Interesting past couple of days -- where to begin. First off, there was Anne who appeared at a coffee shop and actually offered her number willingly.

It started when I made a loud comment about the new snowflakes that are on the coffee mugs that we have in our hands (we are in Starbucks). Looking around at the Christmas decor that seemed to hit Starbucks out of nowhere and extremely early, I note that the decorations actually look more like pipe cleaners that anything else, really just a project made by some fourth graders. She laughs, and when I comment on her ear-rings (they caught my attention from the side view I had of her) she dropped her notebook on the ground and spilt all of the contents of it all over the floor. It was quite unforgetable. Soon thereafter, I had her number in my pocket and was utterly ESTATIC.

That was monday, this is wednesday and things are moving right along quite merrily. I called her tonight but she was having a friend up, my jealous instincts say it is her boyfriend but that would be making the worst-case scenario out of the situation. We are going to do something in the future, she was going to give me a call ( I shouldn't let her say that before I get her off the line, I don't want to have to wait for the damn call). It has some major POTENTIAL. Expecially after our conversation on Monday, which was quite enjoyable.

Moving on, in the Utopia class on Tuesday all hell broke loose. After a rather mellow couple of previous days, class attendence shot up through the roof and some interesting characters appeared. Steve was there in full force, and he seems to smeel a bit better as of late ( I think he found an apartment). The Indian was quite interesting however, since I already have listened to the eccentric Steve.

Jeremy, a post-modern alternative type was approached by the Indian who told him that he had a vision. Handing him a leather sack, the Indian explained that he was going to "fill that full of gold." Jeremy immediatley thought - I am going to take him to class with me today.

In the Utopia class he spent most of his time trying to get a point across to Jeremy while group discussion commenced. Once he finnally got the floor he interjected - "Do you know what Man's problem is? He trys to name everything. None of this really exists! We are all rays of light flying through the cosmos. My body is a machine, and when it dies I will not die. I have been around for thousands of years. It is all here (points to heart) and here (points to head)."

I might have butchered the exact words, but I think that my interpretations accuratley discribe his belief system. It was quite a sight.
