Wow..at First Sight

How much can you tell about someone in the first few seconds of seeing her?

I live off campus. Wherever I want to go on campus, I go to the nearest point (to my house) on campus and catch the internally run campus bus there. The bus goes trough the under graduate dorms picking up gals(and I guess guys also, who are busy staring at the gals, the moment they step on) along the way. Its a treat to the eyes. Its worth the time spent waiting for the bus.

Last Friday night, at around 8pm, I was returning home from the recreational centre and took the recreational route. On board, I am always well prepared to get impressed by the looks of a cool undergrad gal; but would never expect to be impressed by other aspects of their personalities. After all you can not make out much from their chitchat. Apparently, this ride happens to be different.

This girl boarded the bus at the next stop to mine. She had a football with her, after she entered the bus and before I could envy her for playing soccer, she dropped some metallic object, which I realised was an asthma inhaler. She picked it up and took the medication and started chatting with a couple of her acquaintance. As additional information, it was around one to two degree centigrade outside and it was drizzling.

In retrospect, how many things about her did impress me. She was a normal white girl, not any great looks, so not any impressed by that. But then she was going to play soccer. Women playing soccer; thats the topmost on my turn-on list. As if that is not enough, this woman is going out on a freezing and drizzling night. Thats the cream on the cake. This is inspite of the fact that she has asthma. I mean how passionate she must be about the game. (I would not credit her for this, soccer is like that. Only if I had a group of friends whom I can join on a Friday night for a game of football in the drizzle, dressed from foot to toe in athletic gear!)

One might wonder, is SHE nuts? to go out on a feezing night, to play a traditionally men's game? in the rain? That too when she has asthma? I wondered 'woooooooooow', this female IS Kool!
