I'm glad you enjoyed that story. I should qualify it with the fact that I live in the midwest, although, I do live in Ann Arbor, where there are plenty of Chinese-American undergrads. ??? I'm in livejournal, thought I'm starting not to like it b/c it's not as pretty or bloggy-looking and I can't figure out how to post pictures in the entries. Maybe I'll switch to blogspot or xanga? Okay, I have another gripe. What's the deal with people telling you to smile? Is THIS is a way to pick someone up? really you can't, b/c there's not much of a follow up. But this line is somewhat a common one. I'm just walking on my merry way, daydreaming, thinking, whatever, and people will just pass by and say, "smile", or "smile, it's a beautiful day"... HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME??? What if someone died? Get the hell out of my face. I usually give a 0.5 sec mocking wry smile. Stop asking for smiles! It's not cute! hee hee.

I've never heard of such a smoother move. ;P That is just straight bizarre. You should respond in an exagerrated, "HI HOW ARE YOU!" in a manner you'd say it to a foreign person visiting the US. That's a funny story. You should start your own blog so I can read more! And, yeah, what's the deal with grabbing? An automatic response to a grab should be a slap. That would be sweet!

What's the deal with grabbing people? Not just a tap or a snag and let-go (as in "oh hello there"), but an actual grab n' hold? When did this become acceptable? Why are you holding onto me? You don't know me! followed by a "Where are you going?" "Well, I WAS going over there, and if you'll let go, I can continue on my way." AND! What’s the deal with grabbing people?

followed by a “Where are you going?”
“Well, I WAS going over there, and if you’ll let go, I can continue on my way.”

[Gripe] This has happened more than once to me, where I'm walking through a bar or club, and out of nowhere a guy pulls me by the wrist, to engage in a one-phrase conversation: he opens with "nee haow ma?" And then I stare at this white/black/non-Chinese person before me, wondering why he has stopped me to give me a sample of his awful and limited Mandarin. It's not like I sat down, talked to him, found out that he learned some mandarin, and he wanted to try it out or whatever. So I say sarcastically, "that's very nice" and walk away, more offended than impressed if that's what the guy was going for. I concur. The Notebook is a bucket full of cheeseness and I can't believe I subjected myself to watching the movie in the first place. I WAS on the airplane though. That is, after all, how I came to see The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Don't see that one either. what’s the deal with racial pick-up lines? [Gripe]
