Gross

Today on the subway, I saw the oddest thing. Well, odd doesn't describe it. Apparently, there's a baseball game tonight at Shea Stadium. Because of this, there were quite a few people on the 7 tonight. One group I noticed in particular. There was a girl, I'd say about 20 years old, maybe Laotian or Cambodian. She was sitting around two older caucasian men, and by older, I mean about 45 to 50 years old. Fine, usually that's nothing. What I couldn't fathom, was that one of those old men had his arms around her shoulders and his hand was molesting her arm. That gave me chills. Were they related somehow? Was he a particularly close friend? Was she a hooker? Did she simply not mind some man old enough to be her father have his arm so...intimately slung around her? And then she put her arm on his thigh, his inner thigh. At which point I threw up a little in my mouth. Thank god they got off at Shea Stadium...
In other news, I made a friend today. Sadly, I can't remember his name. I think it's John. I'm pretty positive it's John. John just recently graduated from Kansas State with a master's degree in landscape design. He's currently working in the same office as me, though not in the same company. He's also currently working as a National Guard whatchamacallit. He's a very nice, tall fellow who I thought was bald, until I noticed that it's just that his hair is so blond, it's white. Nice person, but still, I'm hoping I can make some friends more my age, and preferably female. I still haven't had a chance to go visit the neighboring design office, must get to that sometime.
O yes, and for once, the guy at the receptionist desk said good morning to me. Amazing, I do exist.
