Ai shi teru, te amo, I love you, je t'aime. Everywhere I go, I always say the same thing.

So I was hanging out with Tiffany and Vicki tonight, and it was loads of fun. I learned a couple of different phrases in Mandarin, but none of them stuck except for "no good," haha...

I asked my parents how to say random crap today too. They think I'm crazy. More than they had always believed...

Anyway, you all get to see my new haircut and me smiling with my retainer on and behind on the white board is a new phrase I learned: JACKPOT!

Yeah, that entire first line collectively means jackpot. I told my parents that I wanted to buy a scratcher just to say that! I realize how crazy that sounds, but I really appreciate languages, ya'know? Learning random phrases is just how I show my appreciation! So under jackpot, it says "Losing is no good." Underneath that basically says, "Isn't that right, dad?"

My dad already knows that I wrote jackpot on the board, but he doesn't know about the rest. My mom knows nothing about this. I'm kind of excited to see what their reaction will be when I wake up...

Anyway, I should go. I have work tomorrow...

See you tomorrow or Wednesday, then!

(P.S. Justher, I'm sorry if I messed up your tags by interpreting them differently for my own intentions! Does that even make any sense? I need sleep, STAT!)
