december is coming

and time flies by so fast. here's some random thoughts of mine...
1. is it just me, or there TOO many ways to communicate with people nowadays? i never know which one to use now
2. shortening is disgusting to bake with
3. i wish 10 years ago i were the person that i am now
4. made cupcakes for thanksgiving - spiced apple with maple buttercream... holy sweet awesome maple buttercream
5. i like blind box toys because it makes me feel like a kid again, opening a box without knowing what's inside
6. apathy grows
7. the scent of grapefruit makes me happy
8. when traveling, you realize we are just little ants running everywhere
9. colorquiz is always a fun and hauntingly accurate little personality test
10. i'm bored again... hm.

back from europe

i'm back from europe! er, been back almost a week actually... i took 1650 photos so it will be a long while before they're posted. for now, here are 10 random thoughts related to the trip

1. palaces are cool, but i could never live in one. i would get sick of seeing gold everywhere. maybe that explains sisi's discontent..
2. meeeeeaaaaaaaaaaat yuuuuuuuum
3. austrian dumplings and soups were awesome and tasty
4. melk abbey was a surprisingly breathtaking side trip
5. united airlines domestic feels like cramming sardines. international much better
6. i managed to lose weight from walking despite all the food
7. yes, PSY is global - had a random drunk german guy try dancing "op op!" to me
8. libraries of old books has very unique feel
9. jetlag has been very odd to me. i'm basically useless at night
10. travel is addicting. i want to travel more!
