on not abandoning friends by talking endlessly about your fabulous world-city of a new home

sophia loren knows whats up--a vintage side eye

I just caught up with G over nangmyun in Dallas, and we talked much smack about the acquaintances we dislike in our small circle of Asians at A&M.  One thing we decided that we don't like about them is that some are super-arrogant, like bragging about going to UT-Southwestern for med school EXCEPT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ACCEPTED YET.  Or they think others give a frick about what they look like, so they probably stare at themselves for hours in their mirrors and decide that getting bigger eyelids will cover up their inner ugly.  Or talking endlessly about this awesome, cool new city to which they will be moving and how fabulous it will be at their new job/school.

And I was nodding and pshawing, going, "Yah guurrrl, they suck!!  They think they shit don't stank!" blah blah blah, except midway during the conversation (a la JD in Scrubs during his inner-monologue narratives), I was like, IS THIS ME?!  *cue dramatic, curious guitar chord*

I'm sure even the friends who actually like me for me have moments when they're like, "Dude, we get it--you are moving to San Francisco," because this fact has been on my mind ever since I got an acceptance letter.  Even after I got accepted to another school in Chicago, I think I had my heart set on SF because it's California!  Chicago's like super cold, and after 10+ years of living in the south, I am not ready for Chicago-grade coldness.

But I'd like to believe that I'm not as sickening as those people that G and I talked about this week.  Let me know if you believe otherwise.  For real.  Just be like, Bitch you ain't all that--not like you got a job or somethin, SHIT!
