Being setup for a surprise blind date by my parents:
My dad, of all people, calling me up to go get something to eat with my mom and then both leaving me there to eat with this, this--person: a woman 5 years older than me (I was 28 at the time), not that she was unattractive looking--but her smug, superior, attitude made her homlier by the nanosecond (her first action was to give me her business card with a bunch of letters on it--my thought was "Geesh, is that all you are: a bunch of letters?" and "Are all Taiwanese women like this?")--, and obviously looking for a quick match to keep her from getting deported since her visa expired only recently before the date.
She was impressive all right like a Karate-Kid Crane Kick to the face. Needless to say it took all my energy to remain civil to her. For those who know me this is an impressive feat in and of itself.
This was also the same--person--I had the distinct--pleasure--of meeting at my friend Jason Quan's wedding who was so excessively friendly to the point of hatefulness and confirmed hatred when she HAD to show me her rather large engagment ring and point out her physician financier & La Migra savior--excuse me financee and lover--I think I wrote a poem about her some months ago.
I certainly wish her happiness, long life, and many lovely children as long as I don't have to interact with her ever again. I guess Shakespeare's Hamlet wasn't off when he said, "God gives you one face, and you make yourself another." Such women do exist.
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
