i regrettably haven't posted in a while, Sorry. Most of my time recently has been spent either with Jin, searching for a job, taking photographs but not editing any, finishing my christmas gift to myself, watching shitty TV, keeping up to date on news(whether it be national, international, local, or celebrity gossip, i love it all), or playing Fear multiplayer online(mostly CTF(capture the flag)). Unfortunately, Jin left today to go back to South Korea :( Rachel, Mark you were both right, i was wrong, i am definitely very melancholy and saddened that Jin has gone back to Korea. i thought or hoped or hypothesized that i wouldn't be that upset or saddened that Jin was leaving because i thought it would make it easier that i knew it was coming and i knew our time together was finite. i was wrong. While in some ways it is easier because there is no painful breakup and our relationship didn't end because one or both of us didn't want to be together any more, but it is also subsequently harder because we would still be together if it weren't for her moving back to Korea. Everything was going very well and we were still having a great time together and a lot of fun.

We were surprisingly similar in many ways, most importantly, our silly sense of humor and sarcasm(in my last post Jin was the one who left the post " i am a long time reader of your blog but i hate your photos especially the confused rusty picture."), our creativity(thankfully she didn't mind that i take a lot of pictures and she actually enjoyed taking a lot of pictures as well), our randomness(i greatly enjoy random thoughts that come out of nowhere, i often have weird random thoughts that don't fit in to the current topic or situation and Jin does as well, and it is nice and refreshing to be able to share and hear these type of thoughts), and our spontaneity( she actually wasn't spontaneous before we met but about 95% of dates had no initial plan, i would pick her up and we would figure out what to do once we got together).

Today, i planned to edit and post some of the many pictures i have of Jin and the time we spent together, but it quickly became too sad and upsetting so i will do that some day soon. i also have another post that i am working on but haven't finished yet, i was trying to think of a different type of post(i didn't want to simply do another post of photos, and yes i still have many many more photos from Europe to go through, i still have Prague, Munich, Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Rome, Nice, and Paris to go through) and came up with an idea but had to do more research to finish it properly, you'll see. Andy, you work in Iola, WoW, small world, who do you work for there? As far as the photo thing don't worry about choosing just one, you don't need to limit your choices, and it's been too long, we should talk more efficiently soon, but i don't have your number, what is it?
