gosh. this tv show is so emo

there are a couple of things.

1. the mouse on this computer refuses to work. it drives me insane just tabbing all over the place, because lj is really hard to navigate like that.

2. chinana is filled with fun things and food. i feel really fat, but entertained. there is no snow yet, as it has been an unusually warm winter, but i have not given up hope.

3. mum just walked in with a hot pan full of vinegar. apparently this will help with germ-killing. i am skeptical, but a) i'm not sick, and would like to keep it that way and b) i really like vinegar.

4. i miss summer :\ i also miss everyone currently stuck in summer. no one awesome is ever on msn anymore. this makes me sad. though, if people give me their mobile numbers i could possibly sms them.

5. christmas! chinese people just use it as an excuse to go out and have fun. dinner last night was incredibly satisfying. i wish that they'd stop playing christmas carols on repeat in supermarkets, though.

6. my mum's family is clearly insane.

7. my dad's family is even more insane.

8. i need to upload some of these photos.

9. i have shiny paid account! and iconspace. thanks to kathy. who will be leaving me for SIX MONTHS next year, whoring herself off to hot canadians. i eye her. her and her shiny trip.

10. did i mention that my family is insane?

11. my cousin has started working for the ioc. this intrigues me. a lot.



day -1 i spot simone on the plane! She was sitting 3 seats away from me, off to japanland for a week. it's a small world.
day 1 chinese restaurants in brisbane are crap compared to the real thing.
day 2 the first day that i started realising just how insane my family really was. my grandma is like a child.
day 3 gosh, the tv channels. so much to watch, so little time.
day 4 this day is sorta fuzzy. we went to stay at ioc!cousin's place, because my grandma was being insane, as she does. internet access!
day 5 lunch at where ioc!cousin had her wedding just last month. actually, she had four weddings, 'cause she entered some tv competition and got to have 3 of them free. >.>
day 6 slept in. i love sleep.
day 7 went to a salon to get my hair washed, and get an upper-body massage, because the massage is free with the hair thing, and the hair thing is dirt cheap anyway.
day 8 journeyed to the great northeast, ie. dad's family. it's really cold up there. and dad's family is huge. not to mention money-crazy.
day 9 i spent the day chasing cats and feeding already-fed chicken, it was great. people kept trying to question me, which i hated, which was the reason i spent the day chasing cats and feeding chickens.
day 10 leaving the great northeast. yes! i tried to get a photo of that cat i was chasing around for the first 2 days, but my camera ran out of batteries, even though i had three sets.
day 11 i spent the day recouperating, mum spent the day sick.
day 12 beijing wind is... crazy. so crazy. the skin was blown off my face. literally, in some places. i bought a copy of cosmo. chinese cosmo is 20 yuan, which is approximately 3.5 australian dollars. it is also about 5 centimeters thick. the thing kept me occupied for two hours.
day 13 ikea is wonderful everywhere. as are foot massages.
day 14 xmas eve! shopping is so wonderful that i could weep with joy. but i won't, because i didn't actually buy anything. and they had jingle bells on a loop.
day 15/today merry xmas! i still can't believe i spent half the day running around the hospital trying to get grandma some prescribed medicine. it would be so much easier if everything was just concentrated in one place.

chinana is so crowded.
