| After 10 years, I figured it was time to get new sneakers. You know, after the stuffing started coming out of my old ones by the handful. "Yep," I says to meself, "Ah reckon it's time. Yep." So Ah heads to the Mall of Death, so called because it's so big that by the time you get to the end you're being crushed to death by your purchases. And 3 shirts, 1 sweater, a pair of boots and a space heater later, I emerged triumphant with sneakers. Also, I HAVE A SPACE HEATER! YAY 80 degrees in my room!!!!! | | |
| So I got back from Israel last week, and here's the deal:
Israel part I
Israel part II | | |
| A subway station, 9:45 a.m.
"Excuse me miss, do you know how to get to Columbia Heights?"
"No, I'm sorry." Uh oh. Strange man talking to me. Go away, strange man.
"You tellin' me you don't know how to get to Columbia Heights?"
"Sorry." Maybe he will go away faster if I talk at him in Hebrew.
"You know, Columbia Heights? On the Green line?"
Hebrew BACKWARDS. Wait, why is he asking me if he knows?
"You know som'm gurrrl?"
Is he staring at my necklace? I think he is. It's from Peru. It probably has cocaine hidden inside it somewhere. I hope he isn't going to try and steal it.
"I'd like to take you home wit' me gurrrrrrl."
He's not staring at my neckalce. Oh my god.
"What you think of that gurrrl?"
"No thanks."
"Take you home... stare into your pretty blue eyes... take rrrrril good care of you..."
"Did you not hear me? No." Stabbing myself in eye with cellphone antenna. Wait, cellphone! Will call my boss.
"Excuse me sir, I have a call to make."
"C'mon gurrrrl. Tell me you don't want somma dis!"
His crotch is in my personal space. ENGAGE PROTON TORPEDOES! RUN AWAY! THE TRAIN HAS ARRIVED!!!!! | | |
| I got no sleep the night before, and worried because Mondays are 12 hour work days...
...but my evening class ended two hours early, yay!
I woke up exhausted and stressed over all the final projects that were due today...
...and came home triumphant and chillaxed because only one was due today.
I was sad that there were some people I didn't get to know as well as I'd like during the semester...
...but I spent extra time hanging out with them today.
A man followed me around a parking lot in his pickup truck shouting "Hey, dumb bitch!"...
...and a cashier told me I was beautiful.
Silver lining in every cloud, right? Well, I'm going to boost my silver lining points by eating some rather delicious chocolate. And then I'm going to tell someone they're beautiful. And then I'm going to SLEEP. | | |
| Boston was mucho fun, and I even got to live like a college student again - in a dorm (for one night), and eating pizza 3 meals a day. Now that I'm back in MD, I have to find new and interesting ways to entertain myself... like discovering that my computer has a comic making program. I now present my first comic (made with the help of Google Images):
