I couldn't place him. Then half way through I realized that he was in the intro science class I was a teaching assistant for. <BR/><BR/>It just really threw me that the geeky guy from class was going to a bellydance show. <BR/><BR/>I figured asking him during class if he liked the bellydance show wasn't exactly the thing to do... perhaps I should have?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-58141454499825671202007-08-22T11:12:00.000-05:002007-08-22T11:12:00.000-05:00I had the same thought.
