唐太宗 can't keep it in his pants

so now I suffer a delayed heartbreak. Also, because I am queen of the overreactionxsensitivity.

Yee boi
Point is, I was rewatching the cartoon show of my childhood (stayed up late nights during holidays to watch as many DVDs full of crappily animated goodness as possible before the Mother would groggily stomp in and shoo me to bed). So the male protagonist (future Tang Taizong) falls in love at first sight with the future Zhangsun Empress because she's beautiful, but she's also scholarly, virtuous, honorable - THE WOMAN OF ALL WOMEN. Which is all well and good until he goes off to war, and she's left being captured by dirty young princes and creeps who all want a piece of dat. Meanwhile, our dear protagonist gets ambushed and trapped on a secluded island with the hawtmama!Turkish girl/assassin/Khan's niece/future wife of future Khan. And of course they fall in love and call each other intimate nicknames and have the time of their young lives on the "island of their dreams." When they get rescued, they go back to the opposing sides of the war...where he runs into the first lovely lady who is taking care of the injured, carrying the wounded from the battlefield to the camp, washing the laundry of the infirmary, cleaning, also known as work not suitable for a lady but apparently the time she spent struggling with the peasants and living day-by-day taught her how much everyone looks forward to halcyon days, the men who attacked her only taught her to become a better person, etc. Anyways, they eventually hook up because the future emperor is instantly moved/falls deeper into love with her - plus, even though she already knows about the Turkish girl, our sweet lady greatly admires the Turk for going through such a tough time with the guy and their feelings for each other are understandable and OHMYGOD HOW UNDERSTANDING CAN ONE PERSON BE. 

 Anyways, as a little girl, I detested the presence of the fictional Turkish girl because she's not real, adds unneeded distraction to the attention of the protagonist, is blonde is very flirtatious and out there and nothing like the sweet Lady Zhangsun. But rewatching brought up questions with the older!/notmuchmoremature!me who wonders Can you love more than 1 person in one lifetime? Shouldn't I respect the Turkish girl for going what after what she wants? awejhlawi iuhgrnpzdfp awiguthweguaweoghahweogoawheg;ahw??? Isn't it alright to love someone who loves/has loved someone else? AFAUHWEFQ;APOWREGI OAWIEGFHAOWEIAWEAQWEOGWGAWGOAWEGH???????????????????

 Roomie thinks that I have suffered a complete mental breakdown. She is probably correct. 

 Growing older means learning that there really is no omniscient/omnipotent. Sigh, Dumbledore. Also, deus ex machina becomes less acceptable by the day. 
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE LET ME KEEP MY DELUSIONAL LITTLE GIRL FANTASIES?

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.
