Making a New Friend

She wears a shiny pink hat and she stares at me cross-eyed. I smile, trying to pretend all is well and she is normal. She glares at me ferociously, proving she is not. I do not know her. She does not know me. I watch her glaring and staring and I burst out laughing. I cannot stop. Proving I am not normal either. We end up scooting to each other’s tables and become friends for the morning.

It's amazing how we find each other (although we are rather easy to recognize!!)... ;D

Do you think it's the glitter, the glitz, the sparkle or the hats? What say you, Gypsy Queen?

I pick up people faster than most. Sometimes for only twenty minutes or so.
