#just because they think eating anything but beef and chicken is 'weird and scary and gross'
Text
as a general rule, on average, if americans consistently complain about a food being conceptually weird, gross, and scary, then it probably tastes amazing. or at least inoffensive.
this is because in my experience americans for the most part (give or take a few exceptions by region) think eating literally anything other than beef, chicken, bread, eggs, peanut butter jelly sandwitches, ketchup, and disgusting cloyingly artificial brown sludge soda is insurmountably weird, gross, and scary.
#a lot of people literally refuse to even eat ham or pork#not even for like religious or health reasons#just because they think eating anything but beef and chicken is 'weird and scary and gross'#every time i hear people going on en masse about how 'weird and an acquired taste' something foreign is i go and try it and i'm just like#what the fuck were all of you smoking. where is the unbearable weirdness i am supposed to be experiencing#shoutout to that time i kept hearing about how bizarre a flavor milkis soda is and how intimidating and acquired of a taste#then when i actually try the stuff. it's just fucking peach soda. it's peach soda with a faint tangy yogurtish taste. it makes good floats.#how in the absolute fuck is anything even remotely weird much less gross about this?#unless your concept of what a 'soda' should be is poisoned by a lifetime of the entire soda aisle being filled with nothing but brown sludg#from the same 3 brands that all taste like what would happen if they could distill the concept of diabetes and artificial flavoring syrup#i don't know if other countries have this but there's this weird cultural like mandatory rejection of any 'unusual' food here#way more intense than i've seen from anyone from any other country (though that might just be inexperience with other cultures talking)#people react to the mere suggestion of any food outside a very narrow range with outright disgust and genuine fear and horror#and there's a huge amount of unspoken peer pressure on everyone to also do the same#like you're expected to agree with them and you've breeched some sort of silent social contract if you don't#it's seen as *immoral* almost it feels like#it's difficult to describe unless you've noticed it yourself#americans react to the mere suggestion of eating anything outside of the same 2 meats and handful of fillers the same way#that pearl-clutching aristocrat grandmas react to hearing that people in foreign countries do.. basically anything#it doesnt matter if you're suggesting eating ube cake or suggesting eating live bugs because people will react the same way#everything that's not chicken/beef/ect is as good as bugs to people here#hate this stupid blandass country and how impossible it is to afford any food other than burgers if you're not rich#or blessed with relatives that have any idea how to cook and are at all willing to teach you#cause nother weird thing i've noticed about food culture-or at least wasp food culture-that i haven't seen anywhere else quite the same way#is that if you DO have any relatives that know how to cook then nine times out of ten they will jealously guard their recipes like a dragon#and refuse to share them with anyone#thus taking whatever little cooking knowledge was in the family to their grave#so the opportunity other people usually have for family bonding via passing on recipes? pffft no.#for some reason we seem to actively go out of our way to prevent these things from being passed on#i don't know what the fuck is up with that but i suspect it has something to do with 50's dinner party oneupmanship

Triple f  day  [flashpoint fanfiction friday]
 
(Sometimes you wonder if this attack was planned)
Staring the whole team.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Greg : pov  the new guy on team 4 is weird, the way he stares at jules, he always seems so angry around her to me. The other team leaders/Sargent's are talking about him since Donna is out for a few weeks for her honeymoon Carl has never been around another woman officer, only Jules. We think it might be a woman he does not like, we are not sure. Spike and Wordy are restocking the self while Sam and Jules exercise together. We decided to watch him closely from now on.
Wordy : pov me and spike are restocking the shelf and telling jokes. We talk about family and I told him the girls made get well soon cards for his dad, and I would drop them off tomorrow so he could give them to his dad.
Sam : pov I had to pee so bad but I did not want to leave jules alone that one officer Carl is weird around her. Since no one was in the gym, jules told me she would be fine. and to go pee 2 minutes after, on my way back to the gym I hear her scream really loud I manage to pull him of off her. Since he was choking her he ran off,  while I caught her before she fell onto the floor. I laid her down then checked her vitals. She was not breathing and unconscious. I managed to call winnie, and have her call medics and have wordy bring a medical kit. A few seconds later and wordy arrived with the medical kit I opened it. And grabbed the resuscitation mask i had wordy slowly pumping air into jules. I felt around her neck and put an ice pack on it, to try and keep the swelling  down. spike was by the door waiting for the medics.
Jules : pov I was working out with sam while he was in the bathroom. Carl came into the gym and started yelling about how women are worthless, useless and have no place on an sru team. He accused me of hoarding the work out equipment for myself. All of a sudden he started to attack me. He was choking me but I managed to scream before Sam came and everything started to turn black it was so hard to breathe.
Ed : pov we were not fast enough and that sob attack jules now we need to go find him, sam is taking care of jules we are looking in every room for him even in the closets. He was not on the main floor of the building. His car was still in the parking lot so he could not have gone very far.
