Miss someone until you don't.
Try to regain what you’ve lost but have trouble expressing yourself. Choose all the wrong words; speak your own limited language. You’ll mean to say, “I’m keeping busy,“ or “How was your day?” or “I’ve been reading this fantastic book you’d like; you should borrow it,” but all of the sentiments just spill out of your mouth as “I miss you.” Every gap in conversation caulked with “I miss...

Time
Today is January 31, 2012.
It’s been 600 days or 1 year, 7 months and 21 days since June 11, 2010.
It’s been 161 days or 5 months and 8 days since August 24, 2011.
It’s been 95 days or 3 months and 3 days since October 29, 2011.
A lot of time has passed. A lot of things have happened. A lot has changed.

Wisdom
From one of the wisest old women I’ve ever spoken with (a small Chinese lady with an English accent), this is the wisdom of May:
This person is like a fish, swimming through the ocean, trying to find his place.
It will not be easy, so you must make the best of it.
Never ever be pessimistic. Always. Always be optimistic.
Isn’t life interesting?

Happy New Year!
Wellp, last post of 2011. A happy new year to everyone. It’s been a difficult year, but things are bound to get better (I hope — especially given that we’re all gonna die because it’s the end of the world come December 2012 LOL)!
Here’s me and Bosc-y
Weird scrunched up face!
Anyway, happy new year. Малыш, я скучаю по тебе.

Post-Christmas thoughts
It’s 1:08am (well, it’ll be later when I finish the post). I originally intended on sleeping at 11:30, but I ended up rolling around in my bed with awful difficulty breathing and a throbbing migraine. I don’t know why.
Anyway, I’ll take this awake time to talk about Christmas.
This Christmas was a bit off for me. I felt it waning last year, but the magical Christmas...

Christmas Post #1
Continued attempts at using that delayed publishing system!
Anyway, tonight is the night of December 16, 2011. Well, it’s more like the morning of December 17, but I’ll go by the Burger King clock (I just found out their King deals go on til the next morning).
Wellp, two years ago today was December 18th — that is if you compensate for the day of the week shift that happens...

Exploring my life: Pokémon
Once upon a time, there was an Ivysaur, Charmeleon and Rhyhorn. They lived together in this old tree thing.
Ivysaur looked over to Charmeleon.
“Hey Charmeleon,” Ivysaur said, “let’s go to that city with that tower in that general area of that place!”
“What about Rhyhorn?” Charmeleon asked.
And so they killed Rhyhorn.
Charmeleon decided to...

Movies
More pre-queued stuff. It makes it easier for me just to mass-write and have a gradual release of posts! Good stuff. Anyway —
So before second year, I never really found much interest in going to the movies. Yes, I would head out with friends to catch the latest Harry Potter and whatnot, but I never found much reason for me to go and sit down in a theatre to watch a feature length film...

Continued line-up
Wellp, apparently, I can’t sleep tonight LOL so I’ll just keep posting. Look at this:
The Hunger Games cast! Rue looks adorable. I hope her [DANGER. SPOILER ALERT.] death scene is done well! Foxface is really purdy. Marvel looks like that waiter at Boston Pizza by Square One. CATO IS CANADIAN. The Canadian is evil ): lol.
Anyway, enough Hunger Games for now. I’m bored. I...

Weird things. I have a kid. Not really.
A while back, we (well, YOU played) played FF14. You decided to call the character you spent ages on making our kid LOL. So by extension, we both became parents of some virtual .. being? I managed to find his profile on the FF14 website.
Unfortunately, Valley is locked in the middle of a custody battle. Nonetheless, look at those stats! He has 16 piety! What the hell does that even mean? LOL. I...

Playing games while hungry
Wellp, I’ve got a few hours until I have to head out to Square One to pick up my Secret Santa gift, so I’ll post some stuff since I haven’t done so for a while.
For ENG239, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins was on the reading list. One of the best reads EVER. I finished during the term and this week, I moved on to the rest of the trilogy. Can’t put it down! Amazing...

Idiomatic
佛口蛇心.(Words of a Buddha, heart of a snake.)
右手抄經, 左手殺人. (With your left hand, you would write prayers and with your right, you would kill.)
^ Both of these say essentially the same thing. These speak to two things on my mind at the moment.
ASIDE: My mom took most of the necessary furniture out of my room and so I don’t have a desk lamp, so I’m writing with the ceiling light, which...

