It was a run-by fruiting...

I went to Big Lots today to grab some cleaning supplies (which I was too lazy to actually use today) and as I approached the only open register I groaned internally when I saw the amount of stuff the old couple in front of me was buying. I hefted my 24 pack of water bottles and kind of spaced out as I waited for the old lady to finish putting all her stuff on the counter. Next thing I know Mrs. Doubtfire is telling me she's made room for my stuff on the counter. I kid you not, this woman sounded EXACTLY like Mrs. Doubtfire. It was the freakiest thing EVER! It was also extremely awesome. Not only was her voice the same but her mannerisms and she was super chatty and hilarious. I wish I could've video taped my interaction with her so everyone could experience the awesomeness. Pretty much those 2-3 minutes made my entire day. She totally called me dearie :)

Also we had Jersey Shore night at Preston's tonight and I think the vision of Preston in boardshorts, a wifebeater and his hair gelled will be one of those memories I tuck away to cheer me up on a sad day. Good times. Best line of the episode: "Guys don't understand girls and that's why the rate of lesbian couples is going up in the country", said in all seriousness by Snooki.

Riding in cars sans boys

So, for some reason guys like to hit on me while I'm driving. This is neither safe* nor particularly sexy. Also, because they have about 10 seconds to make an impression, they always seem to try to grab my attention in interesting ways. And by interesting, I mean weird.

One time this car pulled up on my left and the driver rolled down his window and yelled that his friend sitting in the back seat thought I was cute and asked if I had a boyfriend. What I don't understand is, why didn't the fool in the back seat roll down his damn window? Doesn't make sense. To make this story particularly enjoyable, I was actually listening to "No Scrubs" during this chance encounter and there is a line that talks about "hanging out your best friend's ride try to the holla at me".

Another time I had this guy so desperate to give my his phone number while we were ON THE FREEWAY* that he drove as close as possible next to me (which freaked me out) in order to throw this tiny piece of paper into my window. When that failed he actually followed me off the freeway until my increased speed made it fairly clear I was uninterested since my uninterested face hadn't done the job previously.

A couple of weeks ago I was driving up Reseda and some guy driving next to me asked if I knew where Balboa was. I told him it was parallel to this street to our right. After I replied he said "Clearly I don't know my way around, you should give me your number so you can show me around". Not so much weird as annoying because he made me miss the light while he was trying to get my number. *shakes fist*

Anyway, this all leads to yesterday. I was sitting at the light at Plummer and Tampa waiting to make a left turn to head towards the 118 and the guy in the car next to me starts turning up the volume on his stereo ever-so-slowly. Annoyed, because my windows are open I put down my almonds and inch forward hoping that not being directly next to his open windows will stifle the sound a bit. However, there is not much space between myself and the car in front of me so its a fail. Just after I stop again I hear him yell "Hey spice girl" and I look over and he nods. In my head, I am thinking "What the fuck?". There is nothing anywhere on or around me that is indicative of the Spice Girls. I don't resemble them, I'm not British, and I'm listening to Lil Wayne rap his lil heart out. The only thing I have in common with them is that I am a girl. I was so baffled by this that I just turned back and started eating my almonds again.

Boys are weird. And also, hitting on me via car is not gonna work. Unless you are Mark Wahlberg, Stark Sand, Alexander Skarsgard, Nathan Fillion, or maybe a handful of select people, its not gonna happen. I barely give my number to my friends, let alone COMPLETE strangers who I've met for 30 seconds at a red light.

This was probably super boring, but I'm bored and this at least relieved my boredom.
