Dear dear what to blog about? This is all very new! Let's go with the theme, on the positive side. Here's a what if:

What if you're a regular Jane and you're sitting in the library doing some work minding your own business when some curly Joe dressed in tighty tight black jeans and blacker than black pristine canvas tennis shoes, calls you ugly, remarks on the scowl you didn't know you had, and tells you he hopes you're not studying to be a teacher because you'd surely scare the children? What do you do?

I'll tell you:

First, there's no way you can possibly get all bent about it, because you're so shocked you can't think straight. Never before has anyone mysteriously appeared from the stacks at the library and assailed you with a litany of insults. Your face is blank, you're eyes wide as you try to comprehend. You flash your best idiot smile and try to make nice. Perhaps this strange black creature is joking or is an acquaintance from a party and now he's being a jerk because he doesn't know how to be funny and thinks he is.

But then that feeling like a stone lodging in the back of your throat tells you that nothing positive is going on here. The guy sneers and slithers away, and that's when it sinks in that this is for real. What do you do?

....................... ahhh.... more later.
