sadhu.blogspot.com presents.....news of the weird:
2:00 pm, at work, conversation in an elevator:
elevator doors open.. i step in side, smile and nod at the guy already in there
him: Rene, how's it going?
me: Sadhana, done for the day- so extremely well, how're you?
him: OH my god! that is so amazing
me: um, pardon?
him: your name, you look exactly- EXACTLY- like i'd picture a sadhana to look!!
(gay?)...................(on a side note, good to know my look doesn't scream "humphrey!"...and on an aside to my side note, 'a sadhana'??? wtf?!?)
him: anyway, i'm doing well...fabulous shoes by the way, i love the red.
(um, let's go with a 'yes')
him: so hey, i've been meaning to ask- you're new here right?, would you like to join me for some coffee or something, lunch, if ever you don't have plans?
(woah, straight?)
me: oh, well i usually eat on the run, but thank you!
him: no matter, just let me know if ever you're free....it was nice meeting you, and, again, totally loving the shoes.
(no no, most assuredly gay- *BIG sigh*)
me: haha, well pass along your size and i'll get you a pair, take care
........
several hours later- 8:00 pm- at the grocery store loading up on juice, etc... in my mighty mouse pjs and a hoodie, standing in line to check out the oddities continue:
indian dude behind me: hey are you stalking me???
me: huh??
desi ka romeo: oh, i'm sorry i thought you were someone else!!
me: (awkward) ha, no matter...
dkr: you go to asu?
me: yes
drk: you go to asu and you live all the way down here???
me: hmm...yes, it's not that bad
("all the way down here" is about 8 miles away)
drk: oh man, you should live closer!
me: yes, i suppose i should, it's really not that bad though
drk: but it's such a waste of gas and i'm sure you'll be closer to the social circuit
me: i get by, the commute doesn't break the bank- besides
drk: well, i live closer... aren't you jealous???
me: (no, sir, but i am feeling a little bit catty) haha, no, but i am curious- you shop all the way down here???? isn't it a dreadful waste of gas??
drk: ya (completely oblivious to the sarcasm), but it's close to work for me, so not bad- if you want i could show you a few apts.
me: thanks, i think i'm good with the status quo-appreciate it though, do take care.
drk: you too, don't get mugged outside!
me: (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) *smile, nod*
i tell you what- when it rains, it pours- pours CRAZY all over this town ;)

Nice meeting different people isn't it? HEHE. Have a great day ma!
Did he offer to buy you a gallon of milk?
Yeah, that would have been awesome if he offered to buy you milk.

Was fun reading this. High on entertainment value..second dude's conversation aint that weird :-)
