adding insult...

i hate small dogs. everytime i see one, i want to punt it like a football.

anyway, since coming back from hk, my sleep schedule has been a bit of a mess. yesterday, i took an afternoon nap from 4pm-8pm, then went to bed at 2am and woke up this morning at 7:30am. everytime i come back to la from hk, i really want to wake up at 5am for some reason. i love being awake when the sun rises. strange, eh? i'm sure i'll get over it like i always do.

i haven't washed my car in a long time, and it's really dirty. it's nearly impossible to look out any of my windows. so today, when i went to get gas, i decided to clean all of the windows in my car. as i was doing so, some asian chick filling up behind me came over to me and asked if i went to ucla.

being the friendly guy that i am, i said yes. then she started telling me about how she got accepted there for grad school and wanted to know how it is (she went back east for undergrad). so i started telling her a little bit about ucla and how classes are generally pretty big and it's difficult to interact with professors... well at least for undergrad courses.

so she tells me that she teaches a SAT prep course out in arcadia, blah, blah, blah. then she asked if i was korean. oh great, i thought to myself.

"no," i answered her, "i'm chinese."

"oh, really? i'm chinese too."

about this time, i was ready to leave. so we shook hands and i left. i had a feeling she wanted to contact me to talk about school stuff. but there was a car behind her and so she said

"it was nice meeting you."

"yeah, same here," i replied.

so i drove off and went to do some recycling at pavilions. when i went inside to cash out, i saw her again at the starbucks there.

"oh, hey."

so we started talking again. she apologized for mistaken me for being a korean.

"it's okay."

she explains that i have certain korean characteristics... my eyes and my complexion. of course, i'm sure she was thinking about my big head.

i told her that i'm from hk, and so was she. her parents met in hk and she came to the states when she was 4 yrs old.

happy days.

then all of a sudden, she started talking about how her church (one that's across from pcc) is having some sort of free film screening for this david lynch film.

"oh, uh-huh..."

"do you have a lot of friends?"

"ah... yeah"

"oh great, if you're interested, you can invite them to it."

"yeah, that seems interesting."

WHAT THE FUCK?

i was pretty much ready to get out of there. of course, i wasn't thinking about going out with her or anything. but i was genuinely interested in talking to someone about graduate programs in education. then she went psycho christian on me. i mean seriously... that's just messed up.

and as if that wasn't bad enough, as i walked out of pavilions, i twisted my ankle. luckily, it wasn't too bad. it's a little tender now.

happy days.
