A Whole New Me!!!

Hey kids! I would like to welcome you all to my new and improved blog - I'm a Rainbow Take Two!! Not sure what happened to the old one...aparently I am the victim of some 'bug' in the template...but I had to give myself a new address too! I would like everyone to join me in unision with a "Thank you Leah!!!" Without whom none of this would have been possible-you really are the whiz, cuz!!

As Meghan pointed out, I even missed my one year blog anniversary! Let's just say that at my one year juncture I wanted to give you all a chance to look back and reflect on the past year (cause I don't give you ample opportunity at the best of times). But I am back, and aren't I pretty!!!

Life in Taichung has been great! We have joined a new yoga studio and have been going obsessively. Seasons are changing and we are getting a taste of the heat to come. Pao Pao and I were in the park this morning and I noticed that even my ass was sweating! Oh, summer in Taiwan!! I MUST get my a/c fixed ASAP or I am in big trouble!

I want relate my past weekend cause it was truely the strangest weekend I had in a LONG time!!

Friday night I went to KTV with some work people. Everyone else had ditched out, so it was just Carl and I joining all the Chinese teachers. It was good fun, we butchered a few songs, danced and laughed. At 10 they all announced it was time to go home. Some were getting calls from their mother's. ooookaaay...Carl and I were just getting going so we met up with some mates of mine for a birthday party at a 500 for all you can drink place. Ex and his new girl were there, along with quite a few goodfriends!

Later in the night this girl who was obviously good friends with ex and new girl sat down beside me. She was hammered and started talking about men in Taiwan. I mentioned that I had moved here with my ex. She came out with a very classy "what, did he get a taste of that Taiwanese pussy" Nooo, actually you know him. Turns out she is new girl's flatmate and bestfriend. Her reaction was the really strange part. She was dumbfounded that I had dated ex. Couldnt see us together at all (me either). But her reasoning...."you are just so sexy, and have such a presence, Ex is really good guy, great guy, but I can't imagine you with him...." blah blah blah! This is his new girlfriend's best friend!!!!! Poor girl!

To top off her night Ex cornered me in his drunken stupor to tell me that he still loved me, thinks about me everyday, I am the most important person to him in Taiwan, I am his girl....NOOOOOO! I am NOT your girl. You have a girl, and I am not it. I don't want to be your girl anymore. I loved you, and grieved you and got over you. You can't do this to me!!!! You can't do this to her! Selfish bastard. He had no clue that he was saying anything wrong...even said stuff like "I know I should tell you these things more often, but it is hard' NO you shouldnt tell me these things! I ended up walking away, having a wee teary moment in the bathroom, where Rainbow found me, said all the right things, gave me a hug and went out to the bar that Ex had left.

End of the night, bar clearing out- I see a white guy being dragged out while a taiwanese guy wielding a broken beer pitcher is held back . I go out, chuckling at the testosterone drama, to see the white guy covered in blood. He had messed with gansters and got smashed in the head with a bottle. Everyone was FREAKING OUT!! The guy had been a prick, but he was soooo scared. He was yelling for someone to hold his scalp together. I got some napkins from the bar and looked him square in the eyes. People were screaming, crying, yelling-general panic and mahem - just what a bleeding guy needs. "Look at me, you are ok! It looks worse than it is, Yes I promise! Don't listen to them, listen to me!" He held my gaze for all his life and I continued to talk him down while telling crying, screaming girl to fuck off, until his mates and ambulance came.

When I found my friends they said I looked like I had been out masacring kittens, so they cleaned me up and we moved on to another bar. As the sun was coming up I was talking to a boy that I have been flirting with for a long time (remember "ravishing"?) He suggested we go sit down, and I said that it had been a REALLY long night and I was going to lay down. He got out his keys and told me that he needed to be outside his apartment by ten thirty. I told him goodluck and went to find a taxi with a friend. As I was walking away he called out to me, when I turned around he just said goodnight. It wasnt until I woke up that I realized he thought he was going home with me. I am SO dumb. I am not going home with anyone with that little effort, but I didnt even realize it was on the table until I woke up!

So, yeah, that was my wierd and wacky friday night. Saturday night had me out until 11 am Sunday morning watching people do lines of K. Super interesting sociological study!! I dable recreationally in some drugs, but that is one that hold NO appeal for me, but it was great fun to watch!!

This weekend was much tamer. Yoga, meal out with the girls, bit of dancing! Good night's sleep! I have dedicated Sunday to playing on my new blog! I hope you are all well-I did some drunk commenting last night, so I will have to go back and make sure they are at least coherant and not offensive!

Happy Sunday everyone!!