Sam : pov I found an epi pen in the medical kit and decided to try it to see if it would help open up her airway. Once the medics arrived they took over, I told them her vitals and what happened.  A medic named Terry tilted her head back and inserted a number 5et tube since her airway was closing, he went with a smaller tube. Once it was properly in place he secured it and then inserted an iv in her arm. He also hooked her up to some monitors. I rode with her the whole way to the er. A dr and a specialist were waiting for us in triage room one. They gave jules some pain meds since she was starting to stir a little. Once she was back asleep a dr named Jerry did an ultrasound of her neck while dr Jen felt around she said everything feels okay, but she wants some scans to be sure. 40 minutes later and she came back to talk about the results. She said it is very severe bruising of the airway with some soft tissue that is injured/inflamed it will be at least 3 days before the breathing tube can come out. Maybe more he went to tell the team the update on jules while she was moved to the icu.
Spike : what happened to jules was so scary. I'm so glad Troy and Greg thought to look in the woman's bathroom because they found him hiding in there. Sam gave us an update on her injury; it does not sound good at all. The dr told Sam a few more seconds and she would have died. He really did save her life today. We visited her every day for 5 day.
Sam : pov it has been 5 days  since the attack the dr said we could try and wake her up just slowly. At noon jules woke up and was trying to pull her breathing tube out.  The specialist dr Jen came in and checked jules's vitals then started to take the tube out. Once it was out she switched her to an oxygen mask. She told her no talking, swallowing will be hard and hurt alot. A nurse wheeled in a cart with some  supplies on it, dr Jen said it is for her feeding tube jules was not happy with that at all once the dr placed the feeding tube down jules's nose she taped it in place and started administering the tube food.
Jules : pov ugh the feeding tube is ruff, swallowing hurts, breathing hurts. I'm just plain miserable, I fell asleep until 6 then the team came by. They talked with me About their day and how the new recruits are working out. I wrote my sentences down on a dry erase board so I could be included in the conversation. The team left at 7 except for Greg who stayed a little while extra so Sam could eat, it was awesome Greg stayed with me for a bit, we got to talk about stuff so he talked I wrote what I wanted to say afterwards me, and Sam went to bed. In the morning I got transferred to a regular room. Then Sam showered while my dr checked my vitals and stuff she said I could shower if I wanted to.
Sam : pov Dr Jen said jules could shower but the oxygen mask goes back on immediately after. A shower chair was put in the bathroom for jules 15 minutes later and jules was back in bed and asleep. I went down to the cafeteria for lunch. It was now 1pm and Jules was up and we watched a movie. Jules signed to me that she was thankful I saved her life. Yesterday shelly had stopped at jules house in the morning and got her some clothes which jules was wearing now. Tomorrow jules had physical therapy and a form of food therapy. The team came to visit for 1 hour, Wordy talked about his kids and so did ed they even had get well soon cards from their kids. After we went to bed. It was the 7th day jules had spent in the hospital, jules did not get her morning feeding.  A guy from Food therapy came to see jules, Dr Jen switched her to nasal oxygen, he checked her throat and cleared her to try liquids. Water was the first down it was ruff but it went down, her breakfast was a protein drink. After the physical therapist came to work with Jules she had her walking around and doing some light exercises. Lunch was some chicken broth. Dr Jen cleared jules to not need oxygen one step closer to getting released. Sam played a few board games with jules she showered, so did sam dinner was a smoothie for jules and a sandwich for him. The team came by and talked about their day and how jules was doing. They talked for an hour while jules signed/wrote down what she wanted to say after Dr Jen came in and gave jules her medicine for her throat. She pulled Sam aside to talk about jules and how she was making good progress, she said if everything looks good tomorrow they can start to talk about  a release plan for her.
Jules : pov
It was the next morning my breakfast was a protein shake, the lady from pt was ruff everything was so sore I guess a week of not moving does that to you. Lunch was more broth this time it was beef flavored. Sam had a roast beef sandwich then we both showered. I was taken down for some neck/throat scan which made me scared Dr Jen said everything was looking better. She said I could try and talk but to not use my voice too much it will hurt a lot. I tried to talk but nothing happened. I was then taken for more test and  scans afterwards a speech therapist came by to see me. She said it might take time and hard work but I would talk again. Later After dinner which was a smoothie for me and pasta for sam. The guy from food therapy came by and talked about solid foods I can have starting tomorrow. 
