OMG my friend is insane. She graduated in May and got a job for an assemblywoman. In November she told me she started dating her supervisor SUPER secretly. I said THAT'S RISKY, she knew it too, but she wants it to work out and she likes him. He's cute, is 28, and wears a suit.

Last week they were found kissing in a bathroom at a holiday party and this week has been hell for her. They're asking him if he's sexually harassed her and they don't know if she's benefitted from the relationship. He went to Niagara Falls, and she wants to know where it's going or she's wasting her time with him. I wondered, "What about your JOB?" XD ::meev::

OMG OMG OMG

I've FINALLY found this video that I've been reminding Julie to post for like 100 years, but she forgot she had it up on her China blog a while ago already!

It's us during the Shanghai Scavenger Hunt during our first week. I'm with Hannah, Chichi, Liz, and Julie (who's recording). One of our tasks was to successfully haggle and so I said I'll buy a stuffed animal bag if they haggle for me (I'm such a high roller). "I like the elephant." My friends told me to look aloof, as if I really don't care. Chichi is the best haggler, she's so good!
http://tmblr.co/ZddcKte9NHqT
We get her frustrated as she's telling us the fine quality of the elephant bag, how she won't go any lower, she refuses.

I love how I said, "Is this the walking away part?"

I dubbed that elephant "Steamy Bun," I wore him for the rest of the scavenger hunt, left him on my bed for the next four months, Baby Alpaca soon joined him, and he's currently hiding my mom's Christmas presents inside of his pouch ::kisaki::

okay back to dying, but at least I have that ::squee::

A guy I met at Jessica's party wrote in his facebook status: "i miss prague" and his friend answered, "if I had a dollar every time I said "I miss Prague" I would legit be a millionaire." Someone else said, "You never stop missing it #realtalk."

Someone posted on his wall "you dont live in prague anymore" because he hasn't changed his location, and he wrote back: "my heart still does."

YES.

Dating bosses is never a good idea. And dating employees is dumb.
People need to learn to keep their grabby fingers to themselves.
No sympathy here. Tell her your friend said she messed up big time and give her a link to this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ_kwxmaJ3U

I was going to write something else but then I started grooving to the song and forgot it. Not like it was important or anyone was going to read it anyway.
So I'll just leave this here....
What would you do if your friend asked you to help make his niece gothic lolita, and then insisted on buying her uggs, lebron nikes, and kangaroo suits?
I'm assuming Wizardry or something equally nerd will creep into there at some point too.
How is there any possibility of success here?

Happy Hoildays and whatever dudes.

Dead baby lamb skins on your feet makes no one a sucess. NO ONE.
But honestly. If she ends up speaking fluent Chinese, playing the electric guitar and hoarding cats I'll accept that as a win too.

Sometimes bangya/guy make me sad. I was reading the MdM 2ch thread and this one person posted that they hope everyone updates on Christmas eve because then it won't be so lonely. That's so sad...
I'm spending the eve and day with friends and cats. Can't imagine my only company being a bandman update.

I don't know why it would even occur in the first place other than an unwanted forced thing. Unless it was true love, haha. She's not looking for sympathy though and I like that XD For me what sucks about that is that it's her first real job of her career, and that's a lame way to start it.

