It's the small things you really get hit by: the steepness of curbs, the way people laugh, the smell of the morning. What I miss from the States aren't the large things: the mobility (both economic and physical), the transparency in politics, the abundant diversity. I do miss them, but what I miss the most is the consistency. Your apartment will be heated, the appliances will work, the fuses won't be blown when you try to utilize more than one room at at time. It's the same with people too. When I think about the people I miss from the States I can think about all their traits and all the great things they shared with me, but what I miss is voices and smiles and laughs. I never thought about those things. They were just always there. I've noticed that I've become guilty of the same thing here too. Good things - and the good people who come with them - are easy to overlook. They're consistent - ever present in every way. They're so me that I've stopped considering them. Stopped appreciating. Stopped enjoying. And that's a big part of life's joy, I think, finding those things that bring you joy and really allowing it to fill you." here's her link woah what is going on, this week i've made so many life-changing decisions...months of planning have been erased because one or two ideas were planted into my head...if you pull one tiny link the whole fence falls down funny how things work out needless to say, i don't think i'll be turning in my application for the peace corps anymore sorry Phuong i'm so lost someone tell me what to do # Thursday, December 23, 2004 ( 1:11 AM ) shut up christine Muchos colores para mi coleccion here you go # ( 1:10 AM ) shut up christine # ( 1:09 AM ) shut up christine # ( 1:04 AM ) shut up christine # ( 1:03 AM ) shut up christine # ( 1:01 AM ) shut up christine # ( 1:00 AM ) shut up christine # ( 12:58 AM ) shut up christine # ( 12:57 AM ) shut up christine # ( 12:56 AM ) shut up christine # ( 12:56 AM ) shut up christine # ( 12:56 AM ) shut up christine # ( 12:53 AM ) shut up christine # Monday, December 20, 2004 ( 1:55 AM ) shut up christine holeee crap i just pooped in my pants diarrhea styles i was about to start typing when it happened grrrrosss you know what would be more gross?

Quiznos # Sunday, December 05, 2004 ( 1:00 PM ) shut up christine flaws will be my downfall infamous for taking ridiculously long showers. have been known to vigorously shampoo to the point where my arms hurt and I must take breaks. rinse repeat can’t look at pictures of my sis for long periods of time because I’ll want to punch someone. in the face. whoever says math is fun is a liarrrr. i am not, and will never be, a morning person. will set five alarm clocks placed in several locations around the room. will unconsciously shut off each alarm as it goes off, then return to sleep. will claim that none of my alarm clocks work. chronically late. usually because I won’t hear my alarm clocks or because I take ridiculously long showers. xanga, blogger, livejournal, whatever. can’t stop reading other peoples’ stories. quite possibly my most favorite thing to do in the world…damn youuuu been known to take obscenely large shits. won’t even attempt to describe how ginormous because most humans cannot comprehend. however, I will say that I've almost passed out on several occasions, and at times I’ve needed to bite down on a towel to keep from screaming obscenities have bought and keep buying waaaay too many books at thrift stores and sidewalk sales because they’re cheap, even though I will probably never read them. posess a hyperactive imagination. easily distracted. self-professed daydreamer and professional procrastinator. currently thinking about: - leaving for Thailand in five days - pondering what to do after I graduate - smelling and hugging my newly washed blanket - hoping that freshmen ressies actually read my monthly newsletter - staring at postcards on my wall (see picture above) - picking at the gross scab on my elbow - wondering what j is doing… "inheritably" heee - trying to resist the urge to reorganize my desk - writing this stupid list instead of working on a 15 page paper + lit review on the socialization of children in the jewish reconstructionist community. hurrah Yay I’m screwed! Good luck on finals! # |
