So I haven’t posted a while—I’ve been pretty busy. I mean, there are two Taiwanese kids over at my house. For my sake, I’m going to give them English names. Let’s call them Kyle and Will. They are twins. So, they’ve dragged me to watch baseball. And I’ve been going every possible day. It’s fun. I’ve been addicted. It’s good to see Taiwan come out and fight! I missed the first game and the second to last game (I only went to the Taiwan matches cuz Taiwan is, well, quite frankly awesome).

It was in Taylor, Michigan so it’s a bit of a drive out there but it’s definitely worth it. Funny thing is, I had no idea this happened every year. Guess what I’m doing next year?

Anyway, it’s been pretty exciting. First match I saw was Ukraine v. Taiwan. Taiwan won by 13. Ukraine got a grand total of 0 points. Second match I saw was Taiwan v. Canada. Taiwan won 10-0. Third match was Taiwan v. Mexico. This one scared me a bit. However, Taiwan pulled through 8-5. Then I watched Taiwan v. Texas. Taiwan won 9-1. I was really anxious because it was scoreless through the top of the fourth inning, but Mexico scored in the bottom of the fourth. However, Taiwan pulled through again!

I have to admit, I’m sort of Taiwanese about this. I’m pissed that they called us “Chinese Taipei”. It’s Taiwan, plain and simple. I hate how Taiwan is overshadowed by the People’s Republic of China, and world politics. I don’t care what people say, Taiwan /is/ a country.

Now that today’s sport rant is over (heh, soccer to baseball, huh?), more about the boys.

Both of them are really cool. It’s funny because a lot of the time all three of us are sitting next to each other, on computers—while my sister is sleeping. We call it the “otaku party”.

At first, I was apprehensive about them coming. I mean, I know that people aren’t always what they seem to be on the surface. Their parents may think they are great people, but they are really horrible kids. However, this is /not/ the case. Will and Kyle are both great people.

With both of them here, we’ve played card games, board games, and done more sports than I’ve done in a while. Finally picked up another basketball.

Currently, they are in Florida with my sister (I’m not a fan of where they went). So they’re not gone yet. Right now, I kind of don’t want them to leave, but I’m leaving for college before they leave for Taiwan. They’re not gone for good yet, so maybe I’ll dedicate another post (maybe in Chinese, heh) to them.

Sorry again for another scattered post, but hey—it’s mixolydian musings not ionian musings.

Cheers.