Nerding out here:
My time abroad was more than just months of meandering around. My time abroad was a time when I learned things about myself that I didn’t realize before, when I accepted things about myself that I really didn’t want to accept, and when I added some things to my being that had never occurred to me in the past. And my time in Shanghai is not over because Shanghai, at the end of it all, became more than a place that I am either in or out of. Shanghai became a symbol, that I can choose to leave behind in a place that I will, honestly, probably never see again, or carry with me into whatever comes next. And because I choose the latter, my “time in Shanghai” will never really end.
Every word in that is exactly how I feel! It definitely became a symbol for me too. Maybe for everything good in the world. Someone wrote this poem and I wanted to DIE after reading it:
One thing no one tells you about:
There doesn’t seem to be a word
for when you grow fond of a place
you know you have to leave.
There doesn’t seem to be a word
for the time you will spend
searching for some semblance
of the hole you left behind
in a city you once knew,
a lover you loved and left.
There doesn’t seem to be a word
for “in and of the world.”
But after five months of living together, voices and laughter were all we needed to recognize one another.
I felt blessed to be surrounded by such a diverse group of people—diverse in interests, backgrounds, and of course personality (we had some BIG personalities)—who had somehow managed not only to coexist in peace, but to genuinely care for one another unconditionally.
BRB *goes to die*
Since returning to the States, I’ve had to mentally pinch myself a few times in order to make sure that it wasn’t all just a dream.
YES. Bad Hostess last night was reminiscing and said, "It was all so beautiful and crazy" and she cannot believe she did all of the things she sees in her own pictures. Neither can I!

I wish I had a Banco Santander day again. I can't describe how wonderful and confident I felt that day and the entire weekend. It was really unexpectedly all about me and it was absolutely wonderful. I learned so much about myself. Odera said that was her turning point too because we all became closer during that day, we made new friends, and she felt more confident in herself.

I loved Ting Ting. We were bus buddies. While I looked out the window, she'd talk about things. We said that one day we're going to have apartments in Pudong, and we'll have reunions in Shanghai. She wants to marry a businessman. We'll leave the kids to their nannies and go to Shanghai just for fun, haha. I said, "We NEED to do that!"

Once we got there and explored a bit before the photoshoot, Strickland caught me as I fell. Allison called it a "princess moment," and for the rest of the day there was tension between us, especially in the elevators! Then he'd guide me around the bar and seating areas with his hand on my lower back, and I couldn't believe he would do that, haha. We talked at length and it was wonderful!

I felt awesome during the speech by Botin since I was the only one who spoke Spanish, and my friends thought I had a special connection there, haha. My friends kept saying how much of a Madame President I looked like, it was as if I had come with Botin instead of being a student! I'd marry into the House of _____, do charity work, and they said I looked like I owned 18 businesses. 18. Odera was the best as a reporter! :grin:

Ting Ting and I walked all the way back to the bus, and she thought she was annoying me because her feet were killing her so we walked slowly. I said of course not, and I didn't mind waiting for her. I bought my Ferrari hat and souvenir book. I was still taking it all in. She finally took off her heels and walked barefoot, haha, then we got there fast!

Once most people were dropped off, it was only Prateek, Strickland, Karen, and I. Prateek and Strickland got the way more expensive seats, we let them have it since they love cars, and Prateek told me they were served caviar. I said, "Really??" and Prateek kept at it, Strickland just sat there. I looked at Strickland and asked if Prateek was serious and he told me no. Prateek thanked Strickland for giving up his ticket for the next day so that Prateek can bring his girlfriend to the races, and Strickland said it was really no problem. We walked back on the main road and had pictures taken of us! :grin:

Laura was such a cutie the day after:
Laura: you look splendid, madame president. there is one picture in particular that caught my eye if you know what i mean
Adela: Omggg XD
Laura: hahaha all i can say is GOOD JOB! i mean look at what you were wearing! you were a hot madame
One thing that I loved about what Odera said is that there was no one from our past there. It was the best thing to happen, I've forgotten a lot of my past unless someone pops up physically. While I was there I was a more exaggerated version of "Queen Adela," I could reinvent myself, and I loved it! ::squee::

She reminded me of the first time we ate together to bond. We were having dumplings and bubble tea in the media room, and we introduced ourselves. I felt that "I want to make friends!" nervousness, and I didn't know anyone. ::kisaki::

