I just had lovely cup of coffee with
itsjen33, only I wish she'd have stayed a few more minutes because she missed the following:
-About a minute after she left, a group of men dressed all in black with headbands, all carrying a different piece of large, round fruit (a cantaloupe, a grapefruit, etc.), came storming in, very serious and militant. It was frightening.
-I had to listen to a very loud man impart some political wisdom. For some reason 1 person talking loudly is more distracting than a hundred people talking with music playing in the background. He was lecturing on terrorism, and how the US needs to always be afraid because even our allies hate us. Then he gave a lecture on gay marriage where he noted that if you're straight, it doesn't impact you and, if you're gay, you should just be able to get married. For the first time, the girl he was with spoke up: "But I'm afraid that people will get married and, you know, not even be a couple, but just do it for financial benefits. So how do you prevent that?" He seemed to think this was a decent objection, since of course men and women can't "not even be a couple" and get married and since, of course, it is immoral to receive joint financial benefits with another person if you aren't fucking that person.
Perhaps now I can return to do work and the fruit militia/lecturing man (probably a political science major) will be gone. I also need to buy some Dentyne Ice.
