Reality check: reading my blog does not make you an expert on my life.  It's just something I tell my stories to when the cats get bored of listening.  Lulz~

Random story for the day.. years ago I was at the beach with a friend, and a scruffy wrinkled homeless looking old guy walks by us.. and as he passes by he stares at me, then we hear him mutter.. "too white, too white.. you need to get a tan.."
Flash forward 10 years, I'm at a gas station filling up my car, when I hear a guy from behind me yell, "Dayum girl you PALE!  Where you from?"  He looks at my license plate.. "CALI??!!  Damn why so pale??"..

Ok.  So.  Two things I don't get.
1) Is it just me?  Or do people go up to strangers all the time and comment on their lack of skin pigment?  I'm not the only white girl on the planet.. and I'm pretty sure people don't normally get hassled like this..  Which brings me to..
2) What evokes comment from perfect strangers?  Do people think I have more potential, and they need to give me a heads up?  Or do they think I'm beyond hope and feel like giving me a hard time?  I'm guessing the former, since I still get hit on all the time.  But getting called pale isn't the only random comment I get from strangers.  I just don't get it.
