Great Wall of crap crap crap

Hello all,

Back from another Saturday night out in Shanghai and quite upset/confuse right now. First off, I'll be going to Beijing tomorrow, Sunday, at 8 in the morning. The boss at my firm just called up josh tonight at 9 while I was having dim sum and tells him that he needs both of our passport for Beijing. While it's a free trip, I don't enjoy the last minute warning kinda deal. I like to plan ahead. But I had to rush home after dinner to give him my passport number and then met up with Josh and Theresa for happy hours ( 6pm to 6am) at City Diner.

Tonight it was a bit ridiculous. I had a few drinks because it's buy one get one free and they decided to send this napkin over to this guy that they both thought were gay and ask him to go out with me. While the guy was attractive, and I was interested, I didn't think it was a right thing to do.... Basically the napkin said if he would like to have dinner with me and check the box of "yes or yes", which the guy didn't return, but Theresa in her drunken state was quite loud about how I should go over to talk to him...which I don't understand why because if he's not interested, he's not interested. She was loud and I'm sure he heard part of her conversation about him. Anyhow, the night was ok until Josh and Theresa got quite drunk and began their thing about how I need to loosen up like them and stop being so uptight about things. I know that they both are easy going people, but really now, I have only known them for 3 weeks and they have been yelling at me for being so uptight about things and not relax. I'm sorry if I'm not easy going like them, and I know I shouldn't let things bother me as easily, but I'm not about to change immediately to appease them. It's a process...and I'm quite tire about them yelling at me about it. I accept that they are great people and I'm jealous that they are quite easy going, but I have to grow in my own term....it's so upsetting when people keep telling you that they care about you and they want you to be more sexual or open about yourself. It was one of those conversation at night where they don't think I'm sexual because I refuse to discuss openly about sexuality like them. I'm not comfortable talking to people about my sexuality and it doesn't help when they force me to talk about it. Grrr..... so a good night suddenly turns into the two of them telling me that I need to relax more to be like them...and I'm trying to tell them slowly that they just need to accept things the way they are and get over it. It got me upset actually but I understand that they might be too drunk, or if that's how they feel, then they need to stop trying to make me more relax like them, it just won't happen with the snap of their fingers...

But Josh finally leave to meet up with Andrea and I have the responsibility of taking Theresa's drunken butt home. I did stopped by the guy's table and apologize to him about my drunken loud friend because I'm sure he heard theresa yelling about him.... then having to drag theresa out of the bar, onto a taxi, make sure she uses mandarin instead of english to tell him where to get home, watch as she threw up in a plastic bag ( Deja vu....) and walk her to her apartment, upstair and put her to bed. Somehow I'm still the less drunk of the two of us. I had an entire broken conversation with the taxi driver when he have to drive me home because I accidentally said " Shanxi loo" instead of saying " shianxi loo"....but now I'm home...listening to Fantasia ( Don't judge me Rachel!) and packing for Beijing....Great Wall tomorrow... hungover and fighting chinese people to see the great wall.

Well I hope you all enjoy my saturday night. I went shopping earlier today...buy an expensive pair of underwear, but did find where I can get my Dior and Dolce for less than 9 US dollars....

I'll take some pictures of Beijing to upload for all. Have a good night.
