^ Why anyone would actually go out and buy a Pepsi is beyond me...
I had a great time with Shannen. She's a joy to be around because she's funny and positive and we can get so silly XD It was a 30-45 minute wait for Golden Unicorn so we decided to walk around Chinatown in the meantime and we found a great stationary store full of cute stuff. So I bought a pencil that had a huge mustache eraser, two notebooks (one with dancing burgers, fries, and sodas on it), and a Three Kingdoms comic book about Zhugey (for kids). That's what I'm talking about~ I asked the shopkeeper where her selection of Three Kingdoms books was. She showed it to me and I said, "Oh, I already have these."
EXPERT LEVEL NERD
We got back to Golden Unicorn and it turns out our number was called right before we got in and so we shared a table with two other girls. I felt so odd at first because there were only carts going around with food, you picked them out, and that's how you were served. XD Shannen said our time in China really was the best and it took her years to realize that. She also felt that we were back in China again. The feeling of not knowing what to do, feeling OK about it, and being the only non-Chinese people around XD I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT SHE MEANS. We used expert Mandarin skillz and made it through alive and she said, "We're crushing it!"
She said she's bragged about me to her coworkers, oh Lord. She also said a coworker asked her out, but she said no because she doesn't want to date coworkers and she sits right next to him all day too. She said he seemed sad for two days and even other coworkers noticed, aw.
She's jealous about me going off to Shanghai Disney and I said I KNOW I CAN'T WAIT XD She can't believe I'll be living near Cloud Nine Mall and she said, "I don't care what anyone says, that is the best mall in the entire world." I know, I can't wait to see the Carrefour again too. I had such a good time talking to her.
We found adorable bun desserts with little cute pig faces on them XD We enjoyed MURDERING THEM. I said their tears made the desserts a bit saltier, BWAHAHAHAAHA.
We were waiting on the subway platform and she asked what Ting Ting thought and I said Ting Ting said that we were very cute together XD As for myself, I said he’s a positive addition in my life and I’m actually going to miss him while in China and he’s a wonderful man. I don’t know why Ting Ting thinks he’ll visit me but I think it wouldn’t be possible with work and all, along with only one break, so I’m not expecting it XD He said he wants to vacation with me around Italy and watch movies in bed with me, but I feel like I’m forcing myself not to BELIEVE… Anyway, I said he makes me feel special and I want to tackle him all the time.
She told me about how she stood up to her boss at work the other day. It was so intense @_@ She said she’s working on IT services accounts, something totally useless and uninteresting to her as she regularly does media work and that’s her speciality, and one of her bosses asked her to take on another one for him. That’s when she said NO, she’s going to finish the one he gave her and then move on because she does not care about these IT accounts, none of the money they’ll make will even trickle down to her, she’s already learned from her past 6 months of working on it, etc. Then he leaned over and whispered, "When you finish can you vouch for me to get off the account too?"
She seems like such a busy bee in general though because of work. She even went to work after we finished exploring! She also said I would LOVE Ireland because I know a ton of Irish songs and at every tavern, she swears, they sing songs!
I’m talking to my friend Jack, who just graduated from our law school, and I said I’m really going to miss the law school. The only “bad” semester was my 1L Fall semester, it was a crazy time emotionally, but even then a ton of good and exciting things happened. I grew a lot as a person from that odd experience. Then everything just got better and better and I have so many friends now too. I’m off to China soon and I’ll only have a semester left before I graduate! *SNIFF*
