conversations with strangers are pretty


An Indian man from Califorina (only know these things because he told me) stopped me literally in the middle of the street to ask me who was going to win the election. I said, Kerry, but it is just wishful thinking. I have no data. We talked a bit about what he thought and he told me about the 33 different possible outcomes of the electoral college because he has a background in statistics and it looks like Bush has more of a chance to win. He seemed to be for Kerry though because he said something negative about the Bible Belt. haha. Then he asked me what I do, all of this conversation happening in the street and he was just another person not a pollster or anything. I said I am a web developer. He said, really? How old are you? And I said, 31. He said, no way! I thought I was getting the early 20s opinion by asking you. There is no way you are 31, i thought maybe 22! We laughed and said good day.

How come this happens to me so often? I wonder if I have a super power that makes people think I am 22. And if so, how can I use this power for good? This literally happens to me like once a week. Last week, my dad's nurse at the hospital asked him if having a teenager was driving him crazy. He looked at her like she was insane... He said, you mean my daughter here? She said yes, to which I whispered, I'm 31. This isn't a bad thing of course.... it is just strange and makes me wonder if I am witch.

So, I loved this conversation with this strange californian indian man. He was nice and loves democracy.
