Maaaaaan...
Made a complete ass out of myself today in acting class.
See, we did this little game where someone has to leave the room, the rest of us pick someone in the room, and then the person who left has to figure out who we picked by asking questions to the class. The questions had to be abstract, like "if this person were a color, which color would that person be?" A couple people would answer based on their knowledge of the person's personality. Stupid shit.
We only did it twice. Both times the mystery selection was one of the constantly-upbeat-to-the-point-of-deserving-a-kick-in-the-face kids. So you can imagine what kind of answers the class gave. The person asking the questions got two tries to figure out who it was. And, strangely, BOTH times I was the first guess given.
Stranger still, the second guesses were always right. Go figure.
Even though I sit in the back, never talk to anyone, constantly scowl at anyone who even approaches me, have sent nothing but bad mojo towards these people, THEY STILL THINK THAT IF I WERE A FOOD I WOULD BE CAKE.
Idiots.
If I were a food, I'd totally be Hot Pockets.
Anyway, that wasn't how I made an ass out of myself.
After the game, we went around the room and had to say what abstract concept best describes us.
My first answer was Johnny Cash.
But apparently that wasn't abstract enough. So they skipped me until later. In that time I came up with turtle. But another guy who had been skipped because he couldn't think of anything said turtle before I could.
So I said gray. When asked why I said that... and I'm not making this stupid shit up, I actually said, word for fucking word...
"It's neither black nor white, yet both at the same time."
Yeah. That's reeeeaaaal deep there, Fodd.
Immediately after I started saying "same" I realized how stupid I sounded. But by then it was too late.
The girl sitting in front of me gave me one of those looks that combine with 
.
Which really sucks, 'cause she's one of the few girls in the class that I'm into.
Well... on the bright side, at least the other two girls I dig weren't there...
Side note: There's several dozen fires raging in the hills around my house right now. And I'm not overexaggerating, either. It would take me five minutes to drive over to one. And yet I'm completely unconcerned about them.
The smoke completely covers the sky. COMPLETELY. It causes the sunlight to be diluted into this amazing reddish-orangish hue (don't ask me how). So it's like having an incredibly gorgeous sunset for several hours.
I've never looked around anywhere and said to myself, "Wow. This is beautiful." Nature's splendor is always lost on me. But today I did. The scenery gave me pause to smile.
People's houses are burning down. My own is in danger of doing so.
And I think to myself, "What a wonderful world."
