the world passes you in a blur of lights

[meitachi]

Because I need a study break. This is how I'm wasting my time in between doing my outline due tomorrow:



Oh, I suppose I forgot to mention that Boy and I broke up. I don't really want to get into details, but trust me that it was the right decision to make, and we're still friends. We've had our awkward moments, and we'll both still need time, but we will be okay.

While I'm killing time, let's also have a meme:


16 Random Facts About Me

01. If I could have three wishes, my first would be that I had a successful and happy life that facilitated my parents' pride and happiness. Second would be the lifelong health of everyone in my family. Third, I would reserve until I was older and wiser.

02. I love eggs! In whatever form, but particularly fried or as egg tarts. So, so delicious.

03. I hate overly negative people, but I'm afraid I'm a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to that, because I feel like all I ever do is complain. Though I think there's definitely a difference between realism and cynicism.

04. I once won $100 for a first-place short story in eleventh grade. And published a poem. I'm not proud of either upon reread. Funny how our writing styles change and develop, along with our tastes.

05. I love Disney songs. I know the words to most of them. I can and will sing them, and stop looking at me that way. I'm allowed! I cry over them too, because I cry over everything, easily.

06. I am absolutely in love with green tea and Earl Grey. I would not be able to survive without either. Earl Grey with two sugars and a little milk starts off my mornings, and green tea gets me through the rest of life. I will always be a proponent of tea, and people who don't drink it just confuse and appall me.

07. I'm not a big fan of cookies. I've grown pretty fond of the oatmeal cranberry ones the law school cafe sells (overpriced!), but generally, nothing I really get a craving for.

08. Brownies with nuts > brownies without nuts.

09. Skinny (0.3 or 0.38) pens from Asia make me happy, because then you can write tiny and all good stuff!

10. I can't give blood.

11. I like cleaning and washing dishes in particular because I was raised that way and you can see instant results of your work! Unlike, say, law school. But I only clean for people I like.

12. Going too long (the definition of "too long" varies) without writing makes me stressed and unhappy. There is nothing more frustrating than wanting to write and finding yourself blocked.

13. Russell Peters and Eddie Izzard entertain me a lot. I haven't really found other comedians to be that funny - a lot of them just come off as stupidly offensive, as if I'm supposed to laugh at that. Granted, I will admit I have not been exposed to that many comedians.

14. I once downloaded WinAmp just so I could have pretty skins! But I couldn't do playlists and my music was grossly unorganized, and then I was really unhappy because I like nicely-organized music. :( So I went back to iTunes. I don't suppose there's anything simpler, smaller, and still good at neat organization?

15. Asian food is the best in the world. Chinese food in particular is something I can never ever tire of eating.

16. I'm INFJ.


I totally have not had the time or interest in fandom lately. :( Sorry guys. I hope you're getting your fun where you can! I've turned to eating a lot with friends, who make me happy when life gets me down. I've sneaked in a few Friends episodes and the odd Merlin fic. Lately I've been reading and rereading some BL manga. Mostly I'm adrift and between fandoms again. Maybe one day soon I'll do another 100-word drabble request. I miss writing.

In conclusion: I suck at online communication recently, and I'm sorry. It may continue for a bit...

why can't you give blood?

fjldajdsf i want smaller pens! ;^; .5 or .7 is too big

[meiface.livejournal.com]

alksdjf not 110 lbs. :| Awful. One day, I will be able to! Since I'm O- and everyone can take my blood.

.5 is okay but I like smaller - www.mg-usa.com has lovely skinny Korean pens. :D Shipping is hell though.

[ch-ar-me.livejournal.com]

i totally agree about the pens. *o* the only pen i really use is pilot's gtech c3 line which is happily 0.15 *___*

and the eggs. i have a thing for them fried but half-cooked. and brownies + cashews!

[meiface.livejournal.com]

oh god, 0.15 sounds orgasmic. How can it be so tiny and fine! I must find this pen. I have always been a fan of Pilot. :D

Mm yes, I like my eggs over medium. Not quite over easy though. Not too runny...

[danii06.livejournal.com]

06)I will always be more of a coffee person but I drink tea occasionally. I like Earl Grey but I don't take it with anything, though I love drinking it while eating chocolate. I like green tea ice cream and green tea soy lattes, but I do not drink green tea plain, because I am odd that way.

08) Am not a big fan of brownies, but I agree, w/ nuts > no nuts.

