무조건

Easily one of the most unbelievable words in the world There was probably a time I believed in it, but I no longer remember such a time It is easily the most difficult words in the world 무조건 조건 없이 사랑도 없고, 친구도 없고, 가족까지도 없다. 사실이다. 확실이다.

You live

and you learn Constantine is a boy's name. I met a boy called Constantine today. I didn't understand him say his name for the first two times. But then, he didn't understand mine either. So we are even I guess? And now I have the name in the song 'My darling Clementine' in my head. In other words, its 'My darling Constantine'. Thankfully for me, I will never meet the said boy again.

I was an oddball obsessed with 'googling' before the term existed, thanks to my equally obsessed sister i also 'Bearshared' (if you have to look that up a) You are very young b) You are much older c)You did not use the internet. We got our first dial up connection with our first personal computer. It wasn't the first time I was using a computer or internet, but having it at home was a different ballgame. And it was placed perfectly beside a window, like most desks/tables should be. The computer was so 'cool' that we were given covers to change for the CPU, in two different colours. (Probably even for the speakers). I remember the exact date the computer came home. It b...
