I hung out with two friends that I have not seen in a long time -- probably years.
Yeah, I think years.
We ate dinner at this place called Mr. and Mrs. Wok. They have great Italian food there -- very unique taste. The spaghetti there was called "yakisoba" and the meat balls were flat and came on a sizzling plate and was called "bulgogi". I recommend.
Plus the old lady came and laughed at my pervert jokes. Liked it so much she gave all of us extra candy at the end of our meal. Dum-dums to be exact. She is mirin' my aesthetics (read: admiring my aesthetics). She is also 50+ years old.
After that we got coffee and drinks and chocolate stuff at Chocolati. There we discussed the decline of America On-Line and speculated what was root cause of its demise. We also shared our past AOL screen names -- Jennyl was 'Oh Ship a Scooter' (notsureifsrs, read: not sure if serious), Nga was 'hoochiegirl86' or something along those lines (probs srs), mine was AJ Bingo 316 (I had an infatuation with wrestling at the time which may or may not involve Stone Cold Steve Austin).
I also divulged to them how I got my family banned from America On-Line within a month of subscribing. I was nine years old and it involves Magic: The Gathering. I promise I will write about it in a future blog post. Nga also divulged that her dates like to take her to cemetery's because "it's fun". I think that might be code name for boning (???) because cemetery's have dead people and dead people turn to skeletons and skeletons have bones. Two hundred and six bones, to be exact.
That's a lot of boning.
Nga got a new car called a Leaf and apparently it runs on only electrons. Naturally everybody drove it around the same block to see how it felt. Not me because I am asian and I don't drive very well and I also drive a mini-van.
OK, I'm done.

An Educational Segment: Hoverhands
It is your lucky day!
I have put together an educational segment to enlighten the masses on yet another awkward social moment -- the hoverhand!
Due to the content being heavily populated with pictures, I have chosen to choose a different medium for this presentation -- a 15-page Google slideshow.

I hope you enjoy. Thank you for your time.

Awkward Social Moments Vol 2 -- Saying Bye
You run into a friend in the middle of red square.
You talk for a bit, catch up, you know, whatever whatever.
You realize it's time for your next class so ya'll say your goodbyes 'nice to run into you, we should hang out/drink/playchinesecheckers!' and alla that.
You part ways and start to walk to your classes.
You realize both of you are going the same way.

Awkward Social Moments Vol. 1 - Remembering Names
You ever meet a person, exchange names, then go to say something that involves saying their name and go...

I hate that.
It feels so awkward to me. It's like.. "Alright, I'ma head out -- nice meeting you.... man." UGH, I know you just told me your name but I can't fkn remember! I know you can just straight up admit it, but I still feel awkward every time.
Then you start employing these tricks and shit to remember their names ("Steve likes, ummm... spaghetti! Spaghettispaghettispaghetti. Alright Arthur's memory, we're good!), but then what if they don't remember your name!? Do you just go and put them on blast and say their name, expect it back, but leave them dumbfounded because they were in your situation before? Or do you just cop out and play it off like you didn't remember either.
Man eff it, I think I'll just put them on blast. It'll make them remember next time and in turn, eventually the world will be less awkward.
