on a fairly regular basis, i seem to step into the wonderfully semi okay world of mongolian bbq. this isn't really by choice, seeing as often our meetings will be held there. sometimes for lunch though, however, i cannot really think of many choices of somewhat healthy vegetarian meridian cuisine. it almost doesn't exist around here. therefore, this has become a place that i go to more frequently then most places.
today finally got a little weird.
supposedly one of the times that i went there about three or so months ago, i was told i looked like this stupid celebrity woman that i cannot stand. since i found out that all the cooks there believe i look like her, i've noticed my service is fantastic. they seem to go out of their way to make me happy, and they always put my order before everyone else in the line. that i don't really like. then today this one older guy got out from the cooking line to give me this big hug. everytime he'd walk by, he'd grab my hand and ask me how i was doing. this made me feel a little bit out of place, but i decided i wouldn't really say anything since i have absolutely no idea how to actually tell them anything that they would honestly understand anyways. then the other guy, the younger of the two that i will admit is rather attractive, came up and glared at the older guy. i stared in this state of confusion like, "dudes, i just want my food." this didn't seem to mean anything to them. instead, it became some sort of weird male dominationing mongolian fiasco. each one was feverishly trying to please my every need as i sat down to finally consume the satisfactory meal. don't get me wrong...the attention was somewhat awesome, i guess. the fact that i have some sort of bizarre status there is kind of great. i didn't really like the whole "lets fight over who gets to help her" aspect though. i mean, personally all i really needed was my food. then a box to put my food in. then my check. that's it. if you want to fight over this, i guess you can. i guess you can get angry at one another for how you think that person should have completed this task. is it really that much of a big deal to please me? i tip okay, but nothing too outlandishly brilliant...like 15-20% or so...i guess the lesson for me today is to remember that if i ever end up in mongolia, i will definitely be okay. anywhere else in the world, i might end up becoming some sort of homeless wall decoration for a macy's or whatever.
