Here I am! Back from the silence...

Hi! Long time no see... Sorry I've been lame-sauce about keeping this up lately, it's been a bit difficult as I've had zero spare time. And, though much has happened, I'm afraid I've only got enough time to entertain you with one story... Okay!

I had a moment with a Spaniard the other day. I know, I know! That sounds odd! But, I'm so used to eyes flicking away from me (and visa-versa) when I people watch, that it was incredibly exciting to not only have someone I didn't know make eye contact with me on purpose, but hold it and understand what I was thinking! HOLLA! Hmkay, so this is what happened: I was making my way home via the metro at around 5-ish one day. Luckily, the metro was pretty much empty (a rarity during rush hour... anywhere) so I had my own little pod of seats to myself. Across the aisle and facing me was a middle-aged woman. Needless to say, at that point in the trip we were both looking at each other while still avoiding eye-contact. It's like a national sport here... anyways... the train stopped at one of the stations and then opened its doors. Soon after (they seriously give you like three seconds to enter) the train beep-beep-beep-beeped (um... it actually made that sound. no swearing. promise) and the doors started to shut. While they were closing this man power-punched his arm into the door (dude, seriously?! just wait for the next one!) and pushed them open strong-man style. He then proceeded to make his way down the aisle and when he passed in between the woman who "wasn't" looking at me, and myself (who "wasn't" looking at her), stopped and then scrunched up his face, balled his fists, began to sway his head violently from side to side, whisper-screamed "ssssschizAAAHH!" (schizer?...I don't want to know) and then continued walking. Yep... Weird. And when something of that magnitude happens, I have to share with someone (dude, it was like a freaking 4.6 on the awkward richter scale). With a wide-eyed and slightly shocked expression (appropriate in that particular situation) I slowly moved my eyes over to the woman who was sitting across the aisle from me. She met my look, and then began giggling, but trying really really hard not to laugh. I could see the strain in her eyes! Did I help her gain control? no. When I raised my eyebrows, and then whipped my head around to see where he had gone, she lost it. We giggle for a while. It was awesome. =)
The end!
Hope to hear from you soon! Please fill me in with your goings-ons!
love you!
