puff puff pass
I've been having a lot of thoughts about cigarettes these couple months. I went through a particularly rough patch some weeks ago, but I broke through. I think I finally found a brand I like. Smoking is nice.
I think I'm not bothered anymore by yiyun's smoking.
Oh! Funny thing. I smoked pot several times these months. It was fun, but I don't think I smoked enough, so I was mostly just relaxed and chill. I don't think it's worth the price though, both in terms of money and potential jail time. Damn, the Taiwanese law hates marijuana. Cigarettes feel way less healthy, and yet they're legal. Isn't weed more like a vegetable than a drug? In conclusion, if given the choice, I'd smoke pot over cigarettes any day.
NYU didn't accept me. Oh well. I kind of veered off my dream of being a filmmaker after the dorm curfew protest anyway, and I was sort of hoping I wouldn't get in. I'm pumped to stay in Taiwan and FJU now. I joined the student association, and there will be lots of things to do, lots of change to push for.
Strange how you can work at something so hard, and dream of it for a whole year, but then by the end something else comes along and it just sort of withers away. I wouldn't say I'm never having anything to do with film ever again, but it's much less urgent and critical of a goal now. Or I'm just fickle?
I have a little job as a translator now, for a startup company looking to sell sports equipment or something. It's an easy and flexible job, and making my own money is interesting.
I was thinking about moving out when I go into junior year, (maybe live with Yiyun), but I'm not so sure about it now. I don't love living with my mom, but at home I have Netflix and free aircon and a real couch. These things are nice. Costs no effort. If I move out, I'd have to worry about all kinds of things I didn't have to think about before, which I'm not sure I'm ready for yet, what with the various changes already going on in my life.
But well. I stil have time to think it over. At least I have to move out when I graduate. That's the limit.
Yiyun has a kitty now!
Her name is Woogi. She doesn't like being held and hugged, but she loves to bite your toes, especially if you're sleeping or having sex. She's very active and will chase around anything she can find. Maybe this is just a baby kitty thing, but also maybe she's actually hyperactive, like ADHD or something? Does that happen in cats?
Viper and Panther, on the other hand, are moving on to their 8th year. They have gotten fat and lazy. Woogi came to live with us for a couple of days, and the whole house was a mess. Viper would hiss at her, but not really make an attempt to move. Panther became scared and despondent. Woogi was a little shit, and was unfazed by any of it. She'd even chase viper around, despite being hissed at.
She also has a crooked little tail! It is the cutest. She's so cute, I love her.
We're also moving. To a smaller apartment. Which is good.
Yiyun and I plan to go to Taitung sometime late August. Should be fun!
Anyway, that's the update so far. I got a bright future ahead of me, and I know it because everything I want starts with doing what's at hand right now, which is the student association stuff. And onwards!
