Reaching Out

If you didn't know I was Malaysian-Chinese (I mean, I kinda make a huge deal about this these days), what would you have thought I was, ethnically? Like, if you erased all references to where I come from and stuff.

I ask this because I just discovered someone on my f-list who I hitherto had thought was white is actually Asian, and I gotta admit it surprised the heck out of me.

This inquiring mind wants to know!

- My back hurts from running.

- Yay new bus pass!

- I made kaya. Coconut egg jam. I need a blender for it to be properly smooth but I guess it's okay. I'll have a go at eating it for a bit and see how it turned out.

- I made kaya because I made curry, and I didn't want remaining half can of the coconut milk to go to waste.

- Although now that I think of it, I could have just used it for the rice. Oops.

- Went round the Common with _juju_ this evening. Total of four rounds around the North Common, walked twice, jogged once, walked a final round.

- My back really hurts from running.

- I was gonna write my Seven Sins blog series this weekend but my brain is so tired. It's the vita activa versus the vita contemplativa again!!

- ... Which you'd only get if you were in my Honours class on Democratic Individualism or were following my posts on it.

- lady_zip is now glassfishgirl. I wish my cheque to LJ got through the mail and I got my rename token =(

- I will now go cook rice, and turn off the computer to continue my sewing. I need to fix my bag.

- I went grocery shopping amd bought Bagefuls. OMG THEY ARE SO YUMMY. This time I bought the ones with CHIVES in the creamcheese omg.

- Did I mention I really love cream cheese? No? OMG I LOVE CREAM CHEESE.

- ESPECIALLY IN CHEESECAKE. Which I haven't made in a while.

- I also bought shortbread cookies but they're not even half as good as the Michelle Obama ones pernishus makes!

ETA: Just saw this line over at Pandagon:

"Well, we depressed people are self-centered, insufferable, boring, neurotic assholes."

I LOL'd. I'll have to keep this line in mind for the next time I get into a depressive rut, so I can have a good laugh at myself.

Now that most of you have seen Star Trek...

( Random thought while watching it )

And that's all I've got to say about it. And I'm saying it because thinking about it is really exhausting for me right now, and I keep seeing these "9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB" signs all over Halifax, so I found it a bit amusing to say that.

If the election were a D&D campaign...

Wonderful.

Gues where I got this from?

The much-estimed, self-confessed pro-pornie whore RenEv. I swear.

This is not, as my excellent friend nolan_ash puts it, contradiction; this is complexity in human beings.

No, I won't be signing up, because it reminds me too much of Neopets. But it's cute to look at!
