The Apple of my Eye

The poll. I don't know how to interpret it. Because 3 people voted. And more answers were chosen, a they should have been. Obviously some people cream-and-sugar. Personally ("For me, personally, what I do" -- Danny Mc), I add Splenda™ to my coffee. Though I usually get Soy Spanish Lattes anyways, so never mind. Yep.

New quiz: non-sexual fantasies. This has been a theme of my life these days. And what a good one. But some people don't get them. Waterfalls? No, Adam. I mean, maybe, but do these aforementioned waterfalls tap dance? Then maybe not...q

So New York, which is where I am now. I like it. A lot. I feel nice and independent. But not very nice. Dunno. Contradiction. Anyways, I'm a fan. And I had an epiphany. You know how in Champaign-Urbana, people are quaint and you smile at them when you pass? And you know how in cities (or really anywhere other than CU or Mahomet) you don't make eye contact? WELL, the exception to this rule: you can make eye contact with someone if they have a dog or a child. And you look at the dog/child first, and then at the owner/parent/adult. Then, and (generally) only then can you make eye contact with a stranger without seeming like a creep.

I'm gonna go get a dog and a kid. Peace out, mofos.

WHY IS EVERYONE COOL IN NEW YORK THIS WEEKEND?

Seriously. You're officially the third person I know who doesn't live in NYC but is there right now. I'm really jeal.

And I totally agree about the exceptions to the city eye contact rule! It's like:

"Aww, I'm appreciating your dog/child, then I'll look at you and give you a knowing smile to let you know that I also enjoy cute animals/children, and we are in a secret club together."

A hilarious twist on this exception would be looking at the dog/child with widened eyes and a grimace, then up at the owner/parent with an expression like "YOU LET THAT HIDEOUS THING OUTSIDE?!?" I need to try this.
