Soooooo, this whole thing with this girl I thought I was seeing is a total bust. Remember before how I said about how some people are hot one minute, and cold the next? Just as I expected, she's gone cold. She's been very dodgy with me on the phone, and because of her job and college classes (which are resuming tomorrow) I probably won't see her much except the occasional Wednesday. Sigh. I'm just gonna keep moving forward and live my life.
With that being said, who wants to come over for dinner? I'm cooking!
I go to coffeeshops a lot to draw. Half of the time I go, it's to locally owned coffee shops and the other half I go to Starbucks.
Well, at Starbucks lately I've been getting a trend of people approaching me and asking me to get into their pyramid schemes. I say "no" of course and they move on. Sometimes it's annoying, sometimes I can tolerate it. Well just tonight I got one that wierded me out, and now I'm drawing the line - it's locally owned coffee shops from here on out.
This guy was with a group of people from out of town. He comes by my table to see what I'm drawing (I actually like people peering over my shoulder because it's shameless advertising for my comic), he introduces himself and sits down with me. I'm already thinking he's gonna try to get me into his pyramid scheme, and I'm just waiting for him to start asking me those "how would you like to make triple your money and work half as many hours" spiels. However I find out he's an art teacher at a Christian high school. So we chat about art and websites, blah blah blah. Then he asks me if I go to church often - NOW I'm like "Oh great. This fucker's one of those converters. Wonderful." And I tell him I don't go to church and I'm fine with that. Then he asks me "Have you ever heard somebody speak in tongues before?" and I'm like "Only in the Exorcist movies" and he chuckles and says "Yeah but that's hollywood. Actually, I can speak in tongues." and I'm like "Oooooooooookay." Now I'm creeped out. And I try to lighten the mood by saying "Why, are you possessed?" in a humorous tone and he smiles and he says "Ha ha ha, no I don't think so." So I'm no longer looking at him, I'm looking down and continuing to ink, figuring out someway to change the subject matter then all of a sudden he starts babbling in jibberish! I'm trying to ignore it to the best of my ability and not give this moron any more fuel to his fire (I should have stood up, take my ink bottle and start spraying it on him saying "THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!" or something like that) - anyhow I can't believe what I'm hearing. I'm thinking "These christian converters haven't the fuckest idea what they're doing" - anyway he eventually stops and says "There! Now you've heard someone speak in tongues that isn't posessed!" And I'm like "Uh, thank you. You've broadened my horizons" in kind of a sarcastic tone. A few minutes later he left with his friends.
Man, what the fuck is up with people today?
