What do you do when that special someone walks into your life and you fail to notice or respond to them? You may notice them as they walk into the room and something urges you to do something...but another little voice tells you to stop. You avoid contact with that person through out the rest of your initial encounter with all your might and get sick to your stomach when the time you have to make contact has passed. "Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid..." (Joshua 1:5) is overshadowed by, "What if they don't like me or laugh at me..." Your one chance has passed and you never know if you will ever see Raccoon Girl again.
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009. Sacremento, CA. X-men Origins: Wolverine...(decent film btw...check out movie reviews!) The movie is about to start...and in she walks...Raccoon Girl. We don't know anything about her other than she is bubbly and wearing a rad raccoon ski cap. (which i want...) I put fear aside and yelled across the full theatre, "Sweet hat, Raccoon Girl!"
my bravery was rewarded with a smile. Well, Wolvie went on to kick butt, and as many left the theatre early, (WHICH YOU SHOULD NEVER DO! *spoiler*) i began the trek out, only to see some sweet rain galloshes...on the feet of Raccoon Girl! I bid her a fond farewell not knowing if I'd ever see her again...
Top down on the convertable, cruising off into the afternoon guided by Creed on the radio. Memories of Raccoon Girl flood into my mind, Oh, what a day...when to my suprise, i looked into the left turn lane and who was in the passenger seat of that Passat? None other than Raccoon Girl! with only seconds left to share one last moment, she rolled down her window and sent me a radiant smile, I waved and said my final farewell and drove away...to Sonic for a Ball Kicking Cherry Lime-aid! (for more information head to my Food blog!)
The moral of the story? Never be afraid to follow your heart and never fear what the world will say, your Raccoon Girl may be sitting across the room from you right now, but if she is digging thru your garbage she might be a real raccoon...and you don't want to touch those...they got rabies.
