as i was telling june-miller earlier, i had another encounter with a mad homeless guy on the way home from work. i was walking along feeling tired, tense and still a little hurt about the 'old' comment and suddenly a guy started mumbling things at me. i wasn't in the mood for being a mad person magnet so i tried to ignore him. he responded to my blank stare by talking louder. it was then that i actually heard what he was saying to me. he was telling me that i looked like barbara streisand, "...you have the hair and the nose...", he said. i looked at him for a moment and then i felt the sides of my mouth slowly turning upwards. i gave him a big smile as i walked away and by the time i'd reached the other side of the street i was totally cracking up laughing. this guy was not actually the first person to compare me to babs. about 8 years ago the coolest guy and i were living in an apartment in earls court (london, uk). the coolest guy insisted that the condo building cleaner had a thing for me because every time we walked past he gave him dirty looks. anyway, one day the janitor man stopped me as i was coming out of the elevator and told me that he was a big fan of ms. streisand and that i looked just like her.
personally i think i'm pretty unique :)

ok, before this goes any further, i want to apologise to all those people who do knit and simultaneously manage not to be old and boring. i guess my punishment for using my diary to vent (something i said i wouldn't do) is that i offended all the nice people who read it :)

on the way into work this morning a mad homeless guy said to me �if i had lots of money i would buy a box of candy and give it all to you. have a nice day�. assuming he wasn�t quoting tacky song lyrics at me, i think that my best response to this declaration would be to at least attempt to have the nice day he offered me.
