Not feeling hugely talkative tonight
1. I sent out a batch of post cards today. Finally. You know after talking about it months ago. But omg sent out and I found out when the post office is still open during a time after I get off work, even if the window is tiny. So post cards! And possibly the two boxes that are in the odds and ends state still, put loitering across my desk here.
All of you who get post cards need to thank neenie. I'm not sure I'd ever remember, beyond seeing the boxes and forgetting to take the time to write, if it wasn't for her patient reminders and willful wanting of something Korean and post card shaped for her collection.
2. My parents come in tomorrow night. This still kind of bowls me over suddenly each of the times I remember it. I will have parents tomorrow. Cause I'm so lacking in them now. Heh. But in person and full of awesome plans for themselves and for me with them, or for me, with friends/coworkers and them. I'm really stunningly awed by how this trip is looking to go for me and them.
2b. I finally got in touch with Linda. Remember Linda? That nice lady and her husband who saved me in San Francisco and adopted me until Seoul? I finally got an e-mail through to her, after much fail on my part to make calls and the evil school buffer of her school bouncing me out. And so it is looking very positively like I may get to see them at their school's International Faire this coming Sunday while my parents are experiencing once of the Sunday morning churches in town. So giddy about making connections. I may be late on the up take, but I'm not entirely oblivious?
3. I'm gonna write a music meme, stolen from trelali, until neenie comes to steal my brain again. As she always does.
Put your music player on shuffle.
Press forward for each question.
Use the song title as the answer to the question even if they don't make sense. You'll be surprised though.
How am I feeling today?
I've Been to Paradise But I've Never Been to Me // Charlene
(That titles fits so much of the time lately.)
Will I get far in life?
No End // The Ark
(I am unsurprised, and unafraid. Still the only urge is to hold My Girl's hand.)
How do my friends see me?
Lean on Me // Michael Bolton
(I will refrain from smiling too big?)
Where will I get married?
You // Vast
(I could hang my hat on this kind of love.)
What is the story of my life?
Always // Bon Jovi
(I can see it. Easily.)
What was high school like?
Combat // Flobots
(Uh. Maybe. With the singing. And fakeness.)
How can I get ahead in life?
At A Springe-wel // Mediaeval Baebes
(Through the means of love. I'm so surprised?)
What is the best thing about me?
Co-Dependent // Chantal Kreviazuk
(Not so much. Got the t-shirt though.)
What is today going to be like?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8b3VU8pEmc // Staind
(Today was not like this. And I hope tomorrow is not.)
What is in store for this weekend?
The Big One (Instrumental) / Toy Story: The Original Walt Disney
(I'm completely fine with this since we're all DMZ tripping it and family hanging out.)
What song describes my parents?
Going Under // Evanescence
(I have had past periods where this fit very well.)
To describe my grandparents?
Big Machine // Merril Bainbridge
(Seeing as I decided I would grow up to be my grandmother, and it never changed -- yes.)
How is my life going?
Breathe Me // Sia
(This fits sometimes, except for asking.)
What song will they play at my funeral?
Nothing Really Matters // Madonna
(I could be very okay with this.)
How does the world see me?
Stellar // Tallywood String Quarter Tribute to Incubus
(I'll just be over here...giggling a little.)
Will I have a happy life?
Where It Never Rains // Vast
(I'm a little more realistic; and yet wanting.)
What do my friends really think of me?
Snow // Brokeback Mountain
(I really like that it's instrumental and peaceful.)
Do people secretly lust after me?
Burning Down the House // Xena: Warrior Princess, Volume 4
(I'm takin' that as a yes? Geez. You people are weird.)
How can I make myself happy?
Act One: Gimmie! Gimmie! // Mamma Mia!
(I need a man? Or a father figure. I've skipped dependence on either?)
What should I do with my life?
My Strongest Suit (Reprise) // Aida
(I could see this being me and My Girl talking?)
Will I ever have kids?
Wherever I May Roam // Four Cellos does Metallica
(Apparently I'll be having babies all over? This does not surprise me either.)
