the new me

One of the people at the Timothy House said the greatest thing to me today. We were walking up the basement stairs and he asked if I ever did any skateboarding when I was younger. That's a weird question, I thought; he can't be serious. I replied with a wary and surprised "no" - aside from my yellow Banana Board from when I was 6 or something (remember that, Em?). And then I asked, "Do I look like a skater?" and he totally thought I did! He said something about my demeanor and the way my hair fell across my eyes looking very skaterish. "No way!" I said. "Yeah!" he said. Then my friend Amanda chimed in, verifying this apparent "hipness", as she put it, that I wasn't aware of having. I think I can honestly say that I've never been involved in such a conversation before. I think I'd like to have a skater alias; any suggestions?
