Weeds

I have to admit. I've become a secondary weed smoker. Hanging around friends who semi-substitute leisure for a puff of marajuana, I have somewhat become a smoke sniffer though it's not effective, let alone my last trial with weed was a disaster since it did me NOTHING. Being around them also does not really justify the fact that I AM funny since they will laugh at anything. "Hey look at this" and you get a big LMAO in your face. Nah, to be honest, this group of friends is different. Despite the amount of weed they went through, they seem pretty normal. If weed effect was supposed to make anyone laugh, I'd hate to see their natural self cos even with weed, they don't really crack up much... but still, they laugh at my jokes.. probably cos it's lame.

So, I have finally been able to flash my 'flaming hein'ness as opposed to conservative granny boy that I always have been. I don't really feel the need to or have the patience to try to be someone at the moment, given all these circumstances around me.

We had a party at Steve's last night. His wife was there. His mom was there who took away his kid in the middle of the party. KP was there with his wife and his bandmates. I finally got to meet MKN, who's been a mutual friend of me and my other friends. She's always been a second degree friend of mine via A LOT of my other friends and it's weird cos everyone who knows me knows her in a way. It's like a 'friendship meant to be'. I talked to her online and got friendly and I finally met her last night. She seems pretty kickass and laid back. I saw her hubby too and her hubby's group of friends. One of them looks pretty hot actually but his girlfriend was there so the option is off BUT his handshake was weird. They say there is a meaning to types of handshakes. If I was to analyze that deeply into one, his handshake was the longest and the most 'violated' sort. We shook hands and his other 'free' hand covered my hand that's been shaken and rubbed on it. I know at times asian boys do impose a bit of homosexual act but given this huge ass comfort zone on display, I find it hard to believe that he's a super duper 'pussy muncher'. A bit of an ass wouldn't hurt they say...

Gossips.. is that the only element that can bring people together? I don't really think so but then again that's something everyone wants to know when people get together. My 'girl'friends do have this aching longing for a dip of their fingers in this juicy element but I guess they do it in class, which I like. Now, when they're around people they trust, it's almost a huge ass info spillage. Especially about celebrities. I got two 'girl'friends I've come to trust. Zgirl and Guru. Zgirl cos her real name starts with 'z' and guru cos she capitalizes the S in socialite. So, when you put me, guru and zgirl in a room, you get the most fucked up news about celebrities, given they are both not that far away with the celeb world. The funnier thing is the fact that it's all real and not magazine materials. At first, I felt a bit suspicious to how they were so openly descriptive about such things with me, being the new comer. Yesterday, I learnt that I was actually 'special' cos once they were exposed to other people, they talk about umm... ANIMALS. Our conversation turned from 'who's fucking whose mother' to 'how do snakes lay eggs'. It's funny how we transform from a NW magazine to a Discovery channel within one split second while we all change to a different room.. to meet more guests.

It was a good party. I've come to like the fact that I DO have friends here in Burma. Dear God of Socializing, I am forever grateful for your effort to boost that friendly mojo in me once again. :D
