Note: I am aware that this looks God awful in IE. Do yourself a favor and get you some Firefox before you get lost in the big scary world out there.

WhudafxupLOL
I got hit on while waiting for a bus by a guy who would have been cute if he had had some confidence. Granted, he did strike up conversation with me out of nowhere, but I've had some less than pleasant experiences with guys who do that, who go right for the A/S/L rather than, you know, just regular small talk. These are the only types I seem to attract (which, since the incident, has got me thinking a lot about what exactly about me gives awkward boys the wild idea that hey, that girl? I bet she would like to know everything about you, especially the part about your dream to sing a capella).
I safely dodged the question of my name by interrupting him with, "Wow this bus is taking forever," which left no more room for any conversation. The end. This is as far as we go.
He lifted his cigarette. "People always tell me I need to quit."
I nodded. "You should. They're not good for you."
"Yeah, my family isn't happy about it. My sister is always saying I should quit. I'm visiting her tonight."
"Oh, that's nice of you."
"Yeah... she's at Tufts."
"Good school."
"Yeah... I'm only going to do this for a few months though," he said, holding his hand out again.
"Really."
"Yeah."
"You really think you're only going to smoke for a few months."
"Yeah?"
"You're really going to just beat the system and count on not getting addicted?"
He looked at me suspiciously. "Are... are you pre-med or something?"
Yes, I am enrolled in the most difficult program at this fine institution, doing very important research at the expense of very substantial amounts of money, all for a concept that could have been explained by this toolbag.
