Jan. 17, 2006 - Hm... Curious...

"Cute" is usually a word that isn't refered to me unless it's referring to my height and/or some shirt I'm wearing... and more unfortunate is that it's never a guy who says it...

So, of course I'd be surprised when I guy comes out and tells me I'm cute right out of the blue...

It was lunch, and I was looking cruddy in my ROTC unifrom (as always)... It was extremely cold (Hey! Don't diss Louisiana's coldness until you've experienced it for yourself. We have people from Alaska complaining about the weather here, cold or not!) Anyway, the wind added more to the "happiness" of the weather, and all the group formed a circle, hoping to guard us from winter's cruel sense of humor.

Well, this guy (we shall call him "Joe"... ) came over to talk to us as usual. I had a strange feeling he had most of his attention toward me everytime he came over, though... Go figure why...

Now, "Joe" is awesome. Why, you ask? Because he's probably the only guy I'm going to meet in my life who sees the school Beauty Pageant as nothing but a contest full of whores, and a place that you're only allowed to say what the PEOPLE want you to say, and not what YOU want to say. He also has a good sense of humor, and interesting points of views.

So, anyway, this guy named Gary came over (Gary's a pimp... straight up.). Gary is very good friends with pratically everybody. So, when he came over, he asked for a hug from everyone (or the girls, at least). So, because he's a pimp, of course you have to give him a hug, right?

Well, I don't know, but Joe didn't seem to like Gary all that much... They are both very friendly people, but Joe just didn't want to talk to Gary.

Well, anyway, it got colder, and the wind was blowing harder. I could hardly here anything, but I was freezing, and I mentioned it... and then something else was said, but what it was is beyond my memory capacity... But then it got Joe saying something toward me:

"You're really cute."

Well, the wind was blowing pretty hard, so I figured I misheard, so I didn't say anything. But then Joe said:

"Did you here what I said...?"

I said "no". So he repeated himself:

"I said you're really cute."

Well, that of course made me a little flustered, so I just looked down, smiled and said "Thanks."

Hm... curious...
