This is an update, a meaningless one, because I have nothing to say. I'm only writing this post because...I want to assure myself that this blog is still alive (though in a vegetative state).

So. This blog is still alive!

As I have spoken, so shall it become.

To the 0.5 people remaining who still peruse this blog: sweet child, you long-suffering saint, your patience and persistence shall be sung of for many centuries.

I don't update because I have nothing to say, much like this blog post. I should try to add something of interest to this pitiful chunk of writing.

At dinner, my mother checked something with my father, "Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, right?"

I sat there stunned. WHAT? IT'S GOING TO BE CHRISTMAS ALREADY???? BUT...BUT...WHAT!

My mental calendar lies to me, telling me that we're still only in the middle of December. Stupid brain, so useless.

As usual, my family won't really be doing anything for Christmas. It's not a holiday we celebrate in particular. The last time we exchanged presents (to be honest, it was more like my parents giving me and Rachel gifts, and the both of us just being happy and greedy) was...many, many years ago. I can't even remember when. I might've been 11? That's just a random figure I'm guessing. I might've been even younger.

My father will still work on Christmas day - Taiwan really does not celebrate Christmas evidently. They hang up sparkly lights around the city, and have reindeers and costumed Santas everywhere, but they do not really celebrate it.

I should write a post on Taiwan. Why not, eh? And maybe I'll even add pictures!

Oh my, I'm going too far now. Pictures! *shudders*

A series of dotpoints describing random things:

• Am working on my letters to Soph and Vonn. I fear that my letters to them will evolve into tome-sized chunks of paper that'll take them months to read.
• Have nothing to do in Taiwan. This is both good and bad.
• Will hopefully be purchasing a piano with my father - an electronic one, or a keyboard. Whichever. I need something to clack away on, and my father wants to learn the piano (finally, after all these years of inertia, he might venture forth and do what he's always dreamt of doing - playing the piano. Actually, the piano and my father is an interesting topic. I should write a blog post on that.)
• Has vertigo. The doctor gave me pills for that. Now I'm a dizzy drugged up girl. Awesome.
• Enjoyed my time in Malaysia very, very much. I will probably (not) write this up in more detail later. Another blog post! Oh my, I'm going way too far now.

Why is updating a blog so depressing? No, seriously! I feel a dull dread burning through my stomach as I write this. Likely, it's simply that I have no idea what to write, and hence am straining out words. (Or maybe I ate bad food.)

But at least I have a few topics planned now. Given my track record, I'll never actually write them. But it's nice to have plans (that you know will fail).

Back to dotpoints!

• It's really nice having my whole family together again. My sister arrived last night in Taipei, and now my family's all being fat and lazy with each other. I love it.
• I RODE MY BIKE YESTERDAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEARLY A YEAR! I FEEL ALIVE! I FEEL...sore. So very, very sore. I rode for a long time. Two hours with my father around the quieter streets of Taipei, and then one later by myself, with my father sitting nearby, playing Sudoku on my phone. (I should write an entire blogpost about my father. It'll be quite nice, I think.) So yes, my bum aches, along with other unmentionable parts of my body.

This blogpost is entirely too sober and unhyper. Really, reading this, I make myself feel like a downer. Not enough capitals. Needs more smiley faces. Boo!

Maybe I should take some more of my vertigo pills to incite some awesomeness. @____@

Anyway! Assuming in the likely case that I do not update this blog for a long while more: Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

(This post will look so stupid if I actually do update within the next week.

...

Ahahahahaha, that's not going to happen.)