Sam : pov the team came over at six, I told them the good news jules could have solid starting tomorrow I also told them the not so good news that jules could not talk yet The dr cleared her for it but no sound came out when she tried she thinks it is temporary. In the morning jules got her feeding tube taken out it was not pretty. Breakfast was apple sauce which went down dr Jen said jules would need to eat soft foods for a week and then go from there at her follow up appointment. Jules was so excited she signed does this mean I'm getting released and dr Jen said after lunch if all looks good. I called Greg and told him the good news jules had oatmeal for lunch. I had some eggs, wordy called and asked me if jules needed anything food wise because shelly is at the grocery store and can pick it up so when you get home there will be soft foods available for jules. Sam thanked wordy and told him what jules could eat he said shelly could pick up some baby food. Since that is very soft and comes in a lot of flavors. Sam asked Jules, she said it was okay with her. 40 minutes later and jules was getting released dr Jen handed jules her speech therapy scheduled. The speech therapist had handed to her she was cleared for light workouts and exercising and to not over do it. At home shelly had left a note, jules napped until dinner which was banana baby food jules, signed it tasted good. We showered and went to bed. In the morning I got jules showered and my self her breakfast was a protein drink. We made it to her therapy appointment on time. Since they had run some tests at the hospital they knew all about her medical history the slp named Jessica did some manual  circumlaryngeal techniques on jules. She also showed us some stretches and self massage techniques. After we went home and jules ate mashed potatoes, she then fell asleep until dinner which was more baby food peas and carrots yum. Tomorrow she had more speech therapy. To be continued........

A side story for my Magic AU that can be read as a standalone one shot. Magic AU part 2 starts on Sunday and will update weekly!
“I’m so, so sick of eating chicken every day.”
“That’s your only takeaway?” Ryou asked, sounding amused. “I tell you I gave up my immortality for you, and all you can say is how sick you are of eating chicken?”
“It’s been almost a year since I had any meat that wasn’t chicken,” Youichi argued. “I want a burger.”
And that was when a brilliant idea struck him.
“Ryou-san,” Youichi said, lowering his voice to reflect the gravity of the situation. “We’re going on a McDonald’s date.”
“We’re going on a what?”
“A McDonald’s date,” Youichi repeated. “It’s what all the broke college kids are doing. I’ll buy you a burger or whatever else you want.”
Ryou looked a little skeptical, but he wasn’t saying no, which was more than enough room for Youichi to herd them both out the door and down the street to the closest McDonald’s. His mouth was already watering from the smell of cheap, questionable quality fast food.
Youichi walked up to counter manned by a probably underpaid, high school aged cashier, slamming money on the counter.
“Ten of your finest hamburgers, please.”
“Uh…”
“And a small drink.”
“Is this a joke?” the cashier asked, eyes pleading for a yes. Youichi shook his head and pushed his money closer to the cashier’s hand. The cashier looked terrified at the idea that he might, in fact, be serious.
“Ten hamburgers and a small drink it is,” he said faintly. “Will, uh, will there be anything else?”
“A strawberry milkshake,” Ryou said. “And a small fry.”
“If you want a burger, get your own,” Youichi told him. “I’m not sharing.”
The cashier looked to be nearly in tears.
“I’ll take a burger too, then,” Ryou said sweetly. Youichi held back laughter at the look on the cashier’s face. Poor kid.
“It’ll, um, probably be a minute?” The cashier said it more like a question than a statement.
“We’ll wait,” Youichi assured him.
“That’ll be ¥1680,” the cashier said. Youichi gave him the money.  Ryou gave him another one of those sweet smiles that dripped poison as they found a booth to sit. Youichi tapped his foot impatiently.
“I can see why broke college students like this place,” Ryou said. “You just bought enough food to feed a small army for less than ¥2000.”
“Isn’t it glorious?” Youichi asked. “I can already feel my arteries clogging up.”
Ryou gave him a look.
“Humans are weird.”
“Sometimes you have to eat something you know for a fact is bad for you just to make yourself feel alive.”
“I stand by my earlier statement.”
They were interrupted then by someone bringing them their food. There was something intensely satisfying about the way the burgers had to be stacked on top of each other to fit on the tray.
“Are you really going to eat all ten burgers?” Ryou asked, sipping from his milkshake as he removed the only burger that belonged to him.
“I said I was going to,” Youichi said. “I wasn’t kidding.”
He unwrapped the first burger, biting into it with a satisfied moan. It was just as disgusting and greasy as he’d been hoping. After almost a full year of chicken, he couldn’t be happier to be eating questionable beef again.
Youichi inhaled five burgers before he finally slowed down enough to pay attention to Ryou again. Ryou was dipping his fries in his milkshake, fixing Youichi with a look that was equal parts horrified and fascinated.
“What?” Youichi asked before he remembered that he still had some food in his mouth and that was probably gross.
“I’m attracted to you for reasons I can’t explain even to myself,” Ryou told him bluntly.
“I thought we already had this conversation,” Youichi said.
“No, I mean right now,” Ryou said. “Who knew watching you put away that much food like it’s nothing would be attractive. Scary, and kind of grotesque, but attractive.”
“I’m going to take that as a compliment,” Youichi said. “How are you enjoying your first McDonald’s experience?”
Ryou considered his discarded burger wrapper and nearly finished milkshake.
“This food is terrible,” he said. Youichi nodded because, yeah, the food objectively sucked. “Why do I want more of it?”
“Welcome to being human,” Youichi told him. “Sometimes you want what you know you shouldn’t.”
“Maybe that explains you.”
