I Know, Right?
Glenn and I have a new favorite phrase. It's actually not that new, but we encountered it on the street the other day and have been saying it to each other ever since. We were walking down 14th Street behind these three girls. Spring having sprung, the neighborhood was buzzing with people. And, spring having sprung, people were giving each other the once over all over the place. The three girls in front of us caught the eye of a guy on the corner who blurted out to his buddies, "Damn!" Actually it was more like "Daahyum." Anyway, each of the three had a different reaction. The first one sort of giggled and looked down at the ground. The one on the end sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes. (Okay, she was walking in front of me, so I can't be sure that she rolled her eyes, but I roll my own eyes enough times a day that I can sense when someone else is doing it. Other things I sense shall remain unnamed.) The one in the middle, though, just kept walking and casually said "I know, right?" It was delivered perfectly. Cocky, but not arrogant. Joking, but not like she didn't believe it either. She put it out there and kept walking. With Glenn and I in hysterics behind her. April 25, 2008
They Leave Suspicious Things in the Sink
There are days when your iPod is on shuffle and you're on the bus wishing you'd slept just another 10 minutes and the song changes and you're back in your dorm room listening to a mixtape from your ex-girlfriend whose kisses tasted like cigarettes and diet coke and you wonder where she'll be fifteen years from then, which is now, and you're not quite sure what will become of anything (then or now) but it's so much better now because you know that things have a way of working themselves out. |
