The Clock Is Ticking |
sometimes we wonder if we'll have enough time but time is what we make it so make it work. tick tock tick tock Roslyn Lee |
funny story. so as most of you guys already know, i get trolled…a LOT.
Last night, I was minding my own business, studying in the Pi Delta Psi House, when all of a sudden, I start getting these creepy texts. What were some of these said creepy texts, you may ask: “Roslyns are red, violets are blue, I have a gun, so get in my van”, “So got a boyfriend?”, “What is your favorite horror movie? Mine is Nightmare on Elm Street where the guy has knives for fingers”, “I’ll trade you my name for your intestines”
So yes, creepy. So I’m freaking out, trying to figure out who this is. Approximately 30 minutes later though, I get this text saying “If you rape Elliott, or Rob, or Victor, or whichever person’s room you’re in, there will be consequences”. So I knew this person knew where I was, so I immediately storm out of the room and start screaming “YOUUUU” and pointing my finger accusingly at anyone on the third floor. Albert promptly shuts the door in my face and Victor gives me a bewildered look. So I storm back into Elliott’s room, at which point Rob is trying to lock me out of the room but is unsuccessful. Rob has been trying to sleep, but can’t because I keep screaming every few seconds.
Finally, the mystery texter sends me a text saying “Look out the window”. Keep in mind I am on the third floor, so I look outside but can’t see all the way to the ground. My solution? I start screaming out the window “WHO ARE YOU??? SHOW YOURSELFFFF” (Keep in mind this is at 3 am in the morning), but the only response I get is “I’m HEIDI” from a startled, innocent passerby who immediately runs away. I get another text saying “If you don’t find me now, I will find you….TONIGHT”. And now I’m really scared, so I send a response text going “I’M GOING TO NUT TAP YOU AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU ONCE I FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE”. At this point, Louie comes into the room and goes “It was me”. So yes, this story ends with me beating up Louie.
It was quite an eventful night, and literally lasted for an hour. The best part of it was, when I woke up this morning to brush my teeth, there was this girl walking around in my house with her pants off. She introduces herself as “Heidi”. Yes, the very same Heidi who got harassed by a screaming girl on the third floor of the Pi House at 3 am in the morning.
Conclusion of this story? My life is weird. And people should stop trolling me because it gets kinda cray cray.
Mom: Hey Roslyn, do you know the name of that song with whistling in it?
Me: Yeah, it’s called “Blow My Whistle”, why?
Mom: I want to use it for my ringtone.
Me: ….No, please don’t. It’s not about whistling, it’s about giving a guy a blowjob… Don’t use it.
Mom: Hmm, I’ll think about it.
Mom, why would you still consider using it as your ringtone when you know what it means. I will be the girl who’s mom has “Blow My Whistle” for her ringtone….
Sadly, up until a couple of weeks ago, I still thought that song was about teaching a girl how to whistle D:
i recently found out that my mom hides my sister’s shirts so she doesn’t wear them because they are too slutty.
worse thing is, my mom also told me that she used to hide MY shirts so I didn’t wear them….because they were too ugly.
my life is so sad.
to give you a better understanding, i used to wear free t-shirts and sweats all the time. my fashion sense is great.
yes, i was one of those kids that my mom had to bribe to go shopping and buy stuff -.-“
let’s just start by saying, I am a pushover to a point that even 4 year olds can bully me.
so I work at a summer camp with 3-4 year olds during the weekdays, and I have some pretty epic experiences. some you have to be there to understand, and some I can’t remember after they’ve passed, but children are AMAZING.
here are some of the things that amused me:
Day 1: So one of the teachers was playing a counting game with the children. She started by asking a simple question “What’s inside of this jar?”, all the children’s answers? “EELSSSSSS!!!!!” The real answer? Q-tips.
Day 2: I was sore after this day because my kids decided to use me as a seesaw. You claim not possible? It is. And it was painful. Also, one of my kids almost peed on me, which I’m starting to feel will become a more common experience.
Day 3: Nothing super notable happened, so I’ll use this day to just say, I’m really good with kids. I’m not being cocky or confident or anything. I’ll admit to my faults: I’m hopelessly clueless, totally naive, horrible at most games and sports, but I’m just being realistic here. I’m like actually a genius with children even though I’m a failure at life.
