Fat FAQs

I’m thinking about putting up a FAQ page on this blog and have brainstormed a list of questions already.  But I wanted your opinions as well.  What questions would you like me to answer?
Questions will be collected at the end of the week through this site, thillythenny.tumblr.com and twitters.com/janyxu.  I’ll post the answers at the beginning [...]

Sometimes I wish I didn’t…

I saw this on PostSecret and for whatever reason, I feel like I can so relate.   I wish that I never met you because what you’ve taught me isn’t worth the trust I’ve lost in people.

UPDATED: In case I wan’st clear, I have never been married and am not the person that sent in this [...]

Vogue and Triglycerides

Has anyone seen the April edition of Vogue?  They seem to have a brand new outlook.

Well I read an article in there about an Asian woman who struggled with dieting (or “minus” as she calls it) all her life.  It’s really refreshing to read about an Asian woman who isn’t 5’2” and 110lbs.  I love [...]

Scared

During my last trip to China (this time as a grown adult), I noticed the fear still present in the lives of everyday people.  A fear of the government and a solemn rememberance of Ti An Men Square.
I’m the first to admit that despite everything, I’m a true patriot to China.  My ancestry is there.  [...]

Sh*t I like

I haven’t done this in a looong while, but here are my favorite recent additions to things, designs and me want!s.
.

This is the type of tuperware I’d use for my imaginary pantry in my beautiful, clean and sleek imaginary house (with my edible imaginary husband and kids of course).
They’re called Oxo Pop Containers and go [...]

The onslaught continues

[Warning: This entry is gross.  No seriously.  Gross.]
 
.
First my left finger gets horribly infected.
Definition of horribly:  When pus flows from an infected region of the body, and as it heals, somebody slams it into the banister that she’s helping [redacted] paint.  Therefore, that region gets infected again.  At this point, the nail has fallen off.  [...]

Yes, and my social is…

I’m trying to sell some of my stuff from this past relationship.  There are too many mine fields already without having to keep some in my closet.  Well, I posted the items on Facebook, and some have expressed interest.  Here’s one of them.
Hello…
I am so much Interested in the Female Mortocycle Gear and i will [...]

Pretend

I can’t pretend that I don’t think about you day in and day out. Or that this feeling of pain doesn’t exist.  Maybe I don’t bring myself to actually think of what you might be doing, but memories float freely into my ether.
I can’t pretend that I don’t miss your voice.  Or your smile.  Or [...]

A vicarious spring break

After having a particularly strong coffee with Laura on Saturday night at Arik’s hockey game, I found myself perusing the Internets until about 5am Sunday morning.  So instead of doing dishes and finishing clean up, I woke up at 11 am, a mere 30 minutes before Emilie and Charlotte arrived from the airport.

I *heart* geeks and I’m not afraid to admit it!

I keep wanting to write about this topic but getting distracted by work!  hehehe, but ’tis true.  Will update later with actually something.
Update:
I’m talking computer geeks here, whether it’s social media, IT or hardcore programmer.  It’s so refreshing that they’re ridiculously smart, and you know they’re smart.  There seems to be a certain admiration I [...]
