Not Alone For Christmas This Year

IDK why I wrote this but, happy holidays everyone. This was written at the last minute but basically Sonic is getting a family for the holidays...

Disclaimer I am not sure what their religion is and I do not own Sonic (both movie and video games), Tom Wachowski or Maddie Wachowski. They all belong to Sega And Paramount. Don't like don't read

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even Sonic the Hedgehog, which was completely odd in the long run Because the kid is a whirlwind filled with talks and fun. However, when morning came, the young blue alien hedgehog was very excited and started to move. Back then, the winter holidays were always beautiful. And Sonic loved looking at the decorations around the town. However, he was alone during this time and had been for the past ten years. Every year, he would watch the Wachowskis celebrate and these are moments he somewhat resents. Because it was someone he wasn't a part of. But now, it is different because he wasn't alone for Christmas this year Then suddenly, he heard Maddie and Tom yelled, "Sonic, it's time for presents Hearing his adoptive parents made him bounce out of bed. Heading downstairs, Maddie and Tom have warm, welcoming smiles on their faces. Sonic ran down and yelled "Merry Christmas!" Soon, his parents joined in as well. Ozzie then came running, giving his hedgehog kisses that were so dubbed "very gross" but with a laugh. Maddie and Tom ran to Sonic, smiling at their boy. "Merry Christmas, bud," Tom said.

They guided him to the tree, where the presents were piled up. They each exchanged gifts; Sonic had bought makeup, fancy nail polish, and a book gift card for Maddie and gave Tom a new fishing hat, shirt, and a gift card to the local donut shop. And to Sonic' loved's amazement, his parents bought him socks, a new hat (like father, like son), and another set of boots. "This is great guys," Sonic admitted. “Wait,” Maddie said with a smile. She quickly rushed over to the nearby table and came back, with an envelope in hand. Her smile was bigger and Tom knew that it was the same one that Maddie had when she gave him his acceptance letter. “There’s still one more present to take care of, buddy,” Tom said as Sonic gave his caretakers suspicious looks.

Sonic took the envelope and tore out a certificate. Written in big letters, it says...

This certifies that Sonic Wachowski has officially been adopted by Tom and Maddie Wachowski December 15, 2020.

"You don't mean..." Sonic said. "It's exactly what it means, Sonic Wachowski," Maddie said with a dolly. "Yeah, it's official," Tom said with a smile. The boy started crying tears of joy.  Sonic stammered. "But I've always been..." "Of course you had kid. We just had to make it official. Welcome into the family, Sonic." "Come on, bring in a hug." "I'm too old for that, Donut Lord!" Sonic yelped. "You're never too old for a hug!* Tom said and he hugged the little hedgehog, much to his protest. Meanwhile, Maddie couldn't help it; she scooped Sonic up and smothered him with a hug. Sonic smiled, even though he tried acting mature for his hug. Now he knew there were presents underneath the tree, But this Adoption and parents’ hugs, were the best ones he ever had. Because now, he was not alone for Christmas this year.

[lover-of-trash-and-people]

bittersweet netflix shadow and bone finale (s1 e8) rewatch; accoutrement: white wine with ice cubes in it (no YOU'RE a mom drink shh)

my wine's like fruity I love her

light and darkness title card we love to see it

Inej looking at Alina before she goes below deck to hide <3

okay that 'what can you really do on your own' was like not fun that shit hurted

okay but Jesper's 'not enough'? <3

oh no my baby Zoya's first inkling that Darkles does not really care

omg Helnik just appeared and I remembered how much heartbreak I have to face in this episode

gods I love Danielle as Nina so so much

'this can't be it' said she with her pleading smile with downturned eyebrows MA'AM I-

don't break my dumb little heart

I might hate Calahan's little accent but they're making me tear up

oh gods I literally cannot keep a hold on myself when Dani's accent bleeds through with full force, it's like she comes more alive or smth

'I will keep you warm' SIR WHAT-

I am surprised they showed a leaning in for a kiss so soon but I'm not mad about it

her little eyebrow twitch at 'what are waffles'

when that rando said 'i hunt slavers now' a dread settled into me because I knew what was about to go down

