As I was walking back from a store earlier today, I found myself walking past a ridiculous amount of litter lining the side of a gate I had sauntered past.
For one reason or another I found myself focusing on the kinds of trash I walked past. Doritos bag, empty cigarette box, Doritos bag....more Doritos bags lol. It was all becoming rather repetitive so I started focusing on my book again, a collection of Celtic myths entitled Celtic Myths and Legends by Peter Berresford Ellis. A really good book, and the author's introductions to each section is very interesting.
But I digress....
I was almost completely into my book again, when a shimmer caught my eye. I look down. And it turns out to be a Magnum condom wrapper >.>
Of course I was disgusted and thought, why the hell would anyone leave something like this here?
...But then a random voice in my head thought two things.
1) If you were a teenager, and you didn't want to get into trouble with your parents for having premarital sex, would you hide it in the family trash bin? (That question of course was rhetorical and sarcastic, of course that is the last place where i would hide it :p )
2) Perhaps in that moment, it was romantic? In the heat of passion, in the late hours of the night, some young couple made love under the moonlight, and without a care for anything besides the need to feel each other close (and of course to not get the chick pregnant), the wrapper was quickly tossed aside, the condom in place, and love making ensuing...
so yeah...I could see the circumstances of how that condom wrapper got there. In any case, I didn't appreciate it distracting me from my book. >.<
