A Warm Up Excercise
To get back into writing, a list.
1. We were just almost eaten (yes, eaten.) by an allegedly non-threatening mosquito/daddylonglegTHING. Thank goodness for cool headed 27 year-old Norweigian Master students who answer to the screams, laughter, and sounds of frantic running from across the hall.
2. Not to play into stereotypes, but the Canadians must have been so intent on their studies that they temporarily lost aural function.
3. I regret my lack of a "condition" to blame for my voracious, and rather uncontrollable, consumption of "crisps," cereal, cookies, and stroopwafel.
3a. I suppose it could be arranged.
4. There is a pressure to recount every minute detail of the last two, three weeks. It's fueled by a desire to take you all along with me, but it is both unreasonable and, perhaps, undesireable.
5. I have never experienced security as such. I would love you past reason, past the healthiness of It. It's fortunate that you don't reciprocate this particular orientation.
6. Dutch is a very, very ugly language...not that German's reputation is undeserved.
7. I can't provide an unbiased view for Chinese.
8. A corruption scandal can only exist if you're operating off an assumption that corruption is an unnatural presence in your government.
8a. Officially speaking, that is.
8b. Silly commies.
9. Put your hands up for Detroit!
10. I was just smacked upside the head with a Self Absorption 101 textbook. A hardcover, large print edition.
11. Sometimes I feel a very physical pain that correlates with a(n) mental/emotional "heartbreak." A clean break is nothing. When I hear my brother's voice on the phone, my heart tears. Over and over, harsh asperous tears, uneven and unpredicable.
12. I miss a lot of people, but I will leave here with even more people to miss.
13. I cannot live like this, sans microwave, for much longer.
14. It's interesting how I am now known as someone who "works out and eats chicken breast." I would like my printer back, just for demonstrative purposes, so that for one day (but just for one) I could break out of this image and be seen as The Girl Carrying a Printer.
15. There is a fly in here large enough so that I can effortlessly and squintlessly distinguish its green/blue/yellow-y irridescent, origami-paper-like thorax. It is also fat, with an indistinguishable waistline. When I say thorax I mean a thorax-abdomen super-region. A super blinding green region.
16. Disgusting. For those of you who were not lucky enough to be one of the 500 I've already told: I killed a centipede 6 inches long, finger width-wide the other day. In fact, I am now reknowned for my gym-going, chicken-consuming, and bug-annihilating abilities.
17. I love this city!
(Or is he saying "our lovely city?" Detroit is, after all, an undeniably breathtaking locale.)
18. It's nearly midnight...back to Statistical Process Control. Ciao Xx
