christine + ism

This guy who went to my high school just started talking to me on facebook chat.  We were in the same religion class in grade ten but we have literally never spoken to each other before. How I have him on facebook? I’m not really sure.

Anyway, he said this to me

“what was ur 1st impression. mine was that ur an extremely hot girl but u didnt dress the part”

HAHAHAHA

I laughed. It’s kind of strange thinking about people noticing me when, at the time, I felt like I could have crawled into a hole for eternity and no one (but my friends) would think twice.

The kind of homework I can do while listening and singing to loud music

The kind of homework that feels more like play

the curve of a fingernail

Sometimes a stranger can be your best friend
Sometimes being angry is the best mood
Sometimes seeing you feel good makes me feel even better
Sometimes hunger is the best food
Sometimes good just ain’t good enough
And other times evil will get you even
Sometimes faith is not knowing any better
Sometimes nothing is what you believe in

Sometimes you fail trying
And sometimes happiness hurts worse
Sometimes people live dying
Sometimes it’s the last person that makes you first
Sometimes you’ll keep what you don’t want
And other times you’ll give away what you really need
Sometimes a rich man won’t have a dollar
And all a poor man has is greed

If I am to go to any country bar, it will be here.  It’s easy dancing like a fool to country music.

the kind of homework that never seems to be completed even once you’ve completed it

retrojapan:

• set up game
• don’t understand the rules of Life
• Crindy suddenly won the lottery, $100, 000
• me & Becca start the game over
• Crindy is now $20,000 in debt 
• Crindy’s niece paints all over her house
• why are we eating craisins?
• How long have we been watching Enrique Iglesias videos?

Board game or real, we fail at life.

At least I had an education and lots of life points from teaching my niece how to paint. That made up for my debt.

As for real life, thank God Enrique Iglesias exists. 

represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent and incomplete”.^[1] It is a concept derived from the Buddhist assertion of the Three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin^?), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō^?).

Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes.

I’m writing a script for a presentation.

I just googled this and found out 2,500 words.

For once, 2500 words seems so few when 20 minutes seems never ending.
