Well, last night I was finally, for the first time, I was alone for dinner and/or without nurishment for an evening. So, I still have not tried the tap water yet. If you're here you notice a large amount of water coolers and purifiers everywhere. Even the driking fountains in the school are water coolers with a bunch of metal cups near it. Now this can mean three things. One: the tap water is bad, Two: nothing wrong with the tap water but Koreans still drink out of coolers and purifiers cause they like new tech (which is really true, Koreans love anything flashy and new tech), or Three: the water is bad for drinking but okay for everything else i.e. cooking and washing. I didn't know and I am saving money so I boiled my water at home and (using the left over drink containers I have cause I can figure out the trash system yet...yes there is a trash system) filled every container with cooled down, boiled water....and read til bed.
Oh, and hot water showers litertary last like 3mins. It took some experimenting to do but I figured it out that it is about 3mins. But, if you turn it off and turn it back on, you have another 3mins. Odd, so now I take showers in 3mins. Hehe, I spend more time brushing my teeth than I do showering now.
Also, today, after lunch, my Co-worker, (English Teacher, who teaches in the room next to mine) also called my partner, sat me down and talked about things. How I like the school and such, my apartment and what I need to be happy there; she tells me that she is going to teach me Korean and I am going to help her English, we spent a lot of time doing that; she was surprized as to how much I already know cause I'm not using it, I told her it was because people want me to speak English so that they how I say things....and because most Koreans speak really fast and my brain can't keep up and translate my words fast enough. She was also surprized as how much of the Korean alphabet I know (of which I started learning about 15mins before lunch). We told a few jokes and she wanted to know if there were a other hand gestures that American use in 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' I told not offically, but some frinds of mine made up a few like dynamite, the hand of God, atheist, sub-orbital meteor. I didn't tell her the last one....she wouldn't have got it. But then we realized it was like 3pm and we had work to do so we went over our lesson plans and I finally know how this teaching job is going to work. We each have five classes of increasing learning levels. I teach conversation, she teaches phonics. It confused me cause no one told me we were switching classes everyday. Also, we won't have our textbooks by the time class starts so we have to improvise til then. Well I enlisted the help of a former language teacher of mine and things are uber cool on my side in that department. And yes, I gave her the data to so she wouldn't be left hanging. And I was going to get supplies to decorate my room but she gave me a neat idea, let the kids do it. And why not I say...but I still need scotch tape and a black marker (my partner gave lots of left over paper, but iterated that this is just one time and I'll have to get my own from now on).

Tree-Fitty
I just thought of this and had to look it up but look at the entry below for an update.....this is an episode of south park btw....
THOMAS: Say, would you crackers like to hear about the time we saw the Loch Ness monster?
STAN: No, that's okay.
THOMAS: Ooh, it must've been about seven, eight years ago. Me and the little lady was out on this boat, you see, all alone at night, when all of a sudden this huge creature, this giant crustacean from the paleolithic era, comes out of the water.
NELLIE: We was so scared, Lord have mercy, I jumped up in the boat and I said "Thomas, what on earth is that creature?!"
THOMAS: It stood above us looking down with these big red eyes,-
NELLIE: Oh, it was so scary!
THOMAS: -and I yelled. I said, "What do you want from us, monster?!" And the monster bent down and said, "...Uh I need about tree-fitty."
KYLE: What's tree-fitty?
THOMAS: Three dollars and fifty cents.
NELLIE: Tree-fitty.
STAN: He wanted money?
THOMAS: That's right. I said "I ain't giving you no tree-fitty you goddamn Loch Ness monster! Get your own goddamn money!"
NELLIE: I gave him a dollar.
THOMAS: She gave him a dollar.
NELLIE: I thought he'd go away if I gave him a dollar.
THOMAS: Well of course he's not gonna go away, Nellie! You gave him a dollar, he's gonna assume you got more!
[some time passes...]
THOMAS: ...And that was the third time we saw the Loch Ness monster. Then one time, I believe it was July-
NELLIE: August.
THOMAS: -August. There's a knock on the door. I open it, and there's this cute little girl scout-
NELLIE: And she was so adorable, with the little pig tails and all.
THOMAS: -And she says to me, "How would you like to buy some cookies?" And I said "Well, what kind do you have?" She had thin mints, graham crunchy things-
NELLIE: Raisin oatmeal.
THOMAS: -Raisin oatmeal, and I said "We'll take a graham crunch. How much will that be?" And she looks at me and she says, "...Uh I need about tree-fitty."
