I guess post titles can't handle Chinese characters. :(

我觉得这张照片很漂亮。我穿新的衬衫。我上个月在FOREVER21买了。我平常不喜欢FOREVER21,但是那天这个店里有多的好的衬衫了。虽然衣服不太便宜,可是我觉得衣服很漂亮,所以我真要了买衣服。这件衬衫我最喜欢,因为衬衫的颜色样子的好。

Yesterday was the facebook-declared Kiss an Asian Day. So of course DHB ends up randomly kissing me on the side of my head last night. I'm generally taking things really well, but it's just little moments like that that make me go :( sadface inside.

Then we played Okami until 5AM, so I guess all was well in the end. :D?

EDIT: Oh, and speaking of last night, for about half an hour, Eccentric NYer was in my hall dancing around shirtless wearing sparkly light green spandex pants and proclaiming that he was a ho from the future.

Completely sober, mind you.

EVEN MY FORTUNE COOKIE PITIES ME

Election Day at Kenyon

"Obama won Ohio! Let's get drunk at the pub!"
--my dorm hall

DHB: Yeah, I guess I'm happy he won, but I'm not crazy over it like some people who are like OH GOD YES GOLD WILL RAIN FROM THE SKY. There was this one girl who burst into my room and was like HE WON OHIO OMG BUT WHAT IF HE DOESN'T WIN PENNSYLVANIA OMG OMG while clawing at her face, and I was just like, "....get out."

-between Male Chicagoan & Brazilian hubby-
"He probably won't even survive until Inauguration. I bet some insane hillbilly will shoot him in the face before then."
"You are so ignorant. What kind of American are you to say that? Go back to Brazil."
"Maybe I will now that Obama's president."
"Fine, go back to your broke ass country. Ghetto poverty slummy Brazil. I've seen City of God! I know what it's like!"

I love my friends. xD

Coming to a close...

To keep things short and bittersweet: the whole DHB drama came to an end last night... and he doesn't like me back. I don't want to get into the complicated and awkward details of it all, so I'll just say that I didn't actually admit anything to him, but from what he told me last night, I am 100% sure that he doesn't think of me as anything more than a friend.

BUT. I took it surprisingly well. I'm not torn up over it at all, really... I'm sad, of course, but after our conversation last night, things pretty much just continued normally between the two of us.

A few weeks ago, I admitted to myself that I wasn't willing to risk my friendship with him to possibly become something more. Friendship is extremely important to me at the moment, more than romantic relationships... so maybe that's why I took it so well. Because he's a great friend and maybe that's enough.

In a sense, this is a good thing b/c I will prob act a lot less reserved around him from now on, since now I know that there are no intentions behind his compliments or anything and he just does and says everything as a friend. Though it's def. a bad thing in the sense that I now have to tell the eight or so people from the summer program who know about my crush that it just ain't happening... I'm really starting to hate how public this whole thing became. :(

LOL

I HEARD FROM A THIRD PARTY THAT MY MENTOR THINKS I HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM.

I mean, yeah, I think he's attractive and all, but frankly? I thought he was gay. But I guess he's bi or something. I don't even know. :(

And the convo this info sprung from was real funny:

"J thinks everybody likes him. He thinks I like him. He said, 'I think you like me because you get nervous whenever you talk to me,' and I was like, are you on drugs?"
"Of course he says crazy things, he doesn't get any AND he doesn't get enough sleep."
"Yeah, J thinks everybody wants him. And sometimes I guess it's true since a lot of people think he's hot. I don't think he's hot because I think he looks like an anorexic, but still... (turns to me) Do you like him?"
"Like... as a person?"
"What if we said... hypothetically... that J thinks that you...."
".............................HE THINKS I HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM? WTFCAKES"