Day 4: One of my campers peed her pants and then sat on me. After I realized she peed her pants, and I told her she couldn’t sit on me, she still kept on trying. Quite persistently. I was very sad. Also, during lunch, this one camper thought it would be funny to call me “trash lady” and told all the other kids to finish eating their food and throw their trash on me. Then, she chewed up her food and spit it all over her fingers with a huge coat of saliva and rubbed it on my chest/neck area. This was a fun day.
Day 5: So I honestly don’t even know how this happened considering I’m 19 years old and over twice the size of my 3-4 year old campers, but my campers managed to knock me over on the ground, flat on my back. They then proceeded to pin me down by dog-piling on me and had even more fun by pulling up all the grass around them and throwing it on my face and hair. I also got strangled many many times during this event. I also asked my campers to guess how old they thought I was. You know what the only number they insisted on guessing was? 69. 69! like wtf. Out of all the numbers….. “How old do you think I am?” “69!!” “No, try lower” “69.” “No, you already guessed that.” “You’re 69!!” (this conversation went on for around 10 minutes…)
Lessons Learned?
so against popular opinion, it is not my birthday today.
let me explain.
I recently joined a group called Taiwanese Student Association. Yes, the name reveals so much about what our organization does. But to give you a rough idea, it’s basically just a group of people who do things every weekend.
For instance, last weekend we went snowboarding. And I died. But that’s a different story, because the one I would like to highlight is how much I can possibly get trolled in one night.
This weekend, it was merely a quiet dinner at Red Robin, seemed perfectly normal. But I should have gotten the hint that it wasn’t when you could order ENDLESS fries and ENDLESS specialty drinks. like WHAT? What restaurant does that?
But anyways, I swear, I am NOT a germophobe. I just think it’s GROSS when people like stick their saliva over everything then insist you eat it as well. AS IF ANYONE WOULD! But either way, because I wouldn’t drink out of the same side of a cup that someone drank out of, these people start insisting I’m a germophobe and are now going to get me a giant tub of hand-sanitizer for my birthday…so this conversation persisted for quite a while as they constantly pointed out all the germs around us to me and expecting me to freak out.
and THEN, I just decided to go to the bathroom with sam, and it was perfectly normal….but when I came back and sat down, some waitresses were clapping and singing while walking. So I turn to Tony and I’m like “Hey! It’s another birthday! I wonder who’s it is!” because this was like the 3rd birthday that dinner. And yeah…you guessed it, they stop in front of ME, hand me a sundae and continue to clap and sing happy birthday while the entire TSA board just sits there clapping and laughing along. AGAINST POPULAR OPINION, IT IS NOT MY BIRTHDAY TODAY. D: ah well, free sundae? Quite hilarious, I had no idea what to say.
Sheen: Roslyn! I didn’t know it was your birthday today!
Me: me neither…
oh, and best thing ever. Because we were at the dilemma of not having enough seats in the cars to take people back, someone jokingly said “People can ride in the trunk”. The second I heard that, I burst out screaming “OOH ME ME, PICK ME, I WANNA RIDE IN THE TRUNK!!!” and people gave me the typical “is she serious…?” look. Yes, I get that a lot. So yup, I got to ride in the back of Justin’s car. It was quite the glorious moment.
so that was quite fun. and then…basketball. oh geez, I have not played in forever, but Tony insisted I play, so I went. and yes, I was horrid. What’s funny is how amazing Tony is at encouragement. He’d keep passing me the ball, hoping that by SOME miracle I’d finally make it in. But I never would. I would always miss, but somehow, one of our teammates always got my back and caught my airball. Thus, Tony’s response: Nice pass! when I obviously wasn’t passing. Hey Tony, nice save.
There were definitely many other troll moments of that night, but those are the points that stick out. What a hilarious night, what a great new family :)
and my butt is definitely still sore.
So i have actually been to the fair for the past 4 years, but i’ve always worked at the fair as a facepainter for my church. Don’t get me wrong, that was a WONDERFUL experience in itself, but i’ve actually never done a lot of things that most people got to do at the fair.
I am a huge wuss. Let’s just get that out there right now. I hate roller coasters, I hate anything that moves remotely up and down, and I am SUPER afraid of heights. So….of course, my friends took advantage of this.
