I Am A Magnet For Crazy Guys

Oh my life is extremely weird, yet again, I’m a weird person…but I’m not sure if I deserve getting chased and harassed by crazy men.  In this post, I’m going to walk you through the last two crazy ass men I’ve encountered…it’s an awesome journey and my friends are still laughing about it (unfortunately).

While ago me and friends went to a gothic nightclub downtown.  I was wearing a rose colored anime wig and all black.  This nightclub is actually awesome, great dance floor and it’s dark and you can just let loose and be yourself.  So, I was dancing and jumping up and down.  My friend noticed there was a guy following me and took a glance.  When I tell you, he looked like the type of guy that would stuff me in the back of his trunk….I’m not lying.  He was old, short and wearing camo, his eyes were red and locked on me (the girl with the pink wig).

To test out the theory of whether or not he was really following me around…I starts dancing to other areas of the dance floor.  It was extremely weird, every move I made, he made a move closer to me.  Then I started hiding behind friends and trying to hop around quickly so he’d lose me (though I’m not sure if hopping really helped my cause).  Though during this time  a vampire goth stopped to inquire why I was hopping around.  I said, “I like hopping”.  Then he said that it’s dangerous..and then I stopped hopping…then he went away.  I’m not sure whether that guy was legitimately concerned about me dangerously hopping or he wanted to see my boobs bounce up and down.

Once I stopped being bothered with that guy, I continued trying to avoid the weirdo.  At one point I got tired and told my friends I had to use the restroom.  Once I sprinted towards the exit, the guy literally was running after me.  So instead of actually exiting, I thought I could lose him by making a sharp turn to the other side of the dance floor.  This probably would have been a better strategy if I didn’t have on a pink wig, but nonetheless I started running around the dance floor.  Eventually I fell and some goths acted like they cared.  Then I ran back towards my friends and he was still coming after me so I ran towards the exit and to the restroom area.

A couple of my friends who didn’t know what was going on chased me to make sure I was okay.  Back on the dance floor a guy friend actually stopped the crazy dude and told him to stop following me.  Apparently the guy said he was only interested in seeing my dress.  Kind of obvious, even by my clothing in the club darkness that I wasn’t wearing anything that looked like a dress.  Eventually I came back to the dance floor and the crazy guy mysteriously disappeared.  Later, we danced to industrial electronic music and laughed about it afterward.  And….they are still laughing about it.

Now onto the recent weird.  So me and a friend went to an art showing and then to a local hangout bowling and bar spot.  Right when I walk in, I notice a guy sitting alone on the couch with a drawing pad and he looked right at me.  We went to get pizza and sat a few tables behind him.  I was sitting facing his back and my friend was sitting to my right.  I kept noticing him turn around to look at us but I didn’t think anything of it.  Then he quietly approaches our table…and stands there…til I stop being awkward and said, “hello?”.  He came over, so quietly that my friend jumped up after looking over…and normally, she doesn’t jump at anything.  He attempts to talk extremely quietly and then suggest we were drunk because we kept asking him to repeat what he said.  He then hands us the caricature he drew of us and then asked me what I did and if I worked.  Then he asked if I worked for free, I said no.  It eventually led to him insinuating that we should pay him for the picture, and I paid him a few dollars.  Then after a few more questions, he insinuated that we were drunk and that I was a lesbian.  Then he offered his hand for me to shake….of course I shook it, then he kissed it.  However, he did not kiss my friends hand because apparently she wasn’t hot enough for him.

Then he left, and we continued to eat and talk about how weird he was.  I noticed he went to go get pizza and was there at the counter for a really long time.  Eventually, he started walking towards us with his pizza, but went to the bar to get water…we thought we were in the clear…but no, no we weren’t. He then sat at our table to ramble about something.  Then again he tried to shake my hand…of course again, I was being nice and shook his hand.  Then he tried to kiss it but this time I tried to snatch back my hand.  However, he was extremely strong in gripping my hand and pulled me over to kiss it.

I then started to get a headache because of all of the laughing I was doing from being nervous and feeling awkward so I proceeded to just leave.  So there you go, my two main run-ins with crazy ass guys.  Trust me, there are more, but that might require a book.

Walking On Garbage And Posting Signs

That’s the industrialized part of Detroit as we were leaving last Tuesday morning.  We were going to meet up with others so that we can go around posting signs along the Detroit river about advising people on what fish they should and shouldn’t eat, due to contamination.  Normally, the bottom feeders such as catfish are the ones you don’t want to eat.

