i wore my charlie brown sweatshirt today. at one point during the day, i thought about how i like linus and i love the line where he talks about this quirky girl he fancies at school: "she fascinates me." much later on in the day, i walked down sunset. a man catches up to me and tries to make awkward conversation. i thought he was trying to sell me something or ask me to sign a petition. he then points out my charlie brown sweatshirt and asks me if i am a fan. i say yes in a very terse manner, trying not to perpetuate the dialogue. then he mentions he's more of a fan of linus. at this point, i cross the street and say bye, hahah, just to avoid him. out of the corner of my eye, i notice him walking on the other side of the street at the same pace, occasionally glancing at me. i decide to ignore him, but then he pops up right next to me suddenly. oof. so he tries again to make conversation. i'm a little nicer and ask simple questions. he asked for coffee. i said i was busy. he asked for my number. i asked if email would suffice. he said he doesn't normally walk up to random people, but he just saw me and thought i was "fascinating." and as soon as he said that, i thought... woh.
