So. Jules wanted to take me to some little island to go snorkeling. Which would be fun. But I don't really like spending money, especially when it is my sister's. But she wanted to do something. Here is where my story begins.......

I get back from camp. She isn't home because she is working. I go to sleep. She wakes me up. Here is where her story begins......

Julie's coworker (Amy) is talking to our local Big Kahuna (Doris) about the company choir that Doris sent to Hong Kong to see the Abba musical Mama Mia! and then Doris tells Amy that she should go see it. Amy says it would be nice, but she doesn't have the money. Doris says she will pay for her and asks who she would like to take. Amy is so excited and says Melissa, Jessie, and Julie. YAY! So Julie goes into Doris saying how excited everyone is. Doris asks why they are waiting until August 6 to go, and Julie says because her sister (that would be me) is still in Taiwan then, and Doris asks if Lauren (that would be me again) wouldn't like to go... assuming that the girl in question isn't a musical-loving fiend who would give five inches of hair to go to Hong Kong while she is still in the general area of Asia... Julie straightens Doris out and here we are.....

So. I am going to Hong Kong with some of the most fun people in Southeast Asia on July 27 and then I get back on July29, and then I leave for home on August 2 around 11pm, arriving in San Diego a mere half an hour after I leave Taiwan. I hate time changes.

Thank you for your letter, you know who you are. It was the nicest thing! ♥

So.
*Guess who passed her English with a 3. Me. I'm not even going to touch the whole, Lauren you could have done better issue because I freaking passed. Woot Woot.
*Guess who passed her Physics with a 3. FREAKING ME!! holy crap. I think I might have to start break dancing in my cubicle.

I don't think you guys understand how ready I was for a 1. Physics and I do not get along. I don't want to follow the rules of Thermodynamics and it wants to increase the gravitational force directly around me, but the Lord Jesus in Heaven granted me a moment of harmony. So now I am going to go out drinking and smoking and pimping to celebrate. Or I might just stay home and drink Starbucks while watching Sense and Sensibility with Julie. Tough decision.....

It would seem as though I have officially lived through a typhoon. You guys should be thanking the Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come that i made it through. Not that I have pride issues or anything.
Only really funny news I may lift up as an offering...the shirt I am wearing presently says verbatim.

yet it's still varry toough totally ventilation. and two snap two large, removable and.. nylon drip strip close saide

there's just retain animals body heat into populat wallet styles. you'll appreciate the rugged

pockets and an inside breast pocket They have a heavier butt and exclusive taper eliminates the calmmy feel of nylon and offers away from your body and then past. there didn't seem to be any season need after we've logged fifty years

so that is the sick sad world of English I am in right now. Luckily, I have been reading a lot to try and maintain some semblence of good English. Proper English. All I have to say is...

well, it is currently monsooning. that is exciting. i now have a cute little floral print umbrella to keep myself safe. rain. new umbrella. i don't think there could be anything better.

taiwan would be a lot better if i knew chinese. although, i now know when the girl at 7-11 is going to ask me if i would like a bag, and i will no longer be fooled by that trick... it costs a dollar more. which amounts to like 30 cents in America, but still. i would rather look like a moron doing a circus act than pay an extra dollar for a plastic bag, i don't care how sturdy it is.

i have been reading a lot lately. fairly exciting. ask me about it unless you are thomas, nick, or emily. i wrote you guys letters including an synopsis of my book reading... and don't get too excited heather and jess, i wrote you, too. i just highlighted other things. i like to mix it up. you know it. ♥

well, it has been a week. only six more to go. my mom said that i could come home after four weeks, thanks to a silly little mix-up at julie's work concerning me... but i will probably be sticking it out, no matter how nice it would be to be home. we shall see.

i am so here. other than a middle-aged taiwanese man talking to his old mother throughout the flight, discussing the pros and cons of asking my parents for my hand in marriage, the flight was pretty fine. although, i don't think that i have ever wanted to go to alaska, siberia, japan, or south korea more... but we finally got here after thirteen hours, and the entire airport wreked of pirates of the caribbean. nice and humid in the taiwan.

thanks to all of the people who wished me well. that was swell. and i will stop rhyming now. i mean it.*

obviously, as evidenced by this post, i have access to the gloriuos internet, so talk to me. i will be in communication.

*anybody want a peanut?

Plane Ticket. Check. Passport. Check. Visa. Check.

So I am off. Don't worry. I will more than likely be back in seven weeks. I leave Wednesday. I get back Monday. No big thing. Only seven weeks.

China has missiles pointed at Taiwan. No big thing. Just try not to piss off any world powers for a while.

I think that now would be an appropriate time for all of my friends to prepare a rough draft of a eulogy for me. Post them. I'm interested to see what you have to say. I always have wanted to attend my funeral.

But it will be fine. I won't die. You'll see.

If it chooses to show up, here is a picture of me so that you won't forget the girl that you once loved. Even if it doesn't show up, I feel that the square containing a square containing a red x is a very accurate representation of what I look like.

and i am out.
