(10:32:19 PM) 举案齐眉: clearly my life would make a fantastic anecdotal book
(10:33:12 PM) tor!: that's a star chapter right there

yes, you care. you care very much. my life would be the BEST MOST BORING BOOK EVER. HURRAH. i would do battle with mushrooms! i will compare in minute detail all the karaoke places i've been! i will narrate about how my friends are all more interesting characters than i am! and my brother will steal the show with his fantastic kpop renditions in the bathroom (he's currently singing hoot as he takes out his contacts). bestsellers, you know it.

hahahahahaahahahaha i would read that book. also you needn't do battle with mushrooms; just shove them over to me and I will merrily eat them all for you. :Db

[meiface.livejournal.com]

BUT MY BOOK WILL NOT BE INTERESTING W/O BATTLES and it's not like i own a pokemon :(

[forochel.livejournal.com]

O THIS IS TRUE!!! okay as long as you do battle with mushrooms armed with cooking implements it's cool :Db?

[meiface.livejournal.com]

i was thinking about battling w/ mushroom-lovers since everyone got so excited and up-in-arms in that post where i talked about mushrooms-- but i figured it wouldn't be much of a battle, since basically i would fling mushrooms at them and they would eat them and all would end well. SO I WILL BATTLE MUSHROOMS. WITH MY TRUSTY CHOPSTICKS. ahhh chopsticks, the only utensil anyone needs, to eat everything with!

[forochel.livejournal.com]

all battles should seriously go that way. the world would be a better place for it.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

where the opponents eat the projectiles flung at them?!

[forochel.livejournal.com]

all right, so the metaphor needs a bit of work. but, y'know, harmonious outcomes and all that.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

i usually win my battles! :D except when the odd mushroom slips under the radar in a soup or something and then is like SURPRISE!! worst surprise ever.

my brother is a weirdo but ilh.

[pregnantcigar.livejournal.com]

not kidding - I've been having the same issues with my blankets! I either push them to the floor at some point during the night or they just lie there heavy and oppressive (as you aptly described :D). what to do?

[meiface.livejournal.com]

switch blankets! raid your parents' closets! i did learn from my parents that apparently silk-cotton blankets are better at insulating and are also much lighter! also more expensive, obviously, but i think they just wanted to make me feel special that tey were allowing me to use their specially-bought-in-china! blanket. we shall see how i fare tonight!

[pregnantcigar.livejournal.com]

I've made so many switches already and it gets ridiculously cold at night after we turn off the heat ;_; I've taken to sleeping with a 热水袋! good luck though and report back to us tomorrow~

[meiface.livejournal.com]

you turn off the heat entirely? we just crank it really low, i think... or maybe we turn it off too, i am not sure. "save money!" says my dad. "THEN WHY DID YOU BUY A BIG HOUSE," say i, cold and disgruntled.

anywayyy stay warm and i shall endeavor to do the same!

[regicidaldwarf.livejournal.com]

BUT I LOVE HEAVY BLANKETS. JUST LIKE I LOVE MUSHROOMS.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

USUALLY THERE IS NOTHING I ENJOY MORE THAN BEING WARM UNDER HEAVY BLANKETS ON A COLD MORNING--

but seriously these blankets are not snuggly, they are like NO BREATHING ALLOWED!!! which is somewhat of a concern.

also i bet that is not true! you do not love to lie warm under mushrooms. and you do not love to eat heavy blankets. ohoho i have spotted your lie!

i may be very tired atm.

[regicidaldwarf.livejournal.com]

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT, MEI. MY FAVORITE BLANKET MIGHT BE A MUSHROOM BLANKET. YOU SHOULD NOT PRESUME TO KNOW THESE THINGS.


Wow my capslock key appears to be broken. Sorry about that.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

if your favorite blanket is a mushroom blanket THEN YOU MUST BE THE CATERPILLAR FROM WONDERLAND. /detecting skills like a sleuth oh yeah

.............................I like this conversation, because I suspect I have patriarchy blankets too. D:

[meiface.livejournal.com]

OH NO, REBEL, REVOLT! D:

here's a funny story: the word "revolt" always makes me think of birds molting in a very...proactive, determined, pitchfork-carrying kind of way. FIERCE MOLTING. oh my brain, it's a special place.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

patriarchy blankets!

[meiface.livejournal.com]

THEY LIVE TO OPPRESS YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP :(

[papered.livejournal.com]

.....

haha oh mei, WHY IS THIS YOUR LIFE, ♥, also I would totally read the book of your life, :333.

your brother is almost unbearably cute omg

[meiface.livejournal.com]

the book of my life would be FILLED WITH CAPSLOCK and it would be great :D

[black-goose.livejournal.com]

give me your blankets! my quilt is too small for my bed so if I try to snuggle up at night my feet stick out :(

[meiface.livejournal.com]

nooooo that's so sad. :( you should go steal some more blankets so you are warm all over!

[chaos-harmony.livejournal.com]

and my brother will steal the show with his fantastic kpop renditions in the bathroom (he's currently singing hoot as he takes out his contacts).

Oh my god, that's precious.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

yes my brother makes for the best stories. :D i should totally write this book just to include the anecdotes about him, haha.

[darkunicorna.livejournal.com]

Haha your life is the best, Mei (:

Also, LOL at your brother singing kpop in the bathroom

[meiface.livejournal.com]

only the bits i share! mostly it is boring and tedious, but sometimes there are funny/weird moments. :D
