Korean Pick-Up Attempt

Apparently people get finicky when I don't post for awhile.. the reason for the lack of posts is that I haven't done anything of note...

I've had more apartment announcements that I have no idea what they mean... usually multiple times a day

It is still cold, and we got more snow on Saturday... however it has slightly melted and now it's brown and gross and slippery

I've eaten some more delicious food and drank way too much sub-par beer...it's too cold to do much else

Work, is work.. although today was an awesome day where the kids all loved the lessons and even my middler school students talked to me without much force.


Oh I do have a story...On Saturday I managed to hurt my ankle, jaw and knee all in the span of 12 hours...all of which were alcohol induced. Obviously the ankle thing was when I fell down the stairs, there shouldn't be any surprise there. The jaw thing we're still not sure how it happened, but it was bad.. thankfully today it's a bit better. My knee popped out on my walk home after crashing at my friend's place until the subway opened. It hurt, I fell... and tried not to cry. After all of that I basically didn't get out of bed on Sunday, I figured it was for my own safety.


Oh there is a funny story that happened, and I KNOW that my family will appreciate it... Saturday we went to a club (Boss Boss again) where we planned to danced the night away.  Again we were the only foreigners there, and it was very obvious. Point and case: all of a sudden a Korean pop song would come on and everyone on the dance floor (besides us) broke out into a choreographed dance. It was unreal, I actually stopped dead in shock and then fought with my stupid new camera to try and take a video.. which I still don't know how to do. Anyways, back to the story... I got sidetracked. So we were dancing and these 2 girls were trying to dance with Jeff, so I tell him to dance with them and all of a sudden two more come over and we're all dancing. Then one leans in and here is the conversation:

K-Girl: Where you?
Me: What?
K-Girl: You, from where?
Me: Canada
K-Girl: ahh.. you with him? (pointing at Jeff)
Me: (laughing) no no
K-Girl: (smiles, moves closer and starts rubbing my back/ass)
Me: (immediately leave the dance floor)

So ya, that was awkward. I knew the family would love to hear about the first time a girl tried to pick me up in Korea. Sorry to break it to you, but I hope it is the last. I have enough trouble trying to reject men (which I did have to send a rejection text to the NZ guy I went on a date with... awkward and I felt like an asshole), now I have to worry about rejecting women too? Sigh... I just want to drink and dance with my friends... is that so hard to ask. Anyways, here is a picture... the creeper girl is in the Bill Cosby style sweater..man she's not even cute... (the pic was obviously taken before the attempted pick up went down).

She's pretty hot, she must have been drunk and very lonely to be hitting on you.

Joe, I'm going to block you unless you start being nice

I don't think blocking me would be a good idea, the few visitors that do see your blog, only come here to see what I've written.