Matthias looking somberly at the stuffed wolf's head </3

I am so incredibly entranced by this exchange between Fedyor and Nina and what it represents, it's very interesting that they pushed up their storyline to match with the timeline

damn it's kind of jarring to be back in the Fold

'REMEMBER WHO'S DRIVING'??!!!! *you better stop* meme, *i am, disgusted* meme, *oh wow, oh wow* meme

Mal you fucking idiot you could never take the crows by surprise

the music rising as Kaz starts explaining his thought process, fucking perfection

haha Mal bitchass Inej caught you

'Because if he isn't with Kirigan's crew, he's with ours' WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED

'And why would we destroy the Fold? It's the greatest weapon we've got' valid point at the moment but you know I don't necessarily agree with your methods

the use of the light tunnel in the show instead of Alina just being a super flashlight in the books is quite an interesting addition as well

is this an inappropriate time to point out how pretty Ben Barnes is

okay I kind of love the depiction of the shadow powers okay sue me

'they are traitors who tried to kill you' why are you suddenly making valid points despite having kind of committed low scale genocide

'i never said I was smart' YES MAL BE THE VOICE OF HIMBOS EVERYWHERE

Kaz's face going from 'can you believe this idiot' at Mal to 'fuck me I'm gonna do the same thing aren't I' at Inej

'For who would oppose us now?' *himbo romantic rival appears out of nowhere and shoots at him* god I love this show

him standing calmly in his ridiculous all black attire after nodding at his soldier to stop the himbo in his tracks, i fucking can't

could she summon light without the Darkling making her after he put the collar on her until the uhm moment in the books? idts but in the show she can hmm

'only because I'm not in the game' you tell him Jesper

not me snickering at 'you'll be seen not as a saviour, but as a heretic' LMFAO

'Shame. I'll have to give that speech again now.' THIS SHOW IS A FUCKING COMEDY AND YOU CAN'T PROVE ME WRONG

YES LET'S FUCKING GO SULI SOLIDARITY

Darkles casually whipping the Cut out like a shuriken or a throwing knife at Jesper because he shot at him lmao I can't

INEJ FUCKING GHAFA STABBED ONE THE OLDEST AND MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE IN THAT WORLD AND THAT IS VERY TELLING OF HER POWER

that moment where you actually think that affected him despite having read the books and watched the show

and then he has to go and fucking say 'it will take more than this' and I can't be help but be a little bit impressed at this old fool's resilience

throwback to when he said 'the king is a child' sir you make some valid points sometimes and it does make it difficult to hate you

I would just like to inform everyone that it is currently 6:09 am IST and I am sipping my second mug of wine while watching netflix sab for the second time instead of doing my three papers that are due tomorrow

I'm sorry but Inej jumping to check on Zoya after she gets knocked over by the volcra? first class display of solidarity and sisterhood as well as Inej's inherent kindness

Kaz jumping in front of a FUCKING VOLCRA AND STABBING IT WITH HIS CANE to save Inej, you best believe love is true, kids

god the volcra are so ugly and gross, they did such a good job with them

they kind of remind me of these creatures (I think they might have been called Hollows or smth) from the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children movie

STAG VISION TIME

despite my dislike for the callous nature with which the stag plotline was handled, I kind of dig the stag vision scene

'It's just me and you now, Alina. And we're all we need, anyway.' I actually feel bad for this old fool simping for this wonderful gorgeous powerful woman despite lying to her and manipulating her and exploiting her power

okay 'I never needed you' *stabs the bone fragment out of his hand* beautiful power move I fucking love you so so much

alright ben looking like ✨ that✨ not only in physical pain but also emotional pain at what the Darkling clearly considers another betrayal from this girl he wants to give the world and maybe? loves? maybe? or at least has feelings for makes my fucking heart hurt while simultaneously soar at Alina taking back control and reclaiming her power as her own and stepping into her own

