Operation: the wiley dutchman?????
So tonight may well have been my weirdest night ever in Clifton. And that's saying a lot.
During my time in the city, one of the things I've felt bad about is the fact that I never really mingle with my neighbors. There are a lot of factors that go into that, but it is something I would like to be better about. So, as I'm walking home from FOCUS, one of the guys up the street notices my guitar and strikes up a conversation with me about music. After talking for a couple of minutes, he tells me that he was BBQing, and invites me over for a chicken leg. I accept, so I go back and have something to eat and hang out with his two "lady friends." I'm the youngest one there by about 15 years.
Anyway, after about 30 mins, dude asks me if I want to go in and get an early look at some stuff that is going to be sold at a yard sale. Since we are going to need some more furniture for the Bat Fancy, I take him up on it. Well, we get into his living room, and he says, "Really, I just wanted to get you alone." Ummmm, okay. I'm not real sure what that means at this point, so I just wander around looking at the merchandise, inquiring about a chair he is selling for 2 bucks. Then, after a couple of more minutes, he says, "Would you be offended if I told you that you are cute?" At this point I now know what the whole "get you alone" thing was all about. So, I simply explained that while I was not offended, I don't go that way. Needless to say, the rest of my time there was somewhat akward.
Then again, it's good to know that at least someone thinks I'm cute. Or not so good.
