i think i have a thing for cute girls with cute hats.

at my (*ahem*, our) birthday party last weekend, i was talking to this one really cute girl with a hat for a large portion of the night, and the hat was a big part of why she seemed so cute. but for some reason she didn’t bite. and she left while i was, uh, cleaning out my insides. so that came to nothing but she was still very cute.

now, there’s a girl in my thursday night advertising class that i’ve got it for pretty badly. i think she’s so perfect looking to my tastes. she’s really cute, but really…well, sort of dark, i guess. not like dark-skinned; dark like…troubled. (sigh). and she happens to always wear a knitted stocking cap to class that sure doesn’t make her any less cute. i keep imagining this conversation happening after class as a means to begin some sort of speaking relationship:

boy: hey, what’s your name?

girl: [tells me her name in a tone that says “who are you and why are you asking?”]

boy: oh, hi [girl’s name]. (pause for effect). i like your hat.

girl: (nervous but slightly flattered and interested) umm, thanks…

boy: (walks alongside her for a second silently, then) well, see you next week [girl’s name again].

girl: (puzzled, charmed, smiling) okay, bye…

boy:(skates away on skateboard)

for some reason i feel like that would be all it took to get things going. but, of course, i’m too shy to even do that, and will continue meekly trying to catch her eye during class.

god i’m terrible at this stuff. perhaps i should build a robot girlfriend instead — it may be easier.
