Within You Without You by The Beatles
"We were talking - about the space between us all and the people -
Who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion never glimpse the truth
Then it's far too late when they pass away.
We were talking - about the love we all could share
When we find it - to try our best to hold it there - with our love
With our love we could save the world - if they only knew
Try to realize it's all within yourself - no-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you.
We were talking - about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see - are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself
Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we are all one
And life flows on within you and without you."

For all you Voyeurs.
What do you look like right now?
A classy woman in silk pajamas.
Whens the last time someone told you they miss you?
Probably when I talked to my parents a couple weeks ago...
What were you doing last night at midnight?
I was sleeping. I sleep too much. This must stop.
Is anybody in love with you?
I'm pretty sure Rob is, but I think the amount of love varies depending on time of day...
I also have a disturbing suspicion that some Korean teachers are in love with me. It's terribly disconcerting.
Did you ever have one of those inflatable chairs or couches?
No, I imagine them to be sticky and uncomfortable. I'd much rather have a bean bag chair or hammock.
When is the next time you will kiss someone?
Who knows? when the mood hits.
Is there any emotion you're trying to avoid right now?
extreme depression ugh.
Last Movie you Watched?
I fell asleep watching "The Princess Bride". Hey, don't judge me, Rob downloaded it. LOL
Are you missing anyone?
Yes. Many people I left behind and people soon to be gone from here.
Did you get enough sleep last night?
Yes. Too much sleep.
Who was the last person you rode in a car with?
Rob. We meandered around south east side of Korea. It was great!
Do you believe in the saying "talk is cheap?"
Yes and "Actions Speak Volumes".
Are you looking forward to something as of right now?
Nine Inch Nails concert on the weekend.
Traveling around Southeast Asia and China, packing up and moving back to Canada.
How did your day go yesterday?
It was a day like any other. I went to work, did some lesson planning, surfed the net, read about the suffering of Moon Bears, the dog market, the boiling down of cats into a "herbal" tonic, and felt powerless and angry.
Do you miss the way things used to be?
Parts of the way things used to be, but it's never good to stay in one place your whole life. Both mentally and physically.
What's your mood right now?
conflicted, angry, powerless
What's something it seems like every other house has, but yours?
a kimchi fridge, a family, Korean people
What's your favorite Jolly Rancher flavor?
I haven't eaten a Jolly Rancher in years. I can't remember.
What brings out the worst in you?
Drinking too much and talking about sensitive issues, at the same time.
What song is currently stuck in your head?
amazingly i have no song stuck in my head.
Are you a private person?
I'm trying to be more open.
Would you like to see someone any time soon?
another vegetarian.
What's an important date coming up?
The day I choose to make the journey home
What do you say when you come home after a long trip?
"There's no place like home."
What brand toothpaste do you use?
"2080 original" it has advertisements for Korean universities on it. Rob gets them from his school all the time. I don't think we've ever bought toothpaste... or soap.
Have you ever passed out from heat exhaustion?
No, but I puked all night.
What kind of car do you drive, if you drive at all?
I don't drive, but i do have a bike. It's called a Lespo. I'm completely serious.
What do you think would be the most painful piercing to get?
I bet a genital one would kill, but also the bit between the nostrils (the bull ring).
Last person you played hide-and-seek with?
My nieces, Chloe and Ava.
How many more days till school starts?
I dunno, whenever they tell me that I will be teaching. Maybe next week. For the Students they never stop going to school. Vacation is non-existent here for Students.
When was the last time you went to Wal*Mart?
Mall Wart can kiss my ass. Who wants to shop at a place that supports child labor?
Do you need to do laundry?
Yes, but I don't want to. I think I'll just sit in my own filth for awhile.
How many windows are opened up on your computer?
eight
What are those windows?
blogger, plight of korean dogs (google search), International Aid for Korean Animals, Moonbears.org, some lesson plans for talking about moonbears with your students, and msn with rob
Who was the last person you texted?
Rebecca, a fellow teacher here, we went for supper together.
When was the last time you went swimming?
On the weekend I went to Heaundae Beach in Busan. I got the worst sunburn of my life.

NINE INCH NAILS CONCERT!!!!!!!!!

Nope.
Can you honestly say you're okay right now?
Not while there is suffering in the world.
What color are your pants?
Black Satin
What do you currently hear right now?
The generator from the grocery store, cars driving by, a man horking on the street, Korean language; "annyong haseyo". oh, the manager of our apartu is talking through the wall speaker, something about in two hours and now he's listing numbers. I dunno.
First person to text you today?
No one, I'm too old to be part of that lifestyle.
This time last year, can you remember who you were going out with?
Same guy I've been going out with for the past 10 years.
A classy woman in silk pajamas.
