What to write about/ Tribute to random girl sitting across the table

So I've been sitting in the No shhh Zone of the library trying to figure out what the heck I could blog about. Sitting....sitting....sitting.....thinking....thinking...thinking......

I still can't think of anything media related to blog about (well, I can think of a couple ideas but they would take more time to write about than I have) but I've decided I am going to blog about the hilarity of what is taking place before my very eyes right this moment.

Ok, so across the table from me at the No Shhh Zone is this girl working on a computer. About two seconds ago this random guy comes up to her from out of no where and totally out of the blue. He took a seat next to her and is sitting uncomfortably close. It is clear that she has NO idea who this guys is and is really curios to see why the heck he is talking to her...especially so timidly.

Ok, the guy is awkward as all get out (....bless his heart). He just began telling her that he's seen her a lot around here. She then gave him a really uncomfortable look like "where did you come from and why are you talking to me?" Then she came up with some type of adequate response like, "well, I do work here a lot..."

Oh boy, this is painful to watch.....

.......Really, this is so uncomfortable.

Ok, so here's some of the convo....

Boy: "My name is _____"

Girl: "oh, I'm _______"

::::::SILENCE::::::::::

Boy: "yeah, so I've seen you a lot around and recognize you from seeing you so much"

[Girl is looking mega awkward and slightly creeped out...I don't think she knows what to say]

Girl: "ummm....yeah, i don't remember you, ummm....but...uh...ummmm... it's nice to meet you?"

[Guy is displaying looks of pain...and doubt concerning what to do next....]


Ok, he's starting more small talk......

....still awkward.....

.....Girl makes a polite half/hearted response and turns between statements to keep working on her paper (P.S. Guys-this is a bad sign.....by periodically turning as if to continue on with her homework, this girl is sending a signal of "i've got better and much less awkward things to do right now...please go away." Unfortunately, no sign of hint being taken).

Yeah, poor guy. This is just not working.

::::::Awkward Silence::::::No good signals from girl::::::::

......Oh my HOLY awkward!.....

Ok, the boy is awkwardly saying bye and going back to his seat across from the No shhhh Zone.

yeah, no sign of other friends at table or dare/bet potential....just true, pure awkwardness.

Well, congratulations random girl across the table, You made it onto my blog!

OK....so the media:

I often study in the No Shhhh Zone. This is mostly due to the many computers that are here. A lot of times I dont' really even need a computer, I just like being on one while I do homework so I can access various forms entertainment such as music, facebook, etc. I am thinking, however, that the real entertainment lies not in the media but simply in the awkward real life interactions that take place in such abundance here in the No Shhhh Zone. In fact, maybe I should just start a whole new blog entirely dedicated to my time here and the wildly entertaining things I observe, experience, and witness (like the one time i fell asleep and got woken up by a complete stranger! yeah, it was awkward).

  4. megan you don't have to be blogging about my personal life, it's embarassing enough to have to be rejected by hundreds of girls. i must attribute my social awkwardness to my habitual and ritual playing of world of war craft, i now find interacting in real life inutile.
