didnt know this for the longest time. oops.
itd actually show up in student class evaluations. one of the best ones i ever had was "he's really sexy, but kind of evil at first"... i laughed my arse off. im sure "sexy" and "evil" are key words that the arts and science department looks for in student evals... but others had said the same...that at first they thought i was "intimidating" or "mean" until they came in for help...
anyway... so im trudging up a hill toward my car. a long nights work carried in my bag. classes have just changed over and theres some traffic, but mostly im just marching a beeline to my ride. slight scowl in tow.
suddenly a woman stops right in front of me, headed toward me, forcing me to stop and look at her. she wasnt there, and then *bam* she was, like a wall. shes tall, jamaican, beautiful deep skin, she smiles and she says in a thick accent
"you should smile more.... you are a very handsome man when you do"...
and just as fast as she was there she walks around me and away before i knew what just hit me.
it was awesome.
ill never forget that voice so abruptly ruining my sour mood. and i never saw her again. better believe i looked for her.
