to indulge another wave of nostalgia and missing my family...

us at our cutest at the great wall

we failed at trying to reproduce the wall carving though...

highlight of my night

this'll do, i'm too lazy to retype it

(18:22:53) TiNGsqrd: mwahaha i went to a club last nite
(18:23:06) TiNGsqrd: and as i was on the dance floor, i see the 3 largest people in the club all coming at me...
(18:23:12) This is KenHuang: lol
(18:23:20) This is KenHuang: this is gonna be good
(18:23:27) TiNGsqrd: somehow an intersection of fates brought these large lard bags in my direction at the same time...
(18:23:34) TiNGsqrd: they were each like 3 times my width...
(18:24:04) TiNGsqrd: they all reach me simultaneously, squeezing me between their girth, so i literally POPPED out of them in the opposite direction they were going
(18:24:17) This is KenHuang: uhh
(18:24:18) TiNGsqrd: like with a BACKSPIN at a high velocity
(18:24:18) This is KenHuang: wtf
(18:24:26) TiNGsqrd: i was lucky my friend caught me before i fell over
(18:24:44) TiNGsqrd: no the really wrong thing ..
(18:24:49) TiNGsqrd: i'm not exaggerating at all
(18:24:52) TiNGsqrd: this is a fully true story
(18:24:57) This is KenHuang: wtf
(18:25:45) This is KenHuang: thats quite odd
(18:26:19) TiNGsqrd: i know...
((18:26:31) TiNGsqrd: and the funny thing is, i saw it coming...
(18:26:40) TiNGsqrd: my friend was facing me and he saw my eyes get wide
(18:27:01) TiNGsqrd: i was like omg omg OMG OMG ::POP FALL OVER::
(18:27:19) This is KenHuang: hahaha
(18:28:48) TiNGsqrd: the backspin is what really got me...
(18:28:59) TiNGsqrd: it's just not right..

mull over this one a little while

Dave: Eh you, more papier! ::snapsnap::

Gary: Eh! Bu neng papier!!

*EDIT* ok we're up to 4 out of 31 people who face away!! WOO keep em coming


Alright, so the verdict is in, out of a total 27 people who've answered my question that ends all questions, 2 people have agreed with me that generally facing away from the showerhead is the correct form in the intricate ballet of cleanliness. This means you Gary and Jon!! And as further proof I provide you with historical evidence of said established Fact, kindly provided by Gaoi himself:


To quote the illustrious Gary: "Exhibit A. No words needed."


Alright alright, two out of twenty seven only barely qualifies as proof... but the truth is, I'm very short and if I faced the shower I would drown. Which does not explain how Wen has managed to survive this many years with her life intact... And how can you stand spending a shower staring at the wall?? Explain yourselves all! Don't think you can get off that easily!!

ok this is important to me:

Do you shower facing the showerhead or away from it? Don't ask, just answer!

Aegri somnia -- Ex mero motu

[[no i've forgotten those
words stale and cold
frosted with abuse.]]
~
blue shadows on naked skin
the pre-dawn light trembling outside of time.
as if seeking for just the location of my soul,
your fingertip searches me.

the you that shimmers before me,
blooms in season like the ephemeral flower.
the scent of life in your grasp,
scattering in splendid form.

return to me, as if you were never lost.
you passed like a shadow over the face of the moon.
return here to this waiting hand,
frozen, shivering until we meet again.

when you closed your eyes as if in prayer,
the world disappeared for me into the darkness
but even so, a heartbeat again stirs
searching, for a constrained eternity

rise up to me, flowing swift from the tide of dreams
with grace, to meet and love in gentle repetition.
you, too will find a light held in wait
heart and body forgotten.

staying at gary's =) WOOO

I'm lacking all communication with the world for an indeterminate amount of time =) Why is everything going wrong with the world right now eh??

But yes, I've come to do some maintenance on a campus computer while I have the chance.

The 4th was so great!! Drunken debauchery and drunken stories that I've filed away for my future use since I was pretty much the only sober one likely to remember what I heard =) The highlight was really the beach though... I was determined to shove Aaron into the ocean but he fought me as best he could. Poor guy tho, he really never had a chance :: flexing tiny muscles ::

But yea... I never realized how terrifying it could be to know that you have no way to communicate with people... I tend towards being solitary in any case.. but to have all family in another country, no means to contact people to plan activites, no satisfactory people in your living area, and be unable to drive is really a combination of circumstances designed to cause a mental breakdown.
