night - novembre 18

after resting a bit after going to Pran Buri, we all went to Spanky's birthday party. me, anne, kelsey, jamie, tristen. the pre-party was at nino's. and then we were scheduled to go "clubbing". nino was being a huge jerk so i stopped being nice to him. he gets in these moods sometimes and it's really annoying. we listened to music, sang happy birthday, socialized. pretty normal party. a guy i go to school with confessed his love for me. he was really drunk and thought it would be a good time to do that. i always knew he liked me, because i can just tell, but he has a really great girlfriend that i just always tried to ignore it. but not tonight, because he was letting it all out. he told me that i am amazing, beautiful creature that is beyond human. and if he didn't have a girlfriend, he would pursue me. it was all a little too much, and i didn't know what to do. tristen, anne, kelsey, and i left the party for awhile so tristen could teach anne how to ride a motorbike. she did a really good job. then i decided that i should try, and it didn't work out too well. i am too absent minded like my mom to immediately be able to operate a motorbike. heck, it took me long enough to decently drive a car. but yeah, i tried riding the motorbike. couldn't do it. tristen got on the motorbike behind me and guided me around, showing me how to switch gears and put on the breaks and such. it was a rush. after nino's, an "army of tuk tuks" came to pick everyone up and take us to town. i didn't take a tuk tuk. i rode on a motorbike with Jamie and Kelsey. we were so squished together. it was really fun. it was too late to go to Hilton, so we went to SamSam. a 60 year old european "man" purposely grabbed my butt, so i cursed him out. at the karaoke bar later in the night, i got on the microphone and had a few things to say to the european men in hua hin. how they are disgusting and have no respect for women. i'd had enough, i was so mad. i am so mad seeing these men sexually harass these women. they think just cause they're on vacation in a foreign country, that makes them all high and mighty and gives them permission to act like apes. i really wanted to hurt one of them, and i was waiting for my next chance, but it didn't come. i left the karaoke bar with Kelsey at around 5am. my man Crab (as detailed in a previous post) gave us a ride home in his really nice truck. i had been avoiding him for some time now, but decided to stop doing that. because he really is a nice guy and there's no reason for me to ignore him. he made fun of me because i live here, but cannot speak thai. so i said funny phrases in english that i knew he wouldn't understand. two can play at this game.
