"___(blabla)___ more than the average bear."

has anyone heard this saying?
i have.
The first time is when my friend and I were having a deep and serious convo and she said,
"I know I cry more than the average bear but ___(bla)___"
...I just burst out laughing.. I was completely puzzled and amused by her statement, especially considering the solemn nature of our chat.

I heard it again today when my cousin used it. I asked him to elaborate, and this was his response:
"Stephen Colbert says that bears are the number 1 threat in America, so they are quite relevant as a reference point"


...on a side note, when I was in Banda Aceh in Indonesia on the island coast, a sun bear came and snatched a chicken from our neighbors like ten feet away from us. Seoow weird... Are bears the number one threat in Indonesia?

jolly voyage off to ol'blighty

what will happen when i go to england in January?
a.) run out of money
b.) love it and never want to come home
c.) find my place in life (aka career prospect)
d.) fall in love with an indian boy in medical school (ahahahhahaahahahhaahahahahaaaa no)
e.) all of the above

I cannot imagine another semester at the same university... Maybe I have ADD or something because i just am so bored of it all.

give me your eyes, i need the sunshine

I hate surface talk. Its the worst during the break when you see your famjam/cousins etc.

like, I've had some great convos, but the worst are the ones where they drill you on your school life, what you aspire to be, whyy you are in the program you are in etc. Its like being in a job interview except without the excitment. Its just so redundant.
Me and my sister always joke about it, so we've decided to start making stuff up.
Shes pretty smart, my sister. Whenever someone asks, she says, "I wanna be a fire woman." The person laughs (clueless to whether shes serious or not), and inevitably drops the subject. ha its completely perfect.

But honestly. Can't stand surface talk. I mean I get, it. Lets all be polite etc. I just wish peeps would ask me more relevant stuff, stuff that actually defines me. Like, who is/are your idol(s). What are your top five bands/artists? If you could either live in L.A. or New York, which would you choose? When its hot, and you are driving in your car, do you turn on the AC or open the windows? Do you like rollercoasters? What is your very favorite thing about winter? (other than candy cane ice-cream ofcourse).

HOW DOES THE SONG: I'LL BELIEVE IN ANYTHING by WOLF PARADE MAKE YOU FEEL?

ha. i remember the first time i watched this movie (waking life)

OREO

i've decided to be more brown.. er indian. It hit me after i randomly started humming a tune and, in the midst of trying to figure it out, came across this vid of madonna (FROZEN)... hahaha remember this??

Anyways. I'm pretty sick of my mom calling me a "coconut"...plus i felt way more attune with myself when i was in Malaysia this past summer.. there's just a totally different energy there. Way more relaxed, mmm and everyone just seemed really content. Doing whatever really. But on the forreals, there were like temples everywhere. And mini temples inside people's shops and in front of their houses..it was really interesting. (ya i took this photo, wadup)


I remember I told this to my Buddhist friend from England who was also in Malaysia with me for a bit. His response was kindof annoying, but somewhat true. He said,--(in a really posh british accent)-- Yeou peopow, buoy yo mini Buddha stachews to furnish yeo homes because it makes yeo feel "zen," das not what its abouut, yeou see wot im sayinnn??


I think I'm ACTUALLY gonna become spiritual. I just dono where to start...maybe get a tattoo? (hahahaha)

nate found it. woop eeeeeeep.
