X​​X​​X​​X​​X​​X​​X​​X​ assorted Emily things:
Her sitting on my leg, either normally or straddling it, as she takes phone calls
Her slightly crazy eyes. Sad that I din't have a picture of her crazy face
On the other hand, the expression of vulnerability or perhaps dumbfoundedness sometimes when we make out
How her English is kind of clunky. And her Chinese is very good
Hugging her
T + 2 days: both mornings, she has been my first thought when I wake up
That time when I came out of the bathroom and saw her getting food, so I approached and playfully lightly hit her on the shoulder. Before and as I did so, a smile spread accross sic her face. It seemed like she was trying not to smile, but could not help herself. (This event gave me quite a bit of lasting confidence and the sense that I successfully "got" her.)
When holding hands on the bus, if she needed to use her hand for a moment on her phone, she'd sometimes move the phone to her hand so that we could keep holding hands, and would also sometimes use my thumb instead of her own.
She would say "hmm" a lot. Not as a response, just as a complete unit. Often short and pitched as if to say, "hm. look at that."
