was that a toll free number?
or was it those kinds of numbers with a old lady with a sweet voice answering your call?

I ordered Wicked.
they gave me a musical sing-a-long

I looked at the cover mornfully for the longest time. so close yet so far away
Why is this god damn book so hard to find here in Taiwan?

everytime I go to a bookstore or something and ask, the lady looks up from the computer and "sorry we're all sold out"
then she looks to her right with a look that says
next


I couldn't help myself
It's hard not to use someome's love isn't it

I breathe deep into my clothes and with for a musky warm smell. All I can smell is all the fumes and oils that penetrated my dark purple dress.

you can watch these videos while you wait
or call 805 300 7746
one is expensive and possibly not very helpful
the other one kills time and costs nothing
waiting for your call
i'm angry call
i'm sick call
i'm desperate for a voice call
callcallcallcall

desperate for a voice

a voice

I miss Tainan. I miss sweet things.
Taipei is where they make the weather wet and weary
food that costs crazy and tastes weird
and the people

I don't even know how to discribe the people

My roomie, lets talk about her then

one of my roomies at least

she's from Taipei

She crowds in the bathroom with her taipei friends and talks loudly about how wonderful taipei is.

Quote:
Taipei doesn't really have much, but everything comes here. And our Danshi, nowhere in Taiwan can beat Danshi

isn't that sweet?
it's the only thing sweet in Taipei I guess
good god

im always getting caught writing protest letters while
faking the consumption of animal crackers
taiwan...are you my looking glass?

whats next?

i can see the news, I would be in a dingy restaurant
eating noodles buried in chili peppers, seawead, and brown eggs
coated in sweet brown sauce, because it would be in tainan
where they sweeten everything...
i can see myself looking up at the television,
to avoid eye contact
to do something
and I would be watching TTV
because this is tainan
because everything I eat is sweet
and I could see the president
over and over
consuming crackers
I could see the reporter camera man zoom in
they would use a red pen
and circle the cracker in his hand
we would all be eating

I love the president!
He's absolutely fabulous.

He told the reporters that all of this was just some sort of political set-up. Then, he told everybody he was gonna stop eating to protest.

Somebody caught him eating cookies while pretending to be writing a protest letter.

I wonder what's ma gonna turn out like!
