Breakslow
Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard. I think I was born in the wrong generation. I'm such a grandma. My aunt, however, is ahead of technology. After she got an iPad she's been assuming the whole world is touch operated. An option to select [Yes] appeared on my desktop monitor and she touched it and asked me if my monitor was broken because nothing was happening. -_-;;
Last thing--if you're an animal person, these are too cute, so go squeal for a few minutes. Those puppies though... :')

Premonition
I still smell like garlic. Happy April to us all even though we've agreed that this month is cursed.
Wow.
I always read articles like these and wonder why the types of people that write them are so rare in real life because I think we could be friends. Peace not war.

But black
This is the biggest blueberry I've ever seen in my life. It's bigger than a grape, but it's kind of hard to tell because all of the other blueberries are larger than normal as well. I think I post these types of pictures too often. I'm starting to realize I have a strange obsession with abnormally large fruits.

Audience hall
Spontaneous adventure. "Look at your lettuce thing!"
...it was a pretty good lettuce thing though. Who knew there would be so many homeless people in such a upscale neighborhood. Is it odd that I think homeless people add flavor to the world? Because they do and I like it.

Phase in
Not going to lie, I teared up.
Or more like...
It's always nice to know that people believe in your abilities. I promise to work harder. I won't let you down! :')

Civil rights CBP SFO
There's no point in filing a formal complaint because nothing is going to get done, I travel fairly often, and I don't want to end up on some "high risk" list, but I haven't stopped thinking about this, so let me share my contempt:
Walked up near CBP agents.
Tried to read sign. Started heading towards the left.
Heavy-set CBP agent glared at me, made a rude noise, and thew up his hands.
"Oh come on!" he exclaimed impatiently, rolling his eyes.
"Oh, is it okay if I..."
Approached heavy-set CBP agent.
He grabbed the paper out of my hand.
"You can go in."
"Huh?"
"You can go in. Shay-shay."
"Wait, do you mean to the lobby or inspection?"
"Shay-shay, you can go in." he stated in an irritated tone of voice while pointing his grubby finger at no obvious destination.
"So... I can leave?"
"Go right. Shay-shay," getting noticeably angrier.
I left.
Unbelievable.
The older I become the less patience I have for impudent behavior. I'm kicking myself in the head for not demanding a name and badge number. This doesn't do much for my faith in humanity.

Pith
Just because.
Is anyone else addicted to 2048? Because I'm addicted to 2048. In reality, addicted would be an understatement at this point. -_-

Potted plant mint chocolate chip ice cream (can anyone tell that's not my hand?). Creativity at it's finest. It's the small things in life... :')

Graffiti day
The more you get to know someone the more fault you will find in them. If you've known someone for a long time and can find no fault in them it means they're perfect. Do you know how rare this is? It's nearly non-existent. I prefer talking to random strangers for short amounts of time because these people are typically pleasant throughout the duration of the exchange. Does this mean I live in a disillusioned world where everyone is nice? Yes, but it's so much easier to get through each day pretending that these types of people exist don't you think?
But honestly, I want to go home to my boring life.

Picture perfect
A bit of this, a bit of that... One with nature and such.
If I could take years off of my life to give to an old man/woman that has something to look forward to in his/her life, such as grandchildren and their accomplishments, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Zebra, no stripes
I don't exactly understand why my airplane ticket was turned into some schizophrenic Picasso masterpiece. Note the random star on the side. I honestly don't think circling everything will make me comprehend it any better. Anyway, it's still a little bit weird that I'm here right now. I feel like I'm having an out of body experience.

Good grief
Sorry, I couldn't bring myself to listen to her singing more than once, so this might not be accurate. I broke my rule and I had to do this in two takes because the door opened by itself. Murderers everywhere. Anyway... thanks for always supporting me through every crazy idea that I come up with and of course being great in general. Hopefully you feel my love though this. Happy birthday buddy. :)
Wild
Because yes. :)
America is so stupid. Why can't people keep the money that they make? Ugh. April 15.

Telecommunication
This is what we do... invade rich areas to take pictures of city lights and then run away before they start thinking we're trying to steal something. I don't really like the picture quality. I didn't have time to set my aperture because this patrol car was making its rounds and we were afraid of confrontation.

