Boys and Books!

And interesting title, I know, but today was a bit of an interesting day

Today, I decided I was going to hit the Serbian extra hard after my workout, but I like to be able to flip through pages and do stuff other than stare at computer screens. So, I went to the library to find out if I could order some Serbian resources... And it turned out there was one! Already there! In the Princeton library. Princeton; Population: 956; 99.98% Caucasian; .02% other!

I thought that would be the strangest thing, so I did a bit of reading, and discovered a new Japanese group I like a lot. (SuG, you should look at them, they're so colorful!) and I got in a conversation with the librarian. We were talking about languages and stuff, and I hadn't notice that this guy had walked in and was quite intrigued by me, I suppose.

Anyway, the guy kept talking to me and eventually asked me if I wanted to walk around town with him. Awkwardly, and not wanting to reject the guy in front of 5 or 6 other people, I said yes. And so I spent two hours walking around with a boy named Justin who was quite obviously hitting on me, who was, in return, quite obviously not interested.

Turns out he was 17, a highschool drop out, living with a strange old man in our town, smokes and drinks. I was a little shocked, so I doubt we'll be meeting again any time soon, but he was actually pretty nice! I know I shouldn't judge a book by its cover or anything, but I want to avoid those sorts of lifestyles for a long time.

I posted a nervous tweet midway our hanging out session, and it was funny some of the replies I got! Alex, (the Swedish boy I mentioned before) said as follows;



It really made me laugh a lot, so I thanked him for the concern. But, the night ended without incident, and needless to say, I don't think I'll be spending anymore afternoons with Mr. Justin.

So, between boys and books, I think I enjoyed the book more! ㅋㅋㅋ

And now, I am off to prepare nine pages worth of flash cards for testing in the Anki program!

  1. I've noticed that a lot of odd people hang around Princeton... but then again there are odd people out in the Walcott-ish area too... One time my older sister, who had some of the fastest track times in Iowa back in the 80s, and I were jogging on the gravel road when an old farmer pulled up and asked us if we needed a lift. He just could not seem to understand why we were jogging about the countryside.
