one time acquaintance
so last night danielle and I went to this this at OSU, and it was like this international food festival thing called "Taste of Osu". It was very good. I got indian food, french food, and russian food, and even saw one of my russian tutors at it. There was alot of dancing, and just an incredible amount of people there. Danielle and I met up with some of her friends, and we were all talking, when suddenly from across the room I recognize this girl. The girl and I met eachother when I visited Hannah at capital, as did she. I couldn't possibly forget her, because her hair was one big clump of incredibly fine, tight curls, and especially because when she would laugh, it was so high pitched that it would send shivers down my spine. As I was gazing upon her, she looked over at me and made eye contact. Excited, I waved at her. She gave me an extremely confused look. So in return, I pointed to myself, then at her, while mouthing the words "WE KNOW EACHOTHER". In hidsight I realized it probably looked like I was saying we should get together, especially if she did not know how to read lips. So she shook her head no very fast and then turned away and talked to her friends, who were now looking over at me. Great, just what I need, a bunch of college girls I don't know nor care about to think I'm so weird perv. So I call Hannah, in hopes to tell her to call the girl and explain the situation, but alas, she was not picking up the phone. Hours later, once I got home, I messaged her on facebook explaining how we know eachother. I have yet to hear back from her.

blizzard run.
low and behold, we got the 5 inches of snow and 2 inches of ice that were promised. and surprisingly, we got a snowday. I was not expecting one. When I looked out my window this morning all I saw was snow fluttering everywhere, and it looked like it had been out of a movie.
The first thing I did when I saw this was hurry out of bed, eat a banana, and get my tights and running shoes on. Running through weather like this brings satisfaction like no other. While on the run, my miles were at 10 minute pace because of the snow, but I didn't care, I was just enjoying the scenery. After 5 miles I saw Joseph and we ran together a little and talked, but then he headed home. I kept going and eventually made it to third, where I saw a lady talking on the phone on her front porch in her pajamas. Her voice was loud enough that I could hear her say: "Yeah, Bill, it's really coming dow...Bill, I need to call you back. Oh my god. Runner! RUUUUNNNNNERRRRR!!!! OH MY GOD! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?"
I didn't turn around or anything, just kept going, but I couldn't help but grin. It's little things like these that make being hardcore worth it.

impatience.
i was stalking someone online today and part of their about me had two categories, one being likes and one being dislikes. i was reading their likes and dislikes and all of them were pretty cliche, and then i came across a dislike that made me stop: impatient people.
now, i don't know this person personally, but it seemed like this was a very attractive male, who seemed to be well liked, and judging from his clothing and phone which were in many of his pictures there didn't seem like there was very much he had to be patient for.
he was about, oh 17, and i dislike people who can't wait a couple days for something they're going to get eventually either, but i wouldn't say that when i think of people i dislike, impatient ones are at the top of my list. what has this 17 year old had to wait for that has made him resent all those who cannot contain their nerves long enough to be patient?
and if let's say one person had to wait one year for something, like idk an inheritance, and another had to wait 15 years, can the first person honestly blame the second for wanting the money? Where is the line that views impatience as understandable?
i'm not quite sure if this is a fit of bitterness about some cute boy who i might be jealous of and not know it and so i'm subconciously(sp?) mad at him or if this is a fit of interest that wants to delve deeper into the mind of a teenager i know nothing about.
either way it's far past my bedtime and I can't sleep. this is most certainly a problem.
