Secrets

"I don't know what it is about me that makes people think I want to hear their problems. Maybe I smile too much. Maybe I wear too much pink."
-Pam, True Blood

God this is truer than true. I really wonder if I wear an invisible sign that I can't see, but others can. Too many times have I been out somewhere and a stranger just struck up a conversation with me. What do I have to do to make it known that I don't care? And for some reason, those strangers always want to tell me what's on their mind. Why do I care that this stranger sitting in the booth next to me at Applebees has money problems? Hey, why don't you stop going to Applebees then and save your money, chubbs? If I'm out and alone.. Forget about it. If I'm at a bar or a club waiting for friends and having a drink.. no doubt someone (always the creepy ones) want to tell me their deepest darkest secrets. I think I need to start going out with "DO NOT TALK TO ME" written in Urban Decay's Gash Lipstick. (Which is a personal fav, BTW) Maybe that will get it in their heads that I. DO. NOT. GIVE. A. FUCK.

I understand that I work for the judicial system.. So people telling me their problems at work is pretty standard. However, this has been going on my entire life. Maybe the next time a stranger approaches me, I will let out a slow growl. Maybe that will work?

I fuckin hate people.
