making scenes

Apr 08, 2010 20:25

So, as you know, I'm really incompetent at making friends. Especially in Austin, Texas. Austin seems like a town where I could find lots of friends because it's full of weirdos, but it hasn't worked out like that so far. But I'm trying! Here's a dumb story about that.
There's a guy named Roberto with whom I have had a couple of classes and I think we should be friends because he's cool and rockabilly-ish and stuff. Apparently he lives at the north end of town because I accidentally followed him for about 10 miles on the freeway last week. Today in class I told him that and Krista the Estonian was like, 'Why were you following Rob? A little light stalking to start the weekend?' Heh. Funny. Later in class I expressed my excitement that the next book we are reading in on reggae, punk and death metal in Bali and after class he asked me if I had the book, which I do, so I offered to lend it to him when I'm done. Ha! I am going to buy his friendship by lending him books. We talked for a bit and I told him about the first time I dyed my hair pink and the runoff in the shower dyed my back and my butt pink which then dyed the toilet seat pink. That seems like a good story to start a friendship on. I hope we get to be friends for reals!
