tik tok

we had some extra time in one of my classes today, so i was like, "well, kids, what do you wanna listen to?" a bunch of people started yelling requests, but from the back i hear my favorite lady boy go, "tik tok!"

"oohh, ke$ha*? i have that." i searched through the cd and found the song. we were all groovin' (and by "we" i mean "me," to the cheers and shouts of the students. literally, i danced in front of class. i do this often) but the lady boy--bankk--was busy doing something at his desk. i thought it was kind of weird that he, who had specifically requested this song, would now be pretty much ignoring it, but i've seen weirder things outta these kids.

next thing i know, bankk looks up from his desk looking more like a diva than a high school boy. his face fully powdered, his stylish hair pulled back in a pin, he stood up on his desk and danced for us--rolling his hips, shaking his fingers and all. and he had NO SHAME whatsoever. he looked hot and he fucking KNEW it.

thailand, man.

also, AMBER AND MARY REGAN LAND IN BANGKOK IN THREE HOURS. chiang mai this weekend. thailands the next. i love amber. i love mary. i love vacations. this is awesome. i love july.

*when we first got her music back in november or whatever, maddy and i pronounced her name "key-shaa." when sarah visited in march, she was like "wtf are you saying? it's keh-sha." i felt dumb.

sado-masochism

it's a laid back week in my classes. we're just singing a song. yesterday was "bad romance." kanchana's my co-teacher for some of my classes, and in the morning she took a sheet of lyrics to try to fill in herself. i sort of figured after class, she forgot about the whole lesson and went about her day.

but around 4 pm yesterday, she goes, "nickiiii. i don't understand. can you help me?" she's holding the lyrics. she wants to know what the song's about, so i tell her: lady gaga has said she wrote it about falling in love with a friend, and that can be a complicated (bad) romance.

this was not enough for kanchana--she wanted to go through the song line-by-line. the few other thai teachers left in the office started to perk their ears up because whoa american culture time. one line in the song goes, "i want your leather-studded kiss in the scene."

"what does this mean?" kanchana asked.
"umm...well, sex. it means she wants sex, kanchana."
i proceeded to explain that leather plus sex usually meant whips and bondage and such, and kanchana goes, "ohh, sadism?" yep, that'd be it.

by this point everyone left in the office is involved, maddy (who had whipped out a camera by this point) and i are busting up, and i can't quit blushing. then we come to the line "i want your vertical stick" and i was just like HOLY CRAP MAN THIS IS THE MOST HILARIOUS CONVERSATION I'VE EVER HAD.

wahhhhhhhhhhhh

i don't wanna grow up. wahhhhhh.

in related non-adult news, ECLIPSE WAS AWESOME. my favorite of the three, i think. bella significantly toned down her whiny-ness and jacob looked hotter than ever. maddy and i saw it on imax which made the fight scene at the end awesome. we saw the 11 am showing at siam paragon in bangkok and we were two of only 50 or 60. the theater was nowhere near sold out. weird. it was funny seeing the movie with thai people because they were reading subtitles (movie was in english) so they laughed like a second behind us at all the funny parts, if they laughed at all. humor is not international.
