Title: Lettow thread- Tea, romance, & etc.
Post by: Lettow77 on March 29, 2011, 11:01:38 PM
 Fasting ended today. It was very good to enjoy some chicken and dumplings. I missed some class due to sleepiness monday, but it was nothing severe.


  I may be going to the middle Tennessee anime convention as Finland, from Scandinavia & the World. Relevant parts of an IJA uniform won't arrive in time, so..

The charming chinaman girl and I continue to speak, and get on well, but she self-identifies as a yankee, to my distress. I need to work on creating a reactionary, but when she has so little reason or plausibility to buy into the "us" as opposed to them, it will not be easy. We seemingly have extremely little in common, and it does not help that the things we associate with the other we both have negative opinions of. Nothing except tolerance and friendliness has taken us this far.

I have drank prodigious amounts of tea lately. Almost out of Kousmichoff, but I still have plenty of my staple bog-standard Sencha.

I am thinking of seeking employment & an apartment in Memphis next semester.

 She's very easy to talk to, and pleasant.

I dislike lots of people who are ardent confederate supporters, play the same games I do, or whatever. Just being pleasant company is enough. She makes me smile, when I am not busy rolling my eyes at her desire to get a superman tattoo or her ill-advised love for awkward white boy rap.

Lettow isn't ugly, although he is certainly too short.

 Maybe so, maybe not. I am 5'5. The chinaman girl is notable in that she is shorter than I.

But, as you are a chinaman, nobody expects height from you. You have it lucky in this respect.

"chinaman"

China already had a civilization when your European ancestors were busy picking berries and running from wild predators.

The only reason for your neighborhood's current supremacy over China is that the North beat you up, and dragged your kicking and screaming ass into modernity.
Title: Re: Lettow thread- Tea, romance, & etc.
Post by: Lettow77 on March 30, 2011, 04:23:45 AM
 You mistake me. I have a respect for China's civilization. Elsewhere I have referred to the orient as one of the two pillars of civilization in the world, and China is the beating heart of the orient. China comforts me, because even if the west should fall, it will still be there.

China does not scare me as a threat to the west. That is not really in China's nature. The west is far more likely to threaten China; that sort of thing is in our nature.

Chinaman girl has no negative connotation, or at least none was meant. They are fine folks i'm sure. I sure do like mono.

I apologize if you took offense.

 Debating sleep. I incline against it; class in just about three hours.

To touch very briefly upon questions-

I have called her a chinaman girl. She found it odd and endearing. Generally speaking I don't address her by her ethnicity or her name either, but rather she is Miss.

I do not intend to drop out, of course. I have too high an opinion of scholarly pursuits and too low an opinion of dropouts to do so. Even at my worst in academics, i.e., the present, It is a matter of getting B's instead of A's because I can't be bothered to read assignments or go to class.

(Although, I expect a GPA above a 3.0 this semester.)


Edit: Thank you, languish collectively, for your kindness of late. I like languish. I like its people, even the ones I don't like.

I couldn't say there is anyone here I wish ill on.

Edit edit: I think I will sleep after all. I can get slightly less than three hours, and it seems appealing even if waking up will be hilarious.

Actually, a large number of people just put "American".



Lettow - I've had insomnia my whole life, and one thing I've noticed is that when I'm depressed, it's worse. Way worse. If you're regularly not sleeping, that's really bad. I wound up in the hospital with mononucleosis for a month because I was getting so little sleep my body was just giving up fighting it. It's bad mojo.

Sleep is good. I'd definitely advise cutting down on either the studying or the partying to make some room for it. (Course, when I was in college I did neither of those things.  :rolleyes:)

I have to admit that I don't really understand GPA ranges. I don't understand why the B ranges with the A ranges. Is it setup that way so as to blur the distinction between the two?*

*Looking online I've seen that there seems to be more than one thought about the conversion of letter grade percentages to GPA (e.g. for some 3.5 is an A-, some a B+).

I meant to specify the 4.0 GPA system but forgot. :blush:

My high school also had such a system as our GPA for an A in an AP class could go as high as 7.3.

Lettow never struck me as a troll. He's an easy target for me-too bullies, however, and I'm sure you're proud of the fact that you participate. Why don't you go to the pound and pick up a mangy puppy that you can torment. It will probably be far more satisfying.

Because he seemed quite upset about it. Prodding the beach rubble seems a bit callous.

Or simply unaware. For my part, I'm only dimly aware that they broke up so it seems a perfectly legitimate question.

Hm? No, it's fine to ask, and I don't see any need to infer malicious intent into the question

The missus and I broke up after five years. I had resolved to date her until eternity, marrying her when I could support her economically. To me, this became disassociated with how pleasant she was or wasn't. I'd promised, after all. So as she became more withdrawn into the internet and the subculture of some webcomic, I lamented it, and sometimes i'd talk about how things could be better, but for the most part I just tolerated it, and bristled at the comments from my roommate and hers, a couple themselves, about how much of a shut in she was, along with various other problems.

It seems one day I was drunk and rambled at her about problems. I broke up with her, in spite of my word, to my shame. When I sobered up I refused to apologize, because I felt my complaints had merit. I assumed she'd return on her own- she did not, and by the time I took a notion to apologize for my hasty actions, she was not interested. The notion that she ultimately wanted to be rid of me was jarring, and an enormous loss. We understood each other's thoughts and personalities extremely well. It was painful to lose her by degrees to her internet community, but when she was gone I suddenly felt like there was nobody I could talk to who knew me as she did, and worse, that my life was without any direction. My purpose had been the establishment of a family and supporting a wife. That's a strange thing I know, but I really admire domestic tranquility and always wished there was more of it in my childhood. I just felt very devastated.

