before :: after

today i wore my green dress... it's a little bit low cut, but it's so much fun. and summery, yadda yadda yadda..

just proves my theory that the only people who will ever find me attractive are 40-something probably spanish men.

the guy at the gas station who always fills my tank comes over to get my $20, and says, out of nowhere, "you know -- i've always thought you were a very pretty girl." then he goes on to tell me where to take my car to get the air conditioner fixed, as i am sweating profusely and have all the windows down. i smile, thinking that it is quite convenient to have a father who is a mechanic, and thereby avoid all such sketchy garage encounters.

what i wanted to say was, "mister, if you are going to stare down my dress at my cleavage, and i am not going to be able to stop you, the least you can do is give me like an extra five bucks worth of gas for free. come on now," i didn't of course.

...

(the) cute guy in my statistics class came up and sat right next to/diagonally behind me. he kept leaning over, he's anxious, clearly doesn't want to be there... his face was about a foot from mine, he kept leaning over, making jokes, smiling. we walked out after class ended, with another kid, who soon parted ways,and then it was just the two of us.

he made a movie reference, one that i used to make all the time. i told him so, he laughed. we kept quoting other lines. then the pathway through the parking lot divided, and he turns, looks across at me, and says, "ah we've been split up--damn landscaping."

and we got to his lot, and i said, "well now we're really splitting, right?" and he said yes, he was going that way, turning left, and that my car was a whole nother block of spaces further. "as it always is," he added.

he was in his car and pulling out before i even got to mine. his window was down, he waved out of it (at me) as he passed. i had my keys and phone in my hand, and wiggled a pointer finger at him in reply.

so now, tomorrow, i have to wear the best outfit ever and smell really, really good. just, you know, because.
