Jive talking
Besides really enjoying the Pixies show, I had a really good time hanging out with Travis. He is one of my favorite people right now. We talked to each other for months before we met so I really got to know him before we started hanging out. And while we talk all the time, but we don’t tend to see each other very often. Mostly because he works on the weekends and it’s not always easy for us to find each other during the week. So hanging out is always bonus time!
Our conversations are always fun and interesting, but talking to Travis can be a real challenge. He is way younger than me (seven years!) and a young 24. He will say stuff and I’m like “huh?”. He thinks it’s funny. And then he will make fun of me and talk in a fake Asian accent. Our cultural and age differences come out in our conversations all the time.
So last night when I was picking him up, I called him when I got to Sunset Cliffs and told him I was entering the Republic. And it was his turn to say “huh?”. Travis is from the Evergreen State (Washington) and has lived here about a year and a half. So I’m like, “You’ve never heard anyone call OB the Republic of OB?” Nope. So I had to explain what that was all about.
Then later it was his turn to school me. We were talking about chicks going to the girl’s room together and he asked me if I always use an “ass gasket”. Huh? I got it that he meant a toilet seat cover, but that just cracked me up. An ass gasket, he kills me.
