Valleys are as important as hills.

So the past week has been really slacky. My only real day of school consisted of exactly one hour of math lecture. Right now, the rest of the school's tying chinese knots, cutting paper and doing calligraphy while Cara and I are enjoying our freedom.

So we were really bored the other day, and we had nothing better to do. Solution: whip out pen and write non-sensical paragraphs. Cara and I wrote this passage, we took turns to write three words each. Some of it doesn't make sense, but I think these things bring out what we're really thinking inside.

Once there was a girl with long brown hair. She liked to watch planes from her balcony in a Paris apartment and eat ice-cream off her boyfriend's nose. Her boyfriend, though, never seemed to care about the way she sang out of the window when people walked by. When night fell, they'd walk to the local brothel and rate all the legs they were served.
Tragically, she only sparkled after getting drunk.
Sometimes he'd desperately pull her hair to get to the bear behind her jeans zipper. They never tried catching glitter in the dreams they ate by the vague brown coatstands. They went by the mortuary and danced to mysterious squeaking noises coming from the squirrel that hadn't been near the toaster.

"you know, sometimes I blow into lonely strangers' pinwheels. Are you thinking I'm crazy?"

"Not as crazy as the time you ate some boy's Mercedes because he told you your eyes were hollow."

"...are they hollow?"
he didn't reply.
Instead, he kissed her withered lashes and promised he'd die before her.
She frowned and pulled away.

"why did you wave to the other bicycle rider last night? she wasn't even as pretty as your first pet dog, Sasha."

"don't you dare call my sister lethal. I swear that if that police car crashes into her, my final wish won't be for you."
his lips twisted into a smile.

her arms snaked around his neck.
"...liar."

teeth flashed.

There are things I'm thankful for today.
1. I'm in 04, probably the class with the least bitching and/or politics.
2. I have a good roomie that isn't afriad to tell me when I'm doing things wrong.
3. I'm low profile now, omg I'm so glad my personal life isn't in the limelight anymore.
4. I have a few good friends I can trust.
5. I'm on God's side.
6. Some people really hold strong to their faith, even through it all.
7. 5-day break from the lessons that haven't even started for me.
8. An amazingly close-knit family that loves me THAT much.
9. I have enough.
10. I don't need anyone besides God.

Happy CNY people!
