Hiding From Your Problems

Now, don't let the title fool you. This isn't some sort of 'deep' post created Oprah styles to convince you to grow up, face your problems through a series of events where running away from your troubles resulted in more problems and a life lesson. Oh no - that's just not my style.

So it all began about 30 minutes ago. I finished my last exam *hoorah!* and wa walking outside towards the bagel shop, the sun was shining, every where was a atmosphere of hope for what the summer might bring off set by a certain drunken stupour characteristic of the end of year. Life was perfect, and innocent. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around and a horror so unimaginable in its grotesque nature that words could not describe it - Andrew. *shudders* He is a communist/punkrock/anti-establishment dirtbag who became obsessed with me last year in a philosophy class. Since that class he has emailed me about 70 times with proposals for marraige and highly innapropriate sex acts involving midgets and helpless animals. I thought I had finally lost him but there he was - a spectre of my past. His hair was matted, probably with the blood of his other female victims, his shirt covered in .holes which read 'I (heart) Boobs', and he carried with him that wonderfully pungent odour of 75 year old homeless man. He followed me to the bagel shop bantering on about something - im not exactly sure what I was busy looking for the nearest escape route - which I found, the ladies washroom. I ran in waited for about 10 minutes walked out looked around and I heaved a sigh of relief cause he was gone. Or so I thought. The next thing I hear is "Where you taking a dump?! You were in there for soo long!" it was shouted more than said, in the middle of about 30 other students. I was mortified made up some excuse of having to go to the library and darted off. I could hear him following me so I bolted - literally RAN to the nearst stairwell and hid for 20 minutes beneath the stairs cowering in fear.

This is why, ladies and gentlemen, my new saying shall be: "Ha! I laugh in the face of awkward danger - Then I run and hide until it goes away"
