Sigh.

So today I was in line at a WFU basketball game and I went to go get some oreo ice cream at half time. While waiting in a long line (causing me to miss playing the fight song twice), a young boy and what I assume was his brother were in front of me. The boy, being a boy, was looking around him and happened to look at me. At this point, his mouth is slightly open and he is blatently staring at me. I can his gaze for a second, but I look away as he does.

Now, about a minute or two later, I notice he is staring at me again. My arms are crossed and I look him directly in the face. We have a face off for about 30 seconds. I conceded and go back to my musings. He continues to stare for another 1 minute, then looks and whispers something to his brother while still looking at me. I'm still just standing there waiting to eat ice cream. His brother says something and tries to discreetly look at me.

It's at this point that I'm thinking, why are these people staring at me? I mean, I am more of a minority up here than blacks, but why am I ostrasized? I do know that I haven't shaved for about 2 weeks now and haven't gotten a haircut since August something, but still...

Oh well. I have decided to take double bass lessons in the summer and join jazz band.
