if they're living in a bad movie?
not because my life is bad,
but because often i find myself in some of the most
unbelieveably impossible situations!
last weekend was one of those moments.
THIS WEEK'S EPISODE:
The Stalker
the scene opens with emily chatting over facebook with her roommate...
sara: emily, do you know prof x?
emily: who's that?
sara: *sigh* he's incredibly attractive! and single!
emily: oo la la! ;)
sara: and his hair is AMAZING!
here our heroine looks up prof x on facebook. he's a lanky, handsome professor rockin the 70s-retro look with shaggy hair.
emily: lol! is he your teacher?
sara: no - i see him everyday cause i study outside his office.
emily: you should tell him how you feel about him ;)
sara: i should - he should know that he and his hair are appreciated!
emily: do it! :D send him a facebook message!
sara: NO WAY! lol i'd die! YOU do it!
emily: LOL! ok!
and she proceeds to write a short, humorous message to prof x informing him that she knows someone (who isn't a student of his) who thinks he should know that 'he and his hair are appeciated!" and sends it.
this is the moment in any film
where we all know that somehow,
at some moment,
this will come back to bite our
mischevious heroine.
she, however, didn't.
fastforward a day and we see emily with her best friend,
when they have a most brilliant idea.
"hey!" emily exclaims, "let's go somewhere tonight we've never been before and try food we've never ordered before! somewhere totally random!"
"awesome!" kim agrees, "let's try this thai place my roommate loves!..."
"done!"
the scene cuts and we see our two lovely characters coming in out of the cold
into a tiny, spice-filled restaurant.
emily is laughing, relating some crazy story from her day,
when she looks up,
her eyes widen,
her face reads dread,
and we can tell,
fate has finally bitten!
we all know what happens now:
she gasps in horror and hides her face
and momentarily wonders if she should make a run for it.
(then i had to smother my laughter)
for there, just a few feet in front of me,
in all his retro-glory,
sat prof x,
enjoying an evening of thai food with another professor!!
after ducking where she couldnt be seen,
her behavior was explained to kim,
they both went into a fit of laughter.
and emily prophesies,
"this is punishment! fate is going to seat us RIGHT next to him out of spite! and when he sees me, the poor man is going to be scared out of his mind that he has a legit stalker who has tracked him down at his favorite thai place!"
more laughter ensues, until they are called by the waitress and find themselves being led to the other side of the room...
"ooooh no!...."
and closer...
"this can't be happening!" emily hissed
and closer!...
"you're gonna HAVE to introduce yourself if we sit next to him, em - there's no other option!"
and CLOSER!...
"no freaking way!..."
...until they were mercifully seated with just one table separting them from the infamous prof x!
i nearly collapsed from relief!
we couldnt stop laughing for an hour!
and so, with my back firmly faced to him,
we enjoyed our curry and pan suie
and had a lovely evening!
(only briefly averting my face when he made his exit past our table)
and end scene.
...can you spot the professor? ;)
