The Journey Is More Important Than The Beginning Or The End.

Ce Suo Zai Na Er!?
Listening to: Dave snoring.

Wow, what a day. I woke up still sore from the dance club the other night.

Once up though, I got ready for the day and walked down to the coffee shop with Dave. We sat and had coffee until Yunyu called me.

I made the walk back up past my house and like another 20 minutes to East Town. When I got to her place, Wong, her friend let me in and we went upstairs to Yunyu's apartment.

She was cooking when I arrived. She made a really... REALLY good chinese meal for me. Awww, she is such a doll. Even though she can't have spicey food, she knew I loved it. She spiced up the dishes and eventually we had dinner. Dave showed up just as dinner was starting so he ate with us three.

Wong and Yunyu both kept speaking in Chinese, so Dave and I spoke in pig-latin which drove her insane. She kept "lobster pinching" me in the sides because she knew we were making fun of her. LOL.

Sadly the comic store was closed when I got around to it. Thursday her and I may go and check it out. Wait... shit... I have to work Thursday. Damn, I may have to postpone it until next week.

Dave walked back into Grand Rapids from there to meet Leana for coffee. Yunyu and I headed back to her place and I studied Chinese for about 2 hours. Wong and Yunyu kept laughing at my attempts. Just because you say one thing in Chinese, it can have an entirely different meaning with the tone you use. I said "Where are the toilets" and Wong keeled over laughing stating that if I had said that in China I would have gotten my ass kicked. I asked why and he said "Because you just said 'YOU ARE A FEMALE TOILET!' The tone you used was the wrong one.

Wong eventually left and Yunyu wanted to show me all her clothes, dresses, shoes, etc etc. She loves my style and wants to go shopping with me. ^_^ She is so simple to make happy. She is an adult... older than me, yet, she is so pure and happy.

Afterwards, we layed on her bed and talked for an hour. We talked about our past some more. She has led such a sad sounding life in China, I am surprised she is such an angel. Heh... that reminds me of a post Molly once typed about me three years ago. So much for her angel now...

Laying there talking to her, I was happy and really torn up at the same time. I think she knew why though. It's funny how we can understand each other like reading a book, even when there is a slight language barrier.

She told me tonight my sense of smell is amazing. I pick up things that not everyone can sense. Laying on the floor drawing, she was cooking and opened the fridge behind me. I perked up my head and said "I smell Strawberries..." and than started sniffing the carpet. She laughed and said she picked up strawberries for desert. She was amazed by this. I also picked out pork, butter, eggs, pepper, and sour kraut (cabbage) while she was cooking. This thrilled her and said I must have a love for food. I laughed and told her "No, food loves me" as I patted my stomach.

Before I left tonight, she was cooking (again). I was sitting in the living room writing my book when she walked back in and asked if I wanted a snack. I sniffed the air, told her I smelled corn bread and her eyes went wide saying "YES YES!" I think she likes the fact I know my food. LOL.

When I got home, she called me (like 40 minutes later). She said she was in bed and was worried if I made it home ok. That made me smile. Simple caring gestures like that is what I realize I am looking for in a girl.

I just wish... meh.

In less than 24 hours I will be 21. TWENTY ONE!!! My Mom and Dad were this age when I was born. I just seriously hope this birthday is good. This is the birthday of everyones life. The official adult day. The day you can legally embibe alcohol. I remember when I was turning 18... where has this last 3 years gone?

Yunyu and Danielle are taking me to my favorite Irish Pub Tuesday afternoon. *sigh* Two souls I would love to be with, but for certain reasons, can't. Curse you God of bad luck.

I hope Yunyu and I figure something out. I don't like feeling like someone is just out of reach. It annoys me. Especially of late. I really like this girl.

I guess I will end this here for now. Need sleep for the day ahead of me (work and cleaning apartment).