Strickland served us dumplings and bubble tea, and we sat around the table. DL talked about what South Korea thought about North Korea and she was very reserved. Odera looked like she hated us all. Boob Girl kept everything alive. Strickland brought up Elementary Chinese I. I was the only one who took the class, so he told us about the DVD with Li You and Wang Peng. He talked about this scene which I had COMPLETELY forgotten. Li You was walking, she saw Wang Peng (her future love), and suddenly her bookbag spilled all of these wooden pencils. Pencils kept falling out of her bag. Wang Peng came to help pick them up and it was true loooove. (This is how they teach you Chinese). I laughed so hard because THE PENCILS, and we talked to each other about that for the rest of the night. I thought, "Wow, he's really funny!" We were so nerdy!
Adela: I don't like you
Jessica: plz, who would be a better option than me for toasting the newly wed couple w/ a romantic story on how ur love for each other blossomed while abroad in Shanghai
Adela: LOOOL oh god
Jessica: omg i'm all bubbly for you hahahaa!!
After the miserable party, I saw Laura. She asked how it was and in a sentence I said the worst of it. I also felt it was sad, like the corruption of something good. Ting Ting said, "It's really disappointing, especially because it's him." He was this almost every day:
https://scontent-b-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hph ... 6295_n.jpg
https://scontent-b-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hph ... 7007_n.jpg
Laura asked, "How are you so sure of your love?" I said I wasn't. She said he's stressed out at the business school and is isolated from most of the Shanghai people because of his RA job.

You know, I can't imagine not seeing or talking to the pengyous often. If anything they've been the best for me. It's probably since we can relate to each other's feelings, we can throw references at each other and understand, and only we know what happened and what it was like. I still don't think anyone will understand how happy I was and how wonderful everyone was. They're the only ones who saw me in that state, and they saw me as the girl who was always smiling. ^^~

We were at the bookstore on Nanjing Road, and we found this scroll which you painted on using water, and what you wrote on would disappear soon.
Corinne, Pragya, and I practicing.
Then Corinne drew me: She said, "Don't forget about her orange juice and milk carton!"

I told my friend Mel:
I mean, just this whole thing has been so nice and I'm really happy. I feel like a really improved Adela, just so happy and confident. Oh man I'm so happy mel!! I'm so happy here, ugh it's insane!
Anyway, I'm off to the gym because I need my Shanghai figure back because seriously. Oh I remember the way Strickland would look at me when I walked in a room, haha. American food is different (it's like I didn't even need to exercise in China) and I'm not dancing as nearly as much as I used to but I need to get back to work. XD I'm thinking of doing the fan dance club again next semester though. I'm sort of annoyed I woke up so late today. ::hora::

Well, if the person really loves the bands... well I wouldn't mind making a Malice Mizer-christmas XD Just watching the DVD's all day, listening to the cd instead of christmas music ::gaku:: Better than being without that and without any people.

Talking of christmas music, I feel like such a Grinch, but I can't stand it! I was at a mall buying presents 2 days ago, and there was some ***choir there singing while you waited to get the presents wrapped up (they had a special section for this). And I can't stand it, it stressed med out with all the people and that damn choir singing like insane. So I put my earphones in and listened to D XD
Merry christmas btw (I'm swedish so I'm one day ahead ::gaku:: )

Yeah, I can't stand the Christmas music, especially the new versions. I don't mind the originals, but I'm annoyed by the new ones always being played in stores. I kind of forgot it was coming up and it took forever for me to make a wishlist. I don't really feel anything and I have a million other things on my mind.

While I was in Forever21 I heard this evil-sounding version of Flight of the Sugarplum Fairy (or whatever it's called). It was cool.

OMG I just found this from my theology textbook in elementary school, my old best friend Jessica wrote it in:
225606_6981166131_3215_n.jpg

Omg. It happened.
This never happens in China!
Jesus: I'm off to China!
I wish I was Chinese... Only Chinese people have bicycles
I'm going to hell ::meev::

It's true what Odera said. We did have a great group because when I see other groups, many aren't as close knit. Maybe there's something about China and how utterly foreign and immense it is, I don't know. It's very humbling.

