Soothing Song
Every now and then, I find myself going on Youtube and playing one particular video: The Hobbit trailer. Despite my undying love for the Lord of The Rings series, it is this odd feeling from listening to the theme song that draws me in, every single time. Odd, in a nice way.
And I so very much appreciate it that the song is in English, and not in some made-up language (not that I oppose, it would...

Counter Opinion
Kim: "I don't care what people say about being stuck in an icebox. I'm loving it here in Europe. Winter is the best season for us who hate shaving our legs. I mean, you as someone who lives in the tropical country should understand what I'm saying. You and your love for wearing shorts."
Me: "No. Leg-shaving is the least of my concerns."
Kim: "Is that so?"
Me: "Yeah, people here are too busy checking out my bum to notice my leg hair."
Kim: "I think you're right."
Me: "You, on the other hand..."
Kim: "You're too smart and too lovely to even go there."
Me: "My thought exactly."

Estheresque Epiphany #5
Writing while listening to a sexy-voiced audiobook is the ultimate recipe for disaster. I ended up transcribing. Ugh.

You Know Who You Are
Dear Clotpole,
thanks for the dinner last night. I know I could have stayed but I chose not to, and I’m not sorry about it. And for your respecting my choice, I’ll be forever grateful.

Thiru, My Dear Long Lost Friend
Thiru: "Esther? How are you? Buried with Dickens somewhere? Wait, that was a decade ago."
Me: "Haha, how true! I do miss the days when I hid in my fort of books and you would always find me at the Dickens section. But since I'm still occasionally buried with books, guess my life hasn't improved very much, hahaha..."
Thiru: "So your way of spending money hasn't changed. Five more years, I'll be able to find you living in a refrigerator box in an alley."
Me: "And you'll still be that globe-hopper dearly missed by me. No, probably not you as a person, but the adventures, that is."
Thiru: "You mean mean girl! Oh, fuck this! Let's arrange something, we should go on a trip together again. Say yes, or I'll just have to drag you along with me, I'll bring some violent force if necessary."
Me: "Just what I need."
