Simple Story

These three girls just joined me for a quick spot of laughter a the cafe. I confess, I enjoyed it more than I should. Not because they were particularly enlightening or interesting or even worthy of my time but they were charmingly hilarious.

And it's hard not to find that entertaining, endearing and enjoyable. One girl in particular went too far. Laughing and rolling around on the floor, she was initially quiet and even went and sat at another table leaving me and the two dorks to chat.

I had been writing some serious drama so it was a nice little break.

They poured white sugar packets into their mouths like it was ... water? Contorted and joked. JC even had one of those long fireplace lighters in her bag, which didn't make sense to me -- she said her dad had got it for her when she asked for a lighter. I asked if it was his way of keeping them from toking up, get an entirely impractical lighter.

They thought this was funny but I was serious... why else would get such a lighter?

One girl let me borrow her expensive camera temporarily so snap some shots. I am a total nerd, I do love taking pictures -- sometimes -- catching people in interesting moments, doing funny things that seem totally normal until taken somewhat out of context in a photograph.

They're cool kids. Why do people grow out of that? Not the girl who was rolling around on the floor, she was a bit extreme -- that's fun sometimes but I imagine she's like that all the time because all the dancers I've known were basically just as insane.

The other two stooges, though, were pretty chill and I liked them. Why can't we all have that fun?

Yes, life has to be serious some times but that serious? Seriously?

Thanks stooges, you rock, even if I only see you once every two months. Try and stay that cool, don't grow into bitter bratty bitches. If you can help it.
