Just a little anecdote from my life, just as it is. (and an amusing one at that)

Right. So once I had found the old sandals in a bin, I needed somewhere to put them when taking them home. So in the same bin, I found an old canvas bag. I put the sandals in and left work. I had decided to take a little trip in to town to get some cider, so I took the tube, a few more stops than my regular journey. I was sitting there peacefully, listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers (I have a little RHCP revival) and well, you know, digged the music. An almost young man sat down facing me and for a while I blocked his stare out, but after a while his mouth moved and in my direction. Oh well, okay, lets hear him out. I said, "sorry?" He goes, "well, I noticed your bag, and I can see that you're a student at the university." (Oh, the bag had that logo with url ..for Stockholm university, didn't know that..) I decided quickly to go with it. So I said, "yeah, I am. Studying there." To which he replies quite happily. "I knew it! I never forget a face! I saw you in that lecture with..<insert name here>. Oh it was so brilliant! I taped the whole class and keep listening back!" Me, fascinated by being recognized so randomly but yet pleasingly, explored the idea if I've ever been that excited by a lecture..ever. But I smiled to the young man, and I said "Yeah, I do that too, every night before bed, I just listen to him over and over again and it makes my dream all rosy." He then looked at me again, and changed seat. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. That's just life. And really, that tape is awesome.