They bullied me onto this ride called “FREAK OUT”, WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. You would basically be strapped into this giant claw thing that would spin around while tossing you in the air, and it was FREAKING SCARY. Defu kept going “Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it looks.” It was so much worse than it looked…
So after chickening out a couple times, they got me on. I was shaking, I knew Le was mumbling stuff next to me, but I was too scared to hear. Later, Ed told me that Le was telling me some story about a princess and a pea or something…I couldn’t hear, I was too busy screaming my head off. It didn’t start off too bad, but then there was a point where we were above the ground, and if I looked down, I was perfectly horizontal. That’s when….for the first time in my life…..I cussed in person……that’s how scared I was. I screamed “IM GOING TO F***ING KILL YOU DEFU”, Zifan couldn’t stop laughing after that. Defu spent the entire ride giggling. After it was finally over, my hands and legs were all numb and I couldn’t stop shaking…..And even so……they tried bullying me onto a scarier ride afterwards. Uh. NO. But I’m glad I got to experience it, even though I felt like I was going to die.
Le maintained his awesome status of being able to text on every ride. I found that very impressive. He’d be twirling like 100 feet in the air, and still be sending me texts.
Later, the rides were less scary, nothing compared to “FREAK OUT”. We got food and drinks and saw a couple friends. Defu started acting high after getting ripped off for lemonade, which was GREATLY entertaining. Zifan (well known for having stains on ALL his shirts) dripped carmen’s on ed’s shirt this time, so Ed made him lick it off. SO GROSS.
We had some really dumb moments. But it was so much fun, more nonsensical fun than I’ve had in a LONG time.
We went on this spinny ride that Le and Zifan almost barfed on. Ed spends the entire time on all his rides talking about jizz and his balls. Defu and I laughed uncontrollably. It was ridiculous, we just couldn’t stop laughing. By the end….Defu laughed so much, he lost his voice.
Defu finally bought me the big bag of cotton candy he owed me, which pleased me a lot. And then, made me feed him the cotton candy.
Oh, and Defu’s face was PRICELESS on the drop tower. He looked SO scared, even though it was the shortest ride ever. That was the perfect revenge for the “FREAK OUT” ride. Absolutely priceless. I took a mental picture, that I will never forget.
I love how our group can be so nerdy….and yet, we were so ridiculously dumb at the fair.
What a great way to top off an awesome summer. After this experience, I’m so ready to jump into college, knowing I’ve had a wonderful memory to remember these high school friends by.
<3 Forever and always - Roslyn, Defu, Zifan, Le, Ed <3
Dear Edward,
gawsh, i havent blogged in a while, so i guess im skipping a couple days, i’ll just talk about the eventful ones.
sooooo i guess 2 days ago, we went to the zoo (WOOPEE) and it was AMAZING. they have so many cool animals here, they even have an entire exhibit dedicated to nocturnal animals, so that was fun.
there was the insect building, and man, im an EXPERT at handling butterflies. i can get them to land on my fingers and stuff, and i even put one on my sister’s head! i’ll teach you next time ;P so you can know my tricks. (defu is not impressed….)
also, koalas are a lot uglier than i thought they were.
i saw lots of snakes and we watched monkeys clean each other of ticks! we mainly just looked at animals, but it’s a lot funner than it sounds. haha, a lot of our jokes, are the kind of “you had to be there” kind of jokes. but seriously, a trip to taiwan would be totally AWESOME with you guys. so much to do here.
yesterday, we did glamour pictures. and guess what. the makeup artist/hair stylist said my hair is amazing! she said hair salonists hate dealing with extremely healthy hair like mine because they need to damage it in order to work with it. haha, she said my sister’s hair was pretty damaged enough to work with. lolll. she also said that if i didnt have a red nose i’d be pretty! and that’s coming from someone who makes people pretty for a living!!! (curse rudolph….)
anyhoo, guess how much it cost. $600 for my sister and me…in american dollars! so it was pretty cool. we first did makeup for 2 hours!! (okay, that part was painful) and she even shaved part of my eyebrows, i was like “AHHHH” but it’ll grow back soon…hopefully… and then we got to pick out 3 dresses. for every dress, we also get a different hairstyle and different jewelry accessories. it was so intense. i had to wear these like 4 inch heels at one point and walk up and down stairs. NEVER AGAIN. but this morning, my upper abdominal muscles ached, so im wondering if heels work your abs and not your butt :O
but yeah, switching poses and hanging with my sister was pretty fun. the photographer and makeup artist were both HILARIOUS, so the 8 hours it took passed by so quickly! afterwards, we went to this hotpot place for dinner, and it was SO GOOD. free drinks and ice cream too.
