“Quick Gun”!!! Finally, and “Goemon” another visual feast by the director of “Casshern” »

Let’s get one thing straight first: Yes, I live in South Korea, but I’m affiliated with the US military bases scattered around the peninsula, and so I have access to American moola.

With that said, I am now a proud and happy owner of a $2 bill, and I type this with a big smile on my face. See, the military bases do not use pennies except at post offices (thank goodness, I suppose), and $2 are something of a rarity to many people here. Including me. My mother has one, but she refuses to let me have hers. Ever since her blunt refusal, I’ve been dying to have a $2 of my own.

I finally got my chance! A friend of mine went to California for a week, and he asked what I wanted from California. You can guess what my request was, and he granted it! Booyah! I told my mother, and she asked, “Where did you buy it?” I smugly told her that I got it for “free”. Then she said, “Ask him to get more for your aunts and uncles. We like to keep it in our wallets for good luck, you know.”

Uh, uno momento, Mother. My friend’s not going back to the states any time soon, so sorry to burst your bubble, haha. But yay! If that entire thing about the good luck is true . . . well I need some luck right now. I’m not one for superstitions, but having that $2 bill did bring something similar to luck: pure, unadulterated joy!

lol. I had one before but i think my dad took it… -_-; I miss the days of NO PENNIES in my change… i think they’re a waste of precious metal. haha

LOLOLOL!  You should have been with me when I went to Guam in 04.  I bought something that was like $#.56 cents.  I was expecting $0.45 cents back, but when I received $0.40 and four pennies, I literally stared at the coins in my hand until my friend said, “Yes, Tara, they use pennies in Guam.”

. . . Pennies are such a strange concept for me!


lol...Nice.
