stop, tell me if you heard this one, but there was this one fella...

I am officially a college student!

(I will be writing a big college-related post later when I have the time/whenever I can get my laptop internet connection working.)

But just to say something interesting so that this isn't a pathetically short and meaningless post: it is just mildly creepy that one of the Getty Museum security guards was hitting on me. Ladies under the age of 25, beware the South Pavilion room with the Louis XIV Turkish bed because there is way too much potential for awkward innuendo.

There's a reason it's called the Getty and not the Politedecliney.

I must admit, there's something about gigantic red satin "Turkish" daybeds that prompt awkward pickup lines from men old enough to be my grandfather. Not a politedecliney, indeed.

Hahaha.

:P

I can't think of a witty response to your comment, sorry.

Congratulations! On being in school, not your Getty experience

[theladyrose.livejournal.com]

Many thanks! I'm hoping that my encounter at the Getty was an isolated case, because the other guards and docents were very respectful.

keep in mind you still have to be on the lookout for Asian Campus Ministries for Christ, et al. They will find you.

I'm leaving Wednesday morning.

Ta, luv.

I so did some Alias worthy evasion tactics around the Asian Christian Fellowship booth. It would make any Bristow/Derevko proud. But I know that at some point this semester I *will* be accosted by a creepy Asian missionary.

Oooh, you must tell me everything once you get to Hollins! Are you still on MSN Messenger?

Well, at least your first week has been, uh, interesting? I look forward to hearing all about it.

[theladyrose.livejournal.com]

It's a pity I can't communicate my experiences so far in sign language!

[blofeldscat.livejournal.com]

Well, who became a big girl? :p

You and I have some serious catching up to do, you will not escape this time. :D

[theladyrose.livejournal.com]

I guess we weren't online at the same time today because I didn't see you logged in. Should we try again tomorrow?

[blofeldscat.livejournal.com]

Well, I think I was online, I now I was when I got the e-mail notification about the message. Don't forget to count with 9 hours of difference. :p Enjoy your first class. :D

Why are you already at college??? Also, for future reference, security gaurds are pervy weirdos in general--I had problems with one in the *Musee d'Orsay*--seriously. Also, you will get AIM. Or iChat. Or something. I do not care about what your computer thinks about that, *figure it out*, because I miss talking to you, stupid. Stupidpants. Yeah.

[theladyrose.livejournal.com]

My first class starts tomorrow; I can't believe it, either!

You'll have to tell me about zees Frenchie guard sometime.

I don't have AIM yet, but I do have iChat on my MacBook. What's your screen name there?

And I need to give you my new cell phone number that's actually located in California now. My old phone seems to have slipped into the digital equivalent of a coma and I got booted off my uncle's family share plan.
