Lizara ventures outside; a.k.a., what's that big yellow hot thing up there?

I had a slightly awkward moment this morning when I went to register at the Alliance Française, something I've been meaning to do for months, but haven't because *trails off into mumbling*. So I got there and found the Accueil and then the girl at the desk and I stood there staring at each other for a good thirty seconds. Okay, probably not that long, but it felt like a while. I couldn't decide what language to use as she was a Thai girl at the Alliance Française where they deal with everyone from Thais beginning to learn French all the way up to French expats wanting a little French culture to remind them of home. You'd think bonjour would have been the obvious choice of greetings, yet I wasn't at all sure how well I'd do listening to French with a Thai accent in a place with a substantial amount of background noise, yet I wasn't sure how well she'd speak English, yet I was having une petite crise de confiance, so I was waiting for her to open and then I'd follow her choice of languages. She was probably waiting for me for the same reason. Eventually I went with bonjour and all went reasonably well. The woman at the bibliothèque, on the other hand, saw my newly minted ID card with my obviously Anglophone last name and just went straight to English.

I finally dragged myself out there thinking it was probably a better plan for today than lying around moping. That would have been Plan B. But hey, I woke up early this morning, so as it turns out I've got plenty of time to do both. YAY.

I was going to attend a goth night tonight, but it's at a fetish club (I can deal with that...) in Patpong (not quite as sure about that one, but it IS goth music, after all). Then I checked out the webpage and it said all this stuff about doms bringing their subs and how if you came without a dom they'd help set one up for you. Call me a prude if you like, but at that point I chickened out. I like to keep my sexual deviancies behind closed doors, shuttered windows and thick walls, thank you very much.

So, the rest of the day will be me, Maupassant, iTunes, Assassin's Creed and maybe a pizza if I can convince myself to talk to Other People *shivers with fright* twice in the same day.
