How devilish I am!
What oh! What a glorious moment since my last post 5 minutes ago!
Let me explain...
I go to take a break from class, don't know what I want from the vending machine yet....
As I walk, I pass a young lady sitting outside a classroom on the stairs, intensly studying for what obviously was an anatomy exam. I peeked inside the room and saw the professor was getting ready for the exam, organizing his papers and writing on the board when the test will start.
For a brief instant, a mere half a second, I pass by cruising to my snack, and I block the halogen light the lady needed to study by. For that brief moment, I knew I had power over her. Blocking the light, I knew she couldn't study, I knew I had the power to either make her fail and ruin her semester, or I could also allow her to continue on cramming. I laughed hard at (or was it, with?) my inner demon that had pointed that out to me with his pitchfork a few seconds later.
However the adventure did not stop there. No, oh no. I truly have adventures by myself all the time, if you were there I would not have these thoughtful times.
I got to the food machine. No sooner had I pulled out my wallet than an old soul walked up to me, asking if I had change for a five. I said "Hold on a second," I looked in my wallet. There were exactly 5 singles. "I do, but then I won't be able to get what I want if I take your five," I said with a challenging glare. The old soul knew that neither of us wanted a pocket full of quaters as change from the five dollar bill. While I was thinking choco-taco or turkey and swiss sandwich (man, they have everything at those machines nowadays!) she rummaged. She was still rummaging and strolling around when I purchased my sandwich and left, saying sorry to the old soul. She yelled back after what appeared to be a breakthrough thought, "Its ok, I'll just get my mountain dew at the cafeteria!"
Mountain dew! Blast! Thats all she wanted! i thought she wanted something expensive like me! How beyond lame I was! The simple solution was to of course buy the sandwich and the stupid soda for her. Alas, A lesson was learned. Ask what an old soul wants, before walking away guilty.
One more story.
After opening my sandwich, walking back, I had yet again the chance to ruin the young lady's study for anatomy. I didn't ruin it for a half-second, I gallantly walked to the side of the light, I think she noticed and smiled. As I walked, I noticed that some of the mayonaise that came with it was still on my hand, from the instinctual del taco habit I had tried, and failed. The mayonaise looked a lot like snot on my hand, and I looked at it. That was the real reason the young lady smiled, not because of my gallant light-evasion. What an evil thought she had. One last moral, lol. One evil thought deserves another.
