my new career.. i don't know if it exists yet..

i think i have found my calling in life.

i think i want to be a shoe historian.

this is only my thoughts of my last twenty seconds on earth however, i was a history major, i have a massive shoe collection back home and a fondness for shoes which cannot be denied or replaced by the love of a man, and i love antiques.. 

and then i can claim my purchases as tax deductions! and i can design shoes in my spare time.

time for another list...

foreign exchange

A biracial couple were having an argument and the man insinuated that the woman should be cooking him dinner. She replied, "Hey, I'm not fucking your mother!"

The man, a native English speaker, of course exploded into raucous hoots and hollers. 

"Darling I think you mean, "Hey, I'm not your fucking mother", please be careful!"

Moral of the story: the importance of word placement in english conversation.

Also, one of my friends after a hectic night in a game arcade offered to give me a lift and said, "I want to give you pleasure". I hesitated a moment and burst out laughing. The student realised and turned bright red. He then corrected himself, "I want to please you...".. I said, "Mmmm, maybe, it's my pleasure is better".

Moral of the story: Pay attention in class otherwise you will offer a foreign girl your peeps.

An elderly protestant woman is staying in a plush casino in Las Vegas. She gets in an elevator and is followed in by two African American men. The woman presses her floor and one of the men says "Hit the ground (floor)"... The woman preceded to lie down on the floor of the elevator with her hands in the air. The two men crack up into absolute hysterics. It turns out that the men in question were Eddie Murphy and Magic Johnson. The next day, the concierge delivers the woman a bunch of roses... made from hundred dollar bills. True story. 

Moral of the story: sometimes your innate racism can make you money. Not a good example.

oh-ho! part deux

i fell off my bike again, ate some gravel, and now i have a big chunk missing from my chin which no amount of concealer can cover. 

Why do you think I fell off this time?

a) i had just been to 3 hours of nomihodai aka drunkety mcdrunk 

b) i was wearing 6 inch navy satin sonia rykiel heels (not practical for cycling) 

c) i have absolutely no balance, common sense or brakes! 

d) all of the above

take your pick!!!

This became the inspiration for Darth Vader's attire!

2 minutes in my head

my neighbours must be shirty about the blasting of Montell Jordan and incessant chopping tonight (carrots are very crunchy and its tough with a blunt knife on a metal surface to be quiet).

goodnight mr. tom is the greatest pre-teens book. it had a lasting and profound impact on me.

Being a native english speaker, i didn't realise how difficult phrasal verbs are in english. There are so many and they don't make sense. You don't physically look up, when you look something up.

There is nothing like having a crush on someone. Crushes and the initial flirting is one of the best parts of a relationship.

I really need to buy some harem pants. but then i have no shoes to match... hmmm....

I feel forlorn this minute because i sense as if my youth is coming to an end and I don't like the idea of full-scale adulthood, which means real life, then death and I'm not sure if I'm ready for either. sorry to get my gloom on. moving on...

Pocari Sweat, a Japanese drink, actually tastes like sweat. or what i imagine sweat to taste like. Don't try this at home, kids.

Only idiots move to Japan if they are vegetarians who don't eat seafood.

rockwerchter has the best lineup of any music festival i have ever seen. stupid belgium.
the prodigy, oasis, placebo, tiga, lily allen, coldplay, the killers, bloc party, lady gaga, the streets, jason mraz, henry rollins, 2manydjs, kings of leon, nick cave (although i hate him), franz ferd, limp bizkit, rodrigo y gabriela, boys noize, grace jones, yeah yeah yeahs, metallica, NIN, kaiser chiefs!!!, black eyed peas, mars volta, metro station and royksopp.. AMAZING. and my little bitch of a sister is going.

i really like the kaiser chiefs. i have a thing for angry brits. i think maybe i was sid vicious in a past life. my current life must be exceedingly dull in comparison.

i heart vivienne westwood.
