intimidation tactics.

So my alternative breaks trip to Ohio (we are going to work with homeless people over spring break) had a bake sale tonight to raise money. I didn't have time//feel like baking anything myself, so I had Erica pick me up a cake when she went to Trader Joe's, since everything they produce is reasonably-priced gold. I had a Best Buddies meeting in the same building during part of it, but our bake sale was in the lobby, so I was able to get a bunch of people from BB to buy things... I think I intimidated them a little bit with my officer position and big words. Who knows.

Speaking of intimidating (and perhaps the point of what I was going to write about), while we were in the lobby bake-sale-ing, Tumnus and his friend come in. I call him Tumnus because I think he looks like Mister Tumnus from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. If you haven't seen the movie version, he's played by James McAvoy and is basically a small goat-man. I mean, don't get me wrong, I thought the guy was cute and really liked him at the time. A comparison to James McAvoy is never a negative in my book, no matter what.  We say hi, what's up, all that. I haven't really talked to this kid in months, since spring semester LAST year when we had two classes together and used to flirt via text message. But when it came around to hanging out in person, which we did one time do, it turned out that he just wasn't that into me. He basically told me I intimidated him. I wasn't crushed... which is rare for me, so that's why I remember. I say something silly like, "Hey want to help the homeless? This is an option you currently have." And he's like, "YEAH!" And I'm like, oh cool. It was a donation-based bake sale, so mostly people gave us like a dollar and walked away with like, a brownie bite or two, no big. My cake was like the big seller. Anyway, so this kid goes over... at this point on the table we mostly have donuts, and I was doing my selling-thing and was like, We have some great breakfast fodder at this trough and he was like, I love breakfast and I was like, Perfect. Anyway we had one tiny baggie of three mini cookies and he took that and put 5 bucks on the table. 

Why I thought it was weird at the time, I don't know. But I got a text from him like an hour ago, after I have gone to bed, and months after I have deleted his number, saying, "Well it certainly was a pleasure to see you today."

WHAT THE FUCK.

TK's take on this: "Your life amuses me."

Thanks Tim.
