This is a rather brief story, I do believe my good friends Nsh, Sarah, Jaime, Stacey and Graden if he even knows I have a blog will appreciate this at the very least.
As I was walking out the front doors of good ol Universidad del Belgrano with my friend Kelly (who, if she's not sick of my obsession with my beautiful home, she will be soon) when my eyes spotted a fool-proof sign of home in the near distance: A LIVING ROOM SHIRT!!! I was filled with blind euphoria, didn't quite calculate my actions, and ended up pointing in his direction with a goofy/crazy smile pasted to my face as I approached him. The approach was a good 20 yards mind you. He didn't see me until I was basically on top of him and in my great excitement all I could utter was "You!" as I pointed to the shirt. I finally got out "are you from SD???" I was so excited, I couldn't wait to bond with someone over something so dear to me, just seeing the emblem got me all warm and fuzzy inside. To my dismay, he replies "no, I was just on vacation, I went to TJ and on my way up I stopped here." I should have known, below the familiar picture of a punk boy and a old grandma was written 'Old Town'. Clearly tourist. I tried to explain to him my relationship with the shop to try and cover for the crazy way I had acted. I don't think it worked, he thinks I'm insane. I'm pretty sure Kelly does too as she was witness to the whole thing.
