me: ugh, I look crazy today.
him: are you trying to fish for a compliment?
me: no, I just need you to tell me that you're not trying to get into my pants and that everything will be ok.

It's simple.
I guess in the end, we just never made each other truly happy - not a momentary gleeful happiness (as we had plenty of that), but a deep-seated happiness that winds its way around your heart and takes root into that fleshy muscle so it can be afford to be still for just a moment. We never inspired from each other’s lips words such as ‘forever’ and ‘always’ often...

I must write.
There’s a deep pit at the bottom of my stomach and simultaneously a hole in my soul that tends to rip slowly but surely at every little memory that brings me back to the past and reminds me that I’m no longer with him in the present. I’ve tried to write many times since that day, but my pride has kept me from finishing my thoughts. But I must write. I have to find a way to...

Mom: I do everything every day
Me: You feel hate right? Or do you feel happy about it?
Mom: No happy, but no hate. No happy, but no hate.

Food Series: Clam and tofu soup
I wasn’t feeling very well yesterday, so decided to treat myself to some quality soup. This is a healthy, delicious soup that turned out to cost me about $5, when the restaurant version would be $12+.
Ingredients:
8-10 littleneck clams (with shell)
one box of silken tofu
cooking wine (either Chinese or white)
2 stems scallions
ginger
soy sauce
crushed red pepper (optional)

Update
I know I haven’t been updating very much, but life is tough as un lapin gris - hopping around, making sure my fur is kept fluffed, getting enough fiber and carotene intake (carrots. yum), and everything else that has to be seen to and done. It’s a wonder I haven’t gotten the nobel peace prize for managing life! Is that a category? If not, somebody needs to go speak with that...

dashed dreams
Last night, I surprise visited Boy at his place after girls’ night ended. This is how I expected things to go down:
:: knock :: :: Boy opens :: A gigantic smile appears on his face as he spreads his eagle arms to wrap me in a teddy bear hug as he twirls me around and around in his living room. Much smooching ensues.
This is how things actually went down:
:: knock :: :: Boy opens ::...

– Letters to Juliet
I just realized that if I could find a job where I could edit/help publish books, play with cats, and do a bit of financial analysis on the side, I’d take it in a heartbeat. And then I’d wonder whether that position could afford my student loans, bills, and travel dreams… Well, if I could rub a magic lamp, at least I know what I’d ask for.

“I’ve just been so out of pocket…”
– Overheard a coworker on the phone. He also used “it is what it is” in the same conversation just to make sure the call was as productive and informative as possible.
“I think that if we do something like that, we should just take responsibility...”

I’m tired* of this boy-girl game, and want to sit out for awhile, if that’s ok.
* Not of a person but of the whole entire game that people in early-adulthood allow to consume all of their natural resources outside of work/study/school. yeah, I’ve had enough of that.
Weekend
Weekend was spent doing a lot of NOT going to the water park as planned due to a sudden onset of an unmentionable issue (Boy’s) for which we had to go to urgent care and buy loads of prescription and nonprescription medication.
His younger brother is now in town and is actually one of the most difficult people to make conversation and be friendly with. I think Boy spoils him too much,...
Happiness
My birthday began in the most awesome way. My mom and I drove to my friend C’s place after I got off of work on Friday. We were just lounging around when Boy called around 11:50ish. Talk, talk, talk, and then C screamed “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Silence from my mom. I told Boy he was late, but he said his clock had not yet turned so to just be patient and wait. A few seconds later,...

Apple club
Walked up three flights of stairs with my boss (we wanted to get some exercise) to go speak with some lawyers about a questionable document that was to be signed. Found two of them congregated in an office. Discussed the implications of “we” and “of” and other verbal intricacies, and decided that the entire document needed to be reworded and reformatted. Then, all the...
