Fail

Saturday I went to see The Model at the Transformars Event in the Base Shop disguised as a club and I actually had a lot of fun but that's not the fail. The fail was how a guy... well, I don't think he was trying to hit on me, but I actually still have no idea what he wanted from me.

So this guy comes up to me and asks me if I like games. I tell him no, even though I LOVE GAMES. He said that he was going to ask me 5 questions and that I need to answer wrongly. At first, I didn't hear the last part so I answered correctly to the first question 'What cigarettes are you smoking?'. He then emphasized that I need to answer wrongly. I had finally heard & understood what he meant, since he was pretty drunk, and quickly changed my answer. The second question was 'What's your name?'. I answered Ioana and he started laughing and telling me that he knows that's not my name. Hah, genious, wasn't he? He then asked me the 3rd and the 4th questions, same shit, and the last one was 'How many questions have I asked you?'. And I answered 4.

At that moment he told me 'You lost, haha. I asked you 5 questions.' and he left.

What's up with that?! People don't kno' how to play anymo'. Try some DOTA or something serious with rules'n'shit cause boy oh boy, if games and gamers lose their logic...

If he had come straight up to me and said 'i am chuffed to bits by your ba donka donk' it would have been a lot more likely for me to enjoy the conversation. At least I would have had the certainty he knew who Hugh Laurie was :P

Why does this happen to me?

I am still not able of talking freely in front of people. Don't get me wrong i like socializing and I can befriend someone easily but only if I'm surrounded by 5-6 persons who can hear me or less - which means clubbing isn't a problem :P

The thing that most people who don't have such a problem don't understand is that the reactions I get before a presentation or whatever is completely involuntary.

For instance, even in my Chinese classes, where I already know all the people for at leat 5 months and I already took a 9 in my exam - so I usually know the correct answers - I still get those reactions. They consist of shivering, extremely fast heart beating & mouth dryness. Thus, when I start talking, I usually stagger.

Therefor, I usually don't answer unless I'm asked to. When I'm asked, even though I hate the state I get into, I feel obliged to answer so that people won't think I'm stupid :P. However, when I do feel the need of pointing something out and I summarize a bit in my head the ideas I'm going to talk on, just knowing that I am going to be heard and listened to by 30 persons or so I get in that state and I usually end up by... not saying anything at all.

我知道,这个不好。

Considering all these, I might've chosen the most inappropiate of languages: a tonal one. Given that I cannot talk properly and fluently in front of people in Romanian or English, how could I possibly manage to pull that off with Chinese, where 'ping' means like 15 different stuff, all depending on how you pronounce it?! Besides all those things that change fiziologically, I must also concentrate on tones. On the other hand, Chinese might help me overcome this in time. Since I like it a lot, I surely hope it will be the second case.

And yes, alcohol does help but I can't just start drinking on a daily basis now, can I? :P Along with that may come other problems.

Any advice from someone who had this fear and overcame it already? I don't need any advice from people who are born to speak in public, that's my mother and my brother's role :P!

By the way, yesterday was my mom's bday so HaPPy bDAY MoM!

How do you like me now?

I’m pretty sure some of you won’t agree of this post, but you’re free to share your opinions.

Before I got my period, someone told me 2 things I wasn’t allowed to do while menstruating. First one was 'don’t get wet' and the second one 'you aren’t allowed to go into a church'. As I was quite small, I thought the first one was related to something biologically, like you’re going to get stuff if you get into water – not understanding that the person was talking about swimming pools. However, I was sure women showered during that period :)).

But what intrigued me and actually intrigues me now even more is the second advice. Why wouldn’t I be allowed to go into a church? Not that I’m that religious, I’m on Darwin’s side on this one, but still why aren’t you allowed? A person told me that it’s a sin. WHY?! Apparently you’re not ‘clean’ if you’re menstruating. But didn’t, so they say, God make us all? Why would he not agree with us, women, if he made us? It doesn’t make any sense, Darwin’s more logical than that.

Look:

Levitic: „De va avea femeia curgere de sânge, care curge din trupul său, trebuie să stea şapte zile pentru curăţirea sa… Dacă femeii îi va curge sânge mai multe zile şi nu în timpul regulii ei, sau dacă ea are curgere mai mult decât timpul regulii ei obişnuite, atunci în tot timpul curgerii necurăţiei ei va fi necurată, ca şi în timpul regulii ei.”
RIGHT!

Sf. Atanasie cel Mare este mai îngăduitor şi consideră scurgerile cele fireşti ca neavând nici un fel de păcat şi nici un fel de necurăţie, iar concepţiile că aceste scurgeri ar fi păcătoase şi depărtarea de biserică pe seama lor, le pune pe seama diavolului.
Well that’s more like it.

There are more problems with religious stuff, like why do babies get born with all sorts of diseases? It’s not as if they’re sinful at 2 months old. But I’m done talking about this. It bores me a bit. Anyhow, I haven’t been into a church since I fainted in one, like 6 or 7 years ago.

(c) The religious quotes were taken from here.

Look what I’ve found – well, not me… but I am the one sharing it with you so anyways:







You should definitely hear more from these guys - The Heavy - I’m sure you're going to agree. David Letterman himself asked for a bis.

These 2 Happy Fish Productions make me laugh so hard each time I see them, so you should really check them out:

Avatarul dupa Oscar - Avatar after the Oscar Awards

Turbo cana 500 - Turbo cup 500


Until I find Laura Marling - Is a Hope, I'll let you enjoy the following song:



Did I mention how much I hate this weather?! I haven't gotten sick all winter and now, in March, I'm feeling awful. I have no idea how snowdrops got out. I detest it. I really do, in its true meaning. I surely hope it won't be snowy until May, as a friend told me...

PS: For those of you who searched ‘how can I see the Red Cliff movie for free’ [‘cum pot sa vad filmul Red Cliff gratis’] just try torrents. Great choice btw!

PPS: For those of you who searched 'Chinese models paintings' [‘modele chinezesti picturi’] sorry you had to find my amateurish paintings :P.

And as a closing quote: 'wanting to know an author because you like his work is like wanting to know a duck because you like pate.' or, as my brother put it 'wanting to fuck an author because you like his work is like wanting to fuck a duck because you like pate'.

Cheers.
