Day 14

Day 14: I've discovered a fact about myself that is nearly supernatural.  I don't mean to unnerve you, gentle reader, but I have what can only be described as the dumbest superpower in the world:

I'm bad at lunch. 

Worst.  Superpower.  Ever

This happens every day.  I go with my friends to one of the myriad cafeterias on campus, and I order lunch.  They do, too, or sit down to eat their prepared lunches.  And every single day, by the time I reach the table where my friends sit, I find them with empty dishes, staring at me expectantly, as I begin to eat my meal.  I'm ruining the lives of the people I care about.

So today, finally, I figured a way around it: we'd go off-campus for lunch. 

Now, I want you to understand that this is something that has been sticking in my craw for a bit, so I took some pro-active steps (like a good consultant!): 

1 - I was close to first in line.  I tried to muscle my way ahead of J, but she's stronger than she looks.  Despite being a full foot and a half shorter than me.  Ahem.
2 - I ordered something simple at Chipotle: a bowl of Mexican.  How much simpler could I go??
3 - I was determined.  That counts.  I was determined to finish before everyone else.

I sat down.  I began to eat.

I looked up.

I found them with empty dishes, staring at me expectantly, as I began to eat my meal.

...damnit.

I had a wonderful evening, though, hanging with good friends, eating good food, and enjoying really good television.

Adventure means never having to explain why you're taking a long time eating lunch.  Or something.

Loves to my peeps.

Tomorrow, for you and I both, in equal measure:

ADVENTURE!!  :)

To paraphrase an old friend from Columbia: Maybe they don't chew in California.
