Once again I’m looking out the window and I see people standing on the short pillars that stop cars from driving the path. Interesting. I love when people do things that spark my interest. Usually, you would have to do something pretty weird to grab my attention. Not weird like people doing something obnoxious like a random drunk running through campus naked, but weird as in something different that sparks my intellect.
I like when a random person comes up to talk to me. It shows me that not everyone is putting a wall up. Not small talk though. I kind of hate small talk. It’s an interaction that’s only there to take up a short amount of time to release the sense of awkwardness. What I like is when someone, maybe an older man (like 70) or someone that just looks like a character, strikes up a conversation out of thin air. I was going around campus posting up scavenger hunt hints for my boyfriend’s birthday present, and a guy (looked like a hippie/hipster) asked me what I was advertising. I explained what I was doing, and we ended up talking for a good ten minutes. We saluted each other and then I went on my way. Those kind of things stick with me. Hey, maybe you’ll see me on one of my “Incense on the Oval” days and come join my meditation time. (: Go do something different today. It’s the weekend and prime time for some good ole socialization.
Im not a big fan of small talk, but I think it is interesting to talk to older people. They always have interesting stories and good experiences to share.
ReplyDeleteThey are so interesting...that is, if they aren't the crabby ones who wave their cane at kids in their yard.
