Due to the long-lasting frustration I've had with Live Spaces and MSN in general (no wonder they're trying to change their name -- cuz it sucks!!!), I have finally manifested my intention of moving. And what better place I could find but my long-time fav Google. I appreciate the support my space has gathered over the years. Do move with me to my new and far superior home: http://withinmargineoferror.blogspot.com/

My Vegas summer is finally coming to an end. my last day at work was last Friday. on the same evening Meng and I had dinner with some of the partners. I spent Monday and Tuesday interviewing with 4 other firms. Compared to my interviews earlier this year for this summer's job, I definitely felt a confidence boost and improvement in my speech and attitude. I don't know if it comes from working at the firm or just from growing as a person. Whatever it is, being a lawyer seems to do me a lot of good. I can definitely see myself spending a lifetime here in this glamorous city deep in the desert, with it's neon lights and it's larger-than-life personalities. The legal market here is absolutely wonderful, and still growing. The housing market is crashing, like the rest of the country, but Vegas has no worries, and neither should I. And I have no complaints about the tax, compared to Michigan. Funny, though, how I started thinking about these factors that determine where I want to spend my ...

today i saw a lesbian couple in the walmart parking lot. 3 things to be said about this: 1) yes, i shop at walmart. apparently they sell groceries. 2) for my chinese friends reading this, here's some background info: gay/lesbian discrimination is one of the last few discrimination we're struggling with here in the US (or at least, that's what they would like us to think - i personally believe that there's plenty of discrimination out there). one of the cutting-edge issue arising from this dispute is gay marriage and the mass of people against it. it's the epitomy of American stupidity if you ask me, but who am i to judge. but then again, why can't i judge? i'll stop judging when i become one of them. i guess then i'd be more reluctant to call myself stupid. 3) so this couple tauntingly looks at anyone who makes eye contact, in a proudly hostile way. now, i am a gay-people-lover, anyone who knows me knows that half my friends are gay or lesbian, and i believe in their ...

tonight Meng and i had our first real "relationship talk" where we discuss what we see in this relationship and in our future. while i'm glad that he's finally opening up and that we're pretty much proceeding with the understanding that someday we'll have a family together, i can't help but wonder how suitable this future really is for me. i love him dearly, and that love has kept me around despite so many miserable days. in the end, i'm finally seeing something rewarding and it just makes me more determined to hang in there. at the same time i have utterly lost myself. my values, my beliefs, my firm ideal of a life filled with freedom and individuality. i've consented to a family, to kids, to taking my career into backseat, someday maybe even giving it up. in exchange i'm promised a strong family, lots of love and devotion from a person i love. i suppose this is what all women had wanted years and years ago. maybe something that many women still want today. but others have ...
