really kick ass day at work. today rocked.

OMG TODAY WAS AWESOME!

i really enjoyed working today. and i mean i love working at sutao most of the time (if youre an actual reader of my blog, you see how much i love working there) but today was just ace. i helped make a bunch of appetizers, i taste tested stuff, the chef is learning some english, the woman in back is learning some english, everyone is just awesome. it was the american valentines day, so it was nice. even though im like.... single... oh well... id rather be single than put up with who i used to be with. i just need to relax, and the perfect guy will come into my life.

people of sutao:

this guy ed and his lady: on some message board he was always a bully cause i brought too much personal stuff to it (totally understandable why he bashed on me) so were kinda chill now.

super friendly group of six: the just came from the art museum, theyre also bloggers, hey guys!!! they were really awesome guys.

uhhhhhh i forget everyone, cause i mean the super friendly group of six was just too awesome.

oh god. oooohhh god. why god.

so chinese new year was intense. it was literally like 200 people in my happy restaurant in which usually only has 67 chairs(i think... i havent legit counted). all speaking chinese. and where my happy corner is at sutao, the table right near it had 3 people drinking, and 3 bottles of badass hard core chinese booze. like i thiiink they were sharing with other people, but it was soooo much booze! and it was like that one shot will kill you stuff. i was tipsy smelling it. but we brought out the most adorable little shot glasses for them. they were like really tiny champagne glasses, and i wanted one soooo badly. i was like holding my breath by the end of the night when i was walking past the booze table, it was crazy.

people of sutao:

drunk guys: nuff said

karen: shes awesome. i see her alot. shes like my age ish, and shes probably one of the prettiest people ive ever seen from the asian decent.

cool clothed girl: she had cool clothes

adorable little kids in cute chinese clothes: nuff said

my secret translator: i was standing next to her during someone's toast, and she translated for me, totally nice woman

mom and kids: her boy had autism of some sort, she looked really sad...

scary pervs: nuff said

every one else: soooo many people.....

wow intense day.

so i woke up to go to my friend jen kasaabs house to work on my physics project. we ended up cooking all day and listening to awesome music and watching me have two left feet with dancing. it was actually alot of fun. we did get out project finished. without the two other members of our group cough cough. so i had my dad come get us from jens (5 minutes away but theres alot of snow...) and dropped her at her work while i got ready for mine. tori texted me earlier and asked if i wanted to hang post work, and im usually down, ill get back to that later.

so i go to work and tell susan i can work all day tomorrow (drumline cancelled), and shes like cool sweet. so im a little pumped for the day tomorrow.

people of sutao:

eric and holly: some of my favourite regulars. havent seen sebastian in a while.

Renee' number 2: i like her but not her friends. she plays drums too.

nother lady ive seen before, forget her name: shes a familiar lookin creature.

russ: just asked his name today, hes a programmer, he makes sure people sty on task in businesses with some program. hes allowed upstairs, hes in that group.

hippies: super cute hippies, but stinky no joke.

kids ive seen before and parents: i feel like they dont like me.

snowboarders: fuckin rich kids.

family and a kid with a bike shirt: the ate in silence. it was weird.

holly#2: susan's friend studying disease/virus prevention/cures. made me feel inferior not on purpose. shes a nice lady

new chef: replacing the su chef. "back problems" i think lee just got mad at him for making fun of me all the time. new chef has very thick eyebrows

me and lee had an arm wrestling match today. i totally lost. both hands. cause hes a leftie, so i put all of my weight and used both hands for my left side and i still lost. i need to get in shape... its bad. goingto start biking again soon. im nervous about getting another stress fracture if i start running too suddenly. he had me try a really spicy candy sort of thing. and i had a really good vegan rice crispie today. it was something chinese. but anyway, he told me to do iron crosses with water jugs when im not busy(jesus without the cross holding water) and im like yeeeeah, no. well, maybe. if im not busy sure. me and susan were talking about cooking, so i gave her a vegan ravioli recipe. mmmmmm. soooo good. i made it the other day. yum. maybe one day shell give me the god pie recipe(its the best pie in the world. susan was talking about how she used to be really bad at baking. i love susan. she has vampire teeth. like her k9's are really pointy, its mad cool. (i have a story for anyone who asks about a previous hook up who thought he was a werewolf and all of this other stuff with it.) im happy with my teeth. theyre beautiful. i think theyve established that my job is to vacuum and lee saran wraps all of the food. because i take much to much time wrapping everything up. i hope i remember how to set everything up tomorrow...

