Vortexia's Secret

so i forgot to post about this when it happened, last weekish maybe? but it's definitely worth posting. cracked me up.

mayhem and i went to see a movie last week, and as we were walking out he had to stop by the restroom. the couple that had been sitting down the row from us was now walking in front of us. we noticed them because the dude tripped over his own feet walking down the stairs of the theater. so anyway, we were behind them until we stopped outside the men's restroom. for some reason that made the guy glance back. he and his girl rounded around the service console and around to a side exit from the building. as they turned parallel toward me, he glanced over again for a little longer. then as they approached the door, he looked again. holding the door open for his girlfriend he stared for quite a while since his girlfriend couldn't follow his gaze. halfway out the door he glanced again. and then after his body was already out the door, he backed up a step, stuck his head and arm back into the building, and pointed at me. the kind where you point your entire arm straight at the person, just under your eye, and squint your eye to aim it directly at the person. yay, that's not blatant. holy freaking cow. by that time i was blushing because i couldn't believe that he would be that obvious about it! i mean, seriously... discrete meant nothing to him. and even nicer was that he was good looking and appeared to be a fully functioning person. anyway, he gave mayhem and me a good laugh. i'm lucky that mayhem doesn't get jealous easily. in fact, he takes it in stride and feels proud that he's got the girl that everyone else is looking at.

as far as today goes, it went. thankfully my morning class is interesting and goes by faster than the timespan usually makes it feel. the prof is engaging, the topic is a little hard to handle, and he keeps a good balance of stories, info, and interaction. my afternoon class puts me to sleep, except i had a little reprieve when we broke into groups to practice something and our group just made it all funny. that's what we do best. night class got out early, so what else matters? the prof is pretty hot/cold, though... she is critical and harsh over nothing and doesn't like if you try to add something to the discussion that she doesn't already know, but then later it all disappears and she's kinda nice again. this won't get old after awhile... no, of course not.

i find it ironic that during the news i just overheard something about some other country where a dictator was denied the ability to do exactly what bush is doing right now: tapping phones, detaining people indefinitely, etc. somebody must have heard that you can take away all those personal freedoms on the precept of patriotism and safety... thankfully for the citizens of his country, somebody was supervising and recognized that it was a BAD idea. too bad for us that nobody cared until it was too freaking late.

P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
