So today I was volunteering at home sweet home, the Timexpo. The day however was not wasted in random oblivion but with an old friend Emma. I met Emma as a volunteer at the Timexpo while volunteering over the summer of my freshman year. We established a pretty good connection since then and its always fun to meet up and reconnect.
At the Timexpo though, time seems to never move and a few minutes can seem like hours; pretty ironic when you’re in a time museum. For the most part, we spent the day just talking and trying to pass the time. Occasionally, pregnant cats and heckling store employees came by but for the most part, it was a rather calm day . . beyond the pregnant cat and heckling store people.
The thing is the cat wasn’t just pregnant, but violent. We only found out about it from a casualty who came in screaming he was assaulted by a cat. From there, we go into the parking lot and all you see is this hunched over ball of fur who whenever you get to close, strikes at you. The cat was obviously in heat and it took mall security about an hour to remove the beast to the local pet shop for help . . I guess.
The store people are another story as they always take me interacting with someone of the opposite sex as a full out expose. I’ve known Emma for a while now and I can admit that at one point, I may have felt something for her but nothing that could really evolve into a real relationship. We’re of different times, different worlds, and it would never really work out. And yet, the heckling store people continued to push the situation, convinced that I might at well try my luck.
From there, I basically find my way to Norbert’s house for an awkward party that was suppose to be jam-backed with people. From what I understand, Norbert had apparently been calling all the people in our class for a summer party he was gonna throw. As usual, all the girls said no and it ended up being me, kenhji, and some kid named Seth in a very educated, but stimulating conversation on technology right now and what we can expect when Darba releases the Internet 2. Ooooh.
Honestly, I can’t imagine how a girl would have fit in this party as card games and nerdy conversation practically made me fall asleep. Either way, I find my way home around 10 after Kenhji’s dad is nice enough to give me a ride back. . . wowee. I guess today just made me appreciate friends and how sometimes its hard to distinguish who you can really count on as your friend.
Sincerely, Hector Guzman