ok so after work i went to tori's ad saw my besties. arbye and tori are my girls for life. im really pissed at boles right now. and his brain washers. i dont even want to get into all of the fucking drama. all i know is my dad loves tori, and wants to kill chris right not for what happened. nobody messes with people my dad and i love.

tomorrow is going to be insane! gung hay fat choy!

last saturday of the month

ok so every last saturday of the month, theres a big meeting seminar type thing upstairs in sutao, then for lunch and dinner they all come down and eat. so i was working all day on saturday. literally from 11 till about 11. it was the most intense 11 hours ever. no joke. its like 70 people coming into my happy sanctuary and most of them dont speak much english. i felt like a loser for being the american.

people that were interesting:

some girl. she comes in all the time, shes not the prettiest girl in the world, but she has a beautiful voice. like normally to me chinese isnt the prettiest language but when she says it, it sounds awesome.

the americans. i realized that we divide people in our restaurant. the chinese and the americans. we didnt have a whole lot of americans come in, but at one point, when a group came in, they wanted to sit at a certain table, but terence told them to sit somewhere else, so they walked out. then susan said some chinese to him, and the next americans that walked in, we had them sit where the other people wanted to sit. it was funny. susans got them all whipped.

speaking of.

after the chinese people ate lunch, we had some time to chill. during this time lee and susan got in a HUGE FIGHT. and they were speaking angrily in chinese in a hushed voice, and then all of a sudden susan hit and broke the glass on the table! so the whole restaurant grows silent and they go into what i call the brothel room(aka the party room, but if someone closes the door, i feel like im interrupting something when i go in and get stuff.) so everyone in the restaurant and i just start talking. i was like, yeah i dont know what theyresaying but im a little scared. this led me to meet

unbelievabley fat man and his super friendly wife(maybe wife?) he was very fat. me and lee kept a plate count:11. we gave him his own pitcher of water. his wife and i were talking for a while. shes an english tutor.

lady with her family and kids. they didnt have a bunch of the stuff she wanted, so i asked lee to ask chef to make some new stuff, but he was arguing with susan, so i had to tell her that they were in a fight and i was scared. like she knew that they were fighting before so its ok. so she eventually got her stuff, and shes super nice.

chinese kids. they were like 8 and they were cute

stephen. susan/ terences son. he was annoyed that he had to dress up all day. we talk about wwII sometimes

two chinese nerds. i was talking to them for a while. i love nerds. we were talking about physics. i wish i could remember their names.

all in all it was a really busy day and it was snowing for a while, so i ust headed home after the day. suuuch a long day.

craziest friday of my life.

so ive been really busy so last weekends post will be along with this one, but im gunna write this now, cause to be honest i dont really remember any of the customers from friday night. the day was just too crazy.

