Okay.

So yeah. I was slowly starting to pack things up, when I realized.. I'm hungry. So I grab my pants, and head to the cafeteria. I go alone when I don't have plans, and I stay alone when I don't run into anyone I know. No big deal.

So I get my food (some weird seafood pasta, an open faced turkey sandwich, and some funky mashed potatoes, in case you were wondering), and I sit down. I sat at a table, all by myself. There were other empty tables, so I felt secure in my alone-ness.

But apparently I shouldn't have.

A couple of minutes later, someone puts a tray down right across from me. I look up, thinking it's obviously someone that knows me. I look into the eyes of this woman I've never seen before, not in all my days on this Earth. She says, "Hi, whats your name?". I was caught off guard, so I answered her. Taking that information, she continued, "Hi Tom, I'm Lauren, you want to eat dinner together?". I almost said no, but I thought that'd be rude.

Instead, I said sure.. In a very half arsed, go away kind of manner. Lauren didn't take the hint.

She smiles very happily, and sits down. Then she doesn't shut up. I was asked a multitude of extremely random questions. "Whats your favorite fruit?"... "Did you know goldfish only have a memory span of 20 seconds?"... I was very weirded out. I tried to eat quickly, without seeming to speed up. Then I made my escape, but not before she'd weaseled out of me my room number. I suppose I can only pray that I never see her again.

......

In a completely unrelated matter...

Have you ever noticed a group of black men singing? I have. It isn't a very pleasant sight when none of them have a singing voice.

I guess that's all for me.. I'm going to get some breakfast, and then start working.

Wow, Burns. I feel so bad for you, having to go through such a difficult and awkward experience.

I mean, some random woman wants to bang you. God, how that must suck...

You're right. I don't.
