sorry to do this to you again, but it’s another round of random rundown… i think i communicate better in list-format anyway.
1. today i re-learned how to make a paper crane, thanks to Cake (the person, not the food).
2. i taught Cake what a Drag Queen was and also the word crap.
3. i went shopping after work. i know this might sound strange, seeing as i’m a female, but i actually don’t enjoy shopping. i’m not talking about grocery shopping… i mean like, “shopping” shopping. i only tend to go when i have something in mind that i want to purchase… like a scarf! that’s what i bought, of all things, but it shouldn’t surprise you. this talk of purchasing a scarf brings me to…
4. my birthday is a mere 12 days away! ryan asked me what i wanted and i could only think of a few things. one of them happened to be this scarf. it’s strange because anytime people ask me what i want for my bday, christmas, etc – i always tell them “i don’t know” because in my head i’m thinking “i can just buy it myself.” …like i did with this here scarf. sometimes i think it makes people feel bad because they want to get me something i like, and i then i go and buy it myself. and then thinking about how i potentially made someone feel bad makes me feel bad. i’m just not good at relinquishing control, i suppose. i don’t know. i do know i have been like this for a very long time.
5. ah, yes. i have to go into the office tomorrow… which is saturday. the ceo of our company (who is based out of australia), is preparing to give a presentation of our product. however due to some “glitches” (we’ll call ‘em), a lot of our work was not properly saved. sooo that means we have to put in some extra time. i’m okay with this because i’m a workaholic… and i actually think i’ll be reading different-formatted scripts for this particular presentation, so that’s something to look forward to.
6. speaking of work, we have a “maid” that works there and she does maid-like things. one of those tasks is going out to get us lunch and bring it back. well, she recently found out about my newfound love for guava and has brought guava back everyday without me asking. she is so sweet. it baffles me how selfless Thai are. …i like her a whole lot.
7. so as i was walking out of the shopping center today, i hopped on a motor-taxi toward home. well as we were pulling away, a bus of children pulled up beside us. i looked up at them and they looked down at me and, based on their expressions, i think i was the first westerner they had ever seen. it was priceless.
8. is it normal for fish to move their mouth like they are talking?? my fish do this all the time and i don’t know if fish are supposed to. yesterday i was giving them different voices and i even gave them their own language. it kinda sounds like “meerrr mee moo maaa waaa aaaa” but you have to run those all together to say it correctly. but Smacky ended up sounding like ms. swan, of madtv fame. “yeah you look-a-like-a me you look-a-like-a him. you know da guy. da hey yoooouu.”
9. i use skype quite a bit, at work and home, and i always have random joe-shmoe pervs skype me! it’s tricky because i have the type of friends who would play a joke on me, like “guess who”, so i want to answer, but then again it could be a joe-shmoe perv and they give me the heebie jeebies. maybe i should give people a code word, so i know they’re not a joe-shmoe perv… like… “ollie ollie oxen free!” i like it! yeah, so if you skype me and we’re not currently skype friends, you have to say “ollie ollie oxen free” otherwise i won’t talk to you.
10. why is it i always have so much to say… and always about nothing of any great consequence? i don’t know who reads this thing… but i appreciate it. thanks for listening to my meaningless jabber. happy friday, dear reader.
