First day of school, I got on the bus to go to UNM, sat near the front, put in my headphones and stared out the window. Then i hear this person ask if he can sit next to me. i look up and see some guy in a army tshirt and sweats and say "um sure". i look out the window again and make a point out of turning up the volume on my ipod so he wont talk to me. but as soon as hes setteled, he shoves his hand in my face and introduces himself as Bobby. now he has really bad announciaion and im pretty sure he was slightly retarded so i was nice and shook his hand and told him my name. trying to get my anti-social nature across i again stare out the window and turn away from him, but he proceeds to ask me about my major and starts rambling about CNM and a bunch of other stuff i cant understand because of his speech impediment or something. now i look like the retard cause im constantly saying "what?" and "huh" and smiling like an idiot hoping he gets sick of a one sided conversation and leaves me alone. finally some other person across from us interests him and he leaves me in peace. Hooray!! but just when i think this awkward bus ride is about to end, he asks me if i will be back on thursday at the same time. i gave him a vague maybe which he then got all excited about and told me i would be his best friend on the bus and that he would sit by me again on thursday :(.......i gave him an awkward smile/grimace.... theeennnnnn i was relieved to be getting off the bus when i find him standing outside the bus door watiting for me!!! AAHHGGG!!! he had his hand out like he was gonna offer me help down so i fidgeted with my backpack to look busy as i got off then i tried to walk past him but he walked in front of me and was like "it was nice meeting you jess" and tried to take my hand again so i mumbled a "sure" and brushed past him, feeling awful for being mean to a retard and kinda creeped out cause he called me jess instead of jessica :( but life goes on. however, now i have to get on the bus earlier just to avoid my new bff. :P fml

OH MY GOSH. I totally work(ed) with that guy. He's not retarded. He got injured in a firefighting accident, from what I heard. He's a suuuuuuuuper nice guy...but he likes talking to girls your age. And, like, no one else. If I were you, to avoid uncomfortable conversations all the time, just try to avoid him. He's a nice guy and a Christian, but he is mos def a talker.
