I could have gone to Mt. Hood where I could have done snowboarding. But unlike last year in Oregon, it's been snowing quite a lot there in the area. That means I have to put snow chains on my tires. I don't wanna do that as I just got my nails done.....
| 1. | I got this 1 dollar coin as part of the change at Starbucks this morning. It looks different from the one I knew 10 years ago. It says "One dollar" on it alright but I am afraid to use it as people might mix it up with a quarter. |
2. | It's true people are very friendly here in Portland. I like that. But I wouldn't like it on a daily basis. I mean I usually get asked if I need help at the grocery store. Do I look confused? Please let me shop alone... Yeah, I am awful..
|
3. | Portland is proabably good for 3 days but I've been here for 4. I think I am ready to hang out with friends in a bigger city. It's a nice city though |
4. | It's extremely true people in Portland are friendly. Given that fact, when I hear "hello" from my behind, I look back and instinctly say "hi!" with a smile. But s/he was just saying "hello" to answer her/his phone.... I turn out to be a freak... |
5. | A new idiom I learnt. This guy approached me and asked if I had considered hiring myself out. I didn't get it so I had to ask him. I don't dress like a hooker, damn it. |
Anyway, it's a micracle I haven't used my umbrella here yet.I wish you a fantabulous day!
OMG! I can't believe someone asked you if you had considered hiring yourself out! that's outrageous! I don't know if I would be flattered or offended! Probably flattered ;-)
Your comment about having just had your nails done made me laugh out loud! :o)
Sounds like you're having a great time! Safe travels! GB
You should have at least determined your "value" by getting the guy to talk about price, before telling him to get lost :)
*Oh oh oh!* I've been asked that before and I found it hilarious because I was into the guy. If the guy who wanted to hire you is not your type, than it can be insulting... Have a fab weekend!!
The guy who asked if you thought about hiring yourself out reminds me of the times I've been in Thailand and idiots assumed I was a hooker. Sometimes I felt like hanging my US passport around my neck!!!!!! I often got guilty looks from the losers once they realized I was not a "sucky sucky five dollah" ho!!!!!! >: \
Oh, I showed one of my former students your chopstick rest origami lesson--she loved it! You are a FLASH god!
Odd Trivia you may not care to know: That dollar coin in the picture is a "Sacajawea" coin, named after the Native American/Indian princess of the same name that assisted the explorers Lewis & Clarke in the early 19th century. Those explorers mapped out much of Pacific Northwest of the USA.
The other dollar coin you may be familiar with from about 10 years ago was a "Susan B. Anthony", whom if I am correct, was an activist for women's suffrage (voting rights) around the turn of the 20th century. Both are annoying quarter sized though, and makes me wish we would make a distinctive dollar coin either bigger than, or noticeably sturdier than a quarter. They do come in quite handy for use on the subway or parking in NYC. though. :)
You're hiring yourself out nowadays? What's the going price?
And whoa, is this a tour around America or what?
Paul
did you slap that guy for asking you if you're a whore? damn!
Hire yourself out? That is so funny, I wonder why he would ask you that? Where were you?
You should have used your umbrella on that jerk!
Wow, Shigeki, see how hot you are! People think you are a gigolo! ;-)
Shigeki, don't take that idiot personnally. I have friends in Parkdale and one time I was walking to my car & 2 young punks were following me asking how much? I said "I don't think you can afford me" and got into my vette. Another time I was leaving a bar to get cigarettes and it was pouring rain, a car was honking at me across the street and I crossed over thinking it was a friend. This polish guy asking me how much? I flipped out , (mainly because I crossed the street in the freakin' rain ) and told him how I was going to get his licence and call his wife. I look like the girl next door, I had my jeans, docs and a hoodie on. Some hooker.
Hi GayBoyDiary,
I know!!! I was so insulted and I couldn't do anything ironic to him because it was the least expected thing I had ever been told.... Well, I don't want to ruin my nails with the snow chains, you know. :-) You have a great weekend!
Hi Steve,
hahaha. It was too upsetting at that time but I am now curious how much I would be. Not that I understand the market price but it's no harm to get that but I might be VERY cheap. :-) You have a great weekend!
Hi AJ,
You have? That's way cool considering you were into the guy who asked you for that. Well, the guy who asked me wasn't my type at all. I mean he was nowhere close to my type.... You have a great weekend!
Hi GaijinGirl,
I guess I should have been playing it a little bit with the guy but I wasn't really in the mood to play him. Well, I wish I were a Flash god but I am hardly one as all I do with Flash is kinda very easy type thingy.... huh.... You have a great weekend!
Hi Seekeronos,
Wow, I am so impressed. Thank you very much for your valuable Introduction to United States of America lesson. Now, I have become wiser :-) How did you know this? By the way, I still haven't used that dollar coin yet. I've gotta before I leave. :-) You have a great weekend!
Hi Paul,
Who said I was? :-) How much do you think I am? I have no idea about the market price... I am kinda short on cash right now so I could use 1 million dollars. :-) Well, I am not touring around, dear. I am very innocent. :-) Good weekend!
Hi Raph,
I wish I could but I was just standing right there and shocked! I should have done that but then, I wasn't sure how to react properly.... You have a great weekend!
HI Cesar,
I was at this gay club the other day. That's where I was asked by this sleazy guy. It is funny now but I was very mad. How could I look like a hooker? ugh! You have a great weekend!
HI Hanuman,
That's right! I should have. Instead, I didn't do anything to him. I just walked away.... what a freak.... You have a gre at weekend!
Hi T. Kevin,
Well, hookers do not have to be hot necessarily, do they? Some have this weird preference.... I wish I were a gigolo but I am just average. :-) You have a great weekend!
Hi Maggie,
Oh, that's a great answer you said. I should have said something similar!!! I guess I was just too shocked by the question he said. :-) I don't know what's up with these people. But they should not have great lives. You have a great weekend!
Wow! This can be one particular of the most useful blogs We've ever arrive across on this subject. Actually Wonderful. I am also an expert in this topic therefore I can understand your effort.
If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