so today, we went to some….weird interesting place where they had lots of interesting arts and crafts that you could make yourself.they even had glow in the dark glass blowing! it was so cool. and this really neat thread and metal flower art. it was beautiful! we just walked around, did a tad of shopping. i got this paper ball that has cool shapes holes and a changing color light inside. it’s so much fun.
but most of the day was spent on the bus fighting with my sister over my ipod -.-
then, at night, we went back to the glamour picture place and looked at the photos we took yesterday. a lot were good, but just as many were stupidly funny. we had a lot of good laughs today making fun of ourselves.
all in all, some really silly days.
Coming back soon!!!
Love,
Roslyn
Dear Edward,
wow, where to start…3 days ago, i guess. haha, let’s hope i remember what happened. we first met up with my mom’s friend who graduated from Caltech! He was interesting and took us to this sketchball restaurant for lunch. it was really dirty and there were flies hovering over the vat of unattended soup. yucky.
we then went to the picasso museum and MAN WERE THOSE PAINTINGS DISTURBING. i think i probably saw more boobies than you with your “bad teacher” movie. trust me. but yeah, the scenery here is so gorgeous. it sucks that you guys arent here for me to share it with. i think im going totally crazy because in order to cope with how much i miss you guys, i kinda just imagine what my day would be like or what type of conversations i’d have with you guys if we had all taken this trip together. haha, stupid, i know.
oh, then my mom’s friend took us especially to go see those stores that kill snakes for you to eat just so i could look at snakes. it was SO COOL, they were HUGE. but my mom wouldnt let me have one :( i threw a temper tantrum.
then we came home and watched “i am number four” it was pretty good. but i hate how like there were so many poppy outty surprises! it was so scary! i was jumping in my seat so much, i hate that! >< but yeah, i ranted for like 20 minutes about the cliffhanger ending.
the next day we woke up at 5 am in the morning to drive to the mountains and sun moon lake. i spent the entire car ride singing (big surprise) and sleeping. oh and at the lunch restaurant we ate at, it was so awkward cuz some one missed the floor toilet and peed blood all over the floor. nastyy. my sister also took forever in this one bathroom because she was killing all the ants in her stall. i was like “seriously..?”
we drove up a mountain and it was really cool because it was so high that the road we drove on was covered in clouds. i loved that part. my sister and i have this new thing where we exclaim “woahhh” multiple times in a really dumb voice whenever we something remotely interesting. i can see how that gets annoying though. haha
our hotel was AMAZING, everything was controlled by the MASTER PANEL which was touch screen. it controlled lights, music, tv, EVERYTHING. it was really fun cuz every time my mom used the bathroom i’d turn off the lights after a few seconds and she’d start yelling at me. the first day there my parents tried getting me to ride bikes with them but i was afraid i’d fall into the lake. so we went boating instead. and must i say, it was HILARIOUS.
so mainly, after we finally got a hang of asian row boating, my sister suddenly starts shrieking her head off and runs to the front of the boat. and im like “Wtf are you doing?!??!” and she’s like screaming “SPIDER SPIDER SPIDER” and pointing at her oar. and there was this HUGE A$$ spider right on her oar handle, so we start splashing water at it and it starts like flying at us. so we both are like running around our tiny boat and screaming and this family on a motor boat passes us. so my sister starts screaming “HELP HELP HELP” and they just laugh at us and drive away. then this other guy comes on a jet ski and (in chinese) he’s all like “do you need help rowing?” and we’re like “NO, there’s a spider!!” and he just nods pleasantly and drives away too. so after we finished screaming, we manage to position the spider so it wouldnt interfere with rowing and like rowed back to the dock as fast as we could. then we switched boats and continued, but i decided to trick my sister and scream “SPIDER” really loudly, and she jumped up and started shrieking her head off again, and i broke down laughing. she almost pushed me out of the boat that time. it started pouring so we headed back. everyone biked back but i had to walk :( i tried running, but i stopped after 10 seconds….*cough*
anyways, the buffet for our dinner was AMAZING, it literally had everything. and super expensive ice cream too. then we went to our room and watched “she’s the man”.
