Halloween brings out the weirdos

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!! As many of you may know Halloween is my favorite holiday. My annual Halloween party is tomorrow night and I am really excited to see all my friends. My favorite part of this holiday is that I get to see how creative people can be when coming up with costumes. Even if it is a simple character some people really get into it and go to great lengths to delve into it. I am especially excited about this Halloween because I missed out on last year's celebrations since I was in Guate.

Anyway, as many people often say Halloween brings out the weirdos and somehow they always find me. Last night while sitting at the library trying to stay awake long enough to catch up on homework a man approached me. "What are you studying?" I looked at him confused and answered "Poli Sci?!" I assumed he had thought I was someone he knew considering my head was down and I waited for embarassment to sweep his face as he had a moment of realization that I was not, in fact, who he thought I was. However that look never came and the conversation continued. He asked to sit down and we chatted for about 10 min. He said he was a junior studying math, he had transferred from San Antonio, he was from Nigeria (which explained his African accent) and that he had been here a year and a half. He asked to bring his lap top over and being the push over I am I said "sure!" even though in my head I was thinking "I just want to do my homework!" While he was gone gathering his things I laughed to myself because when I first sat down in the library I momentarily wondered "do people ever meet in the library? do boys appraoch girls that are studying?" Well, apparantly boys from Nigeria do!

He returned shortly with his laptop and I immediately realized he had no intention of studying so I gave up on homework for the night. He admitted that he had lied about being a math major and confessed his true profession. He is in Tucson as a 2nd year medical resident at the TMC. WHAT?! He showed me his idea and business card so I had to believe him. We talked for about an hour before I started falling asleep. We exchanged numbers and he asked to walk me out to my car. I had no reason to say no. We walked and chatted some more. Once I got my car, however, he gave me a hug good bye and as I came out of the hug he, to my great shock and surprise, planted a big kiss. WHOA!!!! I stood there in shock not really knowing what to do. I sort of chuckled awkwardly and said "well it was nice meeting you." He continued "oh you are so cute, I saw you and just thought you were so cute." Then he tried to kiss me again but I dodged them. I quickly got in my car and peaced out. He said something about calling me Sunday so we could go see a movie. It was sooooo super weird! Why do the weirdos always find me!

Moral of the story: Don't talk to boys in the library, even if they do approach you!
