I decided I’m going to live my life like i’m always in a movie. This entails a lot of things that I will do by myself that are ridiculous that no one will ever know. I created this tumbelog to keep track of those things I do.

Pen-ted up Racism

problem: i get to my american philosophy class and realize i dont have any writing utensils.

solution: ask the black chick sitting behind me for a pen.

woohoo got a pen for class.

i made a mental note to make sure i gave the pen back to her since she was kind enough to lend it to me and i had never even spoken to her.

problem: at the end of class, the seat directly behind me was empty!

two possible scenarios:
a) she relocated during the mid-class break
b) she left the classroom altogether during the mid-class break.

at this point, i noticed there was a black chick in the classroom but i wasn’t sure if it was the same one. now i was faced with a difficult decision:

offer the pen to the black chick and risk looking like a huge douchebag if it was the wrong girl(aka i think all black people look the same to me, butreally i just didn’t pay attention to the girl who had given me the pen)

OR

not offer the pen and look like an ungrateful asshole who borrows pens and never returns them.

in the end, i feel ashamed to admit, i left without offering black the pen. i mean offering back the pen.