'how do you claim such power' okay could have had better dialogue there writers

the fucking score lifting as she says 'you cannot claim what was not given to you' good people my heart is full

one day I'll talk about my defense of the chosen one trope because god damn I kind of love it

hmm I wonder was that brief hesitation that we saw on Alina's face due to her thinking about the 'you chose to betray our people' comment or the 'i was trying to save us' comment because that will define some of her actions in the later seasons (hopefully god if we get some, I honestly don't know what with this stupid brownface debacle)

I'm not saying talking about brownface and pointing out that it is wrong (for further context, I am actually brown) and harmful is stupid btw I'm talking about the incidents involving brownface in question

I don't wanna talk about this anymore but I might feel like I need to and end up posting about it idk

goodness Ivan actually believing in this cause makes me so sad because he too has been victimized by the system that ostracizes Grisha and he has every right to feel the way that he does

Ben actually fighting in that ridiculously heavy cloak and kefta when he's about to turn 40 this year makes me super impressed because I as a 19 year old sometimes wake up with muscle pulls after weeks of inactivity it's weird idk

also I understand that this Mal Darkling fight is completely fanservice and serves nearly no purpose to the plot in general but like I? love it?

'I don't have to kill you Darkling. Your past will do it for me' YES HIMBO GO OFF YOU TELL THAT OLD MAN GODS THAT WAS SEXY AS FUCK

maybe it's because I know Darkles will survive and will come out of it more powerful but I can't get myself to feel bad for him at the moment

Inej and Mal tearing up at Alina's condition made me almost feel something despite it being super obvious she was gonna be fine and save their asses at the last moment

HER POWER

a solitary Kaz in spotted on the western side of the newly expanded fold in his signature all black emo boy look

okay but the crows with zoya and malina is such an adorable team? I literally love them so much?

INEJ'S FUCKING SMILE AT ALINA GIVING HER THE DAGGER AND KAZ LOOKING AT HER AGSGSGSHSJSJSK MY HEART CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE

SHE KNOWS JUST WHAT TO NAME IT WELL GIRLIE I KNOW IT TOO AND MY FUCKING HEART IS LITERALLY GONNA BURST

okay I know they had one interaction but Mal and Jesper would be besties in another universe

Kaz glaring at Jesper when he answers ''course not' to Alina's 'will you still be trying to kidnap me?' tell me one fucking adaptation that got the dynamics between characters this perfectly

okay why do I love that Alina kept the jewellery as maybe a small nod to she has the wits to, um, you know, I don't wanna say steal, but, um, yeah, steal it because she knew she would need money to survive on the run

oh Jessie I love you so much I wish you hadn't said those things on you ig story about the brownface

it's like every single celeb I grow attached to god's like nope that one is going to do or say something problematic (hey btw im not reassigning blame to god for stuff people have done out of their own free will, 'twas a joke)

AAAAAAAH them saying 'the deal is the deal' in the show even though they didn't have to but like they did and I love them for it

Inej literally not being able to not stare at Kaz's face and smile after this <3

'I didn't expect it to burn at all. But it can be destroyed in the end. Just like him' babe you're not wrong but like um just you wait

god Mal being on supportive boyfie mode is well, absolutely adorable, obviously, but I wish we got to see more of him as a person outside of his attachment to Alina

kaz my little demjin I wish you hadn't have had to suffer so much to meet the crows and find your calling

fastforwarding Zoya's arc is also an interesting choice to me

I wish the hug hadn't been done though, it didn't feel earned

maybe Alina awkwardly and half-heartedly (remember, at this point the alliance is fresh and they still don't entirely trust each other) reached for a hug and Zoya avoided her? and then the rest of Zoya's lines followed? that would have made more sense to me at least

I love Sujaya as well, she brought life into Zoya with whatever little screentime and scraps of writing she got

inej asking kaz 'what's your angle?' beep bop bleep morp I sense another incoming embarrassing love confession

'but we do need you' *stares at her face intensely* 'I need you' ah look at the clock, look's like it's time to screech and flap your arms like you're a volcra because you're incapable of containing your emotions

NO YOU CAN'T GO DIRECTLY FROM KANEJ PROGRESS TO HELNIK BREAKUP (TEMPORARY, MIND YOU)

helnik my loves you don't deserve this I'm so sorry for both of you

Matthias fucking smiling ruefully while he says 'this was... just a cruel joke all along' THIS IS NOT FUCKING OKAY

omg hellgate

AAAAAAAAH NINA IS ON THE SAME FRAME AS THE OG CROWS I CAN'T HANDLE THIS

CAMERA PAN FROM KAZ SAYING 'JUST HOW THIS ALL STARTED... WE'RE GONNA NEED A HEARTRENDED' TO NINA OVERHEARING HIM AND LOOKING OVER?????!!!!!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING THIS TO ME?!

