t minus 3 days till mae ma meung thai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alright its been a while since i piosted, and i really dont remember th EXACT ordwer that things occurred, so ill just spill them out when i think of them kay?

hmm so earlier last week, may friend joelle, came to khon kaen from ubon to hang out for a couple of days, and zach came to hang out at my house, so one day all the kk exchang students came to namphong, and we just hung out in a resturaunt listening to music and eating all day, the resturaunt is pretty cool, the booth that you eat in, is a table thats in a sort of hut thing, thats on stilts above the water, and when you want to order something you bang on this metal pipe and someoohne comes out to meat you, we must have stayed there for a couple hrs or so!

over the next couple of days zach and i would go into kk and hang out with the girls, shop at the night market, and watch movies, i think the best ones were kill bill vol 1 2
but hey thats just me you know!

hmm i also got to go visit the doctor onwed and thursday!
it was kinda awkard, cause when i came to eat lunch with him on wednestady, he forgot to mention that he would be in a meeting, so i show up and hes all, comeon in ryan, here lets get you some food while all of the other people in the meeting stare at you!
later on he was doin an ultra sound on a man, and when he finnished, was suddenly possesed by the urge to persorm one on me, DESPITE all of my protests!
apparently except for my surgerys my insides look just fine!

after that awkward ordeal, i went out to the er with the doc, and found a man that had been in a motor cycle accident, and a pice of rebar was shoved into his heel, so the doctor asked me if id like to do the stiches, uh duh...
so i was able to do the three stiches to close the puncture on his heel the guy ws totalyy cool about it too, im pretty sure he had something to do with the temples, cause he had all these cool monk tatoos on his back and chest!
what else,
oh we got a cat!
yeah, its a little grey animal that has way too many sharp things at its disposal, tuk asked me what i wanted to name it, i told her ma ahan, which litterally means, dog food
she laughed, but decided she wanted to name her ryan
yep
ryan, cause when i go home there will still be a ryan at the house!
so far ryan has clawed me, bit me and peed on me!
(i was on the phone witha friend when it peed on me, i yelled some choice words, and megan freaked out for a sec)

well last friday i went to a confrence with all of the YES(youth exchange students)
i drove down with all three of my host parents atom and some other rotarians
the thing that sucked anbout the confrence was that we all had to wear our school uniforms, which ment shoes and socks for me, that was actually kinda the joke for all of us, cause last time we were all togetr and we were being told about the rules for the confrence, one of the leaders asked if we had any questions, i asked if we had to wear socks....
bad move ryan..
to this day we dont know why, but at that question siri EXPLODED on me!!!!!!!
yell ing i shopuld allways wear socks(and if you guys know me, socks are my least favorite article of clothing) and how im a bad YES if im not wearing them and got publicly chewed out by this dude for the next couple min. about the atrocities of my sans-sock lifestyle!
anywqays we all made sure to wear our socks and no one died!

so the confrence was sweet i got to meet all of my friends again, and when we had nothin to do wed just chill in someones room, play guitar, or skateboard(zach brought his from america, and started to teach me how to do tricks, i managed to land some, but my shins got hacked up...
oh so like i said in an earlier blog i was supposed to play guitar, but when i got there i found out megan brought her guitar we dicided it would we way cooller to get the band together again, so i taught her a song that i had written, nad vice versa and agreed to back eachother up on singin
we were so pumped id play my song first, cause well her song kinda blew mine out of the water, immean half the song was written in thai!

after a whole day of practicing and waiting for our turn to go up(oh some of my other freinds rotary clubs made them show off thai danceing! they did great and they were all decked out in traditional thai costumes and HEAVY makeup!
we did our firlst song, which was.... decent, her mics werent working, and my guitar was turned on full balst,but we had a fun time cause all of our friends had crowded the stage and were cheering us on
once we finished we were just about to start her song when the mc goes hey you only play one song!
even though we already told him and everybody weed be doing two, but he kicked us offstage, and that was all that we played that night, we were all really bummed, but hey well meet again in like 10 days, so weel how off her song then!

oh one thing about the confrence was freaking that dude from oklahoma was there, you know the guy who thinks im from"cali"
(shudder..)
it was pretty funny, cause joelle and i have voiced our opinions about the use of the word "cali"
(shudder...)
and every time he d=saw me he would inquire " what up cali?"
and evry time id have to restrain my self and reply through gritted teeth
"nothin much"
c'mon!!
who in thier right mind calls california cali???
alright
settling down.....
after the first night my rotary entourage tok off, and left me to fend for myself, so i got a ride home with this old guy who was goin to kk, and i swear i was in this van for 5 hrs with yoda, nice guy, but he could have been argualbly the single greatest jedi in history!
first off this guy was Short! i mean very SHORT somewhere in the ball park of 5 foot
secondly he had ll this kinda whispy innapropriate facial hair
an lastly every couple min or so heed maked these little grunting noises, like he was pondering the mysteries of the force or something like that
anyways it made for an entertaining car ride!

in other news conditions have greatly improved with my host bro, were getting alon real well, i actually founbd a book of his called AMERICAN SLANG, its really funny when he practices on me cause he dropps his coice really low an wiil in a super serious over innuniated voice ask
"whats the plan... Stan???"
so im tryin to help him there! its super funny though
hmmm
mae tuk is good too, she and i are speakin in thai alot more, its really fun hangin out with her!
the other night we stayed up and wathced horror movies on tv!
ummm
my host dfad is still a jerk...
dude wont say a word to me, but i guess i shouldent comlain, cause i am gettin a room to stay in!

welll like i said in the tilte ive only ogt like 3 days left till my mom comes to thailand, so next blog will have our adventures in it!!!
