pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?

When I am in Fargo, my stomping-ground, I am more than ready to take on any problem that life might throw at me.  I can think it through, develop a plan of attack, then execute it.

Here, in Thailand, where I don't know anyone, I am pretty much a flustered wreck.  I couldn't find my airport pick-up, so I just went with some random taxi driver, and I didn't have any small bills so I paid him WAYY too much, and instead of giving me change he just went "hee-hee!" and put my money away delightedly.

Later he asked for a tip, to which I said, "nuh-uh I gave you way too much already," thereby making myself look like a complete jerk of an American to my guesthouse manager.

Well. I'm here, I guess that's the main thing.  I think this will be good for me, as long as I don't get lost. I should also probably write my address in Thai and keep that with me.

I want to go out and dance tonight SO BAD but I'm by myself... and... I have class tomorrow. Better not.

if you wanna listen to the French version it's called "Elle ma dit"
