Le lundi passé

Tra-la-la...one week until the vote.

I am all ready with my Obama t-shirt and matching enthusiasm, er, i mean, Biden pants. lol. Ah, Joe, don't worry, i get you! Hmm...there might be a long line at the poll, and i did toy with the idea of an absentee ballot, but nay, for him i shall brave the line!

O-bama, O-bama, O-bama!!!

I wonder if i can influence my students. I will try tomorrow.

Some KKK members were plotting to assasinate the magnanimous lion. Indeed i anticipated that those small-minded folks (ah and likely with that matching small other body-part, lol, ahem, per Freud) might try to be stupid. Come on, don't be so predictable! Do something more radical, like, get a job maybe!!! Christ!

Ah, that reminds me of the lone boy in my french class, in a good way. Yesterday he came and sat next to me, i dunno why. The class was empty and there were 30 other chairs. Wait! Or maybe that's why! Boy, am i slow or what! Anyway, he strikes up a conversation of this and that (he's got one of those sweet-ass European accents and by now i know he writes poetry) and i am not asocial so i partake in the convo. Prof comes in after 10 min and class starts. During our customary chats we find out he is actually an engineering major. Say what! Score! By that i mean i dig such contradictions.

I was thinking how i was envious of his little English-French dictionary (primarily because i won't be able to read it, lol) when he asks me if i like chocolate and gives me four smarties, all green. Followed by an exclamation, "wow, you got all my greens!" (um, he is 21, so it's understandable) I ask him if he wants them back, but he says it's ok. I accept this reluctantly as i know that's probably all he has to eat between the three back-to-back classes (all literature and language!) he takes on mondays. I get up to get rid of my chewing gum, and secretly offer some green smarties to the other girl. She smiles and says no.

I was completely immersed in what prof was saying when i felt a tap on my shoulder, " levez le main" he was saying, as he gave me his last smarties. I almost jumped back. "Don't touch me, boy! I am but a live wire and will break you in two if you let me so much as pass through!" Said i in my mind. But for the rest of the class i sort of turned myself away from him, sat askance and remained quiet.

I don't think i did anything to provoke his said behavior but i will be even more reserved tomorrow.
