My life is weird, but sometimes very nice
I just seem to attract odd occurances. Or maybe I just talk about them more, I dunno. At least it was pleasant weirdness, though some women might have freaked right out. Me? I just kind of stood there.
Today, as I was standing in front of my office building having a cigarette, a youngish, semi-scruffy guy walks over to me. He didn't look homeless or crazy and just said hi. I said hi back and waited for the inevitable plea for either a cigarette or money, but that's not what I got.
What I got was this guy telling me how sexy I was. Seriously. He asked me where my husband was and when I told him I wasn't married, he declared it a crime. And then told me how sexy I was some more. And it was rather nice because he wasn't leering at me or saying stuff like, "Hey baby, how 'bout you and I go somewhere and make some noise" or anything creepy like that. Yes, he did look me up and down a couple of times, but not in a really creepy way. Then he said, "You've got some meat on you, but I like that. I like it and it looks really good on you." LOL. By then I was smiling. He worried that he'd offended me and I assured him that I wasn't. He never used any overly descriptive terms or anything about my body. Just, "You're a really sexy young lady." Okay I bristle a bit at the 'young lady' stuff, because I'm not young, but I was willing to give this guy a break. Hell, maybe he's legally blind ;)
I've worked downtown long enough to wonder if this just wasn't something to soften me up for asking me for something, but I obviously had no purse or pockets, so I wasn't too worried.
Then he leans over and kisses me on the cheek, very sweet and chaste-like. Just a quick peck and then he walked off around the corner. Huh.
I do remember turning my head to look into his face and he was really close and I could sort of see the intention in his eyes, "OMG! He's going to kiss me!" It was a rather panicky thought, but it was just the peck on the cheek and that was relatively okay.
I was just sort of stunned. When I got back upstairs, I told T, because D's been sequestered in her office for days on a special project. He thinks I've been casting spells or something.
I don't know if it's something in the air around me, or what, but it was really nice. The guy wasn't super cute or anything, though he had really nice eyes. He was just sort of your average downtown slightly scruffy guy.
Actually, now that I think about it, he kind of reminded me of Ma'chello in Daniel's body in Holiday. Not that there was any resemblance, but more in the extremely outgoing manner. Let's face it, my guy had to be just a bit off-center to go up to a perfect stranger and tell her how sexy he thinks she is.
Okay, so maybe the aliens have landed. Or someone sprinkled magic dust on me. And I can bring almost anything around to Stargate, can't I?
