buying friends + i'm sorry needles

i remember this episode where monica and co. forked out USD$50 each for the 24-state lottery. and when the others found out that monica had bought additional tickets for chandler and herself, the others went mad and reprimanded her. the conversation went something like this...
rachel: trust me, if you win, that'll be the last you'll see of us.
monica: fine! don't be my friends. i'll buy new friends. and i'll pay for their plastic surgery so they'll look just like you.
no i didn't win the lottery but i still bought friends. friends dvd, that is. after so many years of saying i want to collect the entire friends series, i've finally started doing something about it. i've thought of saving $1000 and buy all at one shot but i never manage to do that. even if i did save up to 1k, i doubt i would be willing to part with it like that, so i guess i'll just buy season by season. i'm wondering why the first season has a different packaging and it costs like $380-over. and they didn't even have excerpts, blurbs or even brief introductions. even the number 1 looked like a 7. so for many years, i've been wondering why season 7 had such a special packaging.
well well, i must have done something terribly wrong to needles in my previous life. this life, they are taking their revenge on me. i've had needles in almost every part of my body that you can think of and that you can't think of. *0_0* forget about the common arms and butt jabs. i'm talking about every other part besides that. i believe not many will experience as many needles as i have. i'm beginning to suspect i was 曹操 and the needles are 华陀. i'm sorry, i should've believed you.
no idea what i'm talking about? go read romance of the three kingdoms. it's a good epic. though i stopped reading for like 2 years at the chapter where 孔明 won 7 straight battles without fighting. someday i'll finish it. someday. i'm not going to say when. it's like 2 volumes of 60 chapters each. i'm tired. if you think my chinese is really good to be reading this, i'll let you in on a little secret. i'm reading it in english. muwahahahaha... so 曹操 becomes T'sao t'sao and 孔明 becomes K'ung Ming. But these are the mild ones. i can't make out who the characters are for some of the translations but it's ok. those people die within a few pages so i guess they're some minnows.
how did i get to talking about romance anyway? i'm sure it's nothing to do with valentines' though.
