I have a little magic trick for you. So follow the video as I roll a die and I want you to guess which number it'll land on. I guarantee you won't get it, but go ahead and guess =)

This was the science project yesterday.

I love you =)

A Night of Boxing

Sometimes I just feel like I did really well. My punches were crisp. My footwork was clean, except that time I tripped over myself and fell into the reflection of myself as I was right by the mirror. I had stamina to go for the whole round. And after I did a whole mess of leg stuff. I think my sparring match with Australia gave me a confidence boost, or maybe it's just the renewed spirit I've had lately. Either way, I'm hanging onto it for as long as possible.

Seriously, I feel cleansed though. I haven't felt too neurotic, except the toothpaste incident and tonight I wanted a protein shake but Coach Amy was talking with someone in Korean and I didn't want to interrupt. My classes have been better behaved. I'm being productive. I haven't looked at porn in nearly a week! That's not really that odd. I'm not an addict or anything who needs it every night, but for a while, I was feeling lonely and needed it every night.

But now, I'm happy. Because of you. Thank you. I love you. 

Directorometer

Director Lee rates everything by how expensive or cheap it is. If he describes something as good, the next sentence he'll try to get out will be about how it was under 10,000 Won. If something is so-so, it's because it's fun but expensive, which of course is relative and any meal over 10,000 Won, no matter how nice the restaurant is, can only be so-so or bad. Anything that isn't fun and is expensive is bad. I'd agree with him on that.

But everything is also qualified with a little.

"Are you feeling better?"

"A little bit."

"Was the meal good?"

"A little."

And he must understand what it means because he does the motion with his finger and thumb closing their gap. I wouldn't mind his quirk, except it makes him hard to talk to. I don't know his opinion on most things other than based on their price. Like once he was talking to me about these King Crabs they have in Korea during spring. They sell for as much as 250,000 Won. He bought one once and all he could talk about was the price so I couldn't even get out of him if it tasted better than a cheaper crab, like the snow crab.

He did talk about sea fishing today. He said it's about 80,000 won each if we can get 10 people together. I don't know who would fill out our party, but I'd go. He said you each catch about 50 fish and get to take them home and eat them.  Ultimately that comes to $1.6 a fish, which is surely an expensive fish but it's also about the experience and fun that goes with catching it. Though I'm not sure I could prepare the fish myself... And there's no way I could eat it with its eyes still on, just staring at me...

Anyway, I love you and your skin is radiant today! 

The List (In Progress)

So I've been thinking about the things you could do for me. While I suggested it to give you something to do, I also want to only include items that I'll really appreciate so you're not just doing busywork. That way I never take anything you do for granted and I'll be so grateful that you'll feel as valuable as you are (which is A LOT).

I could list it here if you want, but the list isn't long and my first thoughts were all lazy ones, like take a picture for me once a week so I can see your lovely face. Which, I'm not opposed to, I would love that, but then what am I valuing? That you're pretty? I'm glad you're pretty but it's not why you're precious to me. So I figure for every 4 items of actual worth, I might include a lazy, superficial, or sexual idea. And that ratio might change as I think more about what I'd appreciate from you. You can always refuse ideas too. I'm only posting this here because it's lunch time and that's usually when I post in the blog and you're sleeping (hopefully well!) so I'm entertaining myself with thoughts of you. =) They're good thoughts. 

I'm very very very sorry

Oh no! The thing I meant to post while at school yesterday didn't post! I missed a day! So I'll post twice today. Yesterday was just commenting on how I forgot to go to school at 10 for cooking class and Australia had to come get me. Wisconsin forgot too and I was only 10 minutes late and didn't miss anything. No big deal.

What will I post next? We'll see! 

The way the leaves change is nice.

I like it, but not even close to how much I love you. 

Editing

About a year ago, you might remember I started this blog, LetsWriteRight. I found stories online, generally from Wattpad, and revised them to much better form. I  wrote a handful of articles and one teen even asked me to do it for their story. When I got to Korea, or maybe just before, I started editing another story in the same way and I never posted it because I was busy adjust to life in Korea. Lately I've had a lot of free time at night. Sometimes I can't do my own writing and sometimes I don't want to play games or watch reruns. So I think I'll try this editing again. If I continue applying for MFA programs, it'll be something else to show off.
