thought-provoking house S6E1 quotes (mon, sep. 22)
- why do you think people will like you less if they know the truth?
- you gave him a moment of pure happiness (and i think to myself, how often can we say that for ourselves? that we've experienced)
- why do you value your failures more than your successes?
- ahh, house is so smooth. going from a hug to a dance. :)

aw, i just realized my last post was my 50th!

spoiled
reminder: do not compare situations. relativity, ... in moderation.
anyway, i just realized i have been really spoiled. especially in keeping touch with my friends, and how, amazingly, i still am. very much. i just realized that roughly, every time i check my email (which must be ~2x a day, hah...), there is usually something new awaiting me. i mean sure i subscribe to the wiki daily article and all, but besides that ... usually a friend has emailed me back. (when everyone tries to at least once every 2 weeks it is not as difficult as it sounds, or at least that is when their rebound rates are.)
anyway, i realized this when last night i checked my email and bradley had emailed me (after a week). and this morning shune had relied back, and then tonight jonathan had replied back (after a month), it's just ... yeah. it's pretty neat! :)
so i decided that i am indeed spoiled by my friends. thanks!
and all the ppl that talk to me on gmail chat while i am work...aww... yeah i was worried i wouldn't be in the loop but i feel like --indeed-- i am still very much in it!
yay for karen's friends! (i feel like barney..didn't he say something like that?)

"dance with me, i want to be your partner can't you see?"
and comebacks:
- poetically pathetic by amber pacific
" If you ever had the chance,
Would you make your life seem right?
Or would you only hold it back,
The good times, the hard, and the bad.
Whatever you say is alright,
Just as long as there's no doubt.
Could you look me in the eye"
- gone so young by amber pacific
"I never thought that this could go
And take me away from all I know
And leave me to think I'm on my own*"
* this is so me in germany right now! woah! (!)

coping
it's been hard being over here. well i mean in the same ways i thought it would be, but you never really know to what degree you are dealing with things, until well, you do? you know? like i'm always afraid of doing things, but that's because i don't know what's in store. but then once i do it, it's really not so bad. hm, i just contradicted/counter-pointed myself.
anyway, i've been coping by watching the oc like a maniac (i'm talking 4+ episodes daily), currently on season 3. and then rereading harry potter 7. it just reminds me of home so much :)
then i go to bed exhausted, sleep immediately, go to work, and cycle continues. hmm.. yeah.
but this wknd and next will be the penzberg volksfest, and then the next next next wknd after that will be oktoberfest, so it should be nice to get out. hm, yeah.

(so) far away...
sometimes i'm so bothered that i'm miles (plus an ocean, or even...nautical miles, if that is more than the land miles) away from everybody. i feel like i'm falling behind as everybody (or fine, just the people in my year) prepare to graduate, are looking for jobs, etc... while i just, put life on a standstill and spend the rest of my time in germany. you know, being in no hurry to graduate, to get a job, to get back to ... my "real life," or "life as i know it?"
:sigh:
but i still wouldn't change a thing. i wonder what that says.

what's truly embarassing
so the following thoughts have also been swimming around in my head for quite some time. i wanted to wait until i had more time to write it more poetically, or fine, just coherently, but like i tried to explain below, i feel like it just might burst so i'm going to go out with it
i've been mulling over what's truly embarassing, and how what embarasses us shows a lot of who we are. are we embarassed about the clothes we wear? what we look like? or how much better off we are than some people? hurting other people's feelings? everyone staring at you? (hmm..i remember having better examples)
i guess i remember mostly when i was young, playing truth or dare, and if you chose truth, you asked the most embarassing question you could think of, which was almost always - who do you like?
and it's just, why should we be embarassed about that? liking someone? who we like should be someone we're proud to show off, someone who matches/meshes with us well/like us (and how often do we admit we're ashamed of ourselves). besides, loving someone is rather beautiful, and truly liking/loving someone, rather rare. i don't see anything embarassing about that.
on another hand, dishing out nasty insults about people. i think that's pretty embarassing, i don't want people to see that side of me, and i try to, hm, "modify my heart." and yet, we do that all the time, as if we're not really ashamed of it.
yeah, just some thoughts. it's such an interesting topic, i wish i had had more time to mull things over but it has been weeks now and nothing new has cropped up.

fortunate son
heh... well i am a daughter, and sister, not a sun, but as far as i know CCR did not write a song about fortunate daughter/sister, so in order to make the title kind of cool, fortunate son it is! except the song is about the war, and i just wanted to write "fortunate"
hm..maybe it should just be: i feel fortunate/priviledged
----------------
so recently (even before i came to germany), i've had this feeling that i am just really lucky. and rich too. (not in the monetary sense, well, that too, but that's not what i mean.) it's just i've never really had to worry about anything, having money for food, clothes, even school. not really. it's always been, self-imposed.
hmm, this thought seemed so much larger in my head. the can' contain-all-of-it-and-must-write-down-now-for-fear-of-forgetting-everything. you know? the feeling you get when you have a dream once you wake up in the morning and you have to hurry and have to remember your dream before you do anything else or else you'll forget it? (i have this thing about how you forget your dreams once you use the bathroom.) and goodness knows how big your bladder actually is. well, i'm asian and a women so it probably is a lot bigger than mine.
