This is quite bad. I think my jetlag is getting worse the longer I'm in the US. I refuse to drink anything but ice tea (and might I add American ice tea is crap). My body is screaming to go back to Taiwan.
Lately I get really tired between 12 noon~2 pm, which is when I usually sleep in Taiwan. And right now it's 1 pm in Taiwan right now, which is when I should be wide awake. I'm also starving right now because I should be eating lunch. Anyway, so I basically can't sleep right now. Thought I'd blog some I guess.
Mr. Darcy, of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, once said that his greatest flaw was that his good opinion once lost is lost forever.
I was thinking and I find myself to have a similar flaw. Not that I'm anywhere close to being Mr. Darcy, I just realized that once I lose my respect for someone it's basically lost forever unless they truly are exceptional and somehow earn it back. But until they do, no matter how much I still want to be friends with them, it's really hard for me to respect them and look at them in the same light that I used to. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Obviously Darcy had no qualms about this. But he's Darcy and thus a g.
Losing my respect for someone is like the last straw. It's especially rough if it's someone I used to know or be closer to, because it creates a huge gulf that no matter how much I want to bridge I can't.
And I don't wanna make myself sound like a picky person. This actually happens quite rarely. I can count on one hand (with plenty of fingers to spare) how many times this has happened. I like to think I do it with reason.
Yeah anyway. Just late night ramblings.
Ugh. Hope I get to sleep soon. Busy day tomorrow with brunch date and July 4th bbq's.
Last July 4th I had to go to work because I was interning in Taiwan. Granted it's nice to have a good ole American bbq, because I did legitimately miss that, I'd really much rather be in Taiwan having to work on the 4th rather than here with a summer holiday but feeling oddly incomplete and out of place.
