I realize that my updates have been sparse and slightly arbitrary lately. Daily life is going pretty smoothly (aside from that Sunday that I apparently regressed to age 3 months) - work is great, I'm happy there, not too stressed and not too bored. My lovely Alice is finally coming back stateside next Tuesday night, flying directly into NYC to spend a few days with me, and then next Friday Tatiana is coming down from Boston.. I am so super excited!! Alice called me today and we made mention of the last time we were all together and in NYC - it was quite a ruckus. I can only hope this time will be as much fun - if not better.
I've been making some new friends lately who have been helping me explore different aspects of myself that have sort of been dormant since... well I don't even know since when. Not just my creative side, but my... organic side? My passionate side? I don't know. I saw a singer/songwriter named Gretchen Witt - she plays guitar and piano and is very folk/indie/organic, the kind of music that I would like to write - with my co-worker Sonja a couple nights ago, and was so moved and inspired. I've been trying to finish a song for quite a while now... but somehow the Guitar Center doesn't quite have the creative atmosphere I'm looking for. I need to find out when their offtimes are, and hope that the guys who work there don't bother me about buying a $3000 keyboard.
But anyway, it's been an invigorating time for me, creatively stimulating. I've been wanting to write a new 'zine for a while. Perhaps this month would be a good time. September.
I'm off to bed, but I will leave you with this conversation snippet between my older brother and me. Topic: how to represent a stereotypical Asian girl.
me: i should show up wearing a hello kitty backpack
Jason: hahaha
Jason: and cover your mouth when you laugh
me: hahhaha
Jason: and bat your eyelashes
me: and squint
Jason: yes
me: should i bedazzle my cell phone
Jason: is that related to being asian? or is this a separate conversation starting?
me: HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHA
me: i can't believe you would actually think i would BEDAZZLE MY CELL PHONE
Jason: hey, i dont know
o_____O (<-- Asian face. Well according to Jueli anyway)
