I must *look* harmless enough...
I don't know what it is that people think about me, but I am constantly stopped to get asked for directions, people start conversations with me on the LRT, etc., etc. I guess I look like I don't bite? Apparently appearances are deceiving... Anyway, I had a seven minute (yes, I timed it) conversation with a woman on the LRT yesterday. Why, you ask? She asked about my shoes (who knew $20 Payless shoes were a conversation starter?) and then proceeded to tell me her life story. And this wasn't one of those crazy-as-bat-shit loonies, it was actually what seemed to be a normal person. Then, this morning, I somehow managed to get into a conversation with some guy in my office building...this wouldn't be a particularily noteworthy event for most people, but I'm betting most of you know how anti-social I am. It took 20 minutes before I could sneak away with some excuse of a meeting... So? Do I look particulary non-threatening? Talkative? What?!? Sigh. Liberated at 10:14 a.m. | |
