Ecuador One: Ecuador/Finals/The Exact Placement of the Sun, Moons and Stars

Mar 21, 2005 13:06

Hey Im in Ecuador. It´s cool but I am so confused by this situation. They hate Americans and I hate the other Americans I see too. There is no magic here at all. Yesterday my wallet was stolen. We were on this huge busy street, and I was holding my backpack´s front pocket with my hand, and only had it on one shoulder, to keep my wallet safe. Well, to get me to let go of that some unknown assailant spit on my arm, and I couldn´t tell what it was at first because the street was so packed, but then I knew it was spit. And as I was going "¿what the fuck is this...?" with my arm, I wasn´t holding on to the pocket. And then as soon as we got to the end of the street I realized the pocket was open and the wallet was gone. I guess I should be glad they didnt take my passport, which was also in that pocket, just in the little back slot within it, but I lost 70 dollars in cash, 100 dollars in traveler´s cheques (canceled), my credit card (canceled), my debit card (canceled and luckily nothing had been taken out of my account), my uw card, my license, my pochi frequent sippers card (irreplaceable). We canceled everything pretty quickly but it was a shitty shitty day. Luckily I had taken out the claim slips for the travellers cheques right before we went. And I also really loved that wallet, I got in tokyo.

And of course knowing all this presumes that I have finished my finals. I was truly sad to let some of the classes end. Mairi I can barely fathom leaving. She has so enchanted me, unknowingly, and I know she likes me too, and I keep thinking oh my god can she REALLY like me? Im such a hack and she is so genuinely cool. Ive never seen someone so cool in my life. There is nothing artificial about her image. I would have to write a book about this for anyone to ever understand this person.

In the presentations for that class, which Mairi is not a part of because she just runs our lab, there is a girl in the back that presented that I liked but we never really spoke; her name is Genevieve. She spoke about how one of her characters was designed to be like that boy who sits in the back and keeps to himself, and is intriguing, and thats what I did and the character looked like me. Im that boy, she thinks Im intriguing--so the trick is not talk, I get it now. Plus I have this theory that drama and asian girls have no gaydar since they deal with ¨effeminate heterosexuals¨ on a regular basis. This is of course assuming that it was meant to be me, but I personally like to think it was, and she was looking at me as she said it. In classes am I usually quite different, at first I dont talk to anyone but I am good as being confident alone. Then it evolves into whichever way I find most attractive--a couple well placed jokes in class, (but never overstaying my welcome) and I find it presents a nice way to introduce myself to potential friends without boring chit chat. I really liked the people in that class. Especially this girl Sarah who showed my Salad Fingers, and is also an english and drama major too. Because the just drama majors can quickly drive me insane. I also liked this girl Melanie, who is really into fashion and making her own clothes. She alters everything she buys. Its SO hard to transfer these friends into real life though, especially without making it feel like Im asking them out on a date or something. Im really bad at that. At the end of the presentations, this one girl I had never spoken to before, but looked sort of like a mormon, came up to me and asked when my birthday was. I said why do you want to know. She then went to guess successfully that I was a water sign, because I am so ¨intense¨ although it took her three tries to guess WHICH water sign (she was suprised that I was a cancer because she don´t seem lazy. She is wrong) Now I am not into all this stuff just to clarify, but she went on to guess some good stuff. She guessed that I had a fire sign in my ascendency-something of the sun, and most probably a virgo or pisces and so she wanted to know WHERE I was born, and at what time. And then we had this medium long talk about it, 930 at night, someone Ive never spoken to, and she guessed all these things about which stars were in place when I was born, and that if I wanted to know anymore stuff I should go look it up at astro.com. And all her stuff was right about, about the virgo in the sun-something and everything, it was totally weird.

thats the site. Theres a huge huge profile one but who else but me would want to read it, so that one is the little summary page. Some of the things I disagree with of course. WHAT is the deal with zodiac?? How did that girl guess all that stuff?? I didnt tell her my birthday until she guessed all the water sign and virgo fire signs suns and moons stuff. HOW??
