Random person meeting
Random person meeting I was waiting for some lunch from a food truck, and a pretty woman asked me what number I had. To my good fortune, it was "69" so I said so, and added that "it seems like an auspicious number, but perhaps not right now." She laughed and blushed (in body language, her skin tone was too dark to tell if blood actually rushed to her face). We then chatted about work, COVID-19, food, the weather, and where we were from. She said she could tell I was born "in the north, because of your accent." Given I've lived north of the Mason-Dixon for all but 2 years of my life up to now, that was funny to me. After all, based on the dictionary, I speak with a very mild accent compared to the "book pronunciation" - only a scholar could probably tell the difference. She had the typical Alabama dialect, where "why" is pronounced "wah" and "no" is pronounced "nah" but she was fun to talk to and attractive too, and I think we both felt good about making a human connection. (I'd do her in a heartbeat if she gave consent, but that seems unlikely given I don't even know exactly what office she's in so it would be difficult to find excuses to talk to her. I'm not a<b> stalker </font></b>by nature, so that is right out.) I guess the upshot is, it really doesn't matter what you talk about, it is the actual making of connection and community with other human beings that is important, and makes life worthwhile. Nothing changes faster than the speed of love. - Rush |