Bad Hostess's friend she's known since the 5th grade died this week and she wants to be a better friend. It's really touching. She said Shanghai was the adventure of her life, aw. A couple of weeks after I came back from Shanghai one of my high school classmates died, and it was surreal. Kevin promises that next semester will be better for all of us, and I can't let us all fall apart. I hope so. I'm a bit tired of hoping for things though.

Anyway, I got 100% on my Wang Shuo paper! I'm really happy about it. I wanted to improve from my 94s so I'm glad that I got a perfect score this time around, especially on a topic I loved so much! If I didn't improve this time I'm not sure what I'd do. My professor said:
Adela,

This is a very insightful essay! What is truly interesting is how the paper clearly demonstrates the “sentimental” dimension in a text like Playing for Thrills where one would least expect it. Based on your reading, Wang Shuo’s book could almost turn into a “romance” story. The paper brings out a very complex psychological landscape not easy to see. Good job!
Yay! :grin: I wrote about Liu Yan/Feng Xiaogang and Fang Yan/Baishan and I was completely feeling it.

I'm really happy I got to squeeze in this bit:
Baishan and I stepped out of the taxi, which pulled away from the curb. She looked up at the hotel windows, light reflected in her smiling eyes. "This is where you're staying?"
"Not bad, hmm?" I said with a smile. "Come on up, the rooms are classy."
It was so cute I had to fit it in somehow ::meev:: It's really sad too because I can't believe Fang Yan was like this at some point!

I loved Wang Shuo's description too:
A tough life had taught her to take things in stride. One look, a subtle change in expression told her everything she needed to know about where she stood and what the other person had in mind. She was never willful, never intentionally made things hard on anyone. Always gentle and easy to get along with, she made my life a carefree one. But don't get the idea that she was some taciturn, unfeeling marionette. She talked a lot, she loved to laugh, and she had a great sense of humor. Crowds didn't bother her, she handled herself with ease. Liu Huiyuan knows what I'm talking about. She wasn't one of those petty, affected women who feel sorry for themselves or are always acting coy. What set her apart from all those naive, unpolished girls out there was that she could enjoy herself without becoming self-indulgent, was poised and natural without appearing to be flighty. You could tease her all you wanted, until it turned nasty or disrespectful, and she'd know right off. Not that her expression would change all of a sudden, just that she knew without letting on that she knew. So when I say she led a tough life, I mean she had a certain aloofness that kept her from getting ruffled or losing her cool. Though the cover is worn, it still keeps the contents clean. Whenever she lowered her eyelids, you could take her in your arms or enter her or whatever, and still you knew that she was a free spirit, off someplace far away."
I thought, "I want to meet her!" XD

My first paper was about Xiao Hong, nostalgia for happier times and the meanings of gardens, the second was about Madame Qian, her strange party and all the changes in her life, and the third was mainly about Fang Yan and others' downfall from innocence and happiness to hooliganism because of society, how people are not always in control of their dreams, analyzing that a hundred times. It's been a lot of fun! ::batsu::

Ugh, when people interrupt me as I'm working or feel the need to talk all the time. I miss being with someone who didn't need to talk to express themselves and was comfortable with silence.

Which reminds me of Virginia Woolf: "I want to write a novel about Silence... the things people don’t say." She's so awesome!

Yup, Christmas music is a nono unless it's JAM or Nakayama Miho. Turns out a lot of the bandmen DO update on Christmas, including Mana, Seth, Hora, and Kaya (of which it seems the later two will do a SS live on March 23). Hora sounded characteristically "yeah there's this thing" about it.

I went to a friend's for Xmas dinner and it was awesome. We played some game with 5 dice for each player. I forgot the name. Pochono or something like that. I, with my awesome skills of being a nasty little fakeout, won. I've won every game I've played this year :D

Nejla gave me some turkey to take home for the kitties and this guy on the subway kept staring at me. I think he wanted the turkey....screw that guy. It's for the cats.

I miss my family, but it was still nice. I hope you all had nice Christmases too.

Did they have any rare items in that sale?
I read a bit of a translation from Gackt's biography (did he make several btw?)