Subdue
I've kind of been off the grid recently. My friend said that I was in my "dark ages" again and when I told my other friend that I was in my "dark ages" she said that she wanted to sew me a black hooded cape. That's definitely necessary in life. Anyway, this is what I've been busy doing:
A. Understanding that the way I value friendship is different than the majority of the world
B. Accepting that most people don't really care about anything further than their left foot
C. Knowing that the saying, "Treat others the way you want to be treated" always applies, but never expecting reciprocation because it's not going to happen 99% of the time
D. Realizing that some people are not meant to be held too close, but being okay with that
E. Readjusting my priorities to those that value relationships in ways that are similar to me
F. Being thankful for the difficult people I've encountered in life because they've shown me exactly what I don't want to become
G. Appreciating the people that remain and continually help me grow
180. I'm really happy with the way things are right now (personal development-wise). I've learned a lot about myself this past month and I've met some scintillating people that have really opened my eyes in terms of understanding myself and those around me. There really is no amazing decisive conclusion that I've come to--rather, it's more of a shift in mentality, but this is probably the way I should have been approaching life to begin with because there's less pain and devastation involved. Of course, I chose the longest way possible to arrive at this point. It's probably because I like pain and devastation... said no one ever.

Inspiration
If you're going to do something do it to the best of your ability. There's no point in doing things half-heartedly if you have to do them regardless. Never give up on something that you think about every day.

Rendezvous
HAHA this is great.
I cut my hair yesterday, but my bangs are kind of short. I didn't notice how much I had cut until this fool lifted all of my hair out of the trashcan and said, "Oh my god, this is like a head!"
Financial seminar ice breaker: Describe your life in two words.
Majority response: "Determined, goal-oriented, successful, etc."

Hey Confucius, remember when you told me, "You don't have to like everyone, you can just like parts of them"? What happens if I can't find any part that I like? Would it be fair if I disliked everyone equally?

Entrance fee
People have this narcissistic tendency of assuming I'm writing about them. I'm usually not--unless it's blatantly obvious. I do, however, talk about problems that exist in our society as pertains to the general public and my struggling to deal with them because there are a lot of conflicting behavioral and cognitive juxtapositions that I don't understand. Most times I don't even understand myself and how I truly feel in regards to certain people or situations because I insist that everything is fine when it's probably not. I guess I blog to figure things out. Want to know what else I don't understand?
...why this lovely number decided to die in front of the door. I screamed three different times because I kept forgetting it was there. I wonder if our neighbors actually look at their surveillance footage because that would be embarrassing... What am I supposed to do with it? Can you throw these things in the trash can? I had a friend that threw her rats in the trash can, so maybe this is okay?
I think I'm starting to like him because for once in my life I don't have to try so hard to desperately hold on to something. I don't know if this is a good enough reason...

Jealousy
This idiot started screaming bloody murder out of nowhere, so we ran to him because we thought he was in distress. In reality what happened was that he bit a hole in his blanket and got his leg stuck in it. If that's considered distress...
I think these are the last photos (that I want to share) from my trip. I can't believe it took me three months to finish this. I guess I wasn't particularly diligent.
Eat some pi today. Ha. Ha. Ha. Okay I'll go.

Glare
Does anyone actually do any of these? Well, except for 29 because everyone does that. Go read those if you want to waste your life. I recently learned of the term "ratchet" and my sister told me that the now trending song is called #selfie. It literally has a hashtag in it. My cousin told me that the previous trending song was called What does the fox say? which is equally ridiculous, but kind of catchy even though I don't like to admit it. Anyway, word on the street is I'm pretty hip and happenin'--not really, but I like to pretend.
We attempted to run two miles last night... it didn't go too well. Both of us were having difficulty breathing. It's so much easier to be out of shape. :(