“Hey. You were still a normal demon when you decided you were attracted to me. That one’s on you.”
“So it would seem,” Ryou said silkily, but he didn’t sound particularly upset about it. Just curious in the way only a centuries-old demon recently introduced to McDonald’s could really be.
Youichi started to slow down, chewing more mechanically as he moved into his eighth burger. Maybe ten had been a little ambitious. McDonald’s didn’t exactly keep – or maybe it did, he didn’t want to think too hard about it – so he kept chewing.
He didn’t protest when Ryou stole one of the remaining burgers, though. Youichi wasn’t a quitter, but who was he to refuse a helping hand.
“I think you’re gonna have to roll me out of here,” Youichi sighed, satisfyingly full. He’d probably regret having this much McDonald’s in one sitting tomorrow, but today, he felt great.
“I’m not carrying you up any stairs,” Ryou warned.
“That’s fair.”
Youichi managed to walk out under his own power. The early spring night was still chilly, and he wrapped his arms around himself. Ryou tucked his arm into Youichi’s.
“Hey,” Youichi said, realization dawning. “This was our first date.”
“We’ve gone out together before,” Ryou countered.
“Not just the two of us,” Youichi argued right back. “We’re always going with the team, or just Haruichi. This is the first time it’s been just us.”
“Unless you want to count that time we went to get the chicken.”
“I really don’t.”
Still, he couldn’t completely suppress his laughter at the memory. That damn chicken really had broken a lot of the ice between them. Youichi had almost been sad to kill it, but sacrifices to keep his demon alive had to be made, and then food was food.
“It was a nice date,” Ryou said, looking up at the scattered stars that were starting to show above the street lights.
“It was a cheap date,” Youichi said. “I’ll take you on a better one at some point.”
Ryou shook his head.
“I liked this,” he said. “It seemed…fitting.”
And in a way, it had been. Less because of the location, and more because Youichi would’ve been happy anywhere as long as he got to spend time with Ryou. He was starting to suspect that Ryou felt the same way, though he would never admit it in so many words.
This was them. A little cheap, a little dysfunctional, but it worked for them. Youichi wouldn’t have it any other way.

Keto Food Doesn’t Bring You Joy Like Sweets Used To - Try This!
Tumblr media
You only need one goal: "stay on plan today." that's it. lather, rinse, repeat. before you know it, one day turns into one week, into one month, into one year. if you mess up, start again tomorrow. Find a keto dessert that satisfies your cravings. It could be Lily’s chocolate or a mug cake or keto cheesecake or red jelly with whipped cream. Always have it on hand so that you have something to reach for when you feel tempted to cheat.
Day to star new diet regime?
Start at your 2nd last working day on the week, better if there are extra holiday ahead, I started at Thursday, I'm off on Saturday and Sunday, and there is also a holiday on Monday so I can lay on my bed and not doing anything while I'm having the keto flu. This is assuming you are lucky enough to have keto flu on your 3rd day. Ignore the replacement foods. real chicken, beef, pork, and fish will never steer you wrong. Fat is a limit not a goal. I had already lost 40 pounds on keto before I understood what fat is a limit not a goal meant. Eat as just much fat as you need to feel full but be mindful of what fat you eat and not exceed your fat macros guidelines if you want to lose weight. Low carb keto weight loss depends on burning your body fat for fuel instead of carbs. If you eat too much fat, you burn your food fat instead of body fat. You need fat to feel full which is why it is said it is a limit meaning do not go over the fat macro.
Get used to taste of new low carb food
Tumblr media
Don’t try to replace bread and your favorite carbohydrate rich foods. Think about texture when planning your meals. If you’re eating something soft like tuna salad, pair it with something crunchy like cucumber slices, moon cheese, or almonds. GET MORE FIBRE, if you've got weird or irregular poops, add more fiber to your diet. Still fiber does not count in net crabs as it’s not digestible and does not enter the blood as glucose. It just passes through digestive system adding volume to your poop and making bowel movement easier and more sustainable even on a high fat.
Drink all the water: electrolytes are essential for keto style!
Don't forget the electrolytes, but chill with the diet sodas. Get water into your body, you'll feel less snacky through the day. Remember that you still have to keep your calories down in order to lose weight. I curb mindless snacking by doing 16:8 IF. Don’t try to replace bread and your favorite carbohydrate rich foods. Cauliflower rice is the one exception, it's a great substitute for actual rice. Keto "breads" are not all they're cracked up to be, and won't scratch that bread itch. Maybe you'll love keto friendly "breads". Everyone's taste is different.
Find out what makes your body feel best
Tumblr media
Don't beat yourself up if you eat too many carbs on accident, or if you slip up. In the first few weeks, don’t worry as much about being frugal. If you like butter in your coffee, or you want to eat spam every day, or if you like eating tons of veggies and sometimes it pushes you over 20g carbs, it's about what works best for you, not what works best for other people in this sub. Don't beat yourself up if you eat too many carbs on accident, or if you slip up. In the first few weeks, don’t worry as much about being frugal. If eating steak is what it takes to make you feel less deprived and more resolute to stay the course, do it. You are forming new eating habits, and the key to making habits stick is make them as enticing as possible up front. Accept that you will fail at some point. Anticipate cheating, with the resolution that a cheat meal should not lead to a whole cheat day, because that could lead to falling off the wagon long term.
