Harry Potter and Baseball

Monday night Ems and I went to a Ranger game and had a great time. We have added various new sayings and memories to our repetoire, and it was fantastic! The main event of the evening though was a woman getting smacked in the face by a foul ball in our section. It was bad. We felt horrible for her, but apparently I didn't feel horrible enough to refrain from taking pictures.....:S.....because I thought of y'all and thought you might like to see it (see below). Then there was, of course, our friend Paul. He talked to his soon-to-be fiance (same girl he broke up with a couple of weeks ago--DRAMA!) who is in Paris at the moment whilst at the game with his niece (it was her birthday). Out of the blue, whilst eating nachos, Paul asks me for a Kleen-x. I tell Paul I don't have a Kleen-x, but that I do have a tampon. He requests the tampon. I give it to him, not thinking he would actually do anything with it. But Paul proceeds to unwrap the tampon, mess with it a bit, dip it in nacho cheese, swing it around, and then discards it (again, see below). I was laughing so hard I nearly peed my pants. Emily was grossed out. :) Good times, good times.

On Tuesday, I subbed for a computer teacher and needless to say, the class was full of dorky, yet lovable boys. One came in dressed as Harry Potter, complete with cape, Griffindor patch he made and taped to his cape, and wand that he constructed out of a coat hanger and card board. I was extremely amused and slightly frightened for this kid. I was hoping that this was not normal behavior for him because I could see that it would eventually get him beat up. Later though, I figured out that it was "dress like a movie star" day, and that was who he had chosen. I don't think I saw anyone else dressed up. The kid's got confidence. It'll take him far.

So, in conclusion, the last couple of days have been random. The End.

P.S. I've posted a lot lately, so keep scrolling if you want to read some more. :)

Do you have empathy for the boy? What did you like to wear to school that made everyone make fun of you and beat you up?

I didn't have to have empathy for the boy. He didn't get hit by a baseball going 50 million miles an hour; he just dressed like Harry Potter. Oh, and I wore skin-tight leopard skin tights, a feather-lined duster jacket, and platforms....if you MUST know! gee.
