I am so strangely attracted to this song.

Sleep on the roof
The professor of a university challenged his students with this question. “Did God create everything that exists?” A student answered bravely, “Yes, he did”.
The professor then asked, “If God created everything, then he created evil. Since evil exists (as noticed by our own actions), so God is evil. The student couldn’t respond to that statement causing the professor to conclude that he had “proved” that “belief in God” was a fairy tale, and therefore worthless.
Another student raised his hand and asked the professor, “May I pose a question? ” “Of course” answered the professor.
The young student stood up and asked : “Professor does Cold exists?”
The professor answered, “What kind of question is that? …Of course the cold exists… haven’t you ever been cold?”
The young student answered, “In fact sir, Cold does not exist. According to the laws of Physics, what we consider cold, in fact is the absence of heat. Anything is able to be studied as long as it transmits energy (heat). Absolute Zero is the total absence of heat, but cold does not exist. What we have done is create a term to describe how we feel if we don’t have body heat or we are not hot.”
“And, does Dark exist?”, he continued. The professor answered “Of course”. This time the student responded, “Again you’re wrong, Sir. Darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in fact simply the absence of light. Light can be studied, darkness can not. Darkness cannot be broken down. A simple ray of light tears the darkness and illuminates the surface where the light beam finishes. Dark is a term that we humans have created to describe what happens when there’s lack of light.”
Finally, the student asked the professor, “Sir, does evil exist?” The professor replied, “Of course it exists, as I mentioned at the beginning, we see violations, crimes and violence anywhere in the world, and those things are evil.”
The student responded, “Sir, Evil does not exist. Just as in the previous cases, Evil is a term which man has created to describe the result of the absence of God’s presence in the hearts of man.”
After this, the professor bowed down his head, and didn’t answer back.

Cholesterol Shmucko.
What I would give up sex for. Although of course if I had all that, sex will no longer be a viable option. Still, I haven’t been this excited for a long, long time. Websites like this make me believe food is an art and that a congested coronary may very well be worth it.

Wow.
If my life were mine, it would go like this:
After college, for a few years I will live with my closest friends and do nothing but realize myself. Then I will purchase a caravan and start touring the world in my caravan. First I will go to Switzerland, then Georgia, then maybe Nepal or somewhere in the slums but beautiful. Those years belong to myself.
There I will meet my lover, she will be a she – but it doesn’t matter. She will leave behind the life she had and be in mine. We will ride in our caravan around any country we desire to at the moment. We go to Iceland, Greece, Denmark, Italy, England, Japan, Bolivia, Egypt. She will dance – maybe paint – or both. I will do theater. We will both write.
When we move on to another country we sell our old caravan and buy a new one in the new place. After awhile there will be tension, because we want a child but are afraid for the child and there will be uncertainty and that makes us forget we were once in love.
We still write, and act, and dance (or maybe paint) – and because we have ~angsty angst it will be really tragic and ~angst so we become famous. This is where we mature and find ourselves in our art and subsequently we start to believe and we have a child using one of the fancy shmancy artificial child birth thing. We love each other again, this time more than ever.
We have a beautiful son, (and later a daughter – but that’s for later). Our son makes us find God. We travel in our caravan. When our son is a teenager and we are over nearing fifty, we go back to where I started in Switzerland and purchase a vineyard. Our son does everything he loves and wants and succeeds, as does our daughter.
They love to travel as we did, and they do. Slightly lonely after all the adventure, we set up a day care service in our vineyard and everyday we are surrounded by children, animals and wine and vine (or whatever it is they grow in vineyards).
When we are over fifty many of our friends join us there and we have age gracefully.
She will die at fifty-seven, maybe a couple of years after me or before me, and then I will go.
Wow.

if that was really you
If that was really you.
It was strange. Strange to have felt almost nothing but so much at the same time. As if I were of two separate times, one still remembering what it was like and the other relieved because I don’t need – or even want – this anymore.
What struck me was the way I recognized you. I guess when someone was so much a part of your life once you identify them not by sight but almost by this sensory field radar-esque thing. Odd, I know, but true.
So odd in fact that I somehow still doubt it was really you and felt a little silly turning around to get a better look and all at once there was this weird, weird feeling as if I were in a car with those tinted windows and everyone else can’t see what I’m looking at; like you were in an enclosure – or maybe I was.
Anyway, in retrospect – the fact that it was so surreal made me realize how much has happened in between. I’ve learnt so much, done so much, met so many other people and although I can’t really understand the logical link in this I am suddenly grateful for where I am today and everything that happened.
SO.
I’m trying to get my homework done, and have so far done ONE unseen essay for literature. Which I must say left me languishing in such a thorough sense of accomplishment I forgot I still have a long, long way to go. Things to do: stop stuffing my face together with the mugsclub and/or sleeping all my time away.
Baking/cooking/eating at Xin’s yesterday and today was so blah I can list my schedule in a couple of lines:
wake
eat
sleep
wake
go out
eat
tuition
eat
sleepWOW. JUST WOW. But secretly I’m loving this life.

keep you sleepy as the south
So I have been doing nothing constructive to my future as of recent.
Just hanging out a lot and wasting my life away. At the same time, I’m pretty worried that As are less than a year away oh Lord. :-(
On your to-watch list, all of you:
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows
Because it’s the best yet since HP1, (which was only great cuz the trio were cute beyond words and Dumbledore wasn’t a menopausal psycho bitxh yet.) no srsly, Daniel Radcliffe went past his angst to portray something good this time. Also, stunning scenery. If not, just watch for Dobby. He’s the only CGI character I have cried so much for.
Easy A
Easily the best chick flick along with Mean Girls. Emma Stone was of pure talent, along with the rest of the cast – just. watch. It’s really really good.
Tangled
Because it is the last Disney Princess movie to ever be produced. No wait – just get it on DVD.
Kokuhaku
ARE YOU KIDDING FRICKIN’ AWESOME AS ALWAYS MINDFUCKING JAPANESE PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER. No missing this.
The Other Guys
The trailer was LOL so maybe.
I HAVE ALSO BEEN DOING LOTS OF READING.
BECAUSE OF THIS:
You’re supposed to bold the ones you’ve read and italicize the ones you’ve read parts/excerpts of. Most people have read at least an average of six by middle age or something. It also made me feel really inferior cause I haven’t heard of a full quarter and have read less than half on the list.

In repentance, I picked up The Time-traveler’s Wife and The Alchemist so as to (however minutely) improve my literary scope. After that I will prolly give in to guilty indulgence and eat up some chick lit.
So as you can see, I’m going nowhere on the academic scale neither am I pimpin’ my portfolio like the rest of the J1 world is. All I’m doing is.. idk. Reading and Lookbooking and Watching Movies and being an obnoxiously carefree teen.
Now to watch Big Bang Theory and then 3 Sisters later (which I got scammed into offering 20 bux for. No srsly, 20 bux and NO TRANSPORT? Angst.)
Alright laterzx.

HI.
I KNOW, I’M SORRY.
I want to live my life as a hobo riding in a caravan around the world frying wild chicken with a fire made from sticks.
Q
