Altered Ego!

Did you ever come across people who think so like you? you start off saying “I so agree with you”, “I know!!”, “Oh My God!! you are so like me!” “You must be my alter ego” and then shut up after a while because you dont want to risk sounding fake. [cut cut] But yet internally you are just thrilled at the prospect of finding your soulmate. You talk about pretty much everything under the sun at jet speed, from Capoeira, Bungee jumping, Salsa dancing, Radiology, Victoria Island, The Limited, fresh water pearls, Bahamas Cruises, all the time nodding and agreeing wholeheartedly. [snip snip]

An hour passes at the blink of an eye. The heart feels merrier, the head lighter. We talk talk talk. The lights are going off one by one. We make a date to go the local Martial Arts class the coming week. We exchange phone numbers. She promises to give me more information on the bath houses in Japan where she went vacationing for a month last year. I thank her profusely for the awesome chat we had. Without flinching a single face muscle I shell out 60 dollars and walk out happy and , 4 inches lesser frizz on the head. Yes folks!! Another victim of the evil conspiracy of the Barber Shop Banter.
