Mental Gymnastics

Because I am terrible at them.

On the other hand, social observations - I am quite the bitch about those. Young Christian butterfly types in college of the Asian variety seem to be stellar at taking pictures of food, each other, and (of course) themselves. It would be terrible if they were all so dressed up and no one caught a photo of them jumping in unison, wouldn't it?

Of course, that isn't to say that I haven't partaken in such photos - everyone, even men, have been a 13 year-old girl once - but somehow I feel like I have the humility to not repeat those photo happenstances. Hopefully. Unfortunately, everytime that I feel like I have dressed up put on more acceptable, feminine clothing and would like to capture happy memories of when I appear decent, I realize that I don't really have gal pals who have the gall to do shameful things like selfies in bathrooms or the sorority squat (the pose girls take usually in the front row of a photo, but can be the entire group if sorority enough. Not a sex position). This is probably an indication of the laudable friends I have.

Note: Not a rant. (I didn't use any particularly colorful language, see?) Just an observation. Maybe a PSA. You know, if you're breeding young Christian butterfly types of the Asian variety. Oh - and watch out for usage of Internet jokes and adorable things at least a month after the Internet no longer cares for such trite things.

P.S. Maybe I've just been too focused on Mai these days, but I think that I may have found my less-catty Masako. Could we exorcise a bitch up in here? Not really kidding because that attitude, although it has been improving, has got to go.

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.
