encounter with the weird kind2002-07-02 11:54 a.m. it's funny how i always meet weirdos. they seem to be attracted to me for some weird, cosmic reason.
i met another weird one today, when i was walking the dog. another thing, many weird things happen when i walk the dog. there has to be a connection here somehow... so, the weirdo opened with asking if my dog is my dog, which i replied with a polite "yes" before i got jerked away by the very excited dog. then weirdo followed us and asked if i work (do i look like such a slacker that even weird ones can see through me?), i replied that i'm a full-time tutor, he asked what's a full-time tutor, i said that's giving tuition full-time (duh?). At this point i was getting a little freaked out. he asked if that's teaching, where am i teaching, and out of nowhere, he asked if i'm married! i stood on the grass, not knowing if i should laugh hysterically or convulse and faint. then i did what most human beans would do, i replied with a curt "no". dog decided to tug me to the other corner of the extremely small grasspatch. weirdo decided to follow again and asked for my name. i gave it to him. that seemed to please him and he thought he should get going. is this a punishment from the karma gods? am i going to get what they think i deserved? i'm now fearing for my life. how will it all turn out? tune in to the next episode of 'encounters with the weird kind'! **************************************** 11.57pm like i said, it's a weird day. i was on a bus, on my way home when this indian lady, who was sitting beside me gestured drinking and pointed to the water bottle i was holding. i pointed to the bottle and had a huge question mark on my face. she nodded and i passed the bottle to her. she drank some water from it and promptly returned the bottle to me. i took the bottle from her, asked her if that was enough. She smiled and gestured 'no more'. that's a first for me. i mean, how many of you out there have experienced that? met another weird one in the evening when i was out sourcing for phone prices. this one was physically weird... she has huge breasts. i'm not even talking about double d size. they're about the exact same size as a honeydew. no kidding! i was staring. i think she must have gotten used to stares like that from runways like me, so she didn't even bat an eyelid. Weird days like this just get to me. |