There was no climatic event or horrible fight, I just complained to her one day, and she evidently very quietly stopped loving me. In truth she had become someone who irritated me more often than not, but that never mattered to me. I accepted it as a thing to be borne, or at least I did my very best to do so, and had no intentions of leaving her.

I had forgotten how unstable and unhappy I was outside of a relationship; languish may remember how troubled I was very early on before I met her. I assumed I could chalk that up to being 15 or so, but no, it is very much a problem I didn't really outgrow.  The idea there is nobody to come home to is pretty crushing. 

Onto other questions-

The highest grade in my college, at least, is a 4.0, suggesting all A's. 3.5 would be an even mix of hours, A and B. My GPA before this semester was something like 3.80, as I have mostly been taking history classes.

I do in fact support the independence of the Uighurs and Tibetans, as well as the cessation of inner Mongolia to Mongolia proper. I've even looked with interest at the history of dissent in South China, which seems to have a less collective culture. I don't know enough about it to go further.

I said I respected China, not that I liked it or its policies. It is a mighty civilization that contributes to the world. The same could be said of say, England, without inferring I don't support Scottish independence.


I miss my sling. I used to go out casting stones, but my cousin down in Mississippi has it. It accidentally got lumped in with some articles of my father's when he moved in very briefly down there. It took a lot of practice to have the degree of accuracy I achieved, and after over a year I bet it's faded.

Edit: So there's no consensus at all for what to call a young lady from China? Chinaman girl it is. Chinaman girl it always was, really.

If she were of Chinese descent, but either born in this country or immigrated here, you could call her Chinese-American.

Since she's of mixed ancestry, half Asian an half American, you should call her Amerasian.

You mistake me. I have a respect for China's civilization. Elsewhere I have referred to the orient as one of the two pillars of civilization in the world, and China is the beating heart of the orient. China comforts me, because even if the west should fall, it will still be there.

China does not scare me as a threat to the west. That is not really in China's nature. The west is far more likely to threaten China; that sort of thing is in our nature.

Chinaman girl has no negative connotation, or at least none was meant. They are fine folks i'm sure. I sure do like mono.

I apologize if you took offense.

 I suppose experience makes me agree with you. I have gradually shifted to putting less garnishings into tea, settling just for the tea itself, but chai certainly isn't pleasant without it.

On another tea related note, Genmaicha is the worst stuff going.

Don't do it.

 Miu, I am awake now. crashed earlier, slept for kersplunches of time.

Uh, the lady I met
I was mostly being creepy on the internet and amused myself in greeting her
her appearance was rather unpleasant. I suppose she might have a decent personality, but I was far too sleepy to make good communication. I should have graciously declined her invitation to meander out to the park and instead offered a rescheduling.

Really, being lonely all the time is pretty miserable, but in this tiny town I am a poor fit for most people, and unsure how to meet folks effectively. Crowds of people make me anxious anyhow.

  As for the chinaman girl, that is no longer a thing. There were disagreements- It is a shame as she was pleasant, but she was far too removed from what i'm used to for me to really accept it anyway.

Which is another thing- when I wasn't looking, I became a large prude. Most women offend my sensibilities. What ever happened to chaste women with no friends who sadly look out the window all day?

Rather, I had such a girl, whatever her other faults, and no longer do. I don't really know what I am doing in life, but loneliness is the worst part of it for sure.


On another issue, this latest tea I have is in bulk but it's not particularly amazing. "aoyanagi"- it was a gift and I am not an enormous fan. Still, it does bring some calm.
I kind of want a cookie. It's been a few days since i've had anything sweet.

Edit: As an aside, I think I will be staying at this college rather than going back to memphis. I am the darling of the history department here, and they lavished praise and awards on me to secure my staying when they heard I was considering leaving. My beloved roommate is going elsewhere though- his girlfriend and I are no longer enough to keep him here. I worry for their relationship, as she is loathe to follow him. I have counseled her to do so. They are both good friends of mine; if she takes my advice I will be completely alone here.

There is an anime convention coming up and uh

I have no idea what to wear.

 You know, I harbor an enormous affection for maid outfits. I think it is the height of fashion and delight- every woman should own one.

I cannot be vocal enough in my support of the attire, I really can't. Unfortunately, I am not sure I can justify wearing one myself.

Although, previous botched plans had me crossdressing as Akashi from Tatami Galaxy. Qualms with crossdressing botched that plan as they inevitably must here also.

 Lately, nothing I do except watch anime or play video games meets with success.

Everyone new I have met this year i've been revolted by or driven off with my inability to socialize. Was going to roleplay with some gentlemen, couldn't quite get up the gumption this evening.

Was going to see a play with an associate instead, but I got so gloomy I had to cancel- I couldn't enjoy anything in this state, and I'd drag down their evening.

Most everyone has a low opinion of me. I don't need to be told it's my fault- I know I have trouble functioning in society. But i've put in an effort and its exhausting.

I am also sad to see the state of the formerly-missus; she is quickly becoming a hikikomori, and much worse socially adjusted than even myself. She lives in an internet fantasy world and is moving back in with her mother, with unrealistic career prospects. I was happier back when she was an albatross around my neck- at least then I felt cared for (a convenient fiction!) and felt a sense of purpose in working towards someone else's welfare.

One of my few friends just recommended I start on medication, which is the last thing I wanted to hear.
