notes on an evening

Tonight after dinner I went to Starbucks, ordered an iced coffee and sat outside to enjoy the warm summer night. I had brought a book to read, but ended up just watching people go by. The Starbucks is right downtown, so there were a lot of people to watch. I decided that there are pretty much three types of people here: rich outdoorsy types (A), college students from Colorado College who might be rich but try to hide it (B), and homeless people (C). Fascinating.
So while I was sitting there, a group of A's, a guy and three girls, came up to me with a camera and asked me to take a picture of their group, who had presumably just finished a run judging by their short-shorts and tennis shoes. I smiled and agreed, of course, what else do you do when someone asks you to take their photo? So as I was standing there, holding the camera, the guy of the group turns to his friends and says to me "Now don't you think about running off with our camera..." What? Did this jerk in Nikes just threaten me? Also, do I look like the kind of person who would run off with someone's camera? Frankly, I'm insulted. Honestly.
So, um, Colorado Springs is a great place to live, but, seriously, I'm a little frustrated with group A.
On the plus side, I had a pretty good day at work. I stayed pretty busy all day (which is good, since normally I am bored for at least about three of the eight hours I work). More interns arrived, and most of them are really friendly. It's making me feel pretty good about myself — one just graduated from Yale, one's in grad school, and one just graduated from another school. And then there's me, who just finished my sophomore year in college. Win. Also, I got my first paycheck today, which was smaller than I expected but still not terrible.
So that's what happened to me today.
Cheers!

oh also, don't forget to look at my new blog that I'm going to update when I make interesting things on the computer. Right now there's not much up there, but I plan to make more soon. Coincidentally, if you are in need of a graphic designer who's into typography and making things look good, please please please let me know. I have a pretty reasonable rate, too.
