Abandon Ship

College. Just the word stirs the hearts of teenagers. Attending college for only a little over a week, I can honestly say that it might very well be similar to how you may or may not imagined it.

Highly specific. I know.

The truth is, I really can't say. And not in the IknowalreadybutIdon'twantyoutoknow way. I simply have had very few run-ins with the extremely socially-centered groups. A lot of my friends in college are people from my high school (this sounds extremely provincial, but my friends are a group of intellectual/nerdy folk). The few nice people I have met for the first time...well, the one or two people that have introduced themselves to me, we'll see how they all turn out. That sounded shady. We'll see how our relationships turn out? We'll see if they don't shoot me in the face the next time they see me.

As a means of getting back into dance (not to brag, but I like to brag that I have 12 years of dancing experience. I am a diva), I tried the university's Ballroom club's free lessons last night. We learned attempted the waltz and the tango. The club considerately gave everyone mints when we signed in at the door, knowing that in partner dancing, there is very little personal space between yourself and your partner. Mmm. A few of my partners definitely missed the Altoid box. There was a few mysterious cases of wandering hands. Especially from shorter guys. I will soon be auditioning for some other dance groups now that band is no longer owner and  devourer of my soul taking up most of my schedule. Perhaps I shall become fit again. Seeing as how I get to easily excited by the sight of bareskin (roommate says I may have a problem) and wish to observe go swimming soon.

And, I miss bonbon. Missing home - that is another post for another day.

Hammurabi's Code

And other things. Hammurabi's for my etymology paper. The other things are for my friends. It's my genius  fault, really. I REALLY want to make a parallel between the hit show Friends  and my, well, friends. But we soon realized that the pool of characters wasn't enough to cover all of our friends. So, we started collecting more characters from TV show, cartoons, movies, books. Maybe what we need is our own original series. Too bad we don't have an objective third person to use as a narration device. I, as challenged by one of the said friends, will simply serve as the writer for now (let's ignore all of my emotional, delusional. and hormonal baggage that all of my imaginary audience is familiar with from previous posts). Let's start off with the easy ones... _____________________________________________________________________________ Coach Coach - Nick Kent if you're well-versed in the world of sports blogs - as I like to call him, has been a class...

So the conversation with my middle-aged, Chinese father went like so: "I remember the movies that impacted me the most when I first came to America" "Titanic" "No, Charlie " "Dad, what the hell is Charlie? I've never heard of it before?" a low-budget, 90s film perhaps? "nononono...You know the one with the 娃娃(doll) with the scar. Scary" "A doll? You mean Chuckie?" "Yeah. That's what I said. Scary doll, scared the shit out of me" "Really? Did you understand english then?" "哎呀(onomatopoeia of exasperation- aiyah! ) I didn't need to. So. Scary. At first, I watched by myself, but then I was too scared so I convinced your mother to watch it with me. She was pregnant with you at the time, I think. She thought the movie would influence your birth, but I was scared so there were no other options" "...So you risked your firstborn's birth to watch Chuckie?" "...Yes" ...

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 2: Favorite Animal

My darling Bonbon the Chihuahua. Who is more bark than bite. Who hates small children. Who is my favorite 跟屁虫. Who is a small dog in the land of giants. Who does not  shiver or have weird body proportions because she has more dignity than your average Chihuahua. Love of my life.
