It is November 20, 2010. First blog. Ever. 

Arrived Maine last night at 10pm with Katie. It is always fun to take a little road trip with her up to visit her dad, mainly because it is the only 2 hours in a whole month where we get to spill our hearts out. Whatever we think, whatever we feel, we spill! Usually I'm the squirrel who can't stop speaking and can't stand the awkward silence. You should know the difference between awkward silence and thoughtful silence. The awkward silence never exists between us. It is either me speaking, her speaking, or just two best friends being content with each other's presence.

Her dad is an amazing cook! The reason he is amazing is not purely because he makes the best sunny-side-up eggs and buttered-toast, along with excellent pancakes, sausages, and hash browns, for my first breakfast in 3 months since school started. It is his passion, desire, and interest to cook. You can tell when someone really enjoy doing what he's doing. It is true with her dad and cooking. It is simply fascinating to watch him cook for what seems like a century, well half an hour to be exact.

I have to admit I have a little.. something when I see passionate people. It gives me a warm feeling inside. I love seeing the fire inside them. It may sometimes appear weird when you just stare at someone for a really long time. But usually it is fine, since when they're doing something they're passionate about, they love to share and they love to know that the person observing is as interested to that subject as they are. Of course I know that.

I've always loved Maine. Except the weird weather they have here (Sunny and cold), they have the truest state slogan - "Maine- The way life should be".

Due to the weather, I'm going to have to wear my winter-thick wool black tights, made for snow. They are as thick as sweats but better brings out your body figure. Smile :)
