Memory of an unknowing crush 14-May-98 18:38:17
I don't think I've ever related this particular memory on any of the boards. One of the first and best crushes I've witnessed was in my freshman year in college. It was warm out, so I grabbed a medium-sized ant from the sidewalk. Then I went into one of the dorms, and threw the ant right onto the hardwood white floor of the dorm lobby. Luckily the ant wasn't moving too fast. But he was sort of walking somewhere it seems. Some goodlooking girls walked by, none stepped on it. Finally after about five minutes a student's mother, maybe 40, walked into the dorm. I don't remember her face, but she was definitely in good shape body-wise because I do remember her sexy legs. She was dressed in black, with shiny black pumps. It may have been at the beginning of the term, and many parents were around. I can't remember who she was walking with---I was just fixated on her shoes. She approached the ant, who was walking as merrily as anyone walks to the corner convenience store, and stepped exactly right on him as though he was part of the floor. I mean exactly right on him---this is what I most remember. She was also walking quite slowly, I remember. When she finally (it seemed like a long time to me!) lifted up her left foot to continue walking the ant was gone. Stuck to her pump. I followed a little bit behind to see if the ant would fall off onto the floor but he never did. Then she reached a carpeted hallway, and I just remember her saying something like "is this where they put you?". She must have been talking to her son, because they were on a male-only floor, which happened to be a little dingy and not well-lit.
I remember going back to my dorm and fantasizing that I was that now-speck on the bottom of her pump. Ten years later I still remember that black pump very slowly falling exactly on the ant---a slow heavy step. He must of ended up in the exact center of her pump.