NELLIE: ...Tree-fitty.
THOMAS: Well, it was about that time that I notice that girl scout was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the protozoic era.
NELLIE: The Loch Ness monster.
THOMAS: I said, "Dammit monster! Get off my lawn! I ain't giving you no tree-fitty!" It said, "how about just two-fitty?" I said, "Oh, now it's only two-fitty!! What?! Is there a sale on Loch Ness munchies or something?!"
NELLIE: Lord, he was angry.
THOMAS: Damn right, I was angry!
NELLIE: Not you, the monster. He was about to kick your ass.
THOMAS: Aah, shut your mouth, woman!
[some time passes...]
THOMAS: ...And then these aliens had me up on their ship, right? They was probing me and all that.
NELLIE: We had taco salad that night.
THOMAS: Don't matter what we had for dinner woman! Now this alien had a big head and big black eyes, and it was all bent over me. I said, "What do you want from me, alien?!" and do you know what he said?
NELLIE: Tree-fitty.
THOMAS: Uh. Let me tell the damn story now! He said, "tree-fitty." And so I realized I that it wasn't no alien, it was that God-damned Loch Ness monster again, trying to trick me into giving him tree-fitty by dressing up like an alien. Don't that just beat all?!
NELLIE: I had just given him tree-fitty the week before.
THOMAS: What?! You gave that monster another damn tree-fitty?!
NELLIE: He tricked me.
THOMAS: Well no wonder the damn monster keeps coming back to our house! You keep giving it tree-fitty!

Work Day
So yesterday, after some shopping (TP yay), I got home and sat there quietly again. I read a little and then decided to check the radio one last time. I checked my CD player (no cds) and FM radio (no AM) a few days ago and nothing but static on every station. So I decided maybe it is at only certain parts of the day the radio is on. I turned it on and again every station static; however, I do barely pick up something behind the static so I figure that this town is far from signals (just my luck as of late). Well, I get up and suddenly the signal changed, still static but I can hear more so I ran all over the apartment looking for a strong signal. Low andbehold the best signal I can get is in the corner of the window sill....5in from my head where I initially was. But the signal is still static-y. So I cruise through the channels cause I heard that there is 2 american channels. I found one and listen and it is a DJ giving english lessons to a Korean girl so I keep looking. I found an Armed Forces station that is stuck in the Vietnam era for music, and of course, a little preachy; but still oldie rock and news. I must have just listen to it for hours. I felt like the LOST cast when they found that radio signal from Hawaii for a few hours. Just bliss and memories of home.
Today I have some studing to do and to establish a cirriclum. I don't know where to begin honestly. And tomorrow I have to decorate the room. Now I just need to find a art/school supply store or something.
I also picked up a phone card with like 10hrs on it. My daylight hours for phone call calling are as this: 5-8pm central time, this is 7-10am my time. I get off at about 3 in the morning there so....
If you want call shoot an EMAIL to me not a post.

Yeah....
Today I quiz the kids on how well they speak english and give them english names for fun.
Well, update on me. I'm losing weight already but probably not in a good way (not eating much...not spending much). And the ps2 won't work. I though it did and was waiting for the TV to be installed in my place well this is what happened. I got the converter to work the ps2 however, it was just that little red light that came on. I was so happy that I got that light to work so last night I got my TV and there are no channels so I thought I would just play so movie or a game for a few hours. I plugged it in and turned the power on and it shut off immediatly. Starting takes to much power and I tried the higher setting but no red light (which you need to start it in the first place) so I tried the low and the the high, nope. So I have no TV, no PS2, no phone, no newspaper, and little money. Thank god I brought lots of books.
Oh, and the semi-bay window has no curtains or blinds....I know what time of day it always is.
But I do have a Gameboy with very old games.

So...
My apartment turned out pretty great. I don't have a bed so sleeping on the floor is kinda hard. Thank god I brought my pillow and blanket,....and trench coat, and grey coat, and indian shaw.
My place has a mini-frige, will have a tv, the ps2 works, 2 surface stove, a western style toliet, a stand closet, and small cabnet. The Manager even bought me a few supplies to help out. I knew I needed TP so we went out to get some and he bought paper towels by accident. And a huge semi-bay window.
Everyone is really nice and so glad to meet me. But that feeling of lonelyness is creeping up on me. We'll see....
