Mad, Mad Libs

yesterday afternoon i went to a baby shower, where, during a game of mad libs, i was accused of cheating. WTF!?!? WHO WOULD CHEAT PLAYING MAD LIBS? that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard of, especially when the words i thought of were very common, like voluptuous and gynormous. anyone could have thought of that; i didn't need to steal other people's words. and it happened 3 times. i'm innocent!! what kind of person would suspect you of stealing their ideas in a game that doesn't even offer any rewards? once again, no one believes me and i was left to defend myself. most people thought it was funny, but one girl was really annoyed with me, from her facial expression.

in other news, Friday i went to the UN on a school field trip, where we had presentations by people who work there. the one interesting speaker was a 26-year-old pregnant British woman. She basically told us how she got hooked up with a job there, "fell in love within 3 weeks" and "slept her way to the top". really, she told us that. maybe it's British humor that i don't understand.

today i made attempt number 2 at making fish soup. last time i made it, the fish wasn't gutted, so the soup turned out bitter as hell. this time i think i got it right. we'll see what happens. I wanted to save the body for frying, so i only used the head and tail. halfway through the beheading process, i looked into its eyes and a wave of sadness swept over me. but i got over it fast, because i didn't want my vegetarian roommate coming home to see that sight. i just hope she doesn't get home within the next hour and take a peak inside the pot...