the next day we checked out of the awesome hotel (here’s the site http://www.smlh.com.tw/home/index.php check it out, it’s super cool). and we rode cable cars (omfg it was so scary at the beginning cuz im afraid of heights, but it was a beautiful view) to an amusement park. my sister loves roller coaster, but i hate them, but she kept whining that she wanted me on them. so my mom paid me $20 to go on the rides with her. they bought the stupid log ride picture -.- i hope she doesnt put that on facebook, cuz i was SO FREAKING SCARED. i was gonna freaking pee my pants…but space mountain was fun, we rode it like 3 times. i feel proud of myself. afterwards we went riding on a boat and then we headed home (more singing). but yeah, the amusement park was tons of fun.
oh also, there was a jurassic park ride and they spelled the “long neck dinosaur” as “brontosaurus” so i guess im right? woopee.
ohohoh anddd it’s pretty cool since my mom has 4 brother right? so two of them live here in taiwan and they are SO NICE. they pay for the hotels, restaurants, so much stuff with the excuse that we hafta “shop and buy stuff” so they want to cover other expenses. im like “wow, so awesome.” speaking of my uncles, we were in a restaurant and i was sad they didn’t let me keep the coke bottle because it was one of those rare antique ones that they don’t make anymore. it even had “coke” in chinese on it. it was so cool. so while i was in the mountains with uncle 4, uncle 2 went out looking for these antique coke bottles and bought the closest thing he could find. not exactly the cool ones, but they still have the old shape. which was awesome. they are so cool.
im having a great time here. but it’d be definitely cooler if i could share my experiences directly with you guys.
<3

Dear Edward,
so today (well, yesterday for me) we went to Danshui (not gu gong like i said…i was obviously confused). it was amazing!!! it was a 40 min subway ride there, but the first thing we did was shop in a cute store. i found the best souvenir ever for defu. it was a necklace that said “sexy” on it, and it was SO pretty! but my mom wouldnt let me get it cuz it was pretty expensive and she said defu wouldnt wear it :( made me sad.
i bought this super cool ring though that spins in the middle, so i think it’ll help a lot with my ADD since i get distracted a lot. but it’s so entertaining! i just sit there and spin it when im bored! yay, problemo solved.
we went to this seafood place for lunch and there were these mini fried fish things and i accidentally bit off the meat and left behind the spinal cord and the skull and the eyeballs and it looked SO GROSS. i ate that part and i could taste the eyeballs :( they went squish.
we then went to this fort thing and it was super boring, and the toilets were disgusting looking (that’s what my sister and i always look at first…the toilets) and we saw this model taking photo shoots (she was either a model or getting ready for a wedding, we couldnt tell).
then we went to the coolest place ever. you had to climb 3 flights of stairs to get there (prolly to lose weight before eating, cuz it was a dessert place)and the view was amazing! the drinks we got were huge (u can see pics of them when my sister puts them up)! we just chilled there until we had to use the bathroom. and boy, the bathrooms were WEIRD. there were mirrors EVERYWHERE, so you’d like sit down and pee and then look up and see yourself. its so nasty. there was even a sofa in there too, so the first thing i said when we went in was “party in the bathroom!!!!” i got so fat from that place. we ate $1160 worth of desserts…in taiwanese money of course (so divide by 30).
afterwards we took a boat to another place but we didnt stay long cuz it started pouring like crazy. the poor stray dogs looked so sad and wet :( both my sister and i would love to come back here and build dog shelters for the stray dogs. its so sad
but yeah, today was pretty fun and my sister and i had a lot of hearing problems. i was like “rabbits are vegetarians…” and she goes “what?? really? i thought they eat meat!” and i was like “wtf! of course they dont” and she was like “huhhh? catholics?” and i was like “-.- rabbits…”. the second time my sister goes “would u classify drugs as meat?” and i was like “um no….” and she was like “what then?” and im like “wheat…maybe” and she goes “WHAT??? WHEAT???” (turns out she said bugs instead of drugs). there was one other one but we don’t remember. haha it was fun.
