The Grocery Store.
After realizing I have no food the other night, I head down there. *Swoosh* the doors open and once again I start to wander the aisles aimlessly. I don't bother making lists, though I know they would help. I just stand around, slackjawed, overwhelmed by mass consumer culture. Its the same thing that happens every time I walk into a record store.
A little time goes by, then I remember, "Yes , bread! I need bread! Bread is good!". So I amble towards the breads. In front of the bagguetes (sp?) there is this really attractive girl who seems equally overwhelmed. She looks like she has been painting all day. Covered in little off-white splotches. Our eyes meet....some sly smiles. She notices this patch on my hoodie that I made and compliments me on it. I get out a shy, "Gee, thanks." and continue through the bread aisle in my sleepwalk-like state.
5...4...3...2...1....
I suddenly snap back into reality. Holy shit smart guy!!!! There was a really attractive girl trying to talk to you and you just kept walking!!! I literally ran along the back wall looking down every aisle for her while attempting to think of a good line...("So you like rice?") but *sigh* she disappeared like a good dream in the morning. I felt like screaming and raising my puny fists towards the flourescent sky.
I am the ultimate stupid.
That ever happen to you?
