You are so poser.

  1. Get your hybrid and e-cig and bathroom that runs on poopoo out of my life, you moron.

    On a pretty major intersection on El Molino Ave, CA 91106, (just to give you a visual), an idiot noob in a white annoying Prius turns sharp left while I'm going straight. We collide past the middle of the intersection. Slight bump. I survived with a minor scratch on the front left bumper because I'm a genius driver. I drive like I'm a dood. Don't get feminist on me. My mom drives like she is Korean. She is Korean, relative newbie to America.

    My "beh emm veh" has the battle scars of a pro, and the missing license plate lends color and credibility to my image. Nowadays, I like to think I have "an angel on my shoulder but a devil in my head".

    The other driver got wheeled away on a stretcher. Hysterical. Freaking out and jumping around sweating. Engine smoking. Thank god the guy didn't pass out. I couldn't even get his info properly. Might have seemed inappropriate.

    He is sucha nubbly wubbly, doods. He can probably can take can take credit for THIS:

    Hello Everybody, We just purchased this car 2 days ago, and were given the "HARD sell" to purchase an extended warranty. What does anybody have for an opinion on this matter? Thanks, TT"

    Bottom line: Thank you GAWD for my life, my boring days, and the fact that I was paying attention.

    Driving is all about attention span. That's really all there is to it. People who space out or go manic-depressive or paranoid on the road better not dare judge my Bimmer, or come close enough to look at my school tramp stamp on my butt.

    People get rationally furious in an accident. The car, and the institution of "safety" and "adulthood" failed you. Nothing is infallible. You're not special. It really does happen to you. Oh btw man, you have cancer because you smoke and you lied when you said you only smoke e-cigs.

    I love how I had to hand in my interim driver license to the police officer. Single, btw. Made fun of my "interim" paper license.

    Him: So where's your REAL license?

    Me:....@#@$%#$%

    Him: Ahhh. You're one of those new drivers.

    Me: ...@$@#%#%$#

    Him: So you have an INTERIM license?

    He's lucky he's cute. Or I woulda slugged him. No really, I would have. I could have. I should have.

    Omgosh. I think he's into me. He gave me his card. Has his name on it and number and everything!!!!! Maybe I should ask him what is a better name for our third child: Lucy or Charlie (both girl names. Eff you.) Oh and if he doesn't want to shave the heads of our babies, then so be it. It's not meant to be. My aunt shaved my cousin's head twice when she was a baby. People thought she was a dood baby, but she now has thick, super cool hair.

    I'm a hybrid like you, but half-Thai, half-Japanese. We do the hair-shaving thing too. Except my dad was so freaking protective of me that he blocked all attempts from my mother to get her razors next to his poor, frail daughter's skull. Now I have thin, broom-stick hair. Now I know who to blame. Accidents are the worst that can happen to anyone, especially when it's not your fault, and loser cops here will hit on a pretty girl when they see one. Wouldn't dare you to slug the guy though, even if he had the face of a dog. Especially not in Pasadena. But anyway, what the hell - IS - out there in Pasadena? If you don't get a decent lawyer to handle paperwork, you'll have to see more of this idiot noob in a white Prius than you'd deserve. It will definitely suck. :(

    Yeah.. insurance sometimes can be pretty much genius these days, despite the so-called "hassle". I won't ever see the e-idiot again. Yay!

    How cool! What language(s) do you speak? My dad is Syrian, and I don't speak Arabic, but I really wish my dad thought it was important enough to teach me when I was young. Not too late, but I don't think it's worth the effort and time anymore. I read/write Korean, and I'm reaaally grateful. It's quite cool being "mixed" sometimes, no?

    In Pasadena? Old Town is the coolest. Green Street Tavern. 21 Choices. Paseo Colorado. Friday and Saturdays at the Ritz Carleton feature live blues bands at the bar... the Colorado Bar...Tokyo Wako in the evenings. The 35er.

    Are you looking to visit?

