One of the first things I did after meeting Miao online (and her showing me some of her artwork) was using my rather new at the time Magicolor 2300dl colour laser printer to print out some of her rather nice artwork.
I blue-tacked it to my university bedroom’s ceiling (coincidentally China doesn’t have blue-tack or equiv) so that I could wake up to seeing her artwork. I did this because I liked her, and wanted to impress her. She was adequately impressed, and here we are engaged to be married.
Since then I’ve quite liked the idea of having photos and pictures on my wall that have meaning for me in my life and my life together with Miao. My bedroom wall in my family home is covered with them (yes I’m living with my parents at the moment -> I have recently come home from China and still haven’t got a paying job). Some of them sometimes fall off, and I think this is a good chance for change.
I have many of my photos from China printed and laminated (maybe a little OCD) and they prove a good reminder for happy times and quite life affirming. Lots of people smiling and the interesting places I’ve been.
There we go, just another thing that makes me – me. Who says we all have to be the same?
