Check out this meme I read about on Ai’s page. Here are my results! ;)

PS – Sorry, Sheeners. It wouldn’t have worked out anyway, with me getting married next month and all… ;)

Dear Sheena,

I don’t really know how to tell you this, but I dislike you. I think I realized it when I quoted Santa in your apartment and I saw you carve your initials into my avocado plant. I’m sure you’re ashamed enough to understand that Santa doesn’t exist. I’m returning your ring to you, but I’ll keep my virginity as a memory. You should also know that I never openly mocked our friendship.

Good luck on your short-term leave from jail,

Giang

This entry is entirely attributed to Ai, who blogged about these things on her Live Journal, so I am stealing it in a moment of mild stress (why do things stress me out when I know I can’t do anything about them?) in order to calm myself.

FIRST, check out this cool link: Free Rice. For each word you get right, they will donate 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. You can help people and get S-M-R-T. Plus, when two Asians who appreciate vocabulary and rice tell you to do something, you should do it! Now!

SECOND, I must name 10 things I like that start with the letter M, because Ai told me to. When one Asian who appreciates letters tells me to do something, I should do it. Etc. So, here goes:

1. monkeys
2. money (more than I have now, but not too much, but enough, but not too enough…)
3. meat
4. minions
5. mushrooms
6. mooing
7. moueing
8. mozzarella
9. muffins
10. Mrs. Curtis Burdette ;)

The login button in this design is all the way at the bottom of the page, and I frown upon that. How lazy can I be? In my personal life, the answer is pretty goddamned.

I am enjoying Steve’s Nightmares and Dreamscapes – the story I’m currently reading features a nine foot long finger protruding from a man’s bathroom sink. I would say it made sense if you read it, but it doesn’t. You just have to believe. Or somethin’.

74 I think about this all the time:
There is a tide in the affairs of men

On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
