Rebel

It's common knowledge that I'm something of a rebel. Which means that I tend to go off and do what I like instead of following the crowd. Which also means that some of the things I do and say, which make complete sense to me, do not exactly sit well with a lot of folks.

Like my attitude towards Chinese (or Lunar) New Year, for instance, which is like 2 days away.

Which means

• my house should've been decked out in lucky red charms and ornaments by now - unfortunately (for them, that is), I don't believe in those superstitions, I'm Buddhist (not Taoist)
• my red clothing should be ironed and ready to wear - me and the girls will be wearing the clothes we bought in CA, not all of them red
• the top of my fridges should be piled high with festive cookies and food gifts - got a box of mandarin oranges and a few jars of our favorites and we don't intend to share (bwahaha)
• and the red envelops stuffed with cash and ready to be handed out to any kid or single we meet - um, we'll see about that.

I'd rather just be lazing around the house in my tank and shorts. And that's exactly what I'm doing. But that's just me! Do it if you dare!
