Anesthesia, Agony

Or you may be more used to "No pain, no gain." Not exactly a direct translation from ancient Greek, but close (read: cool) enough for me.

I forgot to mention, lest I forget by next year, for this year's Valentine's Day, I received candy flowers from an anonymous source. When I came back from class, a bouquet made of rosebuds (two Hershey's kisses stacked flat end to flat end and secured in red saran wrap) on the ends of skewers covered in floral arranging tape was pinned to the bulletin board on my door. To this day, the sender has not revealed their identity (Apparently it wasn't Beth or any of my close-ish friends). Secretly (read: of course), I am very excited to receive anything for Valentine's Day (friendly gifts don't count if everyone gets them). Throughout middle school and high school, NO ONE, not even friends, sent me carnation deliveries or singing Valentines ("And none for Gretchen Wiener me"). A laughable landmark in the hysterical comedy of my life, surely.

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.