I start tomorrow with class evaluations. Basically to find out how well the students can understand English so we know where to start from. I'll update again, probably everyday.

Quick report
Well, I'm writing this now cause I might not get another chance soon. I am at the school and they are all very glad to meet me; however, they asked me to teach another class an hour earlier of the parents. And they did promise me more money if I do. They also asked if I would be able to teach another class another hour earlier than that one. Again more money if I do. That class would be of higher level of kids.
I will be teaching kids of about 6-8yrs old. They have a very small understanding of English, but I am given MANY books that they will be learning from. I will teach the kids in terms of 2 months each time. Then a new batch of kids. My first week here is not really work. I come to class that my partner is teaching and watch and listen to her for this week. Then I start my term next week.
I have meet many of the staff and they all are very exicted I am here. They keep saying they were waiting for me for a long time. I also made a decent friend at the head office in Icheon today. For the first time here I didn't feel so alone cause she spoke VERY good english. I might see her this weekend along with an american friend of hers who I will hopefully hit it off with. There is also a University nearby that they tell me has a lot of Americans. And an american military base nearby.
One bad thing though is that I we are having terrible time finding an apartment. Apparently most of the housing units were taken up by the other University. One that I looked at was nice but had no frige or washer which both I was promised. We are currently waiting to get a call from some one about a place with frige but if we don't find one I don't know what to do. I agreed on the notion that the apartment was semi-furnished and although they did a nice thing in waiting for me to pick a place I may not get what I was promised. I don't know I am going to survive without the stuff they promised intionally unless I go to bare basics like washing all my clothes in the sink and getting only dried foods. The job is great and they are making me feel like I am the only capable for this job. I think they would like me here indefinatly. They tried so hard to find someone. They say they have been waiting for 6 months to teach english. And this is a public school that doesn't get this sort of education where the private schools do and of course they charge a lot. It is just a situation but I really almost called it quits when I saw the best apartment offered so far. Then they took me back to the school and the kids warmed my heart again. I would be such an ass to do this to so many kids but I agreed to a contract that is not being met (as of yet). The apartment sounds nice (even comes with a tv apparently).
It is raining btw. Apparently it is the rainy season. I like the rain. Also had some food finally. It is really kinda cheap though fried. I'm gonna try to find an internet cafe tonight so I can talk again. Also, need to get to the store; regardless, where I end up....I need some TP.

"When Raptor was in Korea's Land...Let my people go"
Sorry, Ferris Buller flash back. The Solitude is setting in, of course that could be because I haven't the motel room. And why you ask, well, I'm going to a different part of the country and there is no reason to walk around trying to find my way around in a town I will rarely go. Also, it helps me refrain from impluse spending. I was told by the Manager to go and eat Korean food everyday so I get use to it. But I decide to fast for a few days considering the 2nd day I was here I couldn'r stop blowing my nose and has a wicked sinus headache. So, water, maybe some tea and plenty of rest is what I did and I feel better. Hopefully a lot of mucus was expelled by now.
One thing that I am upset about is my playstation won't work here in the motel room. It could be an isolated incident (the plug adapter and power converter work but sit kinda loose in the plug). I saw the red light go on but then immdetilly fade away. Also, I plugged it into a a three plug holder which seems a little big for most plugs. We'll see I guess.
Well, today I go to work. It is 5am now but I can't sleep much more. I should get a place today and hopefully a bank account with a little money from my first pay check. Problem is that I can't find much on this town. I'm 100% certain it isn't like a rice pattie town, but something concerns me. The Manager told me that Ansung City is a rather traditional town. But how traditional. Traditional in just culture and mannerisms or does that include Tech also. I'm Icheon and Seoul are one thing but Ansung City is hard to find by web search. Best I found was some stuff about factories and businesses. They wouldn't just stick me in some place with no electricy or something, I know cause they told me. The main reason i don't have place yet is cause they want me to have an apartment an American would feel comfortable in but they were unsure about that so why not consult the American when he gets here. Short notice and all but will see. I guess that is what is so bothersome (small it my be) is I just have to wait and see for a lot of things. I'm mean I'm teaching like four classes to today, well, intros anyway, but still, these are kids who have very little English training.
