I've been back in South Korea for nearly 3 months. In that time, I got a powerful crush, suffered a even more powerful case of pneumonia (my lungs and the South Korean winter are not compatible in anyway), was told that I was condescending, learned firsthand why you can't really have a confidant in a person you've known for two weeks, and am the ( Read more... )

I am kind of depressed and very FEELINGS! WHY DO I HAVE FEELINGS about an old/new development in my life and I think it's only been exacerbated by the colder weather - fall has arrived in California!

meganbmoore and calixa I most likely will not be around for the City Hunter watching as there is a food truck festival in town and I must eat with two hands the most carnitas, tacos, bacon thingies, Filipino fusion food, banh mis, that I can. Because being stuck out in suburbia, food trucks are more of a city thing and I'm not traipsing off to LA just to stalk the ( Read more... )

So it's been a little over two weeks since I came back from South Korea, and I'm finally feeling some semblance of 'normal.' As in, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Case in point - the relationship I have with my mother. It's nowhere near as bad as it was when I was a teenager because now that I'm older, I can understand and ( Read more... )

I'm back in the states, have been for a week now and my sleeping patterns are almost back to normal! Knock on wood. An early birthday wish shout out to mistakency. May it be full of delight and pastry and intelligent conversation ( Read more... )

Tuesdays and Thursday nights I teach essay & debate and TOEFL test prep. Everyone remarked that I seemed sad - which given the circumstances - is an understatement. I'm trying to not be a martyr, as kitsune714 warned me against and remember exactly why and who I did this for, but TTH classes are so hard ( Read more... )