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all ::foot::

Got in some good stuff this year, "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" (::batsu::), the Aubrey Beardsley illustrated "Morte D'Arthur", a book on the kings of France, and a bunch of other stuff. My sister says she has a really, really stupid present waiting for me up in Boston too ::meev::

Anyone remember Einherjer? He told me to move to Hawaii a couple times and I was like "why? What's in Hawaii?"

...turns out HE is now lol

Aw man it got me thinking. I'd LOVE to be a surfer girl for a year or so before I get too old...er.. And I don't want to go to Australia and get eaten by a shark. Seriously. I think I gotta start doing all the stuff I wanted to do before I get too ancient. My birthday's in less than 3 months and it's an important one.

@Faith: You should go for it! Not because of age, but just to take advantage of the time you have now! Some of the pengyous are Hawaiian so I've learned more about it as a result, especially through their pictures XD I might be going to either Israel/Egypt or Italy next year, but we'll see. I'll ask my Tel Aviv friends how it is. I have a lot of pengyous living in Abu Dhabi and I'd love to see it someday! Some are currently in Sweden, Singapore, and Korea too. Most pengyous are in NYC now, but they're from cool places! #globalnetworkuniversity XD

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :grin:

I got the foldable earring holder Jessica has, and it's done wonders for my collection.
http://www.amazon.com/Foldable-Acrylic- ... 000I82WNW/
It is amazing. I bought a bracelet/watch stand and a display for rings so they'll be in soon.

I opened a drawer in my vanity and it had headbands and hair things I bought from China along with a million pairs of sunglasses. I haven't worn any of it since coming back; I'm not sure why. I took out the white headband (seen here) and it's so pretty! I said I'd never wear it again, like the blue dress. When I wore that dress at Forever21 I felt so great about myself, I thought the color was perfect, and I didn't criticize my body at all for once. I heard Diana Vickers' "Music to Make the Boys Cry" for the first time while I was in the fitting room. It was during the Banco Santander weekend so I want to remember. Jessica was so cute looking through my closet.

We'd have long conversations on Sunday evenings because of the food events. We'd sit on the floor and talk about things like love, have we ever felt it, what is it really. I remember me in my room, her and Strickland in the lounge, and I yell from my door, "JESSICAAAA~" I hear her laugh and Strickland say, "I think she wants you *dramatic sigh*" Once, we left the lounge and Strickland watched as I kicked open my door with my panda slippers, burger in hand, to let her in. I am a big nerd.

I bought the headband with Ting Ting at Di Mall, at a store selling everything at a huge discount. Guzheng class was cancelled so we had some spare time. We went to find her brand of BB cream. Before that we went to a bank and a bubble tea place. I couldn't believe how cheap everything was in that store, cheaper than the usual, and I looked for something to go with the dress. Afterwards we went to the amusement park in People's Park before heading to East Nanjing Road for dinner. We ended up going to McDonald's and talked for a while there.

I looked for a necklace, but after searching I couldn't find anything so I went back to the basics and wore my default Serenity Prayer one. I bought a ton of bracelets near the back gate. I found a gold ring at Cloud Nine. It has a flower with pink stone petals, and a leaf with diamonds on it. ::squee:: When I look at these little objects I remember their stories.

At the toast Ting Ting took out Strickland's white rose from his pocket and put it in my dress's pocket, and I laughed. Strickland went to get another rose. I took out my rose, plucked the petals off, let them fall on the ground, and took a picture. I don't know why I do these things!

My mom wanted to see my elementary/middle school graduation ceremony so we did. What I loved about the masses/ceremonies at my school was how grandiose they were. We had the organ, percussion, brass, every section, including opera singers in the choir. Our masses were like funerals of important people and the songs were dramatic, as if from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame XD Our music teacher "livened up" some of it, but I preferred darker versions. :grin: The singers would do the "AHHH AHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH" to finish the songs. It was like that every Friday, and it was beautiful. :)

I saw my friends and I sitting in our church, where I was also baptized in, and it's amazing how we keep in touch. Monsignor said we'll never be in an educational institution for that long or in that way again since most of us had been in the same small class since Kindergarten. We grew up together! Our graduation ceremony was on May 20, perfect for the same date 7 years later, haha.