So the first location we went to go put up signs was probably the second worst.  The first worst place was the last location and I didn’t get many pictures…more on that later.  So at the first place it was near the bridge to Canada (?) I guess…or possibly a bridge to Nowhere, but I’m not sure.

I did manage to get those urban decay photos I wanted.  This area of Detroit is really bad.  There’s so many closed business and dangerous areas.  When I finally got the chance to learn how to post the signs about fish consumption, some guy came over and said people aren’t going to pay attention to those signs.  He suggested we just toss them into the water….of course, we didn’t though.  He’s probably right though.  I doubt many will pay attention, fish and fishing is extremely important here and telling people what and what they should eat is hard to do.  But, it’s necessary for people’s health.

Anyways, the Michigan state worker showed us how to post the signs and he was impressed by my quick metal cutting ability.  Then the lab manager said that means she might be able to beat us up lol.  Next, our stop was at Belle Isle.  It was a nice day to be there.  Belle Isle is the big city park of Detroit.  It’s an island and you can easily see Canada.

Ummm…I have no idea what most of these buildings are.  Pretty sure one of them is the planetarium (?) and one is lighthouse.  So parts of Belle Isle was seriously trashed over the holiday weekend.  The next place we went to go post signs, I think I found a bottle of urine.  At least it looked like urine and when I was kicking it, the lady with us said, “you don’t wanna know what’s in that“.

I didn’t take a picture of that bottle ….OR DID I?!

That’s me in the picture btw lol After that, the people which is me, students and the lab manager put up a sign by ourselves without the Michigan state people.  When we got there, there was no good place to post the sign except on a light pole.  I’m pretty sure we weren’t supposed to do that but oh well.  When we started to put on the sign, found out SOMEONE put on the metal bracket wrong.  Of course, in blame game, I point out that the lab manager put it on wrong.  Which technically he did and even acknowledged it.  Then the rest of the day when putting on the brackets, he double checked with me to see if he’s doing it right lol.

After Belle Isle we stopped  in another place, which was a slightly nicer slice of Detroit with big houses and nice park area.  It was a pretty nice nature habitat and park area that we went to.  We were all hungry so as we were putting up the signs we were talking about our favorite type of meats.  I pointed out that I actually don’t like catfish or chicken.  A girl in our lab is from Dubai and she apparently loves chicken and sushi.  Another weird girl that talks a lot said she likes turkey and chicken.  The other adults said they like catfish, hate deer and love salmon…but I think we all loved salmon.

After posting the signs at Belle Isle, we stopped for some lunch at McDonald’s.  After complaining about how I don’t like chicken, I ended up getting the chicken sandwich at McDonald’s I think I just got it only because others got it.  Anyways, it taste good only cause I soaked it in a lot of packets of ketchup.  The last place we stopped was the dirtiest place.  The only glimmer of hope was this migrating bird which was outgoing enough to approach us and we gave it some food.

After we left there I felt like something was in my eye.  I kept scratching at my eye, then it felt like I had a bump on my eye that kept rubbing against my eyelid whenever I blinked.  Luckily, this all happened towards the end of the trip when we were on our way back to school.  I also managed to drive home with one eye.

Eventually I decided I needed to go to the ER.  When we got there, the lady put some cool yellow dye on my eye and did a brief swipe of the black light to see where the injury was. In the end, all she told me to do was take so eyedrops.  So, we headed over to the local Rite Aid and got my prescription eyedrops.  During the wait for the eyedrops I shopped around the store and got assorted colors of nail polish and lip gloss.  Anyways, so that was my day in the field working in the city of Detroit.  It wasn’t that bad, it was actually fun.

I wanted to blog about my other days but I have too many pictures and crap so I have to create another post fast, before I forget what happened!  Toodles!

First Turn Down and Awkward Moment Of The Year

So after spending 4 hours at the hospital talking to my dad and handling business stuff, I went to Bob Evan’s.  Then I headed over to Family Dollar where my mom gave me a list of crap to get.  As I approach the counter the guys says,

Guy: So. No man tonight? Have you found one?

Me: PAUSE

Me: No, never will *laughs awkwardly*

Guy: *laughs* Well tonight is my lucky night, huh(?)

Me: PAUSE

Me: *laughs*…… probably not…. *laughs*

Guy: *laughs*

Then the guy hands me my bag and I hurry out the store only to have him call me back and say,

Guy:  Hey, here’s your other bag

Me: *laughs* Oh…

Guy: Trying to get away from me so fast eh(?)

