Earlier, I had written that I had a ‘fan club’ of sorts. You know, people in a bus and in a restaurant/cafe who watch me as I go to work. It is a little weird when you think about it but also a little bit of a boost to my itty-bitty ego. Naturally, it sort of feels nice walking to work.
Until something happens to bring you back down to reality.
I felt really good walking to the Metro the other day. Hey, there’s the bus! And, hey!, there’s the restaurant! Look at me stroll by now!
So, I turned the corner to walk into the station, whipped out my small card case holding my SmartCard to pay my fare and I swiped it over the sensor. As I was bringing the card back to my card case it slipped out and fell to the ground behind me. Whoops! As I turned around to pick it up, the turnstiles to the Metro gate closed.
On my head.
Kathunk.
For a half second I was trapped with these things around my head as I was bending over to collect my card off the ground. I felt soooooooo special right then. THAT is when I finally felt the eyes of a crowd of people on me.
OMG. what do the gates look like? dd it hurt? that sounds so funny and retarded. whg did you do after???
I would have paid good money to see that.
…tell me the fan club saw that.
