A Scene From Today
Chemistry class:
Ian, in the desk next to mine, turns to me and says: "So. What's up with the jacket?" (people who know me also know that i like to wear buisiness-woman-like suit jackets upon occasion. I was wearing my black and white houndstooth-patterned one today.) A discussion ensued after this initial remark. He kept asking me why i wore suit jackets. I kept telling him, because they are made out of fabric and fabric keeps you warm when it's chilly. He asks me where i got it. I tell him Jan's mom gave it to me. He asks where she got it, to my amusement, and i tell him "Probably at a store where there are OTHER things made out of fabric just like this!" (lol) Then five (mostly female) voices from various desks around the room piped in with comments like "Ian..shut up, she's just the way she is and there's nothing you can do about it" and "Everybody's different, Ian". It was quite touching. I wasn't even all that offended by Ian's questions.
Then Mr. Hannas begins to teach. Mid-sentence, he catches sight of me and starts to crack up. Literally, the man cannot speak. I did not realize at first that this was due to my pink and black striped pantyhose, and black boots with matching pink laces. The class laughed at my reaction, which was looking behind me to see if there was something catatrophically hilarious occuring behind my back. Then i realized what he was laughing at, and giggles as well. "good to know i put some ZING into your morning, Mr. Hannas," i said. To which his reply was "Ah...God bless you, Larsye. You certainly did." Things in the class calmed down after i exclaimed, "I've been blessed! Muah!" and the laughter which followed.
I AM SO SPECIAL hahahaha
