The Situation

Well hello blog readers! I want to give you a hypothetical situation and see what you think about it. Remember; completely hypothetical. (And also hypothetically 'you' are a male)

Okay first imagine yourself sitting down in a van. It's a pretty big van that can fit up to 15 passengers in it with 3 people in each row. You sit by the window and then are joined by two girls. The girl directly to the right of you immediately sits down begins to adjust the air vent on the roof of the van so that it hits her. You then protest that she is hogging all the air, to which she replies "We were playing racquetball and I'm a cool kid and I wear jeans to the gym so I need some good cold air". You get slightly frustrated, but not in the bad kind of way just sort of playing around, and you push the vent so that it closes. The girl then glares at you, also jokingly, and then proceeds to reopen the vent so that the air goes to her.

After this, you hear the girl next to you begin to talk about how it would be a fun job to drive around students at night to which the girl farther away from you replies that it wouldn't go well because everyone would get lost. You laugh a little bit as you continue to listen and their conversation starts to get very strange. There is a sort of momentary silence, but it isn't long before the girl next to you says "It would be funny if the markings on this van faded and then they went to pick someone up who called for the van and just stopped next to the person and said 'Get in the van'". The girl farther from you laughs hysterically at this comment.

After the laughing fades away, she pulls out her phone and starts flipping through pictures that she has. The girl next to you asks the other girl if she happens to have any pictures of cheese on her phone, to which the response is that it would be a very strange thing to have a picture of cheese on your phone. The girl next to you then is punny and says that everyone should take a picture of cheese at some point, especially if it's very holey. Now as the other girl is flipping through her pictures, the girl who is next to you starts cracking up at one of them. She then says "You criticize people who would have a picture of cheese on your phone yet you have a picture of a watermelon on yours?!" which causes both girls to laugh hysterically.

Then the girl next to you turns to face you and tells you what just happened which you think is funny and you also begin to laugh. She then asks you whether you prefer cheese or watermelon to which you side with her and say that it would would be better to have a picture of cheese than have one of watermelon. A semi-serious conversational debate about watermelon vs cheese then ensues which you watch with great enjoyment because the argument is so pointless and incoherent that it's hilarious. Then the van stops and one of the girls has to get out because it's her stop, but before she leaves she says to you "Well it was nice creeping you out random stranger". Then she walks out of the van leaving you and the other girl in that row.

What kind of first impression would you get of those two girls? I actually really want to know what someone would think of people. Y'know if they did that. But remember here; completely hypothetical.

Okay fine, so I was that girl, the one sitting next to 'you'. I don't even know what came over me, but I was just acting strange tonight so I was actually being outgoing. I included a random guy in an even more random conversation, and I didn't get a strange look on his face. I do kind of wonder if he thought we were the weirdest people he's ever eavesdropped on in his life, but he didn't seem to think we were extremely crazy. I actually wish I could be like that more often; I'd like if people's first impressions of me were more like that. That way I'd never ever have to try to pretend to be normal, because it's just not fun. I mean if I can start a conversation about cheese vs watermelon and actually get someone to participate in it I think that person would be worth talking to more. It's too bad I never got that guy's name though... Oh well. I'll just call him "cheese guy".

(Also, I have no idea if anybody will get the reference made in the title and if they do they will be shocked that I would even reference something so stupid or even know enough about it to be able to reference it in the first place)