Parenthesis
"Connecting with others under stress creates resilience." I think this is true though. It's better for me to talk things out with an assortment of people because it provides more insight. However, there are certain people that are better with certain problems, so I tend to go to different people for my career/future, relationship, friend, etc. problems, which is also good because then I won't dump all of my problems onto one person. Of course there are those rare people that know exactly what to say in every circumstance and therefore have the misfortune of hearing about all of my struggles regardless of topic.
This is a really good article. I agree with most of it. Society expects everyone to have their lives together all the time. It's exhausting. Come on people, no one knows what they're doing--myself included. You kind of just go with it and live. Think about it this way, if you question someone like this:
"Why did you go to high school/college/professional school?"
"To get a degree."
"Why did you want that degree?"
"Prestige/start a family/success."
"Why?"
"..."
In the end it's the same. Everyone turns into dirt. It doesn't matter and no one cares. Go do something that you like. If there's nothing that you like then go do something that doesn't make you miserable. Stop doing things because you think that you should and do them because you truly want to. I learned that one the hard way.
I wonder if it's possible to drug people with oxytocin. I hear it makes people more compassionate and caring. We could use more of that in this world.

Loofa
I'm starting to assume everyone is having sex, doing drugs, and is gay until proven otherwise. I kind of like how it's so liberal here that it's become the norm and no one cares--the majority at least. Not going to lie, I do wonder about some people. My curiosity is burning. People in our society are pretty reserved when it comes to these topics mostly because it's uncomfortable to talk about. I mean, I can't just go around asking people, "Excuse me, are you engaging in sexual activity?" because they'll look at me like I just said Voldemort. Then another problem arises.. How am I supposed to respond if they say yes? "Do you like it?" -_-
This is so cute. I'm dying.

Yours or mine
I just thought I should inform you guys that gmail resets their email count every 100 emails and Charmin's toilet paper is shrinking in width.
This is what I get for trying to be a good Samaritan and recycle. I cut myself on a can and am probably going to die from Tetnus. I had a bandage on it, but I didn't notice it fell off. I was trying to explain something to someone today and I thought, "Hmm... that's odd why are there these weird orangey marks on the pap--OHHhh..." Gross.
I hope no one is offended. I only realized how many people support me on a daily basis after I came out of my dark hole and I am very grateful. :')

Butterscotch
"You probably haven't realized this, but I think the problem is you haven't played guitar in four days..."
Mind blown.
How do you understand me like this?
It turns out I didn't need two months to figure things out. It's good that perhaps I'm not as stupid as I initially thought (even though I'm still stupid regardless) because it saves a lot of time. I couldn't do it. I didn't even last 24 hours. It's not in my nature to treat people this way. I couldn't bring myself to do that to the people that go out of their way to make sure I'm alive and not in turmoil.
I never mention names on here, but I don't really know how else to phrase this and he knows already so... In retrospect, the concept is synonymous to the whole Andrew thing, which was essentially a drawn out, masochistic relationship on my end. I need to be better at applying things I've learned from mistakes I've made in the past. I shouldn't have to make exceptions and I shouldn't have to keep convincing myself that things are okay if I'm not okay with them. I really do try to be an understanding person, but this has been a recurring issue and quite frankly the only reason it happens again and again and again is because of my leniency towards people in terms of behavior that I find unacceptable. So, I've come to the conclusion that it's not okay and I'm not going to put up with it anymore. Everyone has things that they refuse to compromise. I really need to be honest with myself, so that I can try to be more honest with other people.
And that's it! I'll stop talking about this now and try to be more entertaining. Hopefully you guys have learned through me, which eliminates the necessity of first hand experience, but if you already knew then my bad... I already said I was stupid.
Mind blown.

Absolution
I wonder if I really have anyone. Normal people probably rely on family in times of need. I think that I've been trying to create some sort of family for myself which is why I tried so hard... For a long time I've tried not to have expectations and I've been telling myself that I would stop initiating things, but I haven't stopped either activity because it's what I'm used to doing. I'm always the one trying and it's hard to break out of that habit. I'm having difficulties understanding whether or not people care and I think it's hurting more than helping and if families are typically this way then maybe it isn't what I'm looking for after all.
I've decided to establish a moratorium. A time out of sorts. I don't know what I want and I think I need to provide a clear definition of what I feel is acceptable or unacceptable behavior devoid of bias or exception. Therefore, I've decided not to initiate anything with anyone for two months, from tomorrow until May 3rd, in hopes that I'll figure it out. What that means is that during these two months I'll probably only be talking to 5-7 people because as depressing as this is, only 5-7 people talk to me on their own accord (this doesn't include grocery shopping or whatever, obviously--and hopefully these 5-7 people will understand my reasoning behind being a jerk temporarily and forgive me, but this is something I need to do for myself). Then I've decided that I'll be leaving and gone for a while, so I guess it might be longer than that.
Relinquish.

