indian food buffet
already, the title of the blog post should scare you.
so i had my first taste of indian food EVER last night and it was buffet style!
let me paint you a picture. our table consisted of our plates of food (duh!) and 5 glasses of beverages. there were only 2 of us. 3 waters, 1 beer, 1 milk.
my FIRST time having indian food EVER. i don't do spicey.
which glass do you think got consumed first? um ya, milk. milk milk milk!! i think i only drank 1/10 of the pint of beer and probably half a jug of water before i realized i definitely had to order milk.
my stomach was yelling at me for betraying it's stomach lining with foreign spices.
i like to live on the edge. i will eat indian food again.

coming out of the woodwork
nothing like good bonding over an epic conert event, shared musical interests and a history of some 'fun' when reconnecting with someone after monthes of mutual silence.
today my day at work consisted of...

11am drinking
when 176 people are told AT THE SAME TIME they are all on 'work-leave' and have 12 weeks to get their shit together.
i'm just thankful for the 12 weeks, benefits and vacation that still apply in that time period.
so some 11am drinking was much needed. it was too epic. we were spread out at malones and at the cambie hostel... yes i ended up at the cambie hostel drinking beer and i believe a shot of fireball was involved! ya.. ya.. would NOT have drank that had it not already been for the copious amounts of beer i drank.

oriental
i dunno why, but just using the word oriental or in the sentance "ya'll oriental?"
we were at a pub when a man comes up to our table and just stands there smiling. 30 seconds. dead silence and eyes furiously glancing around with WTF in our eyes. was he a customer that we didn't recognize?!
then he opens his mouth. some incomprehensible southern accent is warbled out. alabama. this man is from alabama, completely drunk off his knocker, and is in vancouver for a yr as an engineer working on the rav line. how do we know this?! well b/c my friends decided to have a conversation with this stranger.
question of the night, "so what are ya'll anyway?"
i'm human, what about you?
phrase of the night, "you can't be north american, cause i know see you're eyes are not the same as mine!"
WOW.... just WOW...
FYI. i did NOT punch him in the balls.

not the brighest cookie in the jar
um hello, but in canada the legal drinking age is 18! i like how they debate if they should make the drinking age in the states 18 when at 18 you can carry a firearm... gee i wonder why there are so many f'd up ppl in the states!!
at least in london they've got it right. knives... knives are the way to go. more viscious. i hope i don't turn into a knife stat while i'm there!

inconvenience
wtf, i had forgotten my password to my blog site, but i swear to gawd it was the password i've always been using... i think google's just trying to mess with my head. nonetheless, do not panic, i am here. though i did panic for about 30 seconds when i thought i could never blog again! god forbid.

it's been awhile...
hi, sorry i haven't posted, it's been awhile, plus a lot of stuff i would post about just isn't quite rated b (for blog) enough as i'm smart enough to realize this could potentially be read by future employers, lovers, ex-lovers, enemies, and oh yes frienemies... hah yet, i'm okay to rant about what a total loser i am...
needless to say, i'm fine. sorting thru life. looking forward to my euro trip.
will update with some fun in due time.

mad skillz
so i had lunch with my uber busy, super smart friend, shirls the other day.
shirls - "ya so i'm terrified, b/c i can't swim-"
me - "WHAT!?"
shirls - "i can't ride a bike either..."
my dear, did you not have a childhood?! kidding, kidding, i'm not knocking your parents parenting skills, just... what happens if you were thrown into water and then told to ride a bike afterwards?
some skills are just required in life...

"Ps – I’m all for laughter but lets make sure we don’t disturb others working…just a notch or two down is all. :) "
no more laughter. ever.
sad face. forever.

smiles
so i tried smiling this morning rather than my usual deadpan morning face that i put on with my sunglasses... u know sometimes it's just less effort to crack that smile. Anyway, this morning I decided to put on a half-smile, at least so I didn’t look growly or pouty, when getting my starbucks, and lo and behold, cute guy, no edit, cute MAN, smiles BACK AT ME, in my head I’m like wtf, what you smiling at?!, but the guy keeps smiling at me
he: oh you must be on vacation to be smiling like that
me: no, no, not on vacation. Just really happy that’s warm and sunny outside
more smiles from the both of us J J
more chit chat
me internal: oh good god don’t look like a douche
he: you just made my day smiling like that!
oOOooo
incidentally, we reach the door together, he holds it open for me, WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE!? And we walk outside.
End of story.
Beginning of a great day.
Yes, all it takes are 2 mins of random smiling and chit chat to make myself feel better.
I think I’ll try this smiling bit more.

BE.TRAY.AL
that's right ms chu. that's right.
it goes in the blogger.
2 MONTHES?! i get why... but... but... and but...
literally, every one of my single, or so i thought single, girls are being de-singlized (i dun care if that's not a word, it is now!) by these BOYS. BOYS ARE TROUBLE, TROUBLE LIKE COPS.
I still believe, shirls, i still believe. as proven by the fact they've taken over my ladies.
pout.

random
is when the gf of a co-worker adds you on facebook when i've only spent about 30 mins total in her presence over a span of 4 visits to their apartment... um... stalker?
I. DON'T. EVEN. KNOW. YOU.
i've hung out with your bf though. is THAT what you're afraid of?!
needless to say i accepted her 'friend' request, but pretty much blocked everything else on my profile. what can i say, i'm just as curious now about her as she is of me?! plus what if she accuses me of facebook ignoring the next time i see her? awk.ward...
