Random Thoughts

I went to Whole Foods Market to buy some cheese. They have this great cheese booth where you can taste the cheese before you buy. I love cheese. But apparently my fellow cheese lovers are all insane. There was a strange looking woman hanging out at the cheese booth. She had old-school over the head headphones on. I think she wears them to drown out the voices that are talking to her in her head. She looked at me and smiled and said “merry christmas”. I looked at her and nodded with a small smile, going quickly back to looking at cheese. She asked me a question about the cheese I was looking at, and then she said “happy holidays”, smiling broadly. She waited a few moments and then said “merry christmas” again with her same crazy big smile. Now I’m feeling uncomfortable and trying to pretend she just isn’t there. She looked over at me and said “Can I hug you?” as she threw her arms wide open waiting for a hug. I told her I’m OK, and she said “Awwww, you’re shy”. No. I’m just not crazy. I wandered around the corner to look at the goat cheese and get a little distance from headphone girl. Then a very short older bearded man stepped up next to me and started telling me which goat cheeses are really good. He went on to tell me about some weird bleeding intestinal condition he has that prevents him from eating much cheese. The first warning sign of trouble is someone who tells you too much about their bleeding intestinal condition without prompting. I think he ended up pointing out about every cheese in the goat cheese case and telling me it was really good. Apparently he really likes goat cheese.

I love cheese so much, the crazies can’t keep me away from it. I need to devise some way to elude the crazies if I go back to Whole Fooods for my cheese needs.
