Conversations with people who don't realize you know more about the subject than they do. On one hand, it's nice to know I'm not alone in my interests, particularly during the holidays. On the other, it's always kind of depressing to realize I'm still smarter.

Oh god, that sounds so arrogant...

Not the way you say it, Fea...

The way I'd say it would be more along the lines of:

Conversations with people who don't realize you know more about the subject than they do. On one hand, it's nice to know I'm not alone in my interests, particularly during the holidays. On the other, it's always kind of depressing to realise they can't keep up with me.

That, my dear, is arrogant.

Instant noodles. It's so damn easy to prepare, add hot water and you're done, very convenient if one wakes up late and has to rush her brunch. But then again, my conscience tells me it's not a very good idea to rely on instant noodles for two big meals.

Ha! I know that. But you see, if you have just a few more things (like one egg, a bit of cheese, a bit of cabbage or something like that...), you can without almost no more effort and time make a meal which could be called "semi-perfect".

During my life at the dormitory, all I ate was oats and instant noodles. I added veggies and all sorts of condiments to those, I even tried oyster sauce with oats (not recommended, it takes like hell), to make them more interesting. Oats with oyster sauce belongs to Isengard. Very interesting to make those, very hellish taste.

The parking lot I walk through on my way to campus everyday, which is covered in large sheets in ice (and has been since Wednesday). It's rather dangerous and I'm surprised no one has bother to de-ice it yet with so many cars and pedestrians passing through. Then again, it's kind of fun walking on ice because I like to live dangerously.
