Here we go kiddies�
SO. Yesterday, I mentioned I�d tell you a story after you read one of my older entries. One day I was walking to the train station, I was late by about 5 minutes and was probably going to miss my train to work. I was walking so briskly that my ankle was starting to throb. Just the day before, a man in a station wagon stopped on the road and asked me if I wanted a ride to the train station. I declined.
After declining, I was honestly wondering if I was being a jerk for thinking that this guy was crazy or was going to hurt me or something else unforeseen. I told myself that if someone were to ask me today if I wanted a ride I�d smile, hop in and say thanks.
I remembered specifically my friend Ariel who used to hitchhike all the time. She could do it, so could I.
Don�t you know a blue Ford tempo slows down and the guy inside says he�s going to the train station and do I want a ride?
I smile, hop in and say thanks.
I say Hi, my name is Jenna and extend my hand.
He shakes it and says his name is Tim.
Nice to meetcha, I say.
Then I start talking about how I was glad he stopped because my ankle was bothering me and I was probably going to miss my train.
Tim asked if I worked in town, I told him I did and he mentioned what a long ride that must be.
I shrug and mention it wasn�t too bad.
Then Tim says these words:
So, would you like to make some extra money?
I SHIT YOU NOT.
I dart my red fucking eyes at him and say, �No I wouldn�t.��.. �Are you going to have a problem with that Tim.�
It was not a question. It was a fucking statement.
He replied No.
Good.
I swear if that man would have given me ANY fucking trouble, I would have endangered BOTH of our lives in that fucking vehicle. I mean, I would have fucked his shit up and had to steer the car over to the shoulder myself after I knocked him the fuck out.
WHAT A DWEEB.
We got to the train station and I quipped to him a nice to meet you and slammed his door shut. I . Was. Pissed.
Then I started to cry.
Do I look like a whore or is Tim a scumbag or both? It took me SO long to write this story down. It really hurt my feeling that someone would ask me that. Maybe I�m sensitive. It made me feel like a victim even though nothing happened. I felt like a piece of meat. I hated it.
If I see Tim again, I�m changing his gender.
So check this out. The only other time I had to use that �Dirty Harry� tone of voice was with a friend of my friend JOE. The guy who was hurt by Bon Jovi in my entry from a couple days ago!
Joe and I were at this place called Binnie & Flynn�s. Joe and I worked at the same restaurant, but it was a microbrewery, they didn�t have a liquor license, they only had a brewing license. We would go to Binnie�s at the end of our shifts to hang out and, surprise, surprise, drink. Joe introduced me to this guy named Paul. Paul used to work with him at some other job and was about 20 years older than Joe. Joe at the time was 28.
Paul and I were chatting about work and what not for a little bit and soon Joe moved over to chat with his girlfriend at another part of the bar. After a while Paul was beginning to act�weird. What stands out most in my memory was his comment about my face.
I have natural blush on my cheeks. They are always rosy. Paul says to me that he finds my red cheeks very attractive. I said something like, �Oh really. And why is that?� He tells me that it is almost like a cute weakness of mine and that he could tell when I was embarrassed or he could always tell when I�m mad or he could always tell when I was drunk � it was literally written on my face. After saying this, the smirk on his face lead me to believe that Paul had taken an UNWARRANTED liking to me and I felt very much like prey in the grasp of a snake.
I look at Paul and very strongly say, �Well then. There is a reason why the tortoise has such a thick shell� it does not have the ferocity of a lion� �. �Do. You. Understand.�
It was not a question. It was a fucking statement.
He replied Yes.
Good.
HEY. YOU. If you stop in and read this you should say hello. It's the polite thing to do. We'll get naked.
