don't talk to strangers

how is it possible for complete strangers to actually strike up an interesting, meaningful conversation and befriend each other in just a few hours? perhaps my parents' warning on not talking to strangers has been firmly ingrained into my system i have subconsciously mastered the art of blocking people out and minding my own business especially during commutes.

oh i connect with people once in a while but we don't end up exchanging phone numbers and addresses at the end of the line. i remember talking to someone on a plane ride from manila who introduced himself as a former student under my father. so engineering is what we talked about starting from software engineering to pic's to perpetual motion, philadelphia experiment, time travel, tesla, and conspiracy theories (geeky, i know, well he started it!). at the later part i was all "ah" and "uh huh" and "really?" and "okay" because i'm not much of a fan of conspiracy theories and i had no idea what the philadelphia experiment was all about. i was thinking he should talk to danf haha.

well, that was interesting, but not as interesting as i hoped for haha. better luck next time :)
