Interesting things

It's sunny again today, around the 90's. How is it still so hot here and it's mid November? Everyone that told me Fall and Winter is beautiful here lies! It's still too hot!

It was brought up to my attention that I write about work too much and apparently that bores my only reader, so let's diverge from talking about work today and bring up other things. Here's my attempt to be more interesting...

I've been listening to my really old MP3 player today (do they still have those? MP3 players? Hasn't everyone jumped on the iPod wagon?) and it has occurred to me that it's all filled with Jay Chou songs. Ah...the memories that Jay Chou brings up. Mainly Hong Kong memories. Most of which I'm very fond of, few were terrifying and not so great, but most were amazing. Each song that comes up seems to be linked to a different memory. Like when the song "Dong Fung Po" comes up, I always think of my friend Kim. Don't ask me how I remember these minute details about seemingly insignificant events in my life, but there was this conversation I had with her when we were in Hong Kong and she mentioned that was her favorite song by Jay Chou and since then, that song always reminded me of her. Then there's "An Jing" which will always remind me of you since you told me that's your favorite song. And then there's my favorite song, which doesn't just remind me of myself...it reminds me of his concert I went to with you. Hearing it alive was amazing. I almost cried. It would have been tears of joy I was shedding because I was so moved by his music. It's fun to be reminded of the endless hours I spent listening to his songs, obsessing over him, and fantasizing about meeting him in person in my White Palace of a dorm room. I guess HK will forever be linked with Jay Chou, happy times...simpler times.

I'm trying to express more "love" and "emotion" towards my boyfriend so I've been trying to use some terms of endearment towards him. I don't know if that's even the correct way of labeling it. But anyhow, I guess I took him by surprise....
*phone rings
BF: Hello
Me: Hey sweetie!
BF: Heeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyy.............................*silence
Me: Ok...stop it, just stop trying, too long and awkward of a pause. I can tell you can't think of anything to say back to me.
BF: hahahaha, sorry, that just took me by surprise
Me: No...kidding.........

**Second attempt
*phone rings
BF: Hello
Me: Hey honey!!
BF: Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy..........sweeeeeeet thing?
Me: sweet thing?
BF: sweet...tie...I meant sweetie
Me: uh..huh....sure.

I can just tell during those long awkward pauses that his little engineering brain, which probably runs on gears, is grinding to a halt and he has brain waves that's transmitting the signal "Does not compute". I have a theory that I"m actually dating a Robot. I'll have to run a few more tests to prove my theory. Stay tuned for results.

So there is this guy that works at the front desk that is very friendly to me. We have this messenger system that works like AIM. And he was probably the first to message me on there and is always talking to me. He chats me everyday. When I told my BF, he had this crazy theory that he likes me, but I think he's just very friendly and super nice. He offered to show me around town and join his gym and motivate me to work out and stuff. During this whole time, I'm pretty sure I mentioned I had a BF a few times. I was very sure he knew. But today, for some reason, during one of our conversations, I mentioned I have a BF again and he surprisingly responded with "WTH, you have a BF? I thought you were single". Hmmm...very interesting response.......Then later on today, I went to the front desk and to ask for help with something. My tech happened to up there and told me that he was refusing to help her (in a joking way) and told me to hand him some papers so he'll take care of it. So I did and he did help her. I left and didn't think much of it. My tech told me later that the running joke now is that he isn't willing to help anyone, the only person that can get him to do anything is me, he's willing to do whatever I tell him to. So now everyone's saying that if they want him to do something, just ask me to ask him and it'll get done. Hmmm...giving me special treatment...interesting...is this all adding up to what my BF suspected from the beginning? I don't know, I still think he's just a nice guy. Maybe he's just not familiar enough with me to joke around with me and not do what I ask him to do? Hmmm....

I mentioned the other day that there were a lot of dead birds on the sidewalk here. I noticed the same thing when I was in Casa Grande, AZ. Why are there always so many dead birds in AZ? I don't get it. So I heard from someone that supposedly there are people that go out and shoot birds to scare birds away. It's like warning sign "this can be you if you dwell around my property, I'm going to shoot you and leave your carcass lying around as a warning to others". That's super bird friendly. I didn't know bird shooting in a middle of a residential area is legal here. Hmmm...interesting.

I know I said I wouldn't talk about work, but this is a little different...So I had this patient the other day come in and lecture me incessantly about how I don't have a life and how I need to go out more.
Patient (Pt): what do you do for fun?
Me: Nothing, I like to eat, sleep, watch TV, maybe read
Pt: you have to go out more and live your life!
Me: I'm happy with what I'm doing right now
Pt: Go out and enjoy life! Go meet people! Go do things! You are still young!
Me: Ok...I'll try
Pt: Go get a life! Don't just drown yourself in work! Go work out, go get a hobby, do something fun
Me: I like lounging around at home, that's fun to me!
Pt: NO! Go experience life!...ok ok I'm sorry, I'm probably the only one that gives you such a hard time and lectures you so much to go out and get a life right?
Me: No, you would be surprised, almost everyone does that with me here. It's either that, or "get married" or "don't grow old"
Pt: Oh yeah! Get a boyfriend!
Me: I have one
Pt: Go get married then! Have some kids!
Me: Ok...I'll try, let's get back to the exam
Pt: Why so serious! You are all business
Me: You are also not the first person to say that to me either!

Gosh, why's everyone up in my business? I like being a home body! Does that mean I'm not living my life and doing great things if I like being at home?

I do things......I'm going to Zumba tonight. Just watch! I go out! I'll show ya'll I can be fun!

I'm out.
