moral fiber

"Moral fiber. So, what is moral fiber?
It's funny, I used to think it was always telling the truth, doing good deeds, basically ... being a fucking boy scout.
But lately I've been seeing it differently.
Now I think moral fiber's about finding that one thing you really care about.
That one special thing that means more to you than anything else in the world.
And when you find her, you fight for her. You risk it all, you put her in front of everything, your future, your life, all of it.
And maybe the stuff you do to help her isn't so clean.
You know what? It doesn't matter. Because in your heart you know, that the juice is worth the squeeze.
That's what moral fiber's all about."

A speech of the main character in "The Girl Next Door", which I watched it tonight. I like it.

roommates

My roommates left LA tonight. They are going back to China and will come back after one year. I have been living with them in the same apt for more than two and half years. We were kind to each other, just like the members in a same family. I think I am lucky that I know many good friends here, especially my roommates. We never quarreled with each other and we helped each other a lot. I have a good memory with them.

Tomorrow my new roommates will move into this apt. They are also my good friends. A new life will start.
