Last night, a couple of the Korean girls who are co-workers came over after a rehearsal for a gig. We had...SOJU! My first time! I got pretty excited about it. Apparently, there are rules to drinking soju.

1) You can't pour yourself a drink, otherwise the person in front of you will have bad luck for 3 years.
2) You can't pour more soju into a glass that already has some in it.
3) You have to eat pork belly sahm with it.

Personally, I think that's a little too much to prepare for drinking.

Anyways, the soju was pretty weak. The night before, my drinking buddy came over, and we had shots of vodka. Compared to vodka, the Korean stuff was nothing. Didn't really matter, I suppose because it definitely served its purpose (of course, it doesn't take much with the Korean folks...man, they can't handle their alcohol). One of the girls got pretty drunk, talked trash to a friend that I "drunk" dialed (I put it in quotations because I wasn't really drunk, but i was still drinking), and passed out while saying, "No, we can't sleep..." Hehe...it was funny.

The "deep thought" moment during the drunkenness was when one of the girls said, "Grace, you're not all Korean. You're really American too." I guess that's true, but I don't know how I feel about that. Just because I'm not a FOB, I don't act like one and I don't have an accent when i speak English, does that mean I'm not all Korean? I've always wondered why Korean girls never tried to be friends with me. It's not like they looked down on me or were mean to me, but they all seemed to always clump together and always hang out and stuff, but I was never invited. Is it because I'm not Korean enough? It just sucks sometimes because I feel like I don't really feel completely comfortable in either group. If I'm with a whole bunch of Korean people, I feel slightly strange. If I'm with a whole bunch of white people, and I'm the only Asian, I really feel weird. I guess there's really no way to get over it...except to not think about too much, maybe.
