I was up at 6:30

Nothing ever good comes from that… also, slow-ass drive into work today due to it snowing cats and dogs outside although if dogs were falling outta the sky it wouldn’t be so bad and my Chinese-ness (haw haw bad Asian-eat-dog joke here).

And then cold snap for the rest of the week!

How werez your classes yester-night?

classes weren’t too terrible. Translation lasted all of 5 minutes (best one EVAR), dialectical reasoning was with the prof who talks to geese, and cinema was interesting. rehearsal was fine, except I’m one of the most statically charged people ever.

I’m one of the most statically charged people ever.

You left out an important detail, do you get shocked or do you shock others? Because one is fail but the other one is full of deliciously evil fun.

I had a history teacher in high school who talked to cows and she would always tell us stories about her conversations with them, but I didn’t mind since she had a great blend of hawtness and cute.

Reality

has nothing to do with this. She needs to tempt someone, and you’re here. That’s all. Nothing personal. If someone else was here, it could be them.

Besides, tempting on the internets is way different from tempting in real life, so you’re good.

Well-aged indeed. I’ll have you know that I’ve used “kids” to refer to a group of people since I was in the ninth grade, so I don’t think it is that.

Plus? I’m in no way well-aged, except that like a well-aged wine, I’m nice and tasty. Other than that? No comparison.

so

in the past 3 days, I have learned that 4 people got engaged.
Four!!!!!!!!!!!!
That makes 5 weddings this year!
Fortunately, my bro-in-law is getting married in Japan so we won’t go to that one, one is a guy who holds grudges so since he wasn’t invited to our wedding we won’t be invited to his, another one is a second marriage so they’re having something super small, and one more is my husband’s friend but he hasn’t seen much of her in the past year so we’re not sure if we’ll be invited, and then one of my best friends who I have no idea how involved I’ll be, but we’ll definitely be invited!
It’s like engagement overload here…

I don’t really find babies cute. They’re just…there

I do squeal for puppies, however. I find most puppies cuter than babies. Besides, puppies don’t grow up to be teenagers that hate you and do drugs.

I don't mind babies

But they irritate me because they remind me that I’m old and un-cute and have the uncanny ability to take attention away from me no matter what I do.

My nephew on the other hand is a different manner, since I guess there’s a more personal connection there.

I’m with you LD and I’ve had two babies.

I don’t get the big deal about them when they’re really little. Until they’re mobile, they’re really just eating/crying/pooping machines.

We really encouraged our daughter to be mobile. She crawled really early (five months) and we thougth we were great parents. Then we realized it just meant she could get into trouble easier and quicker and we had to be way more vigilant.

When our son was born we kept joking that we were going to keep knocking him over so he wouldn’t learn to crawl or walk.

I usually really like kids, but my nephews-in-laws are just a couple of total unruly brats. The parents do a terrible job cracking down on them and they just run wild like a couple of apes.

Weirdly, they only seem to act like that when their parent(s) are around. If I’m looking after them they snap into line pretty quick. Still kind of whiny and spoiled, but they know I won’t stand for none of their crap.

it’s the parents who determine how they’ll react…

we were very low key and felt incredibly inept, like everything we did had been done before, better. still, don’t take that wrong, we had a blast.

it’s a social life killer though. we retreated into parenthood and stopped doing much of anything for the first two or three years…

Sometimes life really is like a rat moving down the belly of a snake

About ten years ago, so many of our friends were getting married that my wife and I would often have to split up on weekends in June. She’d attend the weddings of her friends or relatives and I’d go to the weddings of my friends or relatives.

There were so many showers and engagement parties that we were on a first-name basis with the staff in the wedding registry departments.

About seven years ago, all of our Sunday afternoons became booked with baby showers. Tonnes of ’em. We learned to go “oooh” and “aaah” as receiving blankets and bunnykin bowls were unwrapped around us.

Five years ago, my sister inflicted the same madness on our friends and family by throwing us a massive baby shower (and everyone oohed and aahed over the onesies, knitted caps and bath accessories).

Then sadly, about two years ago, our friends’ parents started getting sick and, in four cases, dying.

Enjoy those babies and weddings – there are drinks and finger foods during the next phase, but it’s not as much fun.

(and I really didn’t mean for this to sound as bad as it now reads…)

you should convince one or more friends to run to Vegas and hold a cookout or something when they get back. MUCH less stress on everyone. I know that’s what I’d do (try to convince others to go Vegas)

We did just a nice service with a marriage commissioner at a really nice Bed n Breakfast (the weather cooperated so it was outside, even) and then had dinner at a nearby restaurant.. I think it was 16 people, just close family, and it was great. There were a few minor stresses in the planning but overall it was a breeze.

After all, it’s what you do in the years after the wedding that is the important stuff, right? People who spend 100k+ on a wedding just baffle me.

I err... avoid weddings

I have gotten invitations to like 3 or 4 so far and everytime I just make excuses not to go. The good thing is that all my relatives with the exception of two aunts are all married and have their own families, and those two aunts will never marry.

Also in terms of grand children, my brother is the oldest and I’m third oldest, my brother is already married which makes me as the only grand child who is even dating, so none of my cousins are dating or will get married any time soon.

Basically, friends weddings I can avoid, and so far no one in my family will be married anytime soon, w00t!

I don't know

A friend of mine dated a stripper, and we loved it, because she was a lesbian and used all the scads of money she made to buy us drinks all night. It changed my perspective, a bit.

I'm not jaded, I'm just realistic.

i'm sure...

there are tons who enjoy it and love what they’re doing. i’m just familiar with the skanky ones who are all drugged up and don’t even realize what they’re doing…hollywood, land of dreams and all that.

i’ve known a few really sweet girls who are now strippers and are completely strung out.

i’m just bringin every one down now, seriously, i’ll stop

First off, Montreal traffic is bad because Montreal drivers are effing nuts and drive like maniacs on purpose.

Richmond traffic is bad because Chinese people don’t know how to drive, they drive bad intentionally, they just can’t operate motor vehicles in a safe or non-idiotic manner because we lack the genes/chromosomes to do so.

Funny but true story

When I was working at McDonald’s, two chinese ladies came in and tried to get me to accept a coupon that clearly has “VALID ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES” printed on it. They kept arguing with me and I refused to accept it, so they relented and ordered.

As I was getting their drinks they started insulting me and calling me names in frigging cantonese right behind my back. My only thought was how dumb can you be to insult a chinese people in chinese thinking he won’t understand you?

Anyway, I pretended not to know what was going on, and after I got their order together, I smiled politely at them and said “have a good day, don’t fall and die on your way out” in cantonese, haha their expression was priceless, like they just shat their pants.

Yeah Montreal is scarier than Richmond for driving.. I find in richmond you can stare the other drivers down if you get eye contact, if you stare the drivers in montreal they just get a scary grin and drive twice as crazy.

Plus the overpasses are collapsing on you as you try driving around, with potholes the size of open gravel pits.