Hunger is just a feeling, and it's not that bad a feeling
Hunger no longer is a scary feeling that I must avoid at all costs. I actually feel great when hungry on keto knowing that you’re burning fat at that moment. On keto I actually start to like the feeling of having an empty stomach. I drink coffee in the morning, which probably also helps, but I also drink it with a half-cup of heavy cream, and no matter what, that really helps keeps hunger at bay. When you’re hungry, you should always drink a glass of water and wait a short period. The signals your brain sends for hunger and thirst are close to each other and occasionally get crossed, so you will sometimes feel hungry when you’re actually thirsty. I think this has something to do with blood sugar and/or the addictive nature of carbohydrates.
Emotions: how we fear hunger
Tumblr media
it's been hardwired how we fear hunger into us that we need to meet a three-meal-a-day standard when in actuality three legit meals a day, puts most of us far in to a caloric surplus. I get a low blood sugar hunger around 10 am every morning, and I challenge myself to let it pass, which only takes 5 minutes, without consuming anything. The body has ways of regulating blood sugar in the absence of caloric intake. Being hungry is a normal feeling that doesn't need to be instantly remedied and most of the time you're just thirsty. It's low blood sugar vs true hunger on keto.
Make sure you are eating enough overall
Your hunger not being regulated can mean it’s very suppressed which is common in the beginning, this might mean you are under-eating. Lots of people find that simply can’t eat enough in first couple months because their hunger is so suppressed. When I was eating a lot of carbs, hunger felt like something that had to be taken care of right now. It felt like if I didn't take care of it with a snack instantly, it was the end of the world.
Hunger on Keto doesn't feel so desperate.
It's like I'm being made aware, but it's more like my body is telling me that it's something I need to take care of it when I could. High-carb diets where you're filling up on mostly carbs and vegetable oil,  you end up really hungry even after eating and so you have to eat until you're practically sick just to feel some kind of satiety. Then, it gets even worse when you start thinking of food as a scarce resource -- you know you're going to be horribly hungry in a few hours so you make sure not to skip any meals and you try to get as much food as possible in during your meals. The whole thing is a big miserable cycle that makes your life revolve around food. if you aren’t hungry then just let it be. But under-eating is not something you want to keep up long term so just keep an eye on things. Read the full article

I was tagged by
@mrrightandmrbubble
and
@sweet-summer-rain
to answer some questions, which is super cool. Thanks!
Who are you named after? My mother went into labor at like five in the morning or something like that, idk.
Last time you cried? I can’t actually remember, which is odd for me.
Do you like your handwriting? It’s alright. It’s legible when I need it to be.
What is your favorite lunch meat? Roast beef
Do you have kids? Fuck no
Do you use sarcasm? Yep
Do you still have your tonsils? Yessir
Would you bungee jump? Honestly probably not. I get a surge of adrenaline when i go to do pretty much anything so I really don’t see the point.
What is your favorite kind of cereal? Cheerios, plain
Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Not unless I have to
Do you think you’re strong? Not even a little
What is your favorite ice cream? probably chocolate, depends on my mood though
What is the first thing you notice about someone? Whatever they are talking about at that moment. Except, once or twice I’ve encountered people who look at others in a really focused, intense way, which always tends to stick with me.
Football or baseball? Neither; I don’t do most things sports-related. If I had to pick, I’d say baseball just because football culture is weird to me.
What is the least favorite thing you like about yourself? Uh I don’t know. Maybe like, my fear of vulnerability

Scary movies or funny? Funny
Last movie you watched? Rogue One
What color shirt are you wearing? It’s olive green and kinda flouncy. It’s got ruffles and lacey stuff but I still like it a lot??
Favorite holiday? Not sure, a lot of  the social navigation makes me nervous. Especially when there are presents involved, yikes
Wine or beer? Wine, but only if it’s crazy sweet bc I don’t really drink
I’m tagging @camellia-quince, @ledzeppelinhair, @shostabroviich, @trancybutler, @sweetandsourbabyjesus, @apocalypse---meow, and @0delay

Rules: Complete the survey and say who tagged you in the beginning. When you are finished tag 5 people to do this survey. Have fun and enjoy!!! @the-forest-library tagged me. Thanks!
