I'm giving the starvation diet a miss coz my hands started trembling and I had a headache.
Last night I went to the expressive dancy thing with Claire. Oh shit I just heaved coz the girl next to me has amazing bo. That's strange for Taiwan where noone leaves the house in less than perfect shape. So anyway Claire and the other girl performed their prepared dances to their chosen songs and I'm like wow this is what I used to do in the loungeroom when noone was home.
Then they're like 'So now it's your turn' and I'm freaking out thinking Um I don't think so but then they suddenly got that disappointed/you're not worthy look on their faces so I decided hey you only live once... and to get up there and be weird for a few minutes in front of people will be better than being a pussy and not being invited back. So yeah I got up there and pretended there was noone else in the room and did all this weird shit to a cover of Nothing Compares. Then I sat down again and they had a serious discussion about my peformance, LOL (laugh out loud). Hahahaha. If they don't want me back I'm going to be peeved!
Tomorrow we have to talk about who we consider are hen qiang de nu ren, like, powerful women and why. I might mention the matriarchal society at Lugu Lake in SW China. At night the men come and knock on the door of a woman they want to sleep with and it's up to the woman whether she wants to let him in or not. Then he goes home and forgets about it and no child knows who their mother actually slept with i.e. there are no fathers. Go girls! Or maybe Madonna or a woman from a Bond movie. Oh that reminds me Eric Bana (Poiter!) is going to be the next Bond. I think this is wrong.
I taught Ken yesterday (the guy with the cold). He's not bad. But let me tell you, never ever be stupid enough to leave a banana lying at the bottom of your bag and then forget it's there unless you want a couple of nice juicy banana-licious once-new texbooks that you bought on behalf of your student.
