This day was probably my favorite of all the days that I was in Taiwan. We climbed a mountain, went to a hot spring and then to the ocean - I’ve seen the ocean in florida and south carolina before… but here… it’s 10 times more beautiful! I can’t even describe it - I have a million pictures that I’ll eventually get up on flickr so you can see more of the beauty. :)
Okay, it was really my second, but it was my first one using chop sticks! :)
This was my first time on a big boeing 747! (that I can remember, anyway)
Thursday and Friday were kind of a blur of flying, sleeping and eating… I’m not sure what day it was when I was in the Osaka (Japan) airport, but it’s so beautiful and clean! It looks like Ikea decorated it (except w/ high quality/industrial materials). I love these chairs! I think each section has different colored chairs - all bright, happy colors. :)
I’m really not missing the microwave…
Lisa brought in lemon cake today - I wanted to eat the whole sheet!! I don’t know what my deal is, but all I can think about lately is EATING! And then at the end of the work day, Mark gave me a bag of candy for my trip! I can never have enough candy! :)
One of my guilty pleasures is girly magazines. I only endulge when traveling… I can’t wait to read all that useless knowledge! :)
A drag show is the last place I ever expected to run into an old swimming teammate, but it was good seeing him. :)
My lingerie/bachelorette party gift. :)
Some fun things I found while cleaning out my closet and jewelry box.
a. A really cute dude gave this to me on spring break one year… and NO it wasn’t like a string of beads thing… he just thought I was sexy. ;)
b. Not too long ago I decided that it was time to rid myself of everything ex-boyfriend… somehow I’m still coming across things… I threw away this silly bracelet and it felt SO good!
c. These are pants that I bought when I was 20… what was I thinking?!! :)
d. A friend and I found this store, Loose Lucy’s, in South Carolina back in high school… we thought this was the coolest place on earth and this is what I bought… for some reason even though I’m totally over that phase, I can’t get rid of this shirt!
e. Purchased in the 80’s… just keeping them in case I ever want to be a GO-GO dancer for halloween. :)
f. A high school graduation gift that I thought was really thoughtful and cute. It’s not Tiffany, but it was still sweet… and now it’s crap b/c it isn’t Tiffany. haha
g. I wore this one spring break w/ confidence… woah!!!
h. Bracelets my late-grandma brought me back from a cruise she went on.
I have to be in the mood, but today was a great day for Panda Express! And the weather was nice too. :) Happy Earth Day!
This guy sings that one song that I know you all love but I forget the name at the moment… but it’s got major cussing going on so even if I did remember, I couldn’t say it anyway… anyway… not sure if it’s REALLY him, but he was good even if he isn’t. (I’m tired, can you tell?)
having a second bathroom to hang chlorine soaked swim suits. :)
Soap can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry….
She woke in the morning, she knew that her life had passed her by, she called out a warning, don’t ever let life pass you by.
Maybe this kid was reachin out for love or
maybe for a moment he forgot who he was or
maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
I dig my toes into the sand, the ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewed across a blue plain. I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless and in this moment I am happy.
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
You say things that bend me at the knees
Did I waste it, not so much that I could taste it
7am, garbage truck beeps as it backs up and I start my day thinking about what I’ve thrown away, can I push rewind?
Who am i to need you now, to ask you when, to tell you no; to
deserve your love and sympaty, you were never meant to belong to me
I bite my tongue every time you come around b/c blood in my mouth
beats blood on the ground.
You are the last drink I never should drunk,
You are the body hidden in the trunk,
You are the habit I can’t seem to quit,
You are my secrets on the front page every week,
You are the car I never should have bought,
You are the train I never should have caught,
You are the cut that makes me hide my face,
You are the party that makes me feel my age
If I am not interesting, perhaps I am not interested in you.
Too bad the things that make you mad
are my favorite things
and I’m so happy
Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shorts and boots, b/c it’s okay to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, b/c you think that being a girl is degrading, but secretly, you’d love to know what’s it like, wouldn’t you… What it feels like for a girl.
