Finally got a set of speakers. My room’s sound system now consists of a single mixed output from the desktop and the keyboard, switchable between the speakers and headphones.

Finally fixed my desktop computer today–it turns out that the ps/2 ports are malfunctioning. Acccompanied me for over four years and crossed nation and state borders, this computer has seen its days; how long will it be able to stay with me?

Get well soon; I love you.

I realize that (albeit from a surprising source) what I want is the feeling that you need me; I don’t really feel that currently.

One point to add: you think we are on the phone too often? With careful accounting I would say 5 hours per week is already an exaggerated estimate (in the past week we have 2 50 min conversations; other conservations won’t even reach an average of 30 min a day). Now 5 hours a week is a very pathetic amount of time to spend with your boyfriend considering what you spend on the other social activities. On the phone for 5 hours might be too much when we can see each other in person, but should not be the case when we cannot.

Where are you?

Add oil.

For those who use Skype, my Skype username is TiconEVA. People in Hong Kong have the additional convenience of calling the number 81245790; it is a Hong Kong number so calling will be free-of-charge in Hong Kong.

I had feared that this would happen, and now it did. I really have no intention to ask for an intimate conversation, rather trying my best to show otherwise. I regret that I wrote the first private post; I desire a positive relationship with you much more than intimate conversations. You seldom believe in me though, and this has happened more than once. I apologize if I gave you such an impression last week; in order to prove myself, I will not speak of intimate conversations anymore from now on. I want you to know that I really love you and care about you; I called you so often not because I want intimate conversations but because I really miss you. I am rarely privileged with the comfort that you believe in me in this issue.

I like the homepage of Princeton’s Department of Psychology, especially their faculty contacts.
