take a hint

the most polite form of rejection is avoiding. despite the fact that you are prob thinking to yourself nooo i would like to be rejected to my face.
no, i don't think you would

here is how to politely reject someone

1. give him your number. (it saves his face from being embarrassed.) you can give him a fake but he will prob try and test it in front of you. or chase you down the street to test it in front of you. 2. but when he calls - don't answer.
yes, in thailand there is no voice mail, so he can call anywhere from 4-10 times in a row. Don't give in and answer. The ringing phone will be annoying, but DO NOT answer. Learn from my friend Caro's mistakes.
3. Do not respond to his texts.
It depends on the guy if you receive a text or a call first. You most likely will get both though. DO NOT respond to the text you receive. again we are going for polite here, so if you "politely" respond with a rejection in a text back you are already doing a big no no. Because you just made things rude.
4. He may try and find you on facebook. This will be funny, because you never gave him your last name. all he knows is that you are francis or frances, you are currently in chiang mai, and your accent sounds american. and you might have said you were from nashville, but you were too drunk and dont remember. When he finds you on facebook he might message you first.
he might say something like "Hey dude! You gave me a wrong number."
this is funny, cause if you did then you did it for a certain reason and he is calling you out on it or is asking for rejection.
to save your own face you may respond with "no i didn't" or something simpler. don't inquire anything else or share any details.
after all he already found you on facebook and thats already creepy. especially the things he could find out.
5. since you sort of opened a can of worms responding you may now be creative - the more the better. and come up with an elaborate story something to avoid seeing this man or woman.
6. if he doesn't get it still, stop responding all together
7. you feel bad? give it flat out. my fave way is in writing, the other ways just ended in "why?" and "can we meet and talk about this?" it may be rude, but it is certainly no time to be polite. especially if he hangs out outside your apt waiting for you to come home

bump and grind

i just want to reiterate how much i hate getting a penis bumped on me when I'm trying to dance. It's distracting and uncomfortable. and def turn off. esp when they grab me when I'm trying to distance myself from that thing and hold me closer and then murmur "do you feel anything?"
{shudder}

also try googling bump and grind with safety search off. tehehe

a list of grievances

Thai culture.

The longer I am here the more a mystery this place is to me. as in what the fuck do they care about and spend their time on?

1. It certainly isn't history.
They know very little about their own past and nothing about world history. Don't even think about mentioning WWII or Nazis to them.

Don't try to bring up September 11 to them, which was only a few years ago, hell that's a current event. They don't know it.

2. It isn't health...or exercise
Those words are completely foreign to them. they do know fat and thin though. and occasionally they have a diet day where they only eat fruit. but that's only a day. and they will not exercise. or walk. anywhere.

3. English
They can't speak it. even if it was their major in the university. fuck trying to have a conversation with em.

4. Movies and Music
ok, maybe they know thai and korean stuff. but that's it. that's like only knowing things from tennessee.

5. Religion
It's a buddist country, but don't ask questions about buddism cause they don't know

6. Games
Ask them to come up with a game. they only do a game that you taught them.

7. Technology
if you ask them to fix your computer they think it's real cute to delete your music and leave you with 9 carpenter's albums

8. Books
They only read books with pictures.

9. Ambition
huh?

10. Motivation
never heard of it. why do we have to?

Love

From the moment I walked in the door I was in love
seeing a good friend
A friend that I only saw once a week.
There were always drunken greetings,
a stumble into the bathroom.
a stop at the bar.
This friend could never be done sober.
lip gloss in my pocket. keys in kaths purse
we danced.
When it was up to me I would stay until it was absolutely time to go.
and then i left my friend until the next monday.

almost esphyiated

im drunk. i forgot what i was going to post. it was going to be short though. i taste squid in mah mouth.
