Fucking clockwork.
A coworker told me fall starts tomorrow. That is ridiculous because it has been fall for a while now. But, tonight it’s cold, first ‘cold’ night of the year. It is 3:34am and KFF just texted me for the first time since the last time it was cold. Feb?

Soju at nine. I should probably stop playing Anipang and start getting ready. Or, you know, just one more round…
Kings and dares.
A coworker who is also one of my best friends left Korea this week. Because it was her last day, we all went out as an office. I am not even going to lie. This is our third hwaeshik-or-something-like-it in a row. On Friday nights. I was so less than thrilled to be there. It’s not even that I dislike the company. I enjoy all my coworkers. However. Three in a row, taking up my Friday night, is...
Off-topic: Volunteering. With a church.
My friend is still trying to get me to go to her church. I am not down with that, but when I heard she volunteers every other weekend with an orphanage, I figured I could do that. She says there are about 80 babies there that have to sleep with the light on and have bad skin because not enough people can take care of them. Last time she went, four other people were there. For 80 kids. So I offered...

And Ramen called.
We met. More to come later. Still trying to understand it.
Oh my [Anipang] heart.
Ramen has been sending me hearts everyday. So have all my Kakao contacts. I have been sending them back. As a joke, I copied the Anipang message and sent all my friends a broken heart in place of the real thing. I also sent one to him. Hey, when you’re at work, anything seems funny. My coworkers also thought it was hilarious.
He replied. This is the first time we have talked since he randomly...
Blast from the past.
Ramen just sent me two Anipang hearts…I guess I have to send one back.

Samsung Sogaeting.
Friday nights, we get off early from work. This Friday, we had planned a mini-Hwaeshik, that is, no bosses were coming, only staff. Last weekend, we did the same thing, without the Korean staff, and a few of them had wanted to join, so we planned to go again.
It was really nice. Our staff is a mix of Koreans, Gyopos, Americans, and Canadians. I ended up sitting next to our newest female staff...
Anipang Etiquette
I’m sure most people are at least aware of the Anipang craze sweeping Kakao. I love a Bejeweled-style game as much as the next girl, so I’ve been playing up a storm.
At first, I only sent hearts to my friends and people I speak with regularly. Cue the random hearts.
Now, on Facebook, when you play a game where you have to send items out, you generally don’t send to people...
Craigslist ad.
Oh, yes. HEY. When a girl is going through a dry spell, she does what she has to do.
After one drunken night with INP, I laughingly said, fuck it. I’m making a CL ad. And it’s going to be honest. It’s going to say what I’m truly looking for in a man.
Would you like to see what I wrote? If you were cruising the W4M section a few months ago, you might have seen it.

I meant to come back, I really did. Then work got busy. My boss asked me to take a training course that involved me reading college textbooks and articles. I pulled two all-nighters in the final week of the training. I felt like I was going to die. The course, of course, was amazing, and probably worth it in the end, but it was draining.
Also, the the entire race thing really did get to me. Not...

Met a guy.
He’s busy. As am I. This could work, or it could dissolve into nothing. As it is, we’re both too busy this month. He’s got a lot of work to do at his hospital, and I’m currently clocking overtime of 50 blocks of teaching time this month in the classroom. Note, this isn’t the time I’m at work, which is now approaching 11.5hours a day. It’s simply the time...
All jokes aside.
I also just felt the need to say, because maybe people really don’t get it. But, when you type words like
nigger
jap
cunt
slut
mongrel
AND half breed
no one is joking. No one is making a poorly made joke. This is not a joke gone awry. There is no way to excuse it. It’s not funny. It’s not sarcasm.
It’s hate speech.
It’s not a joke. At all.
If you are confused.
Those are not Google analytics. They are things that someone searched for on my blog, knowing that it would turn up nothing. It was someone who has read my blog for a long time, given they referenced something I haven’t written about in a while.
They were trying to hurt me.
They wanted me to see that.
I wasn’t even going to post that. But, I wanted people to see.

