So weird that you could cut the tension with a knife. Maybe it’s just me but have you ever been in a situation where the atmosphere gets so weird and kind of scary? I was just thinking today (so what else is new?) about an experience I had.
I remember long ago I picked up a woman hitchhiker. I was going to work but I had some time to kill and I was a lot more spontaneous than I am now. I think I was about 25 years old. The woman was cute and the city was very nice and affluent and a safe place to live. To be honest, I was very young and maybe the thought of sex crossed my mind but I never make first moves with women, I wait til they make the first move. But I thought I would pick her up and see where it goes.
You couldn’t pay me enough to pick up a hitchhiker now.
I was a little wary of her but she seemed fine with me. And then she broke out a joint. So we smoked it and I got pretty stoned and we were talking and then things got weird. Scary weird. I started getting paranoid about her. She was 30 years old and kind of a hard chick. I was trying to maintain my composure and pot back then made me not only paranoid but anxious. It almost felt like I was on acid. I don’t know if she felt the same way but we drove along and I just wanted her out of my car. I suddenly got keenly aware that she was a stranger. The atmosphere was scary and weird but after about ten minutes I got her to where she wanted to go and dropped her off.
I had to go to work and I was totally freaked out. I had to gather my composure and calm down and I regretted smoking the joint because I knew it would have exactly that affect on me. But we don’t always do what’s good for us.
