Rose specifically asked for a page on my site especially for her. Isn't that SOOOO conceited? JK! What should I talk about first? I'll start with 3rd grade when I first met her.
I remember my first encounter with rose. At that time everyone called her Xiao-Wei. She was in my Chinese class. What I first thought of her was: quiet, smart, kinda strange dresser. In fourth grade, I was placed in the same class as her. I soon found out she was exceptionally smart and soon was excepted in her close circle of friends. That was so long ago. I remember......jumpropes. Not much about them, but still they were part of everyday life. There were times from this childhood bliss that held darkness. And the most evil day of them all was report card day. I reminicse of the joy yet anguish of it all. There was certain pleasure in getting those A's. Not exactly straight A's, perhaps a few minuses if my memory serves. But Rose, in all her brilliance, got STRAIGHT perfect A's. Not a single flaw to her report card. Yup, that one statement just basically wraps up the rest of Rose's academic career.
The year before 5th grade, I moved. Yes, sob, sob. Randolph made it's first impression on me as "nice little town". I tried to keep in touch with most of my friends but only succeeded with Rose. We wrote letters, email wasn't common back then. I'm pretty sure we talked about basically everything. Let's see.....guys...guys....and more guys. That relationship carried on for a few years. That is until MIT splashed into our peaceful routine.
I don't remember how exactly it happened but it did. At first I was reluctant in going. It was summer, I wanted to hang with my girls and do nothing. Finally, I was obligated by my mother. MIT was surprisingly lots-o-fun. The registation was pure massacre. People everywhere, brains everywhere. Kinda scary being in the presence of so many intelligent beings. Then off in the distance...I SPOTTED ROSIE!!!! Now, u must understand, I haven't seen this girl in 2 yrs. I missed her like hell. If I recall correctly, there were hugs and many words exchanged. And many insults of her sister exchanged mainly from her to me. That I'll not specify upon since it brings no big importance. She changed into a semi-angry, anarchy loving, Korn worshipping "little hippy" that was quite intriguing on me. The whole MIT summer was basically just me and her. We skipped alot of our classes and just hung out. On one specific situation, I helped her dump loser Sam cuz he was a stupid loser who did NOTHING for her. I guess alot of her rubbed off on me because when it was time to head back to the "old salt mines", I found myself more bold in a Rose-ish sort of way.
Rose, I have to say, has volatile taste in guys. The most recent would happen to be the one and only DAN*fireworks, stuff like that*. Dan is typical older guy, slightly hot, slightly intimidating. She met him in school. He was 17 yrs old, still is i might add. She's absoluetly infactuated with him. The day he left for college was one that I shall record in her history for the sake of her heart. It was cloudy outside when it happened. I suppose it was a coincidence but maybe it was also that the sun was taking pity on her. She told me she had been crying for several hours and could not stop. As a fellow girl, I felt her pain. I tried my best to cheer her up, and it worked. But I'll never forget how she felt about him. I can't say it was love. Love doesn't feel that horrible, but it was like he put her under his spell. It was rather heart wrenching to see her this way. She was so strong and great and it was hard to think any GUY could do this to her. I was proud of her when she started to heal and got "Joe". Joe, unfortunately, did not last. Dan had told her he loved her. I knew this couldn't possibly be of any help to her well-being and that's all there is so far. I've stood back and watched as Dan slowly and softly killed her. I stood back and did nothing. He just whisked her away from me on some kind of a cloud of anesthetics, taking away the pain of the world, pain of realism. But I'm not going to do anything. Maybe what they say is true, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. This gives her a 50/50 chance and I'm just hoping against hope this won't kill her.
Dan's GONE!! YAY YAY! Can you believe this pathetic loser? he "broke up" with her ONLINE, BY EMAIL. L-O-S-E-R. Here's her angry reply:
dan-
i'd love to be able to put on a big act rite now and pretend everything is okay. don't get me wrong, i'm not sorry it's over. actually, i feel this incredible wave of relief like so many weights lifted off my shoulders.
maybe i have these unkempt feelings of regret. Please do not think i want you back and i still love you. i don't. i never did. i'm pretty glad you said what u did. it just hit me so hard of what was going on. it wasn't real. to think that all that time i spent dedicated to you could have been put to sumthing so much better. did i tell you about the sculpture? the sculpture i started when i first met you. well, on friday it's arm fell off. i'm guessing you understand by now. the arm was you. ths sculpture grew out of the arm. no more need for the arm. i really don't think we could of worked out things. in fact, now that look back, those things you wrote to and about me, it really was a bunch of crap. i know i'm sounding pretty okay with this whole thing rite now, but i'm not. i'm very angry. VERY ANGRY. did you ever read the silence of the lambs? do you know what happened to hannibal lector's victims? the whole ripping out liver thing? isn't it gruesome and harsh and unusual punishment? yes? oh, hehe. i would really like to be hannibal lector rite about now. maybe, i'm at the same level of sanity he is at the moment. crazy enough to come and rip out your spleen. do you really want to know what i'm mad about? it's the fact that i didn't get to dump you. also, you didn't even have the courage to say it to my face. this will really help me: YOU FUCKING COWARD! how's that? yeah, i feel better. and: YOU CAN TAKE YOUR FUCKING JAPANESE BOOKS AND SHOVE THEM UP YOUR TINY ASS! ok, well, i have to go. have a nice day :)
