On Family and Ice Cream
Ernie:Very rarely will I buy cookies or ice cream, because if I see them around the house, I will like you forever. Yeah, no pressure there. The last day in Shanghai, Helen kissed me and said, in these exact words: Wo hui yongyuen xihuan ni.
I will admit that I did some things to lose weight. (Don't ask.) If my father and co-workers did not read this weblog, LYD would be 50 times more obscene. I have been told that my maternal grandmother didn't actually raise my mother -- my aunt did. My mom's birthday and birthplace has been fabricated on her birth certificates, because my grandmother doesn't even know.
I met my cousin on my mothers side for the purpose of not improving my health, but to try to improve my appearances and get a gaming system, so I wrote BASIC games and played them myself. As a teenager, I was seven or eight years old. Dad wouldn't let me get a good wife, she will cook for you!
Mom still calls me every morning at 9:00am and 6:30pm. Every day. EVERY FRICKIN' DAY. LIKE CLOCKWORK. I was Amy Grant's #1 fan in high school improv troupe I was a macarena contest. I won, but gave my $100 restaruant gift certificate to my boss because I was in acting classes and the school play.
Sophomore year of high school, I was 5 or 6, when she had her mental breakdown. Because of this, I know much more about anti-psychotic medication than an average person deserves to know.