    Breakfast: Fox's on Lake Ave. or Marston's on East Walnut Street. Nearby in Monrovia is Peach's Cafe.
    All really home-style grandmama's American breakfast/lunch.

    Lunch: Lee's Hoagies features great Jersey-style hoagies, with even better service. President Thai has authentic Thai fare. Very reasonable price. My favorites: BBQ Beef or BBQ Chicken. Gourmet Cobbler Factory: Would love to eat here more than I do, but the lack of a dine-in option defeats the purpose of "going out to lunch" for me. Maybe El Metate: Everything here is pretty good. My favorite is the Ceviche tostada. I eat a lot, and trust me, you only need two.

    OMgosh This post is turning into so much fun for me to plan out and arrange and type! I get to live vicariously through this comment. Yay!

    ....

    Lucky Baldwins in Old Town for World Cup repeats in the evening.
    Magnolia at 46 S. Lake Ave.
    Barneys beanery in pasadena. Not as cool as the one in Hollywood, of course.

    Haha I'm born in the Pasadena circle of random loons, so I like returning to the area every so often.
    Hope you snap pictures and post them if you ever drop by! Maybe not on this forum actually. It doesn't seem to have a Post Your Picture thread? Maybe I'll fact-check on that and edit this comment if necessary.

    Edit: Befriend someone who belongs to The Athenaeum Club at Caltech. The $9.95 buffet lunch is the best around.

    My dad's Thai, but I can barely speak Thai, so don't feel too ashamed about the lack of Syrian verbiage in your vocab. At least you've got the Korean part down pat. Now it'll be a breeze to watch the endless slew of gag-worthy romantic Kdramas that have barraged the front page queue on every other online asian community. ;p No, but honestly, I'd love to learn Korean too. We do a lot of business with Korea-born businessman, and it would definitely give me a one-up. I read/speak Japanese pretty fluently though. Most of me not wanting to learn Thai was because I had this stupid complex thing about that half of me. I was always like, "Omgawd, I don't want to learn this lower-life Southeast Asian language! I don't want to eat with my fingers! I don't want to wear those stupid itchy dresses just to go Cousin XYZ's wedding!" But that was just me being immature. I was a total douchebag with my dad about it for the longest time, but I'm over it now.

    As for the photo thing, I'd do it. I'd do it in a heartbeat, except a big part of me feels totally BDD and I always feel so ugly in front of the camera. I'm a little jealous that you can pose in front of it so effortlessly with that freaking cool winged-eyeliner look I could never pull off! Euurrgh!

    Anyway, I haven't been to Pasadena...ever. Nor Hollywood. Nor Beverly Hills. Mostly just hang around the Long Beach-Lakewood-Cerritos area because that's where I live and work. Farther than that? La Habra? My boyfriend-who-isn't-really-a-boyfriend lives there. There are a helluva a lot of Korean people here in Cerritos though. I'm not sure why. But I guess it makes sense since down here Long Beach it's so Cambodian/Mexican-centric. People of like ethnicity tend to group together, and the ones who are "mixed" like us can go just about anywhere. All the pure Korean girls kind of...look the same though. No offense. It's just - Well, it's like they were manufactured by the same company or something. Makes me wonder if plastic surgery had a hand in it... No?

    Thanks for the dining rec's. I'm a serious ceviche addict - it seriously makes my mouth water just thinking about it - and it got me really excited. Last place I ate ceviche at was at El Rocoto in Cerritos. The fish ceviche was pretty bomb. But I don't know authentic that is being Asian and all. I'll definitely give El Metate a try. Lee's Hoagies is also a definite if I'm down there. Now that I think about it, my friends invited me to Old Town Pasadena, but it was just me trying to stay inside my little comfort zone box and not wanting to explore things outside of it. Will definitely put your stuff on my criteria list to go if the girls invite me again.

    (Also, damn, I think I just out-stayed my welcome here. My god that's a long post! So I'll live it at that for now.)

    ^ Sorry for the typos. It sucks having to sneak a little post here and there at work. Stupid corporate policies.
