I want to be a comic book!!!!

Hello I am Sunny and I am NOT the teacher from Hwaseong... I teach somewhere else... yes..

So yesterday was our new teacher's celebration dinner, and I was trying to socialize with the others in my very limited korean.

Here is the translated version from korean:
Teacher 1: I loved comic books so much that I once skipped school, and rode my bike all the way to the comic book store to take out a bunch of comics.
(laughter ensues)
Me: (trying to say "I want to be a comic book artist") I.... I want to do comic books!
Teacher 1 and Teacher 2: You want to....??????
Me: Um... uh... I want to be comic books?
Teacher 1: You want to BE a comic book???
Teacher 2: You want to be a comic book....

Later on that evening... (in english)
Me (to the english teacher): Are you drunk?
English teacher: (Obviously a little tipsy) No...
Me: ...
English teacher: Okay, maybe I am a litttle~

always funny when they want you to think they are not drunk. haha. Especially when they drink the soju then tip the glass over their heads to prove they drank it all and soju pours out onto their head as they say "One shot!"
