how strange it is to be anything at all

today was cross country.
i didn't really run. i didn't get puffed out. i wanted to run more - THINK OF ALL THE WEIGHT I'LL LOSE! <3
yes anyways, that's besides the point, when me and alesha and eugenie got to castle towers we decided we wanted hot chips so we went to this takeaway and ordered a large hot chips.
then i saw these.. baclavas. whatever they were. tasty looking pastries.
and i said out loud oh my god.. those look so good.
and the man was like- they don't just look good, they taste good too!
and i laughed and yeah. kinda backed off because he might try sell them to me, you know how pushy some sales people can get.
instead he asked me and eugenie and alesha - have you ever tried baclavas before?
umm.. no..
never?
yeah.. never.
then he stood there, staring at the baclavas. thinking about something. after a moments hesitation, he announced that he was "going to be a good man for once" and he took out one baclava and went to chop it. i looked at the price tag and offered to pay but he said no. i don't want your money, i'm being a good man for once in my life. i thanked him and gladly accepted. it was really nice.

it was a strange, unsettling event. as eugenie describes it, "you just .. don't do that! you're not meant to be nice! .... ahh so confused.."
yeah. it baffled me too. people showing kindess and being nice. and giving.
eugenie said she almost wanted to cry for some reason.
i just ate the baclava.

yes well that takeaway will be seeing me more often now :)
