Cooking By the Book!

I haven't laughed this much at a video in ages!!!!
Thanks Ryan. This is sooo 2008!

Honest Eating

I just had a wonderful dinner with the boy tonight... and I've realized that I'm dramatic.

He understood that our schedules didn't match and appreciated the moments we could spend together. He wasn't frustrated, he was understanding (unlike me). He was positive, cheery and sweet. I felt foolish for being so needy- after all, being casual is what I told him I wanted.

He took me to an Argentinian restaurant and we shared a delicious rib eye steak.

"How do you like it cooked?" he asked
"Medium Rare." I responded
"AH! And you said we weren't compatible!" He wasn't playing any game.. he was being funny and honest...
"Food is where we connect." I told him.

But food isn't enough to get me to think about us in a serious way. But... serious is what I wanted to avoid this whole time! I am ridiculous.

I asked him about his inability to make eye contact. He explained that he was raised to look away while talking to others because looking straight in the eye is confrontational. My social psychology class kicked in. "I've heard about this! But never have I witnessed someone with that sort of mindset!" I was more interested than offended as most Americans would take the avoidance of eye contact as reason for suspicion.

Initially I would move my body to where he was looking, but he didn't notice that I was being weird until I said, "why are you looking over there?"

Things that annoyed me about him cleared up... the reasons are simple, his motives are transparent and I guess his honesty in addition to his taste in food will keep me coming back. Plus I do enjoy his company- when I can reach him.

And his bad communication skills (e.g. phone off by 10, rarely picks up and doesn't chat) that I HATE with such a passion (which he explains is just a bad habit) will just allow me to allot time to others... ...

Couch Surfers

My roommate loves to host strangers at our place using www.couchsurfer.com. I think it's because he was once a couch surfer himself and appreciates the human interaction. In either case, people come in and out of our house pretty often.

My other roommates and I advised him to screen the people he lets into our house after one of them made "harmless" sexual advances at us.

My roommate informed us that he's gonna host a couple from Montreal who supposedly hitched hiked their way to California with no job or apartment.

Upon arrival, they seems nice.. smelled like homelessness, but no red flags appeared until the guy removed his shoe to expose a prosthetic leg. "Oh God. What's going on?!"

The other roommates and I were gossiping around the crevasses of the already full house that contained three roommates and two guests.. so that makes 8 people in the house and one bathroom. But we make it work.

I hid my laptop and went on my way to work the next day. When I came home my roommate told me a funny story:

I was walking upstairs into my room [where the couple was staying] and found the girl straddling the guy... they were completely clothed. I cleared my throat and said, "umm ummm.. do you want coffee? " Once they saw me, the girl quickly jumped off, embarrassed and said, "he made me do it!!"

Wow.
They asked to stay one more night, but my roommate (appropriately) kindly refused. BUT he already has another guy lined up... this one being gay and 23... sounds like trouble.

I just wish I had a lock on my door instead of a staircase.

So sweet... so cute... yummmmy.
More Asian guys knocking up white girls FTW!!!!!!

Dating A.D.D.

Schedules Unmatched

The boy that I've been dating asked me what I liked about him because I have him mixed signals over the weekend.

He wanted to know what was right with the relationship instead of what's wrong. It was easier for me to come up with a list of things that I don't like about him... which is an indication that ... we aren't just incompatible, but in general, I'm just not that into him. like I thought I was.

The main thing I'm having trouble with is how difficult it is for me to reach him. With my schedule, it's hard for me to schedule dinners, but yesterday I was available and hoped he would be too.

After an awkward conversation with him after work we got frustrated with eachother, we got disconnected and neither of us tried to call each other back. I spent the evening watching TV by myself and moping around my empty house because it was raining and I was hoping to spend a romantic evening listening to acid rain fall onto the polluted streets of LA.

I think I'm having dinner with him on Friday... and we should talk. I like how cute he is, how he knows good food, how he loves the beach, how he's honest... but if I can't communicate, if I can't reach him, it doesnt work. Just like LA... there are so many cool places and things to do, but it doesnt matter because the traffic is so bad and there's no parking.

Then I hopped online and started to chat with Crazy Religious boy.. who I will now call.. Crazy Jesus Lover....

The Crazy
I've been chatting with Crazy Jesus Lover online and he is oddly flirtatious and flatters me so much and I just eat it all up as if I was at a Vegas buffet. I also talk to him on the phone at 10PM because the guy above TURNS OFF HIS PHONE AT THAT TIME! ARG!

Okay this is the crazy part...

In the middle of our chat he asks me, get this, "would you like me to pray for you?.... I don't know if you believe in God or not, but if you have anything on your mind, I'll do a little prayer."

WTF WTF WTF?!?!?!?! I fell off my seat, I couldn't come up with anything witty, so I just sat their with my mouth open until he changed the subject.

THEN... Get this.. he says, "Want to see a picture of my ex?!"

WTF WTF WTF!?!?!?!? He sends a picture, and it's of this fairly attractive scruffy white dude. I don't get what he's getting at. I think he's crazy. Crazy Koreans.

The next day I asked him why he send me a picture of his ex and he responds, "because he's a Gemini."

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!???????????

Don't get me wrong, God is great, but I don't think normal folks (gay folks) are so forward with their religious intentions.

PEOPLE IN LA ARE OUT OF THEIR MIND!
I'm done... and this where I find myself contacting people I've previously dated, like Jimmy and James. Sigh.

I miss you guys, I miss bay area boys, you're not insane.

Or maybe it's me, I seem to have "dating A.D.D."

Car On Fire

Sandy called me, "dude, there's a car on fire in front of your house.. there are firemen"

I called Sam immediately after to check up on him, "hey, where are you? there's a car on fire in front of our house"
"Yeah... that's my car." Sam replied.

Apparently there was a leak. He was driving it, there was smoke so he parked then it proceeded to catch on fire. Sam didn't know what to do and ran around like a gay boy whose car was on fire... hmm. yeah.

I missed the action, but the photos above are from the day after. The front of our house smells like burning.

I hope Sam buys a scooter!

Stop Inviting the Drunk Uncle into these Songs

Lil Jon is like that drunk Uncle that ruins speeches by blurting nonsences at the climax.
"I'm ALReADY Drunk!!!"
"Let's GO!"
"DO YOU reMEMber!?"
"HEY!!"
"This is for ALLL the LADDDDIES"

I feel like they're just using sound clips that he pre-recorded!

The above is a great Jay Sean song (with NO Autotune..i think, thank God), but then Lil Jon fucking ruins it with his maddness.

SHUT THE FUCK UP UNCLE JON!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!
He is SO not invited to my wedding.

Though I do like the beginning, it's like roll call! "Lil JON!!" "Seanny Paull..." Ridiculous, time to get an iPod to listen to old songs.

Can you imagine if Lil Jon was featured in like... Celine Dione songs?
