what on earth.
So to top off my strange past two weeks, last night I got punched in the chest and stomach by a decently sized middle aged man.
Ayme, Craig and I were walking down NW 21st around 11:30 I believe, when this man just stops in front of me with this angry look on his face. I said "excuse me" in a rude tone and kept walking, shoulders hitting. He screams from behind me "NEVER SAY THAT TO ME AGAIN" and starts coming after me like he's going to get in my face. I'm thinking, cool, I'm about to get annihilated for the first time in my life. So he comes up and punches me in the stomach area and to my amazement nothing happened. It was the most pathetic punch ever. So I started laughing in his face? The guy looks too pissed at this point, rears up and throws another punch to my chest. hahahha nothing. just nothing. I stood there sooo shocked for two reasons. First, that a grown man would wail on a young girl for saying excuse me, and secondly that he couldn't seem to harm me no matter how hard he tried. I just kept standing there laughing in disbelief and I look over at Ayme and Craig and their jaws were just dropped. It finally occured to everyone what the fuck was happening so Craig jumped on the guy and they fought it out a bit in the middle of the road. Then they man just ran off.
I am still so confused as to why I just stood there and why I wasn't hurt. It was REALLY unlike me to just stand there because normally my reflexes are extremely sensitive as is my danger radar. It felt like my body knew what would happen (that the man wouldn't be able to hurt me) when my head assumed what SHOULD have happened.
I am often so amused by the absurdity of life.