LOL. I just knew that somehow, me saying that because of my experiences dating Korean men I find it very hard to trust them would be offensive to some people. I’m sorry that some of you think you are the protectors of Korean men’s reputations and feel the need to defend them every time someone…

She's ba-ack.
I hope.
God, I forgot how bad summer intensives were. They’re brutal. We’re talking 11hour days here, with hardly a break in the middle. Close to ten straight hours of teacher a day. Five days a week. For two months. Kill me.
That said, I’ve met a ton of new guys online. Managed to get dates in with two (the plant guy, and another guy) and I’ve met someone I really like...

"I will have a plant."
I have a date today. In about two hours actually. He’s rather funny, but I’m not exactly looking forward to the date. For one thing, he’s scheduled us a six hour date (Lunch. Movie. Coffee. In that order.) and it is our first time meeting. Also because he is giving me a plant. He likes to give plants on the first time meeting someone, he says. Which is a bit weird, but maybe...

imnopicasso:
Grace and I have a possibly mildly degrading classification system for men, but it’s helpful for those times when we need to describe one that the other hasn’t met yet, for whatever reason. It centers around body type, kind of, but also somehow encompasses some other inherent traits as well. I’m guessing not everyone will get it, but that there will be a few for whom it just...

Tuesday night: Drunk texting and a motel.
But no sex for anyone. In fact, no kissing for anyone either. The raunchiest bit was us holding hands in bed before sleeping. Figure that one out. Hah.
Vegas shmegas.
He pissed me off a little. Okay, that’s not right. He frustrated me, so I cancelled our meeting. I’m still trying to figure out why he thought what he did was acceptable. I mean, I know he’s weird, I know he has time management issues, but I’m also wondering if he’s got some sort of curfew he’s got to follow to be home on time.
I’ll write more about this...
Vegas has a fetish.
I do not know the technical term, which is a first for me. I also don’t know if it’s going to come out in person. It appeared after we kissed for the first time. But, he only hinted at it via Kakao.
After our second date, he pulled it out again on Kakao. He doesn’t do it in person, or reference it. He also gets quite shy when I bring it up on a date.
After a long conversation...
Just to stir the pot...Vegas.
Vegas and I are planning on having sex this weekend. Glorious sex. I hope. As long as nothing goes wrong.
I plan to give him endless twice. And then ride him til the sun comes up.
Let the name-calling continue.
Vegas is depressed.
Things might, sadly, be going to the wayside. We’ll see. He gets this way every two weeks or so. I’m hoping he snaps out of it. He always does once we meet. But, I’m starting to think this is why he doesn’t have a girlfriend. Because he gets in moods about where his life is heading, and closes up into a little unreachable ball.

I’m mad. That’s pretty much where I am right now. Mad. I had a shit day, I’ve been reading tons of crap on the internet, and basically, I’m sick of my name coming up time and time again when we talk about the Tumblr Sluts. Oh...
At least he remembers the important things.
SInce I told him about my hand, Vegas is constantly asking me how it is. This is nice because he has an admittedly short memory, and once even asked me out on the same date twice. Which I realize sounds funny, but mostly it’s just confusing.
Anyway, he chats with me while I’m bored in the hospital and I couldn’t really ask for more.
My hand is in a splint for the next two...
Vegas is caring.
Me: I have to go to the hospital tomorrow. I think I broke my hand. ㅠ.ㅠ
Vegas: You need to be careful. Nice [new Kakao] picture anyways~
…gee…thanks…
Hesitant Vegas.
Rather, it’s been me thats hesitant to post. I really like him. With all his weirdness and awkwardness, he makes me laugh. I’ve told my dad about him. Not in any more terms than “the guy I’m dating,” but still.
I’ve had a hard time getting to date three these past few years. Sometimes, it’s me that ends it after two dates, sometimes them. But date three...

