Careless Love ~Madeleine Peyroux |
] |
Today at the Museum of Comparative Zoology one of the librarians came up to me. He was returning some of our magazines. He didn't bug me, but when he said goodbye he said "You're so lucky, you can listen to music while you're working."
He's right. I'm really lucky to have this job. I still think mollusks are interesting, and my work is useful.

Today I took a friend to the subway. Having a friend around for the last two days has made me really happy.
After she left I felt crappy, pretty nervous. At first my head hurt, I didn't want to work, I just wanted to sleep. Today wasn't that crappy, I bought Flight，and 4 new bits of Kabuki. Comics are my rainbows.
It's funny, people say at home depend on your folks, outside depend on your friends. I can't do it. Aside from living here, I can't really count on my folks, the last few years they just aren't so reliable. I've always leaned on my friends, to me they're the most important. Without them, I couldn't make it.

Maybe it's a little strange, but lately I've been thinking about gum flavors. What kind did you like when you were small? What kind did you like as you got older?
When I was small I liked big bubble gum, especially watermelon flavor. Actually, watermelon isn't watermelon, it's green apple.
Then I liked cinnamon gum. I still like it a whole lot. It doesn't matter what brand, just so long as it's that great cinnamon flavor I'm happy.
What about you? What kind of gum do you like?

Sometimes very simple things make people happy.
Recently I saw a picture of a very pretty friend of long ago, I ｗａｓ happy
Today my biology exam went alright, I was happy
Today I bought blue moon, I was happy
Dissatisfaction doesn't necessarily mean life is bad, it just means you haven't opened your eyes
I like a busy life, a full life
but sometimes i have to stop, look at the bad in the world, and look at the beautiful
I have to be a fool before I can grasp wisdom.

It's almost time for Lantern Festival. Even though I'm in the US, I still have tang yuan to eat. Next Wednesday is Lantern Festival. I'm prepared with two kinds of tangyuan: forbidden rice and green bean.
Lately I've been thinking of what to do for Grave Sweeping Festical. This year it's on April 20th. Actually, moodluan already wrote a great introduction, so if you want to know more, go read .
I started work this week, not bad. The road ahead is still unclear, but I've already started moving. I can't keep standing dumbstruck in dog shit, only after moving ahead and brushing myself off will I be able to clean up and see the road ahead.

For the last few days I've been busy starting a new site. This is a comic I started last year "Quest for Happiness," I hope you'll take a look.
Lately I haven't been sleeping well. I feel like something heavy is always sitting on my head. Am I too excited? I'm not sure, I only know that I'm not sleeping well.
I finished reading a really good book about environmental issues. Maybe there is hope for our world. Today I'm headed into Boston for a job interview, and I hope I can nail this job.
Thursday I'm going to Harvard for a talk on China's environmental issues. It should be pretty good, and that evening I'll meet up with Josh, so it's all good.

White Ladder ~David Grey |

Today I was helpful, went to buy groceries, and finished making a scarf. Home is no fun, there's nothing good to do. Read, knit a scarf or socks or gloves, draw. Other than that, there's nothing. At home I can't have good conversations, just quietly stay put. Isn't that deathly boring?
At least tomorrow or the day after a good friend will be staying with me for a couple of days. There's a chance to go out with good friends and maybe even see a hottie. (the hottie?)
I'm a little worried that after the holidays I'll feel too lonely. I hope I'll be busy enough, otherwise january will be a very sad month for me.
Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) I'll be in Baltimore. It should be pretty good. I remember last year Spring Festival was lonely and angry. I must be too selfish.
I hope one day I can live in the same city as my cloase friends. I don't want anymore lonely holidays.

Holly Cole ~Falling Down |

This year I just don't have the holiday spirit. It's not that I don't care, it's just that it doesn't seem special. I just want to hang out with myself and read a book, or see good friends. There's no real opportunity to buy any presents, but my family doesn't really care about made gifts. It looks like I may have to borrow money from my folks, but that won't work because they don't have any either.
Yesterday mom asked me what I want, but I don't want anything. I already said I just want to be able to take my class next term. Actually I think the problem is that I don't want to tell them, if they want to give me a gift, i'd only want them to think on their own of a little something that's meaningful. If i name something, it's meaningless. We can't give any expensive gifts, so the best is to give a meaningful gift. If I say something that I want, the meaning's already left.
It's a shame that my family doesn't understand what I mean. It doesn't matter, this year is only a transition year.

| What kind of soul do I have? |
[05 Dec 2004|07:16pm] |
You Are a Dreaming Soul |
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you awy from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul
|
*sigh* I'm still a dreamer. Actually this seems pretty much like me. I'm often lost in my imagination. Does everyone love me? I don't think so, but people who know me tend to like me. When I was small I always had great hopes, but now I don't hope so much because I can't stand the disappointment.

To many people are playing with this, I can't take it, I have to play myself.
So a Japanese dish is what counts as love? Well, love isn't the day I've had today. I cleaned out the cabinet in the kitchen and threw out a lot of food, if not in a can then in a jar. It was really disgusting. If I knew the true nature of the cabinet earlier I couldn't have had lunch, I wasted a sandwich. Now my head hurts, but at least I didn't sustain any injuries. If I'd been hurt by any of the things I was throwing out I most certainly would have had poisoning of some sort, so I guess I can still count as pretty happy.
What is love to you? To me it's a balanced, peaceful warm feeling, maybe like a stupid yet cute panda.

After returning to the US I haven't taken many pictures. Maybe that's because this place is too normal. I need to open my eyes again, see things anew before I can find good things to shoot. Going through a dull daily routine doesn't really give me that kind of feeling, or maybe I'm just too stuck in the world in my head.
Regardless, you can still go see Fall Photos。

You're independent - and a logical analytical thinker.
You love learning and ideas... and know things no one else does.
Bored by small talk, you refuse to participate in boring conversations.
You are open minded. A visionary. You understand the world and may change it.

The last couple of days have not left me feeling very chipper. My family's financial, physical and mental health leave me wanting to leap off of insanely tall buildings.
I watched a tv show today and saw my mom in one of the characters, and I was horrified, horrified enough to be nauseous. Thankfully I didn't lose my lunch.
My laptop is finally giving up. Now on top of the boot issues, the keyboard has gone all flunky, so I have to pump the poor thing with peripherals just to get out a sentence. I almost threw the whole thing last night, but realized being so immature really wouldn't do me any good.
At least I am planning my classes for the weekend. While I am going through cramps and out of control feelings, at least I have something to look forward to.

Have you ever listened to Eason Chan? This song is pretty and shows how I'm feeling.
My feelings are a mess, sometimes i don't know where i'm supposed to be. I don't often see friends, my life is very quiet, too quiet, so quiet it all seems meaningless. I don't like to stay in the same place but I don't have a lot of choices right now. All I can do is stay and wait. Wait for what? I don't know either, but I hope that I can see the opportunity before it passes me by.

 When I was a kid, my brother's friends used to play with me. They thought i was like a little doll. They even took me on walks up and down the block in the carriage. Eventually one of the boys taught me how to walk.
Well, in honor of dolls, I decided to make a dressup doll of me. If you want one, you can go play at elouise's doll-maker.