Dissolution
I try to be strong, but I've become soft without the physical and mental strain that had constantly been inflicted upon me. I can't hold everything in anymore. I've been in denial. I try to understand. I give people excuses. I pretend things don't bother me, I pretend I don't get hurt, I pretend I don't feel pain, but I do. We all do. I wish I could be able to be honest with negative emotions. I wish I could be direct. I want to start a sentence with, "It really hurts when..." but I can't and I torment myself instead. I guess I never wanted to admit it because it made me feel vulnerable. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not immune to this and the emotion that I had once deemed as frustration was, in reality, hurt. In every instance when I would say, "I'm so frustrated" what I actually meant was, "It hurts." The difference is that frustration is easier to handle because you don't cry as much. I've never been so disgusted. The fact that I've been able to live with lying to myself for so long is truly amazing. Amazingly repulsive.
I think I'm paying for it now. Welcome to purgatory. I keep thinking about my childhood, friendships, relationships, etc., recognizing how painful certain events were, and then tears. I started sleeping on a towel because there's no point. I have about twenty years to cycle through. That's really quite a lot of water and we're in the middle of a drought right now...
I feel like I'm paralyzed.
I'm only human.

Compile thoughts
I have a dream... that one day this will happen. Ugh, people... it would be really creepy if it were really like that though because I'm so used to squeezing through everyone there.
Everyone thinks you're the most harmless person on Earth, so they end up trusting you, but I don't. I think you're manipulative and have a hidden agenda and I'm going to figure it out Sherlock Holmes style if it's the last thing I do. Don't think your ways will escape me just because you're old.. I'm on to you.
I think I made a mistake. I should have gone into business administration since I've always had such an obsession with making money. Selling ramen under my desk since '94 ...or whatever the year was when I was in third grade.
Well this is reassuring... I'll probably get murdered tomorrow at this rate.

Chips and blood
I feel like I've posted this one already... The only album I've ever purchased from iTunes.
I'm afraid I won't wake up, so I'm just going to stay awake. Day two is easier than day one, but that's mostly because I went to ujam today. I kind of just started dragging my body around at the end because I was feeling really delusional. I'm praying that I'll be able to function tomorrow, but I guess we'll see what happens.
What is this world we live in where people strive solely for money, status, and power? We should be ashamed of ourselves.

Commitment calendar
There aren't that many reasons to get married. Theoretically people can go through their lives being "partners" and have children and it shouldn't make a difference, but people do get married for several reasons, one being security for fear of their partner running away--though if you need to take such drastic measures chances are they're going to end up running away anyway. It's a means of security as well as social consent for couples to have sex because otherwise you're just a filthy whore. I guess the last reason would be money/citizenship/government benefits? I can't think of any more reasons, but if you already have a good relationship marriage can strengthen it. Just saying.
This is funny! I've never thought about villains like this before, but it's true. I watched Pocahontas last night. I don't remember John Smith having so many corny lines: "I would rather die tomorrow than live 100 years without meeting you."

Collected dust
I flipped open my elementary school yearbook and I realized that everyone in my class was white. It's very interesting though... the mind of a child. I never really paid much attention to the fact that they were white when I was younger, but when I opened up my yearbook and looked down that was the first thing I noticed, which was kind of shocking. Getting older ruins you.
Red - guys that I liked (I was scandalous, I know. You should read my old journal entries)
Blue - best friends
Purple - people I didn't like... 2/3 of them had too many boogers

