Emo After the Blog Parteeh
January 28, 2007
I didn’t win the iPod Video at the Blog Parteeh.
So me, Karla, Aaron and Ajay went
around looking for a Starbucks after the event, so we’d have some
drinks to match our newly-acquired half-dozen boxes of Krispy Kreme
donuts. And I also wanted to drink away my iPod-induced misery.
Unfortunately, we weren’t able to find a Starbucks, but we did find a quaint little place where thet had good cappuccinos.
AARON: There donuts are delicious.
ME: (munching on a donut while crying) But I wanted the iPod
KARLA: Aw c’mon Ade, there are like fifty bloggers there and one iPod.
ME: But youy see, I have ID# 1079! And the winner’s ID was 1078! I am emo!!! [stops crying lone enough to stuff my face with another donut]
AJAY: You seem so contented enough with the donuts. And you have a nano.
ME: I’m a [stuffs two donuts into mouth] loser.
AARON: Here. Slash your wrists already! [hands me a dinner knife]
ME: No way man.
And so ends my pathetic desire to get a new iPod just weeks after I bought me a nano.
But
iPod-emoness aside, it was fun. I was finally able to meet some of the
people whose blogs I’ve been reading for the last year or so. And it
was surprising that some people who I thought didn’t know I existed
went up to me and said that they actually read my blog. I salute them
for their valor. I mean, after all the creepy stuff I posted here, I
was thinking that being in the same room with me would scare some
people away.
But I think they mostly wanted to see if I really had man boobs.
I also noticed that the most whispered line in the Parteeh was “Siya pala un!”
