Sto-rhie of My Life, 5-7-5 Style

There's definitely nothing like unheated kimchi boggeumbap at 1:30 am. Leftover from our first roomie dinner two nights ago at the new place. I had just gotten off the phone talking to my friend for an hour and a half, and I was hungry from having skipped out on dinner.

We somehow always lose track of time.

Our phone call started as I drove up the 101 back home to SF. The firedrill at work kept a couple of us at the office past 11 pm; I had to cancel my movie date with her, not to mention cancel my scheduled appointment to meet a Craigslister who is selling me his Canon EF 50 mm 1.4f. His name is _ _ _ _face, and I totally butchered his name thinking I was cool, pronouncing it "fah-cheh" when it really is just "face" (as in "your face is ugly").

On a good note, I got this morning off and had high hopes of running through GGP or sitting in a cafe and enjoying people watching before heading to work, but instead, I decided to unpack some boxes, sneak in 10 pages of my book, and finish up on belated haiku (both singular and plural) that I started last week:

haiku introduction
not artsy enough
to write profound poetry
i’ll try anyway

~*~*~*~

about me
accused of being
a “you’re just too nice” ice queen
i have opinions

my outlook on life
nothing to lose by
loving life as intended
give it all you’ve got

friendship
the friends worth keeping
never doubt my intentions
laugh at my bad jokes :)

5 w’s
who what where when why
ignoring punctuation
like oxford commas

things i’m bad at
posting up pictures
my BC calculus class
cardio workouts

she-car-go (Chicago)
high on LSD*
french stroking it in the car
missing girls night out
*Lake Shore Drive, duh

sf
up and down the hills
land of priuses galore
thought to be Chinese

sf restaurants
tacos from mission
at least four stars, yelp dot com
late night anywhere

remaining summer plans
play in the bay, yay
alaska with capuchas
tear it up, vegas

alaska
no sarah palin
yes! to seeing Creation
beauty at it’s best

~*~*~*~

haiku conclusion
no common theme, flow
but that’s how i roll, you know
to bed i must, go

[ edit, more like to lunch i must eat ]