Okay, I'm going to at least write down what I need to do on my blog so that it is written down somewhere:
-Give expenses to Manager for re-imbersment of funds
-Find apartment preferable close to school
-Get bank account
-Get phone card and find out how to make international calls
-Find Internet usage in new town
-Find Grocery store and buy essentials
-Listen to Korean Audio at least 3-4 times today
-Find important documents in Lugguge
-Try to find cheap food
-Explore the town a little but remember way home with each step
-Make sure I can wire transfer or pay bills from bank account
I think that is all. I'm gonna get cleaned up, have another cup of tea, maybe some coffee, and wait for a phone call form the Manager...or call him. I'll make the call around 9am if I still don't hear anything.

This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Okay, so it is kinda hot, crowded, dirty (not the good kind), but not smelly...well, smelly but slightly spicy food smelly. I got to my hotel room finally...spent about 4hrs with the manager of the program...not a bad three hours (he knows good music), but still, after a total of an 18hr flight...okay, okay 17 cause of the delay, but still. I haven't slept since Tuesday/Wednesday evening/morning. I slept as much as one could sleep on an international flight. In-flight movies were...huh drawing blanks on titles anyway, The landing of the pilgrams when they meet the indians with colin ferrel(?), the basketball movie set in like 1960/70's with like the first time texas had an inter-racial basketball team. A few korean films, The newest harrison ford film, King Kong, and 8 Below. Now I have 13hrs on this flight. I've seen King Kong a lot and the others I didn't care for cept the Indian one but waaaayyy to slow. I would passout and awake incomfort and realize like just missed 30mins. So I saw 8 Below a lot. Never have choked back so many tears in an 13hr span.
Oh yeah, I'm in Icheon now in what could be considered a seedy motel by our standards. Bedroom and bathroom. internet and computer, VCR, and TV with porn channels and one awesome light switch. Okay, not one but one that does something cool. We got light for bathroom, light for foyer, light of the room, and ..... ..... ..... drum roll please ...... ...... ...... a light above the bed ..... ..... ..... that is red, .... ..... ..... for some bow chicha bow wowt ;) Okay, and get this I have like 200 pocket money for the next few days so this is why I didn't go through with it. Now, after I turned on the red light and had it on for like 10mins I hear footsteps coming up the stairs....high heel footsteps.....and in the enterance to this motel was a wall of porn. This may be a signal service. Why I say that, hell it could have been anyone, well I could be certain cause I have the fans going and the AC on (did I mention it was hot) but I think I heard the "someone" check my door (I locked it earlier).
Night falls fast here. it is 9pm my time and 7 am yours....yesterday....yes I am writing to you from the future.
Well, I here til Monday and then I move down to Ansung, get my money, get my bank account, get an apartment.
Oh, don't bring porn with you and if you do don't declare it. Appearently there is a law about not bringing in anything....fear of selling stuff....besides, they got shit tons here.
I'm either going to run a bath or sleep, either way see ya
P.S. Congrads to the Morgans :)

As expected...
Well, my passport and Visa still are not here as I thought would happen. Especially after dealing with immigration. Oh well, maybe a few more days in Omaha but nothing more than that. I have been told by the company that as soon as my stuff gets back from the embassy I'm on like the next flight out of here...finally....people were beginning to doubt that I was really going and all this was ploy for attention....so did I at one point.
So after all of those "coinensidentals" of my Ex, I did speak to her. She called me at the party and we talked for a bit. She said she might make it...but didn't (as is customary for her). Then I heard from her last night and we spoke for even longer, just like the "good old days". And not having spoken to her in about half a year tends accumulate a few life experiences. She had always worried that she might not be able to get pregnant....lets just say lots of failed attempts, well it turns out that she was pregnant around the time we stop speaking to each other....then we spoke again 2 months after that time and she miscarried....around that time. Freaky. Anyway, she is with child again and this one seems to have stuck. And I was amazed at myself, I said congratulations and meant it. I have said plenty of times that that part of my life is over and I think it really is now. Not that it wasn't before but now I have real evidence to myself to prove it as such. I hope I actually see her before I leave but knowing her she'll forget or "just not be able to get time away" aka. her husband doesn't want her to see me.