Crash dummy
I have this friend that I've known since middle school and we were incredibly close until college happened and we started drifting apart. Of course you're all thinking "Duh, no one talks to middle school friends anymore" but I tend to hold on to people worth holding on to and most of my closer friends are from that time mostly because I don't know why anyone would have wanted to be my friend then, yet they were, so I'm biased... though I guess most people typically don't like previous versions of themselves... then again I haven't figured out if I like the current version of myself either...
Anyway, I'm not sure if it's because she started hanging around a scandalous alcohol princess or if it's because she started dating this...... sigh, as long as she's happy... or if it's because she was at a cc when the rest of us left to universities, but the drifting has progressed to a point of no return--Pangaea status. I've really been trying to figure out what happened and if there was one decisive moment that drove the Titanic into the iceberg, but I can't pinpoint the origin of destruction. I don't really think we can go back to how we were because we've become different people. It's not that I don't like her or don't care because I really do and I wish that we could be as close as we used to be, but realistically it's not going to happen. I've tried, though admittedly half-hearted, but I don't feel compelled to be around her because when we hang out it feels like a sad interrogation. There's nothing to talk about. It's almost uncomfortable. I'm tired of feeling like I need to struggle to sustain/revive our friendship. As I always say, there's no point in interacting with anyone unless you're happier than when you're alone. Doctors can only give CPR for so long... It's time to call it. Time of death, 7:02pm 02/21/2014.
I think that the fundamental problem is her fixation on the person I was in the past and inability to adapt to the person that I've become. It makes me sad to know that if I met her now we probably wouldn't be friends. Our friendship has been dying a slow death these past five years, so this is my acknowledgement of that death/goodbye post to my friend that doesn't even use social media. Thank you for laughing so hard when my pants fell off when we were scooter-ing, drinking unhealthy amounts of energy drinks with me, and saving my arse so many times/always being there for me back in the day.
Anyway, I'm not sure if it's because she started hanging around a scandalous alcohol princess or if it's because she started dating this...... sigh, as long as she's happy... or if it's because she was at a cc when the rest of us left to universities, but the drifting has progressed to a point of no return--Pangaea status. I've really been trying to figure out what happened and if there was one decisive moment that drove the Titanic into the iceberg, but I can't pinpoint the origin of destruction. I don't really think we can go back to how we were because we've become different people. It's not that I don't like her or don't care because I really do and I wish that we could be as close as we used to be, but realistically it's not going to happen. I've tried, though admittedly half-hearted, but I don't feel compelled to be around her because when we hang out it feels like a sad interrogation. There's nothing to talk about. It's almost uncomfortable. I'm tired of feeling like I need to struggle to sustain/revive our friendship.

Dinner... because I am lazy.
Also, my friend got me in the mood for Jack Johnson, so you guys can join me~
I'll post something more interesting sometime soon, but my words are irrelevant because most people go to blogs to look at pictures anyway.

Crimson apple
I think I need to start working out again because my health is on an exponential decline. I lift up my arm to brush my teeth and then I have no energy to do anything else in life.
I love this! I was lego obsessive in my childhood years... that and educational computer games. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? :)

Candy crunch
Where was this song when I needed it?! Wow those lyrics though... Spot on.
This is kind of cool. I think there are a lot of words in Asian languages that don't have an English translation. Sometimes I want to say something, but the perfect word is in another language and I get frustrated.
No news is good news... or so they say.
Good grief. Valentine's day. -_-

Cringe worthy
Well, Groupon thought that I looked like I needed a facial this morning, which is always an encouraging way to start the day. Unfortunately, I can't seem to disagree as I've been comparatively dry and wrinkly as of late, so perhaps I should purchase this after all. Sneaky marketing tricks... I should make coupons for dark eye circle treatment and send them to people at 5:00am on a Monday morning. Brilliant right? In a parallel universe my name is Sleeve Javs and I created Pear.
Hash tag domesticated life. I kind of miss drying clothes like this. I hope my friend doesn't mind me posting pictures of his clothes... at least you can't see my underwear. Don't enlarge the picture you crazy people.

Crisis
I'm tempted to buy gta five because these days I've been wanting to become a mobster and throw people out of their cars, but then I see the price and decide that punching a wall is equally effective. Hash tag poor person life. I also heard that KH2.5 is coming out soon, so that's exciting. Alright, no one cares, so here's a picture.
It's that time of day. I guess I should go put on some clothes...
The one time I got a chance to sit down and take a proper photo.

