Make your voice break - Sing it out
Mar. 25th, 2011 04:11 pmToday was unusual in two minor, but notable ways.
1. I had a conversation with a stranger and did not panic. This hardly ever happens (both parts of it). Someone saw me reading my viking book on the bus and we ended up talking about medieval history and literature for a short while until he had to step off. It was very unusual, but nice. It's just strange to have that kind of interaction with someone I don't know, but I did like it. That might have to do with never having the opportunity to talk about that stuff offline, but, no matter.
2. I heard someone talking about APH while I was at the cafe. This is entirely unexpected because I live in a remote area and never ever ever would expect that there would be other fans around here. But sure enough, I heard someone mention that they would be going to a convention in the summer, and that they would be cosplaying as Denmark, and that the person they were talking to should come with them. So I listened to the conversation for a while, which was probably rude, but I couldn't help it. I was just so... surprised to hear it. To be honest, I wanted to go over and talk to those two, but interrupting the conversation would've been even more rude than just listening. Besides, they looked young, probably high school students. But, still.
... And to be honest, listening to that conversation made me feel a little bit jealous. I've never had the opportunity to go to a convention. One of my friends recently suggested that we go together to one in June 2012, but the possibility of it happening is so remote that I will try not to even think on it, even though it would be so nice if it could happen.
Other than that, nothing has been going on. Still job-searching, still trying to find time to write. Life is slow, I guess, but there's nothing wrong with that. I received a couple of books in the mail today and can hardly wait to read them. It's always such a nice feeling, having new books to read.
Oh, and I've decided to learn to knit socks. I'd intended to learn to do colourwork first, because Bice says I should, buuuuut... I'll do that later. A place in town opened recently that sells nice yarn and whatnot, and when I saw some of their sock-yarns I just got so excited to try it, so there it is!
