I think my looks vary at work and outside of. At work, I’ve had people stammer as I asked them a simple question, and apparently there’s been talk that I keep a whip handy, or some such thing.

But outside, I get anything from a casino guard once trotting me up to Le Toilet in Vegas as he thought I was underage and was left unattended thus presenting me to “Dad” which pissed him off, to in one night in the Maldives having a Brazilian guy desperately trying to seduce me to the point of exposing himself (and me having to hide my amusement at why he bothered considering the er..shortfall) and a few hours later having the Canadian Bird Scientist in the next cottage bang on my door as she was convinced someone was trying to break in through the bathroom.

I have met lovely friends through this, who of course have made up for the nutjobs. Wish there were more hot ones though, that would be so niiiiiccce right now. Sigh.

What would the world be without all these walking untold stories yet undiscovered?? Surely too boring…

But I will not physically meet anybody till aft Tues. I can do that.
Also-
I really have a hard time relating to Hecate. Does anyone have any thoughts on higher qualities, attributes? All the info I can find is all …don’t have good words here… formulaic?, sorcery and dark power based? Stereotypical with of your dark side stuff…
I feel blind in the dark- she is supposed to be good help in the dark- I don’t get dark moons- they are dark…..
Anyway- any original findings that I might be able to look at? I want to try to relate to her….

It is funny how many people think an air of authorata translates into actually knowing what is going on.

I agree with scorpbot, imagine only talking to people you know? I’m respectful of whether someone looks like they’re up for a chat or not, but I find talking to people not in my immediate sphere keeps life fresh. I listen to my gut, and then view strangers mostly as totally different perspectives and experiences all just walking around, untapped. It’s like a living breathing research project where you can corrupt the findings within…as I find it more fun to connect than just view from a distance…

YES FA meeting people enroute to somewhere else is great. I’m not a big talker on planes, but I love the waiting areas. Met some guy from south africa who told me lots of things regarding his business model and how he and his wife operate, made what I learnt at uni much more interesting and vital…same trip met a lady dressed in a neat little peach leather short jacket with peplums. It was like nothing I’ve ever seen before or since and yet she worked it, and had that beautiful southern drawl. You could almost imagine gardenias and honeysuckle popping up in her wake as she walked.

Oh and the trio of ladies from NY. They asked me if I could tell where they were from by their accent. It was so funny I just looked and went um NY city and they were all laughing that someone from halfway from around the world could tell instantly they were from NY. Imagine if I wasn’t ready to smile what I’d miss out on. Hot strangers is a whole different category all of its own. Hmmm.

Very very spic indeed.

Strangers are the spice of life! As Blanche from Streetcar would say “I’ve always relied on the kindness of strangers”

I get the hardcore confessions too but I love that you get the odd little slice of life bits, they make me smile. I think meeting new people en route doing something or going somewhere is one of the best things ever, and I don’t quite understand it when friends tell me they would never dare speak/talk to a stranger.

But doesn’t everyone start out as one? I think it just makes life richer…
