Stay Away From Judgemental Linda

She looks snobby, judgemental Linda said. I observed the newcomer who looked a bit stand-offish. But perhaps it is because I had not met her yet. I ran up to tell her that I liked her costume. She was pure steampunk all the way. She was a lovely woman, ready to converse with a stranger, me. We hit it off and sat together for that supper and next day’s lunch. The convention lasted a week, and I saw her often. She always smiled, waved and said “hello”. I never thought my new friend looked or acted snobby. But judgemental Linda is not as open to meeting new people as I am. She wandered around alone most of that week, looking miserable. I thought about spending time with Linda, but then I remembered How judgemental she is, so I saved myself from her.
