Maybe this would happen
You: Hey check out this cool song
Me: Is it Orion by Metallica?
You: Well uh no it is ___________ (song title here)
Me: Sorry, the only song I’m listening to now is Orion by Metallica. It’s the only song I’ve listened to since I bought Master of Puppets at the local Book Off 21 hours ago.
You: How many ti-
Me: 18. If you look in my iTunes you will see all 5 stars filled in. Filled in righteously heavy and dark.
A True Story of This Morning
Me: Walking to 7-11 and passing a small field/large garden.
Farmer: Late 50s, white hair, leaning on a hoe.
Farmer: Say, you going to work today?
Me: No- just to the store.
Farmer: Do you know there is a large forest near here? Well, I heard they’ve got a festival going on in the forest clearing. You ought to go take a look. Lot’s of vegetables for sale.
Me: ok, Thanks
Farmer: Here, I’ll mark it on your map*.
>>you just learned Forest Festival Location Why not go and check it out?< <
Holy Crap Life is like an RPG sometimes
I better trade off my Wooden Sword for the iron one before I go and stock up on potions.
*He did not offer to mark it on my map. That was just to be clever.
______UPDATE_______(a few hours Later)
It was a “Green & Flower Festival” and everyone was either 1/2 of an elderly couple, or 1/3 of a young family (think: Hip Father+Hot Mom+Illegally Cute Baby/Toddler.) Or a Mascot. The people who were running the show were letting kids get their pictures taken with it by a man with a polaroid. I stepped in to ask if I could too could get a photo. The guy was polite (not too happy) and said yes, (Martin Parr’s self portraits flashing through my mind kind of) and gave me a picture to take home.
