Defining Moments

Last week I was telling my friend about how the night before I had a defining moment in my life when Avril Lavigne came on the radio in the cab and our taxi driver turned it up and started singing along. And then we all started singing along (except me because it was a tune I was unfamiliar with) and we rolled the windows and for that moment we were one with the old man Korean cab driver.

Today I had a lot of defining moments.

First, a student told me my Cher impression wasn't good.

...

Excuse me, but have the rest of you been lying to me for the past 10 years? Because that's not very funny and I'm upset I had to hear this from a Korean boy. Ouch.

Secondly, after lunch I went out and played a little basketball with the students. Its been awhile since I've been able to shoot hoops and even though it was short lived, I loved it. I think I'm going to make it a more frequent occurrence. But maybe only after it warms up a little bit. Aka March.

Third. I joined a Korean gym. Yeah.

Fourthly, as Kong and I were walking back home from the gym, this random guy stops me and hands me something. I take it.


I have no idea what it is. It wasn't open when I got it, so I feel like if its food I can eat it. But it depends on what food it is. Sometimes I love being blonde here, just because strangers give me candy. Well, maybe candy. This is my request for a translation.

Haha! Would you just trust me and try it if I say it's "good for you"? Literally translated, it means "nutritious sweet jelly of red beans." If I remember correctly, it's blackish and soft. I wouldn't say it's my favorite but it's not bad. If you're adventurous when it comes to food, I say give it a try.

Another confession

(this isn't about the same subject matter as before) A lot of the time when I meet people I feel like I know them from somewhere. A good percentage of the time I realize the only way I know them is that they resemble one of the characters on the classic board game Guess Who? Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

Recent Obsession Flair-ups

You know how there are some things that you love so much and you experience these things a ton but then after awhile they just seem to fade out? But then some time passes and you almost rediscover these things with new eyes and obsess over them again almost worse than the first time? This has recently happened to me with a few things. They include: Elton John Tater Tots Seinfeld Showering Grape Juice Thats it. PS: (Did you know?!) Thanks to Dare-bear-stare for helping me learn that my own Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the U.S. at 53 square miles! Props to Denver yet again!

Take Home Chef Wannabe

So once upon a time my friend Jeff and I made up our own little tradition. We called it "Friday Picture" and each Friday we would walk around campus and take a picture with the most awkward/awesome/unique looking individual we could find. It was something I looked forward to every week, and we would constantly surprise ourselves with the kind of people we'd see walking around BYU. A lot of weridos there. One day we decided to meander through the library to see if there was anyone extra special for our Friday Picture. Boyyy, did we find that special person! World, meet Take Home Chef Lookalike. I saw him and I couldn't believe the similarities. The striking features. The blond, pointy hair. We even found some silverware to make the photo more true to life. ( The real Curtis Stone ) Try to tell me they don't look alike. Just try. I think the best part of the story is that Jeff's girlfriend at the time (now wife) had dated Take Home Chef-a-like. And we di...
