I see weird people.
Nov. 12th, 2002 01:03 pmIn the course of a conversation with a new client, I was told that he sometimes does some under the table work for a landlord in the Victorian Village area. He asked me if I knew the area, and I commented that I think it's a really nice area. We started chatting a little bit about old houses and then he abruptly changed gears. He told me that when he's in Victorian Village, he sees a lot of "weird people."
I admit it, I'm nosey. "There are weird people everywhere," I commented, and he agreed, but seemed persistent that there were especially weird people in the Village. "What kind of weird people?" The question, for me, was almost required.
So he hedged a little bit and finally let me know that he sees "girls holding hands with girls and kissing each other." Well, shoot! He's probably seen me more than once out there in my neighborhood. Maybe I'll look for him next time, and plant a big fat smooch on Jennifer.
