“I’m gonna kick your ass”
The title of my post is actually, for once, not referring to something Steph said to me in the morning. We will get to what it’s referring to in a moment, but there are some other things to cover. There is a “new guy” at work, finally. Which means that i am not longer the youngest kid in my group. While i’m not srue how much i’ll be working with him, he’s actually a pretty cool guy. Thank the lord, because some of the other new people on lab are mega nerds. You have no idea, so i will paint you a picture.
On our way out of lab yesterday, we were reading license plate holders, and at least two of them made Steph and I stop ion our tracks. One was something about Lord of the Rings, the other said “My other cars drive themselves on MARS!!!” Emphasis is original. But yeah, I enjoy the enthusiasm, but come on guys, There is no need to be like this. Thank god New Guy isn’t.
Anways, we all went out thursday after setting up two of our friends. And let’s just say I was a beast. I don’t think i’ve been that way in a long time, but it was a good time for all involved. Quotes from all involved include “Be right back, I need to go make out with someone,” “I can’t believe she’s 20,” “Now I feel bad,” and “Do you see me? I’m running behind your car,” of which the last one is my favorite. As I said it sprinting down Arroyo towards Jordan’s car.
The next day was a little rougher, but it went well. I brought my work home this weekend. shh don’t tell anyone. Last night I went out for drinks with some newer friends. I was happy for that, they were good people and definitely had a good time. One of the people I met, Veronica, took my camera and now i have about a million pictures of the evening, which is terrific. I also got to hang out with some people from the non engineering side of work, which was cool. I even met up with my section’s BAM and some of her crue, who were not motley in the least.
The night ended at barney’s meeting up with some other friends who were having a bit of a birthday shindig, and then heading back to my place for some homemade cookies (thanks, steph) and a few other drinks.
It was great.
Now on to a real story. Walking to villa sorriso, the bar we all met up at friday, I was minding my own business. There was a slower man walking in front of me, so I was going kind of slow. In front of Mi Piace, a guy comes up to me from a bit out of the way, as well, and says the following: You keep looking at me like that i’m going to kick your ass.
What the hell? He might’ve added punk bitch, or something in Spanish at the end, but ?I can’t remember. I was more concerned with what the hell happened. I basically jsut said “alright” and kept walking, not looking back until i was a good 50 feet away, and then I couldn’t find him at all. I am not really sure why I attract these types of things.
A little further down, the homeless lady who is always on the corner asked me for some money. And when I said no she gave my hair compliments. This is odd for me, because the hair is all Steph’s doing, but getting a compliment from a crazy homeless person really isn’t the validation I’m looking for.
I am watching the Germany – Turkey replay right now, and the 2nd turkish goal was, in effect, because the Turk striker faked this guy out of his shoes, and passed a perfect cross about 3 feet away from the goalie. I don’t watch soccer often, but these guys are amazing to watch. So good.
Go Spain, by the way.