there was a pep rally at school on friday, so naturally i didnt want to go. so i asked adam the night before to come get me, and he did(5 minutes late, if he was 5 minutes earlier i wouldnt have bought cosmo volume 248) so we were hanging out for a bit until i found his iron cuffs. he said i could play with them cause he had the key on his keychain. turns out he left the damn keys in philly. so we had to drive all the way to the 202 knife shop in hopes that he would have the key. before this, adam was just cursing himself out in the car. so driving on 202, i was thinking about banging on the windows and screaming help to whoever saw me, thaaaat woulda been awesome. and all the while, im just thinking about how fucking hilarious this situation was. like whats this poor man gunna think when he sees me walk in there with cuffs on?? so i decided to play it off exactly how it seemed. it turned out that the knife shop didnt open for about an hour after we got there. so i was stuck in cuffs for about 3 hours on friday. so when it opens, adam decides to smoke a ciggarette before we go in, in the freezing cold. so we go in, and i meet len. i walk up to the counter and put my hands on the table. hes all like "well what have yoooou guys been doing" and im like "this dumbass left his keys in philly. " so len finds that he doesnt have the keys and a new shipment will be in next week, but we are told to go over to the barber next door who happens to be a retired cop i think. so we go in, and who is it but none other than mr.birkmire, my old drivers ed instructor from the summer. so they get me out and they and adam start talking about cuff brands and i found out that its actually illegal to carry cuff keys. sorta weird right? cuffs are legal to carry, but keys arent? who came up with that one? so after that we go back over to the knife shop and talk to len for a little bit. i bought a spring loaded knife of awesomeness. it has a thing on it so if i get stuck in my car in an accident i can break the windows open, and it has something on it to cut the seatbelt. and its pink. best 39 dollars spent evar. after we went to the knifestore, we went to the mall and ran into tori chris and brian. it was awesome! i love them so much, adam bought me chinese food(cause he feld bad for getting me stuck in cuffs) and we talked about awesomeness. i cant remember much of the convo, all i know is i love my guys. aaaanyway i recently found out that butterfly knives are legal in PA, so im TOOOTALLY buying one the next time head down to the knife shop. woooot. i remember going into work and lee asking about the bruises on my wrist and trying to tell him the story. he thought it was funny but i bet he thought something else haha. it was great. after work i went to tori's to see my fam. it was all my ladies i love and all my boys i be diggin. i shared the chinese food they made me take from work (not complaining) i met two new kids, sean and mike (im pretty sure) one of um had boondock saints tattoos (truth and justice in latin on his left and right pointers) but he had a beard so i was like eeehhh. if he got rid of um i woulda been down. the other guy was like blond and talkin about bad brains so i was like DAAAAYUM GIMMEEE. so i think im gunna see about that guy. like daaaaayum. i was bein a bitch tough cause i just got off work, so hopefully i didnt piss anyone off too much. me tori and arbye always bash on people we dont like, and we were talking about a particular girl who happens to like buttsex. and we were talking about how loose her ass must be and we came up with this hand sign:

and we always end up talking about arbye's ex who has a mustache and we talk about mustache's alot. just cause theyre fun to make fun of. were not really into hair, us three. all of our hair is like shorter than our shoulders. im thinkin of growing mine out though...

sooo in short. got stuck in cuffs. got a knife. saw my besties. went to work. saw my besties again. i love them. she's a little loose.

rather peeved at patty.

ok so i totally passed out after work and didnt get a chance to write this, and i had saturday and sunday too, so im just guna put the people i remember together in a big list after i go on about my day sunday.

so saturday work was super busy. i was really happy though cause some of my best friends came and ate. marina left an 8 dollar tip because i love her! and max and maddie came it, and their relationship still secretly weirds me out a little cause they look like they could be brother and sister. after work i went and saw brian miller for a little and he carried me to my car. it was sort of cool.

sunday me and adam hung out all day. viva la fort =D. i got changed infront of him (like not in an awkward way, just getting into my work clothes, i didnt take my shirt off and its like, not a big deal. id do it in front of anyone) and my mom flipped out, so i went to work and when i got home she took a bunch of pictures off of my walls. i was pissed cause she totes mcgotes got in my grill and i cant get behind that. so go up to her and im like yo bitch what the fuck, and she tried to say that they were dusty. then she started going on about how my art is ugly after i told her that it was bullshit that they were dusty.

so it gets to her calling me a slut for some stuff that happened in the summer that i couldnt control. and i told her that if she doesn't get out of my room i'm probably going to punch her in the face. she said it was her house, so i was like ok, then im getting out of your fucking house. and i left. i told her to go fuck herself and i booked it out of there. i didn't know if she was going to follow me, so i ran to morgan's neighborhood and called some people. my friend dan hayward saved me from the cold and rain. we went to his house, i took a shower and we watched futurama, he was sick so he took me home at like 130 or 2.

i got home and no one was awake. so i was like ok cool this is how i wanted it.

i then remembered i had a fucking physics lab to make up at 645 in the morning the next day, so i left like 29 postits to my dad saying to wake me up.

he did, so i was like sweet. but he was sayin all kinds of stuff in the car, and i was like. your wife called me a fucking slut, and he was like " i thought you were pissed at adam, i personally lost all respect for him when he broke your heart 2 months ago. but youre hanging with him like nothing happened and i dont know how good that is for you" idk it was just a really confusing conversation because i feel like he agrees with her that im a slut, and that hurts. cause hes always the one sticking up for me. me and adam really arent doing anything.

soooo basically im a slut.
