meet eva

sitting at the bar. start chatting with the bartender, luke. cool guy. i'm drinkin a beer now... this girl sits down next to me; orders some pink cocktail. she says something to me. i don't know what, so i smile. i'm sipping my beer staring at a football game on the tv. it's really mesmerizing when you haven't watched tv in so long. she breaks my attention; asks me to watch her drink for her while she goes outside real quick. i do. nothing happens. she comes back and thanks me. i say, "not a problem. i did have to fend off that big burly guy over there though..." and point to a grizzly trucker dude at the end of the bar, playing video poker. she doesn't hear me though. i repeat it, but it's not even funny to me anymore. so, she starts talking to me now. tells me her name is eva. now i notice eva isn't looking at me while we talk; she's looking down at the ground. i'm having a hard time understanding anything her forehead is saying. lots of me leaning over asking, "hold on, say that again..." some time goes by. i order my second beer. she's already on her 3rd cocktail. eventually, i catch that she's left her glasses at home and can't really see all that well. this might explain why she's been staring at my bar stool and not my pretty face. she says she only lives a block down the road though, so getting blind drunk isn't much of a worry for her. so, i'm staring at the tv, talking with luke, eva and i chat every couple minutes. she gets up again and has me watch her drink once more. no jokes about it this time. but then... (remember she's partially blind and tipsy) she says (fargo accent)... do you know who you look like? who? keanu reeves. i look at her and i heard her just fine; but ask "hold on say that again..." she continues, it's really uncanny how much you two look alike. it's like i'm sitting at a bar with keanu reeves. i think i about it? keanu reeves? never heard that one before. tell her as much. so we shoot the shit some more and then she stumbles out to meet some friends.

now, as i'm looking up pictures of keanu reeves, i think she may have been on to something. there is a slight resemblance? what do you think no way! or yah, dude!?
