I hadn’t seen them for eleven years and in my mind, it was longer than that. “Don’t you remember when your grandfather used to babysit you?” All I could do was nod politely as they showed me pictures of me as a child. In reality, I could only vaguely recall memories of my grandfather, who [...]

A lot of the time, my family drives me crazy. They nag, criticize, and tell me that I’m not eating enough (I am, by the way). But there are times when I feel extremely blessed to have my family members alive, well, and naggy. Now that I’ve gone off to college, it’s nice to come [...]

My mom called me this morning, asking very explicitly that I refrain from being a part of the UCLA demonstrations on campus against the UC tuition increase. I promised her that I’d try not to get beaten up or tased (but not much more). When I got to work this morning, one of the counselors [...]

My mom thinks that I have swine flu. Or at least she greatly suspects. I am secretly hoping in the back of my mind that I have inherited my sense of imagination from her. But I have been sick for the past week, since Sunday when I woke up with a fever. And basically couldn’t [...]

Yesterday, in a fit of stark raving madness inspiration, I decided to volunteer my sister for a haircut. Now the doubting sister (poor girl) made the mistake of asking my mother for her opinion and ended up (alas!) receiving blind encouragement. (This may be because I swept the floor in preparation for the arrival of [...]

I feel FAT and SWOLLEN. I feel TIRED, WOOZY, and DISORIENTED. But most of all, I AM HUNGRY. Last night, I slept at almost 2 AM thanks to Ling Ling’s advice. I woke up at the ungodly hour of 7:30 AM to go to the Wisdom Teef Man’s office, which wasn’t too far away from [...]

My mother just called to ask me what a t-string was. You tell me, ma, is what I wanted to say. So I told her that I had no idea what a t-string was, choosing to ignore that small YOUKNOWDAMNWELLWHATSHE’STALKINGABOUT in my head but then she said, “You know, that underwear you wear that only [...]
