A Moment

[tealin]

This evening I had a distinctly ironic experience. A decent-looking man got on the bus dressed in a business suit,* sat down in the parallel seats across from me, and, once settled, proceeded to sign a graffiti-style tag in the fog on the window.

Since today is rife with irony (and also wet), and since I have given up on cleaning my room to clean up my computer instead, an Amusing Photo Treat:



*Not uncommon in my city blessed with good public transit (dunno WHERE I might be directing this...)

All I know is, since I was a small child, people would come up and ask in a concerned voice, 'Are you all right?' Not people who know me, though (generally) ... you have a point.

I'll take 'intense' over 'sullen' any day.

Oh, I hate that. People come up to you and ask, "What's wrong?" just because you're not in the habit of walking around smiling like a character in an old Disney movie! My English teacher does it all the time... That thing with the businessman sounds very surreal, for sure. I could see my dad absentmindedly drawing a smily face on a foggy bus window if he rode a bus to work, and he did wear a suit to work until they changed the dress code policy, though. But a graffiti tag? You mean, something like "PIMPMASTAH J WAZ HERE", in those weird bubble letters?

It was more ... something spiky and unintelligible.

What a great opening sentence to a story! If I wasn't so lazy I'd do a drawing.

Drawing! Drawiiing!

Oh, the pressure! (brief sigh) Well, Ok, but you're gonna have to wait until I get some stuff done first (like picking up my roommates since their car is busted - they were going to drive it downtown and back when it's totally overheating. Can you believe it? *sigh* Kids...!).

If anybody cares, you can check my "journal" for the picture I did. That is all.

Well, how annoying. I suppose it could be worse - people have come to all kinds of interesting conclusions about me, based on first impressions (like the day I was treated like a homeless squatter by a security guard AND a dangerous pedophile by kids I'd been asked to pick up from school, as well as attendant teachers...it's quite a story!). I guess it's a lesson to us all about how first impressions can be way off the mark, right?
