Congratulations to Susan (Asilwen) for winning the Mashi-Xanga Wildcard contest--an extra shot at the premium grand prize! That means we have two winners this month for our (now monthly) Mashi-Xanga awards: Jackie and Susan! All girl winners you ask? It must be a coincidence; I mean, I don't give girls an advantage just because they're cute and sweet and lovable..! Anyways because xanga.com's premium service has been down (I sent them my evaluation), my entries have been delayed two days. So prepare for a long but enjoyable entry, filled with pictures! 44+ Pictures in this Entry

Double entry today: 39 pictures from barbeque and drinking/birthday party (both), the winner of Xanga Wild Card, and people wearing coconut bras and passing out. Oh and these pictures are just between you and me, right? So, first off let me just say, Chris Tam and Andrew Huang are on the shit-list for ditching me at both events, especially when I spent two days training them at volleyball--they're just too reluctant, apathetic--wait, I know: too fucking lazy. I don't know why I invited them when there were so many other people. So fuck you guys for first--expressing interest in going, and second, for walking away and ignoring me at MIT. Don't even bother commenting bitch asses; next time I see Andrew Huang, I'm punching him in the throat. Excuse my foul language, but I don't tolerate this kind of crap, and no one should for that matter.

Sunday: Which barbeque is it? Is it this one with the group all the way in the back near the basketball court...

Or this one, to the right, with golf and barbeque chicken and parents?

Belmont & AAC Barbeque at Watertown Well it was the first one, after Derek and I--first wounded up in Dorchester because he took a random 86 bus outside Harvard Yard, since he "just wanted to sit down." 1 hour 40 minutes late and $5 on bus fare, we got to the Arsenal Mall in Watertown for the BBQ. Everything else aside (esp. Derek's comments), I enjoyed the barbeque--maybe it wasn't like an African-American Family Barbeque--but got to play some volleyball, meet Will & Connie, and the view wasn't that bad either, right? (Thanks Derek for missing Dim-Sum and going with me! Appreciate it man.)

There was also Fang, Yitao, Marina, and Annie who came by later. After the barbeque, Derek and I took the bus back to Central, and walked back to Harvard Yard. That story, is coming up later (Thanks Connie! I owe you guys 1 hotdog and 2 sodas.)

When I was going home at Harvard Square, I saw this guy who used spray-paint to create art. It reminded me of Photoshop so I stuck around and you know what this guy can do?

Johnson Tran's 16th Birthday Hawaiian Barbeque:

First off, thank you Johnson for the best birthday party I have ever been to! This picture is our little ASIA committee. Left to Right: Johnson, Wendy, May, Nellie, and that's me sitting down. Don't worry, the guys helped me with my saggy breasts afterwards; they were, very, very eager.

Wait, before that birthday party (2 hours before): we were at the MIT student center and played pool with our new friend Raymond. Here is the not-so-advanced method of getting a free pool game there, by catching the balls and stashing them later (it's coin-operated).

Now that's some good use of VISA pamphlets. Derek sure knows his mechanical engineering. Don't worry, you're going to hell too Derek.

Wait, that's the wrong picture: we're getting way ahead of the story here. Heheh, so! Johnson had the finest barbeque and food--thanks to his wonderful family--on his patio. The theme was a Hawaiian Lua (as mentioned in the email)--and the tikki torches, sea netting, clam bras (yes, I loved those), hula skirts, jumbo shrimp--they reaffirmed his promise. And boy did we have fun. Here are some pictures:

Alright, maybe I took this one in front of the torch "on purpose," but let me make it up to you:

That's (Left to Right) Wendy and May .. looking good! If you look down from Johnson's porch, there's at least a 30-foot drop so we didn't play volleyball, but still:

Lots of food. (Don't worry May I airbrushed the meat snags in your teeth ^-^) What I ate .. what did I eat?

40 pieces of sushi, 2 spoons of Wasabi; 15 beef-kabobs and 5 jumbo shrimp kabobs; Vietnamese noodles and seafood on sugarcane; Italian sausages and fried shrimp, tons of soda ... and! The most scrumptious strawberry chocolat/mousse cake .. ::muuahz!:: I <3 you chocolate cake!

You, want me, to wear this thing? Don't make me point my beef-kabob stick at you!

Hmm, feels kind of comfortable and jungle-like. Grass skirts! That's Jonathan from MIT next to me. The skirt fits well but looks really weird when you're sitting down!

How YOU doing, Wendy's legs? Heheheh... oh haha May took this, it wasn't me!

Johnson has the coolest relatives! "Oh, you have to make sure it's extra-tight."

Yeah, Mr. 16th Birthday is getting the hang of those.

And May is getting a hand, wait--both hands! On my goodies, heh.

Here's me and Wendy! Oh, hold on, let me readjust these things.

Oh my, hehe, please girls (and *cough* guys), give James some space!

That's Wendy with a grass hula skirt and ...

Here's us again! This would be around 8p.m. A shame those two girls had to go, before the "real" birthday party started.

Jonathan's parents aren't going to be too happy. ^-^

Hey that's Bobby at the computer .. now what did you guys find?

Uh-oh! Well at least my man is no longer an adolescent.

Don't worry this was parent supervised and no one really got hurt. (Owned!)

Heh hilarious day; we were all looking for the Absolut bottle cap, but couldn't find it. This girl just got some rubber-bands and shoved it into her sack.

Pretty good music, and they had glow-sticks! Johnson started mumbling stuff to me but called me a raver, heh.

How many did our Nellie drink? Well half my stash was missing, so it'd be probably 6-8, maybe 11. Well, the thing was, I wasn't drunk! I didn't touch a single drop at the party. Me and Johnson's mom were probably the only sober persons there. But I had to act drunk otherwise they'd start initiating me or something. And it was true, since Jonathan and Monty started putting alcohol in my Mountain Dew. But I was really sweating and red from DDR upstairs:

Hey rave dog! This is me taking a pic with the dog..

This symbolizes all the fun and excitement I had at Saturday's BBQ Birthday party.

I brought some souvenirs home too! Well since I don't drink, I gave two to Alex and Kha in the Harvard bathroom--so they can get a "buzz" before their final exams. Damn, I brought some "drinks" to the Belmont/AAC barbeque since I thought there was going to be a volleyball tournament, and I needed to make some girls drunk to win or something. Anyways!

Happy Birthday Johnson! We'll be sure to wake you up and flush out your fluids, but later. Happy 16th!

WAIT! Since Janet has been posting cute poses of herself, it's only natural for me to post pics of myself too! And I hope these pics are much hotter than hers, right ladies?

Marina's been talking smack about these entries not having "much to respond to.." so like 44 pictures later--can you find something to say about each? ^-^

Here's something more you can think about: I have the biggest crush on ... (wonder if I should make this a contest)

Clue 1: She is someone on my AIM buddy list: "Active List"

Clue 2: Doesn't violate the two-year rule.

Clue 3: She is top 5 on the 103+ girls list.

Clue 4: She has hair that isn't short.

++ -- now that may seem easy to some girls who probably have an idea, but! I like 103+ girls, so that makes a big list...

Well that's it for today! I'm going for a jog in Brookline; tootles!

<3 James -- Hey call me if you know about any drinking parties, or if you wanna hook up hehe.

Cell: 617.306.3533 (always on! except .. I told this to Alex: except when I'm at a drinking party or in a subway tunnel > . <)
