Tuesdays are the new Saturdays

Somewhere in the middle of spending a grand on wine (that's HKD not USD or GBP or KRW) I decided whatsapping my friends boyfriend who lives in California and I've met a handful of times was a fantastic idea.  Luckily, he was pretty cool about my overshare and nonsensical jibber jabber.  Unfortunately, I was too drunk to catch all his funny jokes.

Have you been reading my blog?

Do you think I could ever get

 a book deal/TV deal??

Yes and yes
Book absolutely
TV only when you come to CA 
and take over :)

Hahaha

I want to go to that TV convention... 

Where you pitch ideas...

 Do you know what I'm talking about?

Also... What do you think of caitlin 

and all this work craziness?

The invention show?
I think she needs to do what is best for 
her and what she wants
No matter what I'm supportive

You are just so great and supportive... It's crazy

I wish you could live here!!!

Find me a job and
Maybe I will...
If Caitlin left now she would regret it 
and it would do either of us any good

Kevin... You are just so understanding

But let caitlin know you want her there

She needs to know you want her... 

But don't need her to come back

This is all crazy analytical

But I think it's right... It may be wrong

I wish you were here for my birthday!!!!

Dammit Kevin

I've told her many times and agree
Well you should be here for my bday!!
Nov. 30th!!!!
What if we all moved to a new country?

OK.. Where?!?

I'm in!!

I didn't name a country yet 
and your in??? Hahaha

Yeah.. I'm an elastic band... I'm totally adjustable

Kevin... Dude account

Are you ready?

This is probably something I shouldn't

Ask

Dude account?
Ready for what?

But u actually really like this guy I'm seeing

I do or you do?
So what's the question?

OK it's gonna get weird... 

Should I continue or stop??

Go for it

I like this guy

So I met up with him after drinking with 

you and caitlin and Emma

And after meeting his brother 

I went home with him in a cab

Yes...go on...
His brother or him?

But..  I ended going down on him in the cab...

That's really gross isn't it???

Because you were in a dirty cab or 
because you went down on him?

I feel like an uber slut

Because I went down on him

Terrible analysis

Why can't I be more in control of my own actions?!?

You really like him...and you 
want to show it...what's wrong with that?
Stop worrying about what others
 think of you and just be you
Embrace your uniqueness

Well..  That doesn't always work.. Surprise!!!

It doesn't?

Wait... What doesnt:?

Being yourself

Being myself doesn't work...

???

I'm congenial!

No you said being yourself doesn't always work
Your confusing lol
Just be you

OK... True... But sometimes it doea

I'm off my face

Who's face are you on? Hahaha

And have to be at work in less than 4 hours

Haha Omg... You don't even want to know

I'll make it. . I'm a trooper

Yes go get em champ!

Yes... I'm a champion

Are you in any way related to dr. Sues? 
And or were you born out of a dr. Sues book?
Like buddy from the movie Elf?

No... I'm from a real person

Oh that's fun...me too

HajH

I wish I were  robot right now

Robot doesn't sleep and neither do you

Yes you are right. 

. Won't be sleeping tonight

How is that possible?

You are a robot

Do you have one
Of those plutonium hearts from iron man? 
Are you secretly iron woman?
No I'm a plastic salesman

Iron man?!?!

I'd sooner take a really jest rather than a krypton tool

Was that English?

Neeeeeeeee

Of course this is what happens after work drinks on Friday.  After our usual post work 5 hours of drinking I was going to meet up with this guy I've been seeing.  He drives a scooter and couldn't find parking so told me to meet him along the street and he would pick me up.

Running across highways like idiots...but to be fair we did look both ways, and I had ran to the bar in a stroke of genius regarding running, drinking, and time saving.

