A friend who lived four blocks away moved back to Korea. It's spring and I'd known her for about a year. Although we might not have always seen eye to eye, she enjoyed my face, shared my world-views, smiled whenever she saw me coming towards her, but one day just left without a word. We'd spend mornings getting coffee, it started out with wide smiles, a warm embrace, and Iced Americanos. Then we'd have our days ahead of us. I'd say, What're you doing later? She'd say, Call me. I'd call, and if she wasn't busy we'd be out to dinner. Sometimes I'd run into her in other parts of town, with girlfriends, or on an errand: wide smiles, a warm embrace, happy but brief unrestrained chatter, but not a word about the night before. Dinners varied from Italian, Korean, Mediterranean, and other cuisines that deviated from the mundane, but the night would end with her saying, I had fun, call me later, followed by a kiss on the cheek. I'd call, and she'd make an excuse to call back, then she never would. It wouldn't be until the ritual rendezvous at the coffee shop: a big smile, a good hug, but not a word about the unreturned call. The next day I called, and was struck with the automated response, I'm sorry the number you have reached is not in service.
After a week of waiting I visited her place, but instead I found her girlfriend. Her roomate was surprised to find me looking for her. The roomate's eyes quizzically watched me with concern-- Didn't you know? She left a week ago. She had left for Korea. Several months later in autumn I passed by the neighborhood where she'd stayed, and I realized I missed her terribly; why didn't she tell me? She was a central part of my daily encounters, and just like that, she was gone. No goodbye. Eventually I quit drinking coffee altogether, but every once in awhile I'd stop by the coffee shop to order an Iced Americano.
As autumn nights grew colder, I drive to my dad's house--to remember the anniversary of my grandpa's death. He passed away on Halloween. Every Halloween since, the family is gathered to participate in a shamanistic ritual that grants his spirit to return and visit the human realm. During this ritual his spirit stays and eats with us, and then leaves. Are we shamans? The chilly fall winds welcome him as we open all the doors to the house to let him in; relatives that I haven't seen in years come to pay their respects. Each relative brings a dish that reminds them of my grandpa. When I was growing up he would take me out just me and him to enjoy the fresh persimmons at the local farm-fresh produce. Tears trickle down my cheeks as I've come empty-handed. As the first son of my grandpa's first son, it's my duty to lead my cousins; I bow and offer my grandpa's portrait the dried persimmons my aunt and uncle brought.
My grandpa spent his last weeks in a hospital bed in Korea, and I wouldn't know until about a month later. I never had the chance to tell him goodbye. That night I dream that I'm sauntering through the spring skies, enjoying a fresh persimmon.
My parents had a divorce when I was six after my dad laid a hand on my mom, and bruised her right eye. Police were called, my grandpa, much younger then, showed up to bail my dad out. On the chilly September night I sat with my grandpa on the brick-covered drive-way lamp as the cops dragged my dad away in hand-cuffs.
I wake up eight years old, sitting shotgun in my dad's '96 Maxima, it's winter and he sits in silence-- it's been two years since he last saw his son since the divorce, and has much to say to me, but I can't understand our native tongue. Almost as if to stop the tears, I hear his breaking voice, Have you been well?
Today I find myself at the place of dreams, where I walk past the frozen gardens of hyacinth and chrysanthemum under the December afternoon-- one day I'll wake up with the girl, take strolls with my grandpa and eat his persimmons, and enjoy the sight of my mother and father together.

so ive been a member of fakku for like 5 years, and i made this account to play the waifu game................ this is legit the 3rd year i haven't gottent to play because of lack of posts :[
help me
help me
before i read the two choices: "everyone should always be respected", and
"anyone wanting to be respected should earn it" I said to myself, people deserve common courtesy as long as they're not a jackass. respect in terms of respect is too much i think, especially in western society today, whereas, a lack of such isn't enough imo. i voted for b btw, because your question is a question of half empty or half full? and i wanted to say well it's in between, but i chose half empty.

I'm a 21 yr old college student from dc and i like to do a lot of stuff; i currently play poker(NL Holdem PL Omaha) for a living, but when i found this site in 2009, I was an avid manga artist that was really interested in the artwork more than the hentai here at fakku. I still love manga and drawing, you could still catch me drawing girls doing stuff on groupboard.com/demo sometimes. Ironically, I've read more manga than anime. I'm also really into girls; I find myself dating a different girl every season [either they're not for me, or i'm not for them] Currently I'm trying to get with this one girl, but she lives in her own world. im taking yoga with her [LOL yoga = insta-friendzoned], but i don't know we'll see what happens. 4 years ago I would have said I'm a kid at heart, but I find myself growing up.[interesting huh?] Academically, I'm a psych major and I plan to graduate in 2014? it seems irrelevant to me now as I've settled on a poker career, but i don't know maybe one day i'll be glad to have a degree. I've joined this site in 2010 hoping to get into the annual waifu game, but to this day I still haven't gotten enough posts to qualify to play. haha well that seems to sum up my life irl.. and here i am :]
ps: yeah i'm still trying to get into the waifu game. sucks. it really sucks that i don't have enough posts.

the takes so long... it's like a novel... and then when you come to the choices, whichever choices you choose end up with the same result...
if you haven't seen any of these, than i suggest you should; depends what you're into though
