Beggar, Day 6

I can't do this. I know this feeling, and it's not a good one, I don't want to do anything. I don't feel like eating or showering or even waking up. I just....ugh! Someone told me that perhaps it's just a time for me to rest and be quiet. I've had enough rest! I'm sick of the quiet!

I tried last night, I really did. I went out with some friends, and usually it's something I really enjoy, in fact, I used to look forward to it. Makeoli and all the crazy side dishes and yelling across the place is always a blast. But last night, my heart (yes, I have one of those) just wasn't in it. Rather than try and force myself to suck it up and play nice, I bailed halfway through the night (which is something I really hate doing). I'm just...off.

Typical makeoli side dishes. What you don't see are the numerous kettles of makeoli that you have to drink before you get all of this stuff...It comes out as you drink more. Drink more, eat more!

Another couple of friends gave me more food, They raided the convenience store for salty (and sweet) goodness. I'm a salt fiend...I've no problem with buying ramen and just eating the seasoning package (salty, spicy, fishy lovepowder). I gave up  salt for Lent one year. 12 am on Easter morning I popped a bag of popcorn and dumped it, just so I could lick the butter/salt on the inside of the bag.

Salty goodness. Thanks, guys!

It's come to my attention that I might have a bit of an...obsession...with food. I'm looking around my apartment and I see boxes of food from Taiwan. I didn't buy t-shirts or postcards or souvenirs. No. I bought ramen and snack cakes and soup. There are more pictures of food from the vacation than anything else. My RSS feeds are mostly food porn and food related humor. On the rare occasions that I dream, I dream about food. I talk about it constantly. When I send things home from my travels, a good 80+ percent of it is edible or food related.

I made myself get out of bed. I went to the gym and stopped halfway through my attempts. And of course lousy workouts piss me off even more than non-existent ones. So, yeah. Came back, had a wonderfully healthy meal of 라볶이 (ramen noodles and rice cakes in a spicy sauce) and cookies. My friends Jack Daniels, Captain Morgan and Hite are calling my name...too bad we can't hang out until after this week is over...stop taunting me!!!!! ㅋㅋㅋ
