Rinse and Repeat

I let it happen again.

I thought that by covering myself with my blanket and washing my face repeatedly, I could just wish my obnoxious crying away. But I woke up again with sore and nasty, tear-crusted eyelids. Between the not-so-one-sided arguments of Of fucking course, you're crying again. Who are you going to tell now to comfort you, you attention-whore? and I am so utterly tired again and This time I won't rely on anyone, I realized that I am back to that year again. When I wished that I could go to sleep and never have to wake up to live day by day again. I found it too difficult earlier to get up from my bed and go to the bathroom so that the fan would at least cover up some of gaspy wheezes. But the wretch that I am couldn't even make it to the bathroom (in my tiny apartment), so I just buckled and cried on the floor into Winston (not as effective at silencing me as the bathroom fan probably would have been). Don't worry, Roomie was outside eating, watching the teevee, and Skyping the boyfriend, so I didn't disturb her.

But today, again, Roomie has proved herself to be the best I could have possibly asked for. God bless her. I was silently wishing that she would just sit there and pretend to not look at me convulsing. Mean!me inside my head offered some very strong You just an audience for your pathetic little whines counterarguments. So I held strong (not really a good use of the word here for the emotional goulash that I currently am) and only told Roomie that I was heading out for yoga.

Behold what I returned to find on my desk (in an empty apartment):


What did I ever do to deserve this perfect roommate and friend? Bless her, Jesus. Bless every single one of her fibers. Because I couldn't have imagined a more wonderful person.

Although, I don't want to talk about anything right now with anyone. Because I cannot explain to myself what all is wrong exactly and because I am too mentally exhausted.

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.
