Me: "Sure. Will I have to say much or prepare anything?"
J: "No, we just need your face."
James: "Lunch?? We're doing DiShuiDong again."

James: "So you're not Chinese after all."
Me: "I'm in charge of it? I was under the impression I was just assisting you."
J: "You ARE assisting me. I'm putting you in charge of it. "
Me: "There's no SIM card slot on this phone I just bought. Can you not use one?"
E: "Let me see....Sam this isn't a phone."
Me: "....shit."
Me: "I would say my biggest problem is needing to know everything. Like, in a friendship or relationship I have a compulsive need to know exactly what's going on. I've learned to let go a little, though."
Mike: "That's your flaw? Fine. Here you go. I had a wonderful time. I would consider this a date, and a good one at that. I will be calling you again soon to hang out, and most likely texting you tomorrow. Anything else you want to know?"*

I love, love, love this.
