neither hair nor there
so i have this customer who i’ve written about before, who is just as nice as can be…but he only talks to me about two things: a movie i took part in in 2001 that was part of the 48 Hour Movie Contest…
our conversation starts like this:
customer: remember that movie you made?
me: yes. you remind me about it all the time.
customer: that was so good.
me: it was fun.
customer: you should do that again.
me: mm. no.
or he asks me about my hair. believe me, there’s nothing i love more than talking about my hair…but our conversation always goes like this:
customer: i like your hair long.
me: sigh…well, i might cut it short again.
customer: i like it long.
me: well, i only grow my hair for you.
customer: i noticed that all the young sophisticated gay guys have hair like yours.
me: ?
customer: it’s true.
me: well, if there’s anything i aspire to be it’s young and sophisticated.
and these are the two conversations i have with this person every single time he visits the bar. no harm done really…but really?
