Daily Encounters
by Nicole
November 28, 2002
I have this wall in my bedroom that
I have at least thirty pictures of Jon glued on. I ran my house out of ink printing
these pictures. I hug that wall everyday. And
I watch The Daily Show too much. I have the TDS embedded into my brain instead
of the vocabulary words I should be learning for class. I start seeing TDS people
everywhere.
We had a career day at our school.
(Career day is when teachers get away with not teaching for a day by choosing
some adult with a "respectable" job to try to woo the students into
their field.) Well, in my English glass there was a guy who created a company
called "Socks Are Optional." Due to a problem with his feet, this
fellow had to wear certain kinds of shoes. Then, one day, he decided to wear
REGULAR shoes WITHOUT socks. Well he decided he liked it that way much better
and hasn't worn socks since except to fancy things such as business meetings.
Who did the guy remind me of? A fat Stephen Colbert!
On another day, I was shopping at
the mall, minding my own business. As I was trying on shoes, I saw someone with
short blonde hair in the aisle across from me. She looked EXACTLY like Nancy
Walls. I had to look twice to make sure it wasn't her. (It wasn't.)
Unfortunately, the one person I want
to see and never see is Jon Stewart. I think it's because there's no one else
remotely like him out there. That is probably for the best. Otherwise, I might
embarrass myself running through a crowd screaming "I LOVE YOU JON!"
So I guess I'm stuck with seeing him only on TV. [Sniff]
I think this submission either proves
my dedication to Jon Stewart and The Daily Show or it just proves that I'm crazy.
