I do not like them, Sam I am!

I don't believe that I told anyone this, but about 2 weeks ago I was walking down the street, talking to my mom on the phone. Usually, I cut through the large field right by Wyview because I can get home a bit faster that way, but today I was thinking that I might get a Jamba Juice. Anyway, I was talking to my mom and walking through that little plaza area that has Jamba Juice when I saw this walk towards me:




I have to confess: I did double-take. I'm not used to characters from my childhood books walking down the street towards me when it's not Halloween, when I'm not asleep, and when I haven't been eating anything funky. I mean, I know that some could say that I'm slightly eccentric and/or a little weird at times, but last time I checked, I don't hallucinate.

I passed them on the little sidewalk, trying hard not to laugh at them as they pranced (yes, they pranced) by me. My mom started asking why I was so quiet and laughed when I told her who I had seen.

Actually, talking about these people remind me of another person who I saw when I was walking home from school. I was heading down the ramp by Helaman Halls when I saw someone walking towards me. At first, when it was far away, I thought it was a girl, but after a second or two I realized that it wasn't a girl, but a guy dressed completely in girl's clothes. He wore large lens, white, plastic sunglasses, girl's jeans, girl's shoes, a girl's low-cut V neck t-shirt, and a baby-blue small hoodie with the hood pulled up over his head. I'm sure I was making a funny face at him as he walked by. He may have looked like a girl from far away, but up close his 5 o'clock shadow gave him away.
