Term Paper Anxieties

This is going to be a short post made up of thoughts lodged in the back of my head. Firstly, I've been working on my 10+ page paper about Murakami. I talked to my dad, unwillingly, about the paper and I feel much more collected. I have fallen in love with the works of Murakami all over again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for something to read. There are so many layers and symbols that make you think twice, read twice. He's definitely one of my favorite authors.

Here's what I'd rather be doing... hahaha. I love Korean dramas. I have watched all of these ones and many, many more. Dramas allow you to experience a level of love unrealistic and impossible in real life. Yes, they also skew your sense of reality and expectation but they're so fun to watch and live through. Most Korean dramas have a non specific, mediocre heroine that any girl can place herself in. Plus, dramas always have awesome OST music! Be prepared to have the living sap sucked out of you. Dramas take time and energy and the will to live after you finish one. If you're looking for ones to watch, choose any from this collage. They were all super! I didn't include some like Coffee Prince and Mischievous Kiss mainly because they're well known or annoying (eh hemm, Mischievous Kiss).

One more note before I say adieu. Don't give mixed messages. That's just cruel and evil. I know sometimes you don't intend to give mixed signals. Make sure you know what you want clearly. Don't waver between what you think you want because that really messes everyone else up. If you say you want to be friends, act like it. Okay, just a friendly reminder. Good bye!

Rainy Days

http://zupernovah.tumblr.com

Hello! Just when I think it's nice and warm, it's raining again. Maybe some of you are tired of hearing me rant about the weather but I'm tired of having to rant at all. The weather needs to make up its mind already. Today, in the afternoon, half the sky was blue and radiant while the other half was gloomy and overcast.

You know... I don't mind being home alone so much. I rather like the airy silence that hangs in the air. I don't know if I'm an introvert or an extrovert. I like hanging out with people and meeting new people but at the same time, I do like having some alone time. I wrote a brief description of the morning.

The window pane is slid open. I chastise myself and listen to the rhythms of the rain pounding down. The air smells fresh and I take a deep breath. Half awake, I make my way down the stairs. I let out a taut yawn and feel my feet pressing against the beige carpet. The empty tea kettle is still sitting on the stove top. Dirty tea cups are set all over the counter. The scent of tea is still integrated. I see a couple empty plates in the sink. Crumbs are littered over the white backgrounds of the plates. The window hangs open.

Rain is not romantic, maybe that's just me. I don't like the rain at all; except the few times where I want to wear rain boots. I was talking to S and he made this really cute comment about how walking in rain was romantic: "Lol I never said I like being wet. That's what the umbrella's for. I love umbrellas! Plus that means she'll have to walk close to me if she doesn't wanna get wet." It made me laugh because as much as he proclaims to hate high school relationships, he's a bit of a romantic himself. He's my neighbor too, as I think I've mentioned before. We played ping pong yesterday and today!! It's great being able to spontaneously hang out. But anyways, you always see that scene in movies where the main protagonists kiss in the rain and everybody swoons, except me. Wouldn't you rather kiss in good weather and feel extremely happy? In the rain, I would feel like I sort of hate my life because I'd be wet. Wet and happy isn't as good as sunny and happy. Not everyone is prepared with an umbrella either. Who knows... maybe one day I'll appreciate the rain.

I do like reading and writing in the rain. Hearing the rain pound down is a great backdrop for writing serious stuffs. On that note, no a scarf boy is not ready yet. Spring break has been really ... busy? I'm too busy working on my diabolical term paper.

I've been really obsessed with snapchat and spotify lol! If you don't have these yet, then get on it!! They're such cool apps!

Fun Times in San Francisco

If you read yesterday's post, you'll know that I was in San Francisco today!!! The city is absolutely gorgeous and the weather was surprisingly nice. I wore two jackets and a scarf. All that wasn't necessary. I always choose to believe the weather forecasts on the wrong day. When can I start wearing skirts and dresses? Ah well it's already April and doesn't April mean spring??

I have some things to say about our lab experiment. At first we were planning on approaching random people and pretending to know them. The lab was supposed to test how willing people were to save you from embarrassment. What we soon realized was that these people had nothing to gain or lose from saying the truth. It was a soul crushing lab, even for the few hours we tried. I have never had people tell me they were too busy to even hear what I was saying. I had one girl say that she maybe knew me though! One o'clock PM was a dark time period. Five of us were sitting in a table meant for four people amongst the crowded food court scene. The two guys helping us were eating lunch somewhere outside.
