A first.....

Last night something happened that has never happened before. Now as some of you know, I work the graveyard shift at a gas station. What some may also know is that my brain shuts off at that point and the concept of shyness flies right out the window when dealing with the opposite sex, as opposed to the rest of the day. Now if a cute girl comes in I can usually think of something to say to get her interested in me, if not atleast think I'm funny in a weird way. But last night a girl came in and I was at a complete loss as to what I could do. Not one thought in my head other then ".....wow." She's was VERY attractive. She was certainly one of the nicest customers I have had. And she was utterly and completely deaf.

Now through my life I have made an interest in learning pick up lines, often crude, in a multitude of languages. And while I do have one in ASL, just in case, my mind shut off that section of the brain for this girl. I couldn't even be crass! Now sadly with the way I talk it makes it hard for the hearing impared to read my lips. Luckily since she was just buy things behind from behind the counter and not discussing politics with me there was little lip reading and much guessing on my part as to what she wanted. Luckily my skills at pantomime nothing to laugh at and I was able to get her what she wanted without delay. All the while my brain going "Something! Think! Of! SOMETHING!". But I couldn't. No way I could ask a girl out, maybe by getting her e-mail address since I can't call her, and go on a date where she acts out everything and I talk really slow and exagerated like she's a child. While I would like to see her again (doubtful as I never saw her before) it seems like any avenue would be bad. Maybe I'm thinking too much about all of this. Too much about her. Maybe I need to start learning sign.
