cool experience. I never had that opportunity and would have wanted to say something but would have felt weird trying to get her attention since she had on headphones.


I would have played it off like the headphones were on mute and just started motioning to the book or dvd set and talking about it, and if she wanted to take the headphones off and be like "what?" then for sure she would be engaged in conversation.

This is a tough one because when I'm in public I generally don't want people I don't know to talk to me.

I'll go out of my way to avoid it, in fact.

Me too! lol

Although I'm jeckle and hide about it. Sometimes, I'll strike up hilarious length conversations with strangers out of nowhere.

And other times, I wish I was coated in Harry Potter's cloak so I could just slip out of view. lol

you just go up to her and say "ohmigod" (in your valley girl voice) "those are, like, my favorite shows!" And then you ask her something really specific about one of them that will engage her for hours if she's a true fan smile

I don't know if you'd get coffee out of it, but it might add a spark to your day!


the valley girl voice might have sent her running confused


isn't buffy a valley girl? confuse

I had a fun exchange a few months ago. I was using the public computers at the library (great way to meet people, but difficult to concentrate on anything). This young woman next to me (rather plump and boyish looking, but cute with dark rimmed glasses) asked me if I knew how to turn off the sound on the computer. I didn't, but when I looked over at her screen, she was on a Smiths fan site omfg

I couldn't help myself. I just started babbling how I used to be the biggest Smiths fan ever and they were the only band I ever listened to.

She said, "I'm still that way!"

Then I blushed.

Thats cool! biggrin

Something similar happened to me when I was on this site in the university library...but unfortunately the guy was a bit annoying and kept singing 'Purple Rain' to me so I just went upstairs to the other computer lab neutral
