Thinking thoughts and Listing lists

Sorry guys for not posting more often. For a while, I was on a roll, but now, since I'm not sure which blog I want to continue on - based mostly on the accessibility in China thing - I've been testing out all my options over at the other blog:


eccentriciqi.onsugar.com


The truth is, I don't like it as much, it seems sterile, this one is more homey. It feels more mine. But... it won't feel as mine after I no longer have editing capacity for months at a time. The idea of having a word misspelling and not being able to correct it gnaws at my soul..


I'm leaving Taipei on the 4th and once I land in Beijing. I will make my final decision. For a while, I may just send links from the other blog to this one. 


Trust me, it's for the best. More pictures, polls, links, and possibly videos of me. I've been uber busy in Taiwan and I've bought very many things. I probably shouldn't equate the two, but if you know me... you'd know it's related.


Today, I cut my hair off.... and I did while video chatting multiple people - Greg, Flora, Grace. Hey! I also went to the Hello Kitty Sweets Sanrio authorized cafe here in Taipei. I don't know what I was thinking, thinking that I wouldn't buy anything in Taiwan while I was here. Sure I've overpacked by a ton, but now I have even more stuff!!


I miss hanging out with people my own age. Seeing Nick last week was a breath of fresh air and I might have acted like a complete insane person because I have not spoken much English to someone that I can see in a long time. I MISS YOU, AMERICAN FRIENDS.