Me: *laughs* … *then leaves*

Life can only go up from here I guess.  Here’s a song,  My Moon My Man by Feist (Boys Noize Remix)

It’s Over, My Secret, And So What Stupid Thing Do I Do Next

School is over, the quick update is that I failed Calculus 2.  I was taking the exam and thought, why the f*ck am I even trying, then I just turned in my half-ass exam and walked out.  I think I did decent on my Spanish final enough to pass the class.  It was waaay easier than I thought.   On Friday I took my biology exam which was sooooo hard.  I know final exams are usually supposed to be hard, but c’mon.  The multiple choice was ok but the short answers were a killer.

After my exam my teacher talked about next semester, if you haven’t read before, I’ll be volunteering in the lab.  But, since I’ve already told my secret to like 3 people who probably don’t visit this blog, I might as well say my surprise is that I’ll be a research assistant next summer.   It’s my first career related job and I’m sooo excited.  My teacher talked about when it would start and how she is thinking about placing me on a different research project then we once discussed.  The old project which I was kinda (maybe not) looking forward to was slicing open and looking at fish guts to see what organisms we find.  Now the new research is doing water analysis for a project involving beaches.  The research is really important for water safety for beach goers.  The current system for monitoring e coli on beaches is not the best.  Anyways, whatever project I’ll be working on, I’ll be happy to do it…I’m an undergraduate…we’re always happy to do things like this.  It’s an opportunity to get work experience, make contacts and have fun.  So, that’s my secret, I knew many of you had already knew or guessed it but I wanted to make it official.

So now that classes are over for this short amount of time, I’ve been getting lazy again.  Oh, and I did do that pampering myself thing that I said I would, but I decided not to do the waxing thing.  It hurts, I’d rather have someone else do it or use the other method of shaving.  I don’t have many pictures except this picture of bubbles.  I actually haven’t taken a bath in a long time, I’m more of shower person.  I thought it was so cool how my boobs float to the surface lol ahhhh…the things that amuse me

So, now that I have nothing to keep me preoccupied during the day, I think I’ve gone crazy.  I decided to create a new fad and even did my own photo-shoot for said fad.  I call it OculAirs because I couldn’t think of anything else.  All you do is put a headband over your eyes.  It’s pretty cool and makes you look mysterious.

So, would you like to join me in being part of the OculAirs movement/fad?  It’s going to be extremely popular.  Hopefully Rihanna will read this post and think, ooooh that bish is cool, I wanna rock those.  You seen ‘em here first people.  And the cool part about this is that you also are showing versatility, because you can still use it as a headband.

It’s my cat’s fault as to why I have that expression on my face, but aye…you get the point   So, be apart of my new fad and don’t do this whilst driving or walking across the street.

Anyways, see ya later, have fun and be cool by wearing your OculAirs

WTF Went Wrong And Right At The AMAs

Many of you probably watched the AMAs (American Music Awards) last night but there were plenty of offenses last night that stuck out to me.  Lets start with the biggest fail of the night and that being Adam Lambert’s performance of “For Your Entertainment”.  Now I never heard the song until last night and I’m sure it sounds great on the radio, but his performance was god awful.  He shoved faces in his crotch area and kissed the keyboardist as though he’s into girls like that….or maybe that was a guy, to which would explain why he was into that.  Anyways, here’s the performance.

Next up is my two favorite entertainers, Shakira and J LO.  First, Shakira couldn’t catch a break as she arrived on the red carpet wearing the same dress J LO wore recently.  This isn’t the first time it happened as she was also wearing the same dress as Pink during the VMAs.  I demand a firing of her stylist.  Also, I wasn’t impressed by her performance.  She looked cute though, it’s not cool to be wearing stuff other celebs rocked,

Then, J Lo fell on her ass during the performance.  That’s what she get for stepping all over her dancers’ backs.  I knew, since I listened to the song off-rip, that I didn’t like the song but I thought it’d be a good performance and you know, it wasn’t that bad til she fell, but at least she got up like a pro.  Considering how big her ass is, I highly doubt she was hurt.  Here’s the video,

There there was Whitney Houston, crack really killed her voice.  I won’t even bore you with a video, just Google it.  Then Jay Z came on stage with some cornball 1990s comeback line saying “men lie, women lie but numbers don’t”, I gave that a *side eye*, supposedly a rip at 50 cent but he’s also irrelevant, so whatever.

