more weird episodes

just when I thought I´d had enough weird stories for the month...

three guys who were in my tour asked me in the end "have you been to ___ restaurant?"... the conversation followed:
- ahm, yes...
- ah, yes! I knew it!! you are the girl who came back 20 minutes later because you forgot your diet coke!!!
- (bursted out laughing) yes, yes I did...
- yes, I remember you! you came back 20 minutes later, and asked for the things you forgot to take, you said "I´ve paid for chips and coke and I did not get them"... and it was actually 2 diet cokes isn´t it?
- yes.... yes....

oh my, this was SIX MONTHS AGO! (and yes, I was a little bit too drunk). embarrassing.

- and you never came back! why didn´t you come back?
- ah, well...
- yes! come back!! anyway, see you later!

ANYWAY,

I was going back home, everything seemed to be normal... then, I went to buy some food.
While waiting on the queue for paying, ipod in my ears, food in my hands, the man behind me asked (there we go):
- what are you listening?
- (kinda surprised, should I reply? well, it´s just a friendly question)... Robbie Williams...
- ah! I met him! when he was young, and I was young, we both went to Art School,... but he got famous and I did not! and I was wondering whyyyyy if we both went to the same school and I once asked someone and they told me "man life is hard!" but here I am...
- do you sing or something?
- no.. no, I´m a reporter, I write... I am retired now, but I am reporter... so, are you in language school here?
- (thought: is my English that bad?!) no...
- ah, so what do you do here??? what are you doing?
- I´m... I´m... actually doing a DPhil...
- ah!!!!! ah so you are doing a DPhil!! woow ohh..
- what? I don´t look like one I guess (yes, WHY do I keep making conversation with people?)
- ahh.. you know a friend of mine once told me that DPhil students are like soldiers... they don´t look like one... and ah, what is the topic you are doing?? is it relevant to your country???
- well, this is boring..
- no, no, it´s not boring! tell me...
- well, I´m working on poverty alleviation programmes in Mexico..
- ah!!! I once wrote about Mexico, about the earthquake... 198..6?
- 1985,

at this point, I was paying and ready to go.. He said:
- wait! let me tell you something... when´s your birthday?
- ah... May...
- TAURUS! yes, you are taurus, I can see that...
- ah?
- the woman in the till: sir! we are waiting for you
- yes yes, I´m going.. I´m paying now
- woman in the till: yes, there is a long line behind you
- yes, I´m paying, there you go... ah... so, wait, let me tell you this... you are a taurus.. you know (by this point we both were outside the shop), and this morning I was listening to the news while I was walking between the kitchen and the bathroom and the bedroom and back to the kitchen, you know, just listening to the news so you don´t miss anything... and this woman, I think she also was a taurus, was talking about... Jamie Oliver just opened a restaurant here, you know,... how this Italian Chef he associated with and him are raising happy animals, because it´s better for them, I really don´t know if that´s true or not because I´m a buddhist guy anyway and don´t eat meat, but anyway before killing them but at least the lived a happy life, and they were following animals, these animals they took out of these shitty place and put them outside in the farm, and the first day they didn´t know what to do!! because they had not seen anything like that before, but then after a week they were happier, and then the next week they were even happier, and then they were jumping all around!! because you know, cows that are not happy, they may stand on your foot and just stay there (making cow sounds and cow face and cow attitude) and crush your foot, but no!! happy cows may say "oh, sorry sir" and move away, and happy cows are always jumping around!!! like little taurus!!!!!
- ah, I was wondering what the conection was
- that´s the connection!!! taurus are always jumping happily!!!

then he kept asking me stuff about where I study etc but then two friends of mine passed by so that was my chance to leave, and he said:

- well, it´s great meeting you!! take care
