I was sitting and writing. I guess I do that a lot, or too much, or something- I don't know, it just seems like a theme with me these days. I was sitting and writing, out in the open even, and she just walked right up and asked me about it. That shouldn't have impressed me, as I'd been sitting and writing for a while and she would not have been the first person to just come up and ask me. I think maybe it makes people awkward- like they think I'm doing it just for the attention. She didn't bother me, though, because she was sincerely interested.
Sincerity... that was a change. It seems like no one's been sincere with me since I first picked up the proverbial feather pen a year or so ago- it's like I've got a camera strapped to my head, and everyone feels like they're in a movie whenever I'm around. But this girl, she just came up and asked what I was doing. She didn't care if I wrote something nice about her later, she didn't care that she was a little too deep in my personal space bubble for a stranger on a regular day; she just wanted to see what I was writing.
So I showed her- and she was interested, sincerely. It might sound selfish, but that's one of the most beautiful things that's happened to me in a long time. I actually let her read everything I had on me, which I don't even let my friends do. We got to talking. She wanted to know about my writing, I wanted to know about her in general. I wanted to know everything. 'How are you so honest?' I wanted to ask, but of course I couldn't get it out. I just poked and prodded, and surprisingly we had a lot in common after all that. I guess maybe I'm a better person than I thought, eh?
It was weird, getting up and going home after that. I guess maybe something had changed. Maybe I was different- stronger somehow, deeper. I felt like she'd thrown the penny down the well in just such a way that it never struck the bottom. I was inspired.
Having someone sincere in my life, even for five minutes... I guess now I know how Peter and the other disciples felt. I could almost believe in God again... no, that's a stretch, I'm not in love, I'm just impressed.
And you know what? Maybe it's hypocritical to have not told her I was impressed by her after all of that, but that's ok. Because the next time I sit down and write, and the next time she comes and asks me what I'm doing, I'll have an answer.
Sincerity... I guess that's what you call charisma.

By admiring her honesty you kinda make me wonder about yours.
Or is it just the age?
I liked it anyway.

why would you call your own post "somewhat lame"? I don't get it...
--------------------
Because I've written much better.

Too bad you're a fag.

What would that make you then, toolpush?
Take any sentence, chosen at random, from any of Goferforhire's 80 posts and I guarantee it will have more entertainment and merit than your entire catalogue of shitty cocksucking posts.

Nice story.
As an exercise:
How would you have felt if this person was a guy?
Or a really unattractive girl?
I'm assuming you are heterosexual, and found her attractive.

I hate to be the one that has to tell you this, but... I paid her to come talk to you.
Also, she was a he.
