In which Janet talks to strangers and is a huge geek.

So I was at Roche Bros. today picking up some dinner supplies (I cooked, as I will be doing frequently for the rest of break), and I got in the 12 Items or Less line behind a guy, about 35 or 40, with a shaved head and goatee. After glancing at me a few times, he said:

Guy: Why are redheads around?
Me: Um… I don’t know, why?
Guy: To make sure the blondes don’t mess things up too much!
Me: *nervous laughter* Ha. Ha.
- pause -
Guy: You should read Still Life with Woodpecker. It’s by Tom Robbins.
Me: Yeah?
Guy: You’ll love it, I promise.

I’m all for strangers being friendly, but this guy was a little bit creepy.

Not much has happened around here. My sleep schedule is getting very Justin-and-Jeffrey-ish. Right now I’m sleeping about 6AM-3PM, but I’ll have to stop because the rest of my family is resuming their normal activities, and my mother gets pissy when she wakes up for work to find that I haven’t gone to bed yet.

The Arisia 2007 events schedule just came out, and it contans such wonderful panels as “Neuro-Linguistic Programming,” “Psychology of Geekiness,” “If Harry Dies…,” “Firefly vs. Serenity,” “Modern-day Cyborgs,” and “Pirates: The Romance vs. the Realism.” The science programming doesn’t look as interesting as last year, but overall it still seems excellent. Yaaaay.

How do you guys feel about WesConfess.com? My problem with new media for the ACB was always that we would lose readership, but people seem to be posting on the new board a lot, so I think I’m for it.
