Thoughts for the blog
Sep. 29th, 2003 06:04 pmThese are some things I wrote while at school today...take a gander.
Guys don't take step aerobics. Every guy in step aerobics was in the class by mistake. :)
There they are, like a school landmark. Those cheerful escapists at the "Magic Table" as I call it. Always occupied by the sunny bunch playing Magic, D&D, and other such 'social outcast' activities. There's almost always someone sitting at the table, and it's almost depressing when I find that no one is there. I wonder if all of them are students here, or if they randomly just show up. I wnder how people end up sitting there? Do they walk up, give an introduction, and just sit down? Or do they sit at the table only when they have prior associations with the people that are already sitting there? How early do they get here, and when does the last one leave? How did that table become the table for LCC's gaming community? Do they all associate outside of school? Where the hell do they get all those goddamn Magic cards?
I'm completely fascinated by them right now, they who are of higher 'nerd levels' than I. They who often wear seemingly the same clothes every day (You know who you are).
To be honest, I want to learn to play Magic and D&D, a fact that bothers my friends greatly. I just don't know many of those gamer types, and of those that I do know, I don't feel comfortable asking them to get me started in furthering my geekdom/imagination.
Still...they look awfully pleased with themselves...
Shayne and I wore the same shirt to class...how embarrassing. I made a comment about it while we entered, and heard snickering from one side of the room. They must have realize after my remarks that Shayne and I had not purposely worn the EXACT same Dashboard Confessional T-Shirt today. Still, I do love this shirt. In the Archery orientation, the instructor noticed, after Shayne had gone up to get her arms measured and it was now my turn, that she and I were in fact wearing the same shirt. She asked if Dashboard Confessional was some sort of gang, or secret society, and embarrassed, I giggled out "It's a band..." but I don't think the instructor understood me... because she asked me again at the end of the class.
...Maybe Shayne and I should wear our identical Evanescence T-Shirts on Wednesday.
Wouldn't that be kooky.
