my insides hurt...

i've been back in NY for 3 days and i feel culture shock. maybe it's the frigid feeling that my face is about to fall off every time i step outside, but after being away for 1.5 years, i feel out of place. im always loud and i always drink. that hasn't changed. but i find that sometimes when telling a story, im so used to using certain chinese slangs that when forced to english only, i hiccup the punch line. usually, my comeback assimilation takes 1 day max. i'm at day three and i feel a bit slow. probably doesn't help that the month long bday celebration has hit the midway point with CHUNG AND VICTOR STRAPPING ME TO A CHAIR, HOLDING MY FOREHEAD AND NECK BACK AND FORCING ME TO CHUG GREY GOOSE, CUERVO, JWALKER. within 1 hour i was done. i woke up and found puke on the bedstand, the floor and the bathroom. sorry chomo.

i ate pretzels today. i can't remember the last time i had pretzels.
also...i had deli sliced muenster cheese and liverwurst. a staple in my household. definitely 2 years since my last liverwurst.
NY PIZZA!!! it's not the same anywhere else~