Nina genuinely being curious as to the status of the sun saint because she obviously still cares

Also, 'But she is a Saint' okay Kaz trying to earn brownie points you have succeeded

DID THAT SAILOR JUST SAY 'GOED MORGEN FENTOMEN' TO MALINA BECAUSE I AM NOT OKAY WITH THEM JUST THROWING THAT IN MY FACE ALL OF A SUDDEN

gods I know I'll probably see them again but my heart is full of sorrow as my eyes drink in the sight of my crows for the last time for a while

I know people were annoyed at the meadow flashbacks but guess what? as a darklina, I loved them

'now that the Darkling is dead' could have phrased that a little differently my dudes that line needed to hold more weight

am I glad that they showed Darkles in this state with his nichevo'ya as a tasty little cliffhanger despite not being entirely true to the source material? maybe but only because Ben Barnes saying 'follow' and the nichevo'ya doing exactly so sent a chill down my spine

well, that's it for now, I'll have to move on I guess, get back to my real life which I'm obviously not ready to do

thank you to whoever actually read these things

I probably should have just made reactions or commentary videos instead but I'm lazy

my tumblr will probably go into inactivity once more as I emerge from my stint in the grishaverse

it was quite short (less than 2 months), considering the length of my other obsessions but it was definitely more intense than the other ones

For the ATLA ask: Sokka, Ember Island Players, Cabbage Man (also lowkey Yue).

ATLA ask game

thanks for the ask! 😘

Sokka: What was something you got that was an impulsive buy?

Most recently, a knife! Last time I was cooking at my parents’ house, I noticed that their chef’s knife was superrrrr old and worn down. So I was dicking around amazon yesterday and I randomly decided to send them a brand new fancy chef’s knife. :) They should get it today!

Ember Island Players: What’s a movie you hate?

THE MATRIX.

Cabbage man: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen?

oof....like on the street? I have plenty of medical weirdness but I’ll save that because it might be kind of gross to some people.

Okay got one. One time, my then-bf and I were standing in line to go on a rollercoaster, sharing a gummy snake (not relevant to the story, but it was a tasty gummy snake.) Anyway, we were standing in this long line when we heard a couple arguing a few feet away. It was obvious that they were pissed at each other, but they were trying to keep quiet. Idk why they didn’t just get out of line, but whatever. So they’re hissing at each other, making mean faces, etc. But they’re doing it quietly. Then, the woman whips around to her partner and pokes him in the chest and yells, “AND YOU HAD TO BRING UP MY NEED FOR TACOS?!?!?! IN FRONT OF YOUR FAMILY?” 

Uhhh...

Yeah I have no context for that either. All I know is that she was pissed that her partner embarrassed (???) her somehow by telling his family that she wanted tacos? 

‘Twas an odd experience. But the gummy snake was good. And the rollercoaster was awesome!

Yue: What’s your love language?

;) Words of affirmation/acts of love. I’m not a super touchy person, so I really don’t need lots of physical contact to know if someone loves me. But I listen very carefully to the way people speak to me (and in return, I choose what words I use toward others very carefully). I think that the subconscious things that we do, the words we choose, our body language, etc. etc. speaks volumes about what is going on inside our heads.

