Z'ness is back

I've been calling my boyfriend, Z'ness, since his vacation in Malaysia a month ago.

Due to extreme time difference [how about 14 hours?!], we commnicated via email most of the time. Before Z'ness claimed this unique nickname, he always ended his email with H** Zhuang B** (to ensure privacy ^^). Really? After 2.5 years in this relationship, that was all he can call himself to his girl friend.

Okay, I probably overracted to that.

Anyway, after my email expressing sadness, he revised & called himself Z'ness ever since.

How attractive...whatever.

So, this Z'ness finally returned to the states today, after a whole month of traveling in Malaysia. I'm sure he had a fun time & probably dislikes being back in Houston to face the reality, again.

I'm trying not to be cheesy, but I'd say I'm rather happy that he's back in the states. Maybe I missed him (a little bit), but him being back in the states means no more trying to skype with him at 4am. Trust me, it wasn't that fun talking to him that late into the morning. I guess if I have slept earlier, it wouldn't have happened. Ha Ha.

But I am MORE thankful because I don't have to stare at a blank monitor while talking to him. You see, Z'ness' laptop, that he took, had no mic or camera. Essentially, I talked to a blank screen while he typed back at me. How weird is that. My brother, one day, literally looked at me like I was crazy. I thought I was crazy too.

Nevertheless he is back in Texas, and I can finally have a normal phone conversation with him starting tonight. I'm looking forward to getting my faux Prada purses & other great things he got from Malaysia. I do need to wait for another month or so to let that happen, though. I guess I should be nice to him for all that. Whatever.

My traveling adventure has been more than wonderful. I am being well taken care of, meeting SO many new people, and exploring unique places everyday.

My life is in a really cool place, which makes it even harder to think about the reality afterward.

But the truth is, I am getting more & more excited about grad school - to learn about a field of my dream.

I can't wait to go back & attempt to be intelligent again.

For now, though, my intellectuality will remain in its sleep mode.
