So...after class my good friend A (who knows how to sew) graciously accompanied me to the craft store to help me buy some materials for a last minute costume for the school party(my very best school friend organised it and would kill me if I did a no show- now I'm back in the city I have no valid excuse to party poop either LOL...the funny part was, already expecting me to be antisocial I found out she even pre-engaged a chaperone to make sure I don't end up sitting in a corner-unbelievable! LOL-extroverts don't understand us introverts at all - we are perfectly happy to sit in a corner, to not be noticed, resting instead of having to expend energy socialising with a whole room of complete strangers and we very much enjoy being able to people watch in peace!
Anyway with A, it was really fun just walking and talking and stopping along the way to indulge our love of food...a new discovery for me were the pretzels at the German Bakery- Yum!
Basically it's all about good company :) And despite all the negativity I feel in the city from the way cityfolk are relative to countryfolk, A is one of the two people in the world I never have any difficulty feeling UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for all the time....she is so heart of gold sweet it really makes my day to be around someone so wholesome, pure and decent :-)
I still feel really cranky re: selfish people, insincere people, people who have ulterior motives and mean-spirited intentions, takers, exploiters, bitchy types, calculating types, shallow people, pretentious people, fairweather 'friends' and inconsiderate people...basically that covers most locals I seem to have met in this city to date(!)
anyway before this post gets too aburrida I thought it'd be fun to note my favourite of the search terms I noticed so far that landed people at my blog...
"brain tricking images"
"new words for cool"
"the art of self confidence"
wow I was impressed...so intellectual, sane and G rated compared to many others I've seen!
Other random revelation: I feel like a kid cos I have blue glitter sprinkles all over my nails :-)(part of costume and I couldn't find blue nailpolish)...anyway busy day/night/weekend ahead so NEED TO SLEEP! *wan an* (that's me speaking toneless mandarin ;)

Hey! You ARE a kid, kid! :)
hey Kathi D, thanks for reminding me :)! I often forget cos you know how sometimes you're actually a kid but you were forced by circumstance to GROW UP WAY BEFORE YOUR TIME?! yeah well that's been me...I'm starting to realise it also comes down to personality/character- ie reliability, givers, strong, independent types...not just how old you are(coming from a hierarchical culture that's what I was conditioned to believe) but sometimes I just go *SIGH* let me be youthful!!!
What costume requires blue nail polish?
A smurf? A blueberry? Gimmie a hint!
Shannanigans, LOL both very good guesses and weirdly 2 of my Most Favourite Blue things in the world! :-)
However you gotta remember this was a last minute no costume shop "costume"- it ain't that exciting LOL and even though being a blueberry would be seriously cool and always wanted a skin colour change a) was not able to acquire face paint and b) I hate being noticed. PERIOD!
