snap smack(le) sing

I'm sitting at Bean Town (aka My New Favorite Coffee Shop).
I'm sharing a table with a man.
The XM radio is set to a non-stop-60s-classics station.
At E V E R Y song, the man sings one line. its amazing. i love it. he is just singing. in a packed coffee shop. full of strangers. this is good. this is progress. this is freedom from inhibitions.

Last night i went to a super fun party! I danced so much, my feet fell off when i got home! don't ask me how i got to Bean Town, i'm really not sure. God must be on my side if i'm getting places without my feet. I saw the ghetto blashter. it was grand and we got our dance on.

(now the man is snapping. fantastic!)

currently, i am engaged in a battle. me vs the books. there is no love in this battle field. there is only angst and malaise. a plan of action is being discussed: hit the books or HIT the books.

my love for Forever 21 increased tremendously yesterday. i remember when forever 21 was only a place to buy basics- undershirts for 4 bucks, solid colored long sleeved shirts for 5 bucks, sweatshirts for 9 bucks. amazing deals but the rest of the stuff was... well, questionable. yesterday i was BLOWN AWAY! its my new fave store. what a selection. i got this beautiful shirt that looks like it's covered in peacock feathers.

(ok now the man is smacking his mouth trying to get sandwich out from his teeth.... i liked you more when you sang and snapped)

My love is coming home tonight from a LONG trip. N - i missed you and you wouldn't believe how much i love you. I wish i didn't have finals i would drive to see you now. :( wednesday will just have to do. love you tremendously.

(ok seriously man. stop smacking. toothpicks solve this problem in silence.)
(alex. lose the hostility.)

(wait now he's doing it in rhythm! - - smack - - - smack - - smack - - - smack - - smack - - - smack...)

oh. and facebook's semi-new application "people you may know" is realllllly inaccurate.
people i may now include:
Joel Barish - yes. that same regretful-memory-erasing Joel Barish from Eternal Sunshine. i swear. his default picture is him. (i wish i knew him!)
random woman. we have ZERO friends in common. how could I know you?
random girl. you are friends with friends of friends. i do not know you.
i am not opposed to knowing any of you, i just seriously do not know you.

(an update 7:22 pm: he is singing snapping AND smacking still. oh and he JUST swayed a little bit to Wipe Out.)
(7:23. he knows all the words to A Hard Day's Night... "it's been a hard day's night.... (sway sway snap) and i've been working (smacking) like a dog.... smack -- smack -- smack -- smack -- smack...)
(7:24. the straw is being used as a toothpick. BUT the smacking continues.)
hello again (7:32. there is another HALF to that sandwich. and now there is smacking while chewing. this is too much.)
(7:55. the snapping, smacking, singing, swaying man is no more - but the 60's vibrations are still.)
