People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown. - Palahniuk

Directional change #1

I've decided I don't want to write about everyday life anymore. It's dull. When it is not dull, it is depressing. When it is neither dull nor depressing, it is radiant and glorious and giving, and I am grateful in ways that I am incapable of describing; so I won't try.

Instead...

I'm going to write about things I've seen, places I've been, people I've met--those pinpoints of wonder and fascination as delicious as the chocolate chips in the chocolate chip cookie that is life (if life were a chocolate chip cookie).

So, coming up...

Strange and romantic happenings in Paris, July 2007
Flying to Vancouver to bus to Seattle to drive to Quincy to attend Sasquatch, May 2008
The escape to Portland, Oct 2008
Rockin' it as an expat in Taiwan, Dec 2008 - June 2009
Random adventures and non-adventures in San Francisco and Berkeley
People (friends, family, chance acquaintances)

Also, I'll be updating my tumblr more often now. :]

(Haha, what do you mean you found me?)

I'm in Fremont at the moment, then Berkeley for the rest of the summer. Nothing exciting, sadly.
