Aside from the advice from the random old man that I shared previously in the email, I have been hit on by one man who came up to me while shelving and proceeded to talk to me for an hour. Since we were having a "deep conversation" according to mr. man, he could tell I was extremely smart and he was very attracted to me for my brain, not "all of that" (gesturing up and down to my body). He then told me I have a "fat butt." I ignored this.
He also expressed concern that in relationships, I was settling and dating men just for the sex. Had he and I discussed my past relationships? Nope, but this was obviously a fact he simply knew to be true. However, he, an intelligent, very confident male, would be a catch. Perhaps I wanted to email him every once in a while to tell him how it's going? No, but thank you for the offer.
Apart from this, the library was pretty excellent- all of the librarians were very funny. When men outside the library were knocking on the door before the library opened, the oldest librarian (imagine grandmother-aged) started yelling at them, "We are closed! READ-THE-SIGN. We are closed! The sign, dummy! The. Sign! You have to wait! Are you stupid?! We open in 30 minutes, dummy!"...so entertaining.
Now that I finished my service, I have been cooking and teaching my mom to throw a flick (Let's do it Conny!). I'm probably heading to New York on Sunday to be a nanny/babysitter/mother's helper for a month. Who's there?
Missing yall like crazy, and slowly melting in this heat.

I'm not sure how nobody has commented on this, but daamn Tian, you got to learn how to throw books as well as you do frisbees so you can show this man a piece of your mind!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's ok, people tell me I have a fat butt all the time too. I think it's because I ate too much pap in South Africa. I love tasteless mushy carbs. MMmm.
EBELINA! where the FUCK in the world are you?! I met a kid from Poland the other day and I attempted to pronounce your last name, cheddarchetzki, slutzki or whatever sound I could manage to say that day but I remembered how fucking cool the Polish people are and how much I miss you. I know you posted something on my facebook the other day but I left that cyberthing a while ago so yeah, I miss you, blah blah blah. (give me a sec and I'll correspond back to you!) But as for the rest of Sparkle, I know I am not the most active member or participant, but I miss ya'll a lot! I spent a month with a kid from College of Charleston who went to Georgia and of course, as a true Ultimate player, brought his Frisbee and we played a couple of times. We bonded over this sport, and moreover, as I told him, over this 'lifestyle', because frisbee is a lifestyle...He turned out to be one of the coolest Southerners I ever met. I tried to explain to him our team's particular colors and he said he couldn't believe he missed such a sight. I think he said he played Army or Bubba but I don't recall properly.. Pequeño mundo? o no? Funny how it takes a couple of years and flights to make you realize how tiny our planet is... Met more ultimate lovers few days ago and tossed in this meadow around sunset (10 AM for those up north enjoying the longest days of the year!) . One of them pulled out a boomerang and throwing it made me feel like if I ever have the chance I should go to Australia or well, I could just turn on a N64 and play Zelda.. Anyways, MISS YALL a lot and hope everyone's summer is phenomenally rocking!
