Stuck in Suwon... Monday, March 19

If yesterday I was on a high from my boxercise classes than today I was definitely on a low in comparision, so this is me complaining.... rambling complaining!

Snickers wants me to quit running, saying that it's altering my "female look" too much. Which he basically meant was it's been trimming me down but in not necessarily the spots he thinks need trimming, like my chest. What does he know?! His past dating life consisted of but only a couple of girls -- Korean girls -- so in comparision I am definitely a voluptuous lady;)

Was questioned at the boxing club by some random Korean girl who felt the need to tell me she doesn't think muscular legs on a woman are attractive. I felt like telling her in the first place that what a woman thinks about me is so not of interest to me but that I'm flattered that she'd consider my legs so muscular. "Why do you want such strong legs?" she asked me. I wanted to joke and say "so that they're all the more stronger for kicking you" but I settled with just saying "... for running". She gave me a rather snobbish look and then turned away. Sweety, I've got chopsticks thicker than your legs!

And with comments like that, ya, sometimes I don't play well with others:(

With one of my sister-in-laws now being pregnant with her third child, I thought the "why don't you have a baby?" pressure would be avoided. No suck luck. Snickers has been getting on my case (and I know it's coming from you-know-who) to spend more time with his two twin 7-year-old nephews. They're even talking about sending me to Canada this Christmas with them. I think they think that if I spend more time with these little ones that I'll catch some kind of "baby fever". Little do they know, taking care of someone else's kid is like the most proactive form of birth control out there on the market in my world.

Recieved my first mom's joke today since my mom's death and when I noted to this particular foreign guy that my mom's dead, he let out a huge laugh, smirked at me and insisted I was pulling his leg, so I kicked him.

Made a mad dash for the last remaining seat on the subway car but so did an ajjuma (older Korean woman). We totally crashed into each other, stepped back and then at the same exact time we both tried to sit down. I joked and said "Let's do rock-scissors-paper", thinking she'd think that'd be funny and possibly a quick possible solution. Well, she definitely didn't think it was funny so, with a large huff and a puff, she pushed me aside and took the seat. I tell ya, my Dankook students were totally right. The Korean ajjuma IS the third gender! Don't get in the way of them or else!
