I guess our wave of activity has receded.

Until the next one, that is.

Obama seems rather popular on Chinese products. There's an OFC (Obama Fried Chicken) ripping off KFC:


And there's this backpack, which manages to combine Obama with Harry Potter and Sonic the Hedgehog:

Urgh. Your girlfriend went way out of line.

I only have a cell phone because it's cheaper than having a landline (I have a prepaid provider that works out to around $8 a month) and for the extremely rare instances when I feel a need to carry it with me (like when Anya came, so we could call each other if we got lost in the airport trying to find each other). Other than that it stays plugged in at home. I don't feel the need to be reachable literally 24/7/365 like I'm a doctor on call.

I'm not a huge fan of phones, really. I don't like how they can take away literally 100% of a person's attention at completely arbitrary times. Especially if I'm there trying to communicate with said person, or if they're doing something that requires a lot of attention such as driving. And I don't really want to hear half of your really loud pointless conversation when I'm trying to focus on something else.

I'm face-blind, which means I can't recognize faces or real facial expressions. It takes me a long time for me to recognize someone.

However, I remember names very easily.

pSX and VICE have ∞ possible savestates, since they allow them to be given file names Of course, you don't have one-key access, but that's fine for non-abusers like me~

I used to have a whole bunch of stuff in my bio at Jul. Now I'm too lazy and just have a couple lines here.

Classes and homework, mostly. Also any bad things that happen, like losing a friend (which happened way too much to me over the past year or two).

I've been too obsessed with FF7 (and, to a lesser extent, Lego and SMBX) to do much posting

I'm a math tutor at a community college.

If I can ever get into graduate school, I'd like to become a teacher.

I was briefly a library aide in middle school. Mostly I shelved books and put them in order.

I found it rather fun, actually

I had another of those "I'm an adult and I have to repeat elementary school" dreams. I hate those.

Time constrains and deadlines.

This.

In the real world, projects run behind schedule all the time.

In school, if you're one minute late with an assignment, some teachers will just fail you automatically.

Killed In Action?

I've been known to come up with some bizarre acronyms, like NJC (Non-Japan Country, using the pattern of NPC = Non-Player Character).

I have this weird sensation in my left ear, the kind I usually get during a cold or flu, although I have no other such symptoms.

I don't drink.

I tried various alcoholic stuff and thought it tasted terrible, and I have no desire to lose control over myself.

Smoking is gross. I try not to breathe when I pass by a smoker on the street. And the way so many of them toss their butts on the ground as if the city was a giant ashtray. Eww.