16 May

i think i fell asleep talking to brad again. i dont even know anymore fahhhhh.

i woke up on the couch again and went back to sleep again in bed. didnt research on the info i needed for my asian studies presentation. so incredibly tired today idk why. but i woke up pretty early. i have been waking up pretty early before my alarm lately. i have an alarm for 6.45am but i have been waking up at around 5.30am even though i have been falling sleep at about 12.30am. i got dressed and wore the new tailor made suit pants i got from school, it was high waisted, interesting. high waisted pants look good for apple bottom butts. noice. i wore my green hoodie over my dress shirt from banana republic, love that shirt. but i later realized that a bunch of green lint stuck on it from my hoodie.

Business Math class was a little confusing at first with net revenue and gross revenue. tried joining natalia, anna, anastasia for lunch but we split for the big tables with the rest of our class. i overheard anastasia talking about some boy cheating on her. when i got back to class she was tearing up for a little bit. he friends could tell she was upset though not all knew what was up. but the came by her side to give her a hug and a kiss before class started. it was very nice to see that she had such supportive friends, boys and girls. a little envious, they are a fun group. i couldnt focus for rooms division class, we were learning accounting terms and procedures. i wasnt following and fell asleep for most of the first period.

Asian studies class was cancelled so i went to the interview room. kinda me chill spot these days. a nice small room with three desks (a lot of table space), electric socket next to me, air conditioner. all with the washroom and water dispenser just a few steps outside the room. 

i tried searching up on info for the rooms division project but i was falling asleep. i wanted to go to the SNU race track before yoga club but i ended up sleeping at the table. no one was at yoga club but the room was open so i just layed out a mat and slept until dinner. Fitness club was at 6.30pm and i had got to dinner at 5.50pm so i just sat by myself for a quick dinner. natalia ended up joining me tho but it was one of those pity things. she said she saw me eating alone so she came to give me company, “no one wants to eat alone” she says. even if its true for many, i believe one still needs to learn to be by themselves aw well. not long after, tomas joined in too cause he arrived to dinner late. we had a GREAT conversation though. we talked about meditation, the 21 days challenge im doing, the music concert in beijing they are going to. Damn, i was really interested in going with them. I send tomas a text asking if i could join. it was comforting warm feeling to hear tomas tell me “ oh i just read your text today and of course you are welcomed to join us”. 

unfortunately, it is this weekend! its probably for the better. Tomas said the whole trip is costing them 4000RMB each. i dont know who exactly is going but even if that includes accomodation, VIP tickets, train tickets. it doesnt cover food and transport and 4000RMB is already quite a bit for me. i dont think i would have even gone without this trip back home. especially since they bought their tickets as a package two weeks ago, who knows if there are any more tickets. would have been hella dope tho. fuuukkk. i didnt go to any cool concert and rock out here in china yet! nooooo.

Entering the fitness club, my eyes were greeted by a shirtless Sean. Wow them chest muscles. Vik was talking to his classmate julie, a korean that could speak russian fluently cause she was born there?? (or lived there) she seemed nice. she was in a suit though cause she was six and couldnt attend the club. Sean was there doing his own things around the school gym, he was just a supporter for Vik. Vik did a great intro, he really knows his stuff. I really like his tone of voice and the way he spoke to us. He taught us a HIT circuit for a rigorous cardio workout. it was a round of high knees, sumo squats, burpees, mountain climbers. Sean came around every once in a while to give encouragement and supervision. Vik was very greatful that jordane and i came cause if not, no one else would have come. 

Brad messaged me when i returned to the interview room. i told him i had just finished with fitness club, he didnt sound happy. we have another long conversation with me crying once again. brad was able to tell now and its better this way so he knows im not always that cold. he was just expressing his feelings. he felt underappreciated and ignored. i havent been paying much attention to him, in fact possibly pushing him away. I missed the last school bus back to Palm Beach(residence) and left at about 9.30pm when security kicked me out again. i didnt manage to get any work done but at least brad was happy again. i bought some grilled squid on the way home, yum twas good but also terrible for my diet. i was talking to Jason, the black taxi driver, when brad called me again. i just rejected the call cause i was busy discussing plans with him. i need him to drive me downtown to the spanish consulate and then the airport on thursday after school. I made sure to call him back right away, once i arrived home but he wasnt happy about it. “how dare you reject my calls” he said jokingly. 

