Avalon had it's luao today and we basically geared our day around getting the free food and drinks and stuff. They had a band (the "Tiny Bubbles Band") and tiki torches and leis and straw hats and junk like that. I guess this is what my exorbitant rent gets me. We put out a blanket on the lawn and basically munched out and watched the band sing...poorly.



After that, i went with Kyle to meet some guy in the parking lot of IKEA to pick up a muffler he was purchasing. I don't know what these kids did but they had some really nice cars. It was like a mini-import showoff. One car was probably the cleanest Accord i've seen in awhile, with a muscular body kit but not overly huge. The black Civic was all tricked out too with nifty lights and guages and all manner of cool things.



Kyle ended up staying the night and me, him and Leslie sat around on the boardwalk and chatted. Mainly about race and the meaning of "asian-american" and stuff like that. By the time we moved inside, we had moved onto relationships and we were joined by Louis and Hong. One funny thing that we had going on was to define, with about three terms, the type of person we would ideally want in a relationship. For example, Leslie's was "Confident, Goofy, Hip Hop." Louis wanted "Sweet" (although i think he is slightly drawn to the wild and crazy). Kyle was basically broken down into, "a girl who can wear wifebeaters, is fashionably versatile and can play in the mud." I ideally would want "Spunky Hip Hop." Good conversation all around for sure.
