It worries me that the impending doom that is sure to come from my lack of revision for my final exams are not bothering me AT ALL.
3 weeks until I go back to the states.
2 weeks until London.
I should probably study hard until then.
I want to update with some of my thoughts, but my mind is blanking out right now.
Oh. I had to listen to the problems between the Taiwanese married couple in my house. Both of them talked to me about their issues and I had to offer both of them my input and advice, after probing their married life. They have this ongoing joke between them that they need my help because I'm the doctor of the house. They noticed that everyone talks to me about their problems randomly, so I must have some kind of essence that draws in people. Anyway. This was the first time I had to 'counsel' a married couple, and I learned that being a psychologist/marriage counsellor must be quite frustrating and dangerous. Frustrating because I wanted to say a lot of things to both of them, bluntly, but I had to hold back, because even though I thought some of the issues they had were trivial, I didn't want to think of my opinion as more important than theirs, because I had to empathize. It's their MARRIAGE. Also, it's dangerous because I realized that IT'S THEIR FUCKIN' MARRIAGE THAT THEY'RE TELLING ME ABOUT. What if I say something that they take into consideration, which fucks up their whole relationship steez (style)? Honestly, what do I know about marriage? I'm young, I'm not married and I'm not planning on marrying anytime soon. The only thing I could do was offer my sympathy and empathize with each of them, especially the husband, because that's what I'm good at. Whenever people need someone to listen, I happen to be there, so I end up listening and empathizing. I may not be good at it, but I try, even though I never ask for it.
So, yea. I can't disclose any personal info about their problems, but in my unprofessional opinion, I think they are fineeee. I do feel bad for Jet (husband) though, because Anita (wife) is quite __________.
In other news:
I tell people I got women figured out. Women test this, and then try to tell me I'm wrong. Then I point out another thing about women and they start to laugh, slowly walking away, knowing that I'm right. HA. iJoke. Sort of.
You ladies and your feelings.
Y'all are all beautiful though. Much love from me to you.

you ARE a sort of doctor. and people DO come to you b/c you have some sort of essence.
about a week ago, my friend from theory class approached me and shared really personal ish with me re: her marriage, too. i don't know her hubby's side of the story. but it was really, really hard to give advice for. in the end, i basically just told her (in a LOT of confusing words) that she's gotta communicate how she feels (she doesn't speak up too much). and that her hubby needs to change his ways too. i encouraged her to seek out a marriage counsellor (even recommended one that i just happen to know...he counseled my friends and i [not for marriage, of course, duh] in colorado about performance/anxiety issues and whatever other crap)...but she was reluctant to seek him out. she stuck w/ the ucla psychological help counselors instead, which i hope will help.
yeah. it's tough. i'm young and don't plan on getting married anytime soon, too, just like you...i felt so bad for her (and i guess her hubby too) but didn't know exactly what to say. =P
and there's that fear that i mighta caused her to do something radical too...except the next day, i found out that she finally spoe to her bro-in-law, which apparently actually helped (she hadn't been asking, since she assumed he wouldn't). i hope your friends work it out okay too.
haha, jason, you don't got women ALL figured out, but i have to admit...you got women figured out at least some part of the way, which is way better than most guys.
stay that way.
thanks for talking like ... like...all through the nights so much last week. i missed quite a bit of sleep (and you missed quite a chunk of your days ;) but it was...worth it.
can't wait for lon-lon. (London. i know, you're cracking up).
oh, sidenote: watched pirates 3 today. i actually liked it a lot. i even have to admit i got all romantci about elizabeth swann and will turner's love. it worked for me. the rest of it...was confusing, but for a third movie, NOT BAD. way better than spiderman. and Hans Zimmer, i gotta hand to once again (and Jerry Bruckheimer, too).
