MSG makes me sleepy, makes me dizzy, and makes me bloated.

“Grace must wound before it heals.” -Flannery O'Connor.

I wish blogger offered the option of inserting smiley faces like xanga or aim. Sometimes, they're just the bit more expressive =] you need.




The movie. [insert aim toothy grin]


"The lesson that Nanny McPhee teaches the children, is that love is the thing that really matters, love is the thread that binds us, love is what makes the world go round." -E. Thompson.

The Brits. [insert xanga happy smile in heart]

My friends are thinking about retirement plans, 1099s, IRAs, mortgages, purchasing homes, purchasing cars for their parents, worrying about taxes, and I, I think about what I should eat for lunch today or what book I should read.



This is life.

It feels wrong to be considered as one of two of your friend's "smart" friends. I couldn't disagree more.



I can't wait to have babies and just sit and watch them all day long.

Cousins.



Babies.

"I'm impossible to forget, but I'm hard to remember."

Happy 2006!

Tuxie ran away today and has now been missing for over 4 hours. Obstinate, freakin smart cat. I hope he comes back soon. =/

Christmas, the Kum family style involves lots of beer and wine, lots of gossiping, lots of money counting, lots of taking pictures of the babies, and lots of listening to Gina talk.

Not being the first ones to leave. Talking with John and Julia about relationships and love. Dirty family history.

"We wish your Merry Christmas, we wish your Merry Christmas, we wish your Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!"

And so marks the end of my stint with 새벽기도.

A new post-college record: 7 hours and 5 minutes exactly.

Goodness.

Really, there should be something called limits even amongst our friends. There's no such thing as secrets or discretion anymore.

Happy Birthday, 엄마!

Thanks friends for the encouragement, letters, emails, prayers, and thoughts. It's nice to know there are people who care. =]

Carolina's Brazilian BBQ.

A late arrival as usual. Damn awkwardness at seeing five different classes represented with us being the oldest. Gooooood food. Pão de queijo reunited. Unbelievably startling news. What.The.Hell. J. Whang's comment about me being less of a squealer and more mature, thus leading to my stamping of feet and resorting to little kid tendencies. D. Chon. Board games. Being called an older version of Jung. Once upon a time someone said Wonnie and I were similar too.

"There is a time for everything,
And a season for every activity under heaven:

A time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

A time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

A time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

A time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

A time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

A time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace."

-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Happy 22nd Birthday, Susan Kum!

It's as if I'm pregnant in my third trimester, with the expected delivery date being December 3rd, 2005 .
