australia, asia, america: the triple threat

tonight was a marvelous night, and you don't even have to ask me why-- cuz i'm gunna tell ya!

so after being blown off by three different sources of companionship, i decided to go loner tonight to agora. i figured, hey, i've got my computer, i've got my camera... i'll just get there and keep myself busy. i get situated and see some good views of a few good angles, and start snapping away.
a few minutes into my little "shoot," this australian guy leans down to me (i'm on the floor at this point) and asks what i'm doing, if i'm for a magazine, and if so, which one?-- i explained that, no, i'm shooting for myself, and that next semester i was aspiring to attend the art institute of houston to become a graphic designer. he thought that was pretty interesting and asks me a whole bunch of questions about how interested in the field i am, how much i've done, how i like it so far, yadda yadda yadda-- well, then he tells me that he, himself was a graphic design artist-- so i was like, cool-- what a coincidence.
then he invited me over to chat with him and his wife--
well, by the middle of the conversation, the couple decided they liked my personality and confidence a whole lot and that i'd do really well in graphic design. so the guy gives me his card, tells me that if i should want an internship, and/or an eventual job to get a hold of him.
i was already floored by that...
but then his wife was like, "wait, don't you think that she'd do well at our other place?" (a tennis clothing design company they started as partners)... a few words later, this couple was actually arguing over where i should go for my internship that hasn't happened yet!!
well, the time came for them to go, and they gave me hugs each and took their leave.
i looked at the guy's card after they walked away...
he told me he was a graphic designer... what he didn't tell me was that he was the fucking senior art director of his company...
AHHHHH!

so my "thrilled" levels are officially through the roof...
i am, indeed excited to simply be alive right now...
