a heart with a twist of lemon

i had my first experience at the new guthrie tonight. eating some fancy hors d’oeuvres and watching over an hour of advertisements. the food was so fancy, that i didn't really like it. i would prefer chicken fries from BK. i'm high class like that. the advertisements were the award winning variety, so it was more like watching art rather than stupid commercials.

after the show, i said goodbyes and waited for my bus. it was dark and starting to get chilly. there was this girl at my stop. she was cute. but i could tell she was getting cold. she was wearing a light trendy cowboy shirt, jeans and some flip-flops. i had a sweater in my bag, so in my mind i imagined offering it up to her while she waits for the bus. true gentlemen style. but then the other half of my mind told me that it was dark, so i didnt want to creep out this girl. there are a lot of shady characters at night.

but then she sat down next to me and started up a conversation. i must not have looked so shady. our conversation went on for a good 5 minutes before her bus came. she told me she was going to school for advertising. i told her that i work at an ad agency. but then i felt like i was bragging, so i said that i just started. at that point my mind threw me in different directions once again. at first i was about to pull out one of my business cards to give her. again true gentlemen style, cause i like to help people all i can, and cause she was cute. but then the other half of my mind was unsure of business card etiquite. do you give them to random people at bus stops in the cool of night? so both the sweater and my card stayed tucked inside my bag. because i am shyly outgoing.

and so it ended with a goodnight. and it was a good night.
