So very strange people
Currently:
- Feeling: happy
- Listening to: Barry White - Heavenly that's what you are to me
- Thinking about: today
Today was definitely Freak Day. Saw some weird people-related stuff today. It all started when I had arrived half an hour earlier at the Opera. I wanted to buy tickets for tomorrow's performance: Rigoletto [ I'm going to the Opera!!!! I've waited for this moment for such a long time!] but didn't know that it opens only at 10 o'clock. No problem; took the book from my backpack, sit on the stairs of the building and started reading. Well, shortly after that, a man appeared out of nowhere and started talking to me:
‘I'm X [can't remember the name] and I'm George Enescu's great-grandson. We lookalike, don't we?'
And after this shortly presentation the man started talking on and on and on and on... He was a man in his late-sixties, neatly dressed and smelled of cheap soap. You could see that he had just shaved, from the little red cuts on his cheeks and chin. He told me he had studied at 3 universities and had a very rich family and had had several wives. He studied at 3 different universities and he had seen every performance from the Opera and the Athenaeum in the last 15 year.
The man looked normal, but from the way he was talking you could realise that, well, he's nuts. And he kept blinking rapidly and closing his eyes for 3-4 seconds very often. It was really disturbing. But I kept a smile on my face and simply nodded to all the things he kept talking. I guess he liked that cause he said that if I go on Friday at another performance, he would make sure I won't have to pay. x_X Was that a date? God, I hope not!!! I managed to buy the tickets and then I abruptly departed the half-mad man. Hope I won't bump into him the next time I'm going to the opera.
Then... then I felt awkward. You can't believe how beautiful the beginning of autumn is! Dried leaves everywhere, the sun shining, people coming and going, people having pleasant conversations in cafes, a certain feeling of laziness in the air. I wanted so much to stroll through a park with somebody, anybody. No words, just the rustle of the yellow-red-ish leaves... just the soft breeze singing in my ears... just the autumn calling out my name. Unfortunately no one was available for a violently lazy autumn day. Maybe I'll have more luck the next days.
Getting back to freaks. In the tube, coming home from my evening classes, I managed to find a seat. Happy happy joy joy! Again, I took out my book and started reading... until I felt something on my left should. Slowly I turned and saw that the man next to me had fallen asleep and that his head was resting on my shoulder. My first reaction was to brutally shake his head off my shoulder, but as I was just about to do that, I started giggling. For I don't know what reason, the situation seemed so funny to me! The man woke up muttered some apologies, tried to remain awake but fell into slumber again. This time he managed not to use my as a pillow. But still, as I was looking at the other passengers and I was peeking at him from time to time, I simply couldn't stop giggling!
Now the third and last freaky person. I had just got on the bus when two old men started fighting ON the bus. You could see [and smell] that they had been drinking. They were about 70 years old and looked kind of poor. They cursed each other, they pushed each other... I fearing they will start slapping themselves. Brrr... that was rather disturbing. I mean, they were old people! Old people don't do that! They are nice people who take care of their grandchildren, cook good food and give you money when you visit them. Or, at least, that's the way they should be :)
That's about everything for today... [a sudden feeling of loneliness simply hit me while I was typing these last lines... I'm all alone this weekend, cause Andra went to her grandparents in Vatra Dornei. And I don't have anyone with whom to enjoy a lazy autumn day... *sigh sigh sigh*]
Just one tiny little thing: I've discovered which my favourite flowers are: the sunflower! I think it's the happiest, most beautiful flower!