1: Are you named after someone? Yes, I was named after my mother’s favorite great-aunt. I don’t remember exactly the relation. 2: When was the last time you cried? I binge watched the Korean drama ‘W’ in a day and a half (no one tell my mother) and cried during the last episode when I thought the main character had died. 3: Do you like your handwriting? It’s alright. It could be better with effort, but I’m too lazy to put in the effort. It’s not ugly, so I guess it’s fine. 4: What is your favorite lunch meat? Roast beef 5: Do you have kids? No. That would require having a spouse, and I don’t have one of those yet. 6: If you were another person, would you be friends with you? Probably. I’m a friendly, easy-going person and I can be friends with just about anyone.  7: Do you use sarcasm? Not really. Rare occasions only. 8: Do you still have your tonsils? Yep. 9: Would you bungee jump?  While it looks like a whole lot of fun, I would probably be too scared to do it. 10: What is your favorite kind of cereal? Lucky Charms, Marshmallow Mateys, or anything with marshmallows in general. Like the special edition Star Wars cereal. I still have two boxes of that. 11: Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Only certain kinds of shoes. My running shoes, yes, my chucks or boots, no. 12: Do you think you’re a strong person? Not particularly. I’m not weak, either, though. Just average.  13: What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Birthday Party! Or anything with pop rocks, which isn’t a think in the US, and it needs to be. That’ll be the first thing I get when I go back to Korea. Ice cream with pop rocks. 14: What is the first thing you notice about people? Height, I think?  16: What is the least favorite physical thing you like about yourself? Right this second, the fact that half of my nails all broke within a week and now my nails are all uneven and ugly. Ordinarily, my right hip which hurts occasionally. 17: What color pants and shoes are you wearing now?  Blue jeans and no shoes, but pastel pink, green, and gray striped socks. 18: What was the last thing you ate? Dinner, which was a large bowl of rice topped with ramen noodles and home-made bbq chicken pieces, with kimchi and picked radish on the side. It was a quick mishmash meal out of things I had in the kitchen, since I’m close to being broke right now and a while before I get paid again. So weird food yay. 19: What are you listening to right now? Right this second, Summertime Sadness by Lana del Ray.  20: If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Some lavender shade of purple. 21: Favorite smell? Rain and old books. 22: Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone? My Bishop, I think (leader of my church congregation.) 23: Favorite sport to watch? I like watching basketball, but I don’t like watching sports on the TV. It has to be in person. 24: Hair color? Somewhere in between blond and brown. 25: Eye color? Blue-ish, with yellow in my left eye. 26: Do you wear contacts? No.  27: Favorite food to eat? Korean. 28: Scary movies or comedy? Comedy anyday. 29: Last movie you watched? The Book of Life. 30: What color of shirt are you wearing? Black, actually. One of my few black shirts. It has the Avengers on it. 31: Summer or winter? Can I say Autumn instead? If not then I pick Winter. 32: Hugs or kisses? Hugs, but only because I don’t have a lot of experience with kisses. That takes a second person, and I don’t have one of those. 33: What book are you currently reading? I haven’t picked up anything since finishing my last book yet. No, that’s a lie. I started reading The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins, but I decided I wasn’t in the mood yet so I put it down. 34: Who do you miss right now? I guess I don’t really miss anyone right now. I just got home from spending two weeks with my family, so... 35: What is on your mouse pad? My desktop mouse pad is an old Air Force one with an airplane cockpit and sunset colors. 36: What is the last TV program you watched? Well I just watched episode two of Legend of the Blue Sea, which is a Korean show about a mermaid.  37: What is the best sound? A fast car or a really big, deep drumbeat.  38: Rolling Stones or The Beatles? Neither. Not really my kind of music. I guess The Beatles, since I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song by Rolling Stones, but I have The Beatles. 39: What is the furthest you have ever traveled? South Korea, which is across an ocean, so pretty far. 40: Do you have a special talent? I have a talent for remembering things visually. Not quite ‘photographic memory’ level, but close, thought not for everything. So I’ll randomly surprise people by remembering something no one else can, because I can picture the page it was on or something. Not really the kind of talent I can show off. 41: Where were you born? California.
Alright, I forgot to tag people on the last one I did, but for this one I’m going to tag... @gooseandcaboose, @bookssentials, @bookish-soliloquies, @caffeinewitchcraft, and @danosaurgoesrawr. No pressure to do this. :)

august: week four
21: i woke up at 8:30 am and then did 30 minutes of hiit and it killed me LOL. my body felt up for it though and there was a bunch of sweating. i showered and then ate breakfast and woke kevin up. we both wfh’d today because we wanted to see the eclipse together :) plus, dave would be out until wednesday. i ordered my nike free tr7s from zappos and then i did some internet errands and started to go over some training stuff for tomorrow. x_x; it was a really chill day because everyone was too preoccupied with the solar eclipse haha. i got off a really short stand up and then kevin and i brought our leftovers outside to eat. we had the lobster and garlic bread for lunch outside in the courtyard while watching the eclipse. it was nice :) then we cleaned up and went back in. i think i was mainly distracted when i got back. i started feeling pretty crappy in the stomach area and i felt nauseous after a while too. ugh, these period symptoms got me going crazy this week. i laid down for a while and did my best to get through a call that phil led, which wasn’t too bad. then i did some window shopping on reformation clothing’s website and kevin helped me decide against buying a new dress LOL.
