do you?
Jas: hahahahhahaha
Jas: gross
Amy: hahaha
Amy: haha
Amy: i was thinking about that tooo
Amy: but would the chinese eat women too???
Jas: you know what they say about chinese people...they'll eat anything and everything...except for salty stuff, of course
Jas:
Amy: hahahahahahahahahaha
Amy: so fucking true
Jas: hahahhahahahahhahaha
Jas: funny
Amy: hahaha ah, shit we're going to hell
Amy: maybe you volunteering will make god happier tho
Amy: send me a postcard when you're up in heaven and i'm in hell
Amy: i hope satan doesn't fucking read other people's mail
Amy: but i think satan would be a prick like that
Jas: you just said "fucking"
Jas: hahahahahahaha
Jas: and i wasn't even provoking you
Jas: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Jas: not so good now, are you?
Amy: actually i added fucking for comedic effect
Jas: the point is, you TYPED it
Jas: doesn't matter what effect you were trying to have
Amy: haha ok fine
Jas: THAT'S RIGHT!
Jas: hahahhhaa
Amy: i guess you were not meant to be a writer
Jas: you know you can't change, Amy
Amy: if you don't care for the effect of words
Jas: stop trying!
Jas: whatever
Jas: i know im' not meant to be a writer
Jas: my vocabulary is so poor
Jas: and i lack imagination
Jas: hahahahahaha
Amy: it's poor because you don't try for variety
Amy: you've got to try
Amy: for instance, make it a point to use "gonorrhea" one day
Amy: then use another word of the day like rambunctious
Amy: or supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Amy: my bad....."supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
Jas: christ!
Jas: is that even a word??

No wonder Yahoo! Maps is calling it Beta...

go away

nospam@example.com (Amy Cho) — Sat, 03 Sep 2005 21:53:05 -0400

This stuffiness nose in my nose just won't go away. It makes me feel like crap. I can't concentrate on my homework this way. There is an irritating THING in my nasal cavity and throat area. I am sleeping the day away, thinking that taking some allery pills, sleeping, and drowning myself in blankets and clothes will make this THING go away. I wear one of my normal t-shirts, not even a baby t-shirt, without a jacket in class just ONCE, and sneeze a few times and I'm fucked for a few days! Goddamnit. I knew that was going to happen. I hate life.

Mango Bowl. SPOON!

nospam@example.com (Amy Cho) — Thu, 01 Sep 2005 00:26:03 -0400

Here is my thing on mango. I was talking to Kimberly L. on AIM.

Chewfung: mmm just ate a mango
Chewfung: you know i had always hated eating mango when i was young
Chewfung: because my mom would cut one half and cut it so it has squares then you pull back on it, and make a flower
Chewfung: i hated eating it directly with my mouth because it was so sticky
Chewfung: only recently did i start eating with a spoon
Chewfung: my mom told my dad to get mangos but then they started going bad and we cut off the bad parts
Chewfung: and then my dad said to eat it with a spoon
Chewfung: and i thought, "Why that's genius!"
Chewfung: why did all of my 20 years of life did i never think of that?
Chewfung: a mango tastes WAY better with a spoon
Chewfung: then i'm left with a sort of husk skin peel
Chewfung: like a mango bowl
Chewfung: and mom said to put jello in it and jello would taste better
Chewfung: that seems pretty cool to me
Kim: hahah
Kim: yea mangos are good
Chewfung: haha
Chewfung: i wonder how durian tastes like
Kim: oh no
Kim: no its gross
Kim: youve smelled it before right ?
Chewfung: i don't think so
Chewfung: i hear my grandmother loves durian
Kim: if you want to try it try not to smell it first, that way you wont be biased against it based on smell
Kim: my parents like it too but i could never try it because of the way i was introduced to it as a child
Chewfung: ooo
Chewfung: wait so it tastes good but smells bad?
Kim: yea , ask uyen she probably knows
Chewfung: ooo so she's a durian lover
Kim: she might be i could see her being one
Chewfung: haha
Chewfung: i kind of see that too
Chewfung: you know it reminds me of drinking bad soups
Chewfung: when i didn't like the taste of it, i would hold my nose so i wouldn't taste it
Chewfung: because a great part of tasting food comes from the smell
Kim: yes exactly
Chewfung: but like if i hold my nose while eating the durian, how am i suppose to taste it
Chewfung: and when it's in my stomach, will i be left with good or bad aftertaste
Chewfung: hmm these are questions to ponder
Kim: haha dont worry, just trust me, you dont want to smell it first