Next, some unknown country group that Talyor Swift brought on tour beat out Lady Gaga for some award voted on by the fans, proving that Lady Gaga fans aren’t as obsessive as they appear to be, seriously, they were too “cool” to send in a text message to vote for her.  Another failure was the Timberland performance with Nelly Fortado and some girl named Soshy both of which I didn’t recognize at first.  Timberland looked exahusted after the performance and I had no idea what was going on in this song but whatever here’s the performance,

On to the things that went right.  I’m not fan of Gaga but I love her song Bad Romance.  She had a weird performance and even though I put it under weird, and overly dramatic with breaking the glass and some weird bird dance she was doing, she at least sang the song good enough,

Rihanna had a great performance, check it out, just happy she didn’t blind anyone when pointing lazers towards the audience,

Also the Jay Z/Alicia Keys song “New York” performance was good, as well as Alicia Key’s separate performance, though her background dancer looked like he was trying to battle dance with her.  Another big thing was that security around the stage must have been good.  No interruptions from Lil Mama or Kanye West…MTV could learn a thing or two about security.  The artists not in this post, I either didn’t watch or thought they did their usual thing.  Ok, now I’m for real this time, see you after Thanksgiving

11.9.2009//Officially Selfish

Wake up, and it’s a beautiful morning, normally it’d be snowing around this time, we in Michigan are living the near tropic life lol.  I turn on the news, do 20 sit-ups, do my hair, eat cereal, get dressed. I’m feeling fabulous as I walk to my car, even though I know I’m going to fail my math exam.  I missed Spanish the previous Thursday so I didn’t want to miss class this day.  Got there early to study for math.

I don’t know why, but my usual partner in that class sits next to me, but this girl in the class usually “takes” “his” seat.  Technically not his seat, but usually by this time we have, “seats”.  I guess I just like order and familiarity, plus my Spanish “partner” is adorable and funny, and he’s hardly that functional in the morning, I find it interesting to talk to him during this time.  And the girls that sits next to me, only started being nice to me once she found out I was an only child, I guess she feels sorry for me and understands my awkwardness and need to not have long conversations with people lol.  She also irritates me, not her personality (because we hardly talk to each other), but she smells a little.  Today, she like moved really quickly and the smell almost caused me to suffocate.  Don’t know if I mentioned it but I’m rather sensitive to smells and even if she was just wearing perfume, it completely irritates me.

Anyways, on the drama.  So we’re in Spanish, the teacher walk in and says she’s not feeling good so she goes to the restroom.  We’re all sitting there talking about random stuff then someone says, “omg, the teacher”.  We look and she’s outside the door, on the ground, face plant style.  She was just laying there and not moving.  I kind of stay put while others rush to get her help and the rest of us were deciding if we should call campus police to send help or something.  The teacher got up and she said she didn’t know what happened.  Then we told her, she fell on the floor a few seconds ago.  Then someone suggested she go home and she said she would.

Normally, I’m supposed to feel a widdle sad and scared over her blackout, but just like the teacher said right after everyone was still freaking out, “she’s not a drama queen” and neither am I.  She’s not hurt so I felt like doing laps around the hall when she said class would end early.  I feel bad though…it’s kind of selfish of me, but I got extra time to study for my math exam

She said it probably all happened because her blood sugar might be low.  During the little time we were in class, she did briefly go over our homework for the next day.  I’m just in class, half-happy and half-staring at her with my “observing closely/Are you ok?” look.

Since we got out early I studied for the examen.  When taking the exam I realized it wasn’t that bad.  I think I might have gotten at least 50% lol (update below) I finished early and I knew what I was in for when I was the first to turn in my exam…  My professor says, “Ooh, buttayou have lottah thime.  You don wannath double checkah, your, ansers!”. [I'm fully aware my typed out Asian accent is racist, but who cares...so what! (Joy Behar voice)].  I look back at the class, where some of the people are smiling, probably happy someone else was dumbass enough to turn in their paper first.  Then I look at the clock as if I care how much time I still have left to take the exam.  Then I look at the teacher and say, “but I can’t figure out anything else to put…uhhh…”.  Then he say, “well ok…”.  Then I say, “ok” and slightly shove the test into his small old person hands.

Then, I did 90mph down the freeway while eating my sandwich with Black-forest ham and mustard on the way home.  I love when people think I’m going to be some slow ass just because I’m eating a sandwich while driving.  I also love how I apparently weird people out and appear unapproachable.  Others may hate that they garner that response, but I love watching how people interact and act.  In my first life I was probably a sociologist lol.  Guy was about to approach my car and try to hit on me, but once I started blasting my satanic electro-rock(?) song,

He like started walking away lol.  He wore baggy jeans, braids and stuff, not the type of guys I even bother talking to.  Then this day at Subway, the guy in line kept looking at me.  Completely not my type so I acted like he didn’t exist and sort of gave him, the “could you move your ass out of line” look.  After he paid, he was taking too long to pack up his stuff so the line could keep moving.  Anyways, that was my day, toodles

update: got little less then 50% but I’m improving!
