Welcome Home

This weekend was quite enjoyable.
It was titillating being the girl representative at basketball despite my mediocre skills.
A brought his twin M and his friend from Taiwan C for a weekend in Busan, and we met up on Saturday night at KSU for a fun night out.

Drinks and snacks at 쌩동 led to 치맥 at Chir Chir Chicken. We were joined by Sammy, Lauren, Em, Rose, and Nic beforewe went to chill at a cheap plastic table and chairs outside the CU at the busiest intersection of KSU. The group split into Team TP and Team Noraebang, and we went to a super-ghetto-2000\-apiece karaoke place that showed softcore porn videos for every song selection.

Good times, good vibes.

Sunday night I had dinner with my friends again for their last night in Busan. We stayed near their hostel in PNU, and went to the ironically named Gentle Pig, for a barbeque dinner of pork belly, neck meat, and pig skin. The skin was gross -  it was gelatinous, bristly, and popped like a motherpucker, jumping around the skillet like some morbid creature out for revenge.

We had kimchi and pumpkin pajeon, and strawberry and mango makgeolli, along with a few bottles of apple mango soju for round 2, and reminisced about our lives back in Vancouver. I'm glad we have rendezvous in Taipei and Vancouver to look forward to. I hate goodbyes that are resolutely permanent.

And as A walked me back to the station, I was starting to regret talking so easily with him, and telling him so much about 74. Especially when he added 74 on Facebook and regularly stalks him. But when I had no T-money card or change to get home, and he shook his head in disbelief, and called me a poor-ass-b**** as he got my ticket, I knew we were close enough to talk about everything.

I was in a good mood on the way back home, mostly because the queen of Persia was coming back.

Last night, Alex and I went to meet her at the airport, and even after a day of travelling, drinking too much wine and spilling it all over her shirt, and wearing no makeup, that girl still manages to look amazing stepping off the plane. Ridiculously beautiful and confident is what you are, Hods.

Today is Tuesday, May.17th, 2016. I want to remember the date, because we're gonna have a good time tonight.
