school - all A's!!
driving - you're carefree and don't have to worry because you don't drive like an Asian
sports - effortlessly pulverizing the other team into submission
gay men - term used in some locales to indicate that you're a gay men looking although heterosexual guys used to use it too in the US ("cruising for chicks"); anyway if you're out on the town cruising you're probably dressed well, feeling pretty good right? [alarming side note, while I was researching this I came across the term glory hole ew ew ew it's when there's a hole in a place like a bathroom or an adult store the guy can stick their finger through to gauge interest and if the offer is accepted you stick your penis through the hole...whaaat! REALLY anonymous sex!]
But best of all is cruise ship cruising.
You can go on a cruise for pretty cheap. There are 4-night cruises for like $160 (plus other fees im sure - and that's only if you go in November).. but that's still pretty good. If it all added up to $200, that's like $50 a night which is about how much you could pay for a hotel room. Except the cruise ship provides a tooon of food, entertainment, and you're supposed to be lazy ^_^ ALSO it takes you places and you get to be a tourist meaning eating delicious exotic food, taking lots of pictures, interacting with locals, and buying souvenirs!! You can do whatever you like.
On Friday I saw Inception. Melanie thought the ending was ambiguous but I did not. Sometimes I am really obnoxious inside of movie theatres. On Saturday we played Bananagrams with Jean which is a really awesome game.
Yesterday Lyle tried to buy beer but got the license taken because he didn't know how old he was. The gas station owner flipped out and was like I was fined $500 and wasted 3 days of my life; WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO ME!!! [[angry menacing face]]
Also yesterday I saw an old friend when I was with Lyle at this random [really nice] restaurant that I have never been to, and I was really really confused to see her. She started introducing me to everyone and I kind of freaked out for some reason not like OMG WHAT DO I DO kind of freaking but it was like I'd been drugged my brain sort of shut off I was just like cooing instead of enunciating clearly - I wouldn't be surprised if my eyes had been glazed over too. And then at the end I realized Lyle was standing right there and I should probably introduce him so I did but I didn't do a very good job of it. It was really hard because a) I was temporarily non-functional so it was hard for me to do anything b) not only did I have to introduce Lyle to Erin, but then I realized I had to introduce Erin to Lyle also..what?? c) and then afterwards I was like oh no am I supposed to introduce him to her boyfriend and his parents too?? I didn't absorb any of their names! It was very strange I just didn't know what to do. I wanted to leave.
Erin was really tan and dressed up while I was wearing leggings and a tank top and I guess it was just taking me a second to process what was going on, seeing her all the way out in Durham even though we're both in Chapel Hill? Also her skin used to be really smooth but I was taking in her forehead and really just sort of gawking at her in general. It was also extremely perplexing for me because Erin is really tall and skinny and half-Asian/half-white and her boyfriend is completely Caucasian, but the two people she introduced as his parents were this short squat (but cute) Asian lady and this white man, neither of whom looked anything like her boyfriend.
Lyle reports that I sounded confused also and that I was speaking quite slowly even for me. He thought I might have been trying to be funny, but I think he was mostly just embarrassed to be with me.
