daily mischief

Roomie’s been nagging me to rest ‘cause I’ve been sick for like three days now, but who are we kidding, it’s me, of course I begged her to let me read a lil bit tho. She’s kinda like the police. I’m mostly goofing off, obviously.

Anyways, sneaky reads from today xoxo

The two Mushi in the story, ‘Ah’, and ‘Un’, are the two characters in a Japanese word ‘oun’. This word is most commonly used in the phrase ‘oun no kokyuu’ which literally means inhaling and exhaling, but indicates that two things work together perfectly. For instance, you might use ‘oun no kokyuu’ to describe two co-authors who have worked together so long that they can anticipate each other’s actions perfectly.

Do you know what color the coffee fruit is? It’s red. They’re smooth, like cherries. At first, I thought the fruits were the beans that they sold in jars. But I never knew that those were actually the seeds. And that they were white before they were roasted. You never know what something really looks like if you’re only looking at it from one direction… or else, you’ll never really know what a person is like.

“And that was the sound of my rhythm… syncing up perfectly with someone else’s.”