my sister also has a knack for spilling stuff all over herself. so she was drinking this like chocolate oreo shake thing and she spilled it all over her leg, and even tho she cleaned it up, she missed a spot. so 20 minutes later i saw it and i started cracking up like crazy cuz it literally looked like she might have had an accident on herself because it was brown. so i was like “wow, if i hadnt told u, u’d be walking around the streets and people would come up to you going like ‘excuse me miss, did you poop on yourself?’” she punched me for that.
sometimes it does get kinda boring here, but between my sister and i we manage to entertain ourselves.
miss you lots,
Roslyn
Dear Edward,
lemme start by saying, i almost cried today :( we were coming back from a store that sold puppies and kittens and they were SO cute, and then my mom went and told me about how tons of people buy them because they’re cute, but when they grow up, they can’t handle them and throw them away :( i was so sad, its like…the pet loves you, even if you dont, so how could u do that?!?!? yeah, every time i think about animal abuse, is tart crying, it just SO FREAKING SAD.
remember how i told you about my 4th uncle and how he had tons of dogs? all those dogs are strays they picked up off the street. and one of our favorites (her name is doodoo!!!) was actually found bound up in barbed wire on the side of the road, left there by her owners :( CRY CRY CRY
but yeah, i guess, my day…other than sobbing my heart out for those poor animals :’(
lol so yesterdayyy i spent the entire morning taking my calculus placement exam for CMU and DAYUM IT WAS HARD. im a calc fail. i got 5 questions off on one section alone…..out of 8…..sad…haha
afterwards, we spent the entire day shopping, and i bought some interesting clothes. i bought this one….shirt thing…that was only sold by this one particular store and it was under $15!!!! i also bought a shirt and a jacket for under $2. impressive, huh? nothing else really happened that day, pretty uneventful.
oh except, we went to an amazing place for dinner. and i swear, the cou dou fu smells like COW POOP. they should make a rule in a restaurant where if you order it, you have to be quarantined in one corner of the restaurant so as not to disturb other people’s meals. GROSS. but yeah, my sister and i were arguing whether a dinosaur was called “brontosaurus” or “bronchosaurus” and we asked my mom “mommy, what’s the dinosaur with the long neck called?” and my mom’s answer was “stegasaurus”, my dad’s: “long neck”, my uncle’s: “dinosaur”. asians, smh. afterwards, my sister and i decided to be mischievous and take cong you bing’s and throw them at random people from a balcony. it was fun :]
todayy we went to this museum thing and i swear, i got yelled at, at leastttttt 5 times. i remember getting yelled at a few times for being too loud (they literally all had signs that said “please keep your voices low”). we also got yelled at for playing with my sister’s mp3, anddddd for putting our feet on the benches. we are sad children. :( my sister and i are having this competition where we see who can count the most white people.
anyhoo, the museum was SUPER LAME. and there were these impossible carvings…like…impossible, i’ll explain when i get back, but there’s NO FREAKING WAY any HUMAN BEING coulda carved what i saw.
they also had this garden place, and MAN WAS IT LEGITTTTT. like, seriously, we saw black swans…super creepy. anddd the fish there were HUMONGOUS. they would literally swarm outta the water to eat the fish food u throw at them. but the best fish was the MONSTER FISH i found. it was like a normal pond fish, but it was definitely longer than my arm span. it was crazy. it could eat all the other fish in one bite. i loved it. i also saw a super huge millipede and my mom got super angry at me for poking it. ok, so yesterday i had 3 bug bites, today i have 14….. i think it was cuz i kept laying on all the outdoor terraces. so naughty :O
anyhoo, then we went to the long awaited for night market. didnt get to play mahjong, but at your recommendation i did eat the chicken patty thing and the manga shaved ice and it was AMAZINGGGG <3 thank you for recommending it to me.
im so tired of riding the subway…..oh yeah, today, i was riding a bus. and i was SO nice and kind and gave my seat up to a random old asian lady. then as she was getting off the bus, she thanked the girl next to me for giving up her seat for her. after she left, i raged….madly. “WTF I WAS THE ONE WHO GAVE UP MY SEAT ALSKJDLAKSJDKLSAJDKS” hahaha jk, but it still sucked :( hehe
Your Biffer,
Roslyn
