Awesome things happen sometimes that just make you feel good about yourself and life in general...tonight was one of those nights.
Practice ended at 7:30 for IC tonight. Dot and I are hungry and when trying to decide where to go we settle on Taco Bell since there does happen to be one close by. We go and enjoy our tasty mini nachos and food items. We prepare to leave, we go out to my car and I dump out an old Jack cup of tea and leave the cup sitting there ( I know dick move on my part to Mother Nature I'm sorry) I climb in my car and there is a guy standing by my window, I think he is going to say something about the cup I left. Turns out he was deaf and tring to find a ride. I told him that I signed...his face lit up like christmas, he was so excited that i could understand him. He asked if I would give him a ride home. I said sure ( My mom has already scolded me for giving rides to strangers in parking lots but he wasn't a big guy and he was in the back seat of my explorer and he was just so in need...plus dot would have fucked him up if he would have tried anthing.) I clear out the back seat and we go to get in when he sees the Roller Derby written on my back window. He asks if I play. I tell him yes me and my friend do. He asks what team I show him Dots team hoodie. Turns out he has seen derby and knows the team and even recognises Dot and me...way cool. He is super nice and I take him home and he gives me 5$ (which I tried several times to refuse) when we get to his place I let him out and he tells me thank you like 5 times and i tell him your welcome, no big deal and then he unzips the jacket he has been wearing and he is wearing a red shirt with a big yellow star on it.
In a line of coincidences tha lead up to us being at that Taco Bell at that time when that particual man would have needed my help, he also turned out to be a Commie loving new IC fan...who woulda guessed.
Over all I feel great for helping this guy out and I think my good karma meter is back on full, and I feel good about getting to use my sign ability to help someone that needed it out of the blue. It makes me feel like I chose right staying with ASL, it felt great to help that guy. The look on his face made my whole night and will probably make my day tomorrow too.