i had to try on my dress with my heels to restrain myself from buying another dress. when i felt a bit better, i worked out my legs and kevin went to cook. i showered and then watched agents of shield while kevin did his thang in the kitchen. he made taiwanese beef noodle soup because i have been craving it and i needed some tender lovin’ from soups for my stomach. i ate a lot today tbh, but i think i worked out enough to balance out the calories. i didn’t feel like i overate though? lol. idk. we watched more agents of shield and then i got a really bad tension headache. i laid there while watching another episode before calling it quits and brushing my teeth and washing the dishes. i hopped into bed and just ko’d because my head really hurt. i went to sleep at around 12:30 am.
22: i woke up at 8 am and just went on instagram to get to the eggie clothing launch. i was upset to find out that the one shirt i really wanted was sold out of smalls already :( so i decided not to get anything. lol this choice haunted me for the rest of the morning and afternoon T_T i should have gotten an xsmall. anyway, i spent 20 minutes on that in the morning and then did a low impact workout so i don’t kill my body from doing too many hiit workouts. then i showered, ate breakfast, and kevin left for work and then i hopped on the first call of the day. it was just me and a client and it went really well. she was super understanding! then i did some emailing and more regretting LOL. ugh, i need that black blazer and eggie tee and the try again tee in blush -- i guess i have to wait now. i also made another uniqlo order because the jeans i wanted were on sale and i tossed in 2 mock neck ribbed crops tops in there for only $3.80 each ;D lol sigh.
my second meeting of the day was rescheduled for tomorrow so i took this time to reassess my work stuff and do some internet errands. i watched agents of shield while working and then hopped on the third call of the day and right after, went on stand up that lasted an hour... haha... i continued watching agents of shield and then did a 40 minute back / arm workout. i showered and then chilled for the rest of the evening. it’s nice getting things done early. kevin came back from climbing, i washed the dishes, and he made dan dan noodles. we watched more agents of shield and then he went to game and i watched another episode. lol, i feel like i can’t trust anyone in that show anymore T_T i called it a night at 11 pm. i brushed my teeth and ko’d in bed at around 11:30 am. zzzz.
23: i woke up pretty energized but i checked my phone and happened to check my chase account and i got charged a service fee -__-” so i had to deal with that later on in the morning. first thing’s first though -- i did a kickboxing workout, showered, and ate breakfast. then i hopped on the train and the man sitting next to me reeked of smoke and body odor T____T it was the most unpleasant train ride to work that i’ve ever experienced... i got to work at around 9:30 am and then went into a telephone booth to figure out this darn chase thing. the customer representative was not helpful at all so i sent chase a secure message asking for a first time fee waiver. then i talked to dave about the eclipse and started prepping for my prep call with phil, ahha. my call went really well. we got a lot of work done and i feel more confident of doing training on my own now. well, we only got through one section of it but we’ll schedule more time later.
it was a very quiet day but i bumped into cait in the kitchen and talked with her for a bit. joe came in the afternoon and we talked for a bit. we got on stand up and after that, i finished my work (had to erase some templates to make more space) and then packed up and walked to kevin. we met on the bridge and walked to south station and went home. we had a small argument about accessing saving account money with atm cards and/or debit cards. i got mad because i hate it when he’s right because he thinks he’s right all the time. -__-” we both turned out to be right and kevin kept teasing me which made me even angrier. so we talked about it when we got home and then i took like an hour nap in the bed with kevin while he read and/or gamed. then he went for a run and i did my oblique workout. i showered first and then chilled for the rest of the day. kevin made eggs and chives and this new green bean recipe for dinner. we watched agents of shield and then kevin went to game and i watched a bit more before going to sleep. zzzz. it was nice coming home early and just cuddling with kevin (:
24: this was the first time in a while where i turned off my alarm and ko’d right away. luckily, i only woke up 15 minutes later and then i got up and did my low-impact workout for the morning. i took my time getting to work resulting in me getting there later than usual, but i let dave know and i skyped him on the train to ask for more work to do. i started working on a journey map and creating a few icons :) i changed into glasses again today to gauge how comfortable my eyes are with the computer again and wearing them constantly. my prescription is high so i’m still getting used to it. dave had to step out for a bit and then i bumped into a bug that byron had to fix himself so i tried walking to uniqlo with my glasses during this “break” but walked back because my eyes felt really tired and it was too bright outside with too many moving people.... oh, also i felt bad for using about an hour’s worth of work time to walk there while dave was dealing with something.
