Yourself?

aaaaaha. i have been away too long, too. sichuan cuisine is fascinating. of course, my chilli freak brother, while the rest of the people at the table are slobbering and smoking from the mouth, asks for a dish of chilli sauce so he can make his food even hotter. i once wrote a poem about how stupid people must be to eat spicy food. that was before my tongue acclimatized. or my taste buds died out. same difference.
yeah we survived. so that's a good thing, eh? score for the bloggers - blogs featured in newsweek. or time or something. or was it us news? something. well, in mine.
i think i've been to old beijing before. we met someone from our church (we went after church) who we hadn't known were going there too. coincidence.
personal? that's because we're people, and as far as i know, when you give most people a chance to spill their guts without too much distraction, they loooove it.
i listen to oldies! simon and garfunkel forever! and classical music. nothing like it.
"enthusiastic vs cousin", baos? be glad yearbooks are (kind of) affordable. here they cost 80 US bucks. but they're hardcover, i suppose. quality wise, though, not much diff.
hugged a guy? yeah, sure, when you're on a co-ed sports team you end up needing and giving moral support. oh, and how about this time when a bunch of guys ganged up on me and ... they were *kind of* my friends, so i didn't really care. don't you go getting any nasty thoughts now. it was my last day at that school and i suppose they were trying to be nice.
hey, people don't always talk about what they're thinking about. so that means someone who mostly talks about soccer, for instance, may actually spend most of their time thinking about potted plants. or other more sinister (and plausible) things. but that was an example.
night bird. night owl? i can usually stay up late, but i can also wake up early and be very alert. here's the secret to no jet-lag - once you get on the plane, set your watch to the time of your destination and follow it accordingly. you can also put a sign around your neck in the language of your airline "wake me up for meals." some americans have never even crossed the time zone lines or county lines. others take pride in not having a passport. america's so big, she's good enought for me. i don't need to go anywhere else. like, what kind of a place is it if they don't know how to speak english? enough with these foreigners all coming over already. *kill them!*
yep. but i love roller coasters that twist and turn.
E. T. phone home. i find joy in repeating words. like crick. as in creek. and in accents. bee-o-loh-jhee. ah hev noo ah-deah. abuquacky. mahnten doo. pairpsy. por tose hoo tink yang. alright, i'll stop now.
