a bucket full of water

this morning, i was walking to school, minding my own business. just like i do every morning. i was just walking along the sidewalk, rocking out to some bigbang on my iPod.

the sidewalk is lined with stores, and i noticed a man coming out of one of the stores ahead of me. he had a bucket in his hand.

a bucket full of water.

for some reason, people clean random parts of the sidewalk near my apartment.

the man looked at me, and i looked back at him. i definitely gave him the "please don't throw that on me" look.

but he totally did.

some man threw an entire bucket of water on me. luckily, i was wearing a skirt, but the entire part of my legs from the knees down was soaking wet. unfortunately, i was wearing sneakers and socks. and my feet got wet. and that pissed me off just a little bit. [and by "just a little bit", i mean "a whole freaking lot".]

i definitely gave him the "oh no you didn't" look. it didn't really help things, but it did make me feel a little bit better about the situation.

my weekend according to me

thursday:

so i feel like my weekend actually started on thursday, because that was the night of the amazingness concert.

basically, front row tickets are the best. and sitting about ten feet away from taeyang is also the best.

we got to the concert venue early. reallyyyy early. so we had a lot of time to wait and be anxious. and be excited. and by "excited" i, of course, mean "pee-in-your-pants-and-squeal-like-a-middle-school-girl excited". but it was well worth the wait. the second taeyang walked onto the stage, i absolutely thought i would melt. he sang two songs--"where u at" and "wedding dress"--and was positively amazing. and also amazingly hott. also, he made eye love to allison and i was kinda sorta a lot jealous.

and then, it was brian mcknight's turn. i have to say, before the concert, i wasn't too excited about seeing him. but man, was he ahh-freaking-mazing. also, his sons sang. the crappy part about that was that we ACTUALLY SAW HIS SONS while we were at dinner. we had the opportunity to talk to them, but wrote them off as chair-setter-uppers. yeah, we're pretty dumb. also, taeyang came back out to sing a duet with brian mcknight. which was bangin'. during this part, i made a "hand heart" and screamed "i love you, dong young-bae" [his real name]. multiple times. in korean and english. at which point he smiled, looked in my direction, and pointed. [i would like to think he was pointing at me and thinking "dang, that girl is attractive. she would be perfect for my friend t.o.p"].

so 1/5 of bigbang is kinda sorta aware-ish of my existence. so my plan is very rapidly-ish falling in to place.

friday:

i caught a bus to 강릉 to visit whit-nizzle for the weekend. we stayed in a love motel. my first love motel experience. it was...not very exciting.

saturday:

we took the train to 고한. it was the last weekend that the ski slopes were open.

the only problem with this is that i have never been skiing or snowboarding before. this is because i am not at all coordinated in any way, shape, or form.

so we decided to go snowboarding. which, in my case, was an EPIC FAIL.

basically, it took me two hours to get maybe 150 feet down a part of the beginner slope. not even close to finishing. the highlights included: me running into a fence, running into a fence again, coming near a fence and grabbing on to it for dear life, and nearly getting my arm ripped off by said fence.

so then i gave up, and attempted a much more extreme sport: snowboard-sledding. that's right, i sat down on the snowboard and proceeded to sled down the slopes. which was SUPERFUN. but incredibly hard to steer. the highlights included: seeing that i was about to run into whitney, screaming in terror, running in to whitney, flipping off of the snowboard-sled, flailing in the snow while watching the snowboard continue without me down the mountain, and chasing the snowboard down the mountain.

good times.

sunday:

i caught the bus back to seoul. about an hour in to the trip, i am fairly certain that someone decided to poop on the bus.

i should add that:
1.) there were no babies or children on the bus.
2.) this was a FOUR HOUR LONG bus ride.
3.) even if the culprit had waited until the last five minutes, that would STILL have been too long to ride in a bus that smells like poop.

the end.
