I am getting tired of it. I think it is the Thai man doing his passive-agressive thing, but man am I hating on it.
Went to a traditional Buddhist wedding. I would hate to be famous – even accidentally. I cannot imagine why anyone would want fame. The fortune I want, just no celebrity thank you very much.
Chicks don’t stare as long as some of the dudes around here. A girl I used to know said that she liked it when she would watch to see how long the ladyboys would stare at me when we were in public.
Not fun!!!
