Your reputation as a magnanimous and kind person could make a new person on the scene think that they can take advantage of you -- ha! The joke will be on them when you prove, in dramatic fashion, that's not the case today. Don't be afraid of coming off as rude to people who underestimate you. They did you the disservice of underestimating you, so there is no need to bend over backwards to be polite. This is admittedly a rocky start for the two of you, but things will steadily improve.
2. Me a kind person?!... hmmm.... hahaha. I doubt that's the reputation I've got going on but I definitely came off as rude today at the boxing club when Hell Boy thought it'd be funny to stick his foot in Mi Nam's face and then pretend to kick him. Turns out Mi Nam really doesn't do well with a crowd of people and so when I brought him to the boxing club , he shook like a leaf. I hadn't anticipated that, for sure. I had brought along his sweater that he always lays on, in hopes that he'd feel more comfortable.
3. I don't know whether it's I'm getting more nit picky with age or what but having some middle-aged, over-sized geek torment my dog will never be cool in my books, so I told him so. It started off with me politely asking him to stop. Then I tried to make a joke... then I got down-right rude with him.
HB: Oh come on Amy, it's just a dog.
Me: Ya, but it's my dog. Would you like me to stick my foot in your face?
HB: But I'm not a dog.
Me: Exactly. You're a man. Stop acting like a child. I hate children [not really].
HB: I'm just joking around.
Me: Do you understand Korean?! I told you stop. We don't like your stupid joke.
HB: [puts his hand on my shoulder]... Amy.
Me: Don't touch me and don't touch my dog... Do you want me to touch you? [raised my fist here]. Watch yourself Fugly! (last sentence was in English).
4. Why do so many people let their stupidity shine around me?! Seriously, do they think I'm that bored that I want to deal with their retardedness and will take the time to educate them on manners or whatnot?!
5. For the most part no one really approached Mi Nam but lots of people asked me questions. Junior Mint and Milk Dud took turns keeping Mi Nam company and so that was so sweet of them. I was so distracted during training though. I kept on looking at him and in between rounds I'd run over and give him kisses on his forehead. I felt bad seeing him so nervously sitting there but I couldn't help but think he looked so adorable at the same time. I just wanted to scoop him up in my arms and tell him that I love him a million-billion-zillion times.
6. The Cheonan Trump had asked me to swing by his office tower to help him out with yet another speech he was working on for his trip to Chicago and so I joined up with him at 5pm. What was supposed to be me editing one speech and sitting with him for an hour evolved into me editing one speech, writing a full speech for him, editing about ten emails he had to send out, and writing a new year's thank you card. By the time I left it was coming up to 8pm. I was happy to help him, after all, he's always very sweet to me and he's been my main financial supporter for my boxing, but when he turned and gave me an envelop filled with a lot of "thank you bills", I was all that happier. Plan is to return Thursday night and work on yet another speech.
7. Italiano texted me today "So you're gonna move back [to Canada] when I might move [to New York or Europe] away?" He had mentioned the idea of him moving, a while back, but I just thought it was an idea. I never thought he'd be actually seriously pursuing it. Who the heck am I going to go fountain jumping with now?!!!
8. Tang (official new nickname for my only English-speaking Korean buddy at boxing... Tang as in the juice. It's both sweet but sour... just like him) texted me tonight, "If you wash hair not wearing training suit, then I'll admit you're a woman". Not too sure if you understand but basically he's still teasing me about not washing my hair and the notion that the boys at boxing aren't really convinced I'm a woman... hahaha.
9. Grocery shopping... ya... fun!!! I love grocery shopping. Got my usual two whole wheat loaves from the Home Plus baker who's my most recent hook-up... hahaha.
10. Q's silly, overly-exaggerated gangster drama show was on tonight, which meant I sat in my office with the door closed so that I didn't have to overhear the usual crying girls and fighting boys. I tell ya, sometimes I picture myself smashing my TV and think to myself that it'd be well worth the two grand I spent on it to get rid of it. You see, Q doesn't have a TV in his house and so he's always trying to watch it here. Actually, he doesn't have a lot of things in his house... no TV, no couch... no furniture besides a little table that stands one foot in height.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Is there some kind of school that teaches people how to become more stupid or something?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.