It was a big highway, but we stopped in this weird nook that was like a little strip of sidewalk with a brick seat and some flowers, but walled in...so we had to do some more running

I'm still not sure what Caitlin was talking about here

Now, I realize I didn't properly explain the title of this post.  "Neeeeeeeee" is in reference to the noise Oliver's scooter makes.  Caitlin thought it was hilarious and couldn't stop imitating it.  She even took it so far to send her boyfriend a voice recording of us making the noise.  When she spoke to him the next day and asked if he got the recording he said it was just traffic noises, so I think that means we are pretty good at Neeeeeee-ing.

Super Zeros

For Halloween we have to dress up for school.  My friend Caitlin and I went as puffy superman and spiderman.  Caitlin was a winner choosing a costume with a mask, so she didn't have to smile for all the pictures, not only with the kids, there were quite a few parents who wanted pictures with us as well, not to mention the creepy stand back and lurk photo takers who were basically just getting weird candids of two foreigners in superhero costumes.  We got into the spirit though by lifting every kid onto our shoulders to show what kind of awesome superheroes we were...then we got carried away and picked up this teacher.  

She loved it.

We always put together some sort of games or "haunted house" for the students to go through and this year Jacob put together a net with thick twine streaming down and tunnel system out of cardboard.  After the party was over, we had to clean everything up.  Caitlin and I were helping take down the net and at one part it was held by some rope just out of reach.  We were still wearing our costumes and tried to be heroes.  Here is how that worked out.

If two superheroes fall silently in a school and no one is there to see it...did it even really happen??

The Day the Music Died

We had a three day weekend so some of my co-workers and I decided to go camping in Sai Kung on the beach.  Caitlin and I met at 7:30am because its kind of a mission to get there, you have to catch a couple mini buses and then hike in...and we wanted to get some Chinese steamed buns for all the bus rides. We were so excited because it was just such nice weather and we had a long weekend so we were practically running this hike (of course, I mean the downhill parts) and we were there a good three hours before everyone else showed up.  We set up all three tents so that we had an ocean view and a little bit of a rock garden area.

We rewarded ourselves with beers and splashing around in the water for all of our hard work.  Finally Jacob and Matilda and Sarah and Philip arrived, apparently the water was really rough so boats had stopped running.  So we all swam for a while and then when we went back to our tent compound some dicks had set up like 7 tents right in our ocean view.  We made a fuss and they were kind of jerks about it, but we ended up dragging our tents out from behind theirs and back to a sea view.  Jacob built an amazing fire, Caitlin and I started making smores, Jacob was playing his ukulele and we were all singing an joking and having a grand time.  It was super windy and we were getting a lot of sand in our faces...and in our s'mores, but carefree beach fun was in full swing.  SNAP, the **** to mine and Caitlin's tent shattered.  Cailtin and Jacob went back to the rental shop to sort it all out and they took our deposit, but did get us another tent.  While they were gone I used the time to challenge Philip to a push up challenge.  Sarah timed us, and I did 50 in a minute, which I was feeling pretty good about, until Philip did 70...what a dick.  When Caitlin and Jacob got back we all teamworked it into place as quickly as we could with no light and tummies full of beer chocolate and marshmallow.

Anyway, I will only speak for myself, but I think everyone else feels this way too.  I'm at a point in friendship with my co-workers where I'm so in love with it, and just creepily want to hang out with them all the time, and feel no need to have other friends, which led to this situation...

Peeing all over Asia...still

I woke up and had a vague memory of peeing somewhere I shouldn't have.  I remember looking at my watch and it being 9am and thinking awesome, I can catch the MTR home.  I went to the MTR, this would be mid Sunday morning, and I had to pee so bad.  I wedged myself into a corner, and because I was wearing a skirt I just used my hand to pull my undies to one side and peed there standing in a corner.  I thought this must be some sort of false memory, so I got out of bed and grabbed my skirt out of the laundry and smelled it, it didn't smell like urine, so that was comforting, then I smelled the shoes I was wearing...they definitely smelled like urine.  Its a miracle I haven't been arrested.
