Today, my house held a Chinese New Year potluck.  Compared to previous parties we held, this probably could be my favorite.  Mostly, because I love food.  Of course just like my farewell party, because I was so busy arranging things and appeasing Alex\\&#8217;s need of PUI, I didn\\&#8217;t get to eat that much myself.  But it\\&#8217;s ok!  I have always loved the fact that food can make anyone happy.  Just for a second.<\/p>\n<p>There was a moment in high school that I was incredibly upset about something.  All my friends attempted to cheer me up with sayings of this and that.  Suddenly my sister walked over with a plate of fries.  She noticed my despair and offered me a fry.  And suddenly the world was brighter again.<\/p>\n<p>I fattened up my <a href=\\\"http:\/\/dis.azn-bish.com\\\">photo album<\/a> again.  Earlier in the day, I practiced my four word Chinese New Year sayings to one of my friends originally from Hong Kong.  In surprise, he demanded, \\&#8221;Are you talking in Chinese that deliberately bad?\\&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Embarrassed, I could only respond, \\&#8221;No&#8230;uh&#8230;that\\&#8217;s how I normally speak.\\&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, I am still such a banana.  Yellow on the outside and white on the inside.  I mean I am a Twinkie.  Because I am also too disgustingly sweet (sometimes) and very bad for your health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Chinese New Year!
