Andi (MyNameIsNotDeja) is a lovely girl full of positivity. I have met her twice already in Bangkok and I really enjoy her company.
She is sincerely affirmative and uncynical about everything. The other night she was able to make everyone at a bar to dance.
We went to a faux-irish-pub to watch a Thai "rock" Band. They did covers of very predictable American Rock songs like Hotel California and several Metallica tracks. Since the lead singer, like most Thai men, cannot sing for the life of him without sounding like a girl, he decided (again, like all other Thai "rock" singer), to do the roar (or whatever you call it - singers in metal bands resort to doing that a lot). Thus in typical Thai fashion, taking all the bad elements of American Rock, and none of the good.
Anyway, after that was finally over, they played a bit of dancy music. The westerners in the bar were too busy talking to notice. And the Thais don't dance in places they're not supposed to. Anyway, Andi started dancing, made me and our friend dance with her, and soon everyone else was dancing! It was awesome!
Again in typical Thai style, they cut off the dance music just as it started playing "Get This Party started" to make way for yet-another-shitty-Thai-band to play. Also in a typical Thai fashion, the weighters angrily rearranged the tables back so that there was no place to dance.
In other news, it appears that I WILL be visiting India next month! OMG I'm so excited!!!
But yeah... Andi is awesome
