i'm just going to keep on talking until someone responds hehe

ok so i thought i'd be a good girl and start on history hw that's due monday on sat instead of mon morning as what i always do, but my roommate's friends pour into the room with two new people (e-man and yorick? don't know how to spell them) and i try to drown them out with chinese music blasting in my earphones but eman kept on talking to me and i gave up and played Bang with them, which is like a super elaborate murderer with cards and lives and weapons (woo!). playing cards with them is not just about the game man it's a whole party. so it goes on until it's time for my late night supper of pizza with wilson and yashodan poor souls who braved the cold and lateness to satisfy my urge to eat and just get out of my room. then bloody ICED bubble tea at the asian ghetto when it's a CRAZY FOUR DEGREES OUTSIDE. the purpose of this post is to lament the passing of my previous incredible resistance against the cold that i'm actually feeling now. I NEVER FEEL COLD. But i just shivered my way back home. this is california! where's the sunshine? ok so it's 1am but it shouldn't hit 4 degrees and below ever in my imagined wonderful california. please don't sneer at me you uk people but i still think it's ridiculous. people are made to walk around in tshirt and shorts, not fat jacket and thermal underwear.

on a separate note, 北京一夜 (one night in beijing) is the most haunting chinese song i've ever heard. the lyrics are amazing. i'll translate for you, fuzzy. mostly enigmatic old people doing funny things in the streets and barbarians waiting at city gates and lovers waiting a thousand yrs.

i wish i could be a barbarian. very romantic.

    heh one moment a barbarian, another, an academic. and the monologue. CHIM ARE U THAT BLOODY FREE? haha.
    anw, ive been inspired to do an elective which analyses chinese lyrics, and 'one night in beijing' is included in the course. heh. i figured lyrcis cant be that tough, but the chinese essay bit is a little daunting.

    i shouldn't be so free i know 4 finals and a bloody paper but no discipline.
    and i swear the cold is making my brain generate a lot of thoughts.
    hey! tell me how you analyse the song k. what monologue are you talking about? eh do you want me to burn sex and the city episodes for you? i'm going to burn gilmore girls for fuzzy soon. it's revolutionising my thinking i tell you. miss you a lot. a lot.

    YOUR monologue la, cos u were just going on and on in the blog. not that i mind =)
    i dont mind having the episodes, but its gonna cost a lot to send them back! and i know plenty of ppl here who have the entire collection haha.
    on another note, im getting bored here! cycling without u guys is different and there arent even any waist grabbers ( remember! haha) to piss me off/ amuse me somewhat.
    and here's a SHOUT OUT to our silent buddies fuzz and jo- say something u guys!

    hellooo i haven't cycled since i came here! i knew you liked the waist grabbing that was damn funny can't believe it happened twice at the same spot. here my friend only attracts bums and scary guys who grab and kiss him in the dining hall. nowhere as saucy as waist grabbing.
    grr that jo and fuzzy are planning to rip apart spain or something. arise you sleepy things! come to my embrace!

    we think it's cos of his jacket that makes him look like one of the homeless on the streets and attract a lot of unwanted attention. it's v scary to walk at night with him when he wears that bloody jacket.
    don't worry about the email, take your time, chill......i shouldn't even turn on my computer these days but for you.. anything heh heh. i love talking so seductively to you all. my babes!
    yeah so enjoy your break, do crazy things to tell me about. go walk on the roof, skinny-dipping, eat red hot stuff or something.
