Almost a good day

My dear sweet J came in to the library today wearing a yellow tutu over top of his clothes. While he actually looked quite lovely in the outfit, I dared to ask why - and he said that he lost a bet to his sister and this was his punishment. He wouldn't tell me what the bet was. This is the same 13 year old boy who is "unsure" about his sexuality, and often talks to me about his "friend" who is gay and how mean people are to him at school. While on some days he raves about loving Sunny Moore, the male leader singer for an Emo band, he also spends equal time talking about cute girls at his school, which has prompted the majority of kids to call him bisexual, a title which I am yet to determine if he likes or not. But what I want to know is if he is really so concerned about his sexual identity, why would he go to school, ALL DAY LONG, wearing a yellow tutu? Silly, silly boy. Although it may have just been an attempt to get attention, and in that case, it really did work!

Also today, S brought in a copy of a trashy teen movie that I starred in as an extra back in the late 90s ... this kid has one of the best memories ever. I once told him about my Norwegian friend from my travels in South America and about how he liked to say things like "We go - we go now" or Ya-ya , no-no" or my favourite (which he said when we made a pit stop after many hours of driving in Southern Argentina), "I don't have to go now but maybe I try to squeeze a little bit of pee out", and more than 6 months later, not only did I hear S saying "we go, we go now" but he even remembered the name of my Norwegian friend! Anyways I suppose S remembered me telling him about Disturbing Behaviour so he rented it with his mom, found the parts with me, and brought the DVD to the library and would not leave me alone until I promised to put it on our big screen tv. I agreed, but only to the specific parts with me in it so we whouldn't have to watch the whole godforsaken thing, and many of the teens (and the pretentious guy who I used to like who still loves to mock me) all had a great laugh at my expense. One of them said that I was the second famous person that he had met, the first being Hayden Christiansen, to which I said uh, I think he is a little more famous than me. My name wasn't even on the credits!
