A few weeks ago I came upon a sandwich board outside a small indie coffee joint in the Village just around the corner from Pieces. Both sides struck me with their sentiment, and as I stood there shooting, one of the coffee house guys came out and asked me what I was doing. I replied a slightly embarrassed "taking a picture" as I suddenly had a vision of an enraged coffee junkie going off on me since I was just taking and wasn't actually coming in to get a cup. Instead of course he just smiled and started talking about Twin Peaks and how bizarre and awesome it was. I didn't realize until later that he might have been flirting with me.
And this I'm afraid is the biggest problem with forgetting that other people don't really know the story that's running through your head. That night I was thinking about that night's Bingo event and hoping it would come off well. I wasn't in a place to accept that someone cute might just think that I'm cute too. Now I really don't know for sure if he was flirting or not (or, as we used to call it, cruising, which is really flirting but with a lot tighter clothes) but it's pretty to think so (yes I shouted out The Sun Also Rises, I can be literary when I want to be! LOL) :)
Anyway, I really liked both of these messages - the Twin Peaks quote just generates excitement (and it's hard to think of Agent Cooper as being the same person as the mentally unbalanced Orson he played on Desperate Housewives) and the other, pushes off those little nasty things in our heads that tells us that we're not good enough. Thought that you might like to hear one or both of these on this first day of Spring (although it really feels more like summer already!)
