Sunburnt and Light Hearted

My shoulders are currently a fantastic shade somewhere in between a blushing tomato and raw salmon and have smarted all week long, but you know what? It doesn't even matter. My heart and mind are at an unexpectedly peaceful place right now - just thought that I should make that known before the inevitable fall downhill strikes. The end of this week will mark the end of my freshman year of college. I would like to say some heartfelt things am just happy to have made it in one looking-worse-for-wear-but-still-functional piece. To be honest, the amount of things that I have learned about myself and others is quite alarming, but honest and refreshing (sometimes a little too refreshing, more of a lemon-juice-in-your-cornea-when-you-were-merely-expecting-a-sip-of-ice-cold-lemonade kind of way. But hey, I should just take what I can get, right?) and, most importantly, appreciated. But before the year ends, let's make a few last shout outs - shall we?

蓝白拖

Or "Blue-White Slippers" is a remarkable fellow who blends in and out of the group. Guest appearances, I would say. Just like his namesake, 蓝白拖 is Taiwanese to the max his roots, yet he remains understated in his quiet, practical manner. Not to say that the man is quiet. Because he isn't always quiet (see: his high-pitched, but in a not-obnoxious-or-shrieking-way laughter). But he has demonstrated great capability in being silently considerate- running an errand when you and someone else obviously need a moment alone for some discreet conversation. Great character and interaction development is (hopefully) in store for Mr. 蓝白拖. That is, if he is willing to have us. Should have named him Mr. Congenial.

Vitamin J

Small yet high-powered, Vitamin J can pack an interesting punch of energy. Results may vary - depending on who you are and your relative relationship to her. What research has shown is that the assorted effects from Vitamin J come from what seems to be a highly potent compounds known as Closefriendcircle-anate and Evencloserfamily-erol. Because Vitamin J is a relatively new discovery, not all of her effects are yet known, and thus not every part of her character is yet clear to us. What is known is that sensitivity, warmth, and general empathy can be found in Vitamin J in generous heaps.

I'm tired and nauseated and hungry and cold. FEED ME.
