Only you.

Yes. Only you could notice it, and only you would ask if I wanted to go out and celebrate.

In other news, white water rafting was a hoot. I don't think I've had that much fun on water since inner tubing at the Little cottage. Admittedly, inner-tubing was more exciting because of the speed, but rafting was exciting in a different way. It was more the power-of-nature-to-smash-you-on-a-rock kind of exciting. Trail riding was power-of-nature-to-smash-your-balls exciting. Cam says galloping is easier, but I figure I need to clock some more time on a saddle before trying a gallop.

There's so much love on SDEH (/Sarcasm). I think people are just too busy living their lives to put much time into community dragonboat. At this point, being out of school and all, I feel it's better to form a team of close local friends to train for a season... but where am I going to find 25 local friends who hang out together all the time? This first half-year has been full of dissapointment in every area of my life. Maybe if I get a medal tomorrow, I'll feel better.

The alien-ness of chinese culture.

My parents are back from their trip in Asia, predominantly through China and Hong Kong. I asked them to bring me back a chinese Maxim, and they did.

Now, for those who are unfamiliar with Maxim magazines, theres a line of text that runs across the top of the front cover of the magazine, above the word 'Maxim.' Here in North America, the bar usually reads "Sex · Sports · Beer · Gadgets · (insert something here)." Sometimes its slightly different, but generally speaking, most of the magazines begin with Sex, Sports, Beer and Gadgets. The idea here is that the magazine focuses on those topics. If you pick up a Maxim, you should expect to read about Sex, Sports, Beer and Gadgets, in that order of importance.

Okay, so back on the topic at hand, I got my chinese Maxim, and I noticed the bar that runs across the top reads "Fashion · Tiger · Gadgets · Train · Girls · Grooming." What the fuck is that? We know the target demographic is teenaged - 25 yr old males, so what does this say about the priorities of young chinese men? Fashion, not Sex; Tiger, whatever the hell that means, not Sports; Gadgets - okay; Train? What the hell? Girls - is this another way of saying Sex? Grooming - hand in hand with fashion, I suppose. Can chinese guys aged 18-25 be any more effeminate? That list of priorities reads like something out of a womens' magazine.

For fuck's sake...

How could you not know how to copy and paste???

haaa.......I just walked over to the recycling bin to empty my three hole punch......half of the confetti ended up on me and the floor. there was only one witness, and she saw me standing there, slowly picking off the confetti from my shirt so as not to make more fall onto the floor. then i looked around....looked at the floor....and hesitantly walked away. she had the decency not to laugh at me. ....if i saw me in that situatioon i would've cracked up.

There. Just highlight text, copy, go make a post in blogger, change the date and time, and paste into the box...