Either way, my heartache is officially over and I'm bound for adventure of the purest kind. Going to a foreign country, alone, not knowing the language, for a year (at least). And I'm actually amazed that literally no one is standing in my way, kinda like you guys are encouraging me to leave....like you want me out of the way....hey. Seriously though, I was hoping for some sort of drama about me leaving, you know, like the love stuck woman, clawing at my legs, pleading with me not to leave her and the baby (this is getting kinda interesting). And I would be dressed like in one of those black and white films with the light brown trenchcoat and detective hat, standing on the runway with a small two-engine in the background (question: how could a freakin two-engine take them anywhere they wanted to go....I mean it is a two-engine...do you have any idea how many stops you would have to take to refuel not mention flying and landing in foreign airspace. All the rules and regs that go with that sort of flight....anyway), and I would be like Bogart or something and give this great speech or something....or like a teen romance movie. I could be wearing like this letter jacket and she would be wearing like a prom dress (think 50's), and have a pony tail...yeah, I like that....I'll save that one for later....hmm, pony tail. Anyway, something like that, but no, everyone is all like "cya" or "don't come home with a wife" or "I don't want you to go but I want you to go" sort of thing, but with no passion, no fire, no clown suit. I guess I'll just settle with what you guys can give me, but you know, whatever....
BTW, I got so burned at the Ren Faire yesterday. It is kinda funny to look at me now. The burn has gone down a bit (cause I'm a ginger and if there is one thing I know it is how to heal after a sunburn). Also, the crush I have wasn't there. Every year I go to the Ren Faire for three things; to see the Jolly Rogers and buy there new CD, the food and raspberry lemonade, and the see the girl I have had a crush on since I first started going to the Ren Faire (like 10+ years ago). This one of those crushes where I have never spoken to her, I have never heard her speak, and never want to do either for fear of ruining my one true love sort of thing. But Evad Drol thought that he would help a little and went to last year's Ren Faire, and after a little description of her knew exactly who I was talking about, Got a picture of her for me. Well, she wasn't there this year, neither was the lead singer of the Jolly Rogers and no new CD, and the food was okay and the raspberry lemonade wasn't the same....oh well, it is the freakin Ren Faire.

Korean Bound?
An update on Korea. Well, I was suppose to leave on the 12th after I got my work visa while I was in Chicago. Well, when I was in Chicago the papers still weren't processed. So the reason I'm still here is because I don't have my work visa and the company doesn't want to fly me over until I have it, which is good. That way I know it isn't a scam. So, all I can do is wait, it is very frustrating since I can do absolutly nothing about the situation. I did check with the company and they say the school will not fine me for the missing days, due to the fact that I was suppose to start this Thursday and I won't be there by then. My contract starts when I start working so there is no fault of my own and I'm not breaking contract....which is really good since breaking contract is REALLY bad.
I still haven't heard back yet about the papers. But at least I know that I won't be docked pay or have to make up days since I am missing a few.
Plus side, I may get to the Ren Fair this year. I was kinda down that I wouldn't be able to go since I go every year. Also, if my luck is still bad I may get another Sunday game but that is a long shot.
I am uncertain whether to take my Munchkin game with me. I would be cool to corrupt another country and all but I don't know if I want to teach this and English and learn Korean and learn how to teach....

It is a bird, it is a plane, No, it is the biggest update ever
Okay, small update while I'm still thinking about it.
First, the last update, well, things didn't stop there for that being a weird "Ex" day. I got to work and Aussie asked me to go get lunch at a sub shop. I had no idea where a close one would be so he gave me directions to the closest one. When I get there I noticed the town I was in was Underwood, Iowa....yeah, she lives in this town....hmm. So I told him and many others about my kinda odd day and what happens at one of my going away parties that evening (thinking it had all been over with for the day), I pass out the book I got to learn Korean with I just so happen to pick up a book and look at the authors name....a random book mind you and a random glance at the name....I have not looked at the other authors nor do I cause I don't really pay attention to that sort of thing but the authors name is....Joan V. Underwood....yeah....now I hear that she "plans" to make an appearance at my last going away party....she never really is good with plans though....so we'll see.
Okay, I will update this particular post when I get home....really....;)
Okay, AND NOW, FOR THE GREATEST, or at least biggest, UPDATE I HAVE EVER DONE.....DRUMROLL PLEASE.....
.....
.....
So last friday, I was driving to work and at 30th and Cumming, this pregnant lady was stopping traffic asking for a ride. At first I thought she was trying to cross the street until she approached my car. She said that no one was stopping and she lived a few blocks away and injured her feet a while back. She thought she could tough it out but she broke down and was trying to depend on the kindness of strangers. So I gave her a lift, I figured if I was going to be late to work it might as well be for a pregnant lady in duress. So I drove around the block (literally) and dropped her off....she literally lived on 32nd and Cumming. She had twisted her angles when she was walking and trying to avoid broken glass. BTW, your story teller is not an easy con, from the moment she began to approach my car I suspected she was coning me but a small ride wasn't going to hurt me. When I drop her off she then tells me her sob story, at this point all I hear is a con but I give her the benefit of the doubt, she tells me she doesn't have enough money (6 bucks shy) for a cab to visit her son in the hospital. Now as she is bawling in my car a few thought race through my head.
