Never ceases to surprise me
Last night at EYC there was a new girl who wanted to destroy me with her wit. Which was just funny cause thats what I always used to do to my teachers, so I didnt really care that she was attempting it with me and thought it was way humorous.
"Why do you come here?" she said "Do you get satisfaction out of this?" Her voice was all razors and dont fuck with me bitch, I'm so hard.
I raised an eyebrow at her and smiled trying not to laugh "Do you get satisfaction out of this?" I said
You could feel the tense anticipation of every girl in the room as they leaned forward and watched what I would do waiting for a hint of weakness...you could hear them thinking 'Do we still like her? Is she going to choke? Why is she here anyway?'
The new girl said "I dont know...I mean...I dont care whether you're here or not..." she waited for me to say something and I just listened so she continued "I just think that it's so do-gooder, you know, its, like, cliche".
"Can you define cliche?" I said. And she couldn't, so I won her respect. How weird is that?
Then she made a zine about Bush and her feelings/opinions about his policies which was actually really informed and smart. Apparently her grandfather is part of the Grey Panthers (an activist group for old folks). I told her it was cool that she was so informed at such a young age, but that its also important to research issues and have your own opinions, which I think caught her a little off guard because I'm 97% sure that most of what she was saying was recycled Boulderite dogma. It was really nice to see a kiddo aware of what was going on in the world though and have some passion and spunk and fight.
Also occured to me today that my black jacket makes me feel like Han Solo...I always wanted to be Han Solo. Sooooo SWEET!
EDIT: It also occurs to me that God does hate fags. For example, sometimes at work I feel like he is in collusion with my 'collegues' while I listen to the conversations going on. Are people really this stupid. Somehow I feel it is not possible that people are THIS stupid. They must be just joking right? Is this some colossal joke being played on me that everyone is in on, where I'm actually the dumb one thinking that everyone else is is dumb? I'm so confused.
