huh

i was going to my friend's recital and i had bought some flowers. i was waiting at the subway and some guy comes up to me and says "those are really pretty flowers, someone special must have given them to you". (my first thought was he was going to snatch my flowers and run off with them). so i said they were for a friend, and get a good grip on them. but then he starts talking...

"what do you do?"
"i'm an engineer...(awkward silence and he wasn't going away so i felt obligated to talk)...how about you?"
"i'm an actor, on and off"

(where is this train??)

"where did you go to school?"
"uh, MIT...and you?"
"oh wow. (somewhere in pa) for 2 years, but i didn't finish..."

(train comes and cuts him off...but then i realize he's still talking...)

"when did you graduate?"
"2002"
"oh, you don't look that old...i'm 23"

(i kinda wish he had just run off with my flowers...)

and then he pulls out his phone and says something about coffee and i realized he wanted my number or something. now i'm just trying to scramble for a good excuse - never thought i'd have to have one of those up my sleeve.

is this what happens when i stop wearing sneakers?
