After like a week of crazy weight gain today I just lose like, 2 kg for no reason whatsoever
So weird.

China- Guilin

In China right now and contrary to my previous vehemence that it will turn out thoroughly horrid, it is actually really fun. It's like my mother's hometown (shows that we ain't gonna stand shit shows that we are united) so she knows Guilin real well and there's all these shopping malls with cheap clothes of good quality. It's really expensive here, but not in my currency.
The only bad thing is that I'm too scared to eat anything outside of home cause of all the sewer oil thing. I don't doubt for a second that these restaurants will stoop to this to save money.
My sister and I have a running joke that like I'll die from like ice cream or something.
The other day I bought some strawberry ice cream despite my parent's protests and the guy selling it was young and stuff and my mother asked if he would eat it, and he said no! Plus this was a store in the university so I was like o.O. I ate half of it but threw the rest away cause it freaked me out too much. Two hours later I got a stomachache and like a worm dug out and I died.
Nah what am I saying o.O

Also I did that thingy where they give you the stencil and you colour it in then they bake it or something and you can stick it on the windows for only 10 yuan! And I did a mega big one so that was fun.

OMG I JUST GOT A HIT FROM STUMBLE UPON!
*hi5ing a thousand angels*

Okay to continue.
I also gained weight I think, because I've been eating noodles (carbs), not exercising, and also my grandmother makes great food. But then again I weighed myself while wearing shoes so maybe it's due to that.

Alright the top part was written a few days ago, and my feelings about China have changed. Everyone here is  freaking rude and uncouth, uncultured and disgusting. They spit everywhere and the minute I get home I have to wash my feet. Motorcycles just charge through in the middle of the pavement and they don't give a shit if they knock you down or not. In fact they'll probably run you over a few more times so you die and can't sue them. The bystanders would just xiu shou pang guan.

You know those things called pedestrian crossings where cars have to stop to let you pass? Well in China it means paint on roads. You have to wait for the cars to pass, run across a section, wait for a break in the traffic and then run again. They do not stop. Several times I've had a car like a  few inches away from me and had to run across because it STILL DIDN'T STOP.
Pissed off.
And I tried buying jammies from this roadside shop, and they lied and said everything was cotton. It was actually kind of funny because they stuck a label on the price tag that said 100% cotton but the pj itself already had a label that said 20% cotton, 50% nylon and like 30% polyester I think.
Whatever it was shit and when I came home and washed the clothes the colour ran. Like wtf.
Thank god I washed it in a basin first or it would really have sucked since most of my clothes are white pastel-y colours.
Also I guess it's sort of my fault for being cheap but hey a lot of the clothes costed me 20 yuan and that's expensive right?

I spend all day everyday at home in air-conditioned comfort because it's about 30 degrees out and the sun is crazy. I look Native American.

I spent the day with my mother, since my father and sister are happily in Perth where the water costs like 4 bucks a bottle.

I don't know why but everytime I spend more than two hours with my mother we get into a fight. We just fought just now.

I was talking to her today and she said that she actually likes me much more than my sister.
I think my sister hates my mother. Idk. She hates my aunt, so I guess my mother reminds her of my aunt.
I don't know.

My family's like. Un. Un nuclear???

you make me really happy

No masks, no disguises
Shrouded in fog and mist but temperature's hotter than dew point
Or whatever the weather unit has been long forgotten
No pretty words to dot my sentiments
Waxing lyrical about darkness and love and you and heartbreak
Take care out there in the world of sharks
Everyone's hungry and stupid and yet they still pay big bucks for plants to smoke that make them hungrier
I guess I'll find my place among the minnows and angelfish and the occasional clownfish
Maybe this shark in disguise can fit in
Or maybe
Maybe they'll all stare and gossip and think that I really should swim out of their cozy coral reef
But I don't know
I don't care
I'll miss you that's what I'm trying to say.
I'll be baking brownies for high tea. Strictly no sugar.
I'll be sleeping during a hockey match.
I'll see someone in the mall with gorgeous flaming, blonde hair and bam.

You'll flood my mind
We both know. The KITs and promises to meet fade away into a little corner of our minds, each not wanting to call for fear of awkwardness. So we promise ourselves tomorrow and summer floats by like a cloud that's pink and purple and pretty all over then high school starts and it gets worse so we never see each other again.

Maybe all contact diminishes except for the occasional happy birthday facebook post.
Someday like today I'll be stalking your fb page and reminiscing and you'll be the top dog, the shark that gets all the fishies and I'll just be the one that hides in coral holes.

It's a wonder that we became friends at all. You're the skater with wit and I'm the loner that never opened up.

I'll miss you and I really don't want this friendship to collapse but I don't wanna text you because it's expensive and will be awkward.

I'm glad I found you. Or you found me. I said hi first. But you smiled first.
8th grade is the best middle school year.
