throw away a giant box of my landlord's old stuff (that he said i could throw away) by the trash cans in front of my building. go back up to the 19th floor and watch out my window as people come and look through the stuff and take it away. gone within 20 minutes. (that was slow--last time i did this it was gone in 5 minutes.)
while bringing the box downstairs, i saw a foreigner who i didn't know sitting in the lobby of my building. this is weird. there are not foreigners that i don't know in my apartment complex. on my way back inside, i started a conversation with her. she is from ukraine visiting a friend. i am living here teaching. then she asked me if i am a dancer. yes!!
i can only guess that this is because i am skinny and was wearing something comfortable that i suppose could be something like what a dancer might wear if they were just practicing. maybe i missed something i should have been doing in life. anyway, much nicer to be asked, "are you dancer?" than to be told by chinese and korean friends, "you are so skinny!!" what is the appropriate response to that? "sorry?" i still don't know. maybe it's, "i am a dancer."
