Joanne

Sometimes I think God just smiles on me because there are coincidences that just plain don't make sense otherwise. Today, I ended up working with a girl who was, get this, half Indian and half German. Joanne has a very Middle Eastern look and we were talking about Edward Cullen and how he's a creepy stalker when she asked me if I had ever had a creeper boyfriend, so of course I started talking about Saleh. She got real interested when I mentioned he was Egyptian and Saudi, which gave me the perfect opening to ask where she was from. My jaw almost dropped when she told me she was South Indian and German. I asked if she spoke anything other than English. German, she speaks German. I about died. I told her I was a German minor and she launched into a very musical Schwarzwald dialect, talking about the German 300 class she's taking. We had a fun little conversation until customers got in the way and I wanted to ask about the Indian part. And then we started talking about Bollywood and dancing. Of course, everything became a lot less interesting four hours later when we were scraping fried cheese off the grill and cleaning out the refrigerators but there was definitely still that open feeling where you know you've connected with someone.

If she were gay, this girl would be my soulmate. Seriously. German and Indian. Beautiful English accent.
