scarletnight @ 8:45 pm

I like moving around, physically.  I can’t sit still, and I haven’t stayed in one city for more than four years since I was fourteen.  So I got a new blog after having my last one for… four years.  Haha.

Bye bye, Xanga, I said on my old blog.  I’d gone there with a broken heart.  Now that it’s whole again, it’s time to move on.

I told someone I see events in my life as symbols and he said that was stupid.  On a cold winter night in January in his car.  I didn’t tell him I thought he was stupid before he said that, and what he said made him even stupider.  That was a symbolic event, too.  We disagree on too many things we could only see each other once in a long while, in the dark.  So we didn’t have to actually see each other.  I saw him once in daylight, couldn’t stand the sight of him.

Scarlet night.  Red and black have been the most symbolic colors for Asian American organizations.  Do a Google search to conduct your own survey.  And I just love all shades of red.  What does a scarlet night make you think of?  A blood-smeared sky, like Hiroshima and Nagasaki?  A playful night in New York City?  A whole night of sex (somehow I wasn’t comfortable with writing “love-making”)?

Images.  Imageries.  Imagine.
