Scratches on a scroll

Have you ever forgotten the face or the name of the person you just met and when he or she walks up to you for the second time maybe later in the day or some other day, you go, "Ah, have I met you before? I'm so sorry but what was your name again?"? It's very embarrassing, especially if the other person remembered your name. (^.^)

Luckily, that did not happen to me in uni, yet.

For the past couple of days, my mind has been playing a few scenarios in which I end up making a goof of myself. And you know, I always get the feeling that I WILL somehow do something so silly it'll make the dancing monkey roll on the floor and laugh its hairy ass off.

Being the clumsy fool that I am, I could have tripped from the top of the staircase and cause an unwanted domino effect or accidentally knock a cyclist from his or her bike or spill water all over my top or have toilet paper stuck to my shoe or call out to some stranger thinking that I knew who the fella was. Heh.

I know that even though I try to be more cautious, some minor accidents can't be avoided, you know, all the tripping and stuff. However, I don't think it'll be that much of a problem for me to try and remember faces of the new people I meet! =D Hehe.. Don't get me wrong, I don't normally have problems in faces (ok, maybe I do, sometimes..) but you see, I'm not used to looking at Caucasians all over the place (and the uni is so darn huge, I might never bump into the same person at the same place ever again!) and to me, most of them look the same.

There goes a tall blonde blue-eyed boy there and oh look! Another one there and another and another and another... Hmmm... Are they the same people I wonder? =S

Heh. I'm pretty sure they feel the same way too when they look at us Asians. XD

But anyway, I try to remember their names and faces by recognizing certain facial features or outstanding characteristics. I'll maybe take note that so-and-so has dark bob cut hair and beautiful green eyes or so-and-so has multiple piercings on her face (and tongue) or so-and-so is over 6 feet tall, thin but geeky, you get the idea.

Thankfully the people I met aren't the ordinary looking people and I actually recognised them straight away. Haha!

Oh but the interesting bit was that I spotted some people who actually look like famous celebs! XD

A girl I saw at the Student Services Centre looks like Emily Prentiss from Criminal Minds (she even had the same nose shape and haircut!), I saw an Asian version of Chuck from Gossip Girl, a blonde version of Zac Efron in my Introductory Microeconomics lecture, and the coolest lookalike is my Accelerated Math lecturer who looks like David Beckham from afar!! I'm not joking! I tried to take a shot but couldn't. Maybe next time? =D

Ok, so they're just people who I saw that walked past my way but well, it's people like that who actually make the little things in life a bit more exciting!

Heh! XD