09) There are no skinny pens there? I'm most fond of the Pilot G3, and the Dong-A .4 gels, though they don't make my handwriting less loopy.

16) I'm INTP.

*hugs* Chin up hon. :) I know about the fandom thing-- I can't remember the last time I've read fic. I'm reading lots of Terry Pratchett though. Can't believe I only started reading him now.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I love green tea anything, pretty much. Except frozen yogurt - but then,I'm not a huge fan of frozen yogurt in general. :/ Or maybe it's just the place we have here isn't very good.

No skinny pens in the US. :( Can only buy them from China Asia/online.

Yay, so happy to hear you're reading Pratchett! For the first time, I met people who don't like him ("too funny," they say - how can you fault him for being too funny?!), and it boggled my mind. I'm glad you're enjoying his books. ♥

0.25mm PENS BABY~

You know what's sad? I miss you. AND I LIVE WITH YOU. Will continue hunting for the DVD rip of Redcliff II so we can have an apartment movie night again. ♥

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. It's tragic. Assignment due tomorrow, living at school, and lots of running around for interviews recently. I feel like I never see you & Linda.

Ooh yes, I hope we get a hold of Red cliff II soon.

And good luck with your homework/reading/papers/labs/things you do. ;__; Like I know.

[konnistique.livejournal.com]

Oh hiiiiiiiii Mei 8D It's nice to be able to comment~ ♥!!! Been following your rljrnl but couldn't comment and lack of words in that area, but I hope you understand ^-^

#9! yesyesyes. I lend my tutor a .3 pen once and she kept trying to hold and write with it properly. in the end she's like 'um connie, do you have another pen? this one's too sharp' ;~~~~;

we miss your writing too :)

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know, I turned off comments on my RL journal because I usually just don't have the time to deal with them. Life tops me so hard. D: So no worries about that. ♥ I hope you're doing okay! I've been sort of remiss about keeping up with the flist recently.

I will find some time to do a 100-word drabble request! Not sure when though.

[chinapaper.livejournal.com]

Your screenshot is so cute :"> :"> :">

04. .....Why are we the same person.

Pens~ pens~~~~ ;DD

[meiface.livejournal.com]

It's from my baby laptop, which is why it's 1024x600. Smaller screen! Taken up by my clearly-productive gchats...

04. Weird. :| WHY ARE YOU ME?

Need more pens. Looking seriously into those Pilot G-Tec-C4 pens aksdljfks amazing.

[sapphynashi.livejournal.com]

I made eggs last night for dinner due to lack of other possible food in the apartment, but it did go so well. I am such a disaster in the kitchen, god.

lol, what BL manga have you been reading? Any good (well, "good") ones? XD

♥ Thank you for your text the other day, too. ;o;

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I hope you keep on the road to recovery! Being ill, in whatever way, always sucks. Drink tea, take medicine, etc. I'm glad your friends have been taking care of you. :D

Also, I roll with glee to see how BB fandom has taken ahold of you. ♥

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Every few months, I take the test and wonder if I've changed. Always turns out I'm still INFJ, haha. I guess that's me for life.

I do need to acquire more Asian pens though...

Thanks, and good luck with your studies/life as well! \o/

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

I at first, uh, didn't think you were talking about pens. Let us leave it at that >.<

Disney songs rule! Because they're usually so heartfelt and happy~ (or the ones I like anyway)

[forochel.livejournal.com]

JEM!!!

[taylormercury.livejournal.com]

Donghae fixes are always the answer! ♥

TEA. IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD. I have to have a cup of it every morning or else I just dies. I have a cup next to me right now~~~!

I love Disney songs! and could also probably be able to sing along to too many of them xD

I....don't want to seem stupid but, INFJ????

and I have missed you Mei!!! ♥♥

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Donghaeee. Sometimes when I get caught up in the craziness of school, I don't have time for fandom and I forget how much some things (people!) in it make me so incredibly happy. Oh Haeface. ♥

It makes me happy that you love tea too! :D

INFJ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INFJ), from a super famous personality test thing. Pretty accurate, I think.

I've missed you too, Mica! How have you been? Busy? Happy? Tell me!