Backwards in time.
I went Christmas shopping with some labmates today. We dropped one of them off at Kipling station. Being there was a weird experience. Everything is still the same, myself included.
On a brighter note, shopping was fun! This girl washed my hand for a good hour LOL.

Precursor to my last narrative for WRI325.
I am currently sitting in the silent study area of the campus library. I’m typing surprisingly fast given that I’m using my iPad and it’s virtual keyboard, but I suppose that’s a good thing. Anyway, Saif just looked over to me and I mouthed “hijabi” to him. Oh, more background on where I’m writing from right now: silent study, fourth floor, sitting next to...

The end.
Last year, you said this:
I don’t want us to end badly. Most breakups end badly and I don’t want it to happen to us.
Look at what’s happened. It’s too late. It’s happened.

How many hours?
Me: Michelle's back.
Joanna: Of course..it's been three hours.
Me: Nooo, it's only been 15 minutes.
Joanna: So when I was eating earlier for 3 hours, I was eating for 36 hours? HAHAHA.
Me: So what's the scale on that?
Joanna: The conversion is x12.

Taking notes in class
I’m in class right now and will be taking notes on here. Take count of how many times I lose attention.
Identification that causes fear followed by fictionalization that causes relief = horror. Lovecraft adds the supernatural/strange/unknown. When Berke talks about sublime, it talks about travel phenomenon.
I’m bored. Book with fat face on cover. Causes furor.

Nighttime library bundt cake
What an oddly opportune day! Well, let me begin by placing myself. I’m sitting at a computer on the main floor of the Hazel McCallion something something library. I finished working on my ENG239 in-class essay outline and I’ve also prepared for tomorrow’s discussion on invasives in 490. I’m excited because I have an opportunity to apply what I learned in ANT363 over the...

Transportation and Thought
Yesterday, I took the UTM shuttle down to UTSG to hand in my NSERC application (here’s hoping I get briefly considered and a smile lands on my research experience even if I don’t get sent to Ottawa!).
The bus ride is 40 mins to an hour long. During this time, I get lost in thought. Each time I sit onboard that white rocket, hurtling down the highway at breakneck speeds, I get so...

Waking up at 1pm
Well, I went to sleep at 1 last night and managed to sleep a full twelve hours. How did that happen? It’s not even summer break right now. Anyway, I’m planning on picking up an iPad 3 when it’s released next year and while I was reading up on it, I found out that Conquer Online (CO) will be releasing an iPad port in the coming weeks.
I’ve played a lot of MMOs in my short...

Best
Me: It's taken me a really long time to articulate this into words, but honestly, you're the best thing that's ever happened to my life. Nothing can compare.

Me: And when you came along, it was like you were hugging my heart.

On living
From the mind of …
The right answer is you bury this, and let it come out at an appropriate time. You can cry when someone dies or when you get fired. You are definitely supposed to put a mask on the rest of the time. Act like someone who has it together, even if you don’t. Be unphased when you look in the mirror, when someone doesn’t text you back, when you can’t remember what you...

We were the kings and the queens

Mulling restrictions on a diet of cake and burgers
First, a preface:
I never intended to make this blog ultra-personal and I suppose to some extent, it has stayed that way in that I haven’t discussed all parts of my life in extreme detail. The deepest that I’ve gotten into my mind on this blog occurred recently in two lengthy posts (read back two or three posts). Since I started on this minor tangent of exposing a bit more of myself,...

Skittles and Beer
The annoyance continues. Confusion: if I treat you well, isn’t it only natural for you to do the same for me? Look at the lack of balance in the things you throw at me. I suppose I get my answer from looking at some examples.
Here’s one: it’s okay for you to swear at me, but when I swear at you, it’s temper tantrum time.
If you ask a favour of me, I jump on it, but when I...

Appetite and Pabst Blue Ribbon
If we ignore modesty, then I can say that I’m a very generous person. Typically, you would assume people whom you’re generous to to reciprocate with kindness and generosity in turn. However, in cases where you’re giving to a person over a long period of time (seemingly unconditionally), the recipient of your goodwill might end up spoiled.
All of this started with me buying you a...
