typical Chinese New Year's day for me - went to my ex-granny's, eye candy in my female cousins, shot the bull with my male cousins, pork jerky (if a bit oily), fave chicken meatballs made by my aunt, lotsa angpows (red packets filled with cash), played with my cousin's Pomeranian

Yeah that was going to be my next question what is the normal rituals/traditions for Chinese New Year but you pretty much answered it in this little statement.

lotsa gambling and drinking as well

i never acquired the taste of gambling and pilsner/lager

i'm strictly a sake/bitterman

Bitterman is the same thing as sake?

Tetley's Bitter Man - it's a British thing, oh nvm.....

bitter is something like a cross between stout and lager

after tweeting a positive review of a new book, the author replied and said thanks. That he's the head of the Harvard philosophy dept. does make it slightly cooler. That he found me without hash-tagging him makes me ****ing AWE-SEM!!!!!!!! \m/

Today was pretty sweet and weird at the same time. School was nice and after school I went to get some coffee with my friends. Later I met them in this nice bar that we always go to. We met a girl that was also studying finnish sign language. We talked with her for a while which was nice.
The girl from my class that I have a crush on was there like always. The weird thing that happened was that the others started to tease us and I heard that they are all speculating that we'll end up together and think we would be great together. Needless to say I felt little awkward but it was pretty nice at the same time. After I went home I started talking with the girl on facebook and we talked for over an hour. I don't know what to do with this girl since I think she has some feelings towards me also but I'm not quite sure and I don't want to go mess things up. There's just something really great about her. She's nothing like the girls I've met before and we get along really great. Maybe I'll wait and see for awhile longer before doing anything stupid. This was a really nice day I must say :)
