During the first bit of my lunch break I decided to go for a walk because it’s so nice out. While on my walk I decided to drop into the Lansdale thrift store to check out their scifi book section (which has been awful lately, and was today too *sigh*).<\/p>\n
While thumbing through a book I heard some guys giggling, which I ignored, until a tallish, uber-white, skinny one who looked to be about 20 came over and started to talk to me.<\/p>\n
“This is gonna sound so dumb if I’m wrong, but is your name Lyz?”<\/p>\n
“Uh… yeah…”<\/p>\n
“Do you own PrincessLeia.com?”<\/p>\n
“Yup.”<\/p>\n
“Oh man! That’s so cool! I just<\/i> used your Debian mplayer how-to this past weekend! This is so cool! I read on your site that you lived around here!”<\/p>\n
His buddies came around the corner then too, and there was much “haha, I told you it was her!” and laughing. I politely said that I was happy my how-to was helpful but that I had to get back to work. Quite honestly I was freaked out by their excitement, and the fact that someone “in the real world” actually recongnised me. And I am not so good with people I don’t know anyway.<\/p>\n
But in the end I guess it’s kinda cool, I’ve never had that happen before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
