January Recap

So January, I didn't accomplish any of my goals.
BUT I DID DRINK A LOT. Surprise.

Recap time.

January 3: Southern Comfort at Pam's


Highlight: Finishing a bottle of SoCo and then doing the Single Ladies walk around the room.

I was singing "Take On Me"


This is Anthony, he is Korean, he is sex.


Pam has this plasma ball. And.... we broke it. It was still plugged it and there were electric bolts floating in the room. Jk.





WTF is IN Southern Comfort!?

January 6: Joe's Birthday, South BAY style!



Hehe, Old Spaghetti Factory was having a 3 dollar plate special. (which is all it's really worth! Who buys spaghetti!? YOU MAKE SPAGHETTI) And then Sake Lounge. There was no one there, we basically owned the joint!

In San Francisco, Fresca was having a 25 minimum plate special. Lol. -.-

January 17: Beer Pong at Aaron's!

There is ONE "straight guy." You have 2 guesses!



We were having a great time playing classic beer pong when Ms.Caitlin rolls in and introduces variations of flip cup: No hands, flip with tongue, chicken wing, and through the legs. A lot of spilling. Oh I love Caitlin.





While Neil gets an orgasm on Aaron's Dad's Massage Chair, Szeto pigs out with two bags of chips and a beer.



And Carl does some unflattering dancing.



So... we finished 100 cans of beer. We sobered up by wrestling and dancing.
Good College times. I mean, post college times.

January 22: Castro with Some Middle School Friends

We interact with SO many people in our lives. Why do we forget about them? We have the tools- make the connections and have a good time.


Next time you can bring your friends. So get your friends. And I get my friends. And we can be friends. Do this every weekend.


I feel cute when I hang out with Zona. Zona is hot.. and I feel cute sitting next to her. I coin the term Attractive by Association.

And that's right Lunar New Years came early. Put those crispy 1's in mai PANTS.

January 23: Super Snow Bunnies III at Alpine Meadows.

We love silver daddies. Oh Kernel!


So the car ride was amazing because there was a magic mic hooked to the tiny tv! Yay to Technology! Highlights: Cher impersonations and California Dreamin!


Drink it bitch.


MoAny made home made pizookie! And Carl's a whore. With nice legs.


Guess who? That's right! It's Arclight, the Tranny Mess from XMen 3!



Szeto and I saved time by eating our frozen homemade sandwiches on the lift. HAH. It was difficult, everything was frozen. And there's szeto with snow in his hair. He ATE THAT SHIT.

You guys, I am officially a skiier, don't hate.


January 26:Sushi Factory with Carl

15 dollar all you can eat sushi lunch. OMG. I don't how we finished this. 12 rolls.

January 30: dNb

I fucking hate this place. Except for the Jarassic Park Game. ANd I have 790 tickets on my card. WTF am I supposed to buy? A cheap stuffed animal? no thanks.

January 31: Fun in North West San Jose (Mountain View and Sunny Vale)


I love downtown Mountain View! Lots of good food! I don't have good pictures, I gotta wait for the Silver Creek girls to post them. After, I headed over to Carl's and he gave me one of his world famous haircuts. He claims that his haircuts change lives. But man, he knew my head/face was a challenge. BUt he did a great job and he basked in his "master piece" for about 10 minutes. "Now you don't like a bitch." HAH, thanks.



I have 3 cowlicks in my hair all in the same area that form a 3 in the back of my head. My mom says that means I'm clever. Other people (like everyone else) say that means I'm disobedient.


Yum! Ramen at Ramen House Ryowa! That was SO GOOD!


Then to downtown San Jose with Caitlin for some dancing. We prepartied with Caitlin's dad with some whiskey. Then walked the familiar street of downtown. That girl could cut in front of any line, but when the bouncer learned that she had two guys with her.. it was a no go. Except at Temple! HAWT! We danced a little gay... but not as gay as usual. I was feeling a bit tame that night.

Btw

I think I prefer modest boys.
...boys that say thank you and help clean up.
...boys that don't order you around or have control issues.

Sort of bothers me, even if they are joking. But even jokes have some truth to them.
Ugh x 1 million. I'm referring to my cuddle buddy... that's why I can never like him for more than a friendly pillow.

Milking that 30 Dollar Haircut

I really do need a haircut, but man, I wake up with great bed head!

Hairchive: The Conferido


My friends say it's a bit aggressive. Hah.
And don't mind the PedoSmile. LOL!

Inspired by my husband Ryan Conferido from SO You Think you Can Dance and now America's Best Dance Crew. But of course, it only looks good from one angle.


His thick processed hair protects his head from head spins. Brilliant.

Wednesday.

Who knew Chevy's had a happy hour until 7pm in the Cantina- 3 Dollar Margaritas and 3 dollar appetizers. Brilliant.

As I showed the waiter my ID, he exclaimed, "OHH Mr.LeKwon! Do you remember me?" Hmmm, he was Hispanic and had a mustache, looked about 38, "I don't think so......?"

