rusted pipes

i was thinking about something somebody said to me a couple weeks back. i was waiting on my car to get new tires at walmart and i went to the walmart mcdonald's, yes it has a mcdonalds inside it. in case one biggest corporation in america in one building wasn't enough, we have to combine them. and i love it! bring on the fries and $5 dvd's! what could be a better combo than that. yes if you couldn't tell i have mixed feeling about this merger. so anyways, Some guy standing next to me as i'm suggaring up my coffee points to it and says "that that stuff will rust your pipes" i was about to yell after him that it was decaf but he jetted outta there faster than um something really fast. or maybe he was talking about the sugar, who knows. he didn't stick around long enough for me to find out. maybe he though by leaving so abruptly after offering such a statement to a stranger would have more impact. i guess he thought he did his good deed for the day warning me about the evil that is coffee. it made me laugh though, i kinda wish more people would say random things like that to me while i'm making my coffee. i could have like a designated coffee comment maker.

i went salsa dancing for the first time last night. i have to say it very fun. it was nice having guys come up to you asking you to dance in a nonbooty dance way. the place was a nice departure from the usual skanky club which is all i thought that tallahassee has to offer, but this place, atlantis, wasn't filled with smoke and i felt pretty comfortable there. i didn't have to shout to talk to people either which was nice. we showed up around 9:30 and we thought we were too late for the salsa lesson but we didn't miss much. althoug i think the actual dance we learned that night was something other than salsa, i don't remember the name of it. anyway i thought i had it down pat. i thought all those dance lessons at 5 really paid off. sort of. the first guy i danced with was realy nice and patient. dancing by myself is one thing but with a partner is a whole different story. i'm not good at following a lead. its so much harder to coordiante with someone else when you're barely cooridinated by yourself. i could tell this kyle guy was getting a little annoyed with me but he kept smiling despite my inability to coordinate. i was surprised though, he asked me to dance again that night. i also danced with someone who had no skills whatsoever and that was fun. there were four of us that went and exactly four guys came up to us after the lesson which just happened to match our group of four and decided to buy us all drinks. they say they all knew each other but i really wonder if they all just huddled together before coming up to us and decided that they would all pretend they knew each other so they could match us in numbers. they were all nice enough, one of them ended up being the brother of one of the girls in the art therapy program! weird. 2 of them were from india and want to play doubles with me and amity now since we told them we play tennis. they said they like to play just about every sport here because they didn't get to play sports much in india.A.J said that it would cost like $25 just to play tennis there. ouch. the other guy vince was really really really drunk but tried to hide it by trying to act like he was sincerely interested about why i went into art therapy....as we were leaving and in the middle of getting one of our new friends to take our picture, this really short peruvian guy came right up to us while we were posing asking us to dance. we told him nicely we were in the middle of a picture but that did not stop him. he kept tapping on amity and mindy's arm asking them to dance and finally one of the guys, vince, taking our picture told him to come stand by him and he started pretending like he was dancing with him. the peruvian guy was so drunk that he went along with it and they were dancing together while vince was taking our pictures with 3 different cameras. he could juggle pretty good. it was one of the funniest things i have ever seen. he got in a picture with us too which i would post but i still have to figure out how to do that on here.

now i think i'm going to go start reading my new book i got on sale at borders, yes borders molly! not that you're that excited about working there but i found a copy of johnny cash's autobiography for like $7! i was and am still psyched about that.
