Everything is falling into place.
So I'm done first year. I've been done for over 2 months. Life was good to me then, and continues to be great.
I still don't want to grow up.
In the last week, I got a job, my partial I-can-drive-myself-now-but-not-full license, a place to stay, and a midterm nice and done. I wrote some crap that is doing relatively decently, said goodbye to friends that will likely not be seen for a LONG LONG time, and grew up a little. Gained responsibilities.
I watched Toy Story 3 today... with a friend moving out of province. That's far enough to constitute a plane ride. I wanted to cry when I left, but I'd cried all my tears at the end of the movie. It's a good movie; go see it.
I should start prepping for life more-or-less alone. No people down the hall to barge in on, no parents to bother me when I'm on the internet, no... company. Except for math class, work, and the roommate. Who is so surprisingly like me, despite not knowing her all that well, that it's insane.
We'll see if we get along, I guess. I'm afraid I'll do something wrong.
I think there's something wrong with my body. Doctors don't agree, it seems, but they still want me on meds. I don't want the meds, because I'm ok with what's wrong with my body, really. But... maybe the meds can make the mental anguish go away... make me into the person I want to be. Maybe what's wrong with my body is what's messing with my head...
But there's no way to know, cuz I'm not taking the meds. Ever. On pain of death.
Must be going, since i have work in the morrow, but...
Thought I'd drop a line. Life's good. Not that anyone's reading...
I'm getting older too fast. And that scares me.

The Tough Guide to Fantasy Land, and other news
HEY HI HELLO!!!!
Today, I went out to the bookstore (actually, i went to buy movie tickets 5-6 hours before, to ensure not being sold out, then to the pharmacy because the people with me needed detergent, then i wandered to the bookstore while they were paying, and stayed there for a bit). I found this book in the discount section by Diana Wynne Jones, called "The Tough Guide to Fantasy Land". I think it was supposed to say "The Thorough Guide to Fantasy Land" but whatever, it's still amazing :D
An excerpt after the cut!!
Patrons of Inns are mostly AVERAGE FOLK with a sprinkling of STRANGE RACES, and are put in the INN to make the barmaids too busy to serve you and to provide loud conversations followed by a TAVERN BRAWL. In some cases they also show suspicion and growl when you talk to them. All of this is known by the Management as 'atmosphere'. But you should listen to what they say over their tankards of BEER. They will always have the latest rumour, and this will give you a hint about what the DARK LORD is up to now.
Dark Lady. There is never one of these – so see DARK LORD instead. The management considers that male Dark Ones have more potential to be sinister, and seldom if ever employs a female in this role. This is purely because the Management was born too late to meet my Great Aunt Clara.
Did I mention this makes me happy? Very Very Happy. It's basically a dictionary of fantasy things, written in a funny way :D I'm essentially going to use it as a pick me up/ reference book for fantasy stories in the future :D

Oh, and I watched Alice and Wonderland today. Great movie, the effects were amazing, and Mia Waka-whatsit was amazing, and hot in her armor at the end. I quite liked the ending... and the line that she says "I will make my own path!" I also loved how the writing was done. Though I'm not entirely sure the White Queen is any better than the Red Queen... she was kinda weird...

I didn't fail my linguistics exam!! I almost did, but I didn't really, so :D

Happy Belated 2010!!
I have lived in 2 centuries, 2 millenniums, and 3 decades, and I'm not even 20 yet...
Ya, I'm late, it's February... and the last couple posts have been RIP posts... But HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I'm in University, and I never have time to blog, not that anyone reads this. I would just like to say that this year has been so much better so far than last year. Art class that is actually art class is SOOOO worth it and amazing. I wake up every day for breakfast, courtesy of a floormate being courteous enough to wake me up, and I"m now on a diet of 'no-sugar, no-fried-foods', which even the healthiest people on my floor are amazed at... apparently not sneaking the occasional chocolate takes a lot of willpower :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ALSO, though I wasn't nearly as close, and I wasn't nearly as knowledgeable, two of my parents' friends passed away in January... I didn't know them all that well, but RIP Aunty Kit and Uncle MunChoi.
I visited the latter once when he was in the hospital for cancer... The doctors already told him there was nothing they could do, but he was still smiling, still happy, and still so at peace and content with his life, because God was with him, and he was faithful, so he knew where he was going. That kind of faith and strength is amazing, and entirely inspirational.
His son is my age, and we grew up the first couple years together, though I don't know him at all anymore. But his dad and his mom have known my parents since before immigrating, since, like, the early 80's or something. So when everyone who was at the funeral saw me, they (inevitably) told me how similar I looked to my mom, and how similar my brother looked to my dad.
And patted me on the cheek.
Oh joy.
But there was very little sadness in this funeral. There was quiet calm, and a deep sense of loss, but no real sadness, as opposed to the other funerals. I guess it's a testament to how faithful he was, because not only did he know where he was going, everyone else was sure of where he was going as well. He was very close to finishing his Masters in Theology... from what I know about him, he was an amazing man. I kind of wish we had spent more time with him and his family, like we did when I was much younger...
~~~~~~~
Anyways, I have class in a couple minutes, so I have to get going. A less sad, less depressing post, but still RIP. I swear one day, I'll have a regular mundane happnening post, like "Today, I ate scrambled eggs. Again. Just like every other day." kind of post (which, by the way, today, I did have eggs... haha). Until then... Adieu!