My father would be proud. Not my finest moment.
Me: When does the movie start?
Vegas: Fifteen minutes .
Me: We have almost a whole pizza left.
Vegas: We will be fine. It's a piece of cake.
Me: You mean...it's a piece of pizza.
Vegas: What?
Me: Nothing. Bad joke.
Vegas: Oh! I get it. Pizza cake. (Fake laugh.)
Waiting for Vegas.
I am someone that has been on a lot of first dates. Given the nature of my lifestyle here, it’s only natural. I mean, I might not have a ton of third dates, but I usually give a guy at least two before one of us calls it quits.
I used to club a lot. There are advantages to this. You know, in some way, what Romeo looks like before you’re standing outside a subway station waiting for...
Vegas history.
I had set a new rule for myself this year. If a man did not ask me out on a date within one week of meeting him, he wasn’t worth waiting for. New Year, New Me and all that. This is partially what caused me to give up on the Drummer. I have a bad habit of liking guys that make me wait. For the most part, they don’t make me wait for any other reasons than those I respect, like...
Too many oppas for one girl to handle.
Saturday night, after the musical, I went out to my bar. I was alone, because I just wanted to go and say hi, so they put me next to a guy that I know, but rarely talk to. He knows who I am. We’ve known each other for a year. But, before last night, we’d hardly said two words to each other. Okay, make that two sentences. At one point, Bartender came over and said in English, to me, and...
Food (literally) for thought.
If I say yes to being his girlfriend now, I’m out all three ‘couple holidays’ this year.
1. Red Day
2. White Day
3. Black Day.
Fuck that shit. I had black noodles today. Because I’ll be damned if I don’t eat noodles because I’ve been dating someone for a week.
There is also the possibility that we won’t be a couple by Sat. This would make me sad, as...
Vegas.
That’s his name. Haha. We have known each other a week. We met on a phone app. He’s now told me he is going to delete it. I told him I might meet another guy I’d met on there before I delete it. He said he likes my sense of humor. Haha. At the time, I wasn’t entirely joking.
He asked me to be his girlfriend ~15 times.
I didn’t want to say yes until we kissed goodnight. But, I stayed true to what I believe, and that is that I’m not ready, never ready, to take a bf on the first date, no matter how giddy he makes me feel at that moment. I told him we should have a few more dates before we decide. Well, before I decide. If he stays the same (he’s already asked me out for Sunday) then things could...

Drunk-texting Bartender.
Me: Bartendeeeeeerrrr! What are you wearing?
Bartender: Me? Uniform. My work uniform.
Me: .... -.- You're supposed to say, 'nothing.'
Bartender: Pervert! ㅋㅋ
Ridiculous.
Me: [sending a new pic of me with a haircut at his request] Sorry. I'm not wearing makeup.
Him: It's okay. Not wearing clothes is also okay.
Me: Clever.
Him: I'm clever guy.
Me: And modest, too.
Him: You think I'm modest??^^
My musical idol has another show coming out in May. His birthday is also in May.
Assuming he’s not gay (and god, I hope he’s not) I don’t think it’s too awkward to give him a birthday present of the homemade variety. Also, it makes me awesome because my baked goods are a gift to the stomach and heart. That sounded ridiculous.
But, I love him. And he loves me. (I hope?...
I have problems.
Dating has become less fun for me. Therefore, I log into Tumblr less. It’s taken me 67 pages to catch up. Based on the dramas I follow/that ended, and their subsequent screencaps, I haven’t been on Tumblr in about three weeks. And I’m sorry for that. Mostly to myself. I want to blog, I want to say fun and interesting things. But, I got nothing.
I’m trying to find the best...
White Day approacheth.
The last time I got a White Day present was when Adjusshi arrived at my door in a blazer with a basket of Chupa Chups arranged in a bouquet. It was wonderful. And hilarious. Because he didn’t wear suits, and threw it over a rather odd outfit in an attempt to impress me. But, it worked, so whatever.
This year, I’ve got 12 days to whip something up.
I fear the Drummer is out, mostly...
Big Bang Big Show (Alive Tour)
I was there, of course. Sunday night. Ended up separated from my friends, but made fast besties when the girl next to me screamed WHYYYY as the lights dimmed. Initially she was screaming with joy, but when they cued up a music video instead of appearing, she got pissed. I turned and laughed at her reaction, she laughed in turn and we both faced front again.
The show started.
The girls in front...
And that was a failure.

I WANT to be older, so you can call me Oppa,” it doesn’t really fix things. However, he did ACT older, and he did do something entirely right when faced with a possible ‘American man is probably...