Crippled
I just thought I should take this opportunity to share my struggles with you guys:
My computer person is in the city and ignoring my calls. I seriously don't know how these computer science/engineering people do it. I've been sitting here downloading things while trying to learn code for the past five hours and I don't seem to be getting anywhere. I cannot believe that I canceled plans to get this thing done and I'm no better off than when I began, so you know what?
This stupid black command box thinks it knows everything. Error file not found? THEN LOOK HARDER. Ugh, bring out the crowbar. What kinds of people even own those things aside from mobsters and carpenters though? Just saying. STRESS!

Creative
I remember a while ago someone accused me of being very fast to give up on relationships. ...it depends. ALSO, you can't use any previous boyfriends as examples because sometimes (okay, often) I'm very stupid and decide to date any male creature that exhibits any ounce of kindness towards me. -_-
First of all let me clear this up, I don't think that I give up per se, rather I have to convince myself to let go. I think that one of my greatest obstacles is the fact that I grow attached to certain things or people and it's very difficult for me to force myself to stop caring about them even when they make me feel like some sort of pariah and are incontestably detrimental to my health because I begin to engage in mentally self-destructive behaviors when I should be focusing on more salubrious activities. Perhaps the solution to all of my problems is to establish some sort of moratorium for thinking in general.
Anyway, my second point, I will fix what is broken if it is worth fixing. But honestly, I think the things I would fight for now would never break to begin with. In the past, I tried to fix everything because I had to be a crazy problem solving everything-has-to-fit-into-a-tidy-box type of person and I ended up wasting a lot of time, so I have learned--and am continually learning--when to stop. Older and wiser? Hopefully, but mostly just older.

Something about this picture makes me happy and I don't know what it is. I didn't take this while trying to be a creeper... You're supposed to focus on the plants and not that couple in the background. -_- If only money trees could produce real money...

Crescent
I think I'm in the middle of some sort of identity crisis. I've been trying to figure out if I talk a lot naturally or if talking a lot was a subsequence of my attempt to become a more outgoing person back in high school. Every time I'm nervous or in an uncomfortable situation I tend to talk and laugh uncontrollably. It's probably good that I haven't crossed the line towards being a psycho and no one can tell that I'm incredibly uncomfortable most of the time... unless they can and I'm disillusioned. -_-
Oh my gosh, these are great. I couldn't stop laughing at the centrifuge one because that's precisely why I run it at 1500rpm.
I honestly think a giant piece of cracker flew up my nose because I can't stop sneezing. Okay, I'm done here.

Crispy
Yesterday when I went grocery shopping some random guy whistled and smiled at me. While I would have typically found this type of behavior repulsive, I kind of appreciated/needed it, so I smiled back. Scandalous aren't I? Recently I've been feeling like I can't do anything right and that anything I touch will end in disaster. My friend insulted my guitar playing as a joke, but guitar is probably the one thing in life that I actually take seriously, so that made me rather depressed. That and the fact that I've been thinking about the many things that have gone wrong in the past, so everything kind of snowballed and here I am crying over a sad movie that wasn't even that sad. I just want to do laundry without my tears and boogers flying around everywhere, is that so much to ask for? I'll probably get over myself in a few days, but for now I kind of just want to suffocate myself in my blankets.
I want to drink this again...

Last...
I've gotten so lazy that I don't even want to chew anymore. Every day I throw a a bunch of vegetables into my Vitamix and call it a day. I have no idea why I have no energy all the time. Life is too exhausting, I need someone to breathe for me. The rain is a nice change of pace. Very refreshing. I love rainy days spent indoors.
I really don't like noodles, but WOW. If all ramen tasted like this I would eat it every day.
P.S. I'm only halfway done updating about my trip... if you guys are getting sick of this you have to let me know or else I'm just going to keep posting these pictures.

Lens
I think I have this disease where I feel like I need to accomplish everything in the amount of time that it takes my washing machine to wash my clothes. I have a tendency to procrastinate on household chores, but once I put my clothes in the washing machine I try to take out the trash, vacuum, blog, paint the house, and conquer the world within 25-30 minutes as if my life were about to end.
I really like this haircut on guys, but it only works if they have a strong jawline or else they'll just look like wilted pineapples.

