So I decided to break down and buy some groceries, and I just came back from Smiths. On the corner of State Street and 800 where I turn to go home, I pulled into the turning lane and saw a car pull up next to me on my left. I didn't pay much attention, until I noticed it slowly inching forward to line up with mine. Oh, great...that can only mean a couple things.
1. This guy wants a race. Alright. Sebastian and I can take him.
2. Someone wants to talk. ( ...Don't make eye contact....)
Now...as I mentioned before, today is a gorgeous day. When this happens, I can almost always be found driving with my window down and my music up. Unfortunately for me, I live in Utah. Among other things, this means strangers like to make friends with you at stop lights.
"HEY!"
(Ugh. What's worse? Pretending I don't hear this car full of guys that are an arm's length away, when it's so obvious I can, or actually looking over there?)
"HEY! What are you listening to?"
I glance in their general direction, and toss my hair. Ha. I don't have to talk to anyone.
He grins. "Distuuuurbed?"
I half smirk that he thinks he's so cool.
"It was, wasn't it? Yeeaaaah, it was..."
I just shake my head and wonder what the world is coming to. I reach over and turn up my stereo which has just switched to "Under Pressure".
"Where are you going?!"
(I'm sorry, does that really work? Did you really think I would tell you?)
I stare him in the eyes and simultaneously stomp on the gas as I see the light turn green in my peripheral vision.
Sebastian wins again. Not even close. Poseurs. This is the state I have chosen to live in....(for now)

Very well done Katrina!
What? You didn't look in the car to see who it was? It could have been Adam Lambert and you missed your opportunity! Try to pay attention next time. Gosh!
