Love.

SOMEONE WROTE ME A LOVE POEM TODAY.

I am not even kidding.

I mean, it was kind of unexpected, I guess... I'm not sure I'm really even good enough for the person. It's not every day that an amazing writer, an amazing smart person, someone that's good at everything... I suppose it's not easy to be loved.

I mean. I'm not used to being loved. It's kind of foreign to me. Romance, after all, has never been my strong suit- I've always been watching drama go by, not been in the centre of it, doomed to play a member of the supporting cast for as long as I lived. And I supposed that might have been a good thing?

But no. I'll post the poem now. For all of you to contemplate...

Thank you my newest affair,

RACHEL FONG YEE HSIEN.

how do i think thee awesome ?
let me count the ways?
the way you tell me my hair looks like a pile of hay
the way you make me run out of words to say
and that's because you hold me shocked, most of the time
oh sweet lime
is what i would call you dear
except that i fear
uve already been taken by orange
and a fact thats strange
but i must confess
at the end of the day
its the way you make me say
'I'm awesome!'
that makes me think thee awesome
may our days together always be this troublesome

P.S: How many of you thought it was seriously from a guy?

Explaining Crossplay to Dummies for Dummies

Last night, my cousin had a dinner at his house, in which he invited his debater friends to come over and eat pizza and Chinese noodles... Only we had to sit at the table for hours at a time, the courses came out one by one, and by the end of it I was just dying to go on the internet and wall-spam someone or other on Facebook. It wasn't that the people were boring, really.

After all, the dinner did spawn one gem. My aunt mentioned that I was going to CosFest in a futile attempt to include me in the conversation- for those of you that don't know, when I'm with a group of people that all know each other, I'm very quiet if I don't know at least two or three of them. This is the most talking I did throughout the entire dinner. Hard to believe, I know, but:

TOPIC: WHAT IS CROSSPLAY?

Ben: So what's crossplay?
Me: Oh! That's when a girl dresses up as a guy character and when a guy dresses up as a girl character. Basically it looks a lot better most of the time when girls do it because guys tend to look funny in girl outfits, and a lot of anime guys are kinda pretty so yeah. Anyway can you imagine someone like RJ in a skirt? I don't want t-
-Everyone is staring at me in a funny funny manner-
Ben: 0_o IS THAT WHAT CROSSPLAY IS?
Me: :D :D YEAH. Haha. It's kind of weird but common, and-
Ms. C: ... You sure?
Me: He asked about crossplay! So anyway-

At which point, Ms. C is like, "He was talking about COSPLAY."

And I commit mental harakiri.

EDIT: If a cosplayer -cough- LUO YI -cough- crossplays as General Cross, does that make her a Cross crossplayer? Or does that make her a crossplaying Cross?

EDIT 2: If Crossburn crossplays... What does that make him?
