in high school i liked to drive cars really fast. when i came home from college and i was not used to driving, i learned to enjoy going slow. really slow. sometimes i would go extra slow to piss of people behind me who seemed like they were in too much of a rush. now, i am learning to enjoy walking slow. because i am often stuck walking slowly home from the subway.
today i was walking home from the subway and there was another (young) woman who was walking as slow as i was. there were several awkward moments where i was about to pass her, then she was about to pass me. we were very conscious of each other, b/c we we were both walking *so* slow. i couldn’t take it anymore, and i walked even slower, and let her move ahead.
maybe this is a good way to meet girls, walking slow?
there was some serious tension in the air, but i don’t think it was that kind of tension… but next time I walk slow with someone, i’ll chat them up. maybe make friends. maybe meet girls. LOL.
slowing down to “chase” girls. i like it.
If this were a script, my line for you would have been, “I have cancer. What’s your excuse, slowpoke?” And I would cast Jason Schwartzman for the part (not for any resemblance in looks, dialog, or mannerisms…just because I think he’d probably act that line in the way that I’d want it to come out).
okay x, i’ll try that line next time. though i think i’ll drop the slowpoke. its a little confrontational.