Bradley called again after i went for a light jog. by then i was on the couch looking for the address of the spanish consulate. Jason said if i want to get there by 9am, then we’re gonna have to leave at 7am. none of the staff i asked responded and i couldnt find the right place. i’m just gonna have to wait for them to respond tomorrow, its fine if i dont get there by 9am anyways cause it closes at 12.30pm, no problem. then i fell asleep on the couch again, of course. i woke up not too long after but i was too tired to deal with it.

[opepin]

december: week five

26: i was too excited to go back home. i got up at 6 am and then called the lyft too early. i had to call and ask him to wait like 5 minutes so i could throw out the garbage and make sure everything was set before i left. he was a great driver and i went through security in 30 minutes or so. i went to starbucks to get a pink drink with a breakfast sandwich. i watched my downloaded episodes of akatsuki no yona while waiting to board. i got to experience how to board southwest airlines and it was interesting. i took the closest middle seat because i was in group c and i just wanted to leave early. i checked in my bags so i just had my book bag. i continued to watch anime until we landed. southwest airlines is A+. they gave belvita crackers as their snack and came around and asked if we wanted any more. :0 i went down to claim my bags and then my brother and mom picked me up. we went straight home. i was supposed to shower and stuff but i ended up helping my mom with some things and eating.

i watched anime while waiting for hillary and daniel to pick me up so i could go shopping for my white elephant gift. i gave them their christmas gifts and daniel gave me mine, which i realized (i forgot for some reason) that i had already. he got me fire emblem birthright and $20 for revelations, but kevin and i already bought those LOL. i bought some xmas bags for my mom and then got a old spice bear-themed kit for kevin because i couldn’t resist. :P i bought a pen, pineapple, apple, pen, and cheetah print sunglasses for white elephant because why not? my brother was singing the song when i came back and i thought that would be a hilarious gift. i tried looking for a cheetah print scarf but couldn’t find any. after target, we went to mariano’s because bae wanted gelato. we ended up buying ingredients for pasta for the potluck tomorrow too. then we went to jollibee’s! it was my first time there and i just got the two piece meal without the drink. their chicken is so tender and their mashed potatoes and fries are really good too. i think i like their fries better than mcdonald’s!

we went back to daniel’s and cooked the pasta while talking and listening to music. after cleaning up, we watched daniel play ps4 games and then he drove me back because it was 9 pm and they needed to go to work tomorrow. i showered when i got home and then watched some akatsuki no yona and went to sleep. i was completely zoned out the entire day though. i don’t know how i feel about being back in chicago anymore. i just feel tired. lol, i was so tired that i was doing drunk-like things again. x__x; but i think i stayed up when i got home.

27: i watched some akatsuki no yona in the morning and then was forced to drive to meet up with jeanne and nluu. my mom didn’t want to drive me and she didn’t want me to take the bus. so i had to drive my mom’s old suv and it was a dksfndksfnsj experience. i lightly tapped our neighbor’s suv in front of us trying to pull out and then i had such a hard time parking in the parking lot lol and then we found out cafe orient was closed. so i followed nluu to this korean restaurant, which also turned out to be closed and then he pulled out and i had a huge brain fart and thought the separator wasn’t there anymore so i drove over it LOL. nothing was damaged, but nluu and jeanne were laughing so hard. i reversed off it and then we drove to evanston. we found out that 527 cafe was closed and then hoped that koco table wasn’t -- and it wasn’t! so we ate and talked for a bit. it was nice catching up with them but i just felt like a zombie. i went to crossroads with jeanne after and then drove her to the david purple line stop. then i drove myself home and finished watching my anime and wrapped my white elephant present.

