Me: It's weird when I catch people staring at me and as soon as I look at them they avert their gaze [as if their eyes were just passing by me].
Corey: Yea. But, I'm more concerned about those that don't avert their eyes when I catch them, and they just continue staring at me. [As he bored his eyes into me, a lifeless expression displayed on his face in imitation of those people.]
That was probably one of the funnier things I'd heard as of recent. To put it into context, I'm kind of tall and don't dress like a very good Egyptian for my age, but I do have black hair and a beard and might pass for something other than American, perhaps Arab. Corey, however, has no escape route. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed, with pretty white skin. To picture him, think stereo typical German, or Swiss, or Austrian, or something similar.
You kind of get used to heads turning in your direction...

Oh yes, the stares. To add to that, it's only the males to stare continually. The females most always look away, or at least smile.
ReplyDeleteI just about died laughing reading this because I KNOW that Corey look. He doesn't just make it to imitate staring Egyptians. That's a Corey look.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the like button on these comments?! and haha!, now that I think about I think you're right, that could be characterized as a quintessential Corey look!
ReplyDeleteWe're so used to facebook, it's ridiculous. I try to "like" things all over the internet.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am completely with each of these comments, because I could 100% see Corey doing this look (actually I've caught myself laughing about that mental picture long after reading this post) AND I wanted to show my delight in this post and others with a convenient little button that wasn't there.
