Weirdness x 2
So, I think I've officially had the weirdest past hour and 1/2 ever...
First, I'm throwing away the outer packageing for my birth control in the dorm hallway trashcan... as I walk back, I'm reading the inner stuff, just making sure I got the right perscription and some dude and his girlfriend stop me in the hallway. The guy looks at me, looks at the birth control and says "What is that for?" My first reaction: fat joke. So the defenses go up, and I say "Birth control. Stops me from having babies with a potential douchebag." I looked at the girlfriend and said "I'd have to reccomend you try it." with one of those awesome sidelong glances at the guy. Got my point across, she smirked. The guy looks at me and goes "What the hell kind of women are you?".... Okay, now I'm confused... This 19 year old (assumably) boy looks me straight in the eye and says "I can't believe you're actually trying to prevent pregancy. Don't you realize that's what women were created for?" With the most serious face I've ever seen in my life. I didn't even know what to say. Was it a misogynistic slam... or is this guy really just dense? Normally, I'd assume the former... but the look on that kids face just... shocked me. It doesn't happen that often that I'm rendered speechless... but goddamnit I was. I really feel bad for that girlfriend...
Second odd moment... I'm sitting here watching re-runs of Degrassi and South of Nowhere (<3<3<3) and I go to check my AIM messages... I've got one... from an ex that I haven't talked to in about a year and 1/2... that says 'Know you never wanted to hear from my again, but I just wanted to let you know that you were right. (girl that kinda contributed to our break up) and I were living together for 9 months and she cheated on me."
The whole thing was just odd. Because first there was that initial "Seeing-his-screen-name-on-my-message-catcher-after-almost-2-years" swoosh in the stomach thing... Which creeped me out a bit, because I'm over him, completely, but at the same time, theres still that little ::thing:: in the back of my mind (heart?), seeing as how he was my first and only real serious relationship... beh. Weird.
Then after that initial shock, I had to laugh. It just goes to show the boy hasn't changed a bit. He always needed the last word, and he got it. It took a year and 1/2, but he got it. Makes me chuckle. I almost wish he'd unblock me again. I'd kinda like to see if we could carry on a conversation without fighting, now that we've been broken up, and presumably both gotten over all the drama.
So, yeah, odd fucking night. The only thing that would top it off perfectly would be someone jumping in my room and singing 'Peanut Butter Jelly Time', complete with Banana costume. I think that would make the night perfect <3
