I must be addicted to this game here, cuz I play it at least once a day, even at work! To me that's strange.

But in other news, I had a good weekend. I finally got to purchase the Zip drive that I wanted to purchase all Summer. Lucky me, I had some extra scholarship money from this quarter to pay for it. I feel better buying something for my pc with the $ instead of purchasing some stuff at Old Navy or something. I also went out with some of my HS buddies to a UC football game We beat Tulane! :)

Although the game was great, I felt a bit awkward when they picked me up. I am african-american and they're caucasian. I live in a predomitately african-american neighborhood. Actually my neighbors were outside when I was getting in my buddies car, and in my pov they were staring and gawking at me like "Who are they?!" I mean, they are my buddies and all, but for the ones that do know me in the neighborhood, sees me as this wanna-be white girl or something. I really can't explain or rationalize what they think of me- why should I be worried in the first place?

Well, I'll tell you why: I usually get burned for it. I get picked at sometimes cuz I hang with people outside of my race! I got friends of all walks of life, African-Americans, Caucasians, Indians, Pakastanis (forgive me if it's spelled incorrectly), Arabics, Chinese, etc. etc. I am curious about other people's cultures and lifestyles. What's so wrong with that?!

I guess that some people are very uncomfertable with different things and "breaking the mold" from their "boundaries of comfort" in which they live in. Hey, I think that I am pretty different than the average black girl. Maybe God made me this way for a reason. Even my friends tell me that I'm different. When I get around my cousins, I can be looked at as the "black sheep" when compared to the others' and their lifestyles.

But I am glad that I was exposed to diversity when I went to a college preparatory junior/senior high school. I guess that everyone doesn't recieve such an opportunity to experience diversity when they were young.