[forochel.livejournal.com]

2. MMM EGG TARTS ♥

5. DISNEY ♥

I KNOW THAT YOUR POWERS OF RETENTION
ARE AS WET AS A WARTHOG'S BACKSIDE~
BUT THICK AS YOU ARE PAY ATTENTION!
MY WORDS ARE A MATTER OF PRIDE

9. THE NEXT CARE PACKAGE, I SWEAR! IT WILL COME...EVENTUALLY. XD

10. Neither can I! But that's because I'm underage. ONLY FOR FIVE MORE MONTHS THOUGH!!

12. D: *hugs* maybe you ought to carry around a pen with you, and keep your receipts, so the next time you get struck by an overwhelming feeling or just feel empty you can put it down into words on the back of your receipts.

13. TRY THE BRITS.

15. RIIIICEEEEE omg Mei when/if I go to the USA, will I die of lack of Chinese food? D:

[meiface.livejournal.com]

2. I KNOW. I LOVE EGG TARTS. People who don't just sadden me. I don't understand.

9. ♥♥ It is so hard to find skinny pens in the US. I have resorted to online shops, though shipping makes them so much more expensive than they need to be. Alas, woe.

10. YOU WILL BE OLD SO SOON, MISHY.

♥ come visit us and we will always provide you with rice. COME VISIT, NOW. Actually, did I ask you where you want to apply to college?

[black-goose.livejournal.com]

05. I feel sorry for kids growing up now with the Pixar Disney films :( There is something about the original Disney films that just, idk, magical, at the risk of being lolobvious.

09. I shall have to check these pens out! I swear, I hate writing sometimes because the ink goes all blotchy :\

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I love the Disney-Pixar films, but they are a far cry from the original animated films. There was something special about them - possibly just the fact we grew up with them. Who knows?

Yeeees, go for the skinny Asian pens. They are so much fun, and so pretty. *_*

[kyuppuccino.livejournal.com]

09. me too D:

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Doesn't shipping prices make you sad? :( They make me sad. If only I could go to a Koreatown or Little Tokyo, but the US being as large as it is...travel's not quite so convenient.

[uminohikari.livejournal.com]

I drink my tea straight up :| :| I do not understand this sugar/cream thing! It makes it taste like not!tea

Just to horrify your tiny-pen love, I have a set of pens that are 1.0 :D I..can't write with them though, since they make all my words look like a single smear.

I can't give blood either because I am not of the right age!

Aww, I liked winamp. :3 I had my music neurotically organized by folder though, so iTunes confuses me a lot..

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Oh god, 1.0 pens make me D: a lot. I think the only thing they might possibly be good for is signing your name across some super nice, thick paper. They look nice then. Otherwise, just give me 0.5 and smaller!

English tea tastes better with sugar & milk, I think! People who attempt to do that to Asian tea horrify me though, haha. I'm somewhat hypocritical, idk.

I must find another media player...

[ludicmelody.livejournal.com]

I CAN SHOW YOU THE WORLD
SHINING, SHIMMERING, SPLENDID
TELL ME PRINCESS, NOW WHEN DID YOU LAST LET YOUR HEART DECIDE?

I love Disney too. And recently, I'm going back to all the classics. I'm reverting back to my childhood!

Skinny pens♥!

1. Mei, you're so sensible. XD

6. Personally, I prefer Red Tea as opposed to Earl, but green tea's enough to last me my entire life.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

YES~ Disney songs are so fun to sing. They're so much ♥ all around.

01. It's one area where I think I'd like to be practical. :/

06. Mm, Snapple Red Tea with pomegranate is so so good but I hardly ever have it because it's hard to find and...expensive... :( So I stick with my Asian green tea and sometimes Earl Grey.

[out-of-words24.livejournal.com]

i can't give blood either. and russell peters = FTW.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Russell Peters is hilarious. I love his accents. :D

Also, bb, I'm so sorry you're so tired and working so hard! You lead a crazy busy life and I hope you get some rest soon. ::hugs::

[peachpastiche.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry I confuse and appall you D:

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Me too! Oh why don't you like tea? Well, at least you drink coffee.

On a different note: GAME TOMORROW NIGHT. I will be in Carolina blue all freaking day. With the, idk, three other people here from UNC, haha.

[loveshaking.livejournal.com]

1. I like your wishes, especially your third one. It's thoughtful.

3. Me, too! ;__;

5. BE OUR GUEST, BE OUR GUEST! I love Disney movies~ One time in sophomore year, my history teacher showed Mulan in class, and everyone sang along during "Be a Man." It was pretty awesome.

16. I'm (now) ISTJ. Hmm, I wonder if it's significant that my type changed? I remember that I was borderline on the other parts though while I was a pretty solid J. :D;