1. She must have been trying to score a ride for a while now and I, being the good simaritan, was the ONLY one who did give her a ride.
2. Were this not a con and real what kind of ass would I be to give her a ride and not give her 6 bucks, I mean 6 bucks come on, what kinda con asks for 6 bucks.
3. I am trying to go to Korea and save a little money before I go, I was on my way to work to pick up my pay check and feeling pretty happy about it til this cause I knew that I had very little if any money in my bank account (I had figured that I had about 14 bucks in my account earlier and wanted to be very frugal in my spending).
4. I also knew that if I were to give this woman some money I would have to take some out of my account cause I had no cash on me.
5. Were this real, how much bad luck does this woman have that it took her a while to find a ride, twisted both of her angles, asking for a ride at 30th and Cumming (not the best place to find a good simaritan), but to get the ride (which was 2 blocks) and find the only good simaritan with no money to speak of to offer even if he wanted to.
So, after a few minutes I asked where the nearest ATM was. I figured that no matter if this was a con or not, she needs the 6 bucks more than I do at that moment in time. Whe get to the gas station and I go to the ATM, I take my keys out and head inside (btw at this point I would like to say how proud I feel that I never leave anything in my car for anyone to steal, I felt confident that if she were to steal anything it would be the car and it is insured) I get to the ATM and the damn thing won't read my card. I swipe slow, I swipe fast, I swipe in between. I do it like 20 times and nuthin. Number 5 from above come swimming back over me. I decide to do it one more time....it reads it. I punch in 20 bucks, praying that that much is still in my account. I get a slip of paper telling me insufficient funds....out of desperation I try to get 10 bucks out cause it is one of those machines where you punch in the amount but nowhere does it say what dollar increment. I get 10 bucks.
At this moment I ask myself should I break the 10 or just give her the whole thing. I decide to give the whole thing to add to my good simaritaness. She asks if there were any problems when I get back to the car and I tell her the whole story. Should looks at me blankly and asks how much is in my account now. I look at my recipe and sure enough, 4 bucks were left. I laugh to myself for figuring right earlier. She takes the 10 and goes inside for a hot dog and drink cause she had been walking a lot and worked up a hunger. Then I take her home. Throughout this whole ordeal she tells me of her son and gives me numbers and addresses doctors and room numbers and her work place and time she will work so that she can pay me back and everything I would need to collaborate her story. We even talk a little about the drink I had (which was a juiced veggie drink, she had never heard nor seen of anything like it) and enjoy my compilation CD....she's a metal fan....Anyway, she kisses me and blesses me, thanks me and goes on her way, which in all honesty was what good simaritans work for, the kiss was bit of a shock though. Well, were it a con, she is one of the best. Not only was here con simple and straight forward but the one being conned leaves feeling good about themselves. How a con should be. Never let on it was a con so that one day you can con again and you may run into the same target. Anyway, that was friday....
....
....
Oh, I also want to mention that I feel a little redeemed. A year ago, a guy approached my car asking for a ride. He had been walking and was asking for a ride for a while. He had a bar in his leg for the war and looked a little scraggly. We live next to a biker bar so I figured he could have come from there. Well, I said no and when to work mostly cause I felt it was a con and this guy could have taken me. That is the trick of con btw always make the one being conned feel like they are in control and that everything is there idea. Or, simple con artists, just create an opportunity the attack....course the this more being robbed but if the victim falls for it initially, it is there fault for putting themselves in the situation.
....
....
you may be asking how I know so much about con artistry....well, just leave it as to one of those things I happen to know and be done with it.
....
....
Saturday, I switched shifts, with a guy at work friday night, so that I could 1. work with Aussie and 2. actually attend a party Becky was throwing for me. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to show up til after 1am. So, after work I ran a few errands then went to dinner with my mom at the Brazen Head, I love this place, they make the best snakebite. Came home, promised to update my blog, passed out, then Aussie showed up them one by one they started to show up. It was a good party. Nothing out of the ordinary. Accept for the comment that is in the beginning of the post. And the rest of the week so far has gone on as normal.