hillary picked me up at around 6:10 pm and then we went to pick up jia. lol, hillary was going crazy; she had a ton of things to do today. bae got me some nice and comfy adidas slides <3 we talked with daniel on the phone while waiting for jia and then we searched for a place that sold a large bottle of corona for hillary’s white elephant gift. we got to tom’s at 7:10 pm and twas’ a happy reunion :) jia and me got jackson to come and yeah. it was nice eating and talking with everyone again. i gave vivian her gift and jia hers and they both really liked it (: yaaay! i also loved their gifts~ ashley surprised me with one and omg, i freaked because she got me some bomb af pineapple cakes. <3333 thanks, gurl! we made hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps (a good amount of it) and then started white elephant! it was fun seeing everyone’s reactions and stuff. mark got my gift and afterward, he just started eating the apple, omg haha. i stole mark’s gift from hillary, which was of course tea and a glass mug. :P

about half of the group started cleaning and headed out to pre-game at daniel’s. i said goodbye to everyone that wasn’t. hmm, i felt like we were very divided though and it made me sad. usually we just stay and talk and play stupid games. idk. :/ sigh. well, we took shots of the rest of the peppermint schnapps and met up with shen! then we lyfted to wrigleyville only to find out all the places were closed. it was a tuesday, so lol. we got some drinks before going into roscoe’s. once we hit the dance floor though, all the “upperclassmen” aka brandon, sunho, raymond, jefferson, jae and even nancy came through! lol, so this is where i became a monster and hillary was my enabler LOL. i should have gone to the dance floor but i don’t think i ever left talking to the upperclassmen. some funny things happened and i hope i will never do them again because i’m a monster LOL. hillary and i left first and then i ended up sleeping over at daniel’s. me and hillary went to sleep on daniel’s bed and then later, i think daniel came back and slept on the floor. what a night.

28: daniel drove me back home in the morning haha. haha. haha. my uncle and grandma pulled up right before us so i got to say hi to them and walk my grandma to the door before i changed and went back to sleep. i felt weak and not okay for the rest of the day. my stomach hurt a lot and i confined myself to doing everything in the bed. i got nauseous after some time trying to do a quick project, but in the end, i just couldn’t and let panorama know. T_T i’m sorry. after eating some mcdonald’s and rice, i felt a bit better. i spent the rest of the day reading akatsuki no yona online. i did get up to shower and everything because i felt super gross. idk, i just felt very disappointed in myself. it’s not like i did anything terrible, but i don’t think i want to do that ever again :/ it’s also not like “i never want to drink and go out again” but it’s more like i don’t want to be like that again because it didn’t feel like it was me. haha, i don’t know. it’s hard to explain. it was really nice hanging out and seeing everyone again though. i got to video chat with kevin for a bit and told him about my adventures so far and then i stayed up until 2 am reading. i’ve definitely reverted back to my high school self here. my stomach still hurt when i went to sleep but not as much.

29: i just didn’t feel like getting out of bed today. it’s weird being back home. i just don’t feel motivated. i stayed in bed while watching some youtube videos and finally got up at 12:30 pm. i ate leftover mcdonald’s and ginger tea for breakfast. my stomach felt better after my mom made ginger tea last night and this morning. i still felt out of it though... i went straight to facebook to figure out who i’m going to see before i fly out again. i will see chewy, which makes me happy but kathy is no longer in chicago T__T booo! i get to see hen soon though. yeah. i read akatsuki no yona the rest of the day and only went downstairs to eat. i planned to exercise today and catch up on updating my tumblr. that’s a start, right? i exercised and then showered and went to sleep. i hit the bed at around 1 or 2 am.

30: momma lee drove me to downtown after her colonoscopy lol. she’s good (: i went to sephora to return some stuff and then went to the blue line and met up with victoria at stan’s donuts. ashley was late so we sat there and talked. i got a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel and victoria got her gelato smoothie thing. when ashley got there, we headed to mitsuwa! i know it sounds crazy, but we commuted to mitsuwa and it felt pretty short thanks to these hoodlums. it was lunch time when we got there so we waited in line for ramen and we got a table right after. i had to assert my presence haha. we bought a crepe while waiting for the ramen and ate that as our appetizer. the pig cheek meat is sooo tender! i got the shio ramen, ashley got the miso ramen, and victoria got the shoyu ramen. mmmm. we all got smalls, which was a good call because we were pretty full after. we still had room for matcha soft serve though ;D it was really yummy. while we ate, we looked at the snacks and stuff. i suggested some snacks to them and they ended up buying things on my recommendation LOL. ashley got the almond chocolate pocky with the ito-en jasmine tea i love, and victoria got the same tea but experimented with this brazilian orange pocky. it tasted like orange starburst, which i didn’t appreciated haha.

