See I knew if I said that the Chinese goverment hadn't found me, that sooner or later they would! And that is where I have been, locked out by the Great Firewall of China. See! Told you so.
Anyways I'm back in Sunny Edinburgh and I'm soooo happy to be back. China was really doing my nut in and it was time to go.
So at the moment I have no job, but I'm on the process of looking for one. It's going well....slow. Maybe not slow, but I'm getting a little tired of sending applications and resumes out, and hearing nothing, yes nothing, so far. I'm hoping the old adadge of "when it rain, it pours" will happen to me about some interviews jobs. I am employable, I know I am! I've never not had a job, it's just finding the correct timing for everything. That is pretty much all I've been up to since I got back more or less.
I decided to go back to choir last night and it was a good thing I did as that was the last night until the autumn. I ran into my favourite drinking partner who we all lovingly refer to as "Johnstone" when he is drinking as he sort of gets a new personality. Nothing bad or anything like that, just someone different. He's one of my best mates in the choir, as he's been looking after all my luggage for the last 2 yrs. So one of the other members (again a good friend) twisted Johnstone's rubber arm for a half pint at "The Real Ale" beer festival, he in turn twisted my rubber arm. So x amount of pints later, Johnstone and I were well on our way into our regular routine of me giving directions/keeping an eye on him, and him giving me money to buy drinks!
So since the festival is still going on tonight, I might be getting a phone call to go out an play again. This time me watching/giving directions to Johnstone and buying him drinks. We take turns at the buying part. I didn't have that much to drink yesterday, but I was 'jolly' then again I hadn't really had anything to drink in 2 years so I realised I need to get my drinking back up to where it was when I left.
Nothing exciting planned for the weekend, other than searching the internet for some more jobs. Like I said...nothing exciting for the weekend.
Where you get to view life as me! My trials, life, and tribulations!
A peek into my soul
- Shera
- I would say I'm pretty nomadic, I like to roam around living here and there. Every so often I get the feeling that I have to travel so up I get! I have the usual: 2 parents, and a younger sister. I like to bake, knit, and generally try to enjoy myself where ever I am.
Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak naught
Being in China you get a lot of things said that are funny here are a few (some might be with stories, more than likely not!). Not all of these are from China, sometimes I just come across something that makes me laugh.
Girls like boys that are ripe: Excellent, boys are like fruit! Obviously I missed this part of education, no wonder I'm single! I should be going around squeezing guys I like to make sure they are "ripe" wouldn't want to get an unripe one which I think is my usual problem. Then again I have a problem with overly ripe ones as well. Must remedy this!
Do gay people have sex? Oh dear! Then again with no sex education and sex itself being "mysterious" and "secret" I'm not surprised students aged 20 don't know this.
Safety paper: amuses me to no end! I didn't realize sanitary napkins kept you safe. Safe from what? Fire? Drought? Self combustion? They come in "summer" and "winter" types. Winter ones keep you warm, why you'd want that I'm not sure!
Female holiday: I'm getting my wisdom tooth taken out on Monday, one of the things I was asked was this. At first I was a little confused, then I realized my translator student meant "period." I doubt very much Western women would call it a "holiday" more like the other weeks are a holiday!
Lust limb: I briefly caught a bit of a movie, some danish cartoon thingie call beowulf, and this is what a character said. Cracked me up no end. What a brilliant little sentence for describing a penis!
Tuning Fork: Was watching CSI the other week and Greg said to the new girl (can't remember but she's played by Lauren Lee Smith) and he said "why would you need to analyze her tuning forks" in reference to the woman's vibrators. I love Greg to bits especially when he comes up with things like that. Excellent!
