The Green Dress

15 degrees and sunny - great, I can wear a dress without nylons! Walk out the door leaving a few minutes early to ensure a leisurely walk to work. All is as per usual on a typical Wednesday morning, the usual people who seemingly have nothing urgent in life, the loud phone-talkers, the "I slept-in!" crowd, and the casual walkers. While enjoying the few spare moments of freedom before either embarking on a meaningless job, I realize I am one main intersection away. Enjoying my pineapple-apple gum, I blow a bubble while crossing the street with my hands in my pockets. A car with a trailer is in my way so following suit, I place one foot in front of another straddling the trailer hitch. Just as I'm about to move my other foot over the hitch, I am yanked by a stranger who has saved me from being hit by the reckless driver who wishes to hit law-abiding pedestrians with his in-the-way and middle-of-the-intersection trailer hitch! CLOSE CALL.

Lunch rolls around and I look forward to reading my nerdy book which gives a brief introduction to main concepts and theories of Physics. I am interrupted by a creepy yet normal middle-aged man asking, "A pretty girl like you, can't be reading that for fun?". Now, I am not a feminist, but what was he expecting, Barbie fairy-tales with pop-up pictures and scratch 'n' sniff? Thankfully, less than a minute later, an older and very lovely woman says 'what a pretty dress on such a pretty girl'. What a lovely thing to say! I was pleased then immediately after creeped out by creepy mcgie who proceeded to show me clips on his phone and homemade videos of his 'pilot skills'. I had to get out of there and fast!

Since wierd things come in three, I am going to stay locked up for the remainder of the night and hope for the best.
