the world is how small??

i ordered delivery food for dinner last night. the dude called my room to let me know i needed to go meet him at the front door. i hesitated a few seconds as i scrambled to find a tape to record whatever i would miss of rose red and off i went.
got on the elevator. hurried to the front door, opened and.. "hey!" said the strange girl passing by me in the doorway. i said an absent-minded hi and then... what? who was that? turned around and..
it was jacqi. the girl i befriended at a bus stop last april and hung out with for about 2 weeks, went to a movie with and then subsequently lost her number and figured i'd never see her again (as she was not a student).
how psycho weird is that? that a girl i knew for barely 2 weeks almost a year ago suddenly visits my dorm at the very minute i'm picking up delivery food? a girl who does not even live near the dorm, nor go to my school, nor have met the person she was visiting in the dorm (she was brought there by friends)?
psycho. so we exchanged numbers again, and i need to take her to a movie to get even for her taking me to a movie last spring. crazy. crazy! small, small world.
and damn it's hard to practice photography on people. it's hard for people not to notice a big white girl pointing a large camera that make very loud whirring noises at them. and as soon as they notice, they either pose like idiots, or more commonly, frown and look disturbed and self conscious.
i can't blame them, but what the hell... i think i'm sticking to taking pictures of inanimate things for another month. they can put up with my focusing and fiddling with shutter speeds and whatever. heh. anyway. cin cin. �� 3:06 p.m.
