i'm gone for one week...
and i think charlie is stealing my best friend. i knew this would happen.
Watchsuburban america. a land where people decorate their homes and then broadcast their own christmas radio station to coordinate with the lights. there’s no place like home.
2am. wide awake.
i took 2 naps today. 2. i’m going to force myself out of bed at like 9am tomorrow morning, and not even sit down until 10pm. i will feel normal again. i will not sleep during daylight hours for an entire month. THIS MUST GO AWAY.
25 years of living bliss.
i skipped work yesterday, trying to sleep off the cold i’ve had for over a week. went back today to much more concern than i had anticipated from the korean staff. almost passed out in my first afternoon class. was told to go home early. slept part of the afternoon. i’m not sure what my deal is, but it will end today. i’m mandating it. because…
birthday plans for tomorrow...
2 weeks!
today, i was slightly complaining about the fact that i will have a bit of christmas shopping to do once i’m home, in those 3 days before christmas. “the malls will be sooooo crowded.” but then i remembered that i live in seoul and frequently shop in myeongdong on saturdays. silly me. i’ve been training for this.

my 12 year old sister is hilarious.
sister: come on. you should live here. it's much better. mom was watching a tv show called kimchi chronicles and it is in korea and they were eating beetles! we don't do that here and neither do you.
me: hahaha. most of my korean friends don't like those either.
sister: but it was a stand on the street and people were eating it. we don't have bug stands in america...
this is t-shirt weather!
i’m sorry, but i find it absolutely hilarious when people from cold climates (ie. north dakota, the UP, anywhere in canada, etc…) claim to not be affected by winter weather. i literally overheard “where i come from, this is t-shirt weather” come out of somebody’s mouth recently, on a day when the high was about 40degrees fahrenheit. really? t-shirt weather? what...

10 Things 90s Kids Will Have To Explain To Their... →
“10. Incredibly depressing women in Indiana covered in cats and glass figurines they buy at The Hallmark Store used to troll the web 1.0 to invest thousands of dollars in tiny stuffed animals filled with plastic beans. That happened…”
i never get tired of these.
the first grade at my school has multiple boys who are ridiculously badly behaved, even at such an early age. this entire year, i have been under the impression that it was simply me and their lack of respect for me that drove them to treat me the way they do. i’m not korean. i’m not “allowed” to speak korean to them. their english SUCKS. they are punks in general....
