korea + spam - jane = melancholy days

this morning, a south korean woman came to speak at our chapel. now, under normal circumstances, chapel is a major snore-a-thon, but today it was quite entertaining. first off, i couldn't really understand what this lady was saying because she had a "kor-english" (as she called it) accent. because she couldn't always get across her point, she felt the need to use exaggerated hand motions, actually it was more like full-blown BODY motion. one of my favorites was the dramatic "breath-in" motion where she sucked in air like she had just been underwater for at least 5 minutes, threw back her head, put her hands up to her chest, and then made a kind-of scary weezing sound. then she sat there all puffed up and proceeded to explain how we need to give AND take. maybe you had to be there. i'm not sure.

Also, jane left on wednesday around dusk. then, i proceeded to try and persuade myself that this was a good thing: 1. i would get more school work done 2. i would eat less 3. i would watch fewer movies and tv .... the list also included things like being able to play rap louder. however, none of these pros outweigh the one con- jane is gone. :( then, i got home and found the massive hoop earrings, save the last dance (p.s. the BEST movie ever), a picture frame and some pictures, and a puccino's chick (<- probably the coolest). yes, i am sad that jane is gone; it is weird; you don't have to ask me these questions.

also, i have found some pretty interesting spam e-mail messages. i have composed a small reflection/poem about some recent messages.
