If you guys happen to be around Fullerton, Ca I really, really suggest going to a teahouse called Veronese Cafe. Their food and drinks are a bit pricey but the place is so visually striking that you really don’t care what you’re going to buy there as long as it’s good (which it IS). Picture a backyard with a garden that’s filled with a plethora of vintage junk and weird random knick knacks hanging off the walls, surrounded by couches, chairs, and tables of sorts and you have one great fucking tea house.
My friends and I went there last night. We ate, we drank, and played Dirty Minds which is a board game I’m not very good at because my mind is usually in the gutter and it can never really get out unless somebody explains it to me.
We also took pictures. It took us about fifty shots to get one good photo where all of our faces were kept straight and oh so serious (we wanted to imitate those really old creepy photos where no one ever smiles), but even my face in there was a complete joke that Matt thought I was trying to hold in my farts.
On to school, remember that Vietnamese class I was talking about? Well I have a white man sitting next to me, probably in his mid-late forties. He refers me as “em” which is in Vietnamese, can be used as a term of endearment or correct me if I’m wrong, it can also be used generally for younger people, right? He also told me I was naughty in Vietnamese once. Yeah, I uh…have no idea where that came from, but I thought that was a little weird.
I also made a new friend in that class, and she’s pretty cool so far. She can’t see red colors because she’s partially colorblind. The last time I had class with her, she wore a red long sleeve shirt, so I informed her, “You know you’re wearing green right?” LOLZ.
Ew dirty old men making comments like that make you feel soo nasty. I’ve been getting a lot of emails from people who read my blog sending me pictures of themselves (not naked though… thank god). Makes you feel soo dirty. I don’t even have anything provocative on my blog!
Hahaha… that shirt comment to your color-blind friend is hilarious!

You’re a big meanie HOW DARE YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOMEONE’S UH… DISABILITY? (can’t find a better word) FOR AMUSEMENT YOU EVIL BAD WRONG BLAH DE DAH. I’m betting she probably wasn’t offended by that, BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT’S REALLY MEAN BAD BAD BAD BAD okay I’m done. Lol.
Also, I love restaurants like that. There aren’t any ’round here because nobody in the area actually has a sense of aesthetics. Ergh.

You know what that reminds me of? The backdrop in Madonna’s American Pie video
Gahd. Creepy people… I hate it when wayyy older people hit on me too. It makes me want to shower because I always feel disgustingly dirty afterwards.

“we wanted to imitate those really old creepy photos where no one ever smiles” <—– you guys nailed it! I scrolled down your blog to see if I the past post was the only post I hadn’t read yet, so I went down past the pictures, and seen the photos at quick glance and was thinknig in my head if the first blog was about American history or something. (Well, besides there being a big American flag)
Sorry about the guy in your class. It usually seems like there’s always one of those in every class. Call him Uncle in Vietnamese (accidently on purpose) to remind him that he’s, umm, old.

Oh and I forgot to talk about it when I commented but I totally cracked up about the Dirty Minds game. I’m THAT person too. You need to explain innuendos to some people. You need to un-dirty-fy things for me

OMG You are so cruel!!!! LOL. I bet she asked someone else later that day and they said “No girl, you got on red.”
She’s gonna be HEATED when you go back to class, lol.

haha my brother is actually color blind that he sees green as yellow. when we were little we used to play this game called fatal frame on ps2, and we kept on losing cos he couldn’t differentiate. that’s when i knew he was color blind lol.
“why do you kept on going there?! are you blind?!”
“you said to go into the yellow zone!”
“I SAID GREEN YOU DUMBASS”
“THAT’S YELLOW STUPID”
“…………….”
