我家的周末论坛

一到周末的傍晚,我们三口坐在沙发上开始侃大山,我抢先提出第一轮侃题,如果中国从地球上消失对当今世界意味着什么?

敦敦:中国是当今世界制造和加工厂,中国没了,世界上就少了很多玩具和小玩意。很多外国公司都在中国有工厂,中国没了,这些大企业也就死定了,搞不好全球将面临经济崩溃。

敦爹:世界丧失了一个古老文明的根基。中国文化没了根据地。人类少了聪明的中国人,很悲哀啊。

敦妈:东方巨人没了,美国和欧洲就没了真正的对手,发展也会放缓。西方单一的文化思维会使世界阴阳失衡。

我的天哪,照我家分析的结果,没了中国,世界经济崩溃,文明衰落,阴阳失调。那将是一幅多么可怕的景象啊!

轮到敦子出题了,论题比老妈有水准,城市化的最终结果是什么?

敦爹:城市化使城市过于拥挤,人们的生活质量会下降。

敦敦:城市化过了头,乡下的农地就没人种,将来人类赖以生存的物质来源就成大问题了。

敦妈:咱家小猫乐肥就是城市化的产物,乡下家具店老板有机会把分店开在了大上海的城隍庙,小猫乐肥的妈跟着家具店主家的老奶奶进了大上海,乐肥妈当年年轻貌美,很快就被来灯红酒绿的大染缸给腐蚀了,风流成性,男友如云,猫崽一窝窝连着生,小猫乐肥是典型的第二代'移猫',一出世就是有上海户口的城市猫,为了生存,住进了城里人家宽敞的楼房,吃的是美国进口的高级饼干,用的也是洋厕所(水晶猫砂),但不幸的是正常的社交生活被剥夺了,还时不时遭洗澡的洋罪,最惨的是婚恋也不自由,到岁数还得受净身的手术之苦。偶尔,乐肥从十八楼的阳台向地上看去,草地上的野猫疯狂地相爱,乐肥快疯了,有生不如死的感觉,真悔呀,好不容易俺娘让俺有机会做了上海猫,没想到我的物质生活上了天堂,精神生活却下了地狱。

换句话来说,在城市化光鲜的生活背后,无数人付出了沉重的精神代价。还是乡下老鼠的那句话实在,"我不羡慕城市老鼠那样充满恐惧的'富裕'生活"。

I have it.. my seven year plan... well if you knew me you would know this is a huge step! I am normally not able to keep my thoughts, dreams or desires going for a minute with out changing to something else. Yes I fly by the seat of my pants. I have decided that I am going to complete my dream. First I will be graduating from college in December of 2009 with two associate degrees( Human Service & Communication), and THree bachelors of Arts in Sociology, Psychology, and HIstory! Why so many degrees you ask? Well do to my screw up as a youngster I have so many credits that it will work to my advance. I am doing it for me and noone else! Course it will look great on my resume:) SOOOOO how does this fall into the seven year plan? I found for my masters that I can combine a Law and a Social Work degree! OKay so I am a little masochistic.. who isn't? I have done some crazy things in my life, and I must say this will be the hardest, accomplishment but the end pay off will be the greatest! Who knows once I graduate I might just follow my fav band around!:)

i feel...used. i do not want to be with him. i love him. but i want him out of my life for good. he is bad for me. he hurts me. i hate myself for staying with him. i hate myself for wanting to leave. i do not understand. i have no idea about what i actually want. if he cheated then i could tell him that i never wanted to see him again. i could justify never speaking a word to him ever. ever ever ever. that's all i want to say. i want to hurt him. i want to scream at him for all the hurt he caused. i want to make sure that he never comes back and i don't hear from him until the day he dies...and thenalli want a notification for a funeral that i will never go to. i love him and i don't want to. i want to be with him every minute and every second apart, every thought that he might be with someone else kills me and the chances of him ditching me again are so high that i can barely stand it. im out of control again. why? why do i always end up with this downward spiral? im a self-defeatist. only this time im throwing out as many safety nets as i can. i hope with every fiber of my being that they catch me before i hit bottom again. i have climbed too high to come crashing back down. i just cant let it happen. if it takes shrinks or pills or friends or blood or tears i WILL NOT let it happen to me. not again and not ever.

I'm going to stop this once and for all.
I really can't be open with people. It just seems like I let them in a certain way, and they end up giving me extra advise. It's more like, I can't tell them what I'm feeling or my perspective without coming across arrogant.
A few times it's happened where I I voiced my opinion and was soo scared it would backfire, but it really ended up being ok. And the other party seemed to take it well, they just needed a bit of time to process the information about me.
I gotta conquer my fear and step out there. And I gotta know it's not going to be a bother at all. It's just good old honesty - the best policy is what they say.

Ok, so tonight it looks like a jazz night and me time.
Maybe Robin will come over or I'll meet up with him or whatever.
He said he's getting smashed. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as I do what I want. I might just want me time. Just sit at Jazz minds, soak in the music and sip on my one drink.
It seems so hard to meet good people in Hawaii. But that's just what they say. I think I'll be alright.

K, time to take a shower and head out.

I love my life today.
It feels like a couple of good things happened. Then towards the evening I got this overwhelming sense of being so damn lucky to life here in Hawaii. Then Gary told me the owners of the appartment said he could basically hang out here for the next 14 years. And eventhough that doesn't directly apply to me, it's security. It's a feeling of not being rushed or forced to do anything. This year is closing so well.
When Dean dumped me, I thought my world would fall apart. It felt like it did for a bit. Then I started talking to Steven again. And he said he wouldn't mind waiting for me.
As usual Daddy told me I was a princess, and so deserving of much more than what life has handed out to me. I could always accept what he said. And I still do. That man! I love him so much.
Haven't really been able to break even with Danny. It seems like he's just really busy and not really ready to deal with my issues. But he does listen when I talk. And I love him for that.
I plan to meet up with Ryan for a bit tonight. Right by the bookstore. He sounds like the old Ryan, except Sober!

I'm almost glad that Dean let me go. I wouldn't have been the one to do that. I was starting to get comfortable with the idea of being with him indefinitely. With me, everything is doable, and it's really for me to see if the other person is up to it or not.
For that matter I know Steven loves me unconditionally. Sometimes it feels like his desire to start a family or be a family is more than his desire for me, or his love for me. But if that's the downside of any hopeful relationship between us I really have no issues with that.

Now I just have to work out the math: Get my divorce finalized, start paying off debt, separate myself entirely from John, and maybe even be amicable with him again. I'm not sure how that will turn out, but my intentions are pure. I think it will be easy on all of us. I mean, he did teach me a lot. I just hope he's not bitter and can let go of some things and be a little social with me.

I swear, sometimes it feels like a Spirit or Spirits are watching over me. It feels like a lot of the things in my life are being guided by a star or something. Like I have these protective walls around me that won't allow me to make a wrong decision or take a wrong path. And if somehow that happens I find my way back to the original Priscilla. It's pretty crazy. But good. I feel safe, not so down on myself and lonely anymore.
What a wonder.

幽幽桂花香

上个星期,一阵没头脑的台风迫不及待的把上海人扯进秋天,初秋的晨真叫一个爽,初秋的傍晚真叫一个凉!

院子里的一片片的桂花悄悄地开了,走在小木板路上,一股清凉的微风从水面上迎面拂过来,缠绵地恩赐你一个浓浓甜甜的桂花香吻,你不由得闭上眼,醉了。待你再睁开眼的当儿,但见得天凉好个秋就端正地写在每个邻里乡亲的脸上了!
