All The Ducks Are Swimming In The Water...

Lemon Jelly - Nice Weather For Ducks

Dear every person reading this. You need to watch this video. All of it. NEED to. It's basically the happiest video/song ever created. Its just under four minutes long, and you have no excuse for not watching it. Thus, watch it. That is all.


Anyhoo, so last night, I had a magical adventure. It wasn't really an adventure, per se, but I enjoyed it. It was pretty adorable. Not on my part, mind you, but on this stranger's part.

So.

I walked my friend back to her house after we left this party, and after I dropped her off, I started to walk back to the party. It was a 25 minute walk or so, and I get bored easily, so I was people watching as I walked. Then I saw this guy and girl talking on a street corner.

Girl: "No, I don't want you to walk me back. I just met you, I don't know you at all, I'll just walk myself."

Guy: "Come on, you know me, let's go."

Girl: "No, get away from me."

That was my cue.

So I walk up to the girl and I'm all "Hey! How are you?"

And she looks at me all confused, understandably. So I say "Oh, are you going home? I could walk you if you want?"

We look at eachother for a second, and then she smiles a little and goes "yeah, that'd be great."

So we start to walk, leaving creeper boy in our dust, and after we've been walking for a minute, she looks at me and says "Oh, right, sorry, I'm Emily by the way. And thanks for that. He was creepy, and then you came along, and you seemed trustworthy, so thanks."

I giggled.

Now the real question is, what made me, a total stranger walking down the street by myself at 2 in the morning seem like a trustworthy character, while this boy was a rapist? I don't know, but I guess I'm okay with it.

So I don't know her last name (she told me, but I forgot it), I don't have her number, and I'll never see her again, but she made my night happier, so it's cool.