so i walked back and then worked on the map some more. byron fixed it fairly quickly! dave got back before 4 pm so it’s a good thing i didn’t leave for long. my eyes felt tired so i took my glasses off for a bit and rested them. i’ll walk to uniqlo after work and take my time; kevin won’t be back until 8 pm because he’s climbing today so i’ll have enough time to get my stuff, go back home, exercise, and get the chicken thighs in the oven. ;D there was only one hour left of work and i just had questions for dave so i did internet errands while dave finished a call. i talked with dave, made some changes, and then i was basically done for the day. i walked over to faneuil hall by memory and without my gps because my phone was at like 10% when i left the office. i picked up my order and tried on the items in the changing room. i took a while because i needed opinions on whether to keep the two shirts i got as well as the boyfriend slim fit jeans i got from uniqlo. i got two ‘yes’es from michelle and vivian so then i walked to downtown crossing and commuted home. i got back at like 6:40 pm.
i got my shipping box for my macbook pro trade-in as well as my new nike free tr 7s; tbh, i was kind of underwhelmed. :( i think it’s because there were too many color ways that were pretty nice but none that i loved. i went with the black / lava glow / anthracite color way, which i think is the nicest one that isn’t too girly. anyway, i was a bit rushed because i opened my packages, put my macbook in the box, tried on my shoes, ate a snack because i was pretty hungry, seasoned and put the chicken thighs into the oven, washed rice (and apparently forgot to hit cook Dx), put away and washed the dishes, and clean up all the boxes we have in the apartment. we have a ton of boxes in our apartment right now and we haven’t even begun moving LOL.
well, i managed that and then kevin got back home from climbing, showered, and i went straight into doing a free weight butt workout, which i love! it burns so good lolol. then i showered while the rice actually cooked and kevin and i ate dinner while watching agents of shield. he went to game and i continued watching. i stayed up until 1 am for some reason -- it felt like a weekend. i ended up going to bed at the same time as kevin, which happens rarely. :P he wants to do other things instead of just watching tv together so we’re gonna brainstorm what we can do. i think it’d be fun to game with each other, but also scary territory because most of the time, i’m a sore loser @_@; we’ll see!
25: it was a nice day to wfh. i woke up pretty sore so i just did some hip hop cardio in the morning. then i ate breakfast and showered. kevin left for work and i did some errands. i re-ordered my new nikes in a 7.5 because the 7s seem a bit too tight. then i started making wireframes for a new feature in ux360 while watching agents of shield! i finished the second season and the next one seems a bit weird... i got on a client call with dave and phil and then worked some more before stand up. i am very happy with my prototype right now and i spent more time adding in more functionality to it in axure (: ahhh, so much fun! after work, i ate a scallion bun as a snack and some chips while watching youtube videos. hm, i think what’s plaguing my mind right now is when eggie is going to restock the items i want LOL. i think i am in a fashion phase right now @_@; i did my workout, kevin got back home, and then we played a trivia game together. then i went to shower while kevin made dinner. we had a really late dinner because we played that game...lol oops. we didn’t watch anything while eating because we were starving. then kevin went on a run and i watched an episode of shield on my ipad before going to sleep... it was a nice start to the week. 
26: i woke up at 10 am and just took it easy this morning. kevin and i looked for coop games on steam and i did some internet errands. i ended up watching the rest of the digimon tri series that i forgot to watch. there’s still part 5 that’s not out yet, but now i’m excited. kevin gamed and then we meal planned and went grocery shopping. we stopped at kam man and bj’s and also got my car washed :) lol we’re still noobs at going to car washes. we got back home and then put everything away and started going through the games that kevin bought on steam. we played a lot of overcooked -- we both really liked it. then we started cooking dinner. kevin cooked the ribeye on the cast iron skillet and i made garlic mashed potatoes :) we ate dinner while watching agents of shield and then after digesting, i did my 45 minute workout. kevin tried getting me to play portal knights at like 12 am after he showered but i was so tired and i got grumpy because the set up took so long. i was tired and ko’d before 2 am. x__x; it was a pretty productive day though, and kevin’s idea of playing coop games together seems like it’s going well.
27: i woke up earlier than kevin again to clean the kitchen and bathroom. kevin did wake up earlier today though. we ate breakfast and after i put the fleece blankets in the wash, we went straight to gaming. we started playing the other coop games that kevin purchased yesterday. we gave portal knights another chance but it was meh. out of the ones that we played, we really liked ibb & obb and battleblock theater from this batch. then we went to get our thai massage! the massage was just ok today because a different person massaged me and she was either too gentle or too hard. i did get walked on though :O afterward, i started washing our clothes and then we ate lunch outside. then we continued to play games. i legit started crying while laughing while playing ibb & obb. i’m really bad at jumping but it was so funny. kevin asked what was wrong with me LOL. we stopped gaming at around 6 or 7 pm and kevin cooked off the last piece of steak while i did a 60 minute kickboxing routine. he ate while i worked out and then i went to shower and ate while watching agents of shield. kevin washed the dishes and then watched with me for a bit. i folded the clothes and stuff and then we continued gaming. we ended the night playing overcooked and battleblock theater until 11:30 pm. i went to sleep at like 12:30 am or something because i was still really excited about all the games we played together <3 hehe, it was a good idea to do this. it was a great weekend :)
