today was SUCH a good day.

I mean...I blew all my money -_-” but it was such a good day!

I dolled myself the fuck up went to pick up my tips, went to the mall ate at the food court-in retrospect wish I hadn’t I’d be twenty bucks richer- bought four pairs of sunglasses, two pairs of statement socks, a pleated mini skirt and a crop see through the sleeves sweat shirt..at that point I had $24 bucks left over for new hair dye & bleach I need for some touch ups and also conditioner-buying comics at this point was out the window til next paycheck but here’s where my day got fun.

I got home so tired and so sore cuz of my jellies but I came home to mum in evening wear ready to go saying her friend and husband were taking her out to dinner and since I was already looking good I should join them. I perked the fuck up cuz free fancy food but I wanted to switch shoes and wear my new skirt so I was hopping up and down  touching up my make up, making adjustments to my outfit, wiping sweat off and trying to drink water all at once, 

So mum’s friend arrives sans the husband and I’m still chilling right cuz again, free fancy food minus gross old dude husband=happy Elsa who without a male present even more comfortable in her mini skirt. Little do I know we’re going to visit homegurl’s daughter at my new hookah hangout. Daughter has just been hired there and mum’s homegurl wants to check it out. I end up being formally introduced to the owner and get a free hookah as well as socializing pleasantly with mum, homegurl and her daughter as well as the owner who treats us to two pitchers of his personal supply of arabic tea. His hospitality was so top notch and generous. The covo was so worldly. It was everything I love experiencing. It was great. I tipped ten bucks to homegurl’s daughter and left ten at the front asking if there was a tip jar-there wasn’t so i just said they were tips as well as some on the table anyway. I hope the owner doesn’t take it personally or thinks I was trying to pay after all. I just appreciated how welcoming everything was-we were definitely honored guests. I just hope the last of my cash didn’t commit a faux pas-what are turkish etiquette customs like I wonder? 

We went to Whataburger afterwards and joked about going to the club but decided not to.

Ten things you need to know about turkish people

1. If a Turk at a football match tells you `Ananin amina kale kurar sabah aksam mac yaparim`, this means you were given an imaginative Turkish insult, i.e. `I will put goals in your mother`s cu** and play football all day long`. Quite suitable for football matches.

`Ananin amina cam dikerim, golgesinde seni sikerim trans` is yet another “tough” Turkish swear expression, meaning `I`ll send a small pine tree in your mother`s cu** and fu** in its shade`. Apart from vulgarity, the Turks can brag with the number of names morally challenged women (Kashar, Fahise, Kaltak, Kahpe, Orospu).

2. Gestures for `yes` and `no` can be rather confusing in Turkey: `yes` is achieved by raising your head up, while`no` is achieved with an identical gesture while lifting your eyebrows and clicking your tongue at the same time.

3. Putting your index finger and thumb together in a circle does not mean `OK` in Turkey. In fact, you are calling the person a homosexual, which is exceptionally insulting to them.

4. It is not a rare site to see two men holding hands in Turkey, while walking down the street. This does not mean they are homosexuals, but very good friends. In addition, friends say hello by kissing each other on the cheek, regardless of what gender.

5. Turks `stare` at people more than the westerners are used to. If a Turk intensely stares at you, this does not mean he is ready to attack, he simply finds you interesting.

6. The gesture of placing your thumb between your index and middle finger is the most vulgar gesture known in Turkey.

7. A thumb up in the air represents hitchhiking, nothing else.

8. The hardest question to ask the Turks is whether they are European or Asian. If you do ask it, you can expect extensive essays on the country`s territory, history, mentality, customs…

9. You will have a hard time making friends with the Turkish football fans because, after the English, they are the most aggressive fans in the world (they have already spatted with the Swiss at this EURO competition).

10. If you manage to make friends with Turkish football fans, the most important thing you need to know is that the Turkish word for beer is `bira`.