Korea Update,
Well, I don't have a flight plan yet cause I still have secured my work visa. The immigration office in Korea is still processing my papers and until I get my visa it no travel. So, I may be hear for a few more days than planned but that is completely uncertain. The down side is I'm going to Chicago today to pick up my work visa at the Korean embassy but if it isn't ready when I'm there....it will have to be mailed to me cause I can't stay in Chicago past Friday evening. My ride has to work at 4 on saturday and Chicago is an 8hr trip. So latest we can leave is 7am saturday, but that is not accounting for anything other than time. Worst case, I fly out and pick up my work visa in Korea, I think.
So I'm not packed yet, I know what I am packing though. I need to make a list of inventory that way if I want something I just call up Becky and she mails it to me. I got a few Korean to English, English to Korean books so that I can brush up on it. Even an audio CD.
Also, I skipped my last day of work so that I could do some more arranging and packing....and write this.
And, my farewell party is this Saturday, and final game night on Sunday. Hopefully a big turn out for both.
And after I have reached Korea I can officially say I am a world traveler. Here is a list of the places I have been to:
First the states:
Nebraska
Iowa
Florida
New York
Michigan
Arizona
New Mexico
Wyoming
Kentucky
Mississippi
Missouri
Kansas
The Great Lakes
South Dakota
Georgia
Arkansas
and Alabama
Most of these were cause I was passing through on family vacations.
I am also a bit of globe trotter.
Canada
Italy
And pretty soon I can Illinois and South Korea and where ever my connecting flights are at.
And finally, I chopped my hair. It is a little different that what I normally get but I think I like it. It is a little crew cuttish for my taste but good overall. Also, the thing I don't like to much about it. I have never liked my profile. I hate it even....to much double chin. And the hair cut shows it off even more. And on the topic of weight. You know when walk around every day and you have this image of yourself in your head then you look in the mirror and realize "Oh, that is what I look like" well I encounter that all the time. I feel a lot smaller than I am. Thinner, more muscular, but I'm not. I'm like a red-headed Joe....especially with this hair cut....it is Joe's haircut....oh, well. It will grow out.
"Edit" and one more thing, why I missed the wedding. I had no pants....yeah. I was house sitting and I forgot how long the washer and dryer take at this house. The dryer was on the first load of 2 and my pants were the second load and it was already 11:30ish, the wedding was and noon. I even tried on some of the man of the house's (Kat ;P ) pants but to no avail. So the laundry was done at about 2ish and becky calls me to find out if I'm coming well I was currently on the phone with my mother who wanted to see her sick sister and needed the car.....I didn't tell her about the wedding cause I knew she was distress already with the sick sister, poor cousins, my younger brother and me going to Korea.....why add to it.....so I let her have the car and I missed the wedding.....I did see pics and Jennie look gorgeous. I didn't see any of the rest of the wedding guests until at Mic's but I did get see Becky's fabulous hair.
And I'm entering a contest that deals with posting web links on Blogs. So here is my offical post.
What I want to win. Pendant: Grey_Mother_of_Pearl Cards: Nature_Series and a Snake_Chain to go with them

So the laundry was done at about 2ish and becky calls me to find out if I'm coming well I was currently on the phone with my mother who wanted to see her sick sister and needed the car.....I didn't tell her about the wedding cause I knew she was distress already with the sick sister, poor cousins, my younger brother and me going to Korea.....why add to it.....so I let her have the car and I missed the wedding.....I did see pics and Jennie look gorgeous. I didn't see any of the rest of the wedding guests until at Mic's but I did get see Becky's fabulous hair.
And I'm entering a contest that deals with posting web links on Blogs. So here is my offical post.

I'm awake
So I had a dream about my ex last night. I beginning to be bombarded with her name almost everywhere I go. Just a common name I guess. It wasn't a really bad dream or good one. She met me at our usual place and we talked abou tmy going to Korea. She was like a member of my family, in that she was excited but very concerned I would be okay....It felt like the good old days with her. At that moment I was kinda half asleep, but I wasn't guilding my dream, which I can do. I realized what time it was, or rather what time it could have been and my system went into alert status to get up and out the door so I could get to work. I look at the clock....40 mins til I leave for work....My head is swimming, my heart is racing, and the last frelling image in my head is her....I'm not sure how I feel about that....
Anyway, more later. A few things have happened to the T as of late and I'll tell you when I get home from work....15 mins til I leave now....cya.