The moment you have all been waiting for...
I'm just kidding it's not that great. One take because I'm a lazy piece of crap as usual, but as promised... here is a semi-legit video. It's a slow song, so I don't know if it counts, but it's one of my favorites. I'll post a faster song if I become less of a lazy person... ha. ha. ha.
Here's something profound because this post needs some balance.

Little days
This is a giant tuna.
My friend was nice enough to wake up at 7:00am and take me to a fish market. I'm such a horrible person. Slightly related...
Angry fish.

Lentil chips?
When people say things like "I think about you a lot..." my initial reaction is to be touched, but after I come to my senses I get irritated because I think that something should follow that statement. I need evidence. For example, "...therefore I sent you a cheesy email" or "...so I think we should talk/hang out more often" at least, that's what I would normally do. Maybe I'm abnormal because I try not to think about people unless I'm in contact with them--well, there are four or five exceptions, but that's because they're special; but then again I'm always in contact with them so... I'm a skeptical person. It's difficult for me to believe that people that don't bother to say hi even remember that I'm alive, much less care about my existence. It's easier for me to believe that they don't. Whether or not this is true... well... it doesn't matter.
I made sukiyaki the other day. Ahh... my mind is still on vacation.

Left heel
Side story: fancy restaurant
Attractive slippers that I stole from a previous plane. I don't know why that was necessary.
I watched both Mulan and Mulan 2 last night and a blood vessel in my left eye popped. Watching Disney movies makes me so counterproductive. I'll be washing dishes and suddenly I'll feel a strong desire... "BE A MAN! Swift as a coursing river~" I don't know why Disney markets Mulan as an Asian princess when she was, in reality, just a cross dresser that saved China. However, it's kind of refreshing that they decided to portray her as a self sufficient, strong, female character because all the white girls just lose shoes and sleep. I'm probably delusional. I'm going to go, bye.

Laughter
First of all, let me just say that I couldn't believe they had ice cream vending machines because--what?! It's probably good that America hasn't decided to integrate these lovely contraptions into society or else our obesity pandemic would surge exponentially though I guess it's already surging due to the abundance of drive through fast food restaurants... Anyway, not all vending machines are created equally.
This was the one at the train station that had a camera and would personalize drink selection based upon the physical attributes of the person standing in front of it. Pretty unique right? Of course it suggested that I select drinks with 0 calories. When even robots are telling you... -_-

Lentor
I arrived at the airport and I went into crazy panic mode because I didn't know where my friend was and the wi-fi wasn't working and my cellular outgoing calls were turned off. I could only text, but I knew how long one text would take to send. I tried to calm down, so I changed money and attempted to used a payphone, which I'm apparently not very good at because it ate ten dollars, but I was still unable to get through to my friend. I didn't know what to do, so I wandered around and finally found the information desk and asked the lady if she could call my friend for me. As with all protocol procedures they're not supposed to be useful in times of need, so of course she said no. I went back to the waiting area near the payphones and sat in dismay until I jumped up and FOUR LETTER WORD. I had no idea where my suitcase went. I backtracked to all of the places I had previously visited and arrived back at the information desk and tried to ask them if they'd seen my suitcase. The employees had changed shifts and the new ones weren't particularly competent in the English language. Our conversation went down like a charades game between drunken idiots where I was repeatedly drawing a large square and pretending to drag it around. I kept saying 'red' in their native language, but they probably just thought I liked the color. -_- I gave up, said thanks, and continued my circling around the airport until I finally saw a lonely red suitcase. Reunited at last. I figured no one would want to steal my underwear anyways.
Things started going right after I found my luggage. I got the payphone to work, used a hot coffee vending machine, and my friend came to save me from my misery. Speaking of vending machines... No, that's a whole other story.

50% of my time was probably spent on this lovely mode of transportation.

Leftover
I flew on the airplane that everyone always takes pictures of and wonders where it's going...
I thought that there would be Hello Kitty shaped food items, but this happened instead...
I have to tell you guys what happened at the airport, but it's really long, so I'll save that for my next post.
