this is the story of a girl and a boy

my professor found out that we were majorly behind schedule today. so he promised us that he would stick to the lectures and not get off topic with any more of his stories from now on, or at least until we're back on track. stupid promise if i do say so myself. of course, this means my attention in class completely shuts off because business classes really hold no appeal for me whatsoever. oh, and because i know you're just dying to know, it turns out the class is managing in a global economy. so yeah, i'm pretty proud of how close i was.

so because i now have nothing interesting to listen to for three whole hours, and because writing snippets of nonsense and random song lyrics while pretending to take notes can only amuse me for so long, i started to combine my two favorite things to do: people watching and writing stories and started a story about two kids in my class. and because i know how you all have nothing better to do with your time (why else would you be reading my blog?) i have decided to share this story with you. exciting i know. some of it will be actual events, some will be changed a little, and some will be completely pulled out of thin air... and you'll probably be able to tell which is which, but if you cant, i'm not telling. it will continue from now until the end of the semester unless i get bored halfway through which is very possible, probably even probable.

anyways, today you meet the characters. next week, you read part one of someteen parts.

Almond Boy: (when i think of a name, i'll let you know. i know them and so you may know them too. since i'll be making up a bunch of stuff about them, i didnt think it would be fair to leave their real names.) constantly dressed in his camouflage army uniform, cap on over his shaved head, tall and built with the long muscles of a jungle cat, he's pretty hard to miss. he carries a small notebook with him that he claims is an extension of his brain - the memory holding part. he spends classes staring with glassy eyes at the professor trying to keep his mind on the lecture and eating snacks he pulls out of the convenience store he must be hiding in his backpack. he does all the readings in class the day of the quiz and has his entire future mapped out and laminated.

Doodle Girl: (i hate choosing character names, hopefully i'll think up some, though.) with mousy brown hair always pulled back into a ponytail or a messy bun, she thinks polo shirts and jeans are to fashion what the light bulb was to technology: one of the greatest contributions ever. she spends her classes creating art with her ball point pen, but absorbs every word the professor says. she does the reading ahead of time and writes the dates of all assignments, tests, and quizzes in her organizer at the beginning of the semester. she makes lifelong friends after a ten minute conversation and believes true love is only true in stories.
