Weekend sightings.
I used to work part-time in a comic book store in my early college days so I got to deal with tons of geeks. Many were cool and interesting, but most of them were sad, lonely individuals trying to be our friends.
So now, whenever I go into a geeky store and see those loners caught in a lenghty one-sided discussion with a poor clerks, I feel bad for the clerk...
And yet... I realize that a good chunk of my friends in Quebec city happen to be store clerks, that I talked to one day and thought I was interesting enough to eventually hang out with me. Am I the same kind of lonely geek as the ones I was talking about earlier? I like to think I'm not. Heck, these clerks wouldn't befriend me if I was. They'd make fun of me behind my back with the other clerks...
...Maybe they do!! I know Johann does. HAHA.
Seriously though... I've seen this go on for a while, but I didn't witness the opposite before today when a geeky clerk started to talk to me and wouldn't let me leave his damn store when he saw I was into the same things as he was. Thank got he was the clerk and I wasn't. I was able to leave after saying I would be late for work. That guy definately wanted to add himself to my friend list. He even went as far as ask if he could come to Anime North with us next year.
Arg.
Well, maybe he's a nice guy. But he sure scared me.
Here's another round of pictures! =D
And now, for someting completely different. Midgets wrapped in bed sheets.
I went back to my quiet little river spot in my hometown this weekend.
Seems like I'm not the only person that goes there...
I love this place. I nicknamed it the Dandelion Meadow. It's fun how the dandelions in the shade are all yellow while the ones under the sun are completely white.
The many marvels of nature.
This had to be done. I hadn't washed my car in months, Actually, I think the last time I did was it was last summer. Oh my.
