so where do i start?


i went to goodwill today and cleaned out their little boy's section.
hahaha it's all northern getaway t-shirts.

there's the yellow t-rex who is bursting through a bunch of hockey pucks while breaking a hockey stick.

then the robotic bull in front of the backdrop of flames

then the dragon in a lightning storm holding a basketball and a soccerball in it's claws.

but enough about northern getaway.
i also got a white hockey jersey that i was going to turn into something better (i.e. sluttier) but it turns out it fits well already.

and then. to top it off..

i got a shirt for the pimp n' hoe kimmy and chrissy's house is holding this friday.
oh man. the only way to describe it: loud.

on the walk home a guy tried to get me into his car. he asked me if i wanted a ride then he just kept talking. he's opening some restauraunts this sunday? he owns some payphones? he asks if i'm chinese or mixed? he was weird. i say no, i live close enough, and i'm gonna run some errands first.

crossing the street i saw a green balloon bouncing on the road. the guy walking towards me saw too. he was well dressed university, possibly grad, student. i thought about how i was sad that the balloon was going to be run over and pop. and how it seemed so innocent, childlike and such. i turn to look at the balloon once i've crossed, and i see the university guy pause, then turn around to pick it up off the road and walk home with it in his arms.

my mom took me out to dinner for chinese. we had a great talk, and i opened up and told her some things i'd been avoiding telling her about. i was very happy, she was happy, it was fantastic. she used the incredible hulk as a way to describe how i can't ignore what my dad thinks of my marks, like i said i would try to. the conversation was about everything. i will cherish it forever.

she told me a story of how her parents (my gong gong and paw paw <-- hahahahaa .aw.) met.

HONG KONG
my grampa hung out mainly with two guys. one was a straight A super smart kind of guy. smart in all subjects, arts, science.. and so on. my grampa thought he'd be able to learn from him. the other guy was kind of a playboy. so the three of them would go into this building often, and the playboy guy had a thing for the elevator girl there. but it turns out the elevator girl had a thing for my grandpa! (my mom, imitating my grandpa as he puts his hand to his face in confusion:"' i just don't know why, why she thought that way'" so funny. i've seen pictures of him when he was younger. he was really hot! haha). SO. the playboy knew this and being a playboy, had gone to one of his friends for help in finding a girl to distract my grandpa with, while he moved in on this elevator girl. turns out his friend had a little sister. so his friend introduced my grandpa to his little sister, but as it turns out, that straight A academic guy had a thing for the little sister! so it was a fight from the start for her attention. at this time war had broken out (between china and japan), my grandpa was about 17 and about to enroll in university. however, his father back in macaw was worried about the family matchmaking business. my grandpa's younger half-brother (the "traitor" one, half japanese one who thought japan would win so was going against china to deal/spy with japanese officers) was supposed to take over, but my grandpa's dad didnt' think he'd do a good job. so my grandpa was to go back to macaw and take over (which would lead to his kidnapping and being held for ransom, but that's a different story). so my grandpa went to the little sister and told her that he wanted to take her back to macaw with him. where he would marry her. she didn't know what to do nor how to choose between my grandpa and the academic guy. she was in high school. she went to (mom: "' not a buddhist temple..but a temple.. you know, the ones they go to to ask questions, they *she bows her head and puts her hands together and moves her hands forward and back*, then they pull a stick like thing out of a thing, and shooop, it says waht to do? and they do it?'" me:"... tao?" haha i had no idea what i was talking about) a temple where she asked what to do. it said to go with my grandpa and marry him. so she did. and the rest, as they say, is history (and me).

my mom: "i dont' think she shoudl have. i mean.. the other guy was soo academic! and he ended up going to the states as a professor, he chose art and literature although he could have done science and math, and he must have been quite progressive.."

me: but we wouldn't be here!"

mom: oh yeah. ahuhhuh huh. *pie in face*

one day, years and years later, my grandpa and my paw paw were walking down hong kong business district and just randomly, they ran into the academic guy. the academic guy had married by then and so on, and he was in hong kong for a conference. that was the last time they saw him, they didnt' keep in touch. the academic guy died only a few years after that, in his 60s.

ah yes. the elevator girl and playboy got married, supposedly.

so after dinner, leah tells me that i should come over. she's drinking in her garage. haahhaha aw leah.

after some time, i finally come over. she's out there with a few of her housemates, drinking and sitting on a couch that was in the garage. some of them are wearing rob's clothes they found in the garage. hahaa.. it was a good time. i rode in the shopping cart as jeff, (the person with malcolm waaaaay back when in the hospital who had gotten in a bike accident and got a concussion, loosing some memory, who robin saw in the hospital!) pushed me.

they asked me if i wanted to get in. i said "these things always end up with someone smashing into a curb. but okay." so i got in. the first time i actually made it up a curb, somehow getting it to go up someone's driveway. but the slope sent me back down and i verrry...slowly...fell..over. the second time i was going much faster and made it up a driveway again, missing a curb, but smashed into a landscaping piece. i was teetering on two wheels but recovered. hidden talent? i think so.

leah tells me that there's a new rumour going around. this one that i made out with kipp after the banquet. rob had brought it up to her. i guess it originated from stirling house (the boy's house). i mused who started it. must have been mike. i KNOW it was mike. i wonder what kipp said to it. but kipp wasn't there, says rob says leah. kipp's running practice tomorrow, i think it'll be a good time.

we were laughing about how i should handle it.
Q: steph, did you make out with kipp?

- OF COURSE NOT! we had wild animal sex in the middle of the street. what can i say? i'm a traditional kind of girl.

- yes. he sucks.

- yeah. then with malcolm. then with leah. then with the whole macdonald family. then with you. you sucked.

- "no". he "just walked me home". heh. heh. hehehahahahHAHAHHA

- no, that was with gaye.

and so on.

leah told me she's going to tell anyone who asks me that yes, i did.

i came home then, half-duurnk and talked to laurie. that was also a good conversation, but for different reasons.



it looks like her head is on my body. and i challenge anyone to come up with an emotion to go with that face. just one. i swear, it's the mona lisa of incredibly disturbing.