"I am the attendant at your High School."

Good lord, that was 6 years ago and this fella still remembers me?! "Ah yes, was it because I was always late!?"

"No, I just remember you."

Oh man.
I guess among the Nguyens and the Chavezs, my last name stood out. :T

===

Cuddle Buddy.
So, I have a cuddle buddy. It's a bit strange, but comforting. Strange because it's a mutual understanding that we don't like each other like that with out the need of FRIEND BOMB comments, yet we are okay holding each other as we sleep.

I guess, because we're not attracted to one another, there is no "temptation" to fight. Which is great to keep me from being a little whore. I also think it helps that we have similar philosophies when it comes to hooking up and dating. Plus he claims to be the type of guy that "guys fall in love with." Just cuz he said that, I probably won't fall in love with him, Easy.

Heh, I no longer stand alone in the idea of platonic cuddling... but we'll see how "weird things may get." Joe argues, cuddling- there has to be some SORT of attraction. My attraction is body heat and a man pillow.

Asians Can't Drive Either

Last night, I was thrilled to attend the South Bay Queer and Asian Rap session in downtown San Jose. I had some issues finding parking and of course, I hit a car.

It was dark.

And more like I knocked out the glass on my right side rear view mirror driving too close to the side.

I'm not meant to drive.

EVAH.

I got disheartened by my stupidity that I just drove home without attending the meeting.

==

Geez, am I that rusty? Being a bad driver... "that's so Asian." That's me.

==

So thinking about it... being a bad driver, being thrifty, eating everything on my plate makes me "so Asian." (even though I argue that I makes me SOOOO Christopher.. because I know how to live on a budget and I hate wasted food). I am going to embrace these negative stereotypes and say... "yes, I am Asian and that is why I behave like that. Whatchu gonna do about it!?"

WHATCHU GONNNNA DO!??!?!
Not be my friend?! Huh!??!

Or I can be like Cathy Nguyen and FAIL to embrace the Asianess in me by saying my last name like some ignorant American void of any sort of cultural awareness. Honestly, WHO SAYS NOOYIN!?!? (If they weren't joking).

It's ONE syllable. Say...Ngwin or be funny about and say NahGuYen. But NOO-YIN!? God, to me, that's more embracing than driving into a tree because you were trying to eat all the pearls in your tea after coming back from the dollar store in your car that has plastic lined on the floor.

Vietnamese names are hard to say right... like Tuan and Ngan and Jennifer... that they have been Americanized so that it's less ugly. But I still find "Nooyin" utterly ridiculous because it's SO OFF and wrong, she might as well said her name was Cathy Johnson. To me, Your own LAST name should be introduced to others somewhat close to it's original pronunciation. By saying it so that others are comfortable, it's like you're ashamed or lazy or maybe you did lose some of your roots. But ultimately it's your last name to "adjust" so to speak.



==

But she's so pretty... and not Filipino. Sigh and not Vietnamese either.


Another Video of Cathy Noo-yen and her undeniable American Talent:

500TH POST!!

Believe it or not (including my 25 unpublished entries) this is my 500TH POST!

Thanks for reading guys!

==

Today I feel sexy. I have this sexy raspy voice and my hair is looking awesome. If only others were around to appreciate it with me.

==

I have interesting taste in guys.

I like guys who look interesting.

Maybe that's why I'm intrigued by mixed folks.

But in addition to all of that, I've discovered that I'm attracted to everything that has to do with the mouth: smile and voice.

I was watching this dude's youtube video and instantly found him adorable because of the way he talked.

So, Downelink has this "Secret Crush Game" thing where you have 5 guesses to guess who has a crush on you. I, of course, have never gotten a secret crush notification, but I did send one to the youtube guy. And.. he figured me out with in 5 guesses. Fuck.

How embarrassing. I also commented on his youtube video- can we say aggressive?

I also like guys with average bodies and who are a little bit self conscious. I like hearing them talk (with their sexy voice) about all the things they think are wrong with them so that I can make them feel better. And guys with average bodies don't parade shirtless... I like that. Because their body is mine to see and their unique facial features are mine to appreciate.

Wow.. I really AM weird.

==

I showed the picture of the YouTube guy to some friends and they said, "Oooo, He's Okay.. He's not UGLY!"

huh,.....

Which makes me feel better. I'd rather not be universally attractive and I wouldn't want to date a universally attractive guy. Some say I appreciate inner beauty... but actually, I'm just selfish.

Yes, wondering if they miss me back

If you could go back in time, how far back would you go?

Biggest annoyance right now?
When people say.. "that's so Asian" when someone is thrifty, clean or not wasteful.
ITS FUCKING ANNOYING!!! Especially when ASIAN people say it. So.. what?! You're not Asian!? Being cheap, putting plastic on your furniture and eating everything on your plate has NOTHING to do with being Asian. OTHER RACES DO IT TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UGH UGH UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the person who is reading my blog. Thank you.