My old best friend Jessica was valedictorian and I helped write her speech. It made us cry, and she started crying while she was saying it. I brought the card she gave me for my 13th birthday to China, along with other cards my friends gave me during that time and Cerceaux's letter. I put them on my pin board over my desk.
Aw! They were so happy when they saw I finally met Zhugey! ::squee::

My first "love of my life" Philipp was there, and I can tell my tastes haven't changed since I told my dad, "He (Strickland) looks like Philipp!" when he first asked where this was going ::meev:: My dad loved that picture he took of me eating dumplings. The Monday after Banco Santander, I walked to class by myself when Chichi ran over and asked, "Do you know where Strickland is??" I said no and she left. I kept walking when Emily came and asked, "Where's Strickland? We need him to approve of something." More of that occurred. Hardly much happened, I didn't even talk about it, but I was already being associated with him. You lose a piece of yourself in a way when someone enters the picture, and I could tell my thoughts were changing.

Odera went to Catholic elementary school for a while, so she likes to talk to me about that. I remember her running into me on the main road and asking, "Where's your husband?" I said, "At the bank, working!" She said she likes me because I'm genuine, I'm not afraid to be myself. She misses me. She remembers me in her room dancing and singing ::batsu::

Anyway, CHRISTMAS! My mom surprised me by entering an Ebay war and got this huge Sleeping Beauty snowglobe/music box. She waited so long for it to arrive ^__^
https://scontent-b-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hph ... 8893_n.jpg
It's so awesome! She knows I love the scene in the woods! I got my Sleeping Beauty keepsake AND IT IS AMAZING. It really does play the song, and the little "ching!" noise is made each time her dress changes color, like in the movie! I LOVE IT ::squee:: Also got:

Books, even surprise books about Mao and Catherine the Great (can't WAIT to start Dream of the Red Chamber: An Allegory of Love)
Xbox games (OMG AC4:BLACK FLAG and GTA5 YES)
DVDs (Prince of Egypt, Trapped in the Closet, and this nerdy Disney sing-a-long)
Cinderella top
Watch, necklace, bracelet (all so pretty!)
Old socks, a stained shirt, some "Peruvian" bags from grandma
I also bought 3 pretty bras that I feel amazing in from Victoria's Secret and loads of pretty panties from other places. ::squee::

If anyone wants to get me this for $45 each feel free:

PLEASE~~~ Laura showed it to me and I need it XD

A proper lady should know sewing and embroidery - make your own ring thing miss lazybones.

The problem with running off to Bali or something for a year and learning to surf is that I have a job and cats. These are things I can't just abandon...A month would be fine though.

It appears the best things for preparing to surf are swimming (check), yoga (check), and skateboarding (not check lol). Waveboarding would probably be even better. As luck would have it, there's some guy waveboarding down the hall right now.

I'd ask him to try it out but I'm feeling really shy and antisocial today. Plus I'm in 10cm heels and have this weird phobia of knocking out my teeth.

Both yo, both job and cats.
I need a certain amount of financial stability or I freak out.
I can't just quit my job and go off to another country to work at a restaurant or something.
There's also a high risk adversity somewhere in there too.
I'll never be able to gamble or invest in stocks.

It's really gotten in the way of me living my life but oh well.

So how was Matilda's first Christmas?
You better be giving her Christmas :lol:

Psh, I already gave her Hanukkah XD For Xmas I just brought up some re-gifted junk from my mom, like the "Elf On The Shelf" (which my sister promptly re-re-re-gifted ::meev::) I think the rule's going to be, if she comes to my place it'll be Christmas.

*I* got a free ticket to see "The Hobbit 2" for Christmas here XD
