If you have questions about either, my AIM is "aelward." Be sure to say something other than "hey", because I'll assume its spam.
I'm too lazy to write anything creative, so I just cut and paste this survey:
Who I'd like to meet: Asian parents with toddlers, people interested in Asian American Empowerment, Open-minded martial artists, drunken Elvis Impersonators
YOu look fabulous! It appears in your writing that you have really found who you are and where you belong. What a hard thing to do in this world! Your children and wife are stunningly beautiful. Glad you added me, i wondered where the heck you were!
Hey John,
Thanks so much for having me over again! Tell Yuki and the girls Hi for me :) I'll have to come back soon so we can plan more secret attacks against Chris. I liked the cold plates, but I think we can get more creative with it. :D
Yeah yeah Buddhist thing. And yes, we are from Nanjing. We're not Buddhist either. We represent diversity!
Email as in myspace email or as in real email? I doooon't think myspace comments replace real email, haha. But it might. It doesn't for me. I've never thought of that, mais c'est une bonne question pour pondre (si pondre est vraiment une mot).
Well, I don't know much about traditional Chinese dancing, so I can't say for sure that it isn't.
Do you know what Tzi ji (I think that's what it's called) is? If not, it's this Chinese Red Cross-type organization, and we're supposed to perform a thing about pregnancy in DC for it for some presumably charitable reason.
No, it is for dance. We are fetus dancers. And now not only are we dancing fetuses, we are dancing fetuses in Ukrops because the stupid library had to relocate.
Anyhoo, have fun with Mr. Li! (I'm guessing you're going to his seminar and/or party today?)
Haha, dance class...yeah..."dance class." They dragged a bunch of us in there to act as a fetus. We basically wriggle under a red cloth, but you can call it a dance class if you like. What were you doing at the library?
Hey so I met you at...er...dang, I can never get these people straight. I'm going to go with...Donna's house? Or was it Connie's? I don't think it was Pat's. Wow this is terrible. Anyhow, I enjoyed your survey thing. ;P
yep... i done forgot all about that pool thing...
but i'll never forget the driving experiences.....
i think the have a term for it....
post traumatic stress disorder....
remember that time we were working on groundfighting techniques and i didn't tap out of the guillotine fast enough and you had to give me needles? yeahhh...
