my 10 thoughts...

1. i am ridiculously hooked on asian dramas right now. sparks superbly bad couch potato habits out of me, like super late nights...
2. random trip to portland was nice. interestingly, i felt more relaxed because i had no internet access in the hotel
3. rentals are lame. if i stayed at my current place, my rent would increase $210. but as a new tenant it's only a $65 increase. wtf
4. so anyway... new apartment lease in june! time to start packing
5. watched a live chinese yo-yo performance, then realized it's been 7 years since i've performed on stage. geez, how time flies...
6. lately i feel more and more out of place
7. playing in a kickball league is a nice change of pace and quite fun, despite our team losing every game... miserably
8. few more spring photo additions
9. i'm tired of hanging out with strangers
10. daylight until 9:30pm is messing up my sense of time... gah

super long overdue post

wow it's been a long time.
1. big photo update. some additions to 2012 beginnings, then spring and mom's visit photos
2. regarding my mom's visit... it was a fine time. lots of good food, lots of neat places, all packed into 4 days. plus, the most expensive meal i have ever paid for - alaskan king crab for 2. nom nom nom...
3. lately i have not been making good use of my time. being a big hermit, which leaves my activeness and social life behind
4. that said though, i am doing more variety of activities like rock climbing, scavenger hunts, kickball... hoping to add yoga and swimming back into the mix
5. apparently, i am very hard to impress now
6. why am i too stubborn to listen to my mother's health advice?
7. watching game of thrones helps solidify the characters from the books into my brain
8. lately i have been thinking a lot about finding my voice, be it at work, in social situations, or listening to my own... what am i doing here and now, and why?
9. i'm hunting for apartments again, since my rent was raised $200. sadness, though somewhat excited to save money for once
10. i still have a bad habit of shutting people out of my life