i got a roasted green tea bottle and it just tastes like the jasmine one with a stronger flavor. we got on the pace bus no problem and were surprised by the fanciness of it. it was one of the nicer buses. we hopped on the blue line again and then ashley left and victoria and i transferred to the red line. when i’m with them, we gossip, but not really because we’re not the gossiping type so it ends up turning into a “what do you know” conversation. they’re so silly. :) victoria got off and then i transferred to a bus and walked home. hmm, i’ve had lots of thoughts ever since coming back. bleh. i ate dinner a bit after i got home and spent some time bothering my mom haha. we watched shark tank together and then i exercised. i made plans to see more people and then stayed up until 2 or 3 am after i showered for some reason. ehh. idk. haha.

31: i didn’t really have plans for nye. my mom and i went to pleasant prairie outlet mall on a whim to window shop. we went into every store without buying anything until we hit michael kors. they were having a huge sale so my mom bought 2 bags. then we went to coach and found nothing so we headed over to kate spade and we bought 2 more bags. my mom got a cute af red bucket bag that suits her perfectly! she also got a cross body bag that was slightly scratched for only $50! we went back to michael kors and my mom bought wallets for people back in china. these sales were crazy. i was looking at this burgundy michael kors bag, but since we got the kate spade cross body, i didn’t get it. we drove back with all of our goodies (i kept lol’ing at my mom because she spent so much money LOLOL) and then daniel and hillary picked me up for dinner. i just took the cross body and that became my mom’s christmas gift for me :P daniel, hillary, and i ordered from honeymoon cafe, picked up the food, and then went to binny’s to get amaretto, lemon mixer, and simple syrup.

we ate while watching “OA.” we watched the finale and then we watched the nye’s broadcast on the tv. tom came over and then we started to drink. daniel used the re-jigger but i’m not sure how good of a product it is now because the amaretto sours were waaay too sweet. we played card drinking games and tom was getting wrecked. haahahha. then we stopped for a bit so we could make it to the new year. :P hillary and i took pictures together on snapchat and tom was jealous so we included him. it hit 12 am and then we drove out to get tacos! we stopped at our favorite 24-hr place and got them to go. i got 2 tacos and only finished one. then we chilled for a bit and tom left and then daniel drove me back. i got back at 1 or 2 am. it was a nice home-y celebration with daniel, hillary, and tom <3 i wouldn’t ring in the new year any other way <3

jan01: because mindy, hillary, and jia wanted to go to 3 arts club cafe, we went there for brunch to ring in the new year. we only had a 15 minute wait and their couches are so soft. their “waiting room” is beautifully decorated. mindy was running a bit late and jia was the latest but we all made it in time to get seated. we kind of went crazy and got a ton of food on the menu. i got the rh burger and some tea. we all split the prosciutto board and smoked salmon platter. the salmon platter is by far the best thing they have on their menu. the burger was meh. the tea was $6.50 for only two cups of tea. .___.’ it was overpriced, but you were definitely paying for the experience and aesthetics. anyway, it was great hanging out with the girls again <333 i wish das could have been there but she was flying out today T_T i love catching up with all of them in one place because we’re all so busy and it’s rare for us to be able to do this. i had a great time with them ;D

hillary drove jia to the nearest cvs and drove me home. it was around 4 pm so i chilled at home and then drove over to evanston to meet up with juanito at peet’s! lol my parking skills suck. anyway, it was nice catching up with this boy! he was dead from practicing and school starts tomorrow for him again! booo ): we updated each other on our lives and i learned that he hates evanston because it’s so far from chicago and also other things about nu but yeah. he’s doing well, which makes me happy :D i’m glad he had time to see me before things got too crazy for him. i think we talked for about an hour or so and then we walked in the same direction until i walked over to my car. i got home, finished my burger, and i think i worked out before showering and going to sleep. i haven’t been exercising every day, but at least i’m doing something, right? x__x
