Green Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 A friend, J, and I were browsing at Blockbuster, looking for a movie we could watch for the night. J is very tall and thin with dark brown hair. He has big, warm brown eyes and a really nice smile; he is actually really attractive, but he would be more so if he grew out his hair a bit and gained some fashion sense. It's an endearing lack of fashion sense, though! (Just like my shallowness is endearing. I hope.)Anyway, we were walking down the aisle near the new release shelves. I was closest to the shelf, glancing between the available movies and J, who was walking slightly behind me and to the left. "Did you know that there's a suburb near Paris called Orly?" I asked."O RLY?" he said, raising his eyebrows."YA RLY," I responded.We snickered for a while, and I returned to looking at the movies. With my eyes still on the movies, I asked, "Hey, would you rather rent A Clockwork Orange? I kind of feel like watching it."I didn't hear a response, so I turned around and looked slightly to my left. "J?" I asked.I looked at him and saw immediately he was about to sneeze. His eyebrows were raised again, but instead his expression looked slightly panicked rather than joking. His eyes were watering, red, and partly hooded. His nostrils were pink and flaring. I was amazed that such a transformation could have happened in so short a time. He raised his finger to indicate to me that he would answer my question in a moment.I couldn't look away, but I couldn't look directly at him either. My gaze skittered away from him, but it eventually wandered back to his face.As his fist wavered near his lightly parted lips, his breath hitched: "Hih ... hih! HIH!"He finally succumbed and sneezed harshly into his fist, bending over at the waist: HEH-ISHAUOO! heh-HEH-ISHOooo!"He straightened up and looked at me, blinking his eyes rapidly. "Whoa, sorry.""It's okay. Bless you, " I smirked."Yeah, A Clockwork Orange is fine, " he answered my previous question.We rented the movie and watched it. Unfortunately, there were no more sneezes, but it was a fun, relaxing night anyway. Link to comment

count tiszula Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yes, terrific obs; lovely detail of the eyes and nostril work. More soon, I hope.Course I don't understand the Orly joke , but then we pronounce it Awly. Link to comment
Green Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yes, terrific obs; lovely detail of the eyes and nostril work. More soon, I hope.Course I don't understand the Orly joke , but then we pronounce it Awly.Oh, it was a terrible joke -- so don't worry. It was a reference to the O RLY owls, which were a big Internet phenomenon. (http://www.orlyowl.com/) Orly looks textually similar. I ... don't know why the owls were so popular. Link to comment
