Ugh. So my head hurts today. Not majorly, not anything like it did before or the day after I had three sodas (not doing that again) but enough that I notice it and it bothers me. It might be that I maybe forgot my pills yesterday but I'm not sure if I did or not. Anyway that's not what I wanted to post about. That's a whole new level of fun.

Yesterday I went swinging at about 7:30. I've posted before about the park that I go to as being kind of shady (saw a joint right by the swings one day, there was an incident as I was living a few years back where about 5 or 6 police cars pulled up, stuff goes on after dark) but I figured as long as I got back before dark I was gonna be safe.

So it's about a five minute walk to the park and then once I get there well I notice there are two guys- one on one side of the park, I think he yelled something but I couldn't make it out and didn't know if he was talking to me so whatever. He was gone when I started heading back so he's inconsequential. The other guy was maybe in his 50s or so and he was leaning against the playground set. This creeps me out. I don't see any kids playing so he's just there on his own.

O.K., creeped out but I can book it if something comes up. I'm thinking I passed several guys working on a yard so if I have to I can scream for help and make a break for it.

So I go up to the swings and start swinging. Not five minutes after I get into it creepy guy walks over and then when he reaches the swings asks me "Did you go to the tea party?"

And I'm just... what the hell? I mean what? Seriously? Why is he over here asking me about that stupid "teabagging" (insert snicker) thing? Is this some weird come on and he'll try and drag me off and rape me?

So after asking "what?" and him repeating the question my first response is "fuck no" because- I mean, still looking back on it my reaction is just "what the hell?"

So then he walks around in front of the swings and asks if I knew what the tea party was about. And I ignore him because the hell. Go away creepy guy! Go awaaaay! And he briefly explains about taxes being baaad (eyeroll) and then I just tell him "I'd like to be alone, mister." because dude- swing time is zen time. I don't even like to talk to cute little kids during swing time (actually cute little kids turn into annoying kids during swing time because I have to make sure they don't run in front of me). So then he says something that I think was (it's hard to hear when you're swinging) "Do you have a problem with Republicans?" and I just ignored him. I think he said something more and kind of gestured down the path out of the park and walked off.

After he's walked out of sight I see down the park that there's a CAR there so I'm thinking "awwww fuck. If he's getting a gun of chloroform or something I'm in trouble." So now that he's out of sight- he can't see me- no one else is in the park now so I just stop swinging and jog out of the park (which ow, out of shape, need to fix) and quickly walk back home.
