China Blog #3

This is a complimentary post about a grocery store. It's called Hong Qi Chain Store. The sign is the last picture. I like grocery shopping in foreign countries. It's one of my favourite parts of any holiday. Sigh... Grocery shopping. My love.

Self explanatory.

Yes, they have Oreos.

Yes, they have Asian snacks. Probably because it's Asia.

I love eating Colon.

You're welcome!

China Blog #2

OH YEAH. Two China blogs in one night. Hold up. You might even get three.

Wait, let me let you in on a little secret... The only reason I'm doing this is because I can't figure out picture formatting on blogger for a hot piece of pie. Hence I'll do it in many, many installments.

GREAT STONE DRAGON. Har har, Mulan references...

Horse's ass. Cos I have no shame


Yeah, that's a slinky in a pond. Who knew China had slinkies?

China Blog #1

Oh hai. I can't believe I'm actually sticking to my promised schedule of blogging. For a while there I felt a bit like communitychannel... That bitch rarely delivers. But when she does, oh; it is glorious. I'm too lazy to have any sort of organization so I'm just going to spam you with pictures. Your welcome.

This is a bunch of fruit at a fruit stand. Nice!

The Asian squat: it's everywhere.

Rumpled bedsheets after first night in Cheng Du (no dirty suggestions please).

The view outside our hotel room.

Taylor Swift - "Tell Me Why"

God, she is perfect. Her dancing is so hilarious yet adorable, endearing and gorgeous. I read the most adorable comment on one of her youtube videos by a girl. I will paraphrase:

"Taylor is my friend. I wake up with her music and go to sleep with it."

Sometimes I feel this way. Yes, most/all of her songs are love songs and yes, I've never been in love in that romantic way. But nonetheless, I can listen to a sad love song when I feel sad and I feel better. Or better yet, I feel sad and listen to a happy song and I feel happy.

Anyway, I need to know if I should keep my fringe or not. But I can't ask Little Mishelle as I usually would because I sometimes thinks she coddles me by telling me what I want to hear so I'll shut up (because I'm actually really annoying behind this cool and awesome facade). And also because I know she loves fringes because even though she says she has matured from her circa year nine persona with all the skulls and red and black, I know she still loves that shit.

And what's more skully and red and black than fringes? Yeah, I know right.

But I just can't decide. I like hair without fringes because it's less maintenance, it's easier to pull your hair into a ponytail etc. I like hair with fringes because even though you need to trim it consistently it means you never have to tuck your hair behind your ear to get it out of your face.

Yeah, I think about silly little details like this a lot.

Like how I noticed F has massive nose pores like me. That's kind of when I decided we were meant for each other...

But I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around. My faith in you was fading, when I met you on the outskirts of town...

I don't know, those lyrics just felt really appropriate here. That and I wrote them as I was listening to them...

I've decided that in order to minimize effort needed to put into my China blogs I will only post a few choice photos. Prepare for this later tonight...

Taylor Swift - "Hey Stephen"

When Taylor Swift performs she looks like an angel. She is so sweet, lovely and kind. People say she's so fake but I look at her and I find her completely sincere. Yes, sometimes she acts purposely surprised at award shows but friends, that is because she wants to appear gracious and thankful and it's because she cares about other people, she wants them to feel appreciated and loved.

Her future husband is going to be the luckiest man in the world.

So, still haven't gotten around to China blogs...

Wicked Three-Bar Jump

I just included this paragraph as an entry into my FCP portfolio. One day into second semester and I'm already bored as fuck of this tomfoolery.

"Overconfidence is a fourth factor influencing risk perception. Overconfidence can reduce risk perception as people may believe they have more skills to overcome a challenge than they actually have and hence the probability of failure or negative consequence is less in their mind. For example, as a child I considered myself quite a capable monkey-bar enthusiast. Hence, when attempting a wicked three-bar jump I thought I would easily reach it. Unfortunately, overconfidence clouded my risk perception as I did not correctly perceive the probability of missing the third bar, falling and fracturing my arm as, alas, I did."

Skin

Okay, so I now have official reason to believe that my skin is better than it was one year ago. Reasons for this decision:

1. Today, Kim, Big Michelle and Little Mishelle said my skin looked fine.

2. I saw a picture from China in which my skin looks halfway decent. It might have just been the lighting but it was very moralising (that is the opposite of demoralising, I don't care if it's not in your dictionary).

Success? Let's see where this goes.

Hopefully tonight I will get around to a picture blog... That and pre-reading. Sigh.

Lazy

My laziness has taken itself to a whole new level. The only thing of substance I've done in the last week is write on the whiteboard, "Timetable. FCP pre-reading." Going back to uni will be fabulous. I know it.

In other news, I put forth to you two choices. Either I start working on my China photo blogs (which I am so lazy to do) or I work on a "Day in the Life of Junaberry" series because my daily life is so incredibly exciting. It will encompass minute-by-minute photos and descriptions of my daily activities and thoughts. Trust me, it will be really, really exciting.

Except...

BESIDES JAMES MARSDEN.

God, that man is sex.

Please read bottom to top. That was the way God intended...

No Doubt

It helps that they're both the most beautiful people in the world.

In my opinion.
