Maybe not ASAP

I need to marry a cardiologist asap (hopefully he’s also cute and dresses well and plays instruments classically and can sing and has a strong heart because I really don’t want our kid to have heart disease and is a man of faith and cares about anniversaries and my parents and siblings and will stay up late to marathon tv shows with me and wake me up in time for brunch and makes me laugh enough to compensate for my lack of exercise and give me piggy back rides and likes me better with short hair even though I’d grow it out for him).

but yeah, the heart specialist part - I need that.

People are gonna start identifying me by my death eater's hood

I'll become as infamous as that red head with the cape.

Not the biggest fan of dimples.

Just saying.

I mean, you can't help it if you have them but I almost like it when people don't.

When I see them, it literally looks like you're smiling under the pretense that someone's got an invisible arrow pointed at your cheek and pulled taught. On both sides!

I don't know. I don't think I'll ever like them.

I don't think I'll be wishing you a happy new year.

I used to be a normal-and-politically-aware/ level-headed /rational /socially concerned Taiwanese who advocated the phrase “Lunar new year” instead of “Chinese new year” (for blatantly obvious, do-you-care-about-being-exclusive?, the-far-east-doesnt-belong-to-China!, why-isn’t-being-politically-correct-attractive-anymore?, reasons). Yet something’s taken it to the next level and now I just don’t understand why people, Asian Americans particularly, bother to observe this day when they don’t follow the lunar calendar on a normal occasion. (No one’s answering my Facebook status either but I wasn’t asking rhetorically!) Technically, no one uses it anymore, especially if you’re in a developed, fast-track, multitasking, first world country that has to keep up with everyone else’s international agenda. But people, especially those my age, should consider the possibility that maybe they’re in this for the money or to honor a taken-for-granted excuse for family members to all be in one place. I don’t want to dub this day a “holiday” but I’m against any idea that families need to reason the purpose of their annual get-togethers with a calendar. Am I saying we’re shallow? Also, for Christians, if you’re into sweeping the house and cleaning it up to make way for good luck or if you hang charms upside down - what does that say about what you worship and your devotion to the one and only sovereign God? Are we celebrating a good harvest? Are we welcoming back family members who worked as merchants on the silk road? Am I being a party pooper? Sure, we’re allowed to give antiquated ceremonies a modern and personalized face-lift so we can check off “honored my living and decreased family in 2013,” but I’m not going to fold all my clothes and put them back in my drawers to make my mom feel like I care for her more than I usually do or to comfort my dead great-grandparents I’ve never even met. Is Jesus saddened by my behavior? Is my cynicism making him cry? That’s not for anyone to say, but you’re all encouraged to tell me why this day matters to you at all.

Or, you can all get off the computer and go outside and offer to shovel people’s driveways for free.

I saw a girl with short hair and-

(- this will not be a post about hair.)

- and I really wanted it! But then I started narrating out loud to myself in my head about how much I wanted it.

Would I kill for it? A lot of people say this but would they actually commit murder to call something their own? DO people not realize how barbaric this expression actually is?

Hm, I can't elaborate this post much further because the standard idiom is "I'd kill to have it."

Some people say "I'd rather die than ______" but do we really?

"I'd give the world to see that." Well, too bad, the world isn't yours to give.

I was an English (language, not culture) buff. I know what a hyperbole is, but if I only learned one thing from a class so dedicated to the subtle variations of diction and syntax, it's that I have a knack for the literal and nothing's going to change that!

I think this is one reason why I don't befriend people my age so easily 'cause they say too many things carelessly but I guess I can't exclude myself.

I hate it when people do this.

so lets say I don't wanna exercise
but that's because I don't care
but now I care that I don't care
and there's no such thing as me changing too much
so does that mean I've been changing this whole time?
and caring as well?

what?

anyway, since I now care about not having cared enough, I'm at peace with what's happening so that means I don't have to do anything because apparently I've been doing something anyway.

OKAY.

I have things to say but no time to flesh anything out! :(

What happens when you pray for someone?

What happens when you pray WITH someone?

What happens when you don't?
